After taking this brutal hit, Black’s pupils sharply contracted and his consciousness nearly collapsed. The divine power around his body scattered, while crimson blood drifted through the surrounding space.
Vegeta took the opportunity to pull back his fist, then drove another crushing punch into Black’s stomach. The powerful fist pressure penetrated through Black’s body and severely injured his internal organs.
“Puaaah~~!!!!” Black vomited blood. His God Ki plummeted as he clutched his stomach with both hands, his entire body wracked with unbearable pain.
He could barely maintain his Super Saiyan Rosé form.
But it still wasn’t over. Vegeta had no intention of letting this guy off so easily. He grabbed Black by the hair with one hand and lifted him up with an evil grin.
The fingers of his other hand clenched tightly, divine power gathering over his fist. Under Black’s terrified gaze, the torment continued!
‘Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!……’
The horrifying sound of fist striking flesh echoed through space again and again.
Black’s facial features suffered brutal devastation. Under the repeated heavy bombardment of Vegeta’s fist, his face had already been beaten beyond recognition.
His Super Saiyan Rosé form also collapsed as a result. But it had to be said that this guy’s willpower was quite tenacious. Even after suffering such severe injuries, he still retained consciousness.
“Do you still think I’m your sparring partner now, you fake?! Trash like you isn’t even qualified to serve as my warm-up.” Vegeta wore an evil grin. At this moment, it was as though he had once again become the murderous prince of old.
“Why… is there such a huge difference in strength…? Why…?” Black couldn’t understand why, despite also mastering the transformation of a Super Saiyan God, he had lost so miserably.
No matter how he looked at it, he should have been the stronger one. Yet the Vegeta before him completely overwhelmed him in every aspect. With his current strength, Black was simply no match for him…
“So these are your last words? Then I’ll answer you. It’s because you’re nothing but an inferior fake. As far as I know, you must have stolen that body through some special method, right? Like making a wish with the Dragon Balls! How laughable. You thought you could master that guy’s body, yet you never realized that only a pure idiot like him can freely bring out all of its power. To you, it’s nothing more than something borrowed. How could you possibly understand the true essence of Saiyan power?” Vegeta viciously mocked Black’s incompetence and branded him as trash.
“A borrowed body… so I can’t bring out all of its power…” Black’s expression darkened. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
He had believed that his mastery over this body had already surpassed that of its original owner, but that was not actually the case.
He still had not developed all the power contained within Goku’s body. In fact, he had not even developed half of it.
The power of Super Saiyan Rosé was nothing more than an insignificant fraction of the power contained within this body.
……
The scene shifted.
Atop a mountain peak in the northern mountain range.
The Zamasu of this timeline was leisurely sipping tea, completely unaware that his partner was already on the verge of being beaten to death by Vegeta.
“He’s been gone for so long and still hasn’t returned?” Only then did Zamasu notice that something was wrong. He expanded his senses and began perceiving the situation on Earth.
It would have been better if he hadn’t.
The moment he did, he was badly startled.
Black’s aura had already fallen to an extremely dangerous level, and there was also an overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying God Ki.
“What happened over there?! Damn it!! He’s acting recklessly again!” Zamasu knew he could no longer sit by and do nothing. He had to go assist his other self, otherwise the other him might truly be killed!
……
On the battlefield.
Vegeta looked down at the half-dead Black with the posture of a victor, greatly enjoying the expression of both rage and unwillingness on his face.
If only Kakarot would show an expression like that when Vegeta beat him someday.
If Kakarot were beaten into this state, Vegeta would probably be grinning from ear to ear. But the Black before him was merely an inferior fake, so Vegeta felt little sense of accomplishment.
“Can’t even speak anymore? Then I’ll finish you off right here!” Killing intent surged in Vegeta’s eyes. With a casual swing, he hurled Black away, then brought his hands together and assumed the stance for a finishing move.
“Super Galick Gun~!!!” Accompanied by Vegeta’s roar, a devastating white-purple pillar of energy erupted from his hands, carrying ultimate destructive power capable of annihilating everything as it blasted straight toward Black.
Judging by Black’s current condition, if he were struck by this attack, he would undoubtedly die.
However, at this critical moment, the Zamasu of this timeline arrived through Instant Transmission and took Black with him, narrowly avoiding Vegeta’s Galick Gun.
“What?! This guy really does have an accomplice? And he can use Instant Transmission too!” Vegeta was extremely surprised by Zamasu’s appearance.
His gaze swept back and forth over the green-skinned man. After observing him for quite some time, Vegeta confirmed that he was a new enemy and had no impression of him whatsoever.
That outfit, however, looked very similar to what the Supreme Kais wore.
“Who is he?!” The appearance of Black’s accomplice left Trunks extremely shocked.
He had always been the one fighting Black, yet he had never seen this green-skinned man before.
Where exactly had this guy come from?
And what was his true identity?
“That outfit is exactly the same as a Supreme Kai’s. Could he also be a Supreme Kai? Or… is he the Supreme Kai of another universe?” Goku was unusually sharp for once and recognized Zamasu’s identity as a Supreme Kai.
It actually wasn’t difficult to tell. The man’s clothing made it obvious, and he was also wearing Potara Earrings on his ears, making him very easy to identify.
At this moment, the weakened Black opened his eyes. After confirming that the one who had saved him was Zamasu, he said feebly, “You came…”
“No wonder you were injured this badly. Have these guys from the past timeline chased you here?” Zamasu frowned deeply, then used his healing ability on Black.
‘Buzz~!!!’
Dark green light of life was released from Zamasu’s hand, and immense life energy surged into Black’s body.
With the influx of this life energy, all of Black’s injuries disappeared. His entire body returned to its peak condition, and because of the traits of a Saiyan, after recovering from such severe injuries, his strength increased once again!
