Time Rings
Mysterious artifacts that allow their bearers to travel between alternate timelines.
The Time Rings are ancient artifacts that appear in the Future Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super. They are used by Zamasu, a Kaioshin apprentice from Universe 10 of an alternate timeline, who steals Goku's body using the Super Dragon Balls and travels through time using a Time Ring. The rings allow travel to alternate timelines, as demonstrated when Zamasu uses one to ally himself with Future Zamasu in Future Trunks' timeline.

Reader's Guide
The Time Rings are used by Zamasu, a Kaioshin apprentice from Universe 10 of an alternate timeline, to travel between alternate timelines. After using the Super Dragon Balls to steal Goku's body from an alternate timeline and kill him, Zamasu employs a Time Ring to journey to Future Trunks' timeline. There he joins forces with Future Zamasu to eliminate all mortal life. The rings appear to be usable by Supreme Kai-level beings, as Zamasu is a Kaioshin apprentice. The rings do not allow users to change events in their own timeline—rather, they enable travel to alternate timelines, as Zamasu moves between different realities. The ultimate fate of the rings is tied to the erasure of the future timeline by Future Zeno, which eliminates that version of the artifacts.
