King Kai continued to remind Levos sternly not to act recklessly, and above all, not to provoke those two mysterious guests from Earth.
"Don't worry, King Kai. I'm not the impulsive type," Levos promised earnestly. "Besides, the entire universe is on the brink of destruction. Why would I start trouble now of all tis?"
"That's good to hear." King Kai finally seed satisfied.
At the sa ti, Gokux stepped forward and finished recounting the tragic history of his future world. The crowd fell into a heavy silence, finally grasping just how terrifying Zamasu truly was.
"So… what do we do now?" Bulma asked with a grave expression.
"No one here can kill him. Zamasu's infinite regeneration makes him unstoppable!"
"If only Master Roshi were still alive," Gokux muttered bitterly, "he could've sealed Fusion Zamasu using the Evil Containnt Wave."
"If…" Piccolo suddenly frowned. "If soone used the Dragon Balls to resurrect , I might be able to take on Zamasu. I do know how to perform the Evil Containnt Wave."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
But King Cold's expression darkened. He turned to Piccolo, his gaze filled with hostility. "You bastard… so it really was you who stole the Dragon Ball from ! I suspected sothing during your earlier attack, and now you've confird it!"
Piccolo t his glare with a cool stare but said nothing, the atmosphere imdiately turning tense.
"All right, all right, let's not fight among ourselves," Gamma 2 quickly stepped in to diate. "We're already in a tight spot. Infighting won't help."
"You're right," Piccolo said, calming slightly. "Besides, now isn't the best ti to use the Dragon Balls. And sealing soone like Fusion Zamasu would take everything I've got. It might even use up all the remaining ti I have left in the living world."
"Hmph. Speaking of stamina, we're all nearly drained. We've got no chance left in a direct fight," King Cold scoffed.
"Wait! I might have a solution!" Gokux suddenly exclaid, smacking his forehead.
"Seriously?" Everyone turned to him with hope in their eyes.
"Yes! In another tiline, I trained under a Supre Kai and gained the ability to restore other people's stamina."
"You an you can still use that technique here?" soone asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try."
With that, Gokux walked over to Piccolo and placed his hands on the Nakian's chest. Monts passed with no visible effect.
Just as everyone began to assu it had failed, Piccolo's eyes widened in surprise. He clenched his fists and nodded slowly.
"I'm back to full strength… amazing, Gokux."
"Then heal next," King Cold demanded coldly. "I expended a lot of energy earlier too."
But Gokux ignored him and walked toward Levos instead.
King Cold's expression darkened.
"Levos is our strongest warrior now," Gokux said calmly. "He's our best shot at victory."
He placed his hands on Levos's body, and a soft glow surrounded them. Levos didn't object. As things stood, he was indeed their most reliable fighter, stronger even than Gokux in his Super Saiyan 3 form.
Minutes passed. Gokux's brows furrowed, his face dripping with sweat.
"Why is it taking so long?" Piccolo asked with concern.
"This body… it's on a completely different level. My energy isn't enough to fully restore him," Gokux replied, clearly astonished.
"Don't worry. Just do what you can," Levos reassured him.
Gokux pushed himself to the limit. Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and he vanished.
Their fusion had ended early.
"What happened? Wasn't the fusion supposed to last thirty minutes?" Goku asked, confused.
Future Trunks, now separated, seed to have expected this. "We burned through too much energy with Super Saiyan 3. On top of that, I used up more while healing others. We didn't have enough left to sustain the fusion."
Levos wasn't surprised. He already knew that both Fusion Dance and Potara Earrings had limits either ti or energy-related.
In GT, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta had also defused early. And in Super, Super Saiyan Blue Vegito had separated midway through the battle with Fusion Zamasu.
Though Levos's stamina wasn't fully recovered, he still couldn't help being shocked by the sheer power of his current body.
After all, Cell Max in his perfect form was easily at the level of a full-power Super Saiyan Blue.
And that was before any further evolution.
If he could sohow unlock the next transformation, his power might take another enormous leap.
"Bulma, hand the earrings," Levos suddenly said.
Bulma imdiately pulled out a pair of green gem-encrusted Potara Earrings from her pouch.
These were the sa earrings Levos had claid from a defeated Zamasu in this tiline. When Ginyu had stolen his body, Levos had warned Bulma in advance to keep the accessories safe.
"One for each of you wear them on opposite ears."
"What are these again?" Piccolo asked with a frown.
"The sa items Zamasu used to fuse with Goku Black," Levos replied simply.
"But we're exhausted," Goku said. "Even if we fuse, we might not be much help."
"Right. I can't even use my healing technique anymore," Trunks added.
Still, the two looked at each other and, after a beat, nodded.
"Just do it," Levos urged.
They each put on an earring.
A brilliant flash of light erupted between them, and a new fusion warrior was born.
"Hell yeah!" a thrilled voice cried out from the glow.
"If the Fusion Dance warrior is called Gokux… then through Potara fusion, I'll be… Tranku!"
A powerful presence filled the air.
Though his energy wasn't overwhelming likely due to both fighters being drained the aura still made an impression.
"Tranku?" Levos raised an eyebrow at the na, lips curling into an amused smirk. "Why does that sound kinda… feminine?"
But now wasn't the ti to nitpick nas. Levos imdiately turned to Bulma.
"Bulma, hand him a green bean."
