As the flames subsided, Vegeta gradually revealed himself, gazing at the massive crater created by the explosion beneath his feet.
The high temperatures generated by the explosion have turned the surface of the crater into a layer of scorched earth.
Where was Moro now? He had long since turned to ashes, and even his soul had ceased to exist.
"Phew! Finally, Moro is gone." Merus breathed a sigh of relief.
It's no wonder he was overly worried; Vegeta and his friends were just too reckless.
They could have resolved the issue directly in prison, but instead, they gave Moro another chance to recover from his defeat at the height of his power.
Fortunately, Vegeta and his friends are far stronger than Moro, which is why Merus agreed.
"Thank you so much this time! Mr. Son Goku, Mr. Vegeta, Mr. Broly!" Merus said sincerely again.
"No, we just want a peaceful life. We will definitely deal with troublemakers like Moro on our own initiative."
Goku doesn't like people being overly respectful with their thanks; a normal "thank you" is fine.
Going too far can easily make people feel awkward.
"Hmph! I just want to find a worthy opponent." Vegeta replied with his usual arrogance.
Seeing this, Goku could only shake his head helplessly. Vegeta's answer was the same as before, the same arrogant statement.
Broly, standing to the side, scratched his head awkwardly, feeling unworthy of the thanks.
He did nothing but watch the show from the sidelines, unlike Goku who suggested dealing with Moro, Vegeta who took action to eliminate Moro.
I really felt like I was just a bystander.
"Haha, you guys come back to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters with me later. The Galactic King will personally award us our medals."
Merus suddenly remembered something and quickly told Goku and the others.
The three of Goku exchanged glances. They didn't really want to go, but since Merus had brought it up, they didn't refuse.
"Hmm... that's fine. By the way, Merus, you can call us by our names from now on, otherwise it feels awkward to add 'Mr.' after us." Goku nodded on behalf of the three of them.
"OK."
Just as Merus was preparing to take Goku and the others to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters.
Beyond the 12 universes.
The Grand Priest gazed at the scene before him, and in that scene were none other than Merus and Goku.
The Grand Priest's perpetually indifferent expression was now tinged with a hint of joy.
"It seems Merus doesn't need to transform into a human anymore!"
Although Merus thoroughly enjoys life with the Galactic Patrol, the Grand Priest will not voluntarily help him transform into a human.
In the original timeline, transforming Merus into a human was a last resort, but also the best solution.
She actually wanted to change Merus ' fate and let him continue to live as an angel.
However, the original version of myself in the original timeline could not do this. If I did, it would disrupt the timeline and accelerate the revival of that thing.
While disrupting spacetime won't fully revive that thing, it will greatly accelerate the process.
Zalama paid a heavy price to put that thing to sleep, and I can't let personal feelings make me the culprit.
In fact, the Grand Priest had already planned to change Merus's fate before this.
Because of the unique nature of this time and space, I am able to change Merus ' fate.
In fact, I don't even need to do anything; this spacetime is already different from the normal spacetime.
In the future he observed, Merus did not disappear after using his power.
However, just in case, the Grand Priest personally took charge.
As expected, the ending was exactly as he had foreseen; Merus had long since escaped the fate of being transformed into a human.
By this time, Goku and his companions had returned to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters, where Galactic King had already prepared the medals.
Goku watched calmly as the Galactic King hung medals on their chests one by one.
What's there to be excited about with his current strength?
He really didn't care much for these medals; what use were they anyway?
Fortunately, it shouldn't take too much time.
After receiving the medals, Goku and his companions bid farewell to Merus and Jaco and returned to God of Destruction's Planet to train.
It's not even five o'clock yet, and it hasn't even taken an hour to deal with Moro and his gang.
Normally they would return to Earth at six o'clock.
In the past, Goku might have gone straight back to Earth, unlike Vegeta who chose to stay on God of Destruction's Planet to train.
but!
Not long ago, a faint sense of urgency kept telling Goku: Cultivate! Cultivate! Your current strength is not enough!
