The cracks in the timeline closed quietly behind the three of them, leaving no trace.
Krillin, Goku and Piccolo stand in the cold void of another timeline.
Krillin pointed casually.
"The direction we want to go next is another branch."
Piccolo looked around at the unfamiliar star field around him, frowning slightly.
"The direction of Tenth Universe?"
"Yes. To be precise, it is the airspace near Tenth Universe in the future timeline."
"There's someone causing trouble on this line, but it's been dealt with ahead of time on our modern lines."
Goku tilted his head, trying hard to search for memories in his relatively small brain capacity.
"What's the name of the one who caused the trouble? Green, with pointed ears... pierced... Zamasu?"
"I actually remember."
Krillin glanced at him a little surprised,
"You usually can't remember Chi-Chi's birthday, but you remember the villain's name quite clearly."
"Because I was beaten! I remember everyone I beat!"
Goku patted his chest confidently and swayed his tail behind him.
Piccolo twitched the corner of his mouth and wisely chose not to participate in this topic.
Krillin raised his hand and touched the void lightly.
The longitude and latitude of space were reorganized under his palm, like strings being plucked by an invisible hand, vibrating silently.
He's looking for that specific timeline branch.
Zamasu was not intercepted in advance in Future Timeline, and successfully advanced his plan.
Although Zamasu on Modern Online has been dealt with, there are too many branches in the timeline.
A small deviation will lead to a completely different future.
In this future, Zamasu collects Super Dragon Balls step by step according to his original plan, preparing to implement his self-righteous "Zero Mortals Plan".
He has found six.
"Locked." Krillin opened his eyes and raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, "The front is probably... well, it's quite far."
He stretched out his hands and faced the void in front of him, tearing it to both sides like opening a curtain.
The space opened in response.
This time the crack is much larger than before, enough to allow an asteroid to pass through.
The three of them walked in side by side, and the void they stepped on was like a beach paved with fine sand, leaving behind shallow and fleeting shimmering footprints.
After passing through the rift, a vast and sacred space in the universe suddenly unfolded.
This is the edge of the star field.
Sparse starlight came from very far away, so faint that it was almost impossible to distinguish which ones were stars and which ones were just cold rocks that reflected light.
But right in front, there are six huge things that exude endless divine power.
Super Dragon Balls.
The diameter of each one is comparable to that of a medium-sized planet, and the golden spheres stand out against the black curtain of the universe.
They are not dead objects, but each exudes sacred energy as vast as the sea, resonating with each other.
Six Super Dragon Balls are arranged in an irregular arc, slowly rotating in the void.
And in the very center of the sacred realm, there was a human figure.
He is suspended among the stars.
With an upright posture, the white King of Gods uniform remains motionless in space.
The silver-gray hair looks cold and sacred in the silence of the void.
The emerald-colored Potara Earrings hangs on the earlobes on both sides, emitting a faint light.
His arms were spread wide and his head was slightly raised, as if he was embracing the entire universe.
He is speaking to the universe.
"Mortals..."
Zamasu's voice has no propagation medium in a vacuum, but he uses divine power to diffuse it.
That sound penetrated the limitations of physics Laws and echoed within hundreds of thousands of kilometers around it.
Every passing asteroid and every floating particle of cosmic dust is forced to listen to his oracle.
"Your filthy existence is the greatest blasphemy against God's creation!"
"You use the wisdom given by God to kill, destroy, and fight for those worthless things!"
"You treat the universe as your toy, leaving your ugly footprints on every planet's surface!"
"But all this will come to an end."
The corners of Zamasu's mouth turned up, it was an extremely intoxicating smile that he thought was full of divine mercy.
In his understanding, it was the solemnity and joy that a just executioner should have when reading out the verdict.
"Zero Mortals Plan."
He opened his arms and faced the boundless starry sky, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.
"When the seventh super dragon boat is found, I will make my ultimate wish to Super Shenron..."
"Erase all mortals in the universe!"
