Zeno's Invitation

"Something must have happened in Trunks' timeline," Luo Tian mused, and immediately examined the Crystal Ball on his Scepter closely.

Sure enough, Zamasu disappeared.

It's been a long time since I've paid attention to Zamasu. This guy is still causing trouble in other timelines, following the plot.

He should have been killed back then.

However, upon closer reflection, Luo Tian realized that Zamasu hadn't done anything wrong back then.

The main reason is that Zamasu behaved relatively well.

It's not right to kill an Apprentice Supreme Kai who hasn't committed any serious offense.

Since it has already happened, let's go and deal with it.

This is a good opportunity for Goku and Vegeta to gain more experience.

"I'll go take a look." Bardock bowed to Luo Tian and immediately went over to see what was going on.

After being treated by Goku, Trunks finally woke up.

The moment Trunks awoke, he immediately saw the familiar face of Goku standing before him.

Trunks then turned his gaze to Bardock's face, his eyes filled with boundless rage.

"You bastard!" Trunks punched Bardock.

Bardock calmly extended a finger, using it to block Trunks' attack.

"You damned thing!" Trunks roared.

Bardock: "..."

"Trunks, what's wrong?" Goku quickly stepped forward and pulled Trunks away.

Trunks was taken aback. He glanced back at Goku, then at Bardock, and immediately said, "Mr. Goku, this guy is Black Goku!"

"What Black Goku?" Goku scratched his head, feeling completely confused.

"They're all dead... Mr. Goku resurrected in my timeline... except for me, they're all dead!" Trunks was overcome with grief, tears streaming down his face. "Even Mom and Aunt Bulma... Waaaaah..."

Goku was stunned.

Vegeta's eyes widened as well.

"Who did this?" Goku was taken aback and quickly asked, "Was it the Black Goku you mentioned?"

Trunks nodded vigorously and explained, "That person looks exactly like Mr. Goku, just like that guy!"

As he spoke, Trunks pointed at Bardock.

"Trunks, he's my dad," Goku introduced.

Trunks' expression froze, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Then Trunks looked more closely and found that Black Goku didn't look very similar to Bardock.

Trunks had no choice but to apologize hastily.

Trunks then recounted everything that had happened in his time to everyone present.

After saying that, Trunks seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly looked around for Luo Tian.

"Where is Lord Kaiyen?" Trunks asked.

The crowd automatically parted.

Trunks looked towards the lounge chairs by the lake in the distance and saw Luo Tian lying on one, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Does that guy look exactly like me?" Goku scratched his head.

"Yes." Trunks nodded.

"This is really a headache..." Goku stroked his chin, both amused and exasperated, and then asked, "But speaking of which, did you go back last time and find the Super Dragon Balls to revive me from that timeline?"

"No..." Trunks shook his head. "Super Dragon Balls are hard to find, and I can't survive in outer space."

"I knew it... but who is that guy who looks exactly like me?" Goku was a little puzzled.

"Let's ask Luo Tian," Vegeta suggested.

Several people came to Luo Tian's side together.

Luo Tian slowly stood up.

Trunks was just about to tell Luo Tian what had happened in his own timeline.

Luo Tian waved his hand lightly and said calmly, "I already know. It was a guy named Zamasu who did it."

"Zamasu? Who is he?" Goku was taken aback.

"This is Apprentice Supreme Kai from Universe 10, who was formerly the North Kai of Universe 10," Luo Tian explained. "This person has a rather obsessive personality! He may want to kill all of humanity."

"Yes...that's exactly what he said." Trunks nodded vigorously.

"Then, as before, I'll go to Trunks' timeline with him and defeat that guy," Goku said, clenching his fists with eager anticipation.

"Really? That's great!" Trunks was excited, but then lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "However, that guy is very strong. I feel it will be a bit difficult. He is much stronger than Cell was back then."

"It's okay, I've become stronger too." Goku chuckled.

"Zamasu most likely killed all the Supreme Kai in the Trunks' timeline," Luo Tian added.

"Huh? He killed all the Supreme Kai?" Goku was stunned.

Bardock was slightly taken aback.

