The Grand Priest Was the Mastermind?

Future Trunks stared blankly at the figure in front of him, muttering to himself:

"Mr. Qin Feng... has he really become this strong?!"

In his memory, even when Mr. Qin Feng became Super Saiyan 2, he never had such a terrifying aura.

To unleash such power in Super Saiyan 2 after transformation, how ridiculously high must one's base combat strength have to be?

With Mr. Qin Feng in charge, a mere Prison Planet is nothing!

In a dark space.

"Damn it! What a useless piece of trash, all show and no substance, he was taken down in one move by this kid!"

Seeing Kamba instantly defeated by Qin Feng, Fu was so angry that his face contorted.

Qin Feng was already mentally prepared for this, but he never expected that even Kamba in his berserk Great Ape form would be instantly defeated without any chance to fight back!

This was completely beyond his comprehension.

But Kamba and Cooler are crucial to his later plans and absolutely cannot be left behind in vain.

"Are you really going to force me to personally go and save them?"

Fu frowned deeply, his mind in turmoil.

Honestly, if it were just Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, and Future Trunks, Fu wouldn't even give them a second thought.

But standing below them were Qin Feng, whose combat power was ridiculously high, and a mysterious Saiyan strength was unfathomable!

"Hateful!"

Although I was extremely unwilling, reason ultimately prevailed over fear.

These two test samples must be taken away!

The next moment, Fu's figure vanished into the dark room.

Above the Prison Planet, space distorted.

A man dressed in a black coat, a black bodysuit underneath, and loose yellow trousers, with a long sword slung across his back, slowly landed not far in front of Qin Feng.

He had short silver hair and strange bluish skin.

Qin Feng glanced at him, knowing full well that this was the mastermind, Fu, but he still pretended not to know him.

"And who are you, you piece of trash? Coming here to die?"

Qin Feng glanced at Fu and asked indifferently.

Fu forced a snort and said:

"I never expected your fighting strength to be this high. You even crippled Kamba and Cooler. But I've collected enough energy, so I won't stay and play house with you anymore. I'm taking these two with me!"

In the original story, Fu was quite the wild one on the Prison Planet, even daring to directly confront the main characters.

But right now, all Fu wanted to do was escape.

He was genuinely afraid that Qin Feng would casually wave his hand and kill him as easily as he had dealt with Kamba.

Fu's figure flashed by, instantly appearing beside the unconscious Kamba and Cooler, grabbing one in each hand, ready to run away.

However, just as he was about to slip away, Qin Feng's voice slowly drifted over:

"You think you can take someone away from me with your pathetic skills?"

Fu was startled and stiffly turned around to look at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng stood there, arms crossed, staring at him with a playful expression.

"What... what do you want to do?!"

F's voice trembled with barely concealed emotion.

Although he considered himself a top expert and capable of dealing with Kamba, Qin Feng's combat power was dozens of times greater than his ceiling!

If someone were truly intent on killing, they could probably obliterate him on the spot with just a flick of a finger.

"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to take your life too!"

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he slowly raised his right hand, pointing his index finger straight at Fu.

Terrified, Fu no longer cared about dignity; saving his life was his top priority!

Whether he can escape or not is beyond his control.

In Qin Feng's eyes, this guy was already a sitting duck.

Qin Feng had initially thought that Fu would hide and refuse to show himself, after all, his opponent this time was Qin Feng.

Unfortunately, this guy was blinded by greed and actually dared to take the risk of running out to save people.

Watching Fu flee in panic, Qin Feng quickly conjured a white light bullet the size of a grain of rice at the tip of his index finger.

Damn it! Damn it all!

Having been beaten so badly and forced to flee in such a sorry state, Fu felt extremely aggrieved.

But he didn't dare to delay his actions for a moment, and quickly drew the long sword from behind him, slashing fiercely at the void in front of him!

Sizzle!

A dark and deep spatial rift instantly tore open in the air!

As long as you crawl into the crack, you can successfully escape the scene.

In Frey's eyes, he was getting closer and closer to that spacetime rift.

Having lived for so long, Fu had never experienced such despair and terror, walking on the edge of life and death.

