Chapter 989 Zamasu in Fear
"Oh."

Lu Li responded calmly.

The people around Lu Li looked grim, especially Trunks. "Mr. Lu, how can you just sit and watch him fuse with you?! He now has your body and true immortality. What are we going to do now?"

Vegeta and Gohan didn't speak, but they both frowned because they felt that Zamasu's ki after the fusion was much stronger than before, almost like it was from a different dimension.

"It seems you still don't understand the gap between us now..."

Zamas's voice was tinged with anger, mainly because Lu Li's indifferent "oh" had left him feeling quite frustrated.

He had hoped to see a look of fear or regret on Lu Li's face, but Lu Li's reaction was too indifferent.

Feeling the inexhaustible power within him, his mood improved. He clenched his fists and couldn't help but exclaim in praise, "Sparashi! This power, this is the power that the only god should possess!"

“Mr. Lu… what should we do now? I can no longer return to the state I was in before.”

Gohan asked Lu Li that his previous transformation into a beast was just a momentary lapse in judgment. After releasing it, he was in a state of mental clarity, like a sage. Even though he had eaten the Senzu Beans they brought, he had only regained his strength and could no longer transform into that form.

If he cannot transform, his power is far inferior to that of Zamasu, let alone the current fused Zamasu.

"Lu Li, if you dare to say that you didn't expect him to be this strong, I'll kill you."

Vegeta's tone was cold. He had indeed changed. In the past, he would have appreciated Lu Li's actions, but now, although as a martial artist he understood the desire to fight powerful enemies, he was more concerned with protecting the people he cared about and the Earth.

"That's terrifying, but the momentum is quite impressive."

Lu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, the situation has always been under my control. I just want to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve. I always like to make this kind of little punk fight until he realizes what he is after he's given it his all."

As he spoke, he began to stride upwards, as if stepping onto a staircase in the void, ascending to his throne.

After Zamasu's fusion, his overall attribute has reached 269 points, which is 4 points higher than Beerus's normal state and 9 points higher than Lu Li's current apparent state.

This is a rather outrageous gap. As Vegeta said, the power of fusion is indeed very strong, allowing Zamasu to reach a completely new realm.

This also made Lu Li interested in the fusion technology, because this kind of temporary improvement without side effects is truly a leap forward.

It's important to know that Zamasu's strength is quite average; it's only Hei Luli who is stronger. After the two of them merged, Hei Luli's original 258 points of comprehensive attributes increased to 269, which is an increase of 11 points of attributes. This shows that the analysis of the big shots in the space was correct.

The fusion of this technology is not just an addition of combat power; the Heart of God is like a multiplication of the base combat power, which is what caused Zamasu to undergo a complete qualitative change.

Undoubtedly, the current Zamasu is stronger and more difficult to deal with than the fused Zamasu in the original story.

Sensing Zamasu's strength, Shenyin, who followed Zamasu, breathed a slight sigh of relief, because he felt that Lu Li could not possibly defeat such a Zamasu. Lu Li had really messed up this time.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed that Lu Li's power was rising as he stepped up.

First, the overall attribute points were raised from 260 to 261.

If that were all, Shenyin would remain calm, because it's normal for explorers to have some small burst abilities. With an 8-point difference in overall attributes, even if Zamasu's combat skills aren't great, he could still slowly overwhelm Lu Li with sheer numbers.

brush--

Just then, two more figures appeared beside Vegeta and the others, causing Lu Li, who had sensed the change behind him, to frown slightly.

Because his senses detected that the two people were Goku and Shin, the Supreme Kai of Universe 7.

"Wow—is that guy the enemy? He looks really strong. Is Lu Li going to deal with him personally?"

As soon as Wukong landed, he was amazed and glad that he hadn't missed the exciting moment.

"Sin, Gvas should have sent you a message, right?"

Ignoring the murderous intent that Zamasu had locked onto him, Lu Li questioned him, no longer using honorifics, to express his dissatisfaction.

Shin's forehead was also slightly sweaty. "It was Goku who insisted that I bring him here. I was also afraid that Zamasu's matter would not be able to be resolved."

