"Just a casual blow shattered my protective Godly Power... Ten Times Kaio-ken is completely ineffective against this guy..." Son Goku's eyes changed again and again, as if he had made some huge decision.
His life was on the line, he had to go all out.
He could only win this battle, he couldn't lose!
Son Goku adjusted his condition, his whole body tensed, veins bulging, his face twisted as if he was going mad.
The blood energy within his body was further stimulated, this terrifying energy caused violent tremors throughout the world.
"Kaio-ken!! Twenty Times!!!" Son Goku's roar echoed through the sky.
His God Power was also elevated to a terrifying level with the release of the Twenty Times Kaio-ken.
Judging solely from the intensity of his God Power, it had even surpassed Masked Black Goku's peak Super Saiyan Rosé Second Grade.
"Kakarot, that guy... is he out of his mind?!" Vegeta felt the God Power erupting from Kakarot's body and knew that Kakarot was completely going all out.
The burden that Ten Times Kaio-ken placed on the body was already unimaginably great, let alone Twenty Times Kaio-ken.
This rampant God Power was the best representation of that.
"Son Goku... is this your true power? My mastery of this body is far from enough." The Dark Man outside the battlefield felt this heaven-defying God Power, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he said with lingering fear.
He thought that he had perfectly mastered this body after the battle with Son Goku, but now it seemed that he was far, far away from that.
Then, the Dark Man's gaze turned to Masked Black Goku.
He just didn't know if this version of himself, who had defeated ninety-four Son Gokus, could cope with this powerful God Power.
[Uncle Goku...] On the other side, Trunks felt heavy-hearted.
One could imagine the enormous price Son Goku had paid to unleash this power.
"Hmph hmph hmph, Trunks, now is not the time for you to be distracted." Zamasu said with a mocking smile.
...
On the main battlefield.
Masked Black Goku perked up slightly after feeling the God Power that Son Goku had unleashed.
"Twenty Times Kaio-ken? Now that's a little more interesting, I can finally show a little of my true ability, Son Goku." After Masked Black Goku finished speaking, dense, eerie dark particles appeared on the surface of the mask on his face.
The power of the mask was used by him to further stimulate the God Power within his body.
"Yaahhhhh~~~!!!!" Masked Black Goku roared to the sky, the rose-red God Power surrounding him was stimulated again, and under everyone's gaze, his form underwent a transformation.
Rose-red hair reached his waist, evil energy was dense and eerie, and his Battle Power was so terrifying that it reached the level of the Tenth Dimension.
The appearance of this form once again shocked everyone present!
This was... Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage! "Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage... has this guy's transformation reached the same realm as Talot?!" At this moment, even though Son Goku had already used Twenty Times Kaio-ken, he still felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
This was a transformation equivalent to Super Saiyan Blue Third Stage!
"That guy... has he been able to do this much?!" Vegeta was also horrified, the appearance of Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage meant that this battle was destined to be hopeless.
The difference between the realms of transformation and dimensions was too great.
Kakarot... was doomed to lose!
"That Dark Man from another timeline... has actually reached this level?! Damn it!!" Future Trunks' heart trembled violently, and a deep despair enveloped his heart.
He had seen Uncle Talot use the Super Saiyan Blue Third Stage transformation in the past timeline, but the Masked Black Goku in front of him used an even darker Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage!
Didn't this mean that this guy's strength had reached the realm of Uncle Talot?! The gap was too big, and the fighting spirit in Trunks' eyes had been completely lost, and there was no longer any fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Hahahaha~~!! I want that expression, feel the despair of being plunged into the abyss and never being able to climb out again, Trunks, no matter who you call from the past timeline, in the end, you still can't change anything." Zamasu let out a hysterical laugh, severely mocking Trunks' incompetence.
Hearing Zamasu's ridicule, Trunks was furious and immediately erupted his aura to enter Super Saiyan Second Grade.
"Even if I'm no match for that guy, I won't fear you!"
He instantly descended in front of Zamasu, and a fist filled with anger tore through space and slammed out.
Bang~~!! This punch landed firmly on Zamasu's face.
With just one blow, Zamasu's body flew out of control.
But because Zamasu possessed an immortal body, Trunks's Iron Fist, filled with rage, didn't inflict much damage on him.
...
"Impressive, as expected of me from another timeline. After defeating ninety-four Son Gokus, my mastery over this body has even surpassed the original. This is the power we, as gods, should possess!" the Dark Man said with fervor.
The power displayed by Masked Black Goku was precisely the realm he sought.
Since they both possessed Son Goku's body, he believed he could achieve the same!
He could even surpass the power Masked Black Goku currently held! ...
On the battlefield.
Masked Black Goku stood tall between heaven and earth in his Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage form.
Facing him was Son Goku, in his Super Saiyan Deep Blue evolution, amplified by Twenty Times Kaio-ken.
To any discerning eye, the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth.
Masked Black Goku's power had completely surpassed Son Goku! "Damn it!! This guy has developed my body to this extent, but I won't give up!! Even if it costs me my life, I must end you here!!" Son Goku gritted his teeth, gathering all his energy into his right fist.
Judging by his stance, he was aiming for a decisive blow, a full-powered strike! "Oh? Is that your move? Then let me show you how well I've mastered your body. Experience the power of a god!" Masked Black Goku similarly gathered energy, adopting a stance to strike.
Dark, sinister, Rose-colored Godly Power converged in his palm, and boundless God's Pressure erupted from his hands.
As both sides gathered power, the surrounding space warped terrifyingly around them.
When their power reached a certain point, a sharp glint flashed in both their eyes, and they simultaneously transformed into destructive auroras, charging towards each other.
Boom~~!!! The moment their fists collided, the entire world trembled.
