The overarching cosmic threat reaches a terrifying turning point in the gripping tenth episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, titled "Ultimate Aggregor." The intense race across the stars to save the five Andromeda refugees hits a dead end, forcing Ben Tennyson and his team into a final, desperate stand against an unhinged mastermind.

As the villain's true master plan is laid bare, the stakes shift from a rescue mission to a fight for universal survival. Armed with the evolutionary powers of the Ultimatrix, Ben must push his transformations past their absolute absolute limits to halt a catastrophic absorption ritual that could grant an evil Osmosian infinite cosmic power.

“I am no longer just Aggregor. I am your absolute destruction.”

Episode Summary

Ben, Gwen, and Kevin hunt down the sinister Osmosian warlord Aggregor to his secret base, determined to liberate the five captured Andromeda aliens: Bivalvan, Galapagus, P'andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad. However, they arrive to discover they are seconds too late. Aggregor has successfully activated a massive, high-tech conversion chamber designed to perfectly synthesize and absorb the unique DNA structures of all five captives simultaneously.

Unlike Kevin's temporary, unstable mutations, Aggregor's machine allows him to cleanly inherit 100% of the aliens' abilities with zero psychological degradation. The capsule doors burst open to reveal a grotesque, all-powerful amalgamation of cosmic power: Ultimate Aggregor. Possessing the combined armor of Andreas, the flight of Ra'ad, the hydro-cannons of Bivalvan, the wind generation of Galapagus, and the radioactive heat of P'andor, he is completely unstoppable.

A brutal battle erupts across the crumbling facility. Ben attempts to counter this god-like entity by pushing the Ultimatrix into overdrive, turning to heavy hitters like Humungousaur and triggering his evolutionary state into Ultimate Humungousaur. Despite launching a barrage of bio-blasts, Aggregor effortlessly tanks the attacks using his composite shields, soundly defeating the entire team. With the heroes completely incapacitated, Aggregor reveals that this absorption was merely step one of a much grander scheme to alter reality itself, before flying off into deep space.
