"Kahn...?"
Bulma woke up from her dream, only to find that Kahn was no longer there.
She lay in bed dazed for a few seconds before sitting up and noticing the note he had left on the table.
After reading its contents, her anxious heart finally calmed down.
The message was simple—Kahn had returned to the main timeline and would visit again when he had the time. He asked her to live well on her own until then.
After seeing the note, Bulma realized that everything that happened yesterday with Kahn was real. If not for this, she might have thought it was just an incredibly vivid dream.
Thinking back on their date and the madness of last night, a happy smile appeared on her lips.

Main Timeline – Capsule Corporation
With the defeat of Goku Black and Zamasu and the restoration of the Earth in the future timeline, the space rift that had once stretched over West City vanished.
The evil aura had disappeared, and everything had returned to normal.
On the second-floor terrace, Kahn sat with his legs crossed, a faint smile on his face.
"A mere Supreme Kai apprentice from Universe 10 tried to stir up chaos across time and space. It's already been taken care of," Kahn said calmly.
"Husband, the Zamasu from our timeline still exists," Zalama reminded him. "Should we get rid of him?"
"Huh? Didn't you just say that both the future Zamasu and the one from our timeline have been dealt with?" Bulma asked, scratching her head in confusion. "Why is he still alive?"
Zalama explained, "In theory, yes. But the future timeline isn't just a simple extension of our timeline. Strictly speaking, it is a parallel timeline. So even if my husband went there and killed the Zamasu of that world, the Zamasu of this main timeline still exists."
"This is so confusing..." Android 18 sighed, rubbing her forehead.
Raditz shrugged. "Yeah, it's kind of hard to wrap my head around."
"Because of the major disruptions in the future timeline, our main timeline split and created a parallel reality," Kahn explained. "I went to that future timeline and eliminated the Zamasu from that world, but the Zamasu in this timeline remains."
"Oh! Now I get it!" Bulma nodded.
Android 18 and Raditz also seemed to understand after Kahn's explanation.
Vados narrowed her eyes and said, "To completely eliminate the threat, we should deal with the Zamasu in this timeline as well. If we don't, history may repeat itself."
"Agreed. Zamasu is too extreme. He's unfit to be a Supreme Kai," Kahn nodded.
Zamasu's ideology had taken root when he studied under Gowasu. Observing human conflicts, greed, and violence, he developed a deep resentment toward mortals, leading to his radical plan of eradicating them.
But his perspective was too simplistic—human civilization evolves through struggles and conflicts.
Kahn stood up. "Zalama, let's head to Universe 10's Supreme Kai Realm."
"Alright," Zalama replied.

Universe 10 – Supreme Kai Realm
Gowasu and Zamasu sat across from each other, the elder Kai teaching his apprentice about the responsibilities of a Supreme Kai.
At that moment, Kahn and Zalama descended from the sky.
Startled, Gowasu immediately stood up, pulling Zamasu with him as they both knelt.
"Greetings, Lord Kahn, Grand God of Destruction! Greetings, Lord Dragon God Zalama!" Gowasu said respectfully.
"Rise," Kahn said indifferently.
Gowasu stood but remained cautious. "Lord Kahn, I was unaware of your visit today. Please forgive me for not preparing a welcome."
"No need for formalities." Kahn waved his hand dismissively. "What were you doing just now?"
"I was instructing Zamasu on the duties of a Supreme Kai," Gowasu explained.
"I see..." Kahn smirked. He didn't bother with pleasantries and instead got straight to the point. "Then tell me, are you aware that your apprentice is already harboring thoughts of killing you?"
Gowasu froze.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Zamasu's forehead.
"That's impossible!" Gowasu exclaimed in disbelief. "Why would Zamasu want to kill me!?"
Kahn merely smiled and said nothing.
Gowasu hesitated but then turned to Zamasu. "Zamasu, is what Lord Kahn said true?"
As a God of Destruction, Kahn had no reason to deceive him. But at the same time, Gowasu couldn't believe his own student would betray him.
Despite his internal panic, Zamasu remained outwardly calm.
"Master Gowasu, how could I possibly do such a thing?" Zamasu said smoothly. "You are my teacher—I respect and appreciate everything you've taught me. Why would I ever wish you harm?"
He then looked directly at Kahn and added, "Lord Kahn, I know you hold great authority as a Grand God of Destruction, but that does not give you the right to slander me without proof."
For a moment, Gowasu didn't know who to believe.
On one hand, Zamasu was his apprentice—someone he thought he understood well. On the other, Kahn, as a God of Destruction, wouldn't have come all the way here just to fabricate such a claim.
Kahn didn't waste words arguing. Instead, he simply glanced at Zalama.
Zalama nodded and raised her hand.
A glowing light curtain appeared in the air.
Within it, scenes played out—scenes of an alternate Zamasu killing Gowasu, stealing the Time Ring, traveling to the future, collaborating with Future Zamasu, using the Super Dragon Balls to steal Goku's body, and executing the Zero Mortals Plan.
The events were shown in perfect clarity, leaving no room for doubt.
When it ended, Gowasu was frozen in shock.
He couldn't believe what he had just seen—his own student, committing such heinous acts.
"Z-Zamasu... how do you explain this!?" Gowasu stammered, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and disappointment.
The evidence was undeniable.
Zamasu staggered back, his forehead drenched in sweat.
Kahn folded his arms. "I already went to the future timeline and destroyed the Zamasu there. If I had arrived in time, you would have been dead within minutes."
He then looked at Gowasu.
"Now, tell me, do you still believe you truly understand your student?"
