"I'm back." With a bright shout, Luo Chuan flew over.
His face was full of smiles, as if he had only just come back from some easy, pleasant adventure.
Son Goku immediately went up to him and asked with slight urgency, "Luo Chuan, that powerful, evil aura just now was Frieza's, wasn't it?!" His bright, piercing eyes stayed fixed on Luo Chuan, as though he wanted to confirm the guess in his heart from the other man's expression and answer.
Vegeta, standing nearby, nodded as well. Though he had already decided that it was Frieza's aura, he still chose to confirm it with Luo Chuan, who had been involved, just to be safe.
Luo Chuan took a deep breath, then slowly said, "That's right. It was Frieza. Who knows where that guy was hiding, but he actually found a place similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and trained in there with complete focus for a full ten years. Now he not only has a brand-new form, he even gave it a strange name—Black Frieza. I have to admit, that guy really has become extremely powerful. Even I had to go through quite a bit of effort before I finally managed to drive him off."
Hearing this, Son Goku and Vegeta's expressions instantly turned grave. The news was like a heavy iron hammer, striking hard against the strings of their hearts.
The Frieza of now was undoubtedly an enormous threat to Earth, and even to the entire universe.
At this thought, Son Goku clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind. Since Frieza has already mastered a new form, I absolutely can't just sit around and do nothing! I have to put in even more effort than before, train twice as hard, and strive to surpass him as soon as possible so I can protect everything I treasure!
Vegeta's gaze was just as firm. At that moment, his proud eyes were filled with fighting spirit and determination.
The corner of Granolah's mouth twitched uncontrollably. What did he mean, "quite a bit of effort"? Just listen to what he was saying! Granolah did not know if anyone else had seen it, but he had. This guy had beaten Frieza down mercilessly and directly.
At that thought, Granolah could not help giving a bitter smile and mocked himself inwardly. Sigh, what a terrifying monster. And they said I was the number one in the universe below the gods? Heh... I really was arrogant enough.
Just then, an abrupt voice came over. "It seems the matter has been resolved smoothly."
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Whis appear there without a sound, like a phantom.
"Mr. Whis, why have you suddenly come here?" Son Goku asked, his face full of confusion.
Whis smiled faintly and pointed at Luo Chuan beside them. "Lord Zeno wishes to see you."
At those words, Son Goku and Vegeta were instantly shocked. However, what shocked the two of them seemed slightly different, though it was hard to say exactly how in that moment.
Luo Chuan himself had not expected Zeno to want to see him either. Those two little bald eggs were too simple-minded, so it was probably the Grand Minister's idea.
Thoughts were thoughts. He nodded to show he understood, then followed Whis away.
Vegeta and Son Goku adjusted their emotions, chatted a few more words, then returned to Earth to rest and regroup.
Whis brought Luo Chuan to the God of Destruction Realm. Beerus, Old Kai, and Supreme Kai Shin were all there.
"He's here. Hurry and take him away. Don't keep Lord Zeno waiting."
Beerus urged Supreme Kai Shin on.
"I know."
Luo Chuan placed one hand on Shin's shoulder. Supreme Kai Shin recited an incantation, and the two of them disappeared.
"I really don't know what Lord Zeno wants with this guy. Don't tell me this guy's identity has been exposed? But the Grand Minister said there wouldn't be a problem."
Beerus bit his finger and paced back and forth.
Seeing Beerus so nervous, Whis teased him.
"To think our fearless Lord Beerus is actually scared. What a rare sight."
The more Whis said this, the more nervous Beerus became.
"Relax. Lord Zeno is not a petty person. Besides, we cannot guess Lord Zeno's thoughts anyway, so let's just watch and see what happens."
"That's all we can do."
In Supreme Space, before the doors of Grand Zeno's Palace.
Only a few seconds after Supreme Kai Shin and Luo Chuan appeared, the great hall's doors slowly opened, and the Grand Minister walked out.
He looked at Luo Chuan and Supreme Kai Shin, then nodded.
"Come with me."
With that, he turned and walked inside. Shin and Luo Chuan followed closely behind.
The three of them walked through a long corridor and arrived at the great hall.
Upon seeing Zeno, the supreme god of the universe, Shin immediately knelt and paid his respects. Luo Chuan did not move at all.
The guards beside Zeno slowly narrowed their eyes.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Zeno's bell-like eyes looked at Luo Chuan curiously.
