He eventually used Destruction Power to crack the barrier, prompting Rhode to realize that several kinds of Divine Power existed and that his own Self-Perfected Ultra Instinct lacked one.

• Rhode expelled Champa from the Extra-dimensional Space, then vanished before Champa and Vados could investigate further.
