"Trunks! You're going in alone?" Gohan asked in surprise and confusion.
Just a moment ago, Trunks had asked whether they should fuse, and now he suddenly wanted to face Zamasu by himself.
Gohan couldn't understand, so he stood in Trunks's way.
Trunks smiled lightly and said to him: "Gohan, I feel that… It's not time for fusion yet. If we always fuse the moment trouble comes, then what happens when one day we're forced apart?"
With those words, Trunks instantly transformed into his Super Saiyan 4 Full Power state.
Shoo---!
Using Instant Transmission, Trunks appeared behind Fused Zamasu. The scythe-wielding Zamasu immediately spun around, his eyes bulging with fury as he glared at Trunks.
"Perfect timing, Trunks! You'll end up just like this fool… Cut into pieces by me!"
The scythe in Fused Zamasu's hand pointed toward Trunks as he charged forward with overwhelming force. Raising the weapon high, he launched himself like a spring, swinging the massive blade straight down at Trunks.
Sensing the immeasurable destructive power of this strike, Trunks's pupils widened and he activated Instant Transmission again.
Clang---!
The scythe slammed into the earth, and an endless crack split the ground beneath. The fissure spread rapidly, as though tearing the planet from pole to pole.
Within the rift churned a bottomless abyss, and molten magma began bubbling violently beneath the surface.
"Is running away all you can do, worm?!" Fused Zamasu sneered arrogantly.
Trunks's eyes stayed locked onto Zamasu, deep in thought. He absolutely could not allow these two to separate on their own. In both the anime and the manga, once they defused, things became far more troublesome.
Because they were originally the same person, once Potara fusion reached its limit, their cells and souls had already completely merged, making separation impossible.
So what he needed to do now was clear: take advantage of the moment, while their fusion was still unstable and their bodies not fully harmonized, and force them apart!
But to achieve that… he first had to make contact.
As Trunks thought, a massive scythe came swinging down at him. Its blade suddenly pressed against his neck. The speed had caught Trunks completely off guard.
"Well then, allow me to see you off on your final journey, Trunks. After I kill you, I'll travel across every timeline… and slaughter every version of you."
But at that instant, a voice rang out behind Zamasu.
"Let him go." The man's voice was deep and heavy.
In Gohan's hands, a Kamehameha was already forming.
Fused Zamasu turned his head and glanced at him.
Trunks smiled knowingly; he had seized the opportunity.
Shoo---!
Instant Transmission brought him to Gohan's side. Suddenly, he shouted: "Close your eyes, Gohan!!"
Gohan instantly understood what Trunks meant. If he had to close his eyes, there was only one technique it could be!
"Solar Flare!!" Trunks roared, spreading his ten fingers wide before his forehead.
It was the Crane School's secret technique, something Trunks had once learned from Tien Shinhan, for the very day he might need it.
An unbearably dazzling light erupted before Fused Zamasu's eyes and a stabbing pain instantly shot into his vision. Half of Fused Zamasu's body was mortal, which meant the Solar Flare was bound to work on him!
"Bastard! What did you do to me?!" Fused Zamasu roared, his eyes clenched shut as he swung his scythe wildly.
Each slash of his blade cut deep rifts through the very sky itself.
At that moment, Trunks seized the opportunity. While Zamasu was blinded, Trunks thrust his hand straight into his body. In that instant, he felt it, he had touched the portion of energy belonging to Black Goku.
Just as he expected, the souls of Zamasu and Black Goku were already beginning to fuse together.
If it continued like this, the two of them would never separate again!
"Separate for me, Zamasu!!" Trunks pulled with all his might, and suddenly Fused Zamasu's entire body convulsed violently. The unbearable sensation forced him to open his eyes, only to see Trunks violating the very core of his soul.
"What are you doing to me?! You worm!!"
Trunks was mercilessly dragging at Black Goku's soul. But he also discovered that Black Goku's spirit was fiercely resisting. The aura was stubborn and unruly, because Fused Zamasu was now fighting back.
"Damn you!! To think you had such a technique! I am the greatest god! The greatest we! It is impossible for us to be torn apart again!"
The double-layered voices echoed endlessly in Trunks's ears. He could already sense how increasingly difficult it was becoming to tear the two apart.
But now, he had no choice but to fight with everything he had.
"Insignificant ant! You will never succeed! I'll show you the true terror of a god!!"
In an instant, peach-pink and silver-white auras erupted from within Fused Zamasu. Like two colossal invisible hands, they closed in around Trunks, binding him tight.
"Brother!!" Bulla screamed, flying once more toward Fused Zamasu.
At the same time, Gohan flared his energy and approached from another direction. And it was in that moment that Trunks felt something truly strange. Yes, the two divine auras had him bound, but suddenly, he sensed a warmth flowing throughout his body.
The feeling of being nourished by that energy was strangely familiar.
Suddenly, Trunks's eyes snapped open.
This sensation, he had felt it just yesterday!
When he used the miniature Super Cell to ascend into the form of Super Saiyan God. That inexplicable warmth was none other than his own Godly Ki!
The twin divine auras within Fused Zamasu had resonated with the Godly Ki inside Trunks's body, and that Ki was now being drawn out! In an instant, the Super Saiyan 4 form enveloping Trunks began to change once more.
It wasn't anything else, it was Super Saiyan 4: Boundary Breakthrough, empowered by Divine Ki!
Trunks smiled knowingly. Now, the fragment of energy belonging to Black Goku within Zamasu's body could only struggle in vain.
"I told you, I'll tear you apart!!"
And with those words, Fused Zamasu was split in two. Black Goku and Zamasu were successfully separated! The two of them stared at each other in shock before turning their gazes toward Trunks.
In front of them, the handsome warrior now held a gleaming energy sword, his blade aimed directly at their throats.
