The clash between Caulifla and Levos completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Watching their battle was no longer about simply comparing power levels or energy reserves.
Although Caulifla wielded godly ki, she failed to gain any real advantage against Levos. Even so, she refused to back down. The moment an opening appeared, she seized the initiative without hesitation.
Back and forth they went, exchanging blows countless times.
Every strike, every move, every punch was savage and brutal, as if each carried the power to destroy a world.
Each attack tore open massive spatial fissures, and every collision made the spectators' hearts race in fear.
Throughout the entire fight, Levos never activated Mecha Cell Max's auxiliary functions, leaving it to train idly in a subspace instead. Against Caulifla, he relied solely on his own strength and combat experience.
Even so, this was still blatantly unfair to his opponent.
After all, Levos possessed terrifying regenerative abilities. As long as he avoided truly catastrophic injuries, he recovered rapidly, and his stamina consumption was far lower than Caulifla's.
"You're not bad," Caulifla said, rubbing her swollen arms, "but you're nowhere near as strong as that stinking fat cat bragged you up to be."
Levos smiled faintly, looking at Caulifla's body covered in bruises and battle scars.
"Is your mouth the only thing that's tough?"
Caulifla exploded in anger and charged again.
This punch carried her full power.
Levos didn't hold back either. A heavy straight punch drove directly through her attack, forcing her momentum to break.
But in the next instant, Caulifla vanished and reappeared behind him.
She lunged forward, locking her arms around Levos' neck.
Then, with a violent heave, she lifted him clean off the ground and spun, slamming him down in a brutal suplex.
Crack !
Stone shattered. A massive crater formed in the arena.
Caulifla flipped and straddled Levos' waist, pinning him beneath her.
"Well? Still not convinced?" she demanded.
She tightened her legs, making it hard for him to break free.
Levos hadn't expected her to pull out grappling techniques, actual martial arts joint control.
In a contest of equal strength, superior technique always granted a decisive edge.
It took him half a second to register the fact that he was being pinned by a woman.
Levos reacted instantly.
His back arched like a drawn bowstring before snapping loose.
The violent jolt made Caulifla feel like she was sitting on a springboard.
The moment her legs loosened, Levos burst free and countered with a powerful kick.
Caulifla anticipated it and blocked lightning-fast.
Another violent exchange followed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They fought from the ground into the sky. Space itself trembled, until it finally shattered under the strain.
The exposed subspace emitted a terrifying suction, threatening to swallow everything nearby.
Levos' eyes lit up.
Seizing the moment while they dodged apart, he kicked off hard, rebounding upward.
He brought his hands together.
A familiar stance.
In the blink of an eye, a thick, blinding beam of energy erupted toward Caulifla like a falling meteor.
BOOOOOOM!!
The explosion shook the heavens.
The blast engulfed Caulifla in a flood of light, scattering radiant fragments across the battlefield.
When the glow faded, more than half the arena was gone, leaving behind a bottomless chasm.
"Is it over?"
Alive or dead, everyone frantically searched for Caulifla.
As the dust settled, her figure appeared in one corner of the arena.
Her clothes were in tatters. She dropped to one knee, barely standing.
Caulifla looked up at Levos in the sky, her face pale, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
The power of that blast far exceeded her expectations. Her barrier shattered instantly.
If she hadn't reacted in time and escaped the moment it broke, she would have been completely erased.
Even so, she was gravely wounded.
Wiping the blood from her lips, she forced a grin.
"I'm not done yet. Don't underestimate the Saiyans of Universe 6!"
Levos descended slowly, forming an energy sphere in his palm and aiming it at her.
"There's no point continuing. Your stamina is gone."
"Senior!" Kale cried out, tears welling in her eyes as she watched Caulifla struggle to stand, swaying as if she might collapse at any moment.
Caulifla barely steadied herself, glaring at Levos.
"As long as I can still move… I won't stop fighting!"
"You're stubborn," Levos said calmly. "Your will is strong, but you're also foolish."
"Didn't Champa tell you how to defeat me? You had so many chances… yet you refused to use them."
"Hmph!" Caulifla snorted. "I don't need anyone telling me how to fight!"
She vanished, pouring her last strength into a desperate charge.
"Oh?" Levos raised a brow and smashed her back into the ground with one punch.
"This is your final move? Pathetic."
The energy sphere pressed against her chest.
"You've already lost. The Saiyans of Universe 6 are about to become history. Your existence… the Saiyans… even your universe will vanish."
"S-Senior…" Kale's eyes burned red as she stared at Caulifla's battered body. "P-please… don't hurt her…"
"Your junior cares about you," Levos said coldly. "Too bad you're useless. Her judgment's terrible."
"You… bastard…"
Caulifla's breathing became erratic. Her previously calm aura suddenly surged.
Bingo.
That line hit its mark.
Levos continued mercilessly.
"Are the Saiyans of Universe 6 all talk?"
Caulifla clenched her fists, glaring at him.
Levos pressed on.
"Feels awful, doesn't it? Being furious but completely powerless?"
"Will your junior still admire you when she sees you like this?"
