Chapter 54 - chapter 54

Screen 1 – Future Trunks Meets Present Gohan

After a day of rest at Capsule Corp, Trunks feels a heavy guilt in his chest.

His world is destroyed. His friends are dead.

And the person he misses the most… is Gohan.

The Gohan who taught him how to fight.

The Gohan who died protecting him.

The Gohan who never got to live in peace.

So Trunks tells Bulma quietly:

> Trunks: "I want to see him… the Gohan of this timeline."

Silver and Blaze follow him, unsure of what to expect.

---

Screen 2 – The University Visit

Trunks enters the university courtyard.

Present Gohan walks out carrying books, smiling politely.

He's nothing like the warrior Trunks remembers.

He's calm.

He's gentle.

He's dressed neatly with glasses, acting more like a scholar than a fighter.

Silver tilts his head.

> Silver: "That's… Gohan? He looks so… normal."

Blaze whispers:

> Blaze: "He has no scars. No fear. He's living a life he never had in your world."

Trunks swallows hard.

---

Screen 3 – Trunks' Reaction

Gohan waves happily when he sees them.

> Gohan: "Hey! Trunks! Silver! Blaze! Bulma said you'd visit."

His voice is soft and genuine.

Warm.

Peaceful.

Trunks tries to speak but stops.

His chest tightens.

A memory flashes:

Future Gohan, missing an arm, standing alone against the Androids…

smiling before he dies.

Tears gather in Trunks' eyes before he can stop them.

Blaze gently places a hand on his shoulder.

Silver steps beside him silently.

Gohan, confused, asks:

> Gohan: "Are you okay? Did something happen?"

Trunks forces a small smile.

> Trunks: "No…

Just… happy to see you alive.

In this timeline, you finally got the peace you deserved."

Gohan, still not understanding the depth of Trunks' emotions, simply smiles back.

Trunks wipes his tears and breathes out slowly.

This moment confirms it:

This timeline is safe.

And this Gohan has the life Trunks' mentor never got to experience.

Screen 2 – Black Explains the Structure of His World to Nazo

A dark rift crackles open above the ruins of a dead universe.

Black floats beside Nazo, hands behind his back, speaking with calm arrogance.

Nazo crosses his arms, impatient.

> Nazo: "You keep talking about 'destroying universes'… but who exactly runs this place?

Who's supposed to stop you?"

Black smiles coldly.

> Goku Black: "Let me educate you.

My reality isn't like yours…

it has a system. A divine hierarchy."

He lifts a finger.

---

1. The Omni-King – Zeno

> Black: "At the top sits Zeno.

A childlike god who can erase anything.

A universe. A timeline. Even gods themselves."

Nazo raises an eyebrow.

> Nazo: "Some kid can erase universes?"

> Black: "Do not underestimate him.

Even I respect only Zeno."

---

2. The Grand Priest

Black's tone sharpens.

> Black: "Below Zeno is the Grand Priest—father of all angels.

One of the five strongest beings to exist.

Nothing escapes his sight."

Nazo scoffs.

> Nazo: "Sounds annoying. I'd crush him first."

Black chuckles softly.

> Black: "You wouldn't even touch him."

---

3. Angels

> Black: "Every universe has an Angel guide.

Whis. Vados. Merus.

They train the Destroyer Gods and enforce divine law."

Nazo tilts his head.

> Nazo: "So they're the real power?"

> Black: "Correct.

Even the Destroyers fear them."

---

4. Gods of Destruction

> Black: "Beerus. Champa. Belmod.

They wipe out worlds to keep balance.

They are dangerous… but still beneath Zeno and the Angels."

Nazo looks intrigued.

> Nazo: "Destroying worlds?

They sound like my kind of people."

---

5. Supreme Kais

> Black: "Creators.

They make life and planets.

If a Supreme Kai dies, the paired Destroyer dies as well."

Nazo smirks.

> Nazo: "So if I crush a Kai, I take out a Destroyer too?"

> Black: "Exactly."

---

6. Planetary Guardians & Time Gods

> Black: "Below them are planet guardians…

and the Supreme Kai of Time.

They do not matter."

Nazo flicks his Dark Chaos Emeralds into the air.

> Nazo: "Your whole universe is stacked with gods.

How did you survive killing your own?"

Black steps closer, eyes glowing.

> Goku Black: "Because unlike them…

I evolved beyond mortals and gods.

And with your Dark Chaos Emeralds…

we can erase this hierarchy entirely."

Nazo grins wickedly.

> Nazo: "Now you're speaking my language."

Black extends a hand.

> Goku Black: "Together, we can tear down everything.

Universes. Timelines. Gods."

Nazo shakes his hand, sparks of dark energy swirling.

> Nazo: "Let's break your reality."
