"It feels like Trunks," No. 18 chuckled. "What? Did you dye your hair? Why aren't you turning golden?"
"Hmph, today is your doom," Trunks said coldly.
"It really is Trunks' voice. Do you think dyeing your hair purple-red gives you the confidence to defeat us?" No. 17 smiled lightly.
"This isn't as simple as changing hair color," Trunks replied with a smile.
"Hmph, I have no time for your nonsense. Die!" No. 17 waved his hand forward, and a powerful energy instantly engulfed Trunks.
Seeing the rapidly approaching energy, Trunks swatted it away, sending the powerful blast into the sky.
No. 17 was stunned, staring at the departing energy without blinking.
"Swish!"
Trunks instantly appeared directly in front of No. 17.
"Destruction!"
Trunks waved his hand forward, and a primal destructive energy immediately enveloped No. 17.
"Crack!"
No. 17's body shattered on the spot, dissolving into nothingness, completely annihilated.
"You... what did you do to No. 17?" No. 18's face turned pale with fright.
"Next is you, No. 18!" Trunks grunted.
"Damn it!" No. 18 trembled in fear.
"Boom!"
Trunks showed no mercy, landing a heavy punch to No. 18's abdomen and kicking her high into the sky.
"Disappear!"
Trunks unleashed energy from his hands, turning No. 18 into dust as well.
"Hoo..."
Trunks returned to his normal state and went back home.
Three days later.
Trunks boarded a spaceship and set off rapidly towards Planet Namek.
Ten more days passed.
On Planet Namek, Trunks successfully found the seven Dragon Balls.
"Trunks, you may have these three wishes," Elder Mu Li said with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder," Trunks bowed in respect and made his wish to the divine dragon Porunga.
First wish: revive Piccolo.
Second wish: revive Vegeta.
Third wish: revive Son Goku.
"Apologies, Son Goku died of illness and cannot be revived," the divine dragon Porunga shook its head.
"There's no other way?" Trunks was taken aback.
"A new body can be created for Mr. Son Goku, a body free from illness," Elder Mu Li suggested. "Of course, this is just the first wish. The second wish would be to transfer Mr. Son Goku's soul into this new body, and Mr. Son Goku can then be revived."
"So that's how it can be done. Thank you, Elder," Trunks quickly expressed his gratitude. "Then I'll ask the divine dragon to grant my wish to create a body for Mr. Son Goku first. As for the other wish, I will have it granted by Earth's divine dragon after I return to Earth."
"No problem," Porunga did not object.
The three wishes were soon granted.
Piccolo was revived on Earth.
With Piccolo's revival, Earth's divine dragon also returned.
Earth's Dragon Balls were revived as well.
Vegeta also appeared on Earth, looking around with a bewildered expression.
I was actually revived.
Those damn androids!
Three days later.
Trunks returned from Planet Namek and met his revived father.
"Dad, it's great that you're alive," Trunks rushed forward, about to give his father an enthusiastic hug.
Vegeta pushed Trunks away.
"Hmph, I heard you defeated the androids! How did you do it?" Vegeta grunted and asked.
"My past self taught me," Trunks said truthfully. "He had me train with a God of Destruction, and I've already achieved a level of destructive power."
"Crack!"
As Trunks spoke, purple-red light radiated from him, activating Ultra Instinct.
"What? God of Destruction?" Vegeta was astonished.
"Dad, have you heard of Gods of Destruction?" Trunks asked.
"Hmph, is it that Beerus guy?" Vegeta inquired.
"Beerus? Huh? No... it's Rumshi, the God of Destruction from Universe 10," Trunks replied.
"What do you mean? Are there multiple Gods of Destruction?" Vegeta was confused.
"Each universe has only one God of Destruction. The Beerus you mentioned is the God of Destruction from Universe 7," Trunks explained. "However, my past self in that era had already moved Earth to Universe 10 and become good friends with Rumshi of Universe 10."
Vegeta wore a completely bewildered expression.
He couldn't understand what his son was saying at all.
Upon sensing his son's immense power, Vegeta felt a pang of despair.
Why is my son so strong?
Is this the result of training with a God of Destruction?
Did another version of myself start training with a God of Destruction a long time ago?
I want to become stronger too!
I will not lose to anyone!
Trunks' era gradually returned to peace.
As for Cell and the others, in Trunks' era, due to Trunks' presence, they did not stir up any significant trouble.
...
Main timeline.
On May 12th, about 10 AM, three years later.
On a small island approximately 9 kilometers from South City.
"Rumble!"
Androids No. 19 and No. 20 activated, wreaking havoc on the island.
Heavenly Hotel, Branch.
Yama rubbed his eyes, awakened by a massive explosion.
Yama scratched his head, completely unaware of what had happened.
The young lady beside Yama was also frightened, her face drained of color.
"Was it an earthquake?" the young lady quickly put on her clothes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Yama also dressed himself quickly and looked out the window.
Yama saw that large sections of buildings had collapsed, instantly turning into ruins.
"This is terrifying, is it the end of the world?" the young lady's expression shifted drastically, and she quickly left the room.
Yama then flew out directly from the window and rapidly appeared near the ruins.
Yama inspected the ruins and felt it wasn't caused by an earthquake, but rather by a massive energy bombardment.
"What in the world happened?" Yama frowned.
High in the sky.
Androids No. 19 and No. 20 looked down at Yama.
"I thought it was Son Goku, what a disappointment," No. 19 sighed. "According to our data, there's a 96% chance it's Yama."
"Not bad, we can absorb a lot of energy from him," No. 20 smiled.
"Crack!"
The two landed silently behind Yama.
Yama blinked slightly, then turned to look at No. 19 and No. 20 behind him.
"Why are you two here?" Yama was taken aback, as if suddenly realizing something, and asked vigilantly, "Could it be... you two were the ones who destroyed the city?"