He slammed the energy sphere downward.
Caulifla's pupils shrank as she curled up instinctively.
Before closing her eyes, she looked at Kale, emotions swirling uncontrollably.
At the same moment
"NO!!!"
Kale felt as though she'd been abandoned. She had never seen that look in Caulifla's eyes.
Her heart twisted in agony.
"You… you're not allowed to hurt my senior!"
BOOM!
An overwhelming aura erupted from Kale like a munitions depot detonating.
A violent energy storm swept outward.
The entire Universe 6 stands were blown apart, Champa screaming as he was blasted into the sky.
Green light dyed the heavens.
Everyone stared in terror.
"How can there be power this monstrous?!"
Before they could react, a pillar of brilliant blue light pierced the sky from the arena.
Two figures stood tall.
"Kale… turned green?!" Champa rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "And Caulifla… she broke through too?!"
Both auras far surpassed conventional understanding.
Spectators didn't know where to look.
Other competitors stood frozen, mouths agape.
Especially those from Universes 9 and 10.
"There's… another one?!"
"I can't breathe again…"
"There's no hope. Not even a shred."
"Why did we ever get involved in this level of battle…"
"I want to go home…"
In contrast, Goku and Piccolo clenched their fists in excitement.
"This is what the universe should be like!"
"As long as they're not villains," Piccolo added.
Frieza ground his teeth silently.
Those peaceful days were long gone.
On the arena, Levos relaxed his brow.
From the start, he had intended to push Caulifla's limits and see just how far she could go.
At the same time, he wanted to see whether her bond with Kale would trigger a chain reaction.
Both objectives succeeded.
Driven by intense unwillingness, Caulifla ascended to Super Saiyan Blue, becoming the first Saiyan in this timeline to achieve it.
Kale, fueled by rage for her senior, awakened her berserk Super Saiyan form.
Caulifla's fury faded as the transformation stabilized.
She scanned her body, then stared at Levos in confusion.
"Why did you give me energy? And why is your energy so strange? It pushed me through instantly."
Levos smirked.
"I'll explain after the match."
"Levos! Levos! DIE!"
They turned.
High above, Kale roared. Her eyes were white, her body massively enlarged, muscles bulging grotesquely as her aura continued to skyrocket.
An energy blast formed in her palm and was hurled downward.
"Miss Kale! Calm down!"
"Kale, snap out of it!"
Cabba and Caulifla shouted anxiously. Kale looked completely out of control.
"Interference is forbidden!"
Vados deflected the blast and blocked Kale's path.
But Kale ignored the warning and charged forward.
Everyone finally realized
This wasn't just power loss of control.
Something else had seized her consciousness.
A berserk state far more dangerous than Great Ape rage.
"I'll use your blood as sacrifice, Levos!"
Kale roared, swinging her massive arm at Vados.
Vados blocked effortlessly, redirecting the force.
Kale immediately fired dozens of energy blasts toward the arena, forcing Vados to intercept again.
At that moment, a figure stepped in front of Kale.
"So you're Kale? I'll fight you."
"Goku, you can't handle her alone," Piccolo warned.
Buu, Piccolo, and Pilaf appeared beside him.
"I'll help too," Cabba said, joining Universe 7.
The next instant, chaos erupted.
The Grand Priest was about to intervene
"I wanna watch!" Zeno shouted excitedly.
All angels halted.
A new battlefield opened in the sky.
Levos and Caulifla exchanged looks.
Caulifla clearly couldn't focus on fighting now.
Levos suggested they pause until Kale's situation was resolved.
She agreed.
The arena fell into absurd stillness.
Everyone forgot about the actual match and stared at the aerial brawl.
Goku, already itching for battle, transformed into Super Saiyan 4 despite his injuries.
Piccolo and Cabba unleashed their strongest forms.
Kale's aura dwarfed them all, second only to Levos.
The fight exploded immediately.
Kale kept growing stronger.
Though outnumbered, she dominated.
As time passed, Goku and the others were pushed harder and harder.
Suppressing Kale would require exhausting her.
"Champa, you really sinned here," Levos muttered. "Awakening potential in someone this dangerous."
"Go, Kale! Don't lose to them!" Caulifla shouted, unwavering.
Levos raised a brow.
Huh. Yuri solidarity.
BOOM!
Cabba was the first eliminated, kicked straight into the ground.
Soon, the fight became one-sided.
Levos sighed.
Without me, they don't even know how to stall properly?
He transmitted instructions to Piccolo.
The others' eyes lit up.
They began a strategic retreat.
Zeno, uninterested in being a punching bag, never joined the fight.
He lounged in the Universe 7 stands, tail swaying cheerfully.
In the next second, Goku and the others suddenly flashed in front of Frieza.
Before Frieza could react, they vanished again.
"Whis! Retreat!"
Beerus grabbed Whis and disappeared.
Kale smashed the stands in rage.
Seeing the enemy in front of her, she slapped Frieza repeatedly without hesitation.
Blood splattered.
Frieza's face swelled grotesquely, blood dripping from his mouth, his expression twisted in fury.
"You have succeeded in enraging this king!"
