"Hey, Supreme Kai, did you hear me? I am talking to you!" Quitela said angrily, his tone tinged with impatience.
"Didn't hear." Soya replied without turning his head, his gaze fixed tightly on the crystal ball.
Quitela was so angry that several blue veins bulged on his forehead, his entire body trembling, yet he could do nothing about it.
"Negative emotional value from Quitela +1000!"
...
"What?" Vegeta saw the powerful aura erupting from Son Goku's body, his face immediately changed color, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Son Goku no longer hesitated, swiftly striking out, rushing towards Vegeta at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a bright afterimage, and heavily punching him in the face with full force.
"Bang!"
Vegeta was sent flying backwards, skidding through the air for a great distance.
Son Goku quickly chased after, appearing directly below Vegeta, and fiercely kicked him upwards.
This kick sent Vegeta soaring high into the sky, flying upwards like a meteor.
Vegeta tumbled through the air countless times before finally managing to stop and steady himself, his face etched with rage.
Son Goku, however, rapidly charged up from below, giving Vegeta no chance to catch his breath.
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Vegeta hurriedly brought his hands together, crossing them in front of his chest, preparing to block Son Goku's impact.
However, Son Goku's speed was even faster, giving Vegeta no time to react.
"Swish!"
Son Goku vanished with a flicker, tracing a graceful arc in the air, nimbly flying towards a position behind Vegeta.
Vegeta swung his arm, throwing an energy ball towards the spot where Son Goku had just been, but it hit empty air.
Son Goku disappeared again, appearing diagonally above Vegeta, delivering a vicious kick to his face that left Vegeta dizzy and seeing stars.
"Boom!"
Vegeta plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the rock wall below, kicking up a huge pile of stones and sending dust flying.
Vegeta let out a furious roar, shattering the stones around him, already in a towering rage, his eyes bloodshot like an enraged beast.
Son Goku once again gave chase, giving Vegeta no chance to catch his breath.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Vegeta shouted in exasperation, throwing a punch, the fist wind carrying immense power.
Son Goku, however, nimbly appeared behind Vegeta, and delivered another kick directly to his kidneys, causing Vegeta to grimace in pain.
Vegeta tumbled several times through the air but stubbornly charged forward again, launching a frenzied assault at Son Goku, his moves becoming wild and disorganized.
Son Goku easily dodged Vegeta's punch, and with a precise uppercut hit Vegeta squarely in the abdomen, causing him to double over.
"Pfft... Waugh..."
Blood and stomach acid spewed from Vegeta's mouth, his heart filled with shock and fear. He hastily leaped backward, putting distance between himself and Son Goku, his eyes filled with wariness.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Son Goku was also breathing heavily in great gasps, his face pale.
His body trembled slightly from the heavy burden imposed by the Triple Kaioken, Son Goku was clearly also significantly depleted.
...
High above, Vegeta and Nappa, who had been watching the spectacle, looked at each other, faces filled with astonishment. They hadn't expected Son Goku to be able to push Vegeta to this extent.
Especially Vegeta, who felt an overwhelming sense of bewilderment and resentment.
How can Kakarot surpass me in this world?
How did his battle power rise to such heights in just one year?
This is so unfair!
Nappa suddenly felt a small sense of relief.
It seems the me in this world didn't die unjustly. That Kakarot guy's battle power is actually higher than even Vegeta's. Even if I were alive, I wouldn't be a match.
...
"Bastard! This is impossible! Why is his battle power surpassing mine? I am the strongest Saiyan!" Vegeta was wide-eyed with fury, his entire body trembling with anger, over a dozen veins bulging on his forehead, almost ready to burst.
"You really are a tenacious guy..." Son Goku tightly clenched his fists, but his body shook even more violently, his face growing paler and paler. "If I don't end this battle quickly, it'll probably be dangerous. My body is about to give out."
"I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen. I am a genius warrior. I cannot be defeated by a low-class warrior like you. This is an insult to me!" Vegeta's face became even more ferocious, his eyes filled with madness.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta immediately shot up into the sky, appearing high above, a dazzling mass of energy gathering in his hands. The energy grew larger and larger, the surrounding air distorting around it.
"If you have the ability, dodge it! But if you dodge, Earth will also be destroyed!" Vegeta laughed maniacally, his tone full of threat. Driven to a corner, he would stop at nothing.
"Damn you! In your dreams! I won't let you succeed!" Son Goku gritted his teeth, a flash of resolve in his eyes, immediately activating the Triple Kaioken. He extended his hands forward, gathering the Kamehameha, blue energy converging in his hands.
"Galick Gun!"
"Kamehameha!"
Their energies collided in mid-air, producing a violent storm.
The energy shockwave spread out in all directions, darkening the entire sky.
Soon, Son Goku's Kamehameha was suppressed by Vegeta's Galick Gun, gradually being pushed towards the ground.
"Quadruple!"
Son Goku shouted, straining with all his might to increase the Kaioken multiplier. The aura around his body surged once again.
"Boom!"
The powerful impact shot straight up ninety thousand miles into the vast sky, instantly blasting away Vegeta's Galick Gun. The blue Kamehameha wave, like a giant dragon, charged towards Vegeta.
Vegeta was also sent flying high into the sky by the Kamehameha wave, quickly disappearing from sight.
Son Goku remained in place, breathing heavily in great gasps, his body swaying unsteadily. He struggled to stand, refusing to let himself fall. He had exhausted all his strength.
"Kakarot, well done! You sent Vegeta flying! Too amazing!" Raditz was overjoyed, excitedly clenching his fists.
"Goku, you really did a great job, actually defeating that formidable guy." Yajirobe crawled out from behind a huge rock, a sword still in his hand, and came to Son Goku's side.
"There was someone else hiding here? How didn't I notice?" Raditz was stunned, somewhat surprised.
"Yajirobe?" Son Goku turned his head to look at Yajirobe, weakly asking, "What are you doing here?"
"You didn't sense me?" Yajirobe laughed, scratching his head. "You were busy fighting that guy the whole time, it's normal you didn't see me! But, speaking of which, you managed to drive off such a ferocious guy, that's truly remarkable!"
As he spoke, Yajirobe patted Son Goku on the back, intending to show encouragement.
Son Goku, however, let out a sharp cry of pain, grimacing, his body swaying, nearly falling over.
"What's wrong with you?" Yajirobe asked strangely, somewhat at a loss.
"I used a technique my body could hardly bear. Now my whole body feels like it's falling apart." Son Goku's voice was low, his face as pale as paper.