Beyond the black crack lay a path to life, while beneath his feet lay hell.

The closer he got to the path of survival, the more fervent his will to live became.

"Almost there! We'll be able to leave soon!"

But just then, Fu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

He didn't even have time to look back to check; he could only crawl desperately toward the black crack like a stray dog.

He knew better than anyone else that Qin Feng had made his move!

If he dared to pause for even half a second, he would instantly become a dead soul at Qin Feng's hands.

The light bullet that Qin Feng had condensed at his fingertips shot out.

Under normal circumstances, all you need to do is wait quietly for Fu to fall at the entrance of the crack and turn to ashes.

But just at this critical moment, a beam of white light shot out from nowhere in the void, hitting the light bullet fired by Qin Feng squarely and intercepting the attack!

"How so?!"

Yamoshi stared wide-eyed at this unbelievable scene, his face filled with disbelief.

Even after their fusion ended, Son Goku and Vegeta stared at each other, completely dumbfounded.

What exactly is going on here?

Future Trunks.

In his eyes, Mr. Qin Feng was already an insurmountable supreme being.

What mysterious force under heaven could possibly withstand Mr. Qin Feng's attacks?

Qin Feng frowned slightly.

Taking advantage of this brief delay, Fu grabbed the two unconscious men and plunged into the black crevice, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the black crack closed and disappeared, leaving only Qin Feng and his group on the ruins.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the Prison Planet, now free from Fu's control, suddenly trembled violently and collapsed.

Qin Feng knew that this planet was about to self-destruct, and the most urgent thing was to leave this place before investigating the mysterious force that had intervened.

The ruins disappeared.

Qin Feng, Yamoshi, Future Trunks, along with Son Goku and Vegeta, floated in the vast void of space.

Looking at the Prison Planet that had turned into cosmic dust, everyone remained silent for a long time.

Qin Feng's expression was solemn.

He couldn't understand what kind of powerful being was hiding in the universe, that would so unexpectedly come out to protect Fu?

All things considered, the strongest card in Frost's hand is Hearts.

However, Hearts has not yet absorbed and merged with the power of the Universe Seed. With his limited abilities, he could not possibly withstand the light blast I just fired.

Who exactly was the one who did it?

Qin Feng vaguely sensed that he was always in the open, while a pair of cold eyes were always watching him intently from the shadows.

If one's actions threaten the interests or plans of the other party, those two behind-the-scenes manipulators will not hesitate to emerge and disrupt the situation.

"Who could it be...?"

Qin Feng murmured softly.

However, it's not convenient to do things with Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Vegeta around.

Qin Feng simply waved his hand, dismissing them to leave first.

After all, they belong to the Time Patrol, so it's more appropriate for me to handle the investigation of Fu myself.

On the other side, Fu, who had narrowly escaped death, slumped in the dark space, recalling the scene just now, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"That's fucking terrifying! If I had been even a fraction slower, I would definitely be dead at Qin Feng's hands today!"

Clearly, that idiot Frey had no idea that someone had secretly shielded him from a fatal blow.

He was still basking in the relief of having escaped death by his own skill.

"But what should I do now? With Qin Feng and that freak around, I need to find a new base to continue my god-making experiment!"

Frustrated, Fu rubbed his hair, and a figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

That guy is quite powerful, and he harbors an incredibly crazy and ambitious idea—to kill the Grand Zeno, overthrow the gods, and rule the entire universe with humanity at its core!

Of course, that's just a nice way of putting it; in the original story, that guy was just as cruel to ordinary humans.

Since our goals overlap, we might as well go and join forces with him.

"Tch, Hearts was originally just a pawn in my later plans, but now I have no choice but to cooperate with him for the time being!"

Fu muttered a few words to himself, then his figure flickered and disappeared into the dark space.

Meanwhile, deep within the Zeno's Palace.

The Grand Priest who had just left walked back with slow, deliberate steps.

The Grand Zeno, seated on his throne, raised his head and blinked his large eyes, asking:

"How's it going?"

