A silver-white, sacred Light suddenly burst forth from beneath Broly's waist and a powerful aura surged outward, and for a moment Broly was completely captivated by the silver-white Light.
His dazed and puzzled eyes locked onto that blazing cluster of silver fire. He stretched out his hand, reaching toward that streak of Light, and at that instant, a scorching sensation spread from his fingertips, rushing through his entire body.
"Lowly mortals! Welcome your new god! Two supreme deities have been united as one, prepare to face divine judgment!" The body of Fused Zamasu slowly rose into the air as he spoke in a domineering and arrogant tone, looking down upon everything beneath him.
Bulla raised her gaze toward Fused Zamasu, and soon she noticed something peculiar.
Indeed, in her vision, the appearance of the dark figure from earlier had already changed.
Dangling beneath each of his ears was a shining earring. And that earring was none other than the very Potara Earrings her father and brother had once used to fuse!
Bulla's heart tightened, as anxiety began to flood her chest as her worried eyes darted repeatedly toward Trunks and Gohan. But to her surprise, her brother Trunks didn't look the slightest bit concerned.
Gohan spoke solemnly to Trunks: "Trunks, it looks like things just got a lot more troublesome."
Trunks merely drew in a steady breath, his eyes fixed on Fused Zamasu. Then, once again, he smiled faintly, thinking to himself: (Fused Zamasu, huh? Hmph, I didn't expect even this guy to be spat out by Buu. Hehe… fusion? How foolish. Black Goku alone could grow endlessly stronger without limit. But once they fuse, their strength becomes fixed. In the end, this is nothing more than a desperate gamble from a cornered beast.)
"Mm… Gohan, maybe we should fuse too?" Trunks suggested.
The moment those words left his mouth, Gohan's spirit flared up. Straightening his posture, he spoke firmly and righteously: "I agree, Trunks!"
…
The situation shifted once again, with Fused Zamasu's brand-new visage standing tall in the skies above. Soon, Broly noticed that this stranger bore a resemblance to his Kakarot.
Though his mind wasn't the sharpest, in that instant he recognized that Fused Zamasu was the very same person he had just beaten down.
"Peh!" Broly spat to the ground.
His mocking gaze snapped back to Fused Zamasu as he roared. "Kakarot!!!"
With both feet slamming into the earth, his body crouched slightly, gathering force, then he shot upward like a cannonball. Twisting his body to build momentum, he swung his fist back and, without hesitation, charged straight at Fused Zamasu.
Boom----!
The deafening quake echoed as the Fused Zamasu was caught completely off guard in mid-speech.
Broly's punch forced his words right back down his throat and Fused Zamasu's eyes widened in rage as he clutched his flushed, stinging cheek, roaring: "You brainless fool! Today, this god will erase you from existence!"
Spreading his arms wide, a mysterious halo suddenly appeared behind him.
Waves of sacred energy began gathering in vast quantities. With a powerful sweep of his hands, They poured forth like a torrential storm of deadly blossoms, unleashing indiscriminate attacks upon both the ground and the heavens.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh---!
Boom Boom Boom---!
Explosions consumed the land below, while a massive energy shield quickly rose to resist the destruction. Trunks raised his hand above his head, forming an energy shield that protected everyone within its barrier.
Meanwhile, up in the sky, Broly remained overwhelmingly ferocious. Even as countless lasers rained down upon him, he pressed forward at blinding speed, rushing straight toward Fused Zamasu.
His mouth still roared the same name over and over: "KAKAROT!!"
"Wretch! How dare you look down on a god!!" At that instant, Fused Zamasu suddenly shot toward Broly like a meteor.
His speed was immense, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Broly. Then, with a breathtaking movement, he stretched out his body in a perfect arc across the sky.
All of his power gathered into his right fist, which he then drove mercilessly into Broly's chest. That punch carried infinite energy and destructive force, as though it could rip the very fabric of space apart.
Boom---!
For the first time, he truly possessed the strength to stand against Broly in battle. The two warriors froze in midair, their arms locked, as though forming a straight line.
In the end, Broly managed to block Zamasu's devastating blow. But Broly's savage eyes glared once more at Fused Zamasu, and it was that very glare that made Zamasu erupt in rage.
"Filthy insect! Worthless vermin!" he bellowed. "You Saiyans… all of you must die!!"
"Raaahhhhh!!!"
A dazzling silver-white light erupted as cracks began to spread across Fused Zamasu's face. Along with it, his shimmering silver hair underwent a transformation. The strands spiked upward before cascading down once again, lengthening until they reached his waist.
His power had grown stronger, far beyond what even Trunks had anticipated!
At last, his strength surpassed Broly's.
With a thunderous crash, Broly's body plummeted toward the earth like a falling star.
The tide of battle had shifted yet again and Fused Zamasu finally stood as a dominant force!
In his hands, he conjured pieces of the hardest metal in the universe, Katchin steel.
Like a madman, he hurled them down at Broly.
"Die! Die! Hahaha!!" Maniacal laughter echoed from the sky as Fused Zamasu pressed his advantage.
Just as Broly's body was about to slam into the ground, Zamasu appeared behind him and once again summoned his scythe of energy.
But this time, its blade gleamed silver.
Shhhk---!
The scythe drove deep into Broly's abdomen, spilling the stench of blood into the air. Not even Broly's legendary, battle-hardened body could withstand this attack. The so-called Legendary Super Saiyan was strong, yes, but the current power of Fused Zamasu had eclipsed him.
At last, Broly tasted the meaning of true pain, his anguished wails tearing across the battlefield.
To Zamasu, however, those cries were nothing but a symphony, a melody he savored. He relished every moment of this brutal slaughter.
With every scream, he rhythmically plunged the scythe into Broly's body again and again.
He was mad, repaying the humiliation Broly had inflicted upon him with double the cruelty.
In the end, that silver-white scythe was dyed blood red.
Amidst the apocalypse, the sight grew even more horrifying. And this grisly scene was witnessed clearly by Trunks and Gohan. Watching Broly's body being carved apart by the scythe, Trunks slowly placed his hand upon his forehead.
He was ready to act!
