Zamasu, standing opposite Trunks, now wore an expression of wild delight.
The appearance of the Masked Goku Black was indeed unexpected.
But it also proved that his selves from other timelines shared their goal, and were even stronger.
“Wonderful! Our Zero Mortals Plan will be unstoppable! His arrival is enough to change everything. In the end, vermin like mortals are destined to be wiped out!” Zamasu laughed maniacally, his laughter grating and infuriating.
The next second, Trunks could endure no more. He charged at Zamasu again, rushing before him and slamming a furious fist into his face.
“BAM!!”
A loud sound rang out.
That overwhelming force swept through Zamasu’s entire body, sending him flying in an instant.
Though he suffered tremendous pain, it was exceedingly brief.
In just a few seconds, Zamasu stood back up as if nothing had happened.
“Damn it! What the hell is going on?!” Trunks demanded furiously, seeing that Zamasu was completely unharmed.
“It’s useless. No matter what attacks you unleash, you cannot inflict any damage on me. I am immortal, Trunks.” Zamasu casually brushed the dust off his clothes and sneered.
“What?! Immortal?!” Trunks exclaimed in shock.
He had previously suspected that Zamasu’s body might possess some secret of immortality. Now that his suspicion had been confirmed, Trunks grew even more wary.
Fortunately, he had not recklessly used Super Saiyan 3 to bombard Zamasu with attacks. Otherwise, he would probably have already lost from exhausting his energy.
With the Masked Goku Black’s appearance on the other battlefield, their situation had become dire.
…
On the other battlefield.
Vegeta and the Masked Goku Black faced off.
Super Saiyan Blue Evolved vs Super Saiyan Rosé 2.
Both transformations had been achieved by surpassing their own limits.
One shone brilliantly, like a true god descending to bring this world its last hope.
The other was sinister and dark, like an evil god emerging to extinguish the final glimmer of hope.
[His transformation is not that different from mine, but his mastery of it far surpasses my mastery of Super Saiyan Blue Evolved. He won’t be easy to deal with,] Vegeta thought, his heart heavy.
Yet that was precisely what made him even more excited. This battle was the perfect opportunity to hone himself.
Super Saiyan Rosé 2 was powerful, but his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved was not necessarily inferior. Fighting the Masked Goku Black would allow him to push his current transformation further, raising his strength in an extremely short time.
He even intended to use this opportunity to reach the higher level of Super Saiyan Blue 3.
“Heh heh heh… If you’re afraid, you can step aside right now and let Goku fight. After all, you’ve spent your entire life beneath Goku, Vegeta. You’re merely an appetizer. You could never be a match for me,” the Masked Goku Black taunted.
At those words, veins bulged on Vegeta’s forehead. Rage surged within him, and the vast reservoir of God Ki in his body erupted, shooting skyward like a torrent and illuminating the boundless darkness.
But this was exactly what the Masked Goku Black wanted.
Traversing history and crossing time and space, he had visited countless alternate timelines.
He had defeated dozens of Gokus and Vegetas of varying power levels, mastering this body to the utmost and even completely surpassing its original owner.
He could not have been more familiar with Goku and Vegeta’s fighting styles and personalities.
“You say I’m no match for you? Then let me test your strength!!” Killing intent flashed in Vegeta’s eyes. Unleashing the full power of Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, he charged straight at the Masked Goku Black with all his might, throwing a ferocious punch infused with boundless God Ki and towering rage.
“BAM!!!”
The power of that punch was terrifying enough to make space itself tremble.
Yet to the Masked Goku Black, an attack of this level was beneath notice.
With a mere raise of his hand, he effortlessly neutralized all its force.
“What’s wrong? Is this all the strength you have? How disappointing, Vegeta.” A sinister gleam flickered in the Masked Goku Black’s eyes as he sneered.
Provoked once more, Vegeta’s anger surged. His fury drove his God Ki to even greater heights. He swiftly pulled back his fist, then unleashed an unending barrage of devastating attacks upon the Masked Goku Black like pouring rain.
The devastating onslaught was like a storm of divine power. Had it been the Black who had fought Vegeta earlier, he would likely have been torn to pieces in an instant.
But to the Masked Goku Black now, attacks of this level were not even enough to tickle him.
His figure moved through the surrounding space like a phantom, effortlessly evading all of Vegeta’s attacks. It was as though he stood at the very pinnacle of this battle, toying with Vegeta in the palm of his hand.
As Vegeta continued attacking, he also noticed that something was wrong.
Every time he attacked, the Masked Goku Black seemed to anticipate it, easily neutralizing his offensive. It was as though this man had fought him countless times and could not have been more familiar with his techniques.
[Has this b*stard already seen through all my attack patterns? Impossible!!] Vegeta was inwardly shaken, unable to believe it.
And in that very instant, he left a fatal opening.
The Masked Goku Black would not let such a perfect opportunity slip by.
“BAM!!” A powerful punch shot out, instantly sending Vegeta flying. Then he flared his aura again, becoming a streak of sinister rose-coloured light as he charged straight after Vegeta.
Vegeta performed a backflip as he flew backward and landed steadily. Before he could catch his breath, the Masked Goku Black was already upon him.
[Damn it!!!] Vegeta immediately sensed trouble. He crossed his arms over his vulnerable areas, forming an absolute defense.
Seizing the opportunity, the Masked Goku Black unleashed a series of powerful attacks.
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! …” Ferocious punches and kicks rained down relentlessly on Vegeta’s body.
Sinister, terrifying God Ki contaminated Vegeta’s deep-blue God Ki, penetrating it to dismantle his defenses and inflict damage deeper within.
Powerful impacts of God Ki pierced Vegeta’s body again and again, churning his blood and Ki and turning his face ashen.
Fortunately, his foundation was solid and his body strong enough that the Masked Goku Black’s relentless, powerful attacks did not affect him too greatly.
“Let’s see how long you can keep defending.” A sinister gleam appeared in the Masked Goku Black’s eyes. His right hand became a sharp, rose-coloured divine blade, which he brought down toward the point between Vegeta’s brows.
