Within the abyssal darkness, a streak of dark-violet light like a falling meteor ripped through space and plunged toward Zeno's palace at terrifying speed.
The two royal guards stiffened as if facing a mortal enemy and forced themselves forward to intercept.
But they had barely left the barrier. Before they could even get close to that streak of light, a spray of violet radiance blasted out from it and struck them head-on.
Pff! Pff!
Two muffled grunts.
They were sent flying back, slammed into the palace, and collapsed unconscious.
"How is that possible?!" Fuwa's pupils shrank violently, unable to believe what he'd just seen.
"Even Lord Zeno's guards… couldn't withstand a single blow?!"
No one had the spare breath to answer.
Even with the barrier between them, that aura pressed down like the weight of a universe. It was suffocating.
Fuwa and the Old Kai could barely breathe.
Even Goten had to transform into Super Saiyan 3 just to push back the discomfort crawling over his body.
The Grand Priest raised his gaze. "Mr. Levos, temporarily assume the duty of protecting Lord Zeno."
Levos gave a calm nod and transformed into his strongest form.
His muscles swelled explosively, and savage fur spread across most of his body.
Unlike Super Saiyan 4, the familiar red fur, black hair, and crimson eye shadow were all washed into a stark, icy silver.
Levos called it
Super Saiyan 4 Beast.
This transformation fused a human's Potential Unleashed Evolution with the Super Saiyan 4 state.
But it wasn't over.
A divine halo appeared behind him.
And from Levos as the center point, a colossal gray shadow rose vast, heavy, and oppressive…
"That is ?!" Goten's pupils trembled.
"A super transformation that blends Earthling potential, Saiyan power, and divine techniques…" Even the Grand Priest was genuinely taken aback. "So before you ever asked me your questions, Mr. Levos, you already had the answer in your heart. You were preparing for this transformation all along?"
Levos didn't deny it.
In his eyes, relying solely on Saiyan transformations wouldn't be enough to catch up to Cell Max's battle tier.
Others had weak clones and a strong true body.
For him, it was the opposite.
His main body lagged behind his "other self" by an absurd margin and that felt awful.
And after Cell Max nearly burst apart more than once, Levos was forced to face one key question:
What if, one day, Cell Max's body met an accident?
Right now, the biggest threat was separation techniques but who could say what else might appear in the future?
So ever since entering this timeline, Levos hadn't dared to slack off for even a day driving his main body stronger, narrowing the gap with Cell Max as much as he could.
He had already mastered every Saiyan transformation there was.
And by the "official history," that path had likely reached its end…
If he wanted to break through again, the most valuable route might be the path of the gods.
Start by learning divine secret arts.
Then pay for it with time so much time that the very level of life itself would evolve.
To truly become a god, the time cost might be measured in tens of thousands of years.
A villain wouldn't wait that long for him to grow.
Fortunately, he'd thought of another route: fusion through transformation.
And the Grand Priest true to his name had given a single casual pointer that let Levos break through.
Boom !
With a dull, crushing impact, the violet light slammed down outside the palace gates.
Inside a fresh crater, a figure slowly straightened, lips curling into a wicked smile.
"The passage out of this timeline… should be here."
When everyone finally saw that silhouette clearly, they all sucked in a sharp breath.
"So it really is a demonic creature from the Demon Realm evil to the bone…"
"Who are you?!"
Its appearance was uncanny partly like Cell, partly like Janemba, and even carrying a hint of Frieza's shadow.
