Somewhere on Planet Parulphis.
Lin deactivated the Domain Expansion: Kingship Territory and appeared beside Sephie.
At the same time, he released his spiritual perception.
"Who?"
Startled by the sudden appearance of a person beside her, Sephie was on guard, but she relaxed upon seeing it was Lin.
"Is that person dead?"
Not seeing the large bald man, Sephie's eyes flickered slightly.
Lin had disappeared with the other party.
Now, only Lin had appeared.
The result seemed obvious.
After all, the other party had suddenly attacked earlier with the intent to kill both her and Lin, so Lin naturally wouldn't let him off easily.
"Mhm, not even ashes remain."
Lin nodded gently.
Then, he smiled and said, "Let's go, let's find Gid."
Spiritual perception locked onto Gid.
Subsequently, the Space Card materialized, taking Sephie along in a spatial transfer, arriving not far from Gid, who was thousands of kilometers away.
"Why are you guys here?"
Gid was stunned to see Lin and Sephie suddenly appear nearby.
A look of confusion emerged in his eyes.
"It's like this..."
Lin explained the situation regarding Planet Solgaim and Kate.
"So it was them."
After listening to Lin's account, Gid couldn't help but frown slightly, saying:
"Currently, as far as I know, Planet Solgaim is likely the hidden power behind many galactic wars. It is one of the few powerful civilizations in the universe capable of contending with our Planet Deviluke, and they have always opposed us."
"They are particularly skilled in nano-technology."
"Through cutting-edge nano-technology, they utilize the powerful energy their race is born with, transforming it into various combat methods."
"..."
Listening to Gid's explanation, Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
The constitution of the people of Planet Solgaim was special; they could generate and accumulate energy, even comparable to Devilukeans.
However, that was all.
Devilukeans not only possessed immense energy from birth, but their physical body strength was also among the best in the universe.
Their other talents were also excellent.
Combining these factors, they were set as the strongest race in the To Love-Ru worldview.
Gid continued speaking:
"Although I know roughly where Planet Solgaim is, I don't have the ability to attack their doorstep yet."
"Everyone in the clan says I am the strongest genius in the history of the Devilukeans, with the potential to break the racial limit."
"I feel the same way, which is why I left Planet Deviluke to travel and train everywhere, striving to break that limit a bit sooner."
"Once my strength is sufficient, I will definitely wipe out all those Solgaim people who are plotting evil."
Time passed like the wind.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
Lin brought Sephie and Gid back to the location of the spaceship.
Feeling the invisible rejection force of the comprehensive manga universe's time-space order becoming stronger and stronger against him, Lin spoke up:
"I'm leaving soon."
According to that inexplicable feeling, there were about five minutes left.
He was about to return to the original point in time.
Hearing this, Sephie's eyes flickered slightly.
She couldn't help but hold Lin's left hand.
Her right hand interlaced with his left hand, fingers clasping together.
Thinking of the method Lin had mentioned to her earlier, which might have a certain possibility of working, she felt both nervous and expectant.
On the other hand, hearing Lin say he was leaving, Gid's expression was a bit complicated. Finally, he said with a face full of determination:
"Lin, the next time we meet, I will definitely defeat you."
"I hope so."
Lin smiled faintly upon hearing this.
Five minutes passed in a flash.
When only about two minutes remained, Lin opened the Mist Gate, allowing Sephie to enter his exclusive Mirage Realm.
This was his method.
Letting Sephie stay inside the Mirage Realm—perhaps he could take her with him.
Although Lin knew the probability of this method working was almost zero.
But one had to try to know for sure.
What if it worked?
Tick, tick, tick...
It was as if the hands of an invisible clock were turning, tick by tick.
It's here!
Suddenly, Lin's eyes narrowed.
A vast and boundless force of time-space rules wrapped around Lin, and his body began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"!!??"
Watching Lin rapidly turn transparent before his eyes, Gid widened his eyes slightly, a look of astonishment appearing within them.
Why does this look a bit wrong?
At this moment, Lin felt something.
A thought couldn't help but arise in his mind: As expected, it won't work.
Ripples appeared in the space beside him.
Sephie, who had originally been staying in the Mirage Realm, appeared beside Lin.
Before leaving completely, Lin looked at Sephie and said with a smile:
"I will come to find you very soon after I go back. Wait for me."
The moment the word "I" left his lips, Lin's figure disappeared completely.
The disappearance process lasted about five seconds.
Seeing this scene, Gid frowned. "What is this situation?"
He looked at Sephie in confusion.
"..."
Meanwhile, Sephie stared blankly at the spot where Lin had disappeared. Her hands involuntarily gripped her skirt, her gaze flickering faintly.
Trace of tears seemed to well up in the corners of her eyes.
...
Time returned to the present.
In space near Planet Mestea...
The instant Lin returned to the past, Gid was slightly stunned, and his originally somewhat blurry memories became clear.
He finally remembered.
So the existence in his memories who was both a teacher and a friend was Lin.
No wonder that the moment he saw Lin, a thought of wanting to beat him up arose uncontrollably in his heart.
Especially when seeing his smile.
Because in the past, after every spar, he would almost always see Lin's smiling face when he opened his eyes.
Gid hadn't expected that Lin had accidentally returned to the galaxy of the past because of their battle.
No wonder when they met earlier, Lin had said he was fighting him just a short while ago, yet Gid had been full of confusion about it.
So that was what happened.
Although this kind of thing was a bit bizarre, Gid could still accept it.
About seven seconds later.
Lin's figure appeared silently not far from Gid.
Gid immediately looked toward him.
Lin blinked and turned to look at Gid, who was a dozen meters away.
With a thought, he created a sub-space.
A spatial gate appeared.
Lin entered the sub-space first.
Watching the spatial gate before him, memories of being beaten up by Lin time and again in the past seemed to replay before Gid's eyes.
Suddenly, his face felt a bit painful.
The corners of Gid's mouth twitched slightly as he followed Lin into the sub-space.
The sub-space was a grassy field.
Lin sat at a table nearby, holding a cup of black tea in his hand.
Seeing Gid enter, the corners of his mouth lifted as he smiled and said, "Should I say 'long time no see' now?"
"Stellar Burst!" Gid suddenly shouted in a low voice, directly activating his burst mode and transforming into a stream of light as he charged toward Lin.
Lin's eyes narrowed, and he instantly activated Meteoric Burst mode as well.
Two streams of light collided at high speed.
A thunderous explosion rang out like a blasting mine, and the leaking shockwaves set off a storm capable of destroying almost everything.
Separated by decades, the two finally started fighting in the sub-space again, completing the battle they had agreed upon back then.
About five minutes later.
This battle came to an end.
Lin patted the left corner of his clothes with his right hand. Looking at Gid, who now had an extra panda eye on his face, he smiled and said:
"It seems I am slightly superior."
Hearing this, Gid's face turned dark. He hadn't expected that after Lin stayed in the past for seven days and returned, he would have become so much stronger.
Even though they were evenly matched before.
Lin spoke at this moment: "Alright, we'll talk about other things later. Take me to Planet Deviluke first."
Sephie was still there waiting for him.