"Lord Beerus will have a heart-to-heart talk with you when we get back."

Lu Li said calmly, causing the Supreme Kai God Xin to break out in a cold sweat.

Shin knew that by risking his life to come here, he was actually putting Beerus's life at risk, and if Lord Beerus found out, he would definitely not let him off easily.

"Lu Li... even when you're about to die, are you still going to pretend to be calm and ignore me?"

Zamasu's voice was cold and sharp, "Don't you understand how vast the difference in power is between us?"

"Power disparity?"

As Lu Li spoke, he continued his ascent into the sky. Then, to Shen Yin's astonishment, his aura surged higher and higher. "You mean this?"

"No...impossible..."

Shenyin unconsciously retreated in the air because Zamasu could no longer give him any sense of security. In his reconnaissance vision, Lu Li's overall attributes had jumped from 261 points to 266 points, which was a qualitative change.

"Nothing is impossible; Weiss is urging me to start working."

Lu Li said expressionlessly.

He has just activated the Brawl King title effect, which grants him a +1 boost to all attributes in a world where Multidimensional Explorers have descended.

The subsequent leap in his five attributes allowed him to enter a state of divine restriction.

Yes, although Lu Li had not been able to master the perfect Free and Unfettered Ultimate Skill through decades of cultivation, he had completely mastered the Divine Restriction ability due to his improved martial arts realm and his understanding of the Dao.

He can now enter a state of divine restriction at any time, and if he wants, he can even remain in this realm permanently without leaving.

"What kind of ability is this!?"

Seeing Lu Li's aura suddenly surge, seemingly now almost on par with his own, Zamasu lost some of his composure, realizing that the Super Shenron might be a bit of a trap. Why was Lu Li so strong, while he himself lacked the corresponding abilities?
"Don't even think about it. All you got is my shell, just a shell. You can't steal what's truly powerful."

As Lu Li spoke, he continued walking towards Zamasu in the sky. His footwork was wondrous, each step seemingly striking Zamasu's heart. With each step forward, his aura rose, and a tidal wave of killing intent and malevolent energy surged toward Zamasu, making Zamasu feel icy cold all over.

"Vegeta, Gohan, Goku, and Trunks, watch closely. Today I'm going to use this negative example to teach you a lesson and show you how power should be used."

As Lu Li spoke, he had already stood still in the sky, his position raised to the same height as Fusion Zamas.

As Zamasu faced the overwhelming aura, he involuntarily broke out in a sweat, momentarily forgetting that he was immortal.

"Stop talking big!"

Zamas could no longer bear it; he had to launch a strong attack to break Lu Li's momentum, otherwise he felt his spirit was about to be crushed.

However, just as he lowered his body to prepare to sprint, he felt Lu Li's aura intensify further, as if the world had been divided into black and white.

Lu Li unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki, and the mental pressure made Zamasu feel as if the world before him had turned into a gray and white picture, like a pale line drawing.

The moment the aura of fear spread, Lu Li's Evil God Mask unleashed its full power. Accompanied by the baleful aura emanating from Lu Li and the sinking black mist, the lower half of Zamasu's vision was completely black.

Standing at the point in his field of vision, Lu Li seemed to be at the center of heaven and earth, on the dividing line between yin and yang, with pale and black mist flowing around him, he was simply an indescribable demon god.

With his body trembling involuntarily, Zamasu was completely suppressed, unaware that his power was being drained away.

The power that flowed away, transmitted through the void, was absorbed into Lu Li's body by the siphoning ability of the evil god mask.

In Shenyin's reconnaissance view, Zamasu's overall attribute suddenly dropped to 267 points, while Lu Li's attribute climbed further to 268 points, achieving a numerical reversal!
Seeing this, Shenyin felt a chill run down her spine and turned to run away.

Under Lu Li's ultimate fear intimidation, Zamasu was also affected by the madness effect of the gem's ability judgment. His face was full of terror, and he could not use any skills or moves freely. He just rushed towards Lu Li frantically, like a frightened child who launched a meaningless charge towards fear after being stressed.