"If all the Supreme Kai were to die, the corresponding God of Destruction would also disappear," Luo Tian explained. "That's why Zamasu was able to run rampant in that timeline!"

"Fuwa... could he also be dead?" Goku's expression changed repeatedly as he realized something.

"More or less," Luo Tian nodded.

"That despicable guy! I won't let him get away with this!" Goku clenched his fists tightly. "I'm going to Trunks' timeline right now to defeat that guy!"

As he spoke, Goku was about to set off immediately using the Time-Space Ring.

"Wait a minute, Kakarot, I'm going too." Vegeta immediately put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

"Mr. Goku! I'm going too! I want to avenge my fallen comrades!" Trunks exclaimed hastily.

"Well... alright, let's go together." Goku glanced at Vegeta and Trunks, but didn't object.

"Kakarot," Bardock said.

"Dad... are you going too? If you go, it seems like we won't have to fight anymore," Goku said, scratching his head.

"God of Destruction are not allowed to travel through time." Bardock slowly shook his head and patted Goku on the shoulder. "Be careful when you get there. If that guy really killed all the Supreme Kai, it means he's a very despicable guy!"

"Understood, Dad." Goku nodded solemnly.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go check it out when I have some free time," Luo Tian said thoughtfully.

"Huh? You're going too, Luo Tian!" Goku was a little anxious. He grinned and said, "Alright, let's finish this battle as soon as possible. If Luo Tian goes, we won't have anyone left to fight."

Luo Tian smiled and didn't say anything more.

However, just as Goku was about to set off...

The Scepter in Luo Tian's hand suddenly trembled, and he immediately looked over.

"Wait a moment," Luo Tian said to Goku, then immediately answered the phone. "Oh my, it's the Grand Minister!"

Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Bardock, who was standing to the side, was so startled that he almost knelt down.

"Hello Grand Minister, it's been a long time." Luo Tian greeted him with a smile.

"Luo Tian, Lord Zeno wishes to see Mr. Goku. You must come to Lord Zeno's Lookout immediately," the Grand Minister said in an unquestionable tone.

"Are Little Lefty and Little Righty here?" Luo Tian immediately became interested.

Grand Minister: "..."

The Grand Minister turned his head and glanced at the two guards on his left and right.

Both guards were slightly taken aback, not understanding what the Grand Minister meant by looking at them.

"They're all here," the Grand Minister replied.

"Okay, we'll go right away," Luo Tian agreed.

The call ended there.

"Huh? Lord Zeno?" Goku scratched his head.

Bardock's expression changed repeatedly, completely unaware of what the Lord Zeno meant by seeking out Kakarot.

"What does Lord Zeno want with me? Is it because of the Martial Arts Tournament of the entire universe?" Goku asked excitedly.

"I don't know, maybe he just wants to play with you." Luo Tian smiled.

"Tell him I'm very busy, and we'll play again when we have time." Goku suddenly lost interest.

Bardock quickly stepped forward and grabbed Goku by the neck.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Goku was a little confused.

"Lord Zeno tells you to go, then go right now! Why are you talking so much! Just like your mother!" Bardock snapped irritably.

"Alright... I'll go take a look then." Goku was a little reluctant.

"Go quickly! Be sure to be polite when you meet the Lord Zeno!" Bardock instructed.

"Luo Tian, where is the Lookout of the Lord Zeno? I've never been there before." Goku looked around.

Luo Tian pointed in a direction.

Goku immediately looked in the direction Luo Tian pointed.

A few seconds later.

"Found it!" Goku exclaimed excitedly.

Luo Tian put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

Bardock hesitated for a moment, afraid that his son might speak too casually, and quickly placed his hand on Goku's other shoulder as well.

"Huh? Dad, you're going too!" Goku was taken aback.

"I'll also go and pay a visit to Lord Zeno!" Bardock nodded.

"Trunks, Vegeta, wait for me." Goku said to Trunks and Vegeta.

Vegeta remained silent.

Trunks, however, looked completely bewildered.

"Whoosh!"

Goku immediately used Instant Transmission with Luo Tian and Bardock, disappearing from their original spot in the blink of an eye.

