Krillin and Mr. Popo confirmed that Fat Buu’s stabilized Majin core could accept the second Third Eye of the Demon Realm, and Piccolo prepared a Dragon God Barrier for the fusion. Krillin placed the crystal into Buu, and purple-gold light erupted from his brow as the process began.

• The Third Eye of the Demon Realm merged with Buu’s Majin core and unleashed a torrent of ancient Demon Realm laws inside him.

• Krillin, Buu, and Mr. Popo entered the Main Hall and confronted Quitela and Cognac.
• Quitela recognized Krillin’s Zeno’s Palace pass and mocked him, asking whether Beerus had sent him to beg for help.

Krillin confronted Quitela in the God of Destruction Realm and told him Zeno had approved his replacement. After Quitela's destruction energy failed against Krillin, Quitela was left terrified as Krillin declared his time as God of Destruction was over.

Buu completed his transformation after his Majin essence fused with the divine, Demon Realm, and converted destruction powers, reaching a stable 999-dimensional perfect form. He celebrated by asking for more cake, while Krillin considered how Buu’s ability to absorb and assimilate energy might make him uniquely capable of consuming everything.

• Krillin told Bardock that Quitela was dead and offered him the vacant God of Destruction position in Universe 4.
• Krillin explained that Bardock's past service to Frieza had taught him the consequences of abusing destruction, and described the duties and power of a God of Destruction.
