Future timeline.
In a certain parallel world.
Everywhere here lay ruins and rubble, it was a barren wasteland.
The once-prosperous city had now become nothing but debris, with collapsed buildings on both sides of the street, and shards of glass scattered across the ground. The air reeked of decay, making it nauseating to the senses. The sky was painted in a muddled, oppressive black, creating a suffocatingly heavy atmosphere.
And yet, despite the desolation, a trace of life still lingered here. Some wild cats, stray dogs, and other creatures survived.
But these animals could only live by feeding on human corpses.
In this timeline, there were no humans left. Zamasu and Black Goku's "Zero Mortals Plan" had already been perfectly carried out in this world.
Everything here radiated bleakness.
Suddenly, a rift in space-time tore open in the sky, shattering the silence.
Black Goku was spat out of it as though he were nothing more than phlegm. He clenched his teeth, glaring hatefully at the rapidly disappearing rift above, his eyes brimming with unwillingness.
Although he had grown stronger now, he still could not break through the rules of time and space.
"Damn it! It ended the same way as last time!"
He smashed his fist against a nearby ruined skyscraper, and the already fragile building instantly crumbled into scorched dust. Though his power had risen once again, Black Goku had nowhere to unleash it, leaving him stifled with frustration.
Just then, another time-space rift appeared in the sky.
A familiar voice came from within.
"My other self! Look what I've brought you!"
Though Zamasu's figure was not yet visible, his voice came first. Black Goku looked up, only to see Zamasu also being spat out of the rift, just like him. But that wasn't all. Four other figures accompanied Zamasu.
Trunks, Bulla, Gohan, and Majin Buu had all been brought along.
Zamasu's eyes gleamed with pride, his face full of smugness as if awaiting praise from Black Goku. But just as Zamasu was about to fly toward Black Goku's side, his body suddenly froze in midair.
A bloody scene instantly unfolded, the one who had restrained Zamasu wasn't anyone else, but Trunks. Trunks's fist pierced clean through his back, a blood-soaked hand jutting out from Zamasu's abdomen.
Zamasu slowly lowered his head, his eyes widening in shock as he glanced behind him.
He trembled as he muttered: "Y-you… damn it, how could you…"
But Trunks's face remained stern, completely devoid of emotion.
"Your mission is already over. There's no reason for you to keep living, Zamasu."
At those words, both Bulla and Gohan turned to look at him and a flicker of admiration flashed in Bulla's eyes. Even after all these years, her brother was still someone reliable.
Gohan's lips curled into a faint smile, giving Trunks a silent thumbs-up in his heart. After all, in times like these, with everything they had gone through, a single careless oversight could leave behind a huge problem.
And Trunks's decisiveness had indeed eliminated any potential danger at the root.
Majin Buu just stood there dumbfounded, staring at the scene. On the other side, however, Black Goku drew his attention.
"Aren't those two supposed to be on the same side? Why isn't he helping him?" Majin Buu mumbled. But the next second, something happened that shocked everyone, everyone except Trunks and Black Goku.
"Heh heh…"
A cold chuckle rasped from Zamasu's throat. His face twisted darkly, and suddenly that chuckle erupted into mad, maniacal laughter.
"Hahahaha!!!! So that's how it is!! Just as I thought!! This is the body that a god should possess! An undying body!! I am a god! The greatest god in the world!" Zamasu's manic laughter ended as his body swiftly regenerated.
He turned his head, looking down at Trunks and the others with utter disdain.
"Fools! Humans! I am an undying body! You cannot kill one who is undying!" Hearing this declaration, Black Goku gave him a deep look of admiration, puffing himself up as he declared proudly:
"This is what a god should be. My other self, it seems the Super Dragon really did grant your wish for an undying body."
Their conversation drifted into Gohan and Bulla's ears and confusion was written all over their faces. The words undying body and Super Dragon kept echoing in their minds.
Only one person remained calm. Looking at Zamasu's ridiculously arrogant expression, Trunks had already guessed the truth.
(An undying body, huh? Just as I thought.)-- Whoosh!
In the next second, Trunks lashed out with a flying kick, using Instant Transmission to directly send Zamasu crashing into the ground. Zamasu didn't even have time to react, he only realized he had been struck down.
That smug expression of his instantly darkened., Smack!
A resounding slap exploded across Zamasu's face.
The burning pain made him clutch his cheek.
"Y-you… you, "
The words on the tip of his tongue never came out, because Trunks's hand swung across again, delivering another slap. This simple, brutal method relentlessly desecrated the so-called "holy" and "sacred" body Zamasu prided himself on.
"You may be undying, but you still feel pain! Zamasu!"
--Bang!
Another punch drove straight into Zamasu's skull.
Splurt--!
Blood sprayed everywhere while fragments of brain matter bursting out. Zamasu's shrill screams echoed without end. Trunks truly hadn't expected that trash like Zamasu would still dare to act so arrogantly.
At best, he was only on the level of a Super Saiyan 2.
Aside from stealing others' bodies, he was worthless. Too bad for him, he wasn't a Saiyan.
The "undying body" had its perk, he couldn't be killed. But its flaw… was that it allowed Zamasu to suffer endless pain.
With every wave of anguished screams, Trunks's fists struck with even more rhythm.
"Hel… help me…" Zamasu finally cried out for aid, directed at Black Goku.
But at that moment, Trunks abruptly stopped his assault.
He grabbed Zamasu by the collar, then used Instant Transmission to appear right beside Majin Buu.
A wicked grin spread across Trunks's face as he said to Majin Buu:
"Buu, turn this guy into chocolate and seal him inside your stomach."
This was the exact reason Trunks had insisted on bringing Majin Buu along. Over the years, even someone like Broly had been contained within Buu's body, though he occasionally broke out.
But for trash like Zamasu? So what if he had an undying body? He didn't have Broly's overwhelming strength.
Sealing him inside Majin Buu would be child's play.
Majin Buu instantly broke into a childlike smile. "Buu understands! Boss, Buu was hungry anyway!"
His eyes curved into crescents as he unleashed a beam of magic light, turning Zamasu into a piece of chocolate.
