"Since you are so anxious to die, then I will grant your wish!" Champa roared.
He raised his right hand to catch Hit's incoming punch and countered with a devastating knee to the assassin's abdomen.
"Ah~!" Hit coughed up blood and flew backward.
Boom!
He crashed into a high mountain, which then crumbled and buried him under a pile of rubble. No one could tell whether he was still alive.
"Hit!"
Although Gabe and the others weren't close to Hit, they still wanted to bring him back for treatment.
"If any of you dares move, don't blame me for what happens next!" Champa growled, casting a fierce glare at the Sixth Universe warriors.
Faced with the threat, Gabe and the rest reluctantly returned to their seats.
Frieza clenched his fists, enraged by Hit's brutal beating. Without hesitation, he flared his energy and charged straight at Champa.
"Tch! You think blocking a single energy blast means you can stand against a God of Destruction? You really overestimate yourself!" Champa scoffed.
He effortlessly caught Frieza's punch, then rammed his knee into Frieza's stomach.
"Ah~!" Frieza let out a cry as blood spurted from his mouth.
"Humans are still humans! No matter how powerful you become, you're still ants before me!"
"Disappear!"
Champa formed a destructive purple energy ball in his palm and hurled it at Frieza.
"Break...!"
Before he could finish, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared and landed a heavy kick to his side.
The energy blast fizzled as Champa flew backward in surprise.
It was Rayden, who had used Instant Transmission to intervene at the last second.
He had been holding back until now, wanting to see the gap between Frieza and the God of Destruction. Clearly, the difference was too vast—Frieza still needed more training.
"Frieza, go and save Hit!" Rayden ordered.
He took two Senzu Beans from his storage ring and handed them to Frieza.
Frieza stood frozen, surprised that Rayden would come to his aid.
"Frieza, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Hit's life is on the line!"
Frieza snapped out of it, accepted the Senzu Bean, and flew toward Hit's last location.
"Damn it!" Champa recovered in midair, his fury boiling over.
"Beerus! Your universe is out of control! You will all pay for this!"
"Rayden, get back here now!" Beerus shouted angrily.
"Lord Beerus, you should stay out of this," Goku interjected, appearing with Instant Transmission.
Seeing Rayden had stepped in, the rest of Universe 7 followed.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Goku, Broly, Cell, Paragus, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta all materialized on the ring.
"Do you all intend to rebel?!" Beerus roared, his godly purple aura flaring around him.
As he prepared to intervene, Whis placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Whis, what are you doing?" Beerus asked, confused.
Whis responded with a rare, serious tone. "Lord Beerus, Goku is right. You must not interfere in this fight."
"Why not?! Champa's going to be pulverized if I don't help him!"
Whis sighed and began explaining.
"Lord Beerus, while you were asleep, Champa entered the Seventh Universe. At the time, Rayden and the others were collecting the Dragon Balls. They encountered Champa during the search. To steal a Dragon Ball, Champa destroyed Broly. Rayden somehow survived the destructive energy. By the time I arrived, Champa and Vados had already left."
"WHAT?!"
Beerus was stunned. "Champa invaded our universe... and killed one of our own?!"
Whis nodded. "If you join him now, Rayden and the others will turn on you without hesitation."
Beerus sighed deeply and slumped back into his seat. "Fine. Let's just hope Champa can hold out like Frieza did."
"Good! Very good!" Champa laughed madly. "You dare attack a God of Destruction? Hiding behind each other like cowards? Pathetic!"
Rayden stepped forward, removing his cloak.
"You don't know how long we've waited for this day."
Everyone from Universe 7 removed their cloaks, and Rayden tucked them into his storage ring.
"Ah~!"
Broly roared as his energy skyrocketed. Storm clouds formed above him, lightning cracking across the sky. His black hair turned silver-white and grew down to his waist. Silver fur spread across his chest and arms. A long, silver-white tail extended from his back.
"Impossible!" Champa gasped. "The ants came back to life... just like Vados warned!"
His eyes widened further. "You destroyed my home?!"
Gasps erupted from the audience. Destroying a God's domain? These warriors were terrifying.
Broly, now in Super Saiyan 5, lunged at Champa.
While in mid-charge, energy gathered in his chest.
"Fat cat, go to hell!"
In a blink, Broly reached Champa and detonated the energy.
"Chest Air Bomb!"
BOOM!
The explosion rocked the entire planet. Champa was sent flying, and a massive crater formed where he once stood, glowing with residual golden light.
Vados and Whis immediately conjured a massive energy shield to protect the spectators.
Frieza and Hit, on their way back, were caught in the shockwave and flung away.
"Goku! Corner that fat cat—don't let him get away!" Rayden shouted as he used Instant Transmission to rescue Frieza and Hit, teleporting them to the Seventh Universe's audience stands.
Goku's eyes gleamed with rage. "We missed him last time. Not again!"
"DRINK! AH!"
They roared as their energies surged. Goku, Vegeta, and Paragus emitted a divine blue aura. Their hair turned brilliant blue, fluttering in the charged air.
With blinding flashes, the trio ascended into Super Saiyan Blue.
