The most courageous pirate hunter

Hermes disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was in another research room, where there were also Vegapunk, Caesar, five others, and even a clone of him.

Compared to the S-cell transplantation project, the Time Machine project has achieved considerable success.

Hermes obtained 180 years of time machine research data after his clone entered his body.

"very good."

Hermes's depressed mood was finally comforted.

Although he hadn't figured out the time fuel for the time machine, he was confident that, given the time machine's characteristics, he could further improve the teleportation fruit's ability to reverse time and stop time.

In addition, the Genesis Plow, Genesis Ship, and Genesis Book can all be optimized.

Oh shit.

After 180 years, we've finally reaped some rewards.

In a trance.

Another half year has passed.

All told, a year has passed in the outside world.

In the Genesis Book of the Dragon Ball universe, on a relatively primitive life-bearing planet, no life has yet emerged. If there is any, it is only some microorganisms, so it is still quite desolate.

"Time machine."

On a rock, Trunks suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up and almost lost his footing. After looking around, he felt an unusual heaviness in his body.

It felt like I had slept for a very long time.

I did indeed sleep for a very long time.

It's only 360 years at most.

"you're awake."

A detached voice rang out, and Trunks immediately turned to his left, where Hermes was calmly looking at him from a huge rock.

"Give me back my time machine."

Trunks was taken aback at first, then roared angrily with a grim expression.

The reason for his surprise was that Hermes' current form was that of a Super Saiyan with Life Return, a form he had never seen before in the future.

Furthermore, because Hermes has the ability to return life, he is somewhat different from a Super Saiyan. For example, his body will occasionally emit steam and flames, along with white flame clouds floating on his shoulders.

With these embellishments, it gains a more sacred visual appeal.

If the golden aura of a Super Saiyan were to ignite, it would be even more magnificent.

Hermes didn't speak, but simply beckoned with his finger, which enraged Trunks. Golden flames quickly ignited around him, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan, appearing in front of Hermes in an instant.

"Snapped!"

The snap of fingers occurred.

Time stopped within a five-meter radius, Trunks was frozen in mid-air, his fist only a decimeter away from Hermes' face. In the blink of an eye, Hermes threw a punch.

The time stop also ended just then.

Trunks, his body bent over and face flushed, coughed up a mouthful of blood and then pierced through mountains before crashing to the ground and forming a basin.

"hateful."

As Trunks climbed out of the rubble, wiping the blood from his mouth, he stared at Hermes, who was gliding across the sky, his light green eyes filled with disbelief.

It was as if everything had just stopped.

What kind of ability is this?

"The Ultimate Flash".

have nothing to say.

Trunks stretched out his hands, gathered his energy, and brought them together in front of his chest. Then, he condensed a massive amount of energy, forming a shockwave that was wrapped in golden lightning. In one fell swoop, it swept across the sky and rushed toward Hermes.

This was taught to him by his father.

Its power is comparable to the Kamehameha.

boom! ! !

A massive explosion erupted, and Hermes did not dodge, taking the hit squarely. But before Trunks could even rejoice, the explosive energy began to recede.

After the flames of battle subsided.

Hermes appeared unharmed before Trunks' eyes.

"impossible."

Trunks was incredulous; he could even feel the explosive energy being continuously absorbed by Hermes. What kind of monster was this?

Is this all you're capable of?

Hermes raised his right hand high, and a rotating saw disc appeared, maintaining a size of about one meter, exuding a sharpness that could tear the soul apart.

"Qi Circle Slash".

Trunks' pupils widened.

He knows that trick too.

It's just a world of difference compared to Hermes's.

huh~

Hermes threw out the Sphere Slash, splitting everything in its path in two. Trunks dared not take it head-on and immediately jumped away, disappearing from the spot.

You can see the one-meter-sized Qi Sphere cutting through mountains with overwhelming force, eventually disappearing into the horizon.

Just as Trunks caught his breath, a sharp pain shot through his waist. Looking down, his eyes were filled with terror, for the Qi Circle Slash, which had disappeared into the horizon, had somehow returned and severed him in two at the waist.

impossible.

He clearly saw the Qi Circle Slash disappear on the horizon, so how could it appear behind him in an instant?

"Combining the Destructo Disc with the Teleportation Fruit really does create a surprise attack effect."

Hermes looked at Trunks, whose upper and lower body had separated, and stretched out his finger. The Sphere Slash flew back and spun on it. The Sphere Slash had indeed disappeared on the horizon, but he had teleported it back.

Let alone Trunks, even he himself might not have been able to avoid it.

Am I going to die?

Trunks' eyes gradually dimmed; he could feel his life slipping away, and he had been cut in half at the waist.

"Time rewind."

Just as Trunks was dying, a voice suddenly rang out, and then time rewound, quickly returning to the moment when Trunks had just woken up.

A clever trick.

Trunks, pale-faced, got up and quickly surveyed his surroundings before looking at Hermes in mid-air, his heart filled with uncertainty and horror.

He just seemed to have a dream.

He was killed by Hermes, who cut him in half with a slashing motion.

I subconsciously touched my side.

The lower body is still intact.

what happened?

Why did that dream feel so real?

Soon, Trunks felt the power within him increase again; he had inexplicably become stronger.

"Hermes, give me back the time machine."

Trunks didn't have time to think too much. Feeling the surge of power within him, he transformed back into a Super Saiyan with a serious expression. If Hermes didn't agree, he would take action.

"It seems you haven't reached the limit of Super Saiyan yet, so your near-death ability was triggered."

these 360 years.

Hermes has made great progress; the time reversal he just used is actually the divine rewind of the teleportation fruit.

Inspired by Trunks' time machine, he has taken God's time travel a step further. Previously, he could only return to three months in the past, but now he can also return to the past along with the environment within a five-meter radius.

The longest possible duration is three months.

To match the idea of ​​time stopping, they simply called it time reversal.

no doubt.

This move is powerful. If the previous retreat was a single-target skill, now it becomes an area-of-effect ability that includes the surrounding environment. Although the duration has not changed, it can affect the surrounding environment.

It has undoubtedly been greatly enhanced.

Let alone just 360 years, Hermes would have thought it was worth it even if it were 3600 years, because this was a breakthrough in the Instant Transmission Fruit's properties, an awakening within an awakening.

I'm not bragging.

Those weaker than Hermes can be defeated by time stop and rewind. However, those at the same level, or those with special abilities, can contend with these two abilities.

At least the impact won't be too great.
