The Last Oracle of Luud

With the Cardinal destroyed, Mutchy stands revealed as the real power behind the throne. He separates Goku and Trunks with a barrage of attacks, then targets Goku directly. Outmatched in his base form, Goku has no choice but to transform into a Super Saiyan to level the playing field.

The golden transformation gives Goku the edge he needs, and the tide of battle begins to shift. Mutchy's attacks grow more desperate as the Saiyan's power surges beyond what the creature anticipated.

Watching the fight remotely, Dolltaki realizes Mutchy cannot win against a Super Saiyan. His solution is extreme: awaken Lord Luud, the massive machine idol that the entire cult worships. The problem is that Luud requires an enormous amount of energy to activate.

Dolltaki addresses the cult's faithful followers, telling them they can achieve eternal life by becoming one with their god. The believers eagerly surrender themselves, only to be converted into dolls and fed to Luud. Their combined life force floods into the machine, and Luud begins to stir.

Meanwhile, Mutchy catches Goku in a crushing grip and begins draining his energy. Goku reverts to his base form, weakening rapidly. Just when things look dire, Trunks reappears and destroys Mutchy with a surprise energy blast from behind, catching the creature completely off guard.

Goku and Trunks return to the fortress searching for Pan, but instead find only the Dragon Ball. Dolltaki steps forward and summons the now fully powered Lord Luud. The colossal Machine Mutant towers over the Saiyans as they brace for what promises to be their most dangerous battle yet.
