Aeos places the Time Scrolls into an enchanted box, before she and Chronoa both unleash their true forms and begin fighting each other. Chronoa tries to talk Aeos out of her plan by arguing that while the growing number of timelines does present a problem, many of those timelines are all worthy of existence due to their potential. Aeos refuses to change her mind, declaring that there must only be one timeline, and overpowers Chronoa. Goku arrives with the Time Fairy that he obtained from Bardock, and also asks Aeos not to erase the defeated timelines. When Aeos refuses and attacks him, he taps into Ultra Instinct again and begins fighting her. Goku and Aeos prove to be fairly evenly-matched; Aeos surrounds Goku with energy blasts to keep him from dodging and fires a powerful beam attack at him, but he dodges using Instant Transmission and lands a direct hit on her with a Kamehameha. Aeos is shocked that Goku was able to break through her defenses, so she decides that he must be eliminated and begins to power up. Meanwhile, it's revealed that Mechikabura's spirit is still alive among the remains of the Universe Tree. He declares that he will have his revenge, but he's suddenly ambushed and impaled by Demigra, who begins absorbing Mechikabura's Dark Factor for himself.
