Chapter 309 You've worked hard, No. 18!
Champa took the crystal, turned, and walked towards the spatial rift: "I'll be back as soon as possible. Remember, don't be defeated before I get back!" With that, his figure disappeared into the rift.
After Champa left, the team immediately began to formulate a plan.
Lianfeng used the energy from the balancing core to strengthen the inter-spaceship's defense system and simultaneously initiated the inter-space signal transmission procedure:
"The signal has been sent, and responses from other universes are expected within 24 hours. Before that, we need to return to Universe Seven, integrate all forces, and strengthen the base's defenses with balanced energy."
"And there's Karen of the Void Legion."
Klin suddenly spoke up, "Although he was an enemy before, he's now trapped on the edge of the eleventh universe. Perhaps we can save him? He knows information about the Void Devourer from the mother universe, which might be useful to us."
Lianfeng nodded: "I agree. Karen's research data might help us find a breakthrough in the fight against the Void Devourer."
However, we cannot go there rashly. We can only send small shuttles to provide support; the main force must return to the Seventh Universe Guard Base.
Vegeta volunteered: "I'll go and meet him. My deep blue energy can temporarily resist the erosion of void impurities, and I want to see what arrogant capital this guy who once forced Lianfeng has left now."
"I'll go with you!" Wukong said immediately. "It'll be safer with two people, and we can look after each other if we encounter danger!"
Lianfeng did not object and activated the control of a small shuttle: "The shuttle is equipped with a quantum defense shield that can resist the erosion of void energy. After picking up Karen, return to the seventh universe immediately. Do not linger in battle."
Goku and Vegeta boarded the shuttle and flew towards Universe 11. Meanwhile, Reifu, Android 18, and Krillin piloted the interdimensional spaceship, passing through a spacetime rift and returning to Universe 7.
As the spaceship entered the atmosphere of the seventh universe, Number 18 was particularly eager, as she couldn't wait to see Maren.
Klin held her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Maren is safe at the base. Bulma will take good care of her."
Number 18 nodded, golden-blue energy gently pulsating in her palm—she could feel that the energy of the balancing core had completely merged with her quantum energy, and she was now stronger than ever before.
When the spaceship landed at the base training ground, Bulma was already waiting with Master Roshi, Yamcha, and the others. Maron spotted Android 18 immediately, broke free from Bulma's hand, and ran towards her, shouting, "Mom! You're back! Maron missed you so much!"
Number 18 immediately retracted her giant form, returned to her normal size, squatted down and hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes slightly red: "Maren, Mom missed you too." The golden-blue energy transformed into a soft band of light, gently surrounding the mother and daughter, dispelling the fatigue of the journey.
Klin walked over to them, smiling as he handed them an energy drink: "You've worked hard, Number 18. Have some water and take a break."
Number 18 took the drink, leaned against Klin's chest, and watched Maren chattering away about her funny experiences at the base, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.
This is everything she wants to protect. No matter the cost, she wants her daughter to be able to keep smiling like this forever.
In the base's conference room, everyone sat together, and Lianfeng was using a holographic projection to display information about the Void Devourer.
