Chapter 992 Zamasu's Collapse
However, Zamasu, who had been destroyed by Lu Li, showed no signs of recovery, and nothing remained in the void.

Not only that, the other Zamas who were frozen in place were also lifeless and did not obey their commands at all.

Not to mention Zamasu, even Vegeta and the others who were watching were stunned, wondering how Lu Li had managed to do it.

"No...this must be an illusion! What kind of magic or illusion have you used to deceive me!?"

Zamas shook their heads and stepped back, all of them filled with fear, wondering what trick Lu Li had used.

The main problem is that he simply cannot accept or understand it.

First of all, the immortality bestowed upon him by the Super Shenron should be absolute. He had considered whether an existence like the Omni-King could destroy him, but he felt that Lu Li was far from qualified.

Furthermore, if Lu Li really had some special move that could counter his immortality, why didn't Lu Li use that method against him from the beginning?

Putting himself in the enemy's shoes, Zamasu realized that he couldn't wait for the enemy to merge and become stronger, or for the enemy to master the powerful ability of infinite splitting, before he would start to take serious action.

"I do know illusion magic, but I have no interest in using it against you, at least not right now."

Lu Li smiled and walked up to another Zamasu, pointing his finger with destructive energy.

As a result, Zamasu was also destroyed, the humanoid black mist inside dissipated, and an Immortal-grade treasure chest fell to the ground.

Lu Li walked through the stiff horde of Zamas amidst their terrified gazes, his fingers tapping each one as if death were passing through the mortal realm, casually reaping cheap lives.

"Tsk, your drop rate is terrible."

As Lu Li destroyed Zamas, he complained that after the first two Zamas he destroyed dropped treasure chests, the drop rate became much lower. He destroyed dozens of Zamas and only got five or six treasure chests.

Zamasu completely failed to understand what Lu Li was saying. If Shenyin hadn't run away and was still by his side, he would have known Lu Li's 'malicious intentions'.

Lu Li actually had the ability to kill Zamasu from the beginning. He seemed reckless, but as an explorer, there must be a reason for his recklessness. If it weren't for the potential for high returns, Lu Li wouldn't have bothered playing with Zamasu for so long.

After all, he wasn't a sadist, and bullying Zamasu, a weakling, wouldn't give him any pleasure. It was all just to stimulate Zamasu to enter his ultimate state as soon as possible.

It's easy to understand why he was able to kill Zamasu. Zamasu's immortality is genuine in the eighth-tier realm, and Lu Li's Demon Imprisonment and Healing Prohibition were ineffective against him.

He can use the Demonbane to stop Zamasu's powerful regenerative abilities from his original Chaos bloodline, because Zamasu doesn't have the Star Ring and therefore isn't immune to healing restrictions.

However, Lu Li could not use the Demon Imprisonment Technique to eliminate Zamasu's immortality, because the immortality that the Divine Dragon gave Zamasu was not regenerative ability, but a rule of immortality, which could not be restricted by the prohibition of healing.

However, Lu Li was still able to find a way to kill Zamasu. The reason was simple: Zamasu copied Lu Li's body, but could not copy Lu Li's soul.

The one who manipulates the dark world is still Zamasu's soul.

Therefore, an interesting phenomenon occurs: Zamasu's physical body is immune to the erosion of those eerie black substances, but Zamasu's soul is not.

Lu Li didn't know the origin of the dark demon god within him, but he knew that its origins were extraordinary. The corrosive power of that dark and eerie substance was extremely domineering. So far, Lu Li had never seen anything that the dark and eerie substance could not corrode.

Anything corroded by the black substance will become fragile and eventually turn into black powder and disappear.

Lu Li wasn't sure where the upper limit of this domineering power was, but he was certain that the rules governing this power should be above the eighth-order realm.

From the very beginning, he released the black substance to test Zamasu's soul. That was the time he released Conqueror's Haki to intimidate Zamasu. He discovered that when the black substance eroded Zamasu's soul, Zamasu was unable to resist.

From that moment on, Lu Li was certain of the plan's feasibility and prepared to use Zamasu to make a big splash.