Watching the three figures disappear, Trunks asked curiously, "Dad, Lord Zeno they were talking about?"

"Do you remember that kid who appeared on the mountain during the Cell Games?" Vegeta explained.

Trunks thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"It's him. He's the greatest god in the entire universe. He can easily wipe out a universe with a wave of his hand, or even all universes." Vegeta said, cold sweat dripping down his face.

"Erase all universes?" Trunks's expression changed repeatedly.

"About a year ago, we had a match with Universe 7," Vegeta continued. "Universe 7 brought in some fighters from another dimension to participate in the competition!"

"Really? Do Dad know all those players?" Trunks asked.

"It's the reincarnation of Kakarot and me from another timeline, along with Broly and Majin Buu." Vegeta told Trunks everything he knew.

Trunks listened in silence for a long time before asking curiously, "But what does this have to do with Lord Zeno?"

"As far as I know, that universe in that timeline was used by the Lord Zeno for practice. After erasing all universes, the disappearance of the universes was delayed, which is why such a timeline was left behind," Vegeta explained.

"Huh? Is that so?" Trunks asked in surprise, then with some worry, "Then, will our fathers from that timeline disappear?"

"We will disappear in a few hundred years. Our lifespan is not much different from that of Saiyan," Vegeta replied.

"It's better that it won't disappear for hundreds of years." Trunks breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Zeno's Palace.

"Whoosh!"

Goku used Instant Transmission, instantly appearing at the entrance of the Zeno's Palace with Luo Tian and Bardock.

Luo Tian looked up and saw the Grand Minister appearing opposite him.

Then, Luo Tian stepped forward and bowed to the Grand Minister.

Bardock immediately bowed in respect.

"Welcome." The Grand Minister said with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, Grand Minister," Luo Tian said with a smile.

The Grand Minister nodded, then looked at Goku: "You must be Mr. Goku?"

"Hi, I'm Goku!" Goku waved his hand.

Bardock's face darkened, and he immediately pressed Goku's head down, making him bow to the Grand Minister.

"I am truly sorry, Grand Minister." Bardock bowed and stepped forward to apologize. "My son was rude! I hope the Grand Minister will forgive him."

"I don't care about such details." The Grand Minister smiled and turned around, saying, "Please come with me. Lord Zeno is waiting for Mr. Goku."

The Grand Minister then led the way.

Luo Tian and the others followed behind.

"Luo Tian, he looks quite ordinary, but he gives off a very strong aura," Goku said to Luo Tian.

"You noticed? He's even stronger than me!" Luo Tian smiled.

"Huh? Even stronger than you?" Goku was stunned, his face showing shock.

"You're only finding out now?" Bardock said irritably. "The Grand Minister is the most powerful god in the entire universe!"

"Really?" Goku sighed repeatedly. "It seems I need to cultivate even harder!"

They traveled a further distance.

Luo Tian soon saw the Zeno sitting on the throne, and the Right Attendant standing on either side of him.

When the two guards on either side noticed the Empress, their lips trembled slightly, and they quickly looked away, not daring to meet her gaze.

Making eye contact is a provocation!

Even with our Super Fusion Technique, we still can't beat you!

Let's keep a low profile!

The two of them lowered their eyes, looking at their toes.

"Welcome, you've finally arrived!" Zeno said excitedly as he looked at Goku.

With that, the Zeno leaped up from his throne and pounced toward Goku.

Luo Tian stepped forward and gave him a hug.

I'm level 80 now, he can't erase me.

Zeno: "..."

Zeno's face darkened, and he immediately broke free from Luo Tian's embrace.

The Grand Minister rubbed his forehead, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Immediately afterwards, the Zeno looked at Goku with excitement once again.

"Ah... do you want a hug and to lift me up high?" Goku scratched his head, stepped forward, picked up the Zeno, and lifted him up high again.

The Zeno's face darkened further.

The two guards glared angrily at Goku.

Luo Tian smiled and looked at the two guards.

The two guards were startled and quickly looked away, no longer daring to glare at Goku.

Bardock was so frightened he almost fainted.

I'm going to let my son ruin me.
