A Journey to The Future

"Unbelievable! Is this truly Goku's son, Goten? Such power is astounding, capable of defeating Black in a blink! Even Goku and Gohan shouldn't be able to achieve this!"

In that moment, Trunks was utterly stunned and deeply shocked. His heart was in turmoil.

Who would have thought that such immense power was concealed within Goten! And this power could evidently annihilate Black in an instant! The foe had escaped just now, primarily due to a momentary lapse.

Recovering from his shock, Trunks immediately implored Goten, "Goten, could you journey to the future timeline to help us deal with Black? With your power, you can utterly obliterate him!"

He had witnessed Goten's power firsthand. More importantly, Goten hadn't undergone any Saiyan transformations. Merely using his base strength, he had instantly incapacitated Black. He had even nearly killed him!

If he transformed into a Super Saiyan, Trunks couldn't fathom how formidable he would become.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to take a look! That guy was truly bothersome. If I don't eliminate him, I'll feel uneasy."

Goten agreed without hesitation. Black had indeed irritated him, especially his malevolent demeanor.

Of course, the most crucial factor was his desire to venture to the future timeline for Zamasu's immortal body.

Although when one's power reached a certain level, Zamasu's Immortal body wouldn't be of much use. But at this stage, it could still yield unexpected benefits.

"Thank…thank you!!"

Trunks was taken aback by Goten's ready agreement and hastily expressed his gratitude. Now the future timeline could be saved. The surviving humans finally wouldn't have to face death. They finally wouldn't have to live in fear.

"Mom, could you assist me in generating some energy for the time machine?"

"Because in our future timeline, resources are extremely scarce, and my mother there had exhausted several years, but only managed to accumulate enough energy for this trip."

Trunks turned to Bulma again and pleaded. It was estimated that on Earth, only Bulma could generate the energy for the time machine.

"Well, leave this matter to me! Return to the future timeline, and then completely eradicate those villains!"

Bulma also nodded earnestly. After all, the Trunks before her was also her son. She naturally didn't want her son to live in such a harsh environment.

Soon Bulma began working on a power source for the time machine.

Having previously interacted with the time machine, she had nearly deciphered the energy principle of the time machine.

Moreover, the Earth in this timeline hadn't suffered too much devastation. Therefore, many materials required for creating time machine energy could be easily procured.

......

After about three hours.

Whis returned to Bulma's house, having packed a lot of delicacies.

"Goten, Krillin, let's return!" Whis declared. After all, his primary purpose for visiting Earth was to savor and pack delicious food.

Now that it was accomplished, there was no need to linger on Earth. And if Beerus couldn't locate him upon waking, he would probably be nagging again.

"Whis, why don't you return by yourself this time?"

"There are other matters on Earth that I need to investigate." Goten addressed Whis.

"Hmm??"

"Other matters? Is it related to that boy? He doesn't seem to be from this timeline."

Whis glanced at Trunks, and just by looking, he knew that Trunks did not belong to this timeline. An Angel's abilities far surpassed their imagination.

"Yes, he is from the future. The future timeline has suffered a severe blow, if we don't assist, the Earth in the future timeline may be destroyed."

Goten didn't conceal anything, as he knew that such matters couldn't be hidden from an Angel.

"Did you know that willfully traveling through Time is a grave offense? If Beerus-sama discovers this, you will be severely punished." Whis warned in a stern tone.

Willfully traveling through Time posed a terrifying threat to both timelines.

Just like individuals from the future timeline traveling to this timeline, even if they inadvertently trampled a blade of grass, it could lead to the destruction of this timeline.

Although the chances of this were low, it wasn't impossible.

Due to such potential dangers, the Gods explicitly prohibited mortals from willfully traveling through Time.

"Whis, if you could help me keep this matter a secret, I will treat you to the finest cuisine in the world." Goten, aware of Whis' weakness, proposed directly with a smile.

"For real??"

As expected, Whis couldn't resist the allure of food. There was a look of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

"Yes, Laotan's Fermented Cabbage Beef Noodles, hand-marinated with honey fermented cabbage, in a self-heating pot. The taste is definitely a cut above the cup noodles you've had before! To show my sincerity, I'll give you a few more cups." Goten replied with a nod.

[T/N: Fking Chinese brand. Author particularly likes it, so am gonna leave it here. It's instant noodles, who tf hand marinates stuff for that, it's a big fat lie!]

The high-end product was a perfect match for an Angel-level deity like Whis.

"I've heard it tastes excellent!" Whis agreed to keep their secret, unable to resist the allure of the delicious food. As long as their actions didn't cause issues between the two timelines, they should be safe from punishment.

Goten then asked Krillin to buy a large quantity of Laotan fermented cabbage beef noodles and self-heating pots from a nearby supermarket. These items didn't cost much, but they were enough to ensure Whis' silence. Satisfied with his haul, Whis hurriedly left.

