Chapter 181: Information from the Future!
"Hey! Who the hell are you? Do you even realize that tampering with time is a serious crime?"
A loud voice of questioning came from a cat-like face, startling Trunks. He hurriedly took a step back.
"Who are you...?"
"Me?" Champa pointed at himself, visibly irritated that the guy in front of him didn't even recognize him. It was utterly infuriating.
"You don't even know who I am? I'm the God of Destruction, the God of Destruction from Universe 6!"
"Where did you even come from? Do you not know that tampering with time is a serious crime?"
"This..."
Faced with Champa's aggressive questioning, Trunks was at a loss for words. After all, he had indeed traveled through time and space to arrive here.
Even though the destination and time weren't as he had expected, he had indeed manipulated time.
Moreover...
At this point, he also realized that the cat in front of him, who looked much like Beerus, was also a God of Destruction, just from another universe.
This only made him more confused.
What was going on here?
"Wasn't I supposed to travel to West City 17 years ago? How did I end up here, in Universe 6?"
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking to you! What are you daydreaming about?"
Champa was fuming.
The boy in front of him not only ignored him but was also spacing out. It was simply outrageous!
Just as Champa was about to lose it, Mu Chuan suddenly appeared before them.
"Lord Champa, perhaps we should let this boy explain what's going on first. It seems something must have happened to him."
"Given the circumstances, let's suspend the martial arts tournament for now."
Mu Chuan's suggestion was timely, and Champa reluctantly agreed, though he still harbored some resentment toward Trunks.
Mu Chuan knew that with Trunks' arrival, Zamasu's appearance was probably not far off. That guy had definitely arrived at this point in time.
Dealing with Zamasu with just his own strength wouldn't be easy. However, if a God of Destruction were involved, it would probably be effortless to destroy him.
Of course...
He could also defeat Zamasu, but he had just overlooked it for now.
Trunks then stood before Beerus.
"Lord Beerus..."
"Hmm? You recognize me? Well, this just got interesting."
"I'm from a future timeline, and I can't reveal my identity, as it could have severe consequences."
"In the future, it's a world filled with despair. Originally, it was destroyed because of the appearance of the Androids, and most people were killed."
"The Earth warriors also nearly perished, but after the first time I traveled through time, I witnessed the resurgence of Earth's warriors. Through our combined efforts, we grew stronger."
"After returning to the original timeline, things did indeed calm down for a while, but then a terrifying individual appeared."
Trunks quietly narrated everything he could, knowing that this was not the same timeline he had crossed into previously.
Some things had to be repeated.
But fortunately, he wasn't revealing his identity to anyone crucial. To avoid suspicion, he discreetly whispered his identity to those nearby but ensured no one at a distance could hear.
This wouldn't affect him!
Yet, even so, it was still quite shocking.
And the real focus came after that.
"He was someone who called himself Son Goku."
Trunks, while speaking, glanced at the stands, knowing that there was a real Son Goku there.
However, he didn't mistake him for Zamasu!
After all...
The Son Goku of this timeline was still young and hadn't fully developed his strength yet.
At that moment, everyone listening was shocked.
Son Goku?
All the Saiyans turned their gazes toward him—the low-class warrior who had landed on Earth. While his current strength was quite formidable, could he really reach such a terrifying level?
Even the Earth warriors leapt down from the stands.
"Are you talking about me?" Son Goku asked, puzzled.
Trunks shook his head. "No, it's just that this person claimed to be you, and he looks exactly like you!"
"He wore black clothes, and we called him Goku Black!"
"Goku Black?" Everyone was stunned.
How could it seem like the future version of Son Goku had become a villain behind the scenes? What was going on?
Facing everyone's stares, Son Goku scratched his head, feeling quite bewildered.
"Yes, that guy... when he appeared, he told us that in the name of justice, he would wipe out all the people on Earth!"
"And that's exactly what he did!"
As Trunks said this, he clenched his fists tightly, recalling the scenes of humanity being slaughtered.
In the future timeline, nearly all of Earth's humans were on the brink of extinction.
No!
You could say they had been completely wiped out!
Except for him...
"Eradicate all of Earth's people?"
"And for justice?"
"Exactly! He also said that he had already destroyed several other planets and their inhabitants."
"Over the course of the following year, almost no one was left on Earth. He wiped everyone out, even all the Earth warriors..."
As Trunks recounted this, everyone could feel the despair—the sense of a world where all of humanity had been annihilated, leaving only one person to continue resisting.
It was as if they could feel that despair firsthand.
However...
Breaking the somber mood, Beerus suddenly spoke: "Is that the reason you traveled through time to come here?"
"Do you know that's forbidden?"
"Time flows in a constant stream. If someone from one point in time reverses the flow and comes to another timeline, no matter what they do, even plucking a flower, it could cause catastrophic consequences for the future."
"Even the smallest action could result in the destruction of a planet or worse. That's the price of tampering with time!"
"Even gods are not allowed to do that!"
Beerus' words startled everyone present.
Even Trunks snapped out of his grief and felt a wave of panic.
But then, Mu Chuan suddenly spoke up: "Lord Beerus, do you remember when I told you about the chaotic space-time turbulence before?"
"I suspect... the person he's talking about is Goku Black!!"
