Zeru found himself extremely excited by the possibility.
If things truly developed the way he imagined…
Then one day, he wouldn't merely be invincible within the Dragon Ball world—
He would become invincible across the entire multiverse.
Once his Erasure and Creation abilities evolved to even higher levels…
He might truly stand at the peak of all worlds as the supreme overseer of the multiverse itself.
Of course—
For now, this was merely speculation.
Whether reality would unfold according to his theories remained uncertain.
Notification
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission."
"Reward granted."
"Claim now or delay claim?"
"Now."
Zeru responded immediately before withdrawing his consciousness from the Multiverse Chat Party.
Soon after, he opened his attribute panel.

Looking at his current status panel, Zeru sighed softly.
At his current level, combat power growth had noticeably slowed.
After all—
His base strength had already reached the zetta tier.
If it still doubled every year like before…
Then he'd probably ascend to another level entirely within only a few years.
But now—
Pure combat power no longer represented everything.
At least not for Zeru.
Combat strength was merely the foundation.
If his Platinum-rank Erasure or Creation abilities evolved further…
Then he might no longer need to raise his battle power at all.
Platinum Rank currently couldn't erase beings on the Grand Priest's level.
But anything above Platinum Rank?
That absolutely could.
Three days quietly passed.
That day, Son Goku and the others were gathering at Zeru's home.
However—
Everyone soon sensed something strange.
They quickly walked into the courtyard and looked toward the sky.
There—
A gigantic black vortex had appeared overhead.
"I can clearly feel an evil aura…"
Goku frowned deeply.
Then—
An old voice suddenly echoed through the air.
"Huh?!"
"That's King Kai's voice!"
Goku instantly recognized it.
"Long time no see, King Kai! How've you been lately?"
"Not very well…"
King Kai sounded weak.
"I think I caught a cold…"
But immediately afterward, his tone became serious again.
"Goku! This isn't the time for chatting!"
"Something terrible has happened!"
"What is it, King Kai?"
Goku asked blankly.
"For some unknown reason…"
"Hell and the human world are beginning to connect!"
"What?!"
Goku's expression changed instantly.
He stared at the black vortex overhead.
"You mean…"
"Once Hell fully connects to Earth…"
"All the villains who died before will come back out?"
"Exactly!"
King Kai replied nervously.
But instead of fear—
Goku suddenly became excited.
"In that case…"
"We'll just kill them all again, right?"
King Kai nearly choked.
"Those people can train in Hell too!"
"That means they may have become far stronger than before!"
"In any case, you absolutely must be careful!"
"Relax, relax!"
Goku grinned while patting his chest.
"I'm really strong now too!"
Then he turned toward Zeru.
"Zeru-brother…"
"This time, I hope you won't interfere."
"Sure."
Zeru answered casually.
"I'm not interested in most of those guys anyway."
"However…"
"Whether or not Frieza has evolved further…"
"That's hard to say."
Under normal circumstances, Golden Frieza was roughly comparable to Super Saiyan Blue Goku.
And Super Saiyan 4 corresponded roughly to Super Saiyan Blue in transformation level.
As for why Zeru's earlier Super Saiyan 5 seemed weaker than Blue Goku—
That was because Zeru's base form at the time simply hadn't caught up yet.
To put it simply—
Imagine a Saiyan with only one million combat power in base form.
Even if he could transform into Super Saiyan 5 at that level…
Would he truly rival Super Saiyan Blue Goku?
Obviously not.
After all—
Unlike Goku and Vegeta, Zeru wasn't benefiting from the original author's "protagonist growth."
He didn't originally belong to the Dragon Ball universe.
So during Dragon Ball Super's early stages, Blue Goku naturally surpassed him.
That was perfectly normal.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Goku shot directly into the black vortex overhead.
"Goku!"
Krillin and the others immediately panicked.
"We should follow him."
Piccolo hesitated briefly before flying upward as well.
Soon after—
Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta all entered the vortex too.
"Dad, should we go too?"
Little Princess Su Liuli tugged on Zeru's sleeve.
"Of course."
Zeru grinned.
"I really want to see whether Frieza has improved during all these years in Hell."
"Hopefully he's already become Golden Frieza."
"Otherwise this'll be pretty boring."
In this GT timeline—
Frieza's greatest enemy was no longer Goku.
It was Zeru.
Whoosh!
After speaking, Zeru took Su Liuli's hand and flew into the vortex.
The moment they entered Hell—
They saw Goku confronting several figures.
Dr. Myuu.
Dr. Gero.
Android 17.
And—
Cell.
"Hm?"
Zeru suddenly frowned.
"Where's Frieza?"
He swept his senses across the area.
Nothing.
There was no trace of Frieza's energy nearby.
Which meant—
Frieza hadn't allied himself with Dr. Gero and the others.
Then Zeru suddenly understood.
"That makes sense…"
"If Frieza already achieved Golden Frieza…"
"Then he'd naturally look down on teaming up with people like them."
"And obviously wouldn't cooperate with them."
