Kurdr wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gritting his teeth. "Damn it! What the hell is with that freakish ability?!"

Fused Zamasu sneered coldly. "Foolish mortals could never comprehend the techniques of a god."

Captain Ginyu's expression darkened. "Tch… If only I could draw out this body's full potential, there's no way I'd lose to a monster like you!"

"Hah! You dare speak of potential before a god? Ridiculous." Zamasu scoffed.

"You're even more arrogant than I am!" Kurdr exploded in rage, golden aura surging wildly around him. "Die!"

With a roar, Kurdr lunged forward, his razor-sharp horns aimed straight at Fused Zamasu's chest like twin lances.

Zamasu's eyes glimmered with cold malice. With a casual flick of his wrist, a blade of dark red energy coalesced in his palm, radiating wicked intent. He slashed it through the air.

Clang!

Sparks exploded as the blade cleaved through Kurdr's horns, sending both fragments flying through the air.

Just as Zamasu was about to drive his blade into Kurdr's heart, a massive shadow loomed over him. A colossal tail, blooming like a monstrous flower, unfurled and enveloped him.

Zamasu's smirk turned sinister. He suddenly stabbed the energy blade into his other palm.

Zzzraaaak!

Space itself cracked open. From the rift, he yanked out a massive scythe, pulsing with overwhelming destructive energy. With a single sweep, the weapon slashed outward.

Slash!

A brilliant arc of light burst forth Captain Ginyu's giant tail was severed clean off!

Without hesitation, Zamasu swung again. Twin crosses of pitch-black energy converged and slashed down upon Ginyu's massive body.

Squelch! Squelch!

Dark purple ichor spurted out like fountains.

"Arghhh!" Ginyu howled in pain, his hulking form flung backward like a broken mountain.

Kurdr recoiled, horror on his face as he rapidly retreated.

At that moment, two golden streaks of light blazed upward.

"Monaka! Die!"

The two fusion warriors blitzed toward Dark Monaka, fists charged with immense power, ready to strike.

Panic was written all over Monaka's face. "Stop them! Somebody stop them!"

"You'll never reach him!" Zamasu barked.

Another spatial rift tore open. Zamasu grabbed Monaka by the collar and flung him inside!

The next moment, Dark Monaka's figure appeared at the edge of a high-altitude time-space fissure. The pull of the temporal vortex quickly began drawing him in.

"Final Kamehameha!"

"Ultimate Masenko!"

The fusion warriors unleashed torrents of energy toward the rift with all their might.

But the beams disappeared into the abyss without even a ripple.

When the storm of ki finally faded, Monaka was nowhere to be seen.

"Hahahaha! Useless! Your strength isn't enough to shatter a temporal rift. Besides..." Zamasu's mocking voice echoed again, "Isn't this what you were after all along?"

Everyone's eyes snapped toward him he now held a small bulging pouch in his hand.

Their expressions darkened instantly.

"We have to destroy those Senzu Beans," Gohanks muttered grimly.

Gokanks nodded. "Then we'll go all out. No holding back!"

"RAAAAAHHH!"

Veins bulged along his forehead as he roared. Thunder cracked across the sky as dark clouds rolled in.

BOOM!

Lightning rained down in torrents, scorching the battlefield. The earth trembled violently as molten lava surged from cracks in the stone.

Crackle! Crackle!

Air itself exploded as arcs of energy danced wildly, sparking and vanishing like a storm of silver serpents.

Gokanks' brow bone jutted sharply, his hair cascading down to his waist. An unimaginable surge of power erupted from his body.

Everyone turned to stare, stunned by the transformation.

"A new Saiyan form?!" Piccolo gasped.

"Hohoho! It seems these fusion warriors really are as powerful as Goku claimed."

"So this is the next stage of Saiyan evolution… Pity. It's still nowhere near divine power."

Gohanks looked on in awe. "When will I be able to achieve that form?"

"Now's not the time to be impressed," Super Saiyan 3 Gokanks warned, brows furrowed. "This form doesn't last long."

"Right!"

The two launched forward like comets, heading straight for Zamasu.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Cooler's battle with the two Dark Saiyans was reaching its climax.

He maintained absolute dominance with every strike swift, precise, and utterly ruthless.

At that moment, he completely ignored Black Goku's desperate attacks and focused solely on one target: Dark Vegeta.

Vegeta's body was battered, bleeding heavily, but he still refused to fall. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to fight on.

"HRAAH!"

With a guttural shout, Cooler's leg muscles bulged. He snapped a kick across Vegeta's arm

CRACK!

The bone shattered audibly, his arm twisting grotesquely under the blow.

Fueled by fury, Black Goku unleashed a flurry of desperate attacks. But Cooler didn't even glance his way, trading injury for injury without hesitation.

He grabbed Dark Vegeta by the neck and drove a claw straight through his spine.

SHRIIIP!

With a brutal twist, he tore out an entire segment of spinal cord.

Black Goku's eyes widened in horror. "What the hell ARE you?!"

Cooler's crimson eyes gleamed with ice-cold detachment.

"A monster? No. I am the ultimate killing machine."

With that, he flung Vegeta's limp body into the air.

From his palm, he launched a blast of pure annihilation, incinerating the broken warrior midair.

But just as the attack struck, Black Goku managed to swap the left Potara earring onto his right ear!

A blinding light exploded outward, and with it came a suffocating wave of pure evil.

Cooler's eyes narrowed instantly. He shot toward the glow at lightning speed!

Bursting through the light, he drove both fists toward the figure's cheeks.

CRUNCH!

With a crackling shatter, both earrings were crushed to dust.

But the enemy only chuckled, that same devilish grin spreading across his face.

"Even if the Potara earrings are destroyed, it's meaningless now. Our souls have already fully merged into one."

And on that face was written just one word: Invincible.
