"So Ultimate Baby got absorbed just like that?" Cabba rubbed his eyes, as if he could not believe Levos had such a terrifying trump card.
"Hmph. Whenever Mr. Levos makes a move, he has never made a mistake," Frieza said coldly.
"It's over..." Hit slid both hands back into his pockets.
"As expected of Levos."
Caulifla had just started to relax when she saw Cell Max's entire body begin to tremble.
"Don't come any closer. I'm about to explode."
The moment those words left his mouth, everyone's hearts, which had only just settled, lurched back into their throats.
Levos' chest heaved rapidly. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
The energy inside his body was rampaging wildly, and every second pushed his physical limits to the brink.
"I have to find a way to share the burden."
He swept his gaze around, stopping on Frieza, Salza, and the others.
"Your Majesty..."
"I understand. Go ahead." Frieza flew in front of Levos, already knowing what was about to happen.
Levos raised a hand and placed it on his shoulder, slowly channeling out the overflowing energy, including divine power.
"This much?!" Frieza's eyes widened as he felt that massive torrent pour into him.
Golden aura instantly burst from his body, yet even after transforming into his Dark Gold form, he endured it for only a few seconds before reaching his limit.
"Stop... stop! If you give me any more, even I will explode!"
Levos pulled his hand back, frowning helplessly.
Even Lord Frieza could only take that tiny amount.
Compared to the ocean-like total inside Levos, it was barely worth mentioning.
Salza, Neiz, Dore, and the Cell Juniors had also obediently gathered around him by then.
"Caulifla, Hit, come here too."
The Universe 6 fighters looked at each other, but they still flew over.
Levos began pouring energy into them as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment they came into contact with him, every single one of them was forced into their strongest forms.
Caulifla broke straight into Super Saiyan Blue Full Power.
Kale's power also surged tremendously. Her green hair shot down to her waist, and a terrifying aura blazed skyward.
Cabba shattered the barrier of Super Saiyan God and transformed directly into Super Saiyan Blue.
Even former Sadala Defense Corps captain Renso awakened the Super Saiyan transformation under the impact of that immense power.
Hit advanced repeatedly as well. The accumulation of over a thousand years was elevated in full at this very moment.
"My Time-Skip and Time Freeze have both evolved. What a pity... my body can't endure much more..."
A violent storm raged.
Everyone's auras rose wildly, while uncontrolled spirals of energy swirled around them. It was the clear sign of power on the verge of losing control.
Among Universe 6's warriors, even Kale, the strongest of them, could not help Levos shoulder much of the burden.
Even combined, all of them took on less than one millionth of the energy inside him.
"No good. I shouldn't have expected much from them to begin with. At this rate, I'm still going to explode."
Levos gritted his teeth. Fine cracks had already started appearing across Cell Max's body.
At this point, only the Cell Juniors could still hold on for a little longer.
Right then, a slender root pierced through the barrier of his inner space and sank into Levos' body.
"The Universe Seed!"
At last, the connection Levos had been trying to establish succeeded.
Boundless energy streamed out through that root and was greedily absorbed by the Universe Seed.
The pressure weighing on Levos lightened slightly.
But he quickly realized it was still no more than a drop in the bucket.
The Universe Seed absorbed quickly, yes, but against the tsunami of energy surging within him, it still seemed pitifully inadequate.
Besides, even the original Beerus could resist the draining power of the entire Universe Tree by himself. Naturally, the energy contained within Levos now was on a completely different level.
The nine Gods of Destruction were still residing inside him, after all. And the Universe Seed had not yet grown into a Universe Tree, so it was only natural that it could not resolve a crisis like this.
"Do I really have no choice but to self-destruct?"
Levos took a deep breath and made his decision.
He planned to head for the Demon Realm, separate Cell Max from his main body there, and self-destruct in that place so Universe 6 would not be caught in the blast.
But just as he was about to move, a drop of green liquid in outer space suddenly expanded.
In only a few seconds, Ultimate Baby's body re-formed once more.
"How is that possible? It can still regenerate?!" Even Hit could not stay calm.
Ultimate Baby moved its newly formed body, its face still carrying traces of lingering fear.
"That was dangerous. Your absorption ability really does counter me."
Ultimate Baby sneered and pointed at the surrounding void of space.
"Too bad for you, there's plenty of my spilled blood all across this region. The moment my main consciousness senses fatal danger, it finds the remaining bits of my body and forms a new core consciousness."
"And thanks to my shared consciousness trait, every time I revive from the brink of death, my power receives a tremendous boost."
As it spoke, Ultimate Baby's aura surged again.
This increase was even more terrifying than any of the previous ones.
"Such a flawless trait. Even I didn't expect it when I first obtained it."
"Your absorption ability may counter me, but its weakness is just as obvious." Ultimate Baby laughed darkly. "I don't even need to attack you. You're going to blow yourself apart on your own. How ridiculous. Hahahaha..."
After its mad laughter, it issued its final declaration.
"Next, I shall reign over every universe and create an age that belongs to the Tsufruians!"
Everyone's expression darkened.
Absorbing even a single Ultimate Baby had already pushed Levos to such a desperate state.
If what it said was true, if remnants of its blood and flesh were scattered all throughout this region of the universe, then Universe 6 truly had no hope left at all.
