Time rewound slightly.
Just as the battle between Levos and Ultimate Baby had begun, Dabura was idly waiting for Levos to return, while secretly planning how to use Levos to return to the Dark Demon Realm and reclaim his throne.
Suddenly, two figures appeared beside him without any warning.
One was a tall woman with silver hair and blue skin, wearing a red-and-black bodysuit.
The other was a muscular man with red skin covered in strange patterns.
These two were none other than Towa, and the artificial warrior she created, Mira.
"Brother, long time no see," Towa said coldly, her voice devoid of emotion.
Dabura stiffened and slowly turned around, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.
"Towa… why are you here?"
"Warp reported your movements to me. He said you brought someone through his passage," Towa said with a faint smile as she looked around. "Where is your companion?"
"Companion?" Cold sweat slid down Dabura's forehead as he hurriedly waved his hand. "What companion? That guy was just a nameless nobody. I already got rid of him."
"Liar!" Mira shouted coldly. "You were planning to betray the Dark Demon Realm and bring an outsider into our world, weren't you?"
"Betray?" Dabura almost laughed in anger. "I am the King of the Dark Demon Realm!"
"Not anymore," Mira sneered. "A new Demon Realm King has already been born. Your current identity is that of a rebel."
"A rebel? The one sitting on the throne is the real traitor! When I go back, I will personally twist his head off!"
"Brother, the current Demon Realm King is Lord Mechikabura."
"Me… Mechikabura?!" Dabura said in disbelief. "That's impossible!"
Mechikabura, the Dark King of the Demon Realm, had once ruled the entire Demon Realm.
But millions of years ago, he had been sealed away in the Crack of Time by the Supreme Kai of Time.
"There is nothing impossible about it. Lord Mechikabura returned not long ago, and the Dark Demon Realm has welcomed its true master once again."
"No! Even Lord Mechikabura has no right to take the throne that belongs to me!"
"Dabura, you were nothing more than a puppet controlled by Babidi, and you couldn't even keep your throne. What makes you think you can stop Lord Mechikabura?" Mira looked at Dabura with complete contempt.
"Babidi is dead. No one will ever control me again."
"So what? Your reputation has already become a joke, and your strength is pitifully weak."
Dabura laughed in anger.
"One day, I will take back everything that belongs to me and prove to everyone that I am the true ruler of the Dark Demon Realm!"
"Brother, face reality. The times have changed," Towa said, staring at him with a faint smile. "Ever since Father's Demon Third Eye was stolen, both he and you lost the foundation of your rule."
"Hmph! I will find it."
Mira stepped closer.
"You won't get the chance. Lord Mechikabura is also very interested in the Demon Third Eye."
Dabura clenched his fists.
"Then we'll see who finds it first."
"Brother, you still don't understand your situation," Towa said directly. "Back then, you were the one who ordered someone to steal Father's Demon Third Eye, weren't you?"
Dabura froze instantly.
"I… why would I do such a thing?"
"You don't have to admit it. Lord Mechikabura wants to ask you where it is."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Dabura denied immediately.
"Brother, you know better than anyone where it is hidden. If you cooperate, once we find it, I can plead with Lord Mechikabura to let you regain a place in the Dark Demon Realm."
A place?
Dabura sneered inwardly.
He knew very well that once the Demon Third Eye was found, he would immediately lose all value and end up worse than he was now.
He looked into Towa's eyes and softened his tone.
"Towa, dear sister. If you help me take back the throne, everything in the Dark Demon Realm can be shared with you, including the power of the Demon Third Eye."
"Foolish brother, have you still not accepted reality? Lord Mechikabura is not someone you can challenge."
"In that case, there's nothing left to talk about."
The outcome was not unexpected, but Dabura still felt a hint of disappointment. His sister had not chosen to stand on his side.
Now, his only hope was Levos.
Only with that man's power would he have any chance of overthrowing Mechikabura.
However, as if she could read his thoughts, Towa spoke again slowly.
"Your hope wouldn't happen to be that man called Levos, would it?"
Dabura's body froze instantly.
Towa smiled slightly.
"Ever since Lord Mechikabura escaped his seal, I have been watching him."
"Or rather, from that moment on, the entire Earth has been under strict surveillance by the Dark Demon Realm."
"He is indeed a very interesting person. Absorbing large numbers of Dark Humans was one thing, but he even used them to create fighters like Puar in the Exhibition Match, and even made contact with the Supreme Kai of Time."
"With his help, Earth's warriors have grown tremendously, and he even turned my capable subordinate Bardock to his side…"
The more Dabura listened, the more shocked he became. Even though he hadn't participated in those events, he had been on Earth and knew very well about those battles.
What exactly was Towa planning?
"A person like that… I would very much like to recruit him as my subordinate," Towa continued. "Unfortunately…"
"What Lord Mechikabura is planning is a grand blueprint capable of overturning the order of all time and space. In his plan, Levos and the Supreme Kai of Time are targets that must be eliminated. They have no future."
A chill spread through Dabura's body.
He had thought he possessed a trump card for a comeback, but Levos' every move had already been under the enemy's surveillance.
The hope he believed would help him reclaim the throne had already been part of someone else's plan.
"Hmph! Who knows whether what you say is true or not. In any case, my business is none of your concern," Dabura replied coldly.
"Is that so?"
Mira suddenly appeared behind Dabura and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Dabura found himself unable to move at all.
"That's not up to you. We came here specifically to take you back."
A twisted space-time rift opened before them.
Without hesitation, Mira dragged Dabura into the rift.
The rift closed, and the three disappeared, leaving behind only a faint trace of Demon Realm energy, which quickly dissipated into space.
…
Meanwhile, the Universe Cube was moving steadily through the chaotic region.
"So beautiful!" Caulifla pressed against the side of the cube, her eyes sparkling with amazement.
Kale nervously clutched her sleeve, feeling slightly afraid of the unknown scenery around them.
Levos himself stared without blinking. Crossing a universe barrier was a completely new experience for him.
Champa, on the other hand, had absolutely no interest in the scenery. He was busy thinking about what he would eat once he arrived on Earth.
"First ramen, then takoyaki, then pudding, strawberry cake…"
The traversal did not take long.
When the starry sky appeared at the end of the tunnel, Levos knew they were about to arrive in Universe 7.
The Universe Cube suddenly shook and burst through the barrier.
The scenery opened up instantly, and the familiar starry sky appeared again.
Levos did not stop for even a moment. He placed one hand on the transparent wall and activated Instant Transmission.
Buzz
Space twisted, stars shifted.
When their vision became clear again, they had already arrived at the destination of this journey.