As expected, Zamasu did not disappoint Lu Li, splitting into so many fused Zamasu. Considering Zamasu's energy level, an existence with a comprehensive attribute of 269 points should drop an Immortal-grade treasure chest of quite good quality after death.

Lu Li's strike just now carried an excessive amount of dark matter, severing the bodies of Zamasu and his companions, and then using the dark matter to corrode Zamasu's souls.

Zamasu's original strength was not that great, and it can be seen that his soul strength was actually average. If it weren't for his immortality helping him repair his soul, he would be quite fragile.

The erosion and destruction laws of the dark matter seem to be above the immortality laws bestowed by the Super Shenron. After being enveloped by the dark matter, Zamasu's soul will fall into silence. At this time, all that is needed is to deliver a final blow with destructive energy, and Zamasu will be reduced to nothing.

"No... I don't believe it, this must be a hallucination!"

Zamasu roared, and several of them even slashed themselves with their own blades, splitting themselves into new Zamasu to replenish their ranks.

Lu Li did not respond to Zamasu's words, but silently counted his income one by one. The more Zamasu split, the higher his income.

Trunks and his group were dumbfounded. They never expected that when Lu Li got serious, he could kill the theoretically immortal being so easily.

"That's outrageous... The immortality granted by the Super Dragon... has actually been broken?"

Supreme Kai Xin exclaimed in amazement, "Lord Lu Li is already stronger than an ordinary God of Destruction, isn't he!?"

Because he is a god, he knows how powerful the Super Shenron is. The Super Shenron's power can even create the world. Theoretically, the immortality he bestowed upon it is something that no one except the Omni-King can defeat.

Even a God of Destruction couldn't completely destroy Zamasu.

Even with its infinitely multiplying Zamasu, Lu Li managed to kill over a hundred of them with a single strike!

"Kakarot, did you notice?"

Vegeta looked at the battlefield with a solemn expression; his focus was different from that of the Supreme Kai, Gohan, and Trunks.

Those people were amazed that Lu Li could break the immortality barrier, happy for the dawn of victory, and relieved of the tense situation.

He focused his attention on Lu Li's previous strike. The seemingly simple sword technique seemed to contain the true essence of martial arts, and the fusion of a martial artist's spirit and energy into the sword intent amazed him, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"Did you notice it too? Lu Li's moves contain 'artistic conception,' and the destructive power of that artistic conception seems to originate from the heart; the invisible force is terrifyingly strong." Wukong's expression was also serious, but his eyes revealed excitement because he had discovered a new realm.

Lu Li had sparred with him and Vegeta before, but those were just exchanges of techniques. Lu Li usually just dodged and blocked their attacks. Even when he wanted to end their sparring, Lu Li would just throw a punch or flick them on the head.

This was the first time they had ever seen Lu Li use weapons and sword intent so seriously.

"I really want to learn! I wonder if Lu Li would be willing to teach me!"

Wukong said excitedly.

Vegeta remained silent, but his eyes gleamed. He had a strong purpose in becoming stronger, but that didn't mean he had no interest in advanced martial arts.

"What...what exactly do you want to do!?"

At this point, the Zamasu were already somewhat on the verge of collapse, because they discovered that Lu Li did not stop them from splitting at all. After they split, he would casually slash out and annihilate a large number of Zamasu.

The difference in combat power was despairing. He initially naively thought that numbers would make a difference, but seeing the power of Lu Li's sword strike, Lu Li didn't care how many Zamas he could split into.

Even if Zamasu splits and fills the entire subspace, Lu Li can still kill all of Zamasu with just one strike.

This is the result of absolute offensive power and extreme violence.

If one Zamasu can be instantly killed by Lu Li, then a hundred billion Zamasu will have the same result.

Because the Zamas cannot unify and continue to integrate their power, if they fight individually, even if they can block Lu Li's sword light, they cannot block that peerless sharp sword intent.

Under these circumstances, Lu Li calmly and slowly killed Zamasu, which made Zamasu feel extremely uneasy.

He wasn't really stupid; he could see clearly that Lu Li was capable of killing all the 'Zamas,' but Lu Li deliberately only killed a portion of the Zamas each time, waiting for the other Zamas to continue splitting.

