"Who are you? Why are you destroying this city?" Toppo demanded, his voice echoing with authority.
"My name is Hearts," the golden-haired man replied with a smirk, "and I'm the one who's going to change the world!"
"Change the world?" Toppo frowned, his fists clenching as he took a step forward.
"That's right," Hearts continued, his tone calm yet filled with conviction. "Zeno can decide the life and death of all mankind with a single thought. I plan to overthrow Zeno and create a new universe! So, what do you say? Do you want to join us?"
Toppo's expression hardened. "I don't want to!" he declared, shaking his head firmly.
"Really?" Hearts sighed theatrically, his smirk vanishing. "In that case, I guess we're enemies."
"Ha!"
Before Toppo could respond, two figures, Kamin and Orin, shot forward like gusts of wind, aiming straight for him. Toppo snorted and dashed toward them, moving with the force of a lightning bolt.
Meanwhile, Fused Zamasu turned his attention to Dyspo, the Pride Trooper known for his incredible speed. Without hesitation, Dyspo charged at Zamasu, their clash creating shockwaves that rippled through the battlefield.
BANG BANG BANG!!
The sky above the city was soon filled with the sound of fierce combat. Dust clouds rose around the warriors, obscuring the chaos of punches and kicks exchanged at blinding speed.
With a powerful roar, Toppo's right fist connected with Kamin's midsection, sending her hurtling into the distance.
"Kamin!" Orin's voice was filled with fury. In a flash, Orin vanished and reappeared, attempting to possess Toppo. The Pride Trooper's eyes gleamed with a ghostly blue light as Orin's power took hold.
Controlled by Orin, Toppo turned his sights on Dyspo and began advancing. "Toppo!" Dyspo called out in alarm as he saw his ally's movements become unnatural.
"AHHH!!!"
Toppo bellowed, his willpower surging like a tidal wave. With a deafening roar, he expelled Orin's energy from his body. Orin, now visible and vulnerable, looked stunned.
"What?!" Orin exclaimed as Toppo charged forward, his right fist glowing with energy.
BANG!!!
The impact of Toppo's punch sent Orin crashing through several buildings, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
Hearts frowned from his position above. "Impressive," he muttered, raising his left hand toward the sky. The cosmic seed floating above began to glow, and an immense gravitational force descended on Toppo.
Under the weight of hundreds of times normal gravity, Toppo felt his body strain. But as a candidate for God of Destruction, he remained unfazed. With sheer determination, he stomped the ground and launched himself toward Hearts.
In an instant, Toppo was in front of Hearts, his fist swinging with all his might. Hearts raised his hand to block, but the force of the blow made him stagger back. Hearts pushed forward, countering Toppo's strength, only to see Kamin and Orin return to the fray.
Toppo growled, realizing he had to fend them off before continuing his fight with Hearts. As the battle raged on, Dyspo struggled against Fused Zamasu. Despite Dyspo's incredible speed, Zamasu's power proved overwhelming.
Eventually, Toppo and Dyspo were subdued. Hearts prepared to deal the finishing blow when a new arrival shifted the tides.
"Jiren!" Toppo exclaimed as the Pride Trooper leader appeared with reinforcements.
The sight of Jiren and the other Pride Troopers forced Hearts to reconsider. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he gestured to Kamin, Orin, and Fused Zamasu. "Retreat!" he ordered, disappearing with his team.
Jiren approached Toppo. "Who were they?"
"Hearts," Toppo answered, wiping the sweat from his brow. "He said he wants to overthrow Zeno and create a new universe."
Jiren's eyes narrowed. "Creating a new universe… What does he gain by destroying cities?"
"I'm not sure, but it might have something to do with the crystal in the sky," Toppo replied, glancing upward.
The Next Day
Hearts and his team launched an attack on Universe 6, facing off against Caulifla, Cabbe, and Kale. The trio fought valiantly, their combined strength pushing Hearts and his allies to their limits. However, when Hit arrived, the tides turned once more. Forced to retreat again, Hearts smirked to himself.
Each battle allowed the Seed of the Universe to absorb more energy. "Just two more universes," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the glowing crystal. "Soon, it will be complete."
Two Days Later – West City
At Capsule Corp, Trunks trained furiously against Gamma 1, determined to grow stronger. Memories of being captured by Fu fueled his resolve. Nearby, Goku and Vegeta stayed on high alert, ready for any sign of trouble.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and four figures appeared alongside the massive crystal. Hearts, Kamin, Orin, and Fused Zamasu descended upon the city.
"Trunks," Hearts called out, his voice carrying across the battlefield. "Join us, and I'll give you a universe to govern."
Trunks glared at him. "I don't trust you. Overthrowing one ruler will only bring another. I refuse!"
"So be it," Hearts said, smirking as Goku, Goten, and Gohan appeared beside Trunks.
"Goten!" Goku shouted.
Without hesitation, Goten launched himself into the sky. Hearts raised his hand, intending to crush Goten under immense gravity, but the young Saiyan disappeared, reappearing beside the Seed of the Universe.
Before Hearts could react, Goten touched the crystal, causing it to vanish into his system's inventory.
"What?!" Hearts gasped.
From the spot where the crystal disappeared, a woman with light blue skin, blue-green hair and eyes, super long twin ponytails, and wearing a blue cheongsam appeared. The woman's name is Ragusu. She is a survivor of the extinct race called the "Glass Tribe" and possesses the abilities of "Glassification" and "Glass Generation". Because of this precious ability, she has been strictly trained since childhood and her combat effectiveness is very high.
She had originally been in the Seed of the Universe, but because the Seed of the Universe was taken away by the system, she came out of the Seed of the Universe. There is no way the system can store living things.
