On the ground.
“There’s something wrong with that green-skinned guy. There’s no way he should’ve been able to block Vegeta’s attacks, yet he came out completely unharmed.” Goku had noticed the abnormality with Zamasu.
There had to be some unknown secret hidden within this green-skinned guy.
Just as Goku decided to step in and assist Vegeta in battle, Trunks moved before him.
“Dad, I’ll help you!” Trunks took the lead, instantly erupting with the aura inside his body and entering Super Saiyan 3.
“Trunks, you…!!” Seeing Trunks rush into the battlefield on his own, the corner of Goku’s mouth twitched.
He had just been about to make his move, only for Trunks to beat him to it. That raised a question: what exactly had he come here to do? And who was he supposed to fight?
Vegeta definitely would not allow him to fight Black. If he forcibly tried to steal the fight, Vegeta might even beat him up along with Black.
As for Trunks, he was a junior, so Goku could hardly openly snatch his opponent away from him either.
In the end, all he could do was sigh.
Forget it. In this future world, he would just treat himself as someone passing through. Vegeta and Trunks were more than enough to handle things.
……
On the battlefield high in the sky.
With Trunks joining the fight, the barely established balance was instantly shattered.
“Trunks, you still have the nerve to appear before me? You sinner who caused the space-time distortion!” Upon seeing Trunks, Black looked as though he had seen his mortal enemy and immediately launched into a verbal attack.
“Space-time distortion was caused by me?” Trunks was stunned upon hearing this.
Beside him, Vegeta’s brow twitched, killing intent surging in his eyes.
At the very instant Black was about to speak again, Vegeta unleashed his full strength, transformed into a streak of aurora, rushed directly in front of Black, and threw a powerful punch.
‘BANG~~!!!’
A heart-stopping sound of fist striking flesh exploded through the air.
Before Black could even get the words out, he plummeted toward the ground like a meteor.
“Trunks, there’s no need to waste words on them. You deal with this green-skinned guy. There’s something strange about him, so this is a good chance for you to see what’s going on.” Vegeta turned to Trunks and instructed him.
“Yes, Dad!” Trunks replied, his sharp eyes locking onto Zamasu.
Super Saiyan 3 erupted at full power. Powerful energy circulated around his body as his golden aura shot straight into the sky.
“Insolent mortal! Your sins are beyond counting!” Anger rose in Zamasu’s heart. He raised the purple blade of divine power in his hand and slashed toward Vegeta first.
He had to provide cover for his other self.
But at that exact instant, Trunks appeared in front of Zamasu with lightning speed and sent him flying away with a fully charged kick.
“Your opponent is me,” Trunks shouted furiously.
“Hmph! You disrupted the order of space and time and still feel no remorse. Trunks, even your death would not be enough to atone for the wrongs you’ve committed!” Zamasu roared angrily.
Immediately afterward, the two erupted with aura at the same time. One golden and one purple streak of aurora charged toward each other and collided.
The fierce battle between Trunks and Zamasu had begun.
From the very start, the battle was completely one-sided. In terms of power level, Trunks’s Super Saiyan 3 far surpassed Zamasu.
“Now it’s your turn. I refuse to believe there’s anyone else who can come save you!” Vegeta’s sharp eyes locked onto Black, killing intent surging within them. He descended from the sky and landed before Black.
His gaze, looking down upon everything with contempt, contained endless fury.
That fury seemed as though it would burn Black to ashes.
But at this moment, after sensing the rage in Vegeta’s eyes, Black not only showed no fear, but instead burst out laughing, as though he had finally understood something.
Vegeta was puzzled by Black’s sudden wild laughter.
What is it with this guy? Had he beaten him stupid?
“I understand now. The reason you’re so strong is anger, isn’t it? Anger because the world your son lived in was destroyed. Anger born when your wife was killed. With anger empowering you, you obtained incomparable strength. The way mortals acquire power really is direct and terrifying. Even I, a god, never imagined it.” At this moment, Black suddenly realized why Vegeta’s strength far surpassed his own.
Vegeta’s expression did not change upon hearing those words. His face remained utterly calm.
In his eyes, Black was already a dead man.
“If we’re talking about anger, then my anger is stronger than anyone’s! The anger of a god being surpassed by humans! The anger of being utterly disappointed in this world! The anger at those foolish gods for doing nothing!!” Black raised the Ki blade on his right hand and aimed it at the center of his left palm before stabbing downward.
But strangely, not only did the Ki blade fail to pierce Black’s palm, it was instead reshaped by his distorted God Ki.
“All the gods in this world have already died by my hand. Now, this chaotic world needs a brand-new order. You uncivilized Saiyans are my final obstacle. How could you possibly imagine the depths of my anger?! Aaaaaahhh~~!!!!” Black let out a violent roar.
He quickly pulled out his right hand, but when he withdrew it, the weapon in his hand had changed.
It was no longer a divine blade formed from God Ki, but an evil scythe of death radiating a chilling, sinister aura.
After noticing the change in Black, Vegeta paid it no mind. Judging through Ki Sense, Black’s God Ki had not changed much. Vegeta still held the upper hand.
“Feel the wrath of a god!” Black swung the Sickle of Sorrow and unleashed an overwhelmingly powerful cutting slash.
Seeing this, Vegeta treated it with disdain. He merely shifted his body slightly and avoided Black’s slash.
“I thought it was going to be some impressive move. It’s pitifully slow. There’s no way it could ever hit me…” Vegeta had only just finished speaking when a tremendous boom came from the sky.
An evil light enveloped the sky.
Seeing this, Vegeta hurriedly turned his head. What he saw next was a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.
An evil rift hung suspended in the sky.
The scene looked exactly as though the barrier of the world itself had been sliced open.
Black’s slash had directly cut through the spacetime barrier of this world!
“What is that place?!” Vegeta said in astonishment.
“I don’t know what that place is either. It could be the past, or it could be the future. More likely, it’s a world created from the bottomless anger within my heart. Heh heh heh heh…” Black laughed almost abnormally.
In his eyes, now that he had mastered the power of anger, he was no longer someone Vegeta could contend with.
“Tch~! Don’t you think a little too highly of yourself?!” Vegeta snorted in displeasure, continuing to scrutinize Black arrogantly.
So what if the form of his weapon had changed?
So what if he had cut through space?!
Vegeta could do that too!
In his eyes, Black was still nothing more than an ant.
