"Lin Chen, the situation is clear now. Those Dragon Balls are the space-time anomalies, and their appearance is connected to the Dark Demon World," Chronoa said gravely.
Hearing Chronoa's conclusion, Lin Chen grew puzzled again. He raised his head, hoping she could give him an answer.
"Lady Chronoa, do you know where these Dark Dragon Balls came from?"
Chronoa shook her head helplessly. "I'm sorry. I did look, but nothing like the Dark Dragon Balls has ever existed in any space-time. That's why I suspect the people of the Demon World created them themselves."
"The people of the Demon World?"
Lin Chen's heart lurched. "Lady Chronoa, Hearts once told me that the mastermind behind him was Dragon God Zalama. Could he have created the Dark Dragon Balls?"
"Impossible!"
Before Chronoa could answer, Piccolo, who had overheard their conversation, cried out. Like the Namekians of Universe 6, he reacted strongly to Lin Chen's words.
"Mr. Lin Chen, Zalama is the great Dragon God! How could he possibly collude with the people of the Demon World?"
"But Piccolo, did you know that Zalama was sealed away a long time ago?"
Lin Chen dropped a bombshell, and sure enough, it left Piccolo stunned.
"Lord Zalama? Sealed away?"
"Yes, that happened a very long time ago." Chronoa nodded. "I won't go into exactly when. In any case, one day, Dragon God Zalama launched a rebellion against Lord Zeno in all the main space-times simultaneously. But he was defeated and sealed away somewhere. If what Lin Chen said is true, then he really could have created the Dark Dragon Balls. Only Lord Zalama could make Dragon Balls with such divine power, capable of traveling through space-time."
"L-Lord Zalama actually rebelled against Zeno? And he was sealed away? Th-this..."
For a moment, Piccolo was utterly bewildered.