The Grand Priest bowed slightly and reported respectfully:

"Your Grand Zeno, Qin Feng's finger flick almost took Fu's life. However, I intervened at the last moment and blocked the attack for Fu. Fu has now fled for his life."

After listening, the Grand Zeno's little face showed a satisfied smile, and he said with a smile:

"Well done! After Fu escapes, he'll definitely go after his 'old friend.' Once the two of them join forces, they'll find a way to deal with Qin Feng. At that time, we just need to sit back and reap the benefits!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Priest smiled and nodded in deep agreement.

The mysterious being who rescued Fu from the Prison Planet turned out to be Grand Priest.

Their attempts to keep Fu were simply to use him as a pawn, to make him fight Qin Feng to the death.

In that case, both sides will suffer heavy losses, allowing the Grand Zeno and the Sacred World of the Kais to sit back and reap enormous benefits.

As for Qin Feng, he is unaware of this conspiracy and is gradually walking into the trap set by the other party.

The only question is, do those two guys, F and Hearts, really have the ability to shake Qin Feng's current strength?

"What a rare guest! I never expected you, you scoundrel, to actually show up at my door."

Hearts leaned against the stone wall with his arms crossed, looking at the visitor with a cold smile.

He fought a bloody battle against Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, and Future Trunks, and died on Prison Planet. He was later resurrected by Fu using a secret technique and has been hiding in the core area of Prison Planet ever since.

When Qin Feng launched his surprise attack on the Prison Planet, Hearts sensed that the outer barrier was loosening. He decisively led Lagss, Kamin, Oren, and Zamasu out and hid in the Universe 3 to recuperate.

Hearts knew perfectly well that Frey had been using him as a pawn all along, but he hadn't expected the guy to be so quick and actually track him down here.

F, not wanting to beat around the bush with Hearts, went straight to the point:

"I know you just sneaked out of the Prison Planet. You're quick on your feet."

Hearts frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly happened just now? Who was that ridiculously strong guy?"

F chuckled, staring mysteriously at Hearts, without giving a direct answer:

"What, you expect me to stand at the door and talk to you?"

Hearts took a deep breath, glared at Fer with disgust in his eyes, but still turned away.

"Get in here!"

Before obtaining the Universe Seed, Hearts's raw power was no match for Frost's.

Fu shrugged, casually tossed Cooler and Kamba, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, onto the floor, and swaggered into the cave.

This is an underground cave on a desolate and lifeless planet, but inside it lies a hidden paradise.

Kamin and Oren were lying listlessly on the stone bench.

As soon as Lagss saw Hearts return, she rushed to greet him.

The Fused Zamasu huddled in a corner, muttering curses and complaining that this dilapidated cave was an insult to his noble divine status.

Of this rabble, only Lagss was truly devoted to Hearts.

The rest of the people all had their own agendas.

The Fused Zamasu hoped that after Hearts overthrew the Grand Zeno, he could restart the "Zero Mortals Plan" and take the opportunity to stab Hearts in the back.

The brothers, Kamin and Oren, sought revenge against the scientists of Universe 6, Tuffle, who had created and then abandoned them.

Fu crouched down, a strange energy surging in his palm, and used it to heal the wounds of Kamba and Cooler, who were lying on the ground, pulling the two half-dead guys back from the brink of death.

Visibly, Kamba's arm, which had been pierced and rendered useless by Qin Feng, quickly stopped bleeding and regenerated.

Cooler, who was unconscious, frowned and gradually regained a faint sense of consciousness.

Hearts coldly observed Frey's actions, then reprimanded him in an unfriendly tone:

"Alright, stop playing tricks on me. What do you want from me?"

Fu revealed a strange smile:

"We're all old acquaintances, why are you being so rude?"

Hearts took a step back in disgust, creating some distance:

"Don't try to get close to me, just say what you have to say!"

Fu pursed his lips, not wanting to make a fool of himself, and casually found a clean rock to sit on. He looked around the dimly lit cave and sighed:

"Tsk tsk, your lodgings are so shabby."

Hearts was extremely annoyed and suddenly raised his voice:

"Just say what you have to say, stop arguing with me!"

