With the support of his mechanical transformation, the effectiveness of the Solar Flare multiplied exponentially!
Levos's body radiated like ten thousand suns, illuminating the entire battlefield in a blinding flash.
Even those watching from the temple felt a stabbing pain in their eyes and experienced temporary blindness.
The dazzling brilliance seemed to pierce through space itself.
Even from a distance, Champa and Rose Broly were forced to close their eyes, unable to look directly at the intense light below.
Closer to the source, both Rose Vegito and Rose Gogeta felt as though their eyeballs were being stabbed by needles, their vision overwhelmed by a sea of white.
Sensing something was wrong, the two quickly tried to retreat.
But it was too late.
"…Mafūba!"
Rose Vegito heard the name of this terrifying technique again, a name that made his soul tremble.
Burning through every ounce of power in his body, he bolted in desperate flight, zigzagging midair to break the spell's lock.
But it was useless. The Mafūba's spiral beam silently adjusted its path, chasing like a curse that clung to the bone.
Suddenly, Rose Vegito felt a familiar twisted force envelop him.
"Damn it!" he roared in unwilling fury.
Once again, he had been caught.
Though Rose Gogeta had never experienced being sealed himself, he had heard plenty from other dark beings about how bizarre and terrifying the Mafūba was.
They had even discussed possible counters to it.
But they never expected such a situation.
In terms of raw power, they utterly overwhelmed Levos.
And yet, the situation had been flipped on its head in an instant.
Hearing Rose Vegito's anguished screams, Rose Gogeta panicked.
Suddenly, inspiration struck. He gathered countless dark-purple energy orbs around his body.
"You want to seal me? Never! I'll destroy this entire planet with me!"
His voice roared with madness, but before he could trigger the explosion
A mysterious force seized him, pulling and spinning his body uncontrollably.
"How can a mere human possess a technique that defies gods?!"
The entire sky turned a brilliant green under the glow of Levos's Mafūba.
The thick spiral beam surged upward, ensnaring both Rose Vegito and Rose Gogeta, twisting them violently in midair.
From afar, Fused Zamasu's face twisted in horror.
He instinctively felt something like a startled cat, he leapt away, fleeing at full speed.
Levos noticed and snorted coldly.
With a flick of his wrist, the guiding beam veered off toward Fused Zamasu!
Compared to the others, Fused Zamasu's speed was clearly inferior.
Within an instant, the beam caught up and swallowed him whole!
"No Noooo!" he screamed, face twisted with terror. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!"
Moments later, three figures spun wildly within the spiral light, their bodies stretched and distorted.
No ordinary person could even track them with the naked eye. Only their anguished howls echoed faintly from within the beam.
If he had the choice, Levos would've preferred to seal Rose Broly instead.
But that was unlikely.
Against a vigilant opponent, the Mafūba stood little chance of success.
The power gap was too vast. In a head-on battle, the enemy could easily react.
All three dark fusions were significantly faster than the sealing beam. If they focused purely on escape, even Levos's precise control wouldn't be enough to catch them.
The technique only worked when the enemy let their guard down.
This time, the timing of the Solar Flare had been perfect.
Its effects had far exceeded expectations. A combination of multiple favorable factors had created this stunning result.
Of course, Levos owed much to Piccolo's training and to Android 18's sacrifice.
As his sparring partner, she had been reduced to a twitching mess at the sight of even the faintest green glow, gagging reflexively.
Through relentless practice and the aid of his mechanical form, Levos's mastery of the Mafūba had surpassed all predecessors.
He could now anchor multiple targets, control the trajectory of the beam, and prolong its external flight time.
The beam spiraled high above, dragging the three trapped dark warriors through the air.
Levos still had energy to spare and planned to let it fly a bit longer.
Once Champa finished off Rose Broly, he would seal the trio into his tail.
That way, his body wouldn't immediately explode from the pressure of absorbing so much power at once.
It would buy him precious time to find a true solution.
"Trunks! Get Kibito back to the temple for treatment!" Levos shouted toward the sky.
Controlling the Mafūba beam demanded absolute concentration.
Any lapse in focus could trigger a backlash.
The current situation allowed no room for error.
He had no time to care for the wounded and could only entrust the task to Future Trunks.
Moments later, Trunks located Kibito deep underground and flew toward the temple, cradling him in his arms.
Meanwhile, high above, Rose Broly's expression grew cold.
His gaze locked on the swirling green spiral below.
"…Time to end this."
Champa raised a hand, palm aimed at Rose Broly.
A purple energy sphere rimmed with black crackled in his grasp.
"This is the power of a God of Destruction. Once hit, even your soul won't remain. You won't even get the chance to reincarnate."
Rose Broly's face twisted with mania.
"Then come on. Let's see if you can do it!"
"Hmph." Champa sneered and flung the orb.
Rose Broly didn't dodge.
His eyes burned bright crimson, like flames dancing in a storm.
BOOM!
The energy orb slammed into his palms.
His rose-colored aura flickered violently, like a candle on the verge of being snuffed out.
"How… How is this possible?!" Champa stared in disbelief.
"You underestimated the potential of this body!" Rose Broly grinned, his voice frenzied and obsessed.
Though his arms trembled and sweat dripped down his forehead, his aura only intensified.
The fading rose flames suddenly reignited, blazing with renewed ferocity.
He still had power to fight back?!
"How can this be?" Champa's pupils shrank. "You're trying… to break your limits by borrowing my energy?!"
Gritting his teeth, Champa shook his arm, summoning another orb of destructive power in his palm.
With a flash, it shot forward, slamming into Rose Broly's chest before erupting into a blast of purple light.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" Rose Broly screamed to the heavens.
His body swelled unnaturally.
He stomped down hard with his left foot
CRACK!
Spiderweb fractures split the very fabric of space.
Even the earth beneath trembled.
The energy shockwave shook the heavens.
Even Levos's Mafūba beam wavered from the force.
"Stop wasting your breath." Rose Broly's voice rang out, cold and absolute. "You can't kill me, Champa."
Hearing that, Levos's heart sank.
