The two quickly engaged in combat, both carefully controlling the power of their aftershocks.
Gohan was afraid of harming Earth, and Goku Black was similar; his goal wasn't to destroy the planet, but to eliminate the lowly mortals on it!
The moment they clashed, Gohan was at a disadvantage, almost completely overwhelmed, but thankfully he managed to hold on.
At that moment, a figure dressed in the same style of clothing as Goku Black was watching quietly from a distance, concealing his presence.
The mysterious man's tall hair was piled up; if Gohan could spot him, he would definitely recognize who he was.
Meanwhile, in Goku's home in another timeline.
The group was gathered together having a barbecue; it had been almost half a year since their last get-together.
Just as Goku was about to pick up a skewer of grilled beef, Time Machine suddenly appeared in the sky.
boom!!
The Time Machine crashed near the group, raising a cloud of dust, but fortunately the food was not affected.
Everyone was startled, but they quickly realized, wasn't that Trunks ' Time Machine? How did it reappear?
Could it be that another insurmountable enemy has appeared in the Future Timeline?
"Uncle Goku!"
As the hatch opened, a man with golden hair hurriedly flew towards Goku.
Seeing Trunks' anxious look, Goku frowned slightly. He figured it was about time for that scumbag Zamasu to make his appearance.
"What's causing this panic? Could it be that the person I mentioned before has appeared?"
"Yes! That person has the same face as you! He's incredibly strong. Gohan is holding him off, but he's probably no match for him. Uncle Goku, let's hurry! I'm worried something might happen to Gohan if we delay any longer!" Trunks said anxiously as he landed in front of Goku.
"Huh? Gohan's holding back? Then let's get going!"
Goku nodded quickly; he was also worried about Gohan's safety in that timeline.
"You guys eat first, I'll be right back." Goku said to the others, then disappeared into this space-time with Trunks.
Beerus and Whis, among the crowd, looked completely bewildered. They glanced at Kid Trunks and then thought back to the face of the man they had just seen.
Hiss~
That kid is from the future?
"Hey! Was that Future Trunks just now?" Beerus asked Bulma, who was standing nearby.
"Of course."
Trunks, standing to the side, was somewhat shocked; he had never heard the adults mention this before.
That wasn't what he cared about; rather, he was somewhat jealous of his future self, because Mai was gazing at him with infatuation!
The Pilaf Gang were also at the party; they had long since abandoned their evil ways.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention, they're just like teenagers now.
Perhaps it was the turning of the gears of fate that caused them to shrink more than ten years ago, even without the Dragon Ball.
An accident during Pilaf's experiment caused them to revert to youth.
As for how the three of them ended up at the party?
This is a long story, but to put it simply: even after they shrunk, they didn't give up searching for the Dragon Ball, but Goku's power made them afraid to search.
Several years ago, before Kami and Piccolo Fusion, they finally couldn't resist and used the Dragon Radar to find the first Dragon Ball.
But after the King Piccolo, Goku learned his lesson and imbued the Dragon Ball with his own ki, so he could sense if anyone got hold of them.
When Goku noticed this, he wondered why the trio had shrunk, so he used his Power of Time to observe them.
After getting the cause and effect he wanted, he called the three little ones over and asked them to bring the trio back.
Trunks is, after all, his nephew. The wheels of fate have already turned, just like those of Gohan and Videl back then.
I'll just go with the flow and give it a push.
He wasn't particularly bothered by the age difference between Trunks and Mai; weren't their biological ages about the same?
And true love will last forever.
A thousand years from now, won't they only be a few decades apart?
After the three little ones captured the trio, they immediately abandoned their evil ways and turned to the light under Goku's harmonious smile.
He directly expressed his desire to join Capsule Corporation, and Bulma agreed.
Pilaf's research abilities are quite impressive; how could Bulma possibly turn away such a genius?
To be honest, Pilaf is a bit stubborn. With his research abilities, he could easily live a life of luxury anywhere he goes, so why is he so obsessed with the Dragon Ball?
After shrinking, not only did they become smaller physically, but they also seemed to be affected psychologically. Since joining the Capsule Corporation, the trio and the three little ones have started playing together instead.
Therefore, they also attended the gathering.
In a way, Pilaf and Shu also benefited from Mai's fame.
Getting back to the main point, after resolving one question, Beerus had another one.
How did he get to this time and space?
"Through the Time Machine I invented."
Beerus was speechless upon hearing Bulma's words. What was he supposed to say?
"This... Bulma, do you know that manipulating time is a serious crime? According to the rules, I should be the one to stop you." Beerus was somewhat amused and exasperated.
If it were someone she didn't know, she would have ruined it herself, but since it was Bulma, what could she do?
What? Someone just appeared?
How come I didn't see it?
Didn't Goku also go to the toilet?
Rules are rules, but people are flexible.
"Huh? Really?" Bulma was a little surprised, but she wasn't scared.
Beerus won't do anything to her, so what does she have to be afraid of?
"Yes, Bulma," Whis nodded from the side.
" Lord Beerus, will you ruin me?" Bulma asked Beerus playfully.
Beerus's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, so he simply turned his head away and ignored it.
Seeing this, Bulma stopped being mischievous and quickly began to explain.
"Haha, Lord Beerus, just kidding. Actually, this Time Machine can't really be said to have been created by me. It was created by the me from that other Time Machine."
"Of course, I can make them too, but there's no need." Bulma's face was full of arrogance.
In scientific research, she would never admit to being inferior to anyone, including herself!
"Tch!" Beerus said in a low voice, his tone full of disdain.
