"What?"
Seeing Lin Chen play the victim when he was the one at fault, the Zamasus grew frantic, their eyes reddening.
Before they could refute him, however, Zeno spoke. "That really makes me angry."
"L-Lord Zeno!"
"N-no! We..."
Seeing white light flare in Zeno's little hand, one Zamasu immediately realized it was already too late to say anything.
"Run! Hurry, run!"
"Get out of this world!"
The Zamasus immediately raised their hands, trying to turn their Time Rings. But at that moment, they discovered to their horror that the rings crumbled into powder and vanished as they moved.
"What's going on?!"
"It's that woman! This has to be her doing!"
"No! Why do we have to be here..."
"Disappear!"
With that childlike voice, the white light released from Zeno's hand swallowed every Zamasu before him.
These Zamasus were hardly weak in terms of strength alone. One of them had even stolen Jiren's body.
Yet before Zeno's power, none of them could offer the slightest resistance. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Lin Chen was profoundly shaken by Zeno's power.
Before someone on Zeno's level, he was still far, far too weak.
And so, in the end, Zeno still personally destroyed Zamasu.
Unlike the story Lin Chen remembered, however, this time Zeno did not erase Trunks's world along with him.
Still, after the havoc Zamasu had wreaked, Trunks's world was riddled with devastation and lay barren.
What became of this world in the future would likely depend on Trunks putting in some serious effort.
For Lin Chen, though, those concerns could wait. His immediate priority was figuring out how to handle someone as powerful as Zeno.
Otherwise, one careless mistake could leave him sharing Zamasu's fate.
"Lord Zeno, thank you for helping."
"Mm-mm."
