MTLNOVEL Chapter 185: Everyone is Invited!
"What's going on? Who are those guys?"
At that moment, OG Goku and OG Vegeta from the other side immediately noticed Goten and the newcomers. A look of surprise flashed across their faces.
Just a few hours ago, Black Goku had appeared out of nowhere and nearly killed them all. If OG Goku hadn't broken through his limits in time and reached the realm of Super Saiyan White Omni God, the entire Earth would have been destroyed.
And now, after barely surviving that battle, another group of powerful beings had arrived.
The sudden appearance of Black Goku had already left them on edge. Now, seeing another set of unfamiliar warriors, they couldn't help but feel wary.
"Dad, I can sense an immense power from their bodies. These guys are definitely strong... but I don't feel any evil aura from them!"
OG Gohan, standing beside OG Goku, immediately voiced his observation. If they were enemies, their bodies would surely be radiating dark, malevolent energy. But from these newcomers, he felt nothing of the sort.
"You're right. I don't sense any evil energy either. They seem different from Black Goku. Maybe they come from another timeline."
OG Piccolo chimed in, his eyes locked onto the new arrivals.
The other figures standing opposite them exuded unmistakable evil ki, but these newcomers—though undeniably powerful—were free of any such aura.
"Ah! I feel it too!"
OG Goku nodded, then instantly teleported in front of Goten and the others. His expression was calm, but his eyes held a trace of caution.
"Are you from another timeline?"
"Yes."
"Earlier, I sensed the aura of those Evil Demon Gods on the other side, so I followed the energy trail and arrived here. You don't have to worry—we are not with them."
Noticing OG Goku's tension, Goten quickly reassured him.
He could feel the immense power radiating from this version of Goku—stronger than the two other Gokus he had met.
It seemed that this timeline's Goku had faced even more powerful enemies, which had pushed him to grow to such an extent.
"Hmm... I didn't sense any evil aura from you earlier. In that case, it looks like we'll be fighting together."
OG Goku smiled, feeling relieved.
To be honest, the enemies on the other side were terrifyingly strong. Each of them carried an overwhelming level of dark ki.
Even with their combined strength, taking them down wouldn't be easy. Especially after the exhausting battle with Black Goku, they had already used up a significant amount of energy.
Although OG Goku had managed to break through to Super Saiyan White Omni God, he had expended a huge amount of power treating OG Vegeta's injuries. Fighting another battle so soon would be even more difficult.
At the same time, he sensed that the warriors in front of him—though unfamiliar—were immensely powerful.
"Wait… are you Goten?"
OG Goku suddenly turned to Goten, his expression filled with curiosity and doubt. His instincts told him that the young man in front of him was Goten. But the sheer strength radiating from him made it hard to believe.
In this timeline, Goten was the weakest Saiyan fighter.
"Yes, I'm Goten from another timeline."
Goten answered without hesitation.
"Wow, haha! Unbelievable!"
"I never expected Goten from another timeline to be this strong! I can feel it—your power is even greater than mine!"
OG Goku was stunned.
The most unsettling thing about people… was comparison. The Goten from his own timeline was nowhere near this level. The difference was simply too extreme. That was why he had hesitated to believe it was really Goten.
"Ha ha..."
Goten could only respond with an awkward smile. If he had remained the original Goten, reaching this level would have been impossible. But that wasn't something he could explain to them.
"Hmph! The Kakarot of this timeline seems so much stronger..."
"But my counterpart here… is so much weaker. You've got to be kidding me! How the hell did Kakarot surpass him by that much?!"
Vegeta scowled as he glanced at Goku, then at his other self.
In his own timeline, Goku had always been ahead of him—but he had never been far behind. The gap between them had never been this large.
But the Vegeta of this timeline seemed far weaker than Goku. Even though it wasn't technically him, it still frustrated him.
Meanwhile…
Zalama narrowed his eyes as he observed Goten and the others. Beside him, Demigra looked equally serious.
"Lord Zalama, I didn't expect this… We were planning to go after these guys, but they actually came to us first!"
"If they join forces, our chances of winning won't be great."
Demigra's voice carried a hint of concern. Not long ago, they had detected several divine energy sources in this timeline. The plan was to absorb their power before seeking out more prey.
But unexpectedly, their targets had come to them instead. Now, if all these warriors joined forces, things would become much trickier. After all, every single one of them possessed incredible strength.
And among them were a few warriors whose divine aura he couldn't even detect properly.
But Zalama… He simply snorted in disdain.
"There's nothing to worry about. Their arrival only means more energy for me to absorb."
Zalama's voice was filled with confidence.
His expression remained completely composed. To him, these warriors were nothing more than fuel to further increase his power.
It didn't matter how many came. The result would be the same. If anything, he welcomed it. It would be even better if Zeno and the Grand Priest showed up as well. That way, he could deal with everything all at once.
And just as that thought crossed his mind—
CRACK!
A massive purple rift suddenly tore open in the sky. An overwhelming divine energy surged from within. Countless figures emerged from the crack, their presence shaking the very fabric of reality.
Standing at the front… were Zeno and the Grand Priest.
To their left and right… Were all the Angels and Gods of Destruction from across the universes.
