"In that case, quickly fulfill your promise and take me out of here!" Goten said flatly.
Zeno and the Grand Priest of this dimension had nothing to do with him anymore. While the Grand Priest had been reckless, Goten was no murderer, so there was no need to pursue them further. The fate of this timeline was now their own concern. As for Goku and Vegeta here, their arrogance was their own problem to deal with. If they couldn't handle things, then that was their destiny.
A few minutes later, Goten and the Grand Priestess left Zeno's Temple.
"Alright, send me back to my own timeline now. I hope you can. Otherwise, I won't forgive you so easily," Goten said, his tone still calm.
But the Grand Priestess could hear the underlying threat in his words. If she failed to return Goten to his timeline, she might truly meet her end. The scene of him effortlessly defeating the Grand Priest still echoed in her mind. If he could take down the Grand Priest so easily, then eliminating her would be no trouble at all. Moreover, after being sealed away for so long, her strength had yet to return to its peak.
"Relax, Mr. Goten. I will definitely send you back to your timeline. But I have one request—would you consider it?" the Grand Priestess suddenly asked.
"What request? Whether I agree or not depends on my mood," Goten replied, turning to her.
He could have refused outright, but his curiosity was piqued. What kind of request could she possibly have?
"Mr. Goten, you've seen what happened today. We went to Zeno's Temple together and taught the Grand Priest a lesson. If you leave now, Zeno and the Grand Priest may turn against me. So I want to ask you—can you take us to your timeline? Don't worry, we won't cause trouble, and we don't have the strength to do so anyway," the Grand Priestess said seriously.
Though they had escaped Zeno and the Grand Priest's control with Goten's help, once he left, they could still be sealed away again. The safest option was to stay by Goten's side. As long as they remained with him, neither Zeno nor the Grand Priest would dare act against them—no matter which timeline they were from.
After hearing this, the Angels behind her were clearly confused. Why would their leader make such a request? The Grand Priestess had always been independent, so why choose to follow Goten now?
But it made sense. Goten possessed overwhelming power. Staying close to him was the best protection against Zeno and the Grand Priest. This was just like the saying among mortals—standing in the shade of a great tree was always safer.
"Oh? You actually want to follow me? That's interesting. You are the Grand Priestess, after all. And from what I can tell, the Angels under your command seem stronger than those under the Grand Priest. You have the ability to travel between timelines, so why follow me?" Goten asked curiously, finally taking a closer look at her.
He had no idea how many years she had lived, but her figure was alluring, and her face was exquisite. Whether in appearance or demeanor, she was undeniably the best he had ever seen. If she stayed with him as an Angel maid or something similar, it wouldn't be bad at all. And aside from the Grand Priestess, there were also Angels like Twist and the others.
"Maybe it's because I believe survival is easier with you, Mr. Goten. Even if we travel to another timeline, there will still be Zeno and the Grand Priest there, making it just as dangerous. To eliminate that danger, the best option is to stay and serve by your side," the Grand Priestess stated firmly.
Goten stroked his chin, thinking for a moment before nodding.
"Well, since you want to follow me, then follow me. Your strength seems considerable—you might be useful in the future."
After a brief hesitation, he agreed. Though the Grand Priestess wasn't as powerful as the Grand Priest, she was far stronger than most other Angels. Having her around meant gaining a capable subordinate.
"Okay. Thank you, Lord Goten. Don't worry, we will prove useful!" the Grand Priestess said quickly, nodding.
At this moment, the arrogance and aloofness she had shown before were completely gone. Perhaps Goten's overwhelming strength had changed her mindset. Even her form of address shifted—from "Mr. Goten" to "Lord Goten." This was likely her way of expressing her submission.
"Alright, open the time-space portal quickly. Let's return!" Goten ordered.
It had been too long since he left his timeline, and he wasn't sure if the Dragon Ball GT timeline still existed. He was growing anxious—his family and friends were there, after all.
"Understood. I'll do it right away," the Grand Priestess replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed her ki. Instantly, her aura surged dramatically, radiating the familiar energy of an Angel. Though she wasn't as strong as the Grand Priest in his True Form, she was far beyond an ordinary Angel.
At the same time, a pair of purple wings extended from her back. As her energy flared, a purple portal materialized before her.
"Lord Goten, let's go quickly! Even with my strength, I can't maintain the portal for long. And the situation on the other side seems bad," she said with a serious expression.
"Got it."
Goten nodded and leaped into the portal. The Grand Priestess and the Angels followed closely behind.
Soon, everyone disappeared from this timeline.
