As peace settled over Earth and its protectors, whispers of a new threat began to surface. The distortions in time and space had not fully healed. Hit, the legendary assassin from Universe 6, had felt a strange energy during his time in the Celestial Realm.

"The flow of time has been disturbed," Hit told Goku and Vegeta during one of their sparring sessions. "Something, or someone, is manipulating it. I can feel the disruptions... and they're growing stronger."

Kei and Ignis reappeared, their once calm expressions now tinged with concern. "Aeon wasn't the only force in the multiverse capable of manipulating time," Kei explained. "There are others—beings even older than Aeon, whose power over time and reality is far more dangerous."

Goku, eager for another challenge, clenched his fists, eyes blazing with determination. "Looks like it's time for another adventure!"

Vegeta smirked. "Tch. Just don't slow me down, Kakarot."
