Dragon Ball: I Became Cell in a Doomed Future-Chapter 215 - 215: So That’s Your Game, Thick-Brows Champa

"Levos? Never heard of him! But the name of the Galactic Emperor, Frieza that, I have heard even in Universe 9."
"Ha! Champa, everyone knows you and Beerus are in the same camp!"
"You aren't seriously believing that nonsense Son Goku spouted, right?"
"He says he's the weakest among Universe 7's fighters and you just take that at face value? Naive!"
"Champa, you traitor, stop messing things up!"
Champa's face went from purple to extra purple.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Everything Son Goku said is true! Universe 7 has tons of people stronger than him!"
"You really think that straight-brained idiot knows how to lie?"
"And besides I've been to Universe 7!"
Hearing this, the gods hesitated.
Son Goku really wasn't the type to brag for no reason.
"Perhaps Son Goku wasn't trying to glorify his own universe after all."
"Champa seems to know Universe 7 better than any of us."
"That's right he and his Angel nearly died there."
"And his universe competes directly with Beerus'. He can't afford to lose."
"But the biggest problem remains… aside from Son Goku, we have no way to target Universe 7's other fighters."
The gods were getting nowhere.
"Well, regardless, I still don't trust anything that monkey says."
"Just restricting him is enough. At the very least, Universe 7 should not get an extra substitute…"
The Supreme Kai of Universe 11, Kai, stepped forward solemnly.
"Grand Minister, for the sake of fairness, I request that Son Goku be barred from participating in the remaining exhibition matches."
Finally, the Grand Minister's gaze fell upon Goku.
"Then, Son Goku…"
Goku answered calmly,
"Grand Minister, I want to participate in the upcoming matches… but something's wrong with my body. I can't fight right now. I can't even control my Ki properly."
Piccolo stiffened.
"What? Why?!"
Even Goku himself couldn't give a precise explanation.
Levos sighed and stepped forward, explaining Goku's delayed Ki-chaos syndrome
a known after-effect of stacking Super Saiyan transformations with Kaio-ken.
Fortunately, it wasn't life-threatening. More like severe muscle soreness and Ki turbulence. A few days of rest would fix it.
But one thing hadn't changed:
Goku's heart disease had never truly been cured.
The special medicine wouldn't work unless the symptoms actually broke out.
It remained a ticking time bomb.
Thus, Goku voluntarily withdrew from the rest of the Exhibition Match.
To the gods, this result brought no joy.
All the scheming, all the maneuvering
and in the end, they had been punching air.
Now they were lost.
How were they supposed to sabotage Universe 7 next?
Naturally, all eyes turned to Champa.
Waiting for him to propose the next scheme.
Seeing himself become the center of attention, Champa suddenly became unhurried.
He leisurely finished his cup of soda, and just when the gods' patience reached its breaking point…
A sly smile curved across his face.
"Grand Minister, I propose adding a review phase one that disqualifies any fighters who have cheated."
The arena fell silent for a heartbeat
Then erupted.
"A review phase? What is Champa implying?!"
"Could it be that someone in Universe 7 boosted their power by cheating?"
"That is very suspicious. How can mere mortals possess strength rivaling Son Goku's?!"
Beerus frowned hard.
"Whis… don't tell me the 'method to restrict Levos' strength' that Vados hinted at… is this?"
Piccolo, with his Namekian hearing, instantly perked up.
Whis answered calmly,
"I'm not certain. But… Champa's target is probably not Levos alone."
Then he added:
"And your concern is valid. Even without Levos, all our other Universe 7 fighters vastly surpass that Toppo fellow."
Piccolo's face changed abruptly.
"Wait don't tell me… he really found a way to neutralize ALL of us!"
The fighters of Universe 7 finally realized:
Champa might actually have a fully prepared trap.
How would the audit work?
What standards would determine 'cheating'?
No one knew.
"Levos… what do we do?" Puar whispered nervously.
"Relax," Levos said calmly. "Just watch. A match with no uncertainty is dull. This might make things interesting."
Besides
Goku had already earned Zeno's approval.
Even if Universe 7 lost the real tournament, the safety of Earth and its fighters would remain guaranteed.
By the wager between Beerus and Champa, Earth technically already belonged to Universe 6.
Worst case?
They could hand Earth over to Universe 6 before erasure.
And honestly…
If Universe 7 lost, Zeno might wipe out all the universe's villains in one go.
A total win-win.
So Levos was perfectly happy to sit back and enjoy the show.
Seeing him remain so calm, the rest of Universe 7 relaxed as well, quietly waiting for the Grand Minister's reply.
"Please continue," the Grand Minister said to Champa.
Champa nodded.
"Grand Minister, the Namekians in our universe possess a technique allowing different individuals to fuse into a single being. They call it Assimilation."
He continued,
"After assimilation, the resulting being's strength increases dramatically. Much like the Potara earrings strictly speaking, the fused person is no longer the original one."
The Grand Minister seemed to grasp Champa's meaning.
"And how do you propose we conduct this audit?"
Champa replied smoothly,
"Our universe's Yardrats possess a technique that can separate merged individuals spirit separation. They can restore those who were never meant to be one."
Piccolo's face darkened instantly.
"Levos… this is bad. Universe 6 really came prepared!"
"Yeah," Levos nodded.
He immediately understood Champa's plan.
Champa and Vados had once fought alongside them through the Zamasu incident.
Naturally, they knew exactly where Levos and the others got their ridiculous strength.
Originally, Levos had created fourteen miniature Cell juniors.
He himself absorbed eight.
Piccolo and Majin Buu absorbed four.
Only the eldest and second Cell juniors remained intact.
Each junior possessed power on par with Cell Max a perfect resource for assimilation.
Champa was targeting this precise weakness.
So, that thick-browed, big-eyed traitor… that's the scheme you cooked up!
Of course, Levos had expected something like this eventually.
After all, Moro had the exact same Yardrat technique in the manga.
It was the reason Gogeta and Vegito never even got a chance to appear.
Levos felt speechless, but not worried.
Even if he himself, Piccolo, Buu, and Puar were disqualified
There was still Frieza.
Levos honestly hadn't expected the lizard to become the team's last hope.
Just thinking about it felt absurd.
But at that exact moment, Champa delivered the fatal blow:
"…And conveniently, Vados also knows the Separation Technique."
The arena erupted.
"Grand Minister, we must not tolerate Universe 7's cheating any longer!"
"Too despicable! Using fusion and assimilation to inflate their power!"
"Universe 7 has no shame!"
"They must be disqualified!"
Both gods and fighters from every universe shouted in outrage, condemning Universe 7.
Levos finally had to step forward.
"Assimilation was a method used to address the Zamasu crisis. Before this tournament, none of us even knew such a competition existed. Calling it cheating is baseless."
Beerus immediately backed him.
"That's right! Stop twisting facts, Champa!"
Shin added firmly,
"Disqualifying our fighters is far too extreme. We absolutely cannot accept that."
On Universe 6's stands, Vados chuckled softly.
"Champa, I told you at best, we can restrict Levos' strength. Trying something this unreasonable was never going to work."
"You whose side are you even on?!" Champa stomped furiously.
"Universe 6 can't afford to lose!"
"Well… I am actually very interested in Universe 7. I'm thinking of transferring there to work."
Champa nearly exploded.
"Vados!! Use the separation technique on them now!!"
