c97: Zamasu and Black Goku Gather Together
Boom!
Amidst a series of anguished screams, a figure was hurled through several abandoned buildings, demolishing them in a cascade of rubble and steel.
"Uncle Goku!" Trunks shouted in alarm as he watched Son Goku being overwhelmed once again.
He had initially believed that Goku and Goku Black were evenly matched. But to his shock, Black's power was far superior and what was truly terrifying was how Black continued to evolve mid-battle, his power seemingly without limits!
"Hahaha! Lowly mortals no matter how much godly power they steal will always remain beneath us divine beings," Black Goku sneered, floating calmly in midair.
Haaaa!
Suddenly, a burst of ki flared, and Goku surged back into the fray, launching a relentless assault on Black Goku!
Black dodged nimbly. "Still resisting? Good. Fighting you primitive Saiyans is my amusement."
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Their fists collided in a series of sonic clashes. Their battlefield moved from the broken earth to the sky, leaving shockwaves that demolished nearby ruins.
"Goku's power… has it caught up to Black's?!" Trunks asked, eyes wide.
"No… not quite," Vegeta muttered hoarsely.
"Dad?" Trunks turned quickly toward Vegeta.
Vegeta, still lying among the rubble, struggled to open his eyes. "Kakarot… he can't win."
"What?! That's impossible!" Trunks exclaimed in disbelief.
Wham!
Just then, as Goku wound up both fists for a double punch, Black Goku drove a crushing knee into his gut, nearly making him vomit from the force of the blow.
"Tch… Super Saiyan Blue? Is this really all it amounts to?" Black Goku mocked with a cold laugh.
"Damn you!!!" Goku shouted, his rage igniting a fresh surge of energy. He broke free from Black's hold and launched a punch.
Smack!
Black calmly blocked with one hand, dropped low, and countered with a devastating punch to Goku's abdomen. Goku coughed blood and screamed as Black followed up with a sharp knife-hand strike to the back of his neck.
Boom!
The force cratered the earth where Goku landed. He clenched his teeth, trying to lift himself. "His strength… it keeps growing…"
More than Hit. Stronger than Jiren in the Tournament of Power. Goku Black wasn't just adapting he was evolving.
Black Goku descended gracefully onto a nearby high-rise ruin, smirking. "Look at you. Try as you might, you'll never surpass me."
Goku struggled to rise, but his body refused. The pain radiating through him made it nearly impossible to gather enough ki.
"Okay then. No more warm-up. Let's end this, Son Goku." Black raised his hand, channeling a swirling orb of green energy crackling with chaotic divine ki and dark power. Its appearance alone made the air vibrate.
"No… I can't lose… not here… not yet!" Goku tried to rise again but staggered under the pain.
"Uncle Goku!" Trunks shouted and leapt up, preparing to intervene.
"Damn… it…" Vegeta gritted his teeth. His pride was in tatters. He had been defeated almost instantly, stabbed by Goku Black's blade before even unleashing his full power. The so-called "Prince of All Saiyans" was lying broken, unable to move.
Black Goku aimed the green sphere at Goku and Trunks. "Time for the mortals to be purged."
Just then—
Crack!
A sudden rift tore open in the sky, divine light spilling out. A commanding voice echoed through the air.
"That's far enough! I will not permit this slaughter!"
"Who?!" Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta turned their gazes upward, faces filled with surprise and dread.
Black Goku raised his eyes, then smirked. "Ah. Right on cue."
From the tear in the sky, a figure descended slowly. Elegant, calm, and radiating divine authority. He wore Supreme Kai robes, had pale green skin, and Potara earrings an unmistakable figure.
"No way… that's—" Goku stared in disbelief.
"Zamasu!!"
"What?!" Trunks and Vegeta echoed, stunned.
Indeed, it was Zamasu, the former Supreme Kai apprentice of Universe 10. His eyes were serene, but his presence exuded cold malice.
Zamasu floated down beside Black Goku, casting a calm look toward the wounded warriors. "You're making quite a mess," he said coolly to Black.
"Yo. Took you long enough," Black replied with a grin.
"If I hadn't shown up," Zamasu said with a chilling calm, "would you have disobeyed our plan and destroyed them now?"
Black shrugged with a mocking smile. "Maybe. Maybe not."
"I told you before—Son Goku is mine to deal with," Zamasu said, his voice firm.
Black raised his hands in mock surrender. "Fine, fine. Be my guest."
"Zamasu! Why are you here?! Are you seriously working with Black Goku?!" Goku demanded.
Back during his visit to Universe 10, Goku had fought Zamasu once testing him on a hunch after sensing something off. At that time, he never imagined Zamasu and Goku Black were working together. But now, the truth was undeniable.
"Yes, we meet again, Son Goku," Zamasu said with a thin smile, though his eyes held contempt and seething hatred.
Goku struggled upright and glared. "You owe us an explanation!"
Zamasu sneered. "Very well. Here's your explanation: I will annihilate every one of you and wipe out the entire human race."
"What?! You're insane!" Goku shouted.
"Haha! And who are you, a mere mortal, to judge the acts of a god?" Zamasu laughed darkly. "In fact, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here now."
Indeed, it was because of witnessing Goku's power in the Tournament between Universe 6 and 7 that Zamasu's twisted ideology had taken root. It shook his belief in the divine order.
Driven by this crisis of faith, Zamasu visited Zuno, extracted the knowledge of the Super Dragon Balls, and used them to swap bodies with Goku thus creating Goku Black. He then killed his own master, Gowasu, and the gods of his timeline. There was no turning back.
"Because of you, I realized the truth. Mortals are inherently flawed. They taint existence. And now... Project Zero Mortals is nearly complete."
The purge of humanity has begun.
