"Me?"
Lin Chen was a little surprised. Why could he open a path to a designated dimension?
"Hey! Are you making this up? Lin Chen doesn't have psychic powers. How could he do any of that?"
Beside him, Tights shouted.
Zuno did not even glance at her. "You have no offering. You may not ask questions!"
"What? You fat bastard, I... mmmph!"
Before Tights could finish, Jaco clamped a hand over her mouth.
Come on, Tights wasn't Lin Chen! How could she speak to Lord Zuno like that?
Zuno said, "Unless someone else shares your name, it is you. You possess a special power. As long as you take the time metal to a black hole, you can open a path to the designated dimension."
Could it be...
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He was beginning to understand what Zuno meant.
The special power Zuno mentioned was probably the system within Lin Chen.
In other words, as long as he took the time metal to a black hole somewhere, his system might help him travel to the timeline where the other Broly lived?
System, is that what he means? Lin Chen silently asked.
Ding! In response to the host: the system is prohibited from disclosing information about new functions before their activation conditions have been met.
If it couldn't say, that meant yes.
Lin Chen smiled. "All right, I understand. Thank you."
With that, Lin Chen prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around, something else occurred to him. He looked back and asked, "By the way, is there any way for me to gain enough power to rival a God of Destruction in a short time?"
"You have already used up your questions..." Zuno replied out of habit, but he quickly noticed the glowing energy ball on Lin Chen's finger.
"The first method is to train under an Angel. An Angel's training can make you stronger quickly."
"The second method... there isn't one. Strength is something you can only obtain through your own training. There are no shortcuts to the top."
Zuno closed his eyes and sighed, then suddenly opened them again and looked at Lin Chen. "No, in your case, there might be a shortcut."
"You really do know everything."
Lin Chen smiled, then turned to Tights and Jaco. "Let's go! We're heading back to Earth."
Only after watching Lin Chen and the others disappear did the all-knowing Zuno breathe a sigh of relief.
His attendant looked furious. "Lord Zuno, just who is that Saiyan? Should we ask a Supreme Kai to deal with him?"
"Forget it! He is not someone we can handle. Not even a Supreme Kai could."
Then, with a solemn expression, Zuno ordered his attendant to close the gates. They would accept no more visitors that day.
After returning from Zuno Planet, Lin Chen began preparing for his journey through time and space.
Although Zuno had said that the time metal Tamulerpes no longer existed in this world, Lin Chen knew he could obtain a piece as long as he summoned Shenron.
However, the dragons of both planets had been summoned not long ago. The soonest Lin Chen could make another wish was in 130 days, when he could summon Planet Namek's dragon.
Although he had to wait 130 days, that interval suited Lin Chen perfectly.
After all, he was going to another parallel timeline. Although he could now transform into a Super Saiyan, he could not guarantee that he would return safely.
Those 130 days would give Lin Chen just enough time to train properly.
Over the following days, Lin Chen trained on both Earth and Planet Vegeta.
Sometimes he trained hard in Earth's 500-times Gravity Room. At other times, he sparred with Hanasia, honing his skills in battles between Super Saiyans.
Yet Lin Chen still felt that all this grueling training was not enough.
After all, the opponent he would face was Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan who shared his bloodline.
Although this Broly looked similar to the Broly Lin Chen knew, they were completely different people. Almost every negative emotion a Saiyan could possess was concentrated within him, and the side effects of his bloodline had caused him to lose nearly all reason at an early age. All he knew was fighting and slaughter.
In the story Lin Chen knew, Son Goku and the others had brought together the power of four Super Saiyans, yet still failed to defeat the mighty Broly. Only after all the Z Fighters concentrated their ki into Son Goku alone had they barely managed to defeat him.
Lin Chen knew very well that, in his current state, fighting Son Goku and those other three Super Saiyans at once was out of the question. Even facing four Hanasias simultaneously would be difficult. If he could not improve his strength quickly, his trip to the parallel timeline would most likely end in disaster.
Time passed, and the day when Porunga would recover was drawing near. Yet Lin Chen still felt that he was falling a little short.
Compared to over a hundred days ago, his battle power had indeed increased. But that rate of improvement was nowhere near enough for the challenges he would face.
Hanasia, moreover, lacked a talent for combat. Already weaker than Lin Chen in battle power, she could no longer offer him any new insights through their sparring.
What if I fought this world's Broly?
An idea suddenly surfaced in Lin Chen's mind.
Although the powerful enemy he would face was Broly from another world, this world had a Broly too.
If I fought this world's Broly, perhaps it would help me deal with the other one?
With that thought, Lin Chen immediately set off for Kami's Lookout, met Broly, and explained why he had come.
"Linx, you want to fight me?"
"Yes. I might be facing a powerful enemy soon, so I want to improve my strength. Hanasia can't help me anymore, and that made me think of you!"
Lin Chen looked at Broly with some excitement. Although Broly was suppressing his aura, leaving the Scouter to display a battle power of only 5,000, that was not his true strength.
Through his own system, Lin Chen could clearly see that Broly's battle power had already reached 1.2 million!
Lin Chen knew that Broly had never trained since the day he was born, yet he still possessed a battle power of 1.2 million.
His Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline certainly lived up to its name.
Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline was somewhat different from Lin Chen's.
In terms of the Dragon Ball world's setting, Broly possessed the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline from Dragon Ball Super, while Lin Chen possessed the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline from the Dragon Ball Super Battle movie.
In terms of battle power amplification, Broly's bloodline was far stronger than Lin Chen's Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline.
Thus, a fight with Broly would certainly help Lin Chen.
But to Lin Chen's surprise, after hearing what he wanted, Broly resisted. "Linx... I don't want to fight, not even with you."
"Broly, we'd only be practicing..."
"Linx, have you forgotten why I came to Earth in the first place?"
Lin Chen was momentarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, hadn't Broly come to Earth with Lin Chen precisely to escape the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta and their endless daily challenges?
Yet now Lin Chen was asking to fight Broly, just like those people... Didn't that make him no different from them?
"I'm sorry, Broly. I didn't consider your feelings."
Realizing his mistake, Lin Chen immediately apologized.
But then he found himself in a bind. If he could not fight Broly, how was he supposed to improve his strength now?
