Dragon Ball: Collaborating with Frieza to Destroy Planet Vegeta

Chapter 193: Zamasu of the Present Timeline!

At this moment, Mu Chuan's desire to fight had reached its peak. However, he was well aware that with his current strength, he was no match for any of the Gods of Destruction.

His interest in confronting a God of Destruction wasn't directed at Beerus. In his opinion, Beerus was arguably the strongest among all Supreme Kais in terms of combat prowess. Yet, Beerus had a habit of holding back during battles, which made Mu Chuan lose all motivation to engage him.

Standing nearby, Trunks listened to their conversation, feeling somewhat perplexed. Nevertheless, he understood one thing clearly: this was something incredible.

Training with a God of Destruction? And mastering such a unique power? That was truly impressive!

Trunks couldn't help but feel a deep longing—if only he could possess such overwhelming combat strength, his future world would never have fallen into such ruin.

Ultimately, it all came down to his lack of strength.

"If I get the chance, it would be best to improve my strength here in this timeline. By the time my power grows stronger, the time machine should be operational again."

"Only with great strength can I protect the people I wish to protect."

Trunks decided that once all the current crises were resolved, he would stay in this timeline to train. At the very least, he needed to become much stronger.

This train of thought inevitably made him think about his parents.

However…

This timeline was quite strange, not at all like the one he knew. He had no idea where his parents were right now, and since events had already changed, he wondered—would he even be born in this timeline?

Although he knew this was a parallel world, a swirl of complicated emotions still lingered in his heart.

While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, they eventually arrived at Universe 10. Whis led the group to the Sacred World of the Kais within Universe 10.

Currently, there were only two individuals present in the Sacred World of the Kais—one was the active Supreme Kai, and the other was his apprentice.

As soon as Gowasu saw Beerus and his companions, he quickly approached them with a warm greeting.

"Lord Beerus?"

"What a rare occasion! I never expected to see you here. I am truly honored!"

Though Gowasu appeared elderly, he was still in fairly good condition, exuding an aura of kindness and friendliness.

Beerus exchanged pleasantries with him, but without wasting too much time, he got straight to the point.

"I'm here to meet Zamasu."

"Zamasu?" Gowasu was puzzled. Why had Beerus traveled all this way just to see Zamasu?

Zamasu was, after all, the apprentice he had chosen as his successor. The reason Gowasu valued Zamasu so highly was due to his extraordinary talent for combat—a rare trait among Supreme Kais, whose powers were typically not centered on fighting.

In fact, Zamasu's abilities defied the conventions of what a Supreme Kai should be capable of. He was truly a combat prodigy.

However, Gowasu was also aware that Zamasu seemed to harbor certain internal issues, which he was working to address gradually.

What puzzled Gowasu the most now was why Beerus, from Universe 7, had gone to such lengths to come here.

Despite his confusion, Gowasu did not refuse the request.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Beerus. I'll summon Zamasu right away."

As soon as Gowasu finished speaking, a figure gradually emerged from the distance. The figure moved with a composed gait, showing no signs of urgency.

Everyone's expressions tightened. Both Mu Chuan and Trunks locked their eyes on the approaching figure. Although the appearance and aura felt somewhat different, that familiar sensation was unmistakable—it had to be him.

The two exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes, they detected a trace of solemnity. After all, if this Zamasu was indeed Goku Black, then things were far from ordinary.

"I never expected... that Goku Black would turn out to be a Supreme Kai. No wonder his strength is so overwhelming, and he views all mortals as nothing more than insects," Trunks said, clenching his teeth in anger.

"This kind of person is despicable!"

Even though the Zamasu before him hadn't destroyed the future world, Trunks knew that this version shared the same ideology.

If given the chance to grow stronger, there was no doubt he would rally his power and plunge the entire world into chaos and destruction.

This left Trunks torn—should he make a move now?

However, just as Trunks was about to act, Mu Chuan gently patted his shoulder, signaling him to relax.

"Don't get too worked up. Even if he is the one, it's not your fight."

"I'll take care of everything."

Trunks glanced at Mu Chuan, then gave a silent nod. He continued watching the slowly approaching figure, scrutinizing every detail.

There were differences from Goku Black, yet the aura and posture were strikingly similar. It was hard to be certain, but the resemblance was undeniable.

"New guests in the Sacred World of the Kais?" Zamasu said as he finally noticed the group. "I suppose I should prepare some tea to entertain them."

Just as he was about to carry out this gesture, Gowasu intervened.

"Zamasu, come here at once. The God of Destruction from Universe 7 wishes to meet you."

At Gowasu's words, Zamasu froze briefly before regaining his composed demeanor. He then slowly approached the group, exuding an air of calmness.

"I am Zamasu. What business does the esteemed God of Destruction from Universe 7 have with me?"

Beerus silently sized Zamasu up, saying nothing. From the moment he laid eyes on him, Beerus was almost certain—this was Goku Black. The aura matched perfectly.

But what could have driven him to commit such heinous acts? It was beyond comprehension.

Still, Beerus wasn't interested in speaking further—he had already accomplished what he came here to do.

"Mu Chuan, it's your turn," Beerus said flatly.

As Whis had explained earlier, battles between gods were forbidden, let alone killing one another. Even though Zamasu was only an apprentice, he was still officially recognized as a candidate for Supreme Kai.

Similarly, Mu Chuan was in training to become a future God of Destruction. Both were apprentices, each destined to succeed their respective mentors.

With Beerus's words, Mu Chuan locked eyes with Zamasu. In that instant, time seemed to freeze between them.
