"That guy looks just like Vegeta!" Tien's brows knitted tightly.
"It's like the Saiyans invading Earth all over again…" Yamcha's heart turned ice-cold. "I don't even know if Goku can make it back in time this time…"
"I am Super Baby!"
A silver-haired man looked down on everything with a cruel, evil smile.
"Just give me time to parasitize all life in the universe, and that guy named Levos will be nothing but an ant!"
A terrifying pressure spread out and blanketed the entire battlefield.
"What monstrous ki…" The Earth fighters' hearts sank into despair in an instant.
Super Baby's gaze shifted toward Salza and the others not far away.
"I heard there are plenty of strong fighters in this world. I can't wait to take their bodies and rule the entire universe!"
He vanished in a flash then a single punch sent Salza's trio vomiting blood as they were blasted backward.
Next, he seized Bio-Broly by the throat and forced a bizarre gray sludge into the wound, letting it worm its way inside.
The savage, frenzied Bio-Broly fell silent in the blink of an eye. His lips curled upward.
"So this Saiyan body is this interesting…"
Boom!
An even more violent ki erupted. Bio-Broly threw his head back and roared.
"I will rebuild the Tuffle civilization! I will become the King of the Universe!"
Immediately after, Super Baby and Bio-Broly locked onto their next target Little Cell.
"King of the Universe?" Omega Shenron snorted. "Mechikabura-sama isn't giving you much time."
Suddenly, his expression twisted into utter shock then into wild delight.
"I can feel Dragon Ball negative energy in this world… and it's terrifying!"
"Who was it?! Who abused the Dragon Balls so recklessly?!"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable HAHAHAHA!"
Omega Shenron laughed until his mouth nearly split to his ears.
"I was born by absorbing the Dragon Balls' negative energy. It's my power source!"
"Power! My power is growing every second!"
"In this world, I am invincible!"
"This is my true form standing at the apex of all Shadow Dragons!"
Omega Shenron's skin darkened. Dark purple flames surged around him as he slammed a fist into the ground.
RUMBLE !
Mountains collapsed. The earth convulsed. Deep, flaming-red chasms tore open like wounds with no bottom.
Just one casual strike nearly blew the entire planet apart.
The Earth fighters clenched their fists, unwilling to accept it.
Especially Tien and Yamcha who felt a suffocating helplessness crushing down on them.
In front of enemies like this… they were less than dust.
Why was it that every villain could become this strong?!
Why was Earth always drowning in disaster?!
They didn't want to admit it but this time, Earth might vanish for good.
And the entire universe might be dragged into something even worse.
A new catastrophe had begun.
Everyone could tell: SSJ4 Black's two teammates were no ordinary threats.
Even from their brief self-introductions, the terror of their strength was obvious.
And unlike Zamasu these monsters still had their own bodies, meaning they could fully unleash everything they were built for.
"Chiaotzu, take Gohan and go! I'll cover you!" Tien barked.
"No, Tien!" Chiaotzu screamed.
"Solar Flare!"
"Neo Tri-Beam!"
Chiaotzu swallowed his grief and rushed to pull the badly injured Gohan out of the battle.
But Gohan refused decisive, absolute.
"In this situation… if we don't fight, we don't live!"
"Gohan's right," Yamcha said, jaw clenched. "We… don't have a retreat anymore!"
Yamcha, the Gamma androids, and the others all gathered at Gohan's side.
"Even if we can only take down one of them!"
"Dodon Ray!"
"Spirit Ball!"
"Gamma Blaster!"
"Kamehameha !"
No one held back. No one spared their stamina.
They all unleashed everything focusing their barrage on the one who looked "weakest":
SSJ4 Black.
"Unforgivable!"
"We will never let Zamasu go!"
"Black has to die!"
The fused warrior joined the concentrated assault as well.
Vortices appeared around SSJ4 Black, swallowing the attacks and redirecting them away.
"How?!"
"Our attacks… got erased that easily?!"
SSJ4 Black's lips curved.
"A bunch of idiots who never learn."
"Must I grind you into dust with my power before you understand…?"
"I stand far above you."
"Across time, crushing history."
"After battling hundreds of Son Gokus across countless timelines… I have completely mastered this body."
His lion-mane hair shifted into a deeper red
And a dazzling divine halo appeared behind him.
Kibito's pupils shook violently.
"His divine power… it's beyond Fused Zamasu…"
The Earth fighters were numb. Beyond fear, beyond rage only emptiness remained.
On King Kai's planet, King Kai covered his face in agony.
"It's over… Earth is finished for real. We can't reach Levos or Goku at all…"
"From this moment onward," SSJ4 Black declared, "for the sake of justice every Earthling will be eradicated!"
As his voice fell
Countless dense beams rained from the sky, pouring down on everyone.
"AAAAAHHHH!"
The Earth fighters were pierced again and again, dropping one by one.
Tien spat blood, his breath paper-thin, teetering on death.
"Gohan… run…"
Clutching his severed arm, Gohan stared blankly at the fallen friends in front of him.
That old helplessness returned clear as yesterday.
Just like before, his strength was tiny in the face of the enemy.
In the end, nothing could be changed.
No one could be saved.
Not his friends.
Not his world.
Rolling… rolling…
A head tossed by Mr. Satan from behind a boulder rolled right up to Gohan's feet.
Android 16 gave a bitter smile.
"Gohan… the nature and animals I love…"
"I'm leaving them… to you."
"The enemy is too strong… and my tail…" Scalding tears spilled from Gohan's eyes. "There's… no hope left…"
"Hope never disappears," 16 said softly. "Yes, the enemy is strong. But Levos said your potential is the greatest among us."
"Do you believe him…?"
[You must never lose. Even if it costs your life!]
Gohan's bloodshot eyes flared with light.
His spine straightened again.
SSJ4 Black watched, sneering.
"Such pathetic power… and you dare challenge a god?"
"Today, I will slaughter every Earthling "
"to correct the mistake of a god who refused to admit defeat."
"And then… I will butcher every god in the universe!"
"All truths of creation captured within my gaze!"
"Godhood… requires only one."
Sh-sh-sh !
Several energy beams punched straight through Gohan's body.
[Even if I only have one arm… I will do it. I have to!]
Gohan collapsed then forced himself up again, his eyes burning with stubborn resolve.
"An ant who doesn't know his place!"
SSJ4 Black lifted a foot and stomped down hard driving Gohan deep into the earth.
The stomp cracked the world itself. A geyser of magma blasted into the sky.
[I will surpass the limit! Surpass myself surpass the limits of Saiyans!]
Gohan burst through the magma, raising his head to meet SSJ4 Black's gaze.
"A mortal's will how could it ever compare to my hatred of humanity?"
"You filthy, inferior creatures… deserve only destruction!"
SSJ4 Black formed a blade of ki and thrust it through Gohan's chest.
Gohan's body slammed into the ground.
"No! Gohan!"
