The frog nodded, its pupils gradually glowing an eerie red.

But the next second

Crack!

Space shattered like glass. A dazzling red streak burst forth and came crashing into the battlefield center!

Everyone was immediately shaken by the overwhelming pressure. Regaining their senses, they looked up toward the sky.

There, a battered figure hovered, cloaked in an aura of pink, red, and purple flames.

"Rosé Gogeta!!" Gohanks cried out in shock.

Rosé Gogeta had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his clothes torn, yet his spirit was strong and fierce. His eyes darted around quickly, assessing the situation below.

He muttered under his breath, "Looks like I finally shook off that fat cat..."

But when his gaze fell on the gravely wounded, near-death Rosé Vegito, his pupils shrank!

With a furious roar, the space around him twisted violently. In a blink, he vanished into a crimson flash.

"So fast!"

Gohanks and the others froze in place!

In the next instant, Rosé Gogeta appeared among them, throwing a powerful punch brimming with malicious energy, aimed straight at Levos' head!

Levos' eyes narrowed.

Compared to Rosé Vegito, Rosé Gogeta's control over his body was on a whole different level.

This punch was clearly a full-powered strike, bursting with terrifying momentum, locking onto him completely!

Even before it landed, the ground beneath Levos had already begun to collapse under the pressure!

The others were pinned down by the shockwave, unable to move.

The head was Cell Max's greatest weakness. Whether Rosé Gogeta aimed for it intentionally or not, Levos couldn't afford to take the risk.

Not with his allies all around.

He had no choice but to take it head-on!

Barrier!

A dark crimson energy shield instantly enveloped him. Levos crossed his arms above his head

BOOM!

The impact was deafening, the light blinding!

The two forces collided, unleashing a world-shaking shockwave. The ground was blasted into a massive crater as if struck by a meteor!

The earth trembled violently, and gales powerful enough to shred stone tore through the surroundings!

When the dust finally settled, Levos' figure emerged from the crater.

He stood firm at the bottom, his chitinous armor cracked all over, his muscular frame covered in savage wounds.

That clash alone could have annihilated Earth.

But Levos had met it head-on without flinching, suppressing the aftermath of their collision to the planet's surface, delaying its destruction.

His arms were numb. Blood sprayed from his mouth.

Scanning for his enemies, he quickly realized.

Rosé Vegito and Captain Ginyu had vanished!

The other Earth warriors, meanwhile, had all been seriously injured by the residual shockwave.

Levos then looked to the sky his expression instantly darkened.

Rosé Gogeta had captured both Rosé Vegito and Ginyu.

"You humans got lucky this time. Seems you've got a God of Destruction backing you," Rosé Gogeta said bitterly.

Then he sneered, "Next time we meet… you'll all die."

As his voice faded, a thin beam shot from his fingertip toward the horizon.

A distant mushroom cloud bloomed instantly.

Moments later, a beam of light streaked across the sky.

Dark Broly rejoined Rosé Gogeta.

Now, Dark Broly's golden hair flowed wildly, his frame visibly larger and more muscular, radiating unimaginable destructive power.

Just one glance, and Levos understood.

He had now mastered the hybrid form: combining the humanoid Great Ape with Super Saiyan. He was close to achieving Broly's exclusive transformation.

Hovering in the air, the two conversed briefly, then began moving toward the dimensional rift with Rosé Vegito and Ginyu in tow.

Levos' heart sank.

They were retreating?

Just then.

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from within the rift!

The figures paused.

The next moment, a familiar silhouette emerged.

Dark Monaka!

He came back?! Again?!

And once more, he pulled out a small pouch and produced a Senzu Bean!

Rosé Gogeta and the others immediately gathered around him and devoured the beans!

A surge of terrifying, overwhelming power erupted from each of them. The Earth itself trembled under the pressure.

The Earth warriors looked on in despair as their enemies fully recovered again!

"They're even stronger now! And…"

A frog's corpse was tossed down from the sky.

It was incinerated instantly by a blast of energy.

"Captain Ginyu!"

After finishing off Ginyu, Zamasu's group began discussing something amongst themselves.

The more dire the situation became, the calmer Levos grew. His thoughts raced.

It was becoming clear.

The reappearance of Dark Monaka was the real turning point.

This guy had experienced far more than any other Dark Warrior.

Despite his frail frame, he had endured attacks from stronger fighters and had twice used Senzu Beans to turn the tide.

That alone proved his significance.

No wonder Zamasu had such precise knowledge of the Dragon Balls, found Pilaf's underground lab, and targeted the Dragon Balls in Bulma's possession. His information was frighteningly vast.

Whatever the case, if they wanted to win.

They had to either steal or destroy the Senzu Beans.

Or, more reliably.

Kill Dark Monaka.

Levos' gaze burned with determination.

Then he recalled Rosé Gogeta's mention of a God of Destruction.

Looks like they had already encountered Champa and lost.

If a God of Destruction had personally entered the fray, then maybe things weren't as hopeless as they seemed.

Even Rosé Gogeta, powerful as he was, appeared to fear them.

Still, Levos was never one to place blind hope in others.

Not after all the setbacks he'd endured.

From now on, he'd rely only on his own strength.

"This world only respects power," Levos exhaled slowly, his gaze steeling.

At that moment, Tranku returned to the battlefield.

He too looked toward the figures in the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

But there was no fear only a rising fighting spirit.

He immediately began treating the wounded.

"Levos, do you think we stand a chance fighting all of them at once?"

Tranku stood by his side.

"Honestly? Not at all," Levos answered plainly, lifting his head to face the Dark Warriors above. "But I have no reason to back down."

A flash of light dropped beside them Frieza had arrived, looking furious.

"Those damned monkey Saiyans… I can't believe they're up and kicking again!"

"Hey, Frieza! We're supposed to be allies right now!" Tranku shot back.

"Hmph!" Frieza scowled at him. "That doesn't mean I have to like you!"

With that, everyone turned their eyes to the four Dark Warriors in the sky.

"Piccolo," Levos said softly, "we may need your Evil Containment Wave soon…"