Therefore, Goku had to devote more time to cultivation.
Goku even considered using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to boost his power.
This sense of tension came out of nowhere, like a rootless duckweed.
With his dimensional level reaching that level, this premonition is likely to be correct, meaning that in the future, something even he finds difficult to handle will indeed happen!
Could the Darkness Demon Realm be the one that even I find difficult to deal with? With my current strength, apart from the Dark King that Chronoa mentioned, no one can threaten me.
According to Chronoa, the Dark King Power of the Gods Fifth Realm.
My own strength has always been far below that of the dimension.
If I were to raise my strength to a level commensurate with that of the dimension, then my power would definitely surpass that of the Dark King.
Therefore, the only way to improve one's strength to match that of the dimension is through the use of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Once a match is made, the cultivation speed using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will decrease significantly.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, if one only improves their strength and doesn't need to cultivate their dimensional speed, it will be faster. However, after being matched, one will have to spend time meditating to improve their dimensional speed.
Why do those God of Destruction progress in power so slowly?
This is not only because the stronger you are, the more difficult it is to improve; the higher the dimension, the more difficult it is to improve.
This also shows Jiren's talent. Judging from the current rate of his growth, his talent is far superior to that of Belmod.
Everyone improves the fastest after their dimensional level matches their strength.
Even Broly is the same; when his strength matches his dimension, the rate at which his strength increases is far greater than when it doesn't. However, even when Broly's strength doesn't match his dimension, his rate of growth is still far beyond that of ordinary people.
Secondly, the speed of dimensional cultivation inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is extremely slow, far slower than outside. This is due to the environment, which naturally slows down the speed again.
Even so, the speed of cultivation inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is still faster than outside.
As for how much faster he is than Goku, I don't know either, I haven't tried it myself, have I?
" Chronoa, how's the seal on the Dark King going?" Goku asked Chronoa across time and space as he continued his physical training.
"Hmm? Goku? Why are you suddenly asking about the Dark King?"
Chronoa, who was working, was clearly surprised to hear Goku's voice.
However, he still quickly checked the seal of the Dark King.
"Hmm... Normally, it can definitely hold out. The spacetime affected by the Darkness Demon Realm is not enough for the Dark King to break the seal."
"Really? I've been feeling a sudden, faint sense of urgency lately, and I think it might be related to the Dark King, so I came to ask and also to give you a heads-up."
Goku was now even more certain of his guess.
Okay! Here's the key point—under normal circumstances!
Then, unsurprisingly, something bad is bound to happen. Tell Chronoa to be extra careful.
"Okay, thank you, Goku. I'll be more careful in the future," Chronoa quickly replied.
Whether the Dark King can break the seal is a matter of paramount importance for the Time Realm.
"Okay, is there still no news about Towa?"
Goku hadn't forgotten that Chronoa would tell him whenever she had news about Towa.
But there hasn't been a single piece of news over the years. Even if it weren't for the Dark King's matter, I would have wanted to contact him and ask.
"Hmm... no, since the last great war, most of the people in the Darkness Demon Realm Darkness Demon Realm have retreated into their own territory, especially the top combatants who have hardly shown their faces."
Chronoa also somewhat helpless.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Goku, but that she genuinely had no information!
"Looks like the Darkness Demon Realm is brewing something big again."
Goku was certain that the Darkness Demon Realm was plotting something, and this was inextricably linked to the Dark King breaking the seal.
"Yes, I think so too." Chronoa confirmed Goku's guess.
After being rivals for so many years, don't they understand what the Darkness Demon Realm is up to?
"Just be careful, I'll hang up now."
Goku severed the interdimensional connection between his mind and Chronoa, because it was time to return to Earth.
Goku glanced at Whis and Beerus not far away, then walked straight over to them.
" Whis, Lord Beerus, I may not be coming to God of Destruction's Planet for several days."
Before leaving, Goku informed Beerus and Whis.
"Huh? Goku, what's going on? You haven't come for several days? Are you going out to play with Bulma again?" Beerus looked at Goku with a surprised expression.
