The mastermind appears!

The enormous Space-Time door opened in front of everyone, and a green figure walked out from inside.

This figure had green skin, sharp pointed ears, and a pair of dragon horns on top of the head.

To everyone's astonishment, the figure was wearing a simple, familiar-looking garment with the character "dragon" embroidered on the chest.

"Un-Uncle Piccolo? He's a Namekian," Gohanks exclaimed.

But, Piccolo shook his head, "No! He's not a Namekian! Namekians couldn't possibly have such a terrifying aura!"

"Then who is he?" Linro wondered.

Lin Chen looked at the "dragon" character on the person's chest and feeling the immense Power of Miracles that seemed as vast as the sun within him, he couldn't help but say, "Dragon God Zalama?!"

"Dragon God Zalama?!"

"Zalama-sama?!"

Gohanks, Frieza, Piccolo, and others frowned.

The unprecedented oppressive feeling emanating from the figure almost caused each of them to start trembling slightly.

This was a terrifying pressure they had never experienced before.

Zalama also heard Lin Chen's muttering. He lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over Lin Chen and the others before falling on Shroom and the others still lying in the crater.

He raised a hand and extended two fingers upward.

Suddenly, the water in the crater where Shroom and others were stuck seemed to come alive, pushing the three of them into the sky and placing them on the side.

Then, a golden light shone on the three of them simultaneously. After a moment, the unconscious trio began to wake up one by one.

Seeing Dragon God Zalama in front of them, Putine and the others immediately exclaimed, "We pay our respects to Zalama-sama!"

"Thank you, Zalama-sama for saving us."

"If it weren't for Mechikabura's sake, I wouldn't waste my energy on you. Now, go back to the Demon Realm," Zalama said coldly.

"What?" The three of them raised their heads in astonishment.

"Zalama-sama, the three Dark Dragon Balls are in their hands. We..."

"There is no use in keeping useless trash around. I will handle things here now. Now, get out of my sight!"

Grim Reaper Shroom, hearing Zalama call them trash, looked furious.

The Grim Reaper scythe appeared in his hand as he seemed to want to attack Zalama.

Seeing this, Zalama smirked and slapped his palm towards Shroom.

A powerful wave of energy swept past, and almost in an instant, Shroom disappeared without even having any chance to scream, as if he had been blown away like dust in the wind, vanishing completely.

His death made Putine and Gravy shiver with fear, and no longer daring to speak nonsense, they immediately opened a Space-Time Door and fled the scene.

After they left, Zalama spoke again.

"To defeat three Demon Gods of the Dark Demon Realm, you humans are indeed not to be underestimated... especially you..."

Zalama's gaze fell on Lin Chen.

"I can sense the power within you. To have this level of power... are you perhaps Lin Chen, the King of Saiyans?"

"Yes," Lin Chen frowned, asking, "You are Dragon God Zalama?"

He anticipated that someone from the Dark Demon Realm might come to support, but he didn't expect it to be Zalama himself?

Hmm...

This is not looking good.

Can he even defeat Zalama? Even Lin Chen himself isn't sure.

Zalama's attack just now was quite decisive. Without any hesitation, he instantly obliterated the extremely troublesome Grim Reaper Shroom.

With such calmness and ease, even Lin Chen couldn't have done it!

And his ruthless decisiveness was also quite frightening.

Lin Chen was on high alert, but Zalama seemed aloof, as if he didn't care about them.

"Exactly!" Zalama nodded, then spoke, "So, Lin Chen, I've heard many things about you. As a human, your power is something even I must take seriously. Killing you would indeed be a pity..."

"So, I can consider sparing you, even making you my right-hand man. Just hand over the Dark Dragon Balls to me!"

Zalama had a lofty expression, as if his words were the ultimate mercy towards Lin Chen.

"The Dark Dragon Balls...what do you need them for?" Lin Chen didn't immediately refuse, but asked instead.

Zalama smiled faintly, "That's not for you to know. I only ask you, will you submit to me, hand over the Dragon Balls, or die?"

Zalama's tone sounded completely non-negotiable, and his pressure was terrifying.

Now, besides Lin Chen, everyone else couldn't even fly, falling to the ground one after another.

Even Frieza was the same. He gritted his teeth, finding it hard to believe that just the pressure alone prevented him from even thinking of resistance.

At the same time, their gazes all fell on Lin Chen. They didn't know what choice Lin Chen would make in front of such a terrifying person.

Submit or fight?

Although they acknowledged Lin Chen's strength, this enemy was truly too frightening!

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen finally made his decision.

"Sorry, I never thought of submitting to anyone."

Although according to Chronoa, Zalama that appeared before them should only be a clone of the true Dragon God, his strength was undoubtedly real.

But Lin Chen didn't want to submit to him.

Because this guy wasn't a good person.

Hearts' dying lament was still fresh in Lin Chen's memory, as if it happened just moments ago.

If Zalama could use Hearts back then, he could certainly use Lin Chen now.

To protect himself, Lin Chen would absolutely not do it.

After Lin Chen firmly refused, Zalama shook his head with a somewhat amused expression.

"To refuse the invitation of a god, Saiyan, you truly are an ignorant monkey."

Inviting Lin Chen wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for Zalama; now, with his grand plan nearly complete, it was the time to recruit.

Originally, Zalama still had Hearts and others at his disposal, but he sacrificed them earlier to absorb energy.

Now, his final target was naturally Lin Chen, who was even stronger than Hearts...

However, since he was rejected, Zalama no longer insisted.

To dare refuse the invitation of a deity, Lin Chen naturally had to pay the price.

Zalama's gaze locked onto Lin Chen.

The next moment, a golden energy wave instantly shot out from Zalama's eyes.