"May I ask what Lord Zeno has summoned this humble one for?"
Luo Chuan acted extremely respectful.
Zeno did not speak. Instead, the Grand Minister said, "After seeing your performance on Cereal Planet, Lord Zeno became very interested in you, so he has arranged a position for you."
"Huh???"
Luo Chuan was stunned. Supreme Kai Shin was stunned as well.
Zeno wanted to give him a position? Was this a joke? He was only a mortal, not a god.
The Grand Minister glanced at Supreme Kai Shin. Shin understood what he meant and respectfully withdrew from the palace. The Grand Minister then gave Luo Chuan a light smile.
"It is not as though only gods can receive positions. Besides, this position is not suitable to be given to a god, and your performance was quite splendid. Giving this position to you is actually rather fitting."
Luo Chuan hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "May I ask what position it is?"
The Grand Minister smiled.
"You really are a slippery one. Don't worry, this position won't do you any harm at all."
"The position Lord Grand Zeno has arranged for you is Time-Space Patroller."
At that, Luo Chuan sank into thought. Why did that name sound so much like the name of a team from a game?
"It seems you know quite a lot. That's right, although the name of this position is similar to the Time Patrol created by the Supreme Kai of Time, they are fundamentally different."
"Your position's main duty is to patrol for anomalies that appear in the multiverse and spacetime. You may also intervene directly, and even completely change predetermined outcomes. Of course, that would indeed create new parallel spacetimes, but with this, it won't—and it can also allow you to travel to other spacetimes."
The Grand Minister had clearly misunderstood, but Luo Chuan understood what he meant.
A white bracelet appeared in the Grand Minister's hand.
"This was made from Tokitoki's egg. With this, you can travel through spacetime without creating any other parallel timeline."
Luo Chuan thought for a few seconds, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. He took the bracelet from the Grand Minister's hand and put it on. From that moment on, he became a Time-Space Patroller.
"The method for using this bracelet is very simple. You just need to think about setting off. However, the spacetime line you travel to will be random. Also, if you want to return, simply say, 'Return to the main spacetime.'"
"Understood. Thank you for informing me, Lord Grand Minister."
Luo Chuan bowed respectfully.
"All right, you can dispense with these formalities from now on. Lord Grand Zeno has permitted it."
"Yes. Thank you, Lord Grand Zeno."
Luo Chuan bowed again.
"Mm-hm. Then off you go."
Grand Zeno's childish voice rang out.
Luo Chuan turned and left. After exiting the temple, he saw Shin and walked up to him.
"Lord Supreme Kai, I won't be going. I'm going somewhere else."
Shin did not ask too many questions. He only told him to be careful in all things, then chanted a spell and returned to the God of Destruction Realm.
After Shin left, Luo Chuan said "set off" in his heart, and in the next instant, he vanished.
The Grand Minister appeared.
"What an impatient little one. Let me see what changes you can bring to the multiverse and spacetime."
Then the Grand Minister disappeared.
A city that had once been extremely prosperous was now a scene of deathly silence.
Ruined walls stood everywhere. The buildings looked as if they had been ripped apart at will by some enormous, merciless hand, leaving only shattered concrete frames and twisted rebar, like monsters baring their fangs and claws.
The streets were covered in broken glass, bricks, stones, and all kinds of refuse. The once-flat roads had been split apart by huge cracks, as if the earth had opened hideous, gaping mouths.
Abandoned vehicles lay scattered in every direction. Some were half-buried beneath collapsed buildings, while others had crashed and been crushed together. Their bodies were covered in rust and dust, as though silently recounting the chaos and panic of doomsday's arrival.
In the once-bustling commercial district, shop signs hung precariously, display windows were all shattered, and the goods inside were scattered across the floor, buried beneath a thick layer of dust.
The clamor of people from days past was gone. Only the howling wind remained, along with the occasional sound of debris falling from the ruined buildings.
The air was thick with the smell of decay and dust. The sky was always gray and dim, like a massive slab of lead pressing down over the city, making it feel unbearably oppressive.
"What spacetime is this? How could it be so ruined?"
Luo Chuan pondered as he flew.
The moment he appeared in this city, he had sensed his surroundings and found no signs of life at all.
Suddenly, an explosion erupted in the distance. He sensed it and discovered that people were fighting, so he sped up and flew over.
