Dragon Ball: Everyone's playing the reincarnation game, huh?

"Sun Wukong's father, did you hear that? Before you return to Earth, go to the underworld and destroy that guy's soul as well, to avoid leaving any future troubles." Beerus snorted and ordered Bardock, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I understand... It was my oversight." Bardock nodded without objecting, then chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I'm sorry, I went to all this trouble. If Lord Beerus had intervened directly, he probably wouldn't even have a soul left."

"It doesn't matter. You're the one doing all the work anyway. It's just an extra step to get to the underworld. It'll give you a good workout." Beerus smiled calmly, not caring about these details.

In Beerus's view, as long as the hidden dangers can be eliminated, that's fine.

“Then let’s go to the underworld first, deal with Zamasu’s soul, and then return to Earth,” Jebit replied, gesturing for Bardock to proceed.

“Thank you for your help, Mr. Jebt,” Bardock said again.

"Shh!"

Jebt, carrying Bardock, vanished in an instant, enveloped in a radiant light of teleportation.

Beerus glanced in the direction where the two had disappeared, then found a comfortable spot to sit down and patiently waited for the food to arrive.

While waiting, Beerus inadvertently caught sight of Broly standing to the side and glared at him irritably.

"What are you looking at?" Beerus rolled his eyes, his tone tinged with impatience.

"You ruined my picnic mat!" Broly roared, his eyes blazing with anger, his hands clenched into fists.

"I did it on purpose! What? You're not happy? Come and hit me if you dare!" Beerus snorted, deliberately provoking him with a contemptuous smile on his face.

"Ahhhh!"

Broly could no longer contain himself and flew into a rage. Instantly, a dense, dark green flame erupted from his body, and he transformed into the legendary Super Saiyan 2. The air currents around him blew the surrounding rocks into the air.

"call out!"

Broly charged toward Beerus like an arrow released from a bow, his fists clenched, creating a whistling wind.

Seeing Broly charging towards him, Beerus dared not be careless in the slightest.

Although Broly is no match for him, it would be a bit troublesome if they really fought.

Beerus quickly blinked and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a blur behind him.

"Shh!"

In the blink of an eye, Beerus appeared behind Broly and, before Broly could react, slapped him hard on the back with just the right amount of force—enough to knock Broly unconscious without hurting him.

Caught off guard, Broly was hit on the spot. His body went limp, and he instantly lost consciousness, lying limply on the ground like a lump of mud.

"Snapped!"

Broly's dark green flames dissipated instantly, returning him to normal, and even his breathing became steady.

Beerus walked over without any hesitation, grabbed the unconscious Broly, used his body as a stool, and plopped down on it, even adjusting his position comfortably.

Old Kaio stood to the side, his lips twitching as he forced a smile.

Luckily, Billus showed mercy, otherwise Broly would have been in serious trouble.

The Supreme Kai kept clapping his two fingers together, his face full of helplessness.

They couldn't help but start fighting, but thankfully it didn't cause too much damage.

As expected of Lord Beerus, Broly has already become the legendary Super Saiyan 2, yet he was still knocked out so easily. The difference in strength is too great.

The two of them thought the same thing in their hearts.

……

Earth, headquarters of the Universal Capsule Corporation.

The courtyard was bustling with activity as Trunks, Gohan, Mai, Trunks Jr., Goten, Bulma, and others gathered to welcome Goku and Vegeta back from Universe 11.

As soon as Goku and Vegeta landed, they saw Future Trunks standing in the crowd, and their expressions instantly turned serious.

"Dad, Mr. Goku! You're finally back!" Trunks stepped forward excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

"What? Is it that Zamasu guy causing trouble again? This time he's switched bodies with mine?" Vegeta crossed his arms, snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure, yet also a barely perceptible excitement.

“Yes, Dad, he swapped bodies with you using the Super Dragon Balls and became Black Vegeta, killing many people in the future.” Trunks nodded, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, that guy finally figured out how to switch bodies with me. He's finally learned to use his brain, not as stupid as before." Vegeta's lips curled up, revealing a hint of smugness, and he even raised an eyebrow at Goku.

