Kusu's Battle

The towering mushroom cloud resounded throughout the sky, and the surrounding mountains and cities were instantly and violently impacted, turning into dust.

"Yamcha..."

Krillin's pupils dilated and contracted, and his shout resounded throughout the entire sky.

"Uncle Yamcha..."

Rose suddenly flew in from afar, no longer caring about finding the truth behind the Infinite Mist. She unleashed her Ultra Instinct power, and every skeleton soldier that passed by was instantly vaporized by Ultra Instinct.

Android 21 took off his glasses and tossed them aside, transforming into his Majin form. A wide-range blast shattered all the surrounding skeleton soldiers, clearing a path as he flew towards the huge crater ahead.

Yamcha, dressed in a dirty orange martial arts uniform made by Pilaf, lay motionless in the huge pit, his black hair dancing in the breeze, his legs curled up and down. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Yamcha's death also prompted Vegeta, Son Gohan, and the others who were far away to fly over immediately. Even Zhai Kou and the others were taken aback! Or rather, they were completely surprised.

"Yamcha!"

Krillin felt a pang of desolation; Yamcha's death sent a chill down his spine.

Piccolo snapped out of his daze and calmly said, "Don't worry, as long as we win, Yamcha can be revived with the Dragon Balls. Everyone, prepare for battle and proceed according to plan. Rose, what do you think? Have you noticed anything in this Infinite Mist?"

Suppressing her grief, Rose nodded and said, "The primordial chaos of the universe, the true origin, this endless mist is the primordial chaos, this is Lucifer's Spatial Loop."

Rose continued, "If I were to reach the Spatial Loop, I could use the reverse curvature to directly seize Lucifer's Infinite Mist. Unfortunately, I never managed to master that final Disorder disorder. Space has no order, no rules. In the final step of constructing the world, my instincts always unconsciously controlled me."

Piccolo nodded, looking down at Rose, a smile appearing on his usually stern face. He said, "That's normal. Although you possess talent and intelligence that many of us lack, you're still too young and inexperienced. Experience requires the accumulation and refinement of time, which is what you lack. Don't worry, Rose, we're here for you. You've already done very well."

Rose looked at the encouraging looks on everyone's faces and nodded heavily. Yamcha's death made her realize that things were different here than before; a slight mistake could lead to death.

During her training, she had developed connections and feelings with everyone. Yamcha's death filled her with rage. If it weren't for attracting the Fallen Angel, she would have wanted to rush over and wipe out all the skeleton soldiers and Laira.

In an unknown space, shrouded in Infinite Mist, the atmosphere was unusually gloomy and eerie. At this moment, Kusu gripped her staff, her blue eyes filled with vigilance as she looked around.

"Welcome to the Time Wheel, Kusu."

Kronos's voice was dark and eerie, making every nerve in Kusu's body tense.

"Lucifer's Infinite Mist is here too, Goku, you must come! Don't lose yourself, whether we can defeat Kronos depends on you."

Kusu muttered to herself, without saying another word to Kronos. She activated her Ultra Instinct power, paused, and charged towards Kronos.

"They didn't even say hello? I'm so sad!"

Kronos shook his head, but despite saying that, he showed no sign of sadness. He Spatial Compression, forming a sword blade in his palm, and slashed it forcefully towards Kusu.

Buzz!

The blade sliced through Kusu ' body, and under Kronos' astonished gaze, Kusu' body slowly dissipated, like a dream bubble.

"It's an afterimage... Ugh! Pfft..."

Kronos felt a tremendous force coming from the back of his head. Despite her flying kick, Kusu's feet struck the back of his head with force, sending his body flying and spitting out a mouthful of dark purple blood.

"Uncle Kronos, it's been so long, haven't you gotten rusty? You're too weak!"

Kusu raised both hands high, gathering the power of Ultra Instinct to form a huge energy blast. The silver aura was like flames as she forcefully hurled it towards Kronos.

Kronos was also angered by Kusu's words. When he, Lucifer, and the Grand Minister reached the Supreme Realm, Kusu was just a little girl who liked to follow them around. Now she's grown up, become a hedgehog, or rather, completely ruthless.

Thump...

Suddenly, a chime sounded, and the space around Kronos began to writhe abnormally, enveloping Kronos and causing him to disappear.

Buzz...

The energy blast, radiating a silvery flame, struck a small asteroid in the distance.

Time seemed to stand still. Energy spread, instantly engulfing all matter within a diameter of 40,000 light-years, annihilating them in an instant under Kusu's energy blast.

"Kronos has merged with the timeline of this world!"

Kusu twirled and brandished her staff in her hand, her blue eyes constantly scanning her surroundings warily.

"Hahaha... Kusu, you've grown up. Not only has your mouth gotten sharper, but your temper has also gotten worse."

Kronos's words echoed throughout the space, hollow yet filled with an eeriness.

Kusu said, "Uncle Kronos, you're going to kill me, how could I possibly show you any mercy?"

Kronos chuckled and said, "Why don't you just join us? To be honest, I really can't understand Michael. If we had joined forces back then, we might have succeeded long ago. Even the Zeno- King would have had to compromise then."

Kusu was silent for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Uncle Kronos, you and Uncle Lucifer are clearly enemies with Dad, so why do you and Uncle Lucifer, both of you, seem to have a good relationship with Dad?"

"Hahaha..."

Kronos laughed, seemingly finding Kusu's question laughable.

"Kusu, you're still so young. You didn't see that time, so you wouldn't understand. Maybe Michael has parted ways with us now because of some differing beliefs, but that friendship remains unchanged. However, his other children are really terrible, utterly useless. They're a bunch of good-for-nothings, not even as good as any one of the Fallen Angel combined. They're far inferior to the Angel of the past."

Kusu retorted without hesitation, "I still can't understand you. As for those Fallen Angel, someone will take them in; your defeat is inevitable."

"Huh! Another human has barged in. Is Saiyan like Yamoshi? Oh, I see. Did he accidentally get caught up in earlier? Anyway, Zalama, I'll leave that low-level Saiyan to you. Deal with him and come right over."

Kronos's voice made Kusu's heart skip a beat. Whether they could defeat Kronos and destroy the Time Wheel depended entirely on Son Goku.