The clash of Godly Power unleashed intensely destructive Destruction Light. The terrifying aftershock swept across a hundred miles, leveling everything in its path, and nearly causing Earth to explode under the force of the impact.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Before long, the Destruction Light dissipated completely.
Son Goku and Masked Black Goku remained in their striking poses, their bodies still burning with Godly Power.
It seemed... like a tie?! But was that truly the case?
Masked Black Goku slowly turned around, a mocking smile appearing on his face beneath the mask, as he taunted Son Goku, "How is it? Do you understand the difference in our power now, Son Goku!!"
The moment Masked Black Goku finished speaking, Son Goku's body suddenly began to convulse violently, and the flames of Godly Power around him extinguished completely.
Ptooey~~!! A stream of pure God Blood shot from his mouth.
The Godly Power around Son Goku dissipated, and the bloodlust of Twenty Times Kaio-ken and the power of Super Saiyan Deep Blue evolution vanished at that moment.
He reverted to his Base Form, signifying that the outcome of the battle had been decided.
This was the true power of Masked Black Goku. With just one punch, he had defeated Son Goku's Super Saiyan Deep Blue evolution!
"Kakarot!!" Vegeta, witnessing this scene, had a look of intense horror flash across his eyes.
An attack with Super Saiyan Deep Blue evolution amplified by Twenty Times Kaio-ken had been defeated in an instant.
What a joke?!
After defeating Son Goku, Masked Black Goku turned his gaze, locking onto Vegeta, who was watching the battle from a short distance away.
The mere threat from that single glance caused every cell in Vegeta's body to scream in unison, and an intense warning signal swept through his entire being.
Before Vegeta could transform, Masked Black Goku took the initiative, descending before Vegeta with a speed so great that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.
"Not good!!!" Vegeta felt a sense of impending doom, instinctively wanting to mobilize the Energy Pool within his body to transform, but he was too late.
Masked Black Goku's fist, enveloped in dark Godly Power, had already struck him heavily in the stomach.
Ptooey~~!! Struck by this blow, Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura scattered, his consciousness overwhelmed by darkness, and he collapsed to the ground.
Another one-hit kill!
Clap clap clap~~!!! Just then, a series of crisp clapping sounds came from behind Masked Black Goku.
Masked Black Goku turned around at the sound, and the person clapping was none other than his other self, the Dark Man.
"Your power is the power that truly belongs to a god. Tell me, what must I do to reach your level?!" The Dark Man's desire for power had surpassed everything else in his heart.
He was incredibly eager for power, power that surpassed everything, power that scorned all gods! "It's simple, you just need to familiarize yourself with this body by constantly fighting Son Goku." Masked Black Goku replied calmly.
"Constantly fight Son Goku, huh..." Hearing this, the Dark Man turned his gaze to the fallen Son Goku not far away.
"You mean... let them go?" the Dark Man asked.
"If you want to truly realize the Humanity Zero Plan, you must have powerful strength. They still have value. If you want to become stronger, you must constantly fight. Moreover, if we can defeat them once, we can defeat them a second time, a third time!! Even surpass these originals of theirs forever!!" Masked Black Goku said domineeringly.
That attitude of despising all living beings was the true appearance of a god.
These words immediately resonated with the Dark Man.
"Hehehehe... Hahahahaha~~!! As expected of me from another timeline, your thoughts, your understanding, have reached a level far beyond mine. What I want to do is not just plunge humanity into the abyss, but also let them see what kind of effect their bodies will have in the hands of a god!" the Dark Man replied with a look of madness.
Clearly, he really wanted to eat the pie that Masked Black Goku had drawn for him.
Little did he know that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap that Masked Black Goku had carefully prepared for him.
...
Meanwhile, on Trunks' side.
After sensing Son Goku and Vegeta's auras plummeting like a cliff, despair had quietly arrived.
Trunks didn't know what to do for a moment.
Besides Zamasu, there were also the Dark Man and Masked Black Goku.
Could it be that they were really going to die here today? "Long time no see, Trunks." The Dark Man's voice came from behind Trunks at this moment.
"When?!" Trunks' hair stood on end, and he turned around and threw a punch at the fastest speed, but was hit in the stomach by the Dark Man's heavy punch.
This punch made Trunks feel like he was about to die.
Under this blow, he couldn't even maintain Super Saiyan, and completely lost his ability to fight.
Seeing this, the Dark Man grabbed Trunks' hair with one hand, lifted him up, and slapped him back and forth.
After teasing Trunks fiercely, he threw him aside.
At this moment, Trunks' heart was full of hatred and anger.
He wanted to take revenge, but he was powerless.
He couldn't kill Zamasu, who had an immortal body, he couldn't beat the Dark Man in Super Saiyan Rosé, and he couldn't possibly defeat Masked Black Goku in Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage! Is the future world really going to be finished?
Trunks was now ready to face death.
But what he didn't expect was that the Dark Man didn't kill him.
"Get lost, Trunks, live on in despair and fear, and then come to the future world for me to enjoy. When I'm tired of playing, it will be your death." The Dark Man sneered.
"Oh? Aren't we going to kill him?" Zamasu asked in surprise.
"No need, he's just an ant. We'll need them to help us become stronger in the future. It would be a pity to kill them like this. This is also what the other us means, to give them a chance." The Dark Man replied.
"The other us' meaning?" Zamasu frowned and turned his gaze to Masked Black Goku, who had already released his Super Saiyan Rosé Third Stage transformation.
The three understood each other, and in the next second, they immediately used Instant Transmission and disappeared from the spot.
And Trunks, who was humiliated but survived, could only suppress the anger in his heart and take out the Time Machine sealed in the Capsule Corp again.
Finally, he brought back the seriously injured Son Goku and Vegeta, started the Time Machine, and returned to the past timeline.
