"Human, take this!"

Dark Kefla brought the fingers of her right hand together, and a long sword materialized in her grasp.

Dark Kefla swung her sword, slashing straight at her opponent's face, intent on cutting him in half.

Deep Blue Vegito curled his fingers into a claw, instantly forming a compressed energy sphere and reaching out to seize his opponent with it.

The sword struck the energy sphere, and the terrifying energy exploded, sending both of them flying.

"Not bad. You really are strong. Then try this!"

Vegito pressed his hands together, then pulled them apart. A terrifying energy sphere appeared between his palms, its energy compressed to the utmost.

"Ultimate Sublimation Destructo Disc!"

The energy sphere began to compress. Its spherical shape quickly flattened into a disc, from which a razor-sharp aura radiated.

Vegito launched a Destructo Disc. Dark Kefla didn't dare take it head-on and swiftly dodged. She barely managed to evade the disc, but it still sliced off several strands of her hair.

"What a boring trick!"

"That remains to be seen."

Vegito extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand and gave them a slight curl. The Destructo Disc that had flown away suddenly turned and came back.

Not only that, its speed doubled, and it became even more agile.

Sensing the blade's edge behind her, Dark Kefla dodged again, but to no avail. Vegito kept controlling the Destructo Disc, maneuvering it as nimbly as a finger. There was no escaping it.

With a sharp hiss, a gash opened on Dark Kefla's body, and bright red blood dripped down. At last, she had been wounded for the first time.

"Damn it!"

Dark Kefla's aura erupted. She casually threw out an energy blast, only for the Destructo Disc to slice it cleanly in half.

Dark Kefla's eyes widened. You can do that too?

"Divide!"

As Vegito made a special gesture, the Destructo Disc, already moving at incredible speed, split apart, instantly turning into countless tiny versions no bigger than fingers!

Dark Kefla felt sick at the sight. One had already been hard enough to deal with; now there were so many, and they were even faster.

"If that's how it is, then bring it on!"

A sinister grin spread across Dark Kefla's lips.

The next moment, a card appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"I'd planned to use this against the God of Devastation. Since you're so eager to die, I'll let you find out what despair feels like!"

Gamos had seen everything that happened in the sky. When he saw the other party holding a card, a hint of confusion showed in his eyes.

"Since when did Zamasu get into card games?"

The others had seen it too, and they were just as puzzled. Her opponent's ultimate move was about to hit, yet she had abandoned her defense to play with a card.

"Super Saiyan 4 Experience Card."

As she placed the card against her body, it turned into specks of light that burrowed into her.

Then a terrifying power burst forth. The sheer force of her rising aura shattered all the Destructo Discs.

Dark Kefla placed her hands in front of her chest, then unleashed another burst of energy. Dense power enveloped her entire body, but unlike before, its color had changed.

The green energy was replaced by red, and a long tail appeared behind her.

Thick red fur covered her body, while her surging muscles brimmed with wild strength. Her once-lush green pineapple-shaped hair had turned black as well.

"Super Saiyan 4! How is that possible?"

Gamos's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. With her level of strength, there was no way she could reach this form. If she really could, he never would have been able to capture her.

"Hahahaha!"

Dark Kefla laughed wildly. When she looked at Vegito again, her eyes glowed with bloodlust.

"This time, I'm going to tear you to pieces."

Feeling the bloodline suppression, Vegito's body began to tremble involuntarily. At the Super Saiyan 4 stage, one's bloodline underwent an ultimate sublimation—especially when the other party possessed the Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline.

Even Deep Blue Vegito was no more than an ant in front of her.

Dark Kefla flashed in front of him, raised her right hand, and punched him.

With a thud, Vegito was sent flying. As the light faded, Krillin and Yamcha's battered figures appeared in the crater.

After taking that heavy blow, Vegito could no longer hold on. His energy was completely exhausted, and the fusion naturally ended.

"Oh no!"

Sun Wukong and Vegeta saw what had happened, and their hearts sank.

Those two impostors were the strongest fighters left. Now even the fused Vegito had lost. Who could possibly stand against her?

"Hahahaha! Insignificant humans, now you've seen the power of the gods!"

Dark Kefla laughed joyfully in midair. This incomparable power was simply too great.

"Is that so?"

Hearing someone still dare to defy her, Dark Kefla turned toward the voice and saw a fat cat.

"Zamasu! You stole a body from my Universe 6 and still dare to show your face in front of me? And, most importantly, you dared to interrupt my meal! What crime do you think you've committed?"

Champa stood up and slowly flew over to her.