F looked up at Hearts and said, enunciating each word clearly:

"That guy who just went to the Prison Planet and caused trouble was the God of Time and Space."

"Qin Feng!"

Hearts paused, looking completely bewildered:

"The God of Time and Space?"

"Qin Feng?"

"Where did this nobody come from?"

Clearly, Hearts had never heard of Qin Feng before.

However, the Fused Zamasu, who had been cursing and swearing, was struck dumb upon hearing this name, his face turning deathly pale!

"What did you say?! Qin Feng?!"

The Fused Zamasu screamed shrilly, reacting with unusual ferocity!

"Hmm? Zamasu? You know this person?"

Hearts turned his head and looked at the Fused Zamasu with some surprise.

The Fused Zamasu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, enunciating each word clearly:

"I am his sworn enemy!!"

Although it's unknown what deep-seated hatred exists between the Fused Zamasu and Qin Feng, judging from his cannibalistic appearance, he was most likely once thoroughly humiliated by Qin Feng.

They had no idea that when Qin Feng made his killing move, the two Zamasu hadn't even had time to merge.

"Alright, continue!"

Hearts waved his hand, signaling for F to continue.

Fu grinned and spread his hands, saying:

"It's that guy named Qin Feng who beat Kamba and Cooler into these half-dead, crippled wrecks. I knew I was no match for him, so I had to bring these two burdens to you."

Hearts's eyes were cold as he pressed on:

"You still haven't answered me, what's your real purpose in coming here to see me?"

F smiled and gazed at Hearts, speaking in a seductive tone:

"How about we join forces and take down Qin Feng together? What do you think?"

"Stop joking! Even you were beaten like a stray dog by him. Even if I joined the team, there's no way we could beat him! You've got the wrong person!"

Hearts had absolutely no interest in Fer's proposal and waved it away without a second thought.

Judging by this, Hearts is about to blast F out of the cave in the next second.

At the crucial moment, Fu stepped forward, grabbed Hearts's shoulder tightly, and said in a low voice:

"Hearts, don't think I can't see through the grand schemes you're hiding!"

"If you want to achieve your ultimate ambition, Qin Feng is your Achilles' heel that you can never overcome! Besides, the Universe Seed is now in my hands!"

Upon hearing the words "Universe Seed," Hearts's previously indifferent eyes instantly flashed with a dazzling light!

"The Universe Seed? That's the supreme treasure that can frantically extract energy from the entire universe for its own use?!"

"If we had this treasure, what would Qin Feng be worth!"

Hearts certainly understood how terrifying the Universe Seed; it was the only ultimate artifact in the entire universe capable of rivaling the Grand Zeno.

Seeing the fervor in Hearts's eyes, Ferguson felt a surge of confidence and said with amusement:

"Since you say I've chosen the wrong person, then I'll take the Universe Seed and go find a more suitable partner."

Having said that, Fu turned and was about to walk out of the cave.

Now it was Hearts's turn to panic, and he quickly reached out to grab F:

"Wait a minute! I agree to form an alliance with you! I didn't know you had the Universe Seed, that's why I said those hurtful things!"

"Without the Universe Seed, with our current trump cards, it would indeed be difficult to contend with Qin Feng, wouldn't it?"

Hearts's words were a gesture of deliberate concession, and Flint, taking advantage of the situation, sneered:

"Alright, now that you've obtained the Universe Seed, what are your plans next?"

Hearts paused for a moment, then answered truthfully:

"First, I'll plunder the energy of eighteen powerful beings from the universe! Once the Universe Seed is fully mature, I'll merge with it, storm the Zeno's Palace, and trample the Grand Zeno under my feet!"

Seeing that Hearts remained so reckless and stubborn, Freud smiled with satisfaction.

If Hearts is stupid and impulsive enough, he can easily manipulate him.

Upon hearing the term "Universe Seed," the eyes of the others in the cave also lit up with fervor.

Especially the Fused Zamasu, whose eyes were fixed on the front, gleaming with undisguised greed.

"If I fuse with that thing... can I really kill Qin Feng with my own hands?!"

Although Zamasu was constantly thinking about restarting the "Zero Mortals Plan," the greatest temptation for him right now was to personally kill Qin Feng, who had once tried to eliminate him!