"What do I want to do?"

Lu Li then turned his head to look at the first Zamasu, with a warm smile on his face. He believed that he had learned a lot from Aizen in terms of smiling friendliness, and Sousuke also said that he was already quite qualified in terms of the type of smile alone.

"I just want you to pay for the sins you've committed, and to experience the taste of death again and again."

Lu Li continued, "After you obtained my body, how many living beings did you kill? A hundred billion, or a trillion? Or should we change the unit of measurement to ditch? Stream?"

As he spoke, he passed by several Zamas and swiftly killed them with a flick of his finger. "Don't worry, I will make you experience every single one of the death flavors those creatures have tasted."

At that moment, Zamasu suddenly felt a chill that came from his very soul, and he couldn't stop trembling.

That was not only because of Lu Li's devilish smile and words, but also because there was a certain synesthesia among the Zamas. Every death of a Zamasu would make the other Zamas feel the horror and pain of death.

He suddenly realized that as long as he continued to split endlessly, he would endlessly experience the pain and horror of death, and perhaps Lu Li would get tired of it and use other cruel methods to kill him and make him experience death.

Having figured this out, Zamasu lost all will to fight. He even forgot his grand plan to exterminate humanity. All he wanted to do now was escape.

Without hesitation, he ordered all the surviving Zamas to flee in all directions, in order to find a weak point in the warp and open a passage to the main world.

"Did I tell you to leave?"

Just then, a cold voice rang out from within the subspace.

At the same time, an invisible spiritual force descended from the sky, like a cold cage, freezing all the Zamas who had just started to move.

Lu Li raised his hand and pointed at the group of Zamas, "Black Coffins."

With his deep voice, a colossal black coffin, reaching to the heavens and earth, rose from the void, instantly trapping all of Zamasu inside.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling scream emanated from inside the black coffin, because this was Lu Li's super black coffin activated with the Origin Spirit Seed, which was even more powerful than the version released at full power after chanting.

The torrents inside the black coffin were constantly tearing at the flesh and souls of Zamasu, inflicting extreme pain on them every second. However, because of their immortality, Zamasu could not die completely and could only suffer endless torment inside the black coffin.

Lu Li had deliberately left one Zamasu, the original Zamasu, outside the black coffin. At this moment, that Zamasu was clutching his head, seemingly insane, crying out, "No...no, no, it hurts so much...no!!!"

Clearly, their souls seemed to be connected, so even though he didn't suffer personally, he could feel the pain of those Zamas, which made him feel like he was dying.

"Lu Li, is this really necessary? You've already won. Either arrest him and put him in jail, or just kill him already!"

Seeing this, Wukong frowned and said something, as if he was somewhat disgusted by Lu Li's behavior.

Because he could see that Lu Li had completely taken control of the situation and was capable of killing or capturing Zamasu, but Lu Li simply didn't do so, instead torturing and killing Zamasu.

Wukong is kind by nature and often forgives and lets go of his enemies, so he cannot understand Lu Li's behavior.

"Hmph, Kakarot, you're still so naive."

Before Lu Li could speak, Vegeta interjected, "You don't actually think that someone like Zamasu would repent, do you? If Lu Li can kill him, it means his soul will be completely erased. Zamasu won't even have a reincarnation. Do you think he'll receive the punishment he deserves? He won't even go to hell."

Gohan and Trunks, who initially thought Lu Li's behavior was inappropriate, heard Vegeta's words and realized that Vegeta's words made sense.

Zamasu has almost wiped out all life in Universe 10 and Universe 7 of this world. He is just slowly tormenting Earth. He has blood on his hands. If he is not punished, where is justice in this world?
"But... we could arrest him and send him to the Galaxy Prison to serve his sentence and be punished."

Wukong scratched his head and said, "Maybe he'll change his ways, and then we can fight him."

Lu Li, who was dealing with Zamasu, was speechless when he heard Goku's words. He was about to speak when he heard a warning sound from the space after killing one of the Zamasu and picking up the treasure chest.