He closed his eyes, his chest heaved violently, and his emotions reached their peak.
"At that time, this universe that has been ruined by mortals will return to the embrace of God!"
"I, Zamasu, will become the real..."
"Good plan."
A lazy voice came from behind him.
The distance is unreasonably close.
Zamasu's eyes suddenly opened!
All the divine power in his body tensed up in an instant, his body turned instinctively at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and his emerald earrings shook violently.
A bald man stood less than a step behind him with a smile.
Zamasu's pupils shrank violently to the size of a pinhead.
How is that possible?!
As a trainee of King of Gods, his ability to sense breath is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.
He can detect life fluctuations several universes away.
But he didn't realize when the bald head in front of him appeared.
"You..."
Zamasu hasn't had time to organize the complete sentence of the question.
He looked over Krillin's shoulders and saw two more people.
A black-haired Saiyan wearing orange-red Martial Arts Uniform was looking at him with curious eyes.
A Namekian, Dragon God Staff wrapped in a white robe stood beside him, his expression cold to the point of being almost bored.
"Goku?!"
Zamasu recognized Goku.
During the execution of his plan, Goku was one of the targets marked as "Highest Threat".
A mortal actually possesses power that rivals gods - this is one of the core reasons why he vowed to destroy all mortals.
But why?
Why are these people here?
"No matter how you found this place."
Zamasu's voice regained its aloof coldness, and the green energy burst out from the body surface, stirring up circles of silent Energy Blast in the surrounding vacuum.
"But now that you're here, don't think about leaving alive!"
"Mortals dare to set foot in the realm of gods. This is an unforgivable sin in itself!"
He raised his hand, and a green light blade composed of pure divine power condensed in his palm, and he slashed it at Krillin!
"Let's start with you, a fool like you!"
However, the light blade, which was enough to cut off the planet, disintegrated silently half a meter away from Krillin.
It turned into the purest energy particles and dissipated in the void, unable to even blow the corners of Krillin's clothes.
Zamasu's face froze.
Krillin made a fist with his right hand and waved forward.
Ordinary Punch.
When the fist reached Zamasu's chest, his expression still remained at the shock and confusion of the previous second.
His mouth was open, trying to say something, but no sound came out.
Then, his body disappeared.
It was evaporated from the molecular level, leaving not even a trace of dust behind.
The whole process, from Krillin's action to Zamasu's disappearance, takes less than a breath.
The universe has restored its silence.
The six Super Dragon Ballss continue to rotate in place.
Goku stood behind, his mouth opened into a round "O" shape.
After several seconds, Goku's jaw closed with a "click".
"Uh... is it over?"
Piccolo took Dragon God Staff back into his sleeves from the void. He was already ready for battle.
Dragon God Power reached the critical point where it could be released at any time, but it turned out to be useless at all.
"It's over." Piccolo replied expressionlessly, but his heart was in turmoil.
"But... but!"
Goku pointed at the location where Zamasu disappeared. It was empty, not even the cosmic dust was left.
"He didn't even finish a complete sentence! I thought we were going to have a good fight!"
Krillin looked like it was natural.
"What's so nice about what he said? He kept saying things like mortals are dirty and gods are righteous."
"I listened to it last time when Hyperspace sealed him, and it's still noisy to my ears."
Goku:"..."
Piccolo:"..."
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
Krillin turned his eyes to the six Super Dragon Balls that were slowly rotating in the darkness.
Six huge golden spheres, the surface of each one reflects the reflection of the surrounding stars.
The red starburst mark exudes a soft glow on the golden sphere.
One star, two stars, three stars, four stars, five stars, seven stars.
One piece is missing.
Six-Star Dragon Ball.
Krillin scanned around and saw no trace of other Dragon Balls.
Goku also reacted. He floated from one to that, and made a big circle around the six Super Dragon Balls.
Finally it stopped next to Krillin.
"There are only six here, what should I do if there is one missing?"