"Tch, Champa, why aren't you staying in your Universe 6? What are you doing here? Never mind, it doesn't matter. With this kind of power, I'm not afraid of you anymore!"

Clearly, Dark Kefla had gotten carried away.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Champa narrowed his eyes, a dangerous gleam in them.

Everyone was delighted to see this. The God of Devastation had stepped in, which meant Earth still had a chance.

"With the God of Devastation here, Earth will be fine."

Everyone regained their confidence and watched the two figures in the sky nervously.

"Don't get too excited. Kefla's strength after reaching Super Saiyan 4 is definitely not to be underestimated. Even the God of Devastation might not be able to defeat her quickly. If she escapes, she'll still be a huge threat."

Just as everyone was getting fired up, Gamos couldn't help pouring cold water on them.

Hearing Gamos's words, Vados covered her mouth and giggled.

"Little Gamos, do you have some misunderstanding about the God of Devastation? The God of Devastation possesses the power to destroy anything. It's beyond anything you can imagine."

By the time she finished speaking, the battle in the sky had already begun.

Dark Kefla attacked first, her fist wrapped in red flames as she swung it straight at Champa. Champa punched back, and the two of them were evenly matched.

"A mere God of Devastation thinks he can stop me?"

"You'll pay for underestimating a God of Devastation."

Champa let out an angry roar. Terrifying Destruction Energy quickly covered his body, and the fat on him began to tighten until he transformed into a mass of muscle.

(For reference, picture a busty chicken powering up.)

"Destroy!"

As the words left his mouth, Champa teleported in front of her and struck her in the chest with his palm. Dark Kefla tried to counterattack, but suddenly felt her strength draining away.

She looked down and saw that her chest had vanished, replaced by a gaping hole.

"How is this possible?"

Champa slapped her across the forehead, slamming Dark Kefla into the ground.

"Tch, with strength like that, you still dared to show off in front of a God of Devastation? You must have a death wish."

Champa spat contemptuously.

"Kid, since you treated me to a meal, I left her alive. But let's be clear: I didn't help you. She offended me, and I simply decided to spare her."

Hearing Champa's haughty words, Gamos was overjoyed. Champa's intervention had been unexpected, and it had really helped them out.

"Thank you, Lord Champa!"

"Piccolo, do we have any Senzu Beans left?"

Piccolo shook his head and replied,

"The Senzu Beans we got earlier were all taken by Sun Wukong and Vegeta for training. I'll go ask Korin for some more!"

With that, he used Instant Transmission and disappeared.

"Ginyu, time to get to work."

Gamos grabbed Ginyu by the collar and lifted him up.

"Hey, hey, that guy's terrifying! I'm not going near him!"

After seeing the battle, Ginyu was practically traumatized. Was that really a human? Even my King Frieza probably couldn't block one of her fingers!

"Do you still want your king to be revived?"

"Uh... all right!"

Out of loyalty to his king, Ginyu overcame his fear.

He used Instant Transmission to appear beside Dark Kefla. She was still lying on the ground, but one hand was pressed to her chest, glowing with a soft green light.

"Oh no, she's healing herself! Hurry, do something!"

The life force of a fused Saiyan was incredibly resilient. Add Zamasu's healing arts as an Apprentice Supreme Kai, and she really might turn the tables.

"Change!"

Dark Kefla struggled to lift her head. She saw a very short, purple-skinned fellow with pointy ears fire a beam of light at her.

Just this little guy? I could stand here and let him hit me, and I doubt he could even hurt me.

As she thought this, the beam struck her, and the world spun around her.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself standing on the ground.

Huh? Wasn't I lying down just now? Why do I feel so much shorter?

She looked at her hands, then at Kefla lying on the ground. A bad feeling crept over her.

"Well, well, well, Zamasu. Try acting tough now!"

Gamos grabbed her by the collar and lifted her off the ground.

Looking at Zamasu transformed into Pilaf, Gamos grinned.

Back in the courtyard, Gamos tossed her onto the ground.

"Everyone, we did it! Look at poor Zamasu here. Anyone feel like giving her a beating?"

When they heard that the Pilaf in front of them was Zamasu, everyone rolled up their sleeves.

Bulma was first. She marched over and slapped her hard across the face.

"You destroyed my whole yard, you awful bastard!"

Chi-Chi wasn't about to be left behind. She marched up and kicked her.

"You dared to hit my man? What gave you the nerve? I don't care if it's my husband's body from the future—that still doesn't make it okay."

The two women beat her up with fists and kicks, leaving everyone else stunned. Who knew women could be so terrifying when they unleashed their fighting power?
