Under Future Bulma's overwhelming pressure, King Gomah's composure completely shattered. He was no longer the ruler of the battlefield.
"How?! How can you be this strong?! Magic Third Eye! Power! I need more power!!"
Watching from the shadows, the mysterious figure's eyes flashed with disdain. A waste of space was a waste of space. Still, if you want power, I'll give it to you. But whether you can survive it... that's out of my hands.
"Hehehehe..."
In Conton City, Toki-O (the Time King) watched the scene through a rift and frowned. He turned to Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time.
"Chronoa, go to the Demon Realm. Bring that youngster back to Conton City. His current power is enough to qualify him for the position of God of Destruction of Time!"
Chronoa nodded and vanished instantly.
Toki-O stared toward the Demon Realm and muttered, "Old man, you must be itching for a fight. To think you'd still dare to pull these little tricks. It seems you really want a round with me."
Deep in the Demon Realm, the mysterious figure suddenly shuddered. "Uh oh! How did I forget that crazy woman? She's not coming here, is she? No way! I'm out of here!"
He didn't care about the "entertainment" anymore. He turned to flee.
"Oh? And where do you think you're going, Lord Grand Demon King? Why don't you stay and help me stretch my legs?"
The speaker was Toki-O, appearing directly in his path. The mysterious figure was none other than the Original Grand Demon King, the true master of the Demon Realm.
The Original Grand Demon King gave Toki-O a sheepish look. "Time King... I was just looking for a bit of fun. Surely it's not worth a personal visit from you..."
"Hmph. Cut the crap! Pulling stunts right under my nose? You've grown bold. Didn't you know that kid is under my protection?"
The Original Grand Demon King felt a wave of injustice. I didn't even touch the kid! I was just sending a tiny bit of power through the Third Eye! Was that really worth all this?
Looking at the Demon King's aggrieved face, Toki-O added coldly, "That woman is under my protection too."
The Original Grand Demon King's face fell. So you're saying I'm definitely getting a beating today, huh?
He wanted to cry. Why did he have to be so nosy? Why did he have to look for fun? Now, he was the entertainment.
On the battlefield, Turles blinked as Chronoa suddenly appeared beside him. "Chronoa? What are you doing here?"
Chronoa gave Turles a flat look. "Providing backup, obviously. Why do you keep running off to the Demon Realm? If it wasn't for the Time King, you might not have made it back!"
Turles' eyes widened. "Make it back? Because of Gomah? Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I could suppress this 'King' with one hand."
Chronoa sighed as if reading his mind. "Not him. I'm talking about the creator of that Third Eye—the true master of the Demon Realm, the Original Grand Demon King."
"What?!"
Turles felt a cold chill run down his spine. Why would someone like that notice them? That was a King-tier entity the System had warned him about.
"Don't worry, the Time King already gave him a warning. I'm here to tell you that the Time King wants to see you. Once you finish up here, come with me to Conton City."
Turles nodded. He knew when to fold. If a being of that caliber summoned him, he was going.
Goku and the others looked at the pink-haired deity with curiosity. Goku nudged Shin. "Lord Supreme Kai, is she one of your people too? Do you know her?"
Shin studied Chronoa carefully. "I believe she is the Supreme Kai of Time. I never expected Turles to know someone of her status. I've only ever heard of her from the Ancestor's stories."
"She is a great deity who governs the stability of countless timelines!"
Meanwhile, Future Bulma's battle with Gomah reached its climax. After knocking him back again, she looked at him with pure contempt.
"Just as I thought. Without that eye, you're nothing but trash."
"Damned woman! I'll kill you!" Gomah screamed. "Power... the power is still growing!!"
"HAAAAAAA!!"
As Gomah's power surged higher, his attacks became erratic and clumsy. Future Bulma realized something was wrong.
Is he going berserk because the power is too much for his body?
She glanced at the jewel on his forehead. If I take that eye, this fight is over.
Future Bulma lunged, her hand reaching for the Third Eye. The jewel seemed to have a mind of its own, forcing Gomah to throw a wild punch to intercept her.
Zip!
Bulma flickered out of existence and reappeared directly above Gomah's head. Her fingers clamped onto the jewel.
"Hmph! You're just an object. I don't care if you have a shred of consciousness or not!"
"HAAA! GET OFF!!"
Bulma's veins bulged as she exerted her full strength. She wrenched the Third Eye out of Gomah's forehead. Even as the relic vibrated and resisted, it was useless against her raw power. It was just a tool.
The moment the Third Eye was removed, Gomah's body disintegrated into ash. The group watched in stunned silence. He had paid the ultimate price for wielding power he couldn't control.
"Gomah... is dead?" Panzy whispered. One moment he was an all-powerful King, the next he was gone.
Arinsu swallowed hard. She looked at the Third Eye in Bulma's hand with a mix of fear and longing. It was the symbol of the Demon Realm's throne, a source of infinite power. But she quickly dismissed the thought. She wasn't suicidal. She wasn't about to challenge the woman who just ended Gomah.
Future Bulma landed and casually tossed the Third Eye to Turles. "Interesting trinket. Useless to us, though. Oh, and hello, Supreme Kai of Time. What brings you here?"
Chronoa smiled. "I'm here to take you all to the Time Realm. Now that the 'Grand Demon King' is out of the way, Turles, you and the ladies are coming with me."
Turles nodded. "Understood. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Lord Supreme Kai... we'll be taking our leave now."
Before Goku could even get a word out, Turles, Bulma, and Future Bulma vanished along with the Supreme Kai of Time.
In the Endless Void, a King-tier scuffle had just concluded. Toki-O looked down at the bruised and battered Original Grand Demon King.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time. If you mess with my people again... don't blame me for being truly ruthless!"
