Akira decided to withhold the final moments of the battle after Trunks cleaved Fused Zamasu in two. He chose to let the multiverse believe that the Hope Sword had secured a definitive victory.
The actual conclusion was far too grim: Zamasu's essence festering across the fabric of the cosmos, forcing Son Goku to summon Zeno, the Omni-King, who then erased the entirety of Universe 7 in that timeline.
With only Trunks and Mai escaping the void, the truth was a burden Akira felt the audience couldn't bear. Besides, with the present Zamasu captured and facing his end, that dark future had already been averted.
Aboard his high-tech gravity ship, Vegeta watched the screen with a rare, unrestrained smirk. Seeing Trunks wreathed in that fierce gold-and-blue aura, wielding a blade of pure Ki, the Saiyan Prince felt a swell of genuine pride. For too long, Kakarot and his brat had hogged the spotlight. Finally, it was his son's turn to shine.
These two legendary transformationsâSuper Saiyan Rage and the evolved Blueâbelonged to his bloodline. In his mind, they had officially surpassed Kakarot's lineage. He couldn't wait to land on Earth just to rub this victory in Goku's face.
In the Kaioshin Realm of Universe 10, the God of Destruction Rumsshi arrived alongside his Angel, Kusu. Staring down at the restrained Zamasu, Rumsshi's trunk-like nose flared with primal fury. Had Tien Shinhan been there, he might have cracked a joke about the god's temper, but the atmosphere was suffocatingly heavy.
"Zamasu, isn't it?" Rumsshi growled, looming over the traitorous apprentice. "You planned to murder Gowasu, eradicate all mortals, and assassinate the Supreme Kais of every universe? Do you realize that by killing them, you also killed my fellow Gods of Destruction? I won't let you off as easily as Beerus did in that video. Disintegration is too kind for you."
Rumsshi commanded Kusu to record the execution. He didn't use a swift Hakai; instead, he let the power of Destruction eat away at Zamasu's limbs millimeter by millimeter. Even a being with Zamasu's iron will couldn't suppress the agonizing, soul-piercing screams that echoed through the sacred realm.
"AHHHHH! You are a God!" Zamasu roared through the pain, his eyes bloodshot with defiance. "Why do you protect these wretched mortals? You are a Destroyer! Your purpose is to cull life! Our goals are the same!"
Rumsshi sneered, his eyes glowing with a terrifying purple light. "The same? I destroy to maintain the cosmic balance, you fool. You seek to shatter it. No God, not even a Destroyer, has the right to wipe out all life and upend the divine order. You are a cancer to the multiverse, and today, you are excised."
As Zamasu's body slowly crumbled into violet dust, a new notification flickered across the multiversal screens. Even the twelve Gods of Destruction paused, their expressions shifting from boredom to absolute shock as the title appeared: "A Realm Beyond the Gods: Ultra Instinct."
The chat across the dimensions exploded instantly.
Sengoku stared at the screen, his brow furrowed. "Ultra Instinct? The name doesn't follow the Super Saiyan pattern. If it's a realm the Gods find difficult to reach, does that mean it isn't restricted to the Saiyan race?"
Duanmu Yan, an Armor Summoner, chimed in with a sharp edge to his voice. "A realm even a God of Destruction struggles to master? This is on a completely different level than anything we've seen. Even if it's a universal technique, I'd bet my life it's Goku who breaks into it first."
Zhang Chulan nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's always Goku. That guy is a bottomless pit of potential."
Kurosaki Ichigo leaned back, a look of grim respect on his face. "A power that eludes the gods, yet mortals are reaching for it. The Saiyans... they really are a terrifying bunch."
For the common viewers, the title was a testament to the Saiyans' greatness. But for the deitiesâthe Gods of Destruction and their attendant Angelsâthis was a provocation. They watched with bated breath, eager to see how a mere mortal could grasp the ultimate state of divine combat.
The narrator's voice resonated across the worlds, calm and authoritative. "Ultra Instinct is not strictly a transformation; it is a state of being. While calling it a transformation isn't entirely incorrect for a mortal, it is, in theory, a technique accessible to all living things. It is not unique to the Saiyan biology. However, theory and practice are two very different things."
