Chapter 189: The Leftover Problems!
Trunks turned his head, looking at the time machine parked not far away. The excitement from defeating the enemy suddenly faded, and his mood began to drop.
His spirits fell further as he remembered that he only had fuel for a one-way trip—there was no fuel left for the return journey. This realization dampened his mood even more.
"The time machine is out of fuel…"
Mu Chuan patted Trunks on the shoulder.
"Don't dwell on it too much. Although the time machine is out of fuel, you should know what to do."
"Whoever invented the time machine can find a way to get more fuel for it. Though it might take some time, there's a chance it could work out."
Mu Chuan knew it would take quite a while for Bulma to fully grow up, but since there had already been contact, there was a real possibility that success wasn't far off.
Moreover, Earth's scientists and doctors weren't just limited to one or two people. With the introduction of alien technology, Earth had already entered a period of rapid development.
Both martial arts and technology were advancing at breakneck speed!
As long as the right path was found, completing such a grand project wasn't impossible.
Trunks, hearing this, immediately showed a look of surprise, but his expression quickly stiffened.
"H-how does he seem to know everything?"
But just as Trunks was about to ask, Mu Chuan had already moved over to stand beside Beerus, leaving Trunks standing there, completely confused.
Shaking his head to clear his uncertain thoughts, Trunks turned to look at the young Bulma, who hadn't fully grown up yet.
His feelings were complicated...
But he knew that if he wanted to change the future, the only way was to ride the time machine again. For now, only his mother could create both the time machine and its fuel.
However…
Given the current situation, who knows how long that would take?
But at least there was hope.
"You sure finished that fight quickly. I thought you'd want to train a bit more or maybe raise your combat power a little."
When Beerus saw Mu Chuan approach, he casually remarked.
"Although I wanted to train a bit more—it's not often you get to fight without holding back—this guy was also quite dangerous. If he escaped, things would've gotten messy."
"But do you realize that by killing him, you might have made things just as messy? After all, he's from the future…"
Beerus spoke with a flat expression, as though asking a question, while Whis stood by with a slight smile, saying nothing.
Mu Chuan knew Beerus's personality better than Beerus did himself. Though Beerus looked stern, he wasn't actually angry—he just wanted to take the chance to speak his mind.
"When he came to this timeline, things had already gotten chaotic. If we didn't deal with him quickly, it would've only gotten worse."
"If he's from the future, isn't it possible that he has an identity in this timeline as well? I think it's worth investigating."
"If we can figure out his identity in advance, then the problem won't escalate into something unmanageable."
Mu Chuan spoke frankly. Of course, he wasn't going to directly reveal Zamasu's identity, but he knew that with the strength of Beerus and the others, they must have already found some clues.
Judging by the evidence, they would be able to trace his identity. It just depended on whether or not they wanted to pursue it.
At this moment, Whis spoke: "Indeed, that guy was wearing a Time Ring, which means he must be connected to the Supreme Kai."
"Although I don't know how he obtained the Time Ring, it should be traceable to some extent. Moreover, I've memorized his aura completely. If I encounter a similar one, I'll definitely uncover his identity."
Whis treated this matter with the utmost seriousness because too many factors were involved. He couldn't afford to be careless.
At that moment, Champa suddenly interjected.
"You don't need to handle this matter. I'll personally take care of it, and I've also memorized the aura of that wanderer."
"Since he ruined my plans and caused me so much trouble, he better hope I don't find him. If I do, I'll make sure he knows what true regret feels like."
Even though Champa had just vented his anger, the thought of the potential consequences still gave him a headache. That guy had indeed been dealt with, but the problem remained severe—how was he able to travel through time?
Furthermore, since the intruder came from the future and had now died in the Sixth Universe, any unforeseen trouble could potentially bring disaster to the entire Sixth Universe. Just thinking about it gave Champa goosebumps.
Besides...
He caught sight of the yellow Time Machine in the distance, which only added to his frustration.
"Honestly, none of them are dependable. I really don't understand what these people are thinking. Do they seriously believe time can be toyed with at will?"
"There's always a steep price to pay!"
Even beings of their caliber dared not interfere with time recklessly. Angels, despite their immense strength, were cautious about manipulating time. At most, Whis could only rewind it by three minutes, showing just how challenging it was to meddle with time.
Beerus, however, was not reassured by Champa taking the matter into his own hands. He knew his twin brother well—Champa was anything but meticulous and often acted carelessly.
"Are you sure you can handle this?"
"Don't end up making things worse. That individual managed to obtain the Supreme Kai's Time Ring, which means he not only had ties with the Supreme Kai but likely holds a specific status."
"Don't act recklessly, or the consequences will be severe."
Beerus had to remind him, concerned that Champa's actions might lead to bigger problems.
But Champa paid no heed. Now that he had a target in mind, his interest in the current martial arts tournament waned. He turned around without hesitation.
"I'll leave these six Dragon Balls with you as compensation. Let's have a proper match next time."
Watching Champa's departing figure, Mu Chuan hesitated several times, wanting to stop him. After all, in his opinion, Champa was not someone capable of handling serious matters. He often dropped the ball at critical moments.
If something went wrong this time, the outcome could be unimaginable. Mu Chuan couldn't shake the ominous feeling creeping over him.
However, when he remembered that Vados was accompanying Champa, Mu Chuan felt a little more reassured. At least there was someone relatively reliable by his side.
Then, his expression shifted to one of surprise and delight.
The Dragon Balls… They were given to them just like that!
This… was truly unexpected!