Since he woke up, Goku has only rested for one day at most. The only time he rested for many days was when he took Bulma on a trip through space while he was sleeping.
Of course, this is what Whis told him.
"No, my strength has always lagged behind that of the dimension, hasn't it? This time, I plan to raise my strength to match that of the dimension."
"Hmm? You weren't in a hurry before, so why are you like this now..." Beerus couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Because not long ago I kept feeling a vague, inexplicable sense of urgency," Goku answered truthfully.
Beerus's pupils contracted instantly. He quickly looked at Whis, only to find that Whis was also smiling at him.
" Goku, I didn't expect you to sense it too." Beerus shook his head helplessly.
"What? Lord Beerus sensed it too?"
"Yes, I felt it millions of years ago, and not only me, but even Whis felt it." Beerus nodded.
" Whis sensed it too?" Goku's brows furrowed.
It seems things aren't as simple as I thought; this sense of urgency definitely didn't come from the Dark King of the Darkness Demon Realm.
How could the Dark King alone possibly make Whis feel a sense of urgency?
Whis's strength is considered among the strongest Central City the Divine Power Sixth Realm.
To put it bluntly, does the Dark King even deserve the title?
"Haha, Goku, you don't need to worry so much. Of course, we asked the Grand Priest Grand Priest about this, and his explanation was that we don't need to worry too much; they will handle it."
Beerus couldn't help but laugh when he saw Goku's serious expression.
This is rare! I don't think I've ever seen Goku make such an expression before; this is the first time.
" The Grand Priest told us not to worry? They'll handle it?" Goku raised an eyebrow.
"They"? Does it refer to the Grand Priest himself and the Zeno? Or perhaps the Dragon God Zalama as well?
Thinking of this, Goku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; it was good that the Grand Priest and the others would handle it.
That's not my turn yet. If even the Grand Priest and the others can't solve it, I'm powerless to do so even if I want to!
However, I should still go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The Darkness Demon Realm's scheme is no joke, and who knows when the Dark King will break the seal.
I still need to raise my strength to match the dimensions, and ultimately defeat the Dark King!
Only with strength can one feel at ease.
"It would be best if the Grand Priest could handle it, but in any case, I won't go wrong by increasing my strength."
"Haha, whatever you say."
"Okay, see you in a few days." Goku waved and then Instant Transmission back to Earth.
Now, he's the only one left who hasn't returned to God of Destruction's Planet; Vegeta and Broly returned long ago, right on time.
There's no other reason than going back to eat.
I need to hurry too, otherwise, with Vegeta's speed...
After Goku left, Whis looked at Beerus with a wicked grin.
"Hey, Whis, what's with that look on your face? Am I that funny?" Beerus couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw it.
"Oh ho ho, Lord Beerus, Goku's strength should completely surpass yours in a few days, right? I didn't expect that day to come so soon!"
"Tch! Of course I know! Do you need to tell me?" Beerus said through gritted teeth.
Whis specifically pointed out that this behavior was like rubbing salt into a wound.
It hurts, it really hurts so much!
He, the strongest God of Destruction, was surpassed by someone from his own universe, just like Belmod.
Even if Divine Technique were used!
The next day, Goku told Bulma and went straight into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
8 days later!
Goku has emerged from seclusion!
At this moment, Goku's eyes clearly held a hint of vicissitude, filled with loneliness and solitude.
Although only eight days had passed in the outside world, he had cultivated in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a full eight years!
Goku was determined to complete his training and emerge from seclusion in one go.
Eight years, a full eight years, without ever stepping out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!
Facing a vast, desolate landscape day and night, an ordinary person would probably have gone mad.
No, ordinary people don't go crazy, because ordinary people simply can't stay in the mental realm. Even if they could, they would eventually succumb to loneliness and leave.
However, it was all worth it for Goku.
Goku's normal Power Level has been greatly improved, but he has not actually raised his strength to match the dimension.
The reason is simple: even Goku doesn't want to stay any longer; his current strength is more than enough!
The Divine Power...
