I'm confused about what Zeno destroyed for killing Zamasu, did he destroy just
the Earth, the entire Universe, or the 12 universes?

What did Zeno destroy?


I'm assuming your referring to episode 67. Zeno said the following:

> A world like this must be destroyed.

> I believe it safe to assume that the earth was destroyed but not the entire
> universe. If Zeno did destroy the entire universe there wouldn't have been a
> way to use the time machine to go back and get him because time is a
> component of a universe. No universe, no time, no travel by time machine.

The above was my original answer to this question until I read chapter 18 of
the manga and Whis said the following below.

Based off of this and prior knowledge we received in the anime that the King
of All has destroyed universes before. I now believe it is safe to say that he
actually destroyed the entire Universe in that timeline.

Previously I argued that if a Universe doesn't exist time can't exist either.
And this is stepping away from anime for a bit but physics tells us that

> Matter cannot be created or destroyed only transformed

So in summation after a little research I've come to a different conclusion.

**Even if existence as we define it comes to an end. Time does not, we may
lose the capacity to quantify or comphrehend it but time is everpresent.**

I can honestly believe that this is a valid answer.

I think what Zeno did was possibly destroy all matter in universe 7, or at
least broke it down so it could eventually form or birth a whole new universe.
So the way I see it, he did not destroy space time, he merely broke down all
matter in that universe so it could start anew. As for why he left the rest of
the universes behind to go to the present with Goku doesn't make sense to me.
I guess one could argue that maybe he destroyed matter in all universes to
reset everything for a new start, and would have to wait a very long time for
matter to form into 12 new universes, similar to how our own universe took an
estimated 15 billion years to get to where it is now from the Big Bang. So
maybe he left that universe behind to go with Goku to the present because he
knew he'd have nothing to do for billions of years. Just an idea...

I also think it's reasonable to assume he had to at least destroy all matter
in universe 7 since Zamasu had begun trying to take it over. I would also
think that Zamasu was trying to take over all universes since that was his
plan originally, so maybe Zeno had a reason to destroy all matter in all
universes since Zamasu was spreading so rapidly....

In the anime , Zeno states that a world like this should not exist and
destroys the place. Since it states "world" and since the future timeline is
different from the past timeline in DBS, I believe he destroyed the future
timeline's earth, although I am just assuming this from the fact it says
"world" in the anime.

I would like to believe Zeno destroyed all the universes in order to start
again because Zamasu killed all the gods—that is, the Kaioshins of other
universes. Zeno, being the childlike being that he is, decided to reset rather
than try to find a way to revive everyone that had died (which I suppose he
would not do since it's "unnatural"). So, aside from the universe being
corrupted by Zamasu, each universe was essentially without guidance.

When Goku and Trunks go to retrieve future Zeno, you could see that he wasn't
floating in space space, but an odd, distorted, white/blank space. This
doesn't confirm whether or not he destroyed other universes, but it would
kinda be an explanation as to why Zeno is okay with traveling with Goku.
