Rayden patted Son Gohan gently on the shoulder."Gohan, your heart's not in the fight anymore. Let Broly and me take it from here. Go back and check on Piccolo."Gohan nodded with a small smile. "Alright. I'll leave it to you both."With that, he vanished using Instant Transmission."So… this is the famous Rayden," Zamasu murmured, eyes narrowing in surprise. "Just like the Zamasu from the main timeline said… his strength is terrifying. He deflected my attack like it was nothing."Zamasu gritted his teeth. "It's a shame… A body this powerful, yet I can't claim it through the Super Dragon Balls."Rayden narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. "Zamasu, there's something I've always wondered.""Oh?"Though confused, Zamasu couldn't help but ask, "What is it?""Don't you hate humans?" Rayden asked slowly. "Why would you use the Super Dragon Balls to take a human's body?"Zamasu froze.Rayden continued, "It doesn't make sense. No one willingly becomes what they despise. So why become human?"The question struck deep.Zamasu stood motionless, lost in thought.After a moment of silence, he answered coldly, "You humans... all you do is wage war and glorify violence. How can such destructive creatures be worthy of this power? This body… it should be under the command of a god."Rayden shook his head and smiled faintly. "Then let's see how well a god can handle Broly's power."Swish!In a flash, Rayden appeared in front of Zamasu and struck him hard in the abdomen."AGHH!"Zamasu spat blood and was sent flying, crashing through the air before regaining his balance."H-How is he so fast?!"He hovered mid-air, disbelief etched across his face. He hadn't even seen Rayden move.Rayden floated calmly, arms crossed, a smirk on his lips."So much for divine power. I expected more from someone who inherited Broly's body and fought against Gohan.""You insolent mortal!" Zamasu roared, humiliated. "You dare mock a god?!"Fueled by rage, Zamasu soared upward. The divine halo behind him gleamed, expanding into a glowing ring of holy light. Several small red orbs condensed behind his back, each humming with divine energy."Blade of Judgment!"With a mighty yell, the red orbs transformed into massive blades and rained down toward Rayden.Without flinching, Rayden summoned energy around him, forming a shield of pure Ki. Then, ignoring the incoming attack, he dashed forward.BOOM! BANG!The divine blades collided with his energy shield, creating thunderous explosions—but they failed to penetrate his defense."What?!" Zamasu gasped. "My divine technique couldn't even scratch him?!"A cold shiver ran down his spine.Rayden raised both hands into the air, and a glowing purple-red energy scythe materialized in his grasp.Swish!He vanished again—then reappeared right in front of Zamasu, slashing downward."AGHH!"Zamasu had no time to react. The scythe cleaved clean through him, splitting him in half.Slash! Slash! Slash!Rayden continued his relentless assault, slicing Zamasu into dozens of bloody fragments.Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, he hurled the energy scythe aside and summoned a Ki blast in his right hand.BOOM!The blast exploded across Zamasu's scattered remains, vaporizing them instantly.Swish!Broly appeared beside Rayden using Instant Transmission, looking around cautiously."Rayden, now that Zamasu's been dealt with, let's head back.""Wait."Rayden raised a hand, stopping him.Broly frowned. "What is it?"Rayden smiled faintly. "Zamasu isn't gone yet."Broly blinked. "What are you talking about? You just blasted him to pieces. I can't even sense his presence."Rayden was about to explain when the space around them began to distort.From every corner of the cosmos, thick waves of black, evil energy gathered. The darkness condensed into a humanoid silhouette, pulsing with menace.Suddenly, a blinding flash of purple-black light erupted from the figure, forcing Rayden and Broly to shield their eyes.When the light faded, Zamasu stood before them once again—smirking, whole, and unharmed."So he really did retain his immortality after merging…" Broly muttered, realization dawning. "Good thing you stopped me. If he'd escaped, the consequences would've been disastrous.""HAHAHA!"Zamasu threw his head back in wild laughter, then sneered at the two warriors."Stronger than me? So what?! You can't kill me!"Broly's fists clenched."Then I'll just keep beating you until you beg for death!"He shot forward, fists blazing with fury.BANG! BANG!Broly's powerful punches hammered Zamasu's face over and over. The air echoed with each impact."Damn you!"Zamasu formed a hand blade with his right hand and tried to strike Broly's torso.CLANG!The blade hit Broly's chest—and stopped, as if it had struck reinforced steel."W-What?!"Broly didn't flinch. He ignored the attack entirely and continued his onslaught."AHH! AHH!"Zamasu howled in agony, unable to withstand the force behind Broly's punches.After a minute of brutal punishment, Broly finally stepped back, panting."Huff… huff… huff…"Zamasu, now a broken mess of swollen limbs and torn flesh, slumped in the air."Damn… humans...!"Swish!Rayden appeared directly above him and brought down a hammering punch."AGH!"Zamasu was sent crashing downward.Rayden raised his right hand, gathering a massive ball of energy."Planet Destroyer Bomb!"BOOM!The explosion lit up the sky as half of Zamasu's body was blown to bits.Rayden raised an eyebrow. "Still not enough, huh? Your endurance has gotten better."He lowered his stance, cupped his hands at his waist, and began gathering energy."Kamehameha!!!"A massive blue beam roared through space and hit Zamasu dead-on, disintegrating what was left of his body.But it wasn't over.Once again, black mist gathered.Dark energy streamed from every direction, coalescing into a human-shaped figure.And once again… Zamasu returned.This time, however, he didn't attack. He floated calmly before Rayden and Broly.With a sly smile, he spoke."Rayden… I've been thinking."Broly narrowed his eyes. "Thinking?"Zamasu nodded and continued, voice now unusually composed."You are both powerful… far beyond any mortal I've encountered. Even among the gods, such strength is rare."Rayden said nothing.Zamasu opened his arms, as if offering peace."So I ask you—why not join me? Become my subordinates."Broly scoffed. "You want us to serve you?""After we complete the Human Zero Project and wipe out the filth that pollutes the multiverse, we'll create a new divine future. In that world, you two will be second only to me—the supreme emperor. You'll have power, status, and eternal life."He gave them a calm, almost inviting smile."No more pointless wars. No more chaos. Just divine order. We could rule."Rayden remained silent for a moment.Then, he burst out laughing."You really are insane."
