"What, what?! Could it be..."
Hearts' gaze froze as he watched the Universe Seed and the Power of Miracles abandon him, followed by a surge of anger.
It seemed like Hearts had realized something.
His expression was that of a betrayed man.
At that moment, the universes that had fused together with the Power of Miracles, suddenly shattered the fabric of spacetime, vanishing from Linly and Hearts' sight!
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Hahaha! I am truly foolish, so foolish!"
Seeing this, Hearts laughed wildly as if he had gone mad.
In the midst of his laughter, Hearts' body began to disintegrate due to the sudden loss of Universe Seed's power.
"Hearts?!" Linly couldn't help but exclaim.
Hearts slowly turned his head, his face no longer crazed like before, instead it was filled with endless regret.
"Lin Chen? I finally realize that I am a fool, to believe in borrowing the power of those I seek to destroy!"
"I wanted to be a Godslayer, yet I went to a god to beg for power! I am truly too foolish!"
Sensing something amiss, Linly reached out to grab Hearts' disintegrating body, trying to help him.
But Hearts' body was clearly dying.
After all, how could a human body contain the power of twelve universes without any side effects?
As Hearts neared his end, Lin Chen had to ask quickly, "Hey, Hearts! What's going on? Who gave you the Universe Seed?"
"It... It was Zalama!"
"Zalama? The Dragon God Zalama?"
Hearing Hearts' words, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat in disbelief.
If he was talking about Zalama, the first name that came to Lin Chen's mind was the Dragon God Zalama who created the Super Dragon Balls.
But he found it impossible.
Because wasn't the Dragon God Zalama still sealed on Earth?
At least, that's what Mr. Popo had admitted.
If that were the case, how could Hearts have gotten the Universe Seed from him?
"Who else could it be besides him? He had betrayed and tried to kill Zeno, but was sealed by Zeno and the Grand Priest! I thought I could rely on him to gain the power to eliminate Zeno, but... it turns out, it was all his scheme..."
"From start to finish, I was just a pawn of Zalama! Hahaha...!"
Hearts laughed crazily, his laughter ear-piercing and sharp.
By now, Hearts' lower body had completely disintegrated.
It turned into particles, disappearing entirely into space.
But suddenly, his expression softened.
Hearts looked at Linly and said, "Lin Chen, please, save humanity for me!"
"Zeno can destroy the universes at will, I just wanted everyone to be free from this tyranny! This wish, I couldn't fulfill it!"
"But you can!"
"Your figures when breaking through the limits were truly dazzling. If it's you people, you can surely save humanity! Please, promise me... rescue the humans I love..."
And so, Hearts vanished completely before Linly's eyes.
Buzz...
Lin Chen and Broly separated from their fused state.
Watching where Hearts had disappeared, Lin Chen furrowed his brow.
Just before Hearts died, Lin Chen truly felt the love he had for humanity.
This feeling deeply touched Lin Chen.
Hearts, a pitiful fellow...
...
"Good work."
In front of Zeno's Palace, Grand Priest muttered softly, then turned and walked inside.
Inside the palace, the Gods of Destruction from the twelve universes were playing a game of hide and seek with Zeno.
Beerus, looking disgruntled, was hiding behind a pillar as he said to Champa beside him, "The twelve universes are in crisis, why did Zeno-sama pull us here to waste time?"
"Fool, isn't this great? At least we don't have to fight those pe*verted humans! Isn't Lin Chen in the mortal world? He can surely handle those people!"
"Tch!" Beerus tsked helplessly.
...
On the other side, Dark Demon Realm.
The Universe Seed that left Hearts charged into this world.
As the Universe Seed flew over the Dark Demon Realm, many creatures of the Demon Realm sensed the terrifying energy within it.
This energy was like honey, attracting all the creatures of the Demon Realm along its path.
They crazily rushed towards the Universe Seed, trying to claim it as their own.
There were even instances of creatures from the Demon Realm killing each other for it.
However, when those creatures finally reached the Universe Seed after a fierce battle, ready to seize it, a sudden burst of golden light erupted from the seed.
The surrounding creatures, upon touching this golden light, burst into flames like dry wood meeting a fire, instantly incinerating.
They fell from the sky one by one, their miserable state deterring other restless individuals
In the end, all the creatures of the Demon Realm could only watch helplessly as the Universe Seed departed from them, diving into the Demon King's Castle.
"It... it's back!"
Zalama caught the returning Universe Seed and felt its pure energy, chuckling involuntarily.
"Hearts did quite well, absorbing the energy of twelve universes completely! And he even retrieved the Power of Miracles that Zamasu obtained from Super Shenron. Hahaha, not bad at all."
Beside him, Demon God Mechikabura glanced coldly and said, "I never expected even the mighty Dragon God to deceive humans."
"Using Hearts' power to collect the Universe Seed, tricking him into thinking that by having the power of the Universe Seed, he could annihilate Zeno. But in reality, the so-called Universe Seed is just a tool you use to absorb energy and restore your powers. With that little power, how could it possibly annihilate Zeno?"
"That Hearts probably only realized it at his death, right?"
Zalama laughed heartily, "Only fools like Hearts would believe such nonsense! If it were so easy to deal with Zeno, why would I have ended up in such a situation back then?"
"If anyone has to be blamed, it's Hearts for being too foolish!"
Saying that, Zalama swallowed the Universe Seed.
In the next moment, a surge of powerful energy flowed into his entire body.
Even Mechikabura beside him could sense the endless power within Zalama.
Facing Zalama, Mechikabura said in a faint voice, "Zalama, I don't care that you used Hearts, but if I find out you have ill intentions towards the Demon Realm as well, don't blame me for being ruthless then."
"Don't worry, Mechikabura, our goals are aligned! Only a weakling like Hearts could be used by me!"
After saying this, Dragon God Zalama smirked, a meaningful smile playing on his face.
