Whoosh!
A sharp burst of air split the sky.
At that moment, in the backyard of Zeru's home in West City on Earth in the Dragon Ball GT timeline, his figure appeared.
"In this timeline, it's around August, Age 770. My little princess is already a two-year-old."
Zeru checked the time flow of the main timeline, and his brows instantly furrowed.
He hadn't expected that while he had spent less than a year in the Dragon Ball Super timeline, nearly two years had already passed here in the GT timeline.
"Thankfully… it hasn't been too long. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to watch Liuli grow up."
He scratched his head awkwardly, a bitter smile forming on his face. He was genuinely worried that his daughter might not even recognize him anymore.
After all, children had short memories.
"Dear?"
"Oh? What a rare sight. Which distinguished guest decided to show up today?"
Two voices rang out.
Zeru turned his head. It was Bulma and Lazuli.
Bulma clearly wasn't too pleased, while Lazuli looked completely delighted, her face full of excitement at his return.
"Hahaha! My dear wives, I'm sorry!"
Zeru laughed to hide his embarrassment. He opened his arms and quickly walked toward them, pulling both into his embrace. Although Bulma resisted a little at first, after being apart for so long, she eventually gave in.
Still, she didn't hold back—she bit him hard.
"By the way, dear, your build seems bigger. If your face wasn't exactly the same, Bulma and I might not have recognized you."
Lazuli leaned against him happily, blinking in surprise.
"My strength has basically reached the peak of the universe now. This form isn't my final one yet, but it's very close."
Zeru explained.
That was true. His current state was essentially his default form. If there were any further changes, it would be when he eventually fused Perfect Ultra Instinct into his base state. At that point, his hair would likely turn completely white.
In other words, his normal state would resemble the "White God" form often seen in fan works and manga from his previous life.
Of course, that was only speculation for now. The true appearance of his final base form would only be known once he actually achieved it.
"Where's Liuli?"
After about ten minutes of enjoying their reunion, Zeru asked, since he hadn't sensed her presence in the house.
"She's at kindergarten."
Bulma stepped out of his arms and pinched his waist again before muttering, "She's been asking where her dad is lately. Hmph, be careful—she might not even recognize you anymore."
"That won't happen."
Zeru shook his head, then suddenly grinned mischievously. Lowering his voice, he teased, "Besides… don't I have another daughter?"
"What?! You have another daughter?!"
Lazuli, far more innocent, looked completely stunned.
"Zeru!"
Bulma's face turned bright red. She slapped his chest, though in her embarrassed state, she didn't have much strength behind it.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing her like that, Zeru burst into laughter.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. During that time, Zeru stayed home, accompanying his wives and daughter.
At first, Liuli was a bit unfamiliar with him, but blood ties ran deep. It didn't take long before she grew close again, calling him "Daddy" in her soft, childish voice, filling Zeru with joy.
On this day, Zeru left home and headed to Kame House.
Son Goku and the others were gathered there. With a single glance, Zeru assessed their power levels—the strongest, Goku, was only at a few billion.
He lost interest immediately.
The timeline in the Dragon Ball GT world was still far behind that of the Dragon Ball Super timeline.
At this point, Majin Buu hadn't even been defeated yet, meaning Super Saiyan 3 hadn't appeared—let alone Super Saiyan 4.
"If that's the case, it'll take a long time for the GT timeline to catch up with the Super timeline in terms of power levels. But…"
Zeru frowned, muttering, "If things continue like this, the Super timeline will keep advancing endlessly. That means the gap between the two timelines will only keep growing…"
"Host, due to your current concern, the system is granting you a special ability—the ability to adjust the time flow ratio between the two timelines."
Just as Zeru was troubled, the system suddenly spoke.
"What?!"
He froze for a moment, then his expression turned to shock.
So it was possible?!
According to the system, this meant he could control the time flow between the two timelines. In other words, he could make one year in the Super timeline equal ten or even twenty years in the GT timeline.
"Yes. However, you only have one chance."
The system clarified.
"One chance is already incredibly powerful."
Zeru's eyes sharpened. "As long as I align the timelines, their power levels can match. Otherwise, Goku and the others in both timelines will never be on equal footing."
This was a huge opportunity for him.
His base power level could increase multiple times over—perhaps even by tenfold or more.
"The downside is that I might miss some major events in the Super timeline. For example, the fusion of Goku and Vegeta into Vegito to fight fused Zamasu… I've always wanted to face that guy. What a shame… looks like I'll miss that chance."
Zeru sighed lightly. Vegito—the ultimate fusion warrior—was someone he had always wanted to fight. Unfortunately, he had already missed the opportunity twice.
Still, he wasn't in a hurry. There would be plenty of chances in the future.
Then, suddenly, a bold idea surfaced in his mind.
What if…
A Super Saiyan 4 or even Super Saiyan 5 Vegito from the GT timeline fused—using the Fusion Dance—with a Super Saiyan Blue Vegito from the Super timeline?
Would that create an unprecedented, ultimate Vegito?
At that thought, Zeru's breathing quickened, and excitement lit up his face.
This idea… was absolutely insane.
And unbelievably bold.