After dealing with Qin Feng, we'll find another opportunity to kill Hearts and steal the Universe Seed!

This motley crew appeared to be united, but in reality, each harbored their own ulterior motives and secretly plotted against each other.

"Take it, the Universe Seed is yours!"

Fer readily pulled out a strange, round bead that emitted a dazzling white light and casually handed it to Hearts.

Ferdinand wasn't afraid of Hearts betraying him after he'd served his purpose, because Hearts had been nothing more than a sacrifice he'd thrown out to draw fire from the start.

Fu's true ultimate goal is to take this opportunity to open a spacetime rift and completely resurrect the Demon God Mechikabura!

"By the way, you can do whatever you want with those two pieces of trash, Cooler and Kamba. Once Cooler awakens, I'll transform him into a metal form, and he'll be your top-tier weapon. As for Kamba, as long as you can activate the remaining evil blood within him, his combat power won't be weaker than Cooler's."

Hearts couldn't help but feel a little suspicious as he looked at F's generosity towards him.

But with the treasure already in his hands, the initiative was on his side!

"Alright, you can decide on the tactics from here on out. I'm going to go plunder energy first!"

Hearts let out a wild laugh and vanished into the cave.

Lagss, Kamin, Oren, and the Fused Zamasu also transformed into streaks of light and followed closely behind.

Qin Feng had already anticipated that after Fu escaped, Hearts and his gang would inevitably cause trouble.

Although they failed to catch Hearts on the Prison Planet, as a key figure in this grand scheme, he will inevitably show up sooner or later.

At this time, Qin Feng had already returned to Earth to observe the situation.

Yamoshi is leading Universe Action Team to patrol various parallel universes. As long as there is any movement, Qin Feng can cross space and time to rush over at any time.

Deep within the Zeno's Palace.

The Grand Zeno swung his legs and looked at the Grand Priest in front of him:

"Grand Priest, where did Fro go?"

The Grand Priest bowed and reported:

"Reporting to the Grand Zeno, after escaping the Prison Planet, Fu found Hearts and has already handed the Universe Seed over to Hearts."

The Grand Zeno was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked:

"Can you guess what that kid Fu is really up to?"

The Grand Priest replied respectfully:

"Back when the Time Patrol wiped out the Supreme Kai Mechikabura, Fu was just an infant. Towa and Mira risked their lives to send him away. Now that he's fully grown, his true ambition is probably to completely resurrect Mechikabura and use Hearts to perish together with the Sacred World of the Kais."

The Grand Zeno nodded in agreement and chuckled in a childish voice:

"Your analysis makes sense. But I think that kid has a huge appetite; he probably wants to get rid of Mechikabura and become the supreme ruler of the entire universe himself... How laughable."

"Back then, Mechikabura attempted to seize control of the real world, even threatening me with the Dark Demon Realm, but in the end, wasn't he wiped out completely?"

"A bunch of lowly ants, how dare they presume to climb onto my head and hop around?"

Although the Grand Zeno's tone sounded naive, the ferocity and coldness revealed between the lines sent chills down one's spine.

The Grand Priest obediently lowered his head, then changed the subject:

"Lord Grand Zeno- King, what should we do next?"

The Grand Zeno curled his lip:

"The plan remains the same. Let him do whatever he wants, even if he wants to resurrect Mechikabura. By the way, does he still have the Dark Dragon Balls?"

The Grand Priest replied:

"Yes, the seven planets in the core area of Prison Planet were originally the Dark Dragon Balls of the Dark Demon Realm."

The Grand Zeno sneered:

"With the Dark Dragon Balls's blessing, their chances of defeating Qin Feng will be slightly higher. Grand Priest, remember, as long as it hinders Qin Feng and weakens Qin Feng combat power, we'll secretly give Fu the green light for any means necessary!"

"Yes, sir." The Grand Priest bowed slightly to accept the order.

At this very moment, Hearts, along with several of his subordinates, is rampaging through multiple universes, reaping the energy of the powerful with abandon.

