(3rd POV)
Zamasu teleported back to the natural domain in Universe 10. The former apprentice questioned where to start. His other self had caused some much chaos and raging destruction that he wasn't sure where to begin. Usually he'd have someone to ask for help, but he was gone.
Clearly the first part of rebuilding the realm of the gods was to start from the ground up. Though he wasn't quite sure how, he was hoping he could establish civilization again in the millions of years he'd be sorting through the damage.
Black's little skirmish of misguided fanatical injustice caused millions of years worth of damage, even for an immortal it would drag for an eternity with no one else to accompany him.
As much as he hated to admit it, Cus's presence would have been just amazing at the moment. She was overly energetic and a bit annoying in his mind, but being the last of your kind made things rather lonely. He was already feeling isolated walking around his home, not feeling safe despite knowing no other presence loomed there.
Hopefully when things are back to normal he can be reverted back to his Supreme Kai status once more. Though that won't be happening anytime the foreseeable future given the disaster Black left behind in his wake.
The World Core was clearly the best place to start. So he looked towards the destruction and chaos that was in the wake before him. The tree was gone, everything was a mess. Repairing this would certainly be a long job…
"Thanks a lot Black, I'm cleaning up your mess for a good portion of my life…Just how I imagined spending millions of years." He snarled to himself, bitter and cold at his new job. He had to clean up the destruction Black caused, and that was going to take millions of years to fix in the slightest. It would take who knows how long to get things even close to where they used to be.
He looked at the destroyed pillars and sighed, hands firmly placed at his hip."Alright, first order of business is to construct the palaces he ruined. Though I'm not certain where to start."
Everything was dibrees and most likely unsuitable to be used as parts. Though there was that pillar that didn't look too damaged...
He grabbed a pillar with his telekinesis, only for it to snap it half when placed it on the ground."Damn it! Guess I'll have to start from scratch."
Back to the drawing board it seems. Using any pieces from the previous construction was pointless, it was broken beyond repair. Times were really changing, unfortunately. And he had the misfortune of being the one to rebuild the new era by himself.
This was far from what he imagined to be when he got a high position to put it mildly. Now he had to rebuild the entire palaces and architect from millions of years ago back from scratch. The materials for such a feat would also become a bit of an issue as it had to be stable.
Thankfully as a former Supreme Kai in training, creating building blocks wasn't an issue. Though they weren't his expertise given he was supposed to be creating planets, not an architect, he was certain he could do the task.
And thus, the process of rebuilding was put in order. Zamasu did his best conjure up materials needed for construction and afterwards, sculpted a design for the new building. It had been so long since he had been in the World Core that his memory was hazy, so whilst some parts resembled the old most of it was what he recently came up with.
"Construction isn't my specialty, but until other kais are created I'm sure they'll tolerate the design. Besides, I believe I have improved it greatly."
Of course he loved his work,the construction was a bit of a pain. He carefully set each stepping stone for the temple in place. It took hours upon hours to complete. By the time he was finished Zamasu was dreading going to reconstruct the next temple.
"Good gods, that was straining. To think I'm going to have to do this eleven more times…" And this was only scratching the surface of the damage his other self caused. How utterly fantastic.
By the time he was finished building the structure he felt a bit of satisfaction. Despite all the pain and misery caused, at least he finally got to show off his work and how great he is...if only Black hadn't killed everyone who would have congratulated him for pulling off such a masterpiece.
He didn't have that many friends to begin with, once he gained an apprenticeship he discontinued his friendships to pursue his career. Gowasu was the only person who bothered to grace him with his presence, so knowing that they were gone as well didn't help. As annoying as certain kai's were he was starting to miss them considering how alone he was.
It just didn't feel right...
He sighed, his fleeting sense of accomplishment already discussed at the reminder of the situation at hand."Time for the next Universe…"
And so he repeated the process over, over, and over. Until every temple was rebuilt from scratch. It wasn't difficult since he didn't require rest anyhow, but it was definitely emotionally draining to constantly rebuild what his other self destroyed. To think he was going to be doing this for millions of years wasn't something he was very fond of.
Once finished with construction, at least until he thought of building other places, he decided to plant the seeds the Minister gave to him. It would take millions of years for other kais to show up...but it was a start. The mayhem Black started would be ruining his life for now and possibly forever.
As much as Zamasu hated to admit it, he knew what had other self truly got what he wanted. Militant change for his world ideals...Just not the way he wanted perhaps, but it certainly ended up changing.
Zamasu placed the seed in the ground, once he did the last one and smiled as the rare sight of water poured of Universe 10. Usually he couldn't care less about the rain, but now it was refreshing sight.
A new era, filled with reconstruction and rebuilding palaces and architecture, and even relationships once there are others like him. Black may have won the war, but he'll be damned if he's going to let him take the multiverse with him to the grave.
"I wonder what heaven is like up there, I bet Master Gowasu is enjoying himself.…" Maybe he can go to afterlife and pay him a visit one day….
But until that day came, he had a multiverse to save.
