Inside Zeno's palace, Levos, the Grand Priest, Goten, and Zeno gathered together to discuss a plan.
"Ozotto's true body has already fully fused into several Supreme Kai planets and Destroyer planets," the Grand Priest said. Holding his staff, he tapped the floor lightly.
A three-dimensional projection rose at once, revealing the structure of the entire manor.
The internal space was so vast it was practically boundless. From the miniature view alone, it was almost impossible to pick out any useful key points.
Levos stared at the projection, thinking for a moment. "Then we need to find Chronoa first. Only then can we deal with Ozotto."
"Correct." The Grand Priest nodded. "Chronoa is the Supreme Kai of Time. She hasn't been completely devoured yet. I can still sense her consciousness resisting."
Levos suddenly remembered something. "What about the Old Kai and the Supreme Kai, Fuwa? Were they devoured too?"
"The Other World was destroyed along with the entire spacetime. So they dispersed along with it."
"So that's how it is…" Levos hadn't expected that not even the Grand Priest could prevent something like this.
"When spacetime perishes, it is like this. Even souls cannot remain." The Grand Priest sighed. "But Ozotto's destructiveness… is even more severe than that."
Zeno sat to the side, cheeks puffed and his little face tense. "I hate Ozotto."
Levos fell silent for a moment, then turned to the Grand Priest. "I need to retrieve my other two clones first then I'll go for Chronoa."
"I can help you." The Grand Priest lifted a single finger and tapped Levos on the forehead.
A flash of blue light.
"You should be able to sense them now."
Levos closed his eyes. Sure enough, he could feel the presence of his other two Cell Max clones again and Instant Transmission was usable once more!
Just like that, the restriction that had been tormenting him was undone with a casual gesture.
What kind of existence was the Grand Priest, exactly?
More importantly if he had power like this, why wouldn't he personally step in and eliminate Ozotto?
But regardless, the help he gave Levos was real.
Reconnected to the other two clones, Levos realized they were each in different regions of the manor.
One was fighting endless Ozotto avatars.
The other was probing deeper inside.
Chronoa being devoured was already bad enough Aeos couldn't be allowed to come to harm too.
"I've located Aeos." The Grand Priest paused. "Leave the fighting to you. Zeno-sama and I will wait here."
"Then I'm going." Levos's reply was short and decisive, without a shred of hesitation.
"Be careful. Ozotto's power is still growing," the Grand Priest warned. "He's trying to further absorb my power."
"I'll end it fast."
With that, Levos vanished.
…
Deep within Ozotto's manor, Aeos had already been driven into a corner.
Countless Ozotto avatars surrounded her in layers. Every one of them possessed power on the level of a God of Destruction.
Even with her Time Chest summoning righteous warriors from different timelines to protect her, she still couldn't withstand the black flood of Ozotto avatars crashing in without end.
Aeos's Time Power was nearly spent. Her blue hair was disheveled, and her halo was dim and fading.
"The former Supreme Kai of Time… so this is all you've got." An Ozotto avatar drew closer with a savage grin.
Aeos clenched her teeth, forming the last blade of time in her hand. "I won't let you succeed!"
"Keh-heh-heh… you've got nowhere left to run." The Ozotto avatars raised their hands in unison, countless energy spheres condensing into being.
At the critical moment
A dark-gold figure dropped from above like a meteor. A single overwhelming blast swept outward, wiping every surrounding avatar clean.
"You're here!" Aeos turned toward the Cell Max before her.
Levos tossed out restorative magic with a raised hand, then faced the remaining Ozotto avatars. "Your opponent is me."
Aeos panted. "Did you find Chronoa?"
"My other clone is searching." Levos rapidly condensed energy in his palm. "Don't use Time Power for now. The next fight will be even harder."
Almost as soon as he spoke, hundreds thousands of Ozotto avatars poured in from every direction, each one openly radiating a terrifying aura.
Levos didn't flinch.
The clock halo behind him blazed. "Time Restraint!"
A golden beam swept out, freezing a massive area of Ozotto avatars in place.
Then Levos pushed both palms forward.
"Kamehameha !"
A dazzling wave obliterated every frozen avatar… but even more immediately surged in to fill the gap.
"This won't work." Aeos forced herself upright. "We have to find Ozotto's core."
Levos nodded, then sensed something. "My other clone found an abnormal energy fluctuation. It might be Chronoa."
"Take me there!" Aeos demanded urgently.
Levos grabbed Aeos by the wrist and used Instant Transmission. The two vanished, leaving behind a mass of avatars that immediately began regrouping.
…
Deeper inside the manor, the other Cell Max clone was ripping open tumor after tumor in room after room.
Only after the Grand Priest's hint did Levos fully understand what those tumors were.
Every tumor had once contained a life Ozotto devoured.
But now, inside them, all that remained was foul sludge.
Rooms filled with these tumors spread throughout the area interconnected and maze-like, twisting in every direction.
"That way?"
Levos suddenly sensed a familiar energy ripple and shot across room after room.
Tap.
He stopped before a dark purple tumor.
This one was different. Its surface was covered in complex clock-like runes, leaking a faint golden glow.
Without hesitation, Levos stretched out his palm and severed the conduit connecting the tumor to the floor.
WHOOOM!
The entire room convulsed, trying to stop him.
"Found you!"
Levos tore the tumor open.
A pink head appeared then he yanked a petite figure out in one pull.
At the same time, Aeos arrived and cried out.
"Chronoa!"
Chronoa's eyes were closed, her breathing faint.
A quick check confirmed she wasn't in immediate danger.
"No! My power!" Ozotto's roar shook the entire manor. Walls and ground trembled violently. "You're not taking her away!"
The whole room warped and twisted. Countless tentacles erupted from every direction, reaching to seize them.
Levos's clock halo flared.
"Time Stop!"
In the next instant, Levos held Chronoa in his arms and, together with Aeos, disappeared.
…
Inside Zeno's palace, Levos reappeared with Chronoa and Aeos.
A heartbeat later, the other clone finished its search and flashed in as well.
"Mr. Levos! Did it work?" Goten hurried forward.
"It worked." The Grand Priest smiled faintly and stepped in to check Chronoa's condition.
"Her Time Power has weakened drastically… but she can recover through cultivation in the future."
Levos nodded. "Now… we end that thing for good."
Aeos's expression was complicated. "If Zeno-sama doesn't act, it'll be very hard to destroy that monster…"
Before she even finished
Zeno rose from his seat.
Expressionless, he lifted his small hand and directly activated the power of erasure.
"Annoying thing… erase!"
