"Ohoho! Got it!" Fat Buu chirped happily.

Levos smiled faintly. "Then…"

He spread his palms and thrust upward.

"Evil Containment Wave!"

WOOOM

A surge of green light erupted, painting the sky in a sinister glow.

"What…?" The clones of Fused Zamasu froze mid-air, staring upward.

The next instant, their expressions twisted in horror.

"Not good!"

"Careful!"

"Damn it again?!"

"Cursed mortal, how despicable!"

Shouts of panic rang out.

The green spiral spread, a vortex that devoured all in its path.

"AAHHHHH!"

Screams and curses overlapped as wave after wave of Zamasus were dragged into the sweeping current, unable to escape.

The once arrogant, untouchable godlings now fled in disarray, scrambling like frightened prey.

No matter how fast they pushed themselves, none could escape the gravitational pull of the Evil Containment Wave.

Evil Super Buu bellowed in rage. "They're mine! I can absorb them all!"

Levos's expression never changed calm, even kind, a harmless smile on his lips. Yet the coiling beam suddenly swerved toward Buu himself.

Evil Buu's eyes widened. He swerved desperately, narrowly dodging as the green current tore across the battlefield, snaring even more Zamasus.

The temple trembled under the unnatural light. The warriors stared, unsettled.

"This… this is insane!"

"Levos, how did you master this technique to such perfection?"

But Levos had no time to answer. Controlling such a vast containment wave stretched even his heightened power to the limit.

At last, the torrent corralled nearly all of the remaining Zamasu clones.

"Buu! Open your mouth!"

Fat Buu didn't hesitate he threw his jaw wide, stretching like a black hole.

RUMMMBLE!

The Containment Wave compressed into a narrow beam and poured straight into Buu's maw.

The endless torrent of Zamasu clones vanished down his throat.

When the green light faded, Fat Buu's belly bulged grotesquely, swollen like a balloon ready to burst.

Everyone stiffened in fear surely he would explode from the sheer volume. He had swallowed not only as many as Evil Buu, but stronger clones as well.

Levos, too, held his breath.

Then Fat Buu hiccupped contentedly, eyes curling into crescents.

"Yay! Yay! I got stronger too!"

To their shock, his distended belly shrank rapidly back to its usual round shape.

Levos frowned, puzzled. "Strange. With how much you've absorbed, your body should've transformed like his. Why not?"

Fat Buu puffed up proudly. "Because I can look any way I want! You said I look handsome like this, remember? Ohoho!"

Everyone stared at him, speechless.

Levos sighed inwardly and turned his focus back to the dwindling battlefield.

"Buu, let's finish this. We can't give Zamasu another chance to split."

Fat Buu's ki now rivaled Evil Buu's peak. Against Zamasu clones, he would dominate.

"Mm!" Fat Buu nodded eagerly and bounded off after the survivors.

Levos appeared before one cowering Zamasu, his tail unfurling. The god's eyes bulged in terror as he realized what was coming.

But before Levos could strike, Evil Buu hurtled in, snarling.

"You stole my food! Now I'll eat you!"

Levos arched a brow and stilled his movements.

Evil Buu's flesh warped into a vast net, stretching to engulf both Levos and the Zamasu.

Silver light flashed Levos cloaked himself in his mechanical form, a silver-white shield wrapping tight around his body. He made no attempt to resist, letting the pink mass swallow him whole.

Inside, his form shrank, moving freely within Buu's flesh.

"These cells… astonishing. They can devour endlessly."

He searched carefully, but found no trace of Zamasu's true body. So none of these were the real one after all.

Still, the decision was clear.

Time to turn this parasite into nourishment.

Levos drilled through a vent in Buu's flesh and emerged into the open air once more, body rapidly restoring to full size.

Evil Buu staggered back in disbelief. "You… I ate you!"

Levos conjured twin blades of ki, his gaze calm. "Yes. And now, it's my turn to eat you."

SHHHK! SHHHK! SHHHK!

In a flurry of blinding strikes, Evil Buu's body was carved into chunks.

Levos's silver tail split apart, lashing like a thousand serpents, dragging every piece of pink flesh inside.

"Now to test my theory."

From Moro's arc, Levos knew: when Buu split into good and evil halves, the Good Buu inherited the Grand Supreme Kai's magic while the Evil Buu retained divine power. Even when reborn as Uub, that force still lingered.

He had also learned from Dabura of the strange forces that existed in this universe: [Divine Power], [Light Power], [Dark Power], [Time Power].

Mechikabura, the dark Kaioshin, had once commanded several of these seventy-five million years ago. Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, ruled [Time Power].

From the moment he saw Evil Buu, Levos had wanted to seize that divine energy.

So he raised Buu to his limits… and then consumed him.

Even if it wasn't exactly the same as [Divine Power], Levos couldn't afford to waste such an opportunity. Perhaps this was the key to a new path one worthy of the gods themselves.

His focus narrowed on his tail.

He felt it an immense force within, struggling desperately.

But against Levos's might, Evil Buu had no chance.

Soon the thrashing subsided.

Power flooded into Levos's body not chaotic like Zamasu's, but gentle, refining, strengthening every cell.

Behind his head, a faint halo shimmered for an instant.

Around him, the raging storm fell still.

Levos closed his eyes, a smile ghosting his lips.

"As expected… a new path of evolution has opened."
