The third wave attacked Lin Chen together, but his Golden Great Ape form overwhelmed most of them after breaking free. As Frost prepared to fight in his Golden form, Cocotte and Kunshi revealed their defensive abilities and Kahseral ordered the remaining warriors to press the attack.

• Kunshi restrained Lin Chen with energy threads while Cocotte and warriors from Universes 2, 3, and 10 attacked him, but their blows barely affected him.

• Lin Chen broke Kunshi’s threads, knocked warriors from Universes 2, 10, and 6 out of the Ring, then triggered Kunshi’s energy mines beneath his feet.
• Champa threatened Frost for standing aside, prompting Frost to reveal his Golden form and announce that he would show his true power.
• Cocotte blocked Lin Chen’s shockwave with an alternate-dimension sphere, and Kahseral told the third wave to attack without fear while Kunshi and Cocotte handled defense.
