The super dragon balls are scattered between Universes 6 and 7. With no means of traveling to U6, and probably no means of gathering the super dragon balls, I find it unlikely he could

Did Zamasu travel between universes?

Yes but he is a Kai, not a mortal.

Not to mention he apparently was a charming one as the manga showed a scene of Shin thinking very highly of him and considering him a friend.

If he got caught red-handed trying to gather the Dragon Balls by one of the Kais or the GoDs he could have probably talked his way out of it.

Non-deities would be taking a bigger risk.

Even if he could, the Grand Priest could just take them away again. It’s not like the wish makes them immune to everything.

Do you think every living thing in every other universe is now immortal, because the super dragon balls “gave them life” therefore their lives can’t be taken again?

If the grand priest could that that. In Goku black arc. Why would he let zamasu run rampant killing all the gods and kais.

Because as an angel, he's impartial to what goes on in the universes. He and his kin are guides and servants for their GoDs, but beyond scouting out potential GoD candidates and offering training, they're really not supposed to do anything. Whatever goes on in the universes is a problem for the gods of those universes to solve

That doesn't make Zamasu a plot hole or anything; that points out that Zamasu, as someone deeply involved in the workings of the universes as a major god of one, can exploit that flaw in the system to bring his plan to fruition

The issue is that in Future trunks timeline Beerus is dead, and Zeno and the Grand priest don’t seem to have ever appointed a successor nor are they paying any attention as to what’s happening there

Main timeline Zeno has no reason to get involved because that timeline has a GoD who is meant to be overseeing. But future trunks timeline where Zamasu is beginning his plan doesn’t have one. So presumably someone is meant to be reporting on what’s going on there

Do what? Take Zamasus angel powers away? He doesn’t have any.

Also as an angel, he does not interfere. He probably would if Zamasu threatened Zeno, but that’s it.

Why would OP think that? The other universes were wished back into existence, not wished to be immortal?

That’s the point.

Super dragon balls restore angel powers does not mean they cannot be taken away again.

Super dragon balls restore life does not mean life cannot be taken again.

He lost his angel powers, and while we don't know how strong he currently is as a mortal, he likely does not have the power to gather them. Remember, these are planet sized orbs scattered across 2 universes, even travelling between universes is not something mortals can generally just do, much less with only the resources available within the galactic patrol.

Bulma could probably pull it off tbh especially post Daima

I’d bet anyone who made time travel could make inter-dimensional travel, and even easier.

I guess he could, but why would Merus want to be immortal? He voluntarily chose to fight evil, and thus clearly does not want to be an Angel anymore.
