DBZ : Original Timeline Gohan

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: Arrogance Meets Its Match



A violent surge of energy swept across the battlefield, an overwhelming force that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.

"No, get down—quick!" Trunks shouted, shielding Mai with his body as the destructive wave approached.

Son Gohan's clothes rustled in the wind, but his expression remained calm, unbothered by the chaos around him. To him, this was nothing more than a minor disturbance.

Goku and Vegeta, however, weren't as fortunate.

The violent energy struck them head-on, sending them flying through the air, their screams echoing across the ruined landscape.

BOOM!!!

The explosion rocked the earth, leaving a massive, bottomless crater in its wake. Thick plumes of smoke billowed into the sky, and the ground trembled as if the planet itself feared what had just transpired.

"Ugh… Damn it…" Vegeta groaned, lying sprawled on the ground. His body was battered and bruised, his strength nearly depleted. His fists clenched in frustration, and he pounded the ground with what little energy he had left, unwilling to accept defeat.

Goku wasn't faring any better. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, staining the dirt beneath him. His vision blurred, and every breath felt like fire in his lungs. The pain was overwhelming, and standing up seemed like an impossible task.

The power of Fusion Zamasu was beyond anything they had ever encountered. Their combined strength was no match for his overwhelming, god-like power.

"Dad… Uncle Goku…" Trunks whispered through gritted teeth, his heart sinking. He wanted to help, but what could he do? The power gap between them was insurmountable.

Turning to Son Gohan, desperation etched across his face, Trunks pleaded, "Brother Gohan… please… help them…"

Son Gohan's eyes softened as he glanced at Trunks. He understood the boy's anguish all too well. But his voice remained calm, unwavering. "Don't worry, Trunks. Dad and Vegeta haven't lost yet."

Trunks blinked in disbelief. "They… they haven't?"

From where he stood, Goku and Vegeta looked like they were on the brink of death. How could Gohan possibly believe they hadn't lost?

But Son Gohan simply repeated, "I will save them."

There was a quiet confidence in his voice that made Trunks' heart steady, if only a little. He swallowed hard, clinging to the hope that Gohan would act before it was too late.

Meanwhile, Zamasu's laughter echoed across the battlefield, wild and unrestrained.

"Hahaha! Perfect… absolutely perfect! Beyond my wildest imagination!" he roared, his voice dripping with unhinged satisfaction.

His aura pulsed violently, radiating an overwhelming sense of dominance and cruelty. He reveled in his power, basking in the despair of those around him.

"This overwhelming force… this is what it means to be divine!" he bellowed. "A perfect world without humans will be born from my hands! All incompetent gods deserve to die! I am the true god of this world—the only god!"

His eyes glinted with madness as he continued, "The Supreme Kais of the East, West, North, and South… the Gods of Destruction… even the kings of all twelve universes… they're nothing! They're obsolete!"

Zamasu raised his hands high above his head, his aura shifting from its usual purple-black hue to a deep, blood-red. The sky darkened, and a sinister energy wave surged from his palms, expanding outward with the intent to obliterate every intelligent lifeform in the universe.

Goku and Vegeta watched helplessly, their hearts heavy with despair.

Is this it? Goku wondered, his vision swimming. Is this how it ends?

They had saved the Earth countless times, defeated enemies far stronger than themselves—but now, they faced an opponent whose strength, immortality, and insanity rendered all their efforts meaningless.

I hate this… Vegeta thought, his teeth gritted in fury. I hate this damn Zamasu. This twisted freak doesn't deserve to be called a god!

But as much as they hated him, there was nothing they could do.

They were powerless.

Or so it seemed.

Just as Zamasu prepared to unleash his devastating attack, the sky twisted unnaturally, and the energy he had summoned suddenly froze in place.

It was as if time itself had stopped.

Zamasu's eyes widened in shock. "W-What… what's going on?!"

The overwhelming power he had summoned was suspended mid-air, completely immobilized. The rain of energy he had intended to use for universal genocide hung in the sky, motionless.

"Who… who dares to interfere?!" Zamasu roared, his voice laced with fury and fear. Is it a powerful god? he wondered, panic creeping into his heart. Who has the strength to halt my power?

The thought sent shivers down his spine. Could it be… the Omni-King? The Grand Priest? No… that was impossible. He should be invincible now. No god could match his power.

Then, a calm, steady voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Zamasu, you're nothing more than an ignorant clown. And you dare claim you'll wipe out all intelligent life?"

Zamasu froze, the color draining from his face.

That voice… it wasn't the Omni-King. It wasn't the Grand Priest.

It was him.

Son Gohan.

With a simple, dismissive snort, Son Gohan annihilated the energy in the sky with a mere flick of his fingers. The destructive waves Zamasu had summoned vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

Zamasu's jaw dropped.

He spun around, his eyes locking onto Son Gohan. The shock and disbelief etched across his face were even greater than if the Omni-King himself had appeared.

No… Zamasu thought, his mind racing. It can't be…

How could he—a mere mortal—possess such power?

"Impossible!" Zamasu shrieked, his voice cracking. "This is impossible!"

His mind reeled. This wasn't supposed to happen. He was the supreme god, the destined ruler of the universe. No human should be able to stand against him.

But the truth was undeniable.

Son Gohan had effortlessly neutralized his most powerful attack.

Desperate for an explanation, Zamasu convinced himself it was all a dream.

"Hahaha! Don't try to trick me!" he laughed, his voice manic. "I know the truth! This is just a dream—my dream!"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and his laughter grew louder, more unhinged.

"Hahaha! It has to be a dream! Wake up, Zamasu! Wake up soon! Hahahaha!"

Son Gohan watched him with a calm, almost pitying expression.

He really is insane, Gohan thought. Even gods can fall prey to their own arrogance.

But Zamasu wasn't the only one stunned by Gohan's display of power.

Goku and Vegeta stared in disbelief, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

"D-Did… did Gohan really do that?" Goku whispered, swallowing hard. Even for him, this was difficult to comprehend.

Vegeta, ever the proud warrior, could only mutter, "Impressive…"

Compared to Goku, he seemed more accepting of Gohan's overwhelming strength, though the surprise was still evident in his voice.

Trunks, meanwhile, was filled with awe. His eyes sparkled as he whispered, "Brother Gohan… you're amazing."

For Trunks, Son Gohan had always been a symbol of hope and strength. Seeing him now—standing tall, effortlessly overpowering a god—was like watching a dream come to life.

Tears welled up in Trunks' eyes, and he quickly rubbed them away. "That's great… That's really great…"

Mai, standing beside him, gently squeezed his hand, sharing in his relief.

Meanwhile, Zamasu stared blankly at Son Gohan, his mind struggling to process what had happened.

But after a moment of silence, his twisted grin returned.

"Haha… hahaha!" he cackled. "I almost forgot… I'm immortal! What do I have to fear?"

His laughter grew louder, more deranged. "You can't defeat me! I'm IMMORTAL! Hahaha!"

Even in the face of absolute power, Zamasu clung to his arrogance, convinced that his immortality made him untouchable.
