A strange suction force burst forth out of nowhere, pulling Fused Zamasu uncontrollably toward Levos.
In that split second, Zamasu slammed his foot into the ground with immense force.
Crack!
The once-solid terrain shattered beneath him, the shockwave spreading along the spiderweb of cracks beneath his heel.
He halted his backward momentum, twisted his torso midair
"What?!"
Zamasu's pupils dilated in alarm.
"With your potential, no matter how many near-death recoveries you undergo, there's no way you could reach the level needed to match me!"
Levos' gaze remained calm as he unleashed a punch with casual ease.
Yet that single blow filled Zamasu with a crushing sense of inevitability he couldn't dodge it!
BOOM!
A gaping hole exploded through Zamasu's abdomen, his divine halo behind him shattering into dust.
"H-How…?" Zamasu trembled in fear.
But before he could recover, the suction force wrapped around his body like a net.
He struggled to escape but it was useless.
In the next instant, he vanished from sight.
Zamasu… had been absorbed again by Levos.
"Welcome home."
Levos exhaled slowly. His silver tail coiled, violently compressing Zamasu's twisted form inside it.
He glanced at his now-sleek tail, visibly satisfied.
"My power has evolved to the point where I can now compress Fused Zamasu's body into an ultra-small state. I still can't fully absorb him, but at least my tail won't hinder me in battle anymore."
He looked up.
Goku Black Vegito was already charging at him, face twisted in fury.
Levos surged forward to meet him.
Full-Power Rosé Vegito was indeed terrifyingly strong.
Even with Levos and Cooler fighting side by side, they were barely able to hold off his relentless assault. Every exchange was dangerous, life-threatening.
If not for Levos' refined combat technique in his mechanical form, he would've been overwhelmed long ago by Vegito's rapid, unpredictable attacks.
Cooler's mechanical body, meanwhile, was being ripped apart.
The other Cooler clones and Frieza couldn't even join the fight anymore the gap in strength was too immense.
Fortunately, Levos' current body functioned like a perpetual motion engine, providing him with endless energy.
Even after being injured by Vegito, his mechanical nature allowed him to regenerate almost instantly.
"In this form, as long as my core remains intact and retains energy, I can regenerate my body in an instant."
Compared to Namekian limb regeneration, this was on another level entirely.
"This form has more unique qualities than the gene-evolution path. I still have much to explore."
Levos parried blow after blow while internalizing his body's capabilities.
The more he fought, the sharper his instincts grew.
He'd now completely surpassed Cooler in raw power.
As expected nothing improves combat prowess faster than real battle!
But the situation was growing desperate.
If he didn't find a breakthrough soon, all of them Cooler, Frieza, even himself would fall to Goku Black Vegito.
He needed a plan.
A flash of insight struck him.
Levos inhaled deeply. Amid the storm of Vegito's assault, he suddenly stopped moving.
He didn't dodge.
Didn't block.
BOOM!
Vegito's fist pierced clean through Levos' chest.
His body flew backward, smashing into the ground with a thunderous crash.
Dust and debris exploded outward.
Vegito, sensing victory, didn't waste time.
Instead, he turned and launched a full-scale assault on Cooler.
This was his moment he would kill Cooler while Levos was down!
Cooler's eyes widened. He couldn't withstand this flurry.
His already-damaged body began to crumble.
CRACK!
Both his arms shattered, scattering mechanical fragments everywhere.
Without hesitation, Vegito lunged and drove a fist through Cooler's chest.
Then, pressing his palm against the gaping wound, he unleashed a devastating energy blast.
BOOM!
Half of Cooler's body vanished in the explosion.
Vegito floated beside the shattered remains, his eyes filled with contempt.
One finger reached for Cooler's forehead.
"This is the end. Accept judgment from a god."
Below, Frieza screamed in defiance.
He rocketed upward to stop Vegito.
But before he got close
Vegito kicked him viciously in the gut.
Frieza crumpled.
Then Vegito caught him by the head.
"Y-You bastard!" Frieza growled through clenched teeth.
But then… his eyes widened.
Something was coming.
He looked down.
A massive green beam surged upward through the smoke.
A sealing wave the Mafūba was rising like a dragon from the earth!
"Mafūbaaaaaa !!"
Frieza poured all his remaining strength into resisting.
But Vegito moved faster than anyone anticipated.
"Foolish mortal. That same trick again?!"
He cackled. "You think it'll work twice on me?!"
With swift precision, he hurled both Frieza and Cooler into the path of the spiraling green energy.
But
Vegito's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
The beam dodged.
It curved around Frieza.
Then curved around Cooler.
Then twisted sharply and struck him directly in the chest.
The beam had a will of its own.
A will bent on sealing him and only him.
Levos had improved the technique.
Vegito's body began to distort spinning, stretching, warping.
He was being bound by an unstoppable force.
"No! AAAAAAAHHHH!!"
Seconds later, the sealing beam, controlled precisely by Levos, shot back down to the ground.
After his brutal torture at the hands of Android 18, Levos had mastered the Mafūba.
Now, combined with the surgical precision of his mechanical body, the technique's power had surged dramatically.
Goku Black Vegito couldn't even struggle.
Levos' silver-white tail opened at the tip.
SWOOSH!
The beam shot straight into his tail sealed.
"…I don't know how long I can contain him," Levos muttered grimly. "But I hope I can absorb at least a bit of his power."
There was no joy on his face.
Only focus.
The battle wasn't over yet.