......

Three days later, Bulma finally completed the energy source for the time machine, but it only had enough power for one round trip. After making the necessary preparations, Goten, Trunks, and Krillin boarded the time machine, ready to journey to the future timeline.

"Goten, Krillin, please take care of Trunks. Don't let him get hurt again!" Bulma pleaded sincerely. The sight of Trunks' beaten and bleeding body from his last trip to the future timeline had been heart-wrenching for her.

"Don't worry, Bulma," Goten reassured her. "After this trip, I will completely resolve all the crises in the future timeline!" He was confident that even if Zamasu and Black combined their powers, they would be no match for him. The only potential issue was the immortal body, but he wondered if the Destruction ability of the Hakaishin could completely destroy it, after all, it was bestowed by Super Shenron.

After bidding Bulma farewell, the time machine started up, surrounded by a white energy zone, and disappeared from the Capsule Corp.

"Everyone…you must come back alive!" Bulma prayed as she watched them vanish.

......

After navigating the turbulence in the space-time tunnel, the trio finally arrived in the future timeline. The scene that greeted them was bleak and desolate, like the end of the world. The once vibrant planet was now shrouded in a miasma. The bustling cities and streets were devastated, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.

"Is…is this really Earth? It's unbelievable!" Krillin murmured in disbelief, his body trembling with anger. The sight of the destruction caused by the Goku look-alike filled him with rage. This was definitely the work of a demon from hell.

The despair and helplessness in the air were palpable. Although Goten already knew what to expect, but seeing it with his own eyes was completely different from seeing it in anime. Especially the smell of blood that could be smelled in the air. That smell was full of despair and helplessness!

Goten could almost see the helpless humans lying one by one in a pool of blood, their desperate cries for help echoing in his ears. Unconsciously, a powerful force surged from Goten's body, causing Trunks and Krillin to look at him in surprise.

"Those two demons are absolutely unforgivable!" Goten's fists clenched tightly, his tone icy. If Black and Zamasu were not completely eliminated, countless innocent mortals would suffer.

Closing his eyes, Goten began to sense the surrounding ki. In less than a minute, he detected two ki signatures. One was the aura of the former Black, and the other was the aura of a god, obviously Zamasu's.

"Trunks, Krillin, I can already sense Black's ki. Let's go!" Goten's tone was calm, but both Krillin and Trunks could feel the monstrous killing intent. It seemed that Black was in for a tough time. The two nodded quickly, and in an instant, the three of them disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a simple bamboo house on the outermost edge of the earth, two figures wore heavy expressions. These two were naturally Black and Zamasu, the ones Goten and the others were seeking.

They had hidden themselves away to allow Black's wounds to heal. After being punched through the body by Goten earlier, he had almost died. Fortunately, Zamasu's healing ability repaired his body in time, and his strength greatly improved after his body healed.

"Damn! That brat, Goten, is actually coming after me." Black felt the ki of Goten and Trunks approaching, his face instantly becoming tense and serious. If it were just Trunks, he could kill him with one finger now. But Goten was too powerful. The pain he had endured before left an indelible fear in his heart, and with his increased strength, his fear of Goten grew.

"Snort! A mere brat scares you like this? It doesn't seem like your style. Besides, after recovering from your injuries, you now have full strength, not weaker than Goku! Killing that brat should be possible." Zamasu snorted coldly, speaking to Black with some contempt. This guy was actually scared like this by a mortal, it was really embarrassing to a god.

"You're wrong, Zamasu. My heart is shaking with fear right now, and that speaks volumes about how dangerous Goten is. I did look down on all mortals before, but these hybrids are an exception. Although as the most noble god in the universe, I am very reluctant to admit this." Black said with an extremely serious face. As Goten's aura rapidly approached, the fear in his heart spread little by little.

"Then according to what you say, what should we do?" Zamasu asked, feeling that Black wasn't lying. Although he had an immortal body, his basic combat power was too poor. If a fight broke out, it would have to be resolved by Black alone.

"Fuse! By combining ourselves, we will definitely be able to completely eliminate that brat! Isn't this also our ultimate goal? As long as the fusion is completed, the Zero Mortals Plan is no problem at all." Black spoke immediately. Their time was running out. If Goten and the others arrived, with their decisive fighting style, they would likely not be given a chance to fuse.

"Start the Zero Mortals Plan early? Then let's start, it doesn't matter if it's started sooner or later." Zamasu could only nod his head. Let those foolish mortals experience the power of the Supreme God!

Then Zamasu directly took off the light green Potara earring on his right ear. At that moment, the bodies of the two were directly collided together by a terrifying suction force. The whole bamboo house was instantly brightened, and an incomparably powerful divine energy was instantly born on the earth.
