Years Later, Bardock Had Become a God of Destruction
"It's not your place to decide these things!" Bardock scoffed, gathering energy in his hands. "I have no intention of dying before defeating you!"
"Boom!"
Bardock unleashed his energy at Jass, breaking free from his restraints and knocking him to the ground with a punch and a kick.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Bardock was panting heavily, feeling increasingly exhausted.
Jass, however, became even more enraged, baring his teeth and trembling with hatred.
"What are you thinking? Knowing you can't win, why do you keep going?" Jass was truly furious. "Is this some kind of act of redemption before you die? Do you think that saving that brat will atone for the mistakes you Saiyan made?"
"No," Bardock replied.
"Is... is that revenge?" Jass asked again. "The hatred they feel for us because of the Namekian and Planet Cereal women we killed cannot be erased."
"No, not exactly." Bardock shook his head.
"Then what are you fighting for?" Jass shouted. "What are you really thinking?"
"Smack!"
Bardock took a deep breath, and golden light suddenly emanated from his body.
However, his hair was still black.
Jass was stunned for a moment, but he still rushed towards Bardock and punched him.
Bardock raised his hand and caught Jass's fist.
Jass looked on in astonishment, utterly shocked by the change in Bardock.
"Is that even a question? In a life-or-death battle that decides everything, would any fool consider anything other than victory?" Bardock snorted coldly, launched a swift attack, and landed a heavy punch on his opponent's abdomen, sending him flying.
"Puff!"
Jass coughed up a mouthful of blood, screaming in pain, his face contorted even more.
"This... this is impossible! Saiyan should only have the Great Ape transformation!" Jass grinned, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
"It's just that you're ignorant," Bardock said calmly. "Whenever we Saiyan break through our limits, we undergo significant evolution."
"What... what a joke! How could a mere Saiyan surpass me!" Jass roared, slamming his head against the ground, his eyes rolling back. "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Bang!"
Bardock charged forward again and launched a fierce attack on Jass, unleashing a massive Ki Blast that struck him.
"Boom!"
After everything had settled down, Jass lay in a large pit, back to her original appearance, completely unconscious.
"Ah..."
Jass shuddered violently, immediately snapping out of his reverie, and glared angrily at Goku opposite him.
"Vegeta, you're really cold-hearted in another timeline," Goku sighed, turning to his own Vegeta.
"Hmph! Didn't manage to get any information out of you, huh?" Vegeta gloated.
"What information?" Goku was taken aback. He wasn't trying to extract information, but instead asked Vegeta, "Vegeta, what do you think of those two guys?"
Vegeta gave Granolah a deep look and murmured, "That green-skinned person looks like Cerealian."
"Never heard of it." Goku shook his head.
"A long time ago, we Saiyan conquered that planet, and I heard we wiped out everyone on it," Vegeta said in a deep voice. "And your father should have been involved in that battle. Let's ask him when he comes over."
"My dad?" Goku immediately scanned the arena, searching for Bardock's figure.
Bardock had already landed on the ring with the players from Universe 9 earlier.
Upon seeing Goku's gaze, Bardock immediately looked in their direction.
Bardock then gave instructions to the contestants from Universe 9 before stepping forward and looking intently at Granolah.
"Dad," Goku greeted.
Calorie, standing to the side, remained silent and even hummed softly.
Perhaps Calorie didn't want to greet her father here, and there was a hint of arrogance in her expression.
"Grandpa!" Goten ran over excitedly and threw himself into Bardock's arms.
Bardock gently rubbed Goten's head, his face full of doting affection.
"Granolah, you've grown up," Bardock said to Granolah.
"You...you're the Saiyan saved me and my mother?" Granolah immediately came to her senses. "If it weren't for you...we probably..."
"That was all a long time ago. It's great that you can represent Universe 7 in the competition." Bardock smiled calmly.
"Thank you!" Granolah quickly expressed her gratitude and bowed to Bardock.
"Your mother would be so happy to see you now." Bardock nodded. "Keep up the good work and strive for good results so your mother can see."
Granolah lowered her head, a look of sadness on her face.
However, Lord Beerus said that if I can achieve excellent results in this competition, he will find a way to resurrect my parents and some of my people.
Having figured this out, Granolah took a deep breath, her face filled with determination.
"Keep it up!" Bardock stepped forward and patted Granolah on the shoulder.
"Dad, how are the contestants from your universe?" Goku asked excitedly.
"It's alright... but it can't compare to Universe 6." Bardock shook his head slightly.
"What should we do then?" Goku suddenly thought of something.
If Universe 9 loses the match, will my dad be wiped out too?
This is terrible!
Goku's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a great idea.
If I can persevere to the end, I will achieve final victory.
If I just make a wish to the Super Dragon God, wouldn't it be enough to restore all the universes?
This is the only way.
Goku made up his mind.
This is Goku's belief, and it has never been shaken.
He has people he needs to protect.
"Although your mother and I may disappear, we are already content knowing that Kakarot can thrive here," Bardock smiled.
Goku scratched his head.
"If your mother and I really disappear, and if your universe survives to the end, remember to bring your brother back when you have time," Bardock said earnestly.
"You mean Raditz? I almost forgot about him if you hadn't mentioned him." Goku slapped his forehead.
"Hmph, let's just ignore that kind of trash," Calorie couldn't help but say from the side.
Bardock: "..."
Bardock really wanted to go up and give his youngest son a good beating.
Who does this kid take after?
Why are you so annoying?
