Moro burst into laughter as if he had just heard the greatest joke in the universe, and the entire planet shook with it.
"You think I would believe you spared me on purpose?"
"Stop playing games. Your greatest mistake was failing to erase me completely before I merged with this planet!"
"Now I possess an immortal body. No one can destroy me!"
"You and all your companions can obediently become part of my power!"
The moment his words fell, the will of the entire planet fully awakened.
Mountains of earth rose from the ground, piercing straight into the heavens.
Then they came crashing back down toward everyone below.
Some resisted with all their strength. Others scattered in every direction trying to avoid the impact.
But under the double burden of energy drain and crushing gravity, danger was everywhere. No one could fight freely.
"How are we supposed to beat a monster like this?" Piccolo racked his brain, but no solution came to him.
In the end, he could only transform into Orange Piccolo and rush around saving his allies.
Countless Fused Zamasu clones crawled out from the rocks and magma, each radiating the same terrifying aura as Moro.
"This is the judgment of justice. Today, all mortals will be erased!"
Shouting their slogans, they launched themselves at every target in sight.
"Damn it! There are too many of them, and every one of them is ridiculously strong!"
Even the Time Patrol warriors felt their scalps go numb in the face of this nightmare.
They had wanted a good fight, sure, but not this kind of hell-difficulty battle.
"This fight is probably on the same level as the one against Ozotto…"
Future Trunks was already dripping with sweat.
"There's no helping it. We'll have to use the final measure. Come on, Vegeta."
Xeno Goku pulled out a pair of Potara earrings.
Xeno Vegeta immediately took one and put it on.
With the classic "Alright!" the overwhelmingly cool Vegito appeared.
Transforming straight into Super Saiyan 4, Xeno Vegito went all out at once.
His hair turned red, and a layer of pink aura wrapped around his body.
With one Final Kamehameha, Xeno Vegito blasted dozens of Zamasu clones in front of him into ash. But in the very next second, more clones reformed and charged right back at him.
He could clearly feel the ki inside him draining away at an astonishing rate. Every attack only sped up the countdown to his own separation.
"Mr. Vegito, this won't work!"
Future Trunks found a Xeno Gohan and fused with him, becoming Gohanx.
Gohanx blew the head off one Zamasu clone with a punch, then vaporized the body with a backhand ki blast.
But his expression remained grimmer than ever.
"Our energy is being constantly absorbed by this planet, while these things can regenerate forever. It's only a matter of time before we're drained dry!"
Even the strongest fighters who could initially contend with Fused Zamasu, like Android 21 and Broly, would eventually lose once their energy ran out.
Elsewhere, thick tendrils wrapped around the Prison Planet, dragging it deep into the planet and assimilating it.
Fu's face twisted with anguish.
"Damn it! My laboratory and all that priceless data!"
Although Fu, Hearts, and their group could handle Fused Zamasu's attacks well enough, they had no way to stop that from happening.
The instant the Prison Planet was swallowed, Moro's offensive intensified again.
The earth rose into monstrous tidal waves, carrying countless Zamasu figures as they crashed down toward everyone.
"I still want more. I want stronger opponents. Come on!"
Cumber roared as his dark crimson evil aura took physical form as razor-sharp claws, tearing apart several Zamasu clones surrounding him.
Fu's expression darkened as he tried to find a way out, but the answer he got sent a chill through his heart.
The planet had already become a perfect, self-sustaining cycle.
Its immortal body plus limitless magic allowed it to generate endless troops that attacked any life-form standing upon it.
At the same time, it absorbed the life energy of its targets and used that same energy to create even stronger clones.
This was a battle of attrition with no end in sight. There was no possibility of victory.
Moro had already placed himself in an unbeatable position.
Fu suddenly felt that he had walked straight into an unsolvable dead end.
Just as everyone was sinking deeper into despair, an invisible pulse exploded outward from the planet's core and swept across the entire starfield.
Buzz.
Moro's expression froze on his stone face.
A shiver rose from the depths of his soul.
Something was there.
Something deep inside the planet's core was frantically devouring his power.
"What… what is this?!"
To Moro's horror, after merging with the planet, the endless magic he had thought inexhaustible suddenly started showing momentary interruptions in supply.
Then those interruptions became more and more frequent, as if the source of his magic was being cut off entirely.
At last, every kind of power inside him, regardless of its nature, began pouring away like a flood through a broken dam into some unknown abyss.
This drain was thousands, even tens of thousands of times faster than the rate at which he had been absorbing energy from everyone else on the battlefield.
"No! My power! How can this be…"
Moro let out a shriek of terror.
He tried to sever the flow, but that devouring force had already become tightly entangled with his origin and with the planet's own origin. There was no way to strip it away.
He was like a waterskin punctured through, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not stop the leak.
His eyes snapped toward the one man standing calmly in the center of it all.
Levos.
It had to be him.
"What did you do?!"
Moro's furious and terrified voice shook the heavens.
The Fused Zamasu clones felt the same energy loss and all turned pale.
"What's happening? Our power is dropping rapidly!"
Every fighter immediately sensed that something was wrong with the enemy.
Goku's eyes lit up.
"They're getting weaker!"
Bardock let out a cold laugh.
"Who cares why? This is our chance to hit back!"
The battle turned in an instant.
The Fused Zamasu clones that had been suppressing everyone just moments before were now rapidly weakening.
With breathing room restored, the warriors also realized that their own power was no longer being drained, and no new Fused Zamasus were being created.
The remaining Zamasus were panic-stricken.
"Hmph. Where's that arrogant swagger you had a second ago, Zamasu?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A new round of battle erupted, but this time, the tide had turned.
