Boom--!!!
Amidst a deafening roar, the special door that separated time and space shattered instantly!
This also completely severed all connections between the interior of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and the outside world.
Tapion and Gotenks went through a life-or-death battle inside, but to Kami and Mr. Popo outside, they simply rushed in and immediately came out covered in wounds.
The Kami and Mr. Popo were taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
Immediately, the two saw the rubble scattered on the ground and the disheveled expressions of Tapion and Gotenks after surviving the ordeal, and their faces were instantly filled with joy.
"That's fantastic! You guys actually did it!"
That monster will never be able to come out again!
Tapion finally showed a rare moment of relaxation.
it's over.
The fate and curse that had haunted him for a thousand years has finally come to an end today!
Gotenks also broke the Fusion.
In a blinding white light, he re-split into Trunks and Son Goten.
The two little ones lay sprawled on the white tiles of the Lookout, their chests heaving as they gasped for breath.
They exchanged a glance, each seeing their own reflection in the other's disheveled state, and then grinned in unison.
"I'm starving! I'm starving!"
Trunks rubbed his rumbling stomach.
" Mr. Popo, is there anything good to eat?"
Mr. Popo smiled, nodded emphatically, and turned to walk quickly to the kitchen.
Soon, a sumptuous feast with fragrant aromas was served.
Tapion and the two little ones sat around the table, devouring their food with great gusto.
This rare moment of peace finally gave their tense minds and weary bodies a chance to catch their breath.
Tapion, too, couldn't remember the last time he could sit down and enjoy his meal so peacefully...
During this time, Son Goku, Piccolo, and Vegeta landed safely on the plaza of the Lookout.
In Piccolo's hand was an old man who had been beaten black and blue and was unconscious.
It was Hoi.
Hearing the noise, Trunks and Son Goten, who were fighting a giant piece of roasted meat, were startled.
They were forced to stop eating and frantically searched their bodies.
Son Goten was the first to pull a Hoi-Poi Capsule from his pocket and throw it on the ground.
With a soft "thump," a fully enclosed helmet appeared on the floor tiles.
Feeling guilty, he grabbed the helmet and frantically tried to put it on his head.
Seeing this, Trunks hurriedly took out his own Capsule and repeated the same action.
Two soft clicks, and two comical helmets fit perfectly, covering their panicked little faces.
Tapion smiled gently as he looked at the two children's embarrassed expressions.
Turles had told him about them.
He knew that the two little guys were afraid of being recognized by Son Goku and Vegeta, who had just returned.
Tapion put down his cutlery, stood up, and walked out of the side hall.
As soon as Vegeta landed, he crossed his arms and arrogantly surveyed his surroundings.
Everything on this planet seemed new and exciting to him.
Son Goku spotted Tapion emerging from the side hall at a glance.
Seeing that the other person was unharmed, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he and Piccolo quickly went to meet them.
"Mr. Hero! Thank goodness, you're alright!"
Son Goku's eyes were full of concern.
Tapion smiled and nodded.
"Yes! Sorry to have worried you! We have successfully dealt with the Phantom Majin Hirudegarn!"
"Is it that big guy? Really?"
Son Goku was overjoyed upon hearing this. He recalled the sudden change in aura he had sensed on the road earlier and excitedly pressed for details.
"We also felt his energy suddenly vanish! What happened?"
"That's right, we've locked it up in a place where it can never get out!"
Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Son Goku Wukong, and he instantly understood.
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber...
He immediately understood Tapion's words.
They also realized that they must have gone through a fierce battle to achieve this outcome.
While Son Goku was talking with Tapion, Kami and Piccolo were caught in an extremely subtle atmosphere.
The Kami, leaning on his scepter, slowly emerged from the Lookout. He looked at Piccolo with a complex expression, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to begin.
Piccolo keenly sensed the gaze of the Kami.
His expression instantly turned cold. Without exchanging a single word or even a glance, he abruptly turned his head away and looked elsewhere.
That aloof attitude was all too obvious.
Seeing this, the Kami could only let out a barely audible sigh and awkwardly withdrew his gaze.
His grip on the scepter tightened slightly, and his expression somber.
Born from the same source, yet ultimately two independent entities, with a deep-seated divide already formed.
Tapion also noticed the cold and subtle atmosphere between the two, and looked at Son Goku with some confusion and a questioning look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Son Goku could only smile helplessly, scratch the back of his head, and try to smooth things over.
"Haha... it's a long story, their relationship... well, it's rather special..."
Hoi, who had been thrown to the side, struggled to lift his head. His vision was blurry, and he happened to hear Tapion's declaration, "You'll never get out."
Hoi's body stiffened abruptly.
His gaunt face instantly lost all color and became panicked.
"No... it's impossible..."
He saw Tapion standing not far away, and saw the calmness in the other's eyes, a calmness born of relief.
Then, recalling that Hirudegarn's contact with him had been cut off just before he was captured...
His eyes instantly became empty and lifeless.
driven to distraction.