Because he was in a frenzied state, Zamasu was completely unable to control his power. With one punch, the world changed color, and apart from Earth, which was protected by Lu Li's soul intent, all the planets in the entire star system were reduced to ashes by this power.

Lu Li didn't care, because he had already sensed it before. Apart from having some inexplicable obsession with Earth, Zamasu's operation this time was quite efficient. There were no living people left in tens of thousands of star systems in the vicinity, including the Milky Way.

However, Earth and the universe are vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many planets with life. Zamasu had only swept through two or three planets before wiping out life in that area.

At this moment, Zamasu's powerful punch made even Gohan, who had already experienced the new realm, change color, and Goku was even more amazed when he saw it.

But even when faced with such a punch, Lu Li neither dodged nor avoided it; he simply stood there.

When Zamasu's fist landed on Lu Li, it was as if the world had fallen silent. A powerful impact erupted, but Lu Li remained motionless, his black clothes fluttering slightly in the wind.

"No... Impossible! Impossible!"

Zamasu stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He watched his fist shatter, his wrist twisted at a strange angle, and felt the bones in his arm breaking inch by inch.

Everything was telling him one fact: he threw a punch at Lu Li without any regard for the consequences, and Lu Li didn't even flinch. The force of the recoil alone crippled his arm.

"puff--"

As Zamas spoke, he stepped back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His attack not only failed to injure Lu Li, but also injured himself due to the interaction force. Furthermore, it triggered some strange ability on Lu Li's body, causing an invisible blood beast to pounce on him and severely damage his body.

Every injury he suffered was accompanied by a domineering force that eroded his body. If he weren't immortal, he might already be dead.

"Impossible! I already possessed your perfect body, and my power increased even further after the fusion. How could this be?!"

Zamas roared, unable to accept the reality before him. What angered him even more was that his body was still trembling, and he could not suppress his fear of Lu Li.

He clearly didn't feel this way when he fought Lu Li as Hei Lu Li before. He didn't feel fear, nor did he fall into a state of madness and loss of reason.

"That's why I said you only got a shell, but you don't know how to use the power at all."

Lu Li spoke calmly, looking at Zamas as if he were looking at a fish waiting to be cooked on a platter.

The group of people below were also stunned, because they could see that in terms of strength, Zamasu seemed to be not much different from Lu Li, but even if Lu Li did not dodge, Zamasu could not hurt Lu Li in the slightest.

"Lu Li is indeed very strong. It's no wonder that guy can't beat Lu Li."

Wukong sighed, "After all, Lu Li's strength came from hard work and training, while Zamasu only got that kind of body and couldn't unleash his power at all."

"No... He still has pure power. Lu Li's cultivation system is different from ours. He doesn't simply rely on qi to support himself. Zamasu's punch was definitely powerful enough."

Vegeta said with a solemn expression, "But he can't hurt Lu Li, he can't even make Lu Li's body tremble in the slightest."

This made Vegeta clench his fists, inwardly realizing that the gap between them was still too large.

That's not a difference in combat power, but a difference in martial arts skills. At least, he couldn't possibly let Kakarot punch him and not get hurt at all.

Not to mention that after being hit, one doesn't move an inch. That requires the highest level of mastery over the flow of power. When deflecting the force, it's as if the force passes through a void, as if Lu Li never existed there at all.

Vegeta felt that even if he used the best techniques to defend against Kakarot's attacks, who were about the same strength as him, he would still be knocked back several meters if he were hit head-on. Lu Li's technique, on the other hand, was close to the Dao.

At this moment, high in the sky, Lu Li looked at the fused Zamasu, whose face was full of collapse, and smiled kindly, "Don't panic so much, you still have an immortal body."

"Yes...yes, I am immortal!"

Zamasu forced himself to stop trembling. "You can't kill me!"

In response to Zamasu's words, Lu Li simply drew the Demon Prisoner, grinned to reveal a set of gleaming white teeth, with wisps of black mist emanating from between them, and said, "Isn't a toy that can't be broken no matter how you cut it, fantastic?"

He strode toward Zamasu, whose eyes were filled with unease. "Believe me, you'll regret letting the dragon grant you immortality."