Sun Wukong: "????"

Sun Wukong looked at Vegeta with a blank expression.

Shouldn't you be angry if your body is swapped?

Why is Vegeta still so happy?

Trunks quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Dad, why aren't you angry that Zamas swapped bodies with you? Instead, you seem quite proud.

This is not what I imagined.

"Hmph, this time I'll defeat that guy myself and show him who the true master of this body is!" Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and smiled lightly. "He dares to use my body to do evil; he's dead."

"Bulma, how long until the time machine is fully charged? When can we set off for the future?" Goku turned to Bulma and asked, his tone tinged with urgency.

“We can set off at this time tomorrow. Charging will take at least 24 hours, there’s no rush,” Bulma replied.

"It takes this long?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.

"Trunks, how's your training going all these years? Is it because your future life is so comfortable that you haven't trained much, which is why you got beaten up like this by Zamasu?" Vegeta turned his gaze to Future Trunks, his tone scrutinizing, clearly dissatisfied with his performance.

"No... Dad, I've been cultivating all these years and have never slacked off!" Trunks hurriedly shook his head, trying to explain.

"What do you mean 'not'? Otherwise, how could he have been defeated by that Zamasu guy? He couldn't even protect his own comrades!" Vegeta interrupted Trunks with an annoyed snort before he could finish speaking.

“Uncle Vegeta, Trunks has really worked hard. He’s become very strong, and it’s already quite remarkable that he’s been able to persevere for so long in the future,” Gohan couldn’t help but add, trying to defend Trunks.

He had personally witnessed Trunks' Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

“You don’t need to say nice things to Trunks, that will only hurt him! Only by making him realize his shortcomings can he become stronger.” Vegeta glared at Gohan, his tone stern.

Son Gohan had no choice but to shut his mouth and stop talking.

"Trunks, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's have a match with your younger self and see if you've improved over the years," Vegeta said calmly, turning his gaze to the young Trunks beside him. "If you can't even beat your younger self, I won't mind giving you a good beating and showing you what real training is!"

Little Trunks: "..."

Trunks secretly wiped away his cold sweat, inwardly groaning.

I was just watching the show, how did I get dragged into this?

Dad is so unreasonable!

"Trunks, fight hard, don't hold back! If you lose, you'll lose your allowance for this year!" Vegeta ordered Trunks again, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"That's too much, Dad... why do you always bring up my allowance?" Little Trunks was speechless, looking aggrieved.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started! Don't dawdle!" Vegeta commanded.

"But... I might not be a match for my grown-up self." Little Trunks sighed helplessly, a little scared.

Little Trunks had personally witnessed Future Trunks' Super Saiyan 4 transformation, and that powerful aura was something he couldn't match at all.

"Hmph, you've already lost your confidence before the competition even starts? This isn't my son, Vegeta's son!" Vegeta sneered, his tone becoming even sterner. "If you keep dawdling, you won't get your allowance next year either, and for the next year, you'll have to train with me every single day without a break!"

Little Trunks: "..."

Young Trunks was on the verge of tears, but under Vegeta's threat, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly, walk up to Future Trunks, and assume a fighting stance.

Trunks took a deep breath and suddenly felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.

It's so weird that I'm going to fight with my younger self.

"Come on, younger version of myself. Don't hold back. Let me see the results of your training over the years." Trunks didn't transform; he simply smiled at his younger self in his normal state, his tone gentle.

"Then I won't hold back! I must win for my allowance!" To keep his allowance, Trunks decided to give it his all. A dazzling blue light instantly emanated from his body, his aura surged, and he directly activated Super Saiyan Blue Transformation, with blue flames burning around him like fire.

Trunks was a little surprised to see his younger self transform into Super Saiyan Blue, but he quickly came to terms with it.

Trunks thought about it carefully and realized that this was perfectly normal.

