The Young Master Syndrome Peaks

"Ignorant mortal, do you really think you can kill me?"

"Even the Angel standing next to you doesn't have the ability to kill me, let alone a mere mortal like you!"

"Even if you possess the power of a god within your body, I still don't take you seriously."

"And even if you truly have the ability to kill me, do you understand the consequences? Your planet, your entire universe, will suffer catastrophe because of your foolish decision..."

Marcus remained as arrogant as ever, fully convinced that the mortal before him had no chance of killing him.

Even if, by some miracle, this mortal had the ability to end his life, the cost would be unbearable. The consequences would be devastating—this universe, this entire dimension, would be destroyed because of one reckless action. That day would come soon.

Seeing Marcus's overwhelming arrogance, Krillin and the others clenched their fists tightly. Even now, bound so tightly that he couldn't move, he still carried himself with such an air of superiority.

They couldn't understand where he found the confidence to be so arrogant in front of Goten.

Even the Grand Priest and Zeno couldn't harm Goten—so how could this so-called demon be an exception?

Goten, hearing Marcus's words, frowned slightly. Then, a playful smile appeared on his face.

"You've reached this point, and yet, I still don't know where you get such confidence," Goten said.

"For me, killing someone like you is easier than crushing an ant. As for the so-called power behind you, I don't care at all. Because if they dare to invade this universe and cause trouble, I will bury them all here."

Goten spoke with unwavering seriousness. He no longer feared the Grand Priest or Zeno. After comprehending the power of the new Laws, he was confident that he could stand against them.

The moment his voice fell, Goten suddenly clenched his right hand.

In an instant, Marcus's body began to compress.

Crack!

Crack!!

The chilling sound of bones cracking echoed.

As Goten applied more force, Marcus's body contorted into an unnatural shape. Bulging veins spread across his body, his facial features twisted in agony, and fresh red cracks formed in his eyes.

Clearly, he was in excruciating pain.

"Damn… Damn mortal! Let me go!" Marcus roared in agony.

"Do you even understand what will happen if you kill me? This timeline, this dimension of yours—it will be completely destroyed!"

The searing pain and the shadow of death looming over him shattered Marcus's arrogance. Panic replaced his former pride. He never expected that this mortal would truly dare to kill him.

"Didn't you just say I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Goten sneered.

"Then watch me."

"I'm not just going to kill you—I'm going to make sure you suffer before you die. Feel every ounce of pain. Experience something far worse than hell itself!"

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Goten's eyes. He feared neither the Grand Priest nor Zeno.

A mere demon like Marcus? He was nothing. Even if he had the backing of a Demon Supreme Kai, it meant nothing.

To Goten, they were just insignificant clowns. No matter how strong they claimed to be, they could never surpass the Grand Priest or Zeno. And if they ever dared to set foot in this dimension—he would make sure they were buried here.

"You bastard… Let me go now!" Marcus's voice trembled with fear.

"My father is the Dragon God Zalama! If you dare to kill me, he will make you pay the price! Your entire timeline will be erased!"

For the first time, Marcus revealed the powerful figure backing him.

Dragon God Zalama.

The very being he referred to as his father. Of course, he wasn't actually Zalama's biological son. He was a demon created by the Dragon God Zalama through mysterious powers—just like the Super Dragon Balls.

"Oh? Dragon God Zalama?" Goten raised an eyebrow.

"So, your background is quite strong, huh? You have such a powerful father? But do you really think that will save you?"

"I'm sorry to say this, but no one can save you today."

Hearing Marcus claim that Zalama was his father, Goten was slightly surprised.

After all, Zalama was a legendary figure. He had been mentioned in Dragon Ball Super, but never actually appeared. Some even rumored that he was the former Grand Priest.

It was said that because of his ambition to usurp Zeno's position, he was completely sealed away. A being who was sealed by both Zeno and the Grand Priest? To be honest, Goten didn't care at all.

"Now, continue to feel the slow agony of death!"

With that, Goten clenched his fist tighter.

Crack! Crack! Crack!!

The sound of Marcus's bones shattering grew louder. His body had been completely twisted and deformed. If it weren't for the mysterious power restraining him, Marcus could have regenerated from a single remaining cell.

But now, every single one of his abilities was sealed. He couldn't heal. He couldn't escape. All he could do was feel pain… and wait for his end.

Boom!

For two whole minutes, the pain continued. Finally, Marcus's body exploded under the intense pressure. He disintegrated into a cloud of black mist—then vanished without a trace. Even his aura had completely disappeared.

The moment Marcus was killed, everything fell silent. Zamasu's expression twisted in sheer terror. Marcus was far stronger than him.

To put it bluntly, Marcus could have erased him in an instant. Yet, this so-called invincible being had been crushed so easily by the mortal standing before them. It truly was easier than crushing an ant. Even the evil Saiyan Cumber, who was still being suppressed by Broly, looked horrified.

Without Marcus, their side had no chance of turning the tide. At this moment, Cumber felt the true despair of powerlessness.

The battle was already over.

"Amazing… That was incredible!! That kid… He looks so much like Kakarot. Could he be Kakarot's son?"

"If that's the case, then this kid is far too powerful..."

Bardock had stopped fighting Goku. He turned to look at Goten, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

This boy's face was nearly identical to both himself and Goku. Was this truly Goku's son?