"Hahaha! Almost there! Just a little more absorption and the Universe Seed will be fully mature! Then, I don't care if it's Qin Feng, the God of Time and Space, or the Grand Zeno, I'll crush them all under my feet!"

Seeing Hearts's almost manic state, a deep disgust flashed in the eyes of the merged Fused Zamasu.

Zamasu's Achilles' heel has always been the Universe Seed that radiates white light above Hearts's head.

Once Hearts and Qin Feng have fought to the point of mutual destruction, he will seize the Universe Seed and begin his "Zero Mortals Plan".

Just then, an incomparably violent and terrifying aura roared towards them!

Hearts's expression hardened, and he turned to look.

Not far away stood a man with short, light green hair and a burly build as tall as an iron tower.

The planet Hearts and his group lived on had an extremely harsh living environment. Although the civilization was backward, the basic combat strength of the natives was generally very high, starting with millions.

Even so, these local powerhouses were powerless against Hearts's plundering and could only lie on the ground in despair, waiting for their energy to be drained.

But this violent man, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, disrupted Hearts's plans.

"Where did you come from, you bastard?" Hearts asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The one who'll take your dog's life!"

The newcomer was none other than Broly!

He had been cultivating diligently on this planet, but upon sensing the ferocious aura of Hearts's group, he rushed over immediately.

"It's Saiyan again! They all deserve to die!"

Because of Qin Feng, the Fused Zamasu had already taken his anger out on the entire Saiyan race. The moment he saw Broly, the killing intent in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Take my life? We'll see if you have the teeth to do it!"

Hearts sneered, his figure blurring into a streak as he hurtled straight toward Broly at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

Broly roared, his aura surging, and he took a fighting stance to face the enemy head-on!

Bang! Smash!

The dull thuds of hand-to-hand combat erupted one after another, stirring up a towering gust of wind!

In terms of physical strength alone, Hearts in his normal state is no match for Broly.

After several rounds of punches, Hearts was not seriously injured, but each hard collision made his arm go numb and his body couldn't help but retreat backward.

Judging from the results of their exchange of fire, Hearts was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Drink it all!!"

Broly clenched his fists, roared furiously to the sky, and his escalating arrogance made Hearts's face turn ugly.

Hearts dared not be presumptuous. He coldly glanced at the thousands of humans lying prostrate at his feet and shouted sternly:

"Then let the lives of you ants be the sacrifice for this battle!"

Boom!

Broly's hair instantly turned golden-green, his eyes became light blue, and his muscles bulged out even more!

The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly, has arrived!

Broly slowly opened his bloodthirsty eyes and stared coldly at Hearts in front of him.

At this moment, Hearts was enveloped in eerie purple flames, radiating a nauseatingly violent aura.

Hearts looked at Broly as if he were looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered:

"Although I hate using this trick, I really have no choice but to use it against you in your current state."

"State your name, or I'll kill nameless ghosts!"

Broly stared intently at Hearts, his expression grave.

The dangerous aura emanating from this guy was somewhat unexpected.

"Damn it... If Mr. Qin Feng were here, this bastard wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"

Broly gritted his teeth, but his Saiyan berserk instincts told him he would never back down!

"You arrogant bastard, die!!"

Broly transformed into a streak of golden-green light, hurtling towards Hearts with unstoppable force!

Hearts parted his lips slightly, slowly raised his hands, and countless purple gravity cubes materialized around him out of thin air.

"Gravity Fist!"

Facing Broly's devastating punch, Hearts's eyes turned cold as he swung his iron fist, imbued with the power of gravity, and slammed it head-on!

In terms of size, Hearts was a whole size smaller than Broly.

But this punch embodies the supreme power of the Universe Seed's rules!

Bang!

The two fists collided, and a blinding wave of purple-gold light exploded wildly!

The Fused Zamasu, Lagss, and the others were forced to squint by the blinding light, and were even shaken by the invisible shockwave that rippled outwards, causing their expressions to change drastically and their bodies to become unsteady!

"Drink it all!!"

Broly's forehead veins bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled with all his might against that incredible gravity rule, remaining locked in a stalemate in mid-air!
