The scene felt vaguely familiar to Levos.
"Wasn't this… the image that appeared in the Ti Crystal?!"
White light blood from Zeno's fingertips, sweeping across everything beyond the palace barrier!
There was no sound. No spectacle.
The entire outside space disintegrated in an instant within that white radiance, collapsing into absolute nothingness.
Aeos finally exhaled. "It's over at last…"
But before her words even finished
A sinister presence reignited, then spread outward like wildfire.
"H-how is that possible?!" Aeos stared in disbelief. "The aura is still there. He actually survived Zeno's erasure?!"
"The Super Dragon Balls' wish," the Grand Priest explained calmly. "Ozotto's wish allows him to resist Zeno's erasure. His body is destroyed, yes but his consciousness and energy still remain. He'll be able to reconstruct his flesh very soon."
"Then what do we do?"
Aeos hadn't even considered this possibility. Panic rose imdiately in her chest.
In the void, a mass of black mist was already condensing, taking form as it radiated pure malice.
"No matter how many tis you try, it's useless!" Ozotto's arrogant voice rang out. "So what if you're Zeno? How many tis can you even use erasure?"
"Sooner or later, you'll all beco my prey. Not a single one of you will escape!"
"I am the God Hunter!"
The Grand Priest suddenly turned to Levos.
"Mr. Levos. Proceed as planned. It's ti to seal him."
"Mm." Levos had already prepared himself.
But he still hesitated. "Grand Priest… are you sure you won't act personally? And can the Evil Containnt Wave really work?"
The Grand Priest fell into thought for a mont, then smiled faintly. "To be safe… there is only one way."
"What way?"
"You must absorb ," the Grand Priest said, perfectly calm.
"What?!" Everyone froze, staring at him in shock.
"Only an angel's sealing power can truly handle Ozotto," the Grand Priest explained. "And your absorption ability is the best dium to transmit that power."
Levos frowned. "But what's the price of absorbing you?"
He'd never once thought of devouring the Grand Priest. If he got overloaded and exploded… the consequences were beyond imagining.
"You can't fully absorb ." The Grand Priest's smile didn't waver. "At most, you'll temporarily borrow a portion of my traits such as the ability to seal enemies. I will also control it, so you don't take too much."
"You're really choosing this?" Levos's hesitation deepened. "Even now, why won't you step in yourself?"
"You'll understand later. Right now, the urgent matter cos first." The Grand Priest chuckled lightly. "Ozotto's consciousness is rebuilding. We must act before he recovers."
Levos drew a slow breath, then nodded. "Then… let's do it."
The Grand Priest stepped up in front of him. "When you're ready, begin."
Levos extended his tail and aid it at the Grand Priest. "Forgive ."
Slurp!
The Grand Priest was wrapped up and pulled into Cell Max's body.
The next instant
A power unlike anything Levos had ever felt flooded into him!
This wasn't ordinary strength. It was pure angelic power ancient, eerie, and mysterious.
Levos felt his consciousness being yanked into a wondrous realm, as though he were gazing upon the essence of the universe itself.
Knowledge and techniques poured into his mind among them the mysteries of Ultra Instinct and the fundantal abilities of angels.
When Levos opened his eyes again, his appearance had subtly changed.
A layer of silver-white radiance covered the surface of Dark-Gold Cell Max, giving him a holy, almost sacred glow.
And around his neck… an unfamiliar halo had ford.
"This power… I can't even comprehend it," Levos murmured, feeling the alien energy flowing through him. "Good thing my body seems able to withstand it."
"Hurry!" Aeos pointed urgently outside the barrier. "Ozotto is surrounding the palace again!"
Levos turned and sure enough, the outline of an enormous Ozotto had already taken physical form.
"Then we seal him." Levos flashed forward, charging straight into the black mist.
The mist sensed his approach and instantly turned violent. Countless tentacles burst out, trying to snare him.
"Evil Containnt Wave "
Levos raised both hands calmly. From his palms erupted a spiraling beam, tinted with a faint silver sheen.
"Get in here, you bastard!"
"You think that can trap ?" Ozotto's voice dripped with confidence. "I'm a being protected by a Super Dragon Balls' wish!"
"The wish only makes you immune to erasure," Levos said coldly. "It never said you couldn't be sealed."
With the Grand Priest's angelic power reinforcing it, the Evil Containnt Wave's pull surged by an unknown magnitude, effortlessly blanketing the entire space!
Ozotto's black mist twisted and warped.
He finally sensed sothing was wrong panicked screams spilling out.
"What is this power?!"
"Why… why is this happening?!"
"I'm the God Hunter YOU were supposed to be the prey…!"
Ozotto struggled wildly, trying to break free.
"A real hunter," Levos sneered, increasing the sealing force.
The silver-white light grew brighter and brighter, compressing the black mist down into a tiny sphere.
Levos extended his tail. The tip opened like a black hole, guiding the spiraling beam directly inside.
"No !!"
Ozotto's furious roar echoed through the void
Then he was completely swallowed into Levos's body.
A powerful rejection force churned within Cell Max's tail, thrashing to break the bind.
At the sa ti, endless divine power and energy surged into Levos like a flood.
"Did we succeed?" Aeos stared at Levos, breath tight.
"Not even close. If this continues… I'll still blow up in the end."
Sweat beaded on Levos's forehead. He rapidly ford sealing talismans one after another and slapped them onto his tail.
Even so, he could feel the restraints weakening. Ozotto clearly had a thod for cracking those talismans.
They wouldn't hold him for more than a few minutes.
"This bastard really is a nightmare."
Levos tried reaching out to the Grand Priest
No response.
"If I release the Grand Priest, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the seal…"
He told the others the truth about their situation.
"In the end, the Evil Containnt Wave is still a mortal technique," Aeos analyzed. "To seal an existence on Ozotto's level, we need a higher-grade sealing art. Using your body as the container isn't reliable either…"
"Do you have a solution?" Levos asked.
Aeos frowned. "I do know many sealing techniques, but my Ti Power is nearly gone. I can't cast them."
And to maintain two Cell Max clones, Levos's own Ti Power was also running low.
Both of them looked toward the unconscious Chronoa, then sighed.
"Chronoa's reached her limit too," Aeos muttered. "She's in even worse shape than we are."
At that mont, Goten suddenly spoke up.
"Lady Aeos… I have an item that can fuse two people. Maybe we can use it to combine your powers…"
As he spoke, he pulled out a pair of Potara earrings.
"They're relics left behind by the Old Kai."
Aeos's eyes lit up.
"It's useless," Levos sighed. "My power's too strong I can't fuse with anyone."
Aeos shot him a sideways glance. "Who said I was fusing with you? Chronoa and I are the best combination!"