As a child, I trained with my father, Vegeta.

With Vegeta's strict guidance, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to transform into Super Saiyan Blue at this age.

"call out!"

Young Trunks transformed into a streak of blue light, moving with lightning speed, rushing towards Future Trunks' location with his fists clenched and a powerful aura emanating from them, clearly intending to strike first.

Seeing his younger self move so fast, Future Trunks didn't hesitate at all. A deep red light erupted from his body, and his fur and tail instantly grew longer, transforming him into a Super Saiyan 4. An even more powerful aura spread out, distorting even the surrounding air.

Seeing Trunks transform into Super Saiyan 4, Vegeta's pupils contracted slightly, and several veins bulged on his forehead.

"Shh!"

Vegeta flashed and quickly appeared at the center of the two's confrontation, stretching out his hands to steadily block their attacks. The powerful force caused the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.

"Dad? Why are you stopping us?"

Trunks and his son both looked at Vegeta with confusion, not understanding why he had suddenly intervened.

Vegeta ignored Trunks Jr. and fixed his gaze on Future Trunks, grinding his teeth in anger and shouting, "Trunks, what's with this Super Saiyan 4 thing?"

"Dad, I learned the Super Saiyan 4 transformation in the Great Demon World. There's a special method there that allows you to awaken the Great Ape's power without needing a tail," Trunks quickly explained.

"The Great Demon Realm? What kind of place is that? I've never heard of it before." Sun Wukong was taken aback, a little confused, and leaned closer to ask curiously.

"We went to the Great Demon Realm, where we learned how to transform into Super Saiyan 4 without a tail," Trunks replied, a hint of gratitude in his voice. "Besides me, Mr. Goku and my father from our world also learned this transformation!"

"Wow, Trunks! You can transform into Super Saiyan 4 even without a tail!" Goku circled Trunks, his eyes wide with amazement. He reached out to touch Trunks's deep red fur, but then, as if remembering something, he withdrew his hand and pondered, "However, your Super Saiyan 4 transformation does resemble Super Saiyan 4 at full power."

"That's not what I meant!" Vegeta roared angrily, his face darkening and veins throbbing on his forehead. "Didn't you already transform into Super Saiyan Blue? That's a much higher level of transformation. Why did you suddenly change your transformation routine and use Super Saiyan 4?"

Trunks then realized that this was why his father was angry.

“Well… while Super Saiyan Blue has a lot of explosive power and is indeed very strong, it can only last for a short time. After a high-intensity battle, it will quickly become exhausted.” Trunks spoke frankly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. “In comparison, Super Saiyan 4 transformation is more durable and consumes energy more gradually. It is more practical in future battles that require a long fight against Zamasu.”

Vegeta got even angrier after hearing this, his brows furrowing: "You actually said that Super Saiyan Blue's duration is short? That's because your training isn't up to par! As long as you improve your control, the duration will naturally increase!"

"Actually, I also wanted to follow Mr. Goku's training method and add the power of Super Saiyan God to Super Saiyan 4." Trunks quickly changed the subject, his tone tinged with regret. "But for some reason, neither Mr. Goku in the future nor I succeeded... We always felt that the two powers were repelling each other in our bodies and could not be fused together."

“Adding the power of Super Saiyan God to Super Saiyan 4 is indeed quite difficult.” Goku nodded thoughtfully, stroking his chin. “The energy systems of the two transformations are different; one leans towards the primal power of the Great Ape, and the other towards the aura of a god. It’s not easy to fuse them. But logically speaking, Trunks, you’ve already mastered the Super Saiyan God transformation and have a basic understanding of the aura of a god, so you should be able to combine them more easily than others.”

“That’s what I think too… Future Goku has been trying it out and has even researched the compatibility of the two powers.” Trunks’ voice was low, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “I think if we can successfully combine them, our strength will definitely rise to another level, and we might not lose to Zamasu… that black dad!”

"Black Daddy..." Vegeta's lips twitched when he heard this name, and a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
