He says what he”s doing is not enough before telling the booing crowd to shut up. His goal is not to beat Darby Allin, his goal is to exterminate Darby Allin.

He says with all that considered, he’s going to take some time off since there’s no one else to contend. Out comes Evil Uno and Dark Order. Uno tells Omega he thinks differently. Omega tells him and his videogame playing freaks to walk back, none of them have enough singles win to challenge him. Uno says he’s right, but they’re friends with someone who does.
