King Kai: Has Time Been Rewound?

"I didn't realize Luo Tian was a Saiyan too." Son Goku smiled. "But I think you might be underestimating him."

"Hmph, prepare to die, Kakarot!" Vegeta sneered, his energy erupting wildly.

King Kai's Planet.

King Kai rubbed his eyes hard.

What was going on?

What was happening on Earth?

I was gone to the bathroom for a moment. Why did it feel like the game had been reloaded?

Why had Goku and that Saiyan's injuries completely healed?

And it looked like they were about to fight again.

How had this happened?

King Kai was starting to question reality.

He clearly remembered Vegeta turning into a Great Ape, grabbing Goku, and trying to crush him to death.

What had I missed?

In the distance.

Son Gohan and Krillin were also flying over at high speed.

When they saw Son Goku and Vegeta, they were just as bewildered.

"Am I seeing things, Gohan?" Krillin scratched his head. "Why does Vegeta's energy feel like it's getting stronger?"

"Dad's energy is definitely getting weaker. It's almost gone." Son Gohan's face changed.

"Wait, Goku's still standing over there just fine... He doesn't look hurt at all." Krillin pointed at Son Goku in the distance.

Son Gohan couldn't make sense of it either.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The next moment, Son Goku and Vegeta clashed in another fierce battle.

As agreed, Son Goku didn't use Kaioken this time. Instead, he used Ultra Instinct.

"What? What kind of move is that?" King Kai was baffled again.

Why wasn't he using Kaioken?

"Thud!"

Once Son Goku activated Ultra Instinct, he easily dodged Vegeta's attack and then smacked him hard in the chest.

Vegeta staggered and stumbled backward, nearly falling over.

But he quickly regained his balance and charged at Son Goku again.

"Thud!"

Son Goku leaned slightly to the side, dodging Vegeta's punch. Then he grabbed Vegeta's arm and slammed his elbow into Vegeta's stomach.

"Urgh..."

Vegeta spat blood, disbelief written all over his face.

"Wow... Is Ultra Instinct really that powerful?" Son Goku stared at his hands in surprise.

"W-what... What's going on?" Vegeta was stunned.

I can sense his energy to some extent now.

I can clearly feel that his energy is nowhere near mine. It's not even close.

So why can't I beat him?

"No way! I will never lose to a low-class warrior like you!" Vegeta roared, raising his energy to its limit.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Vegeta unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on Son Goku.

Son Goku handled them with ease.

And as the battle continued, Son Goku suddenly realized that he was getting more and more proficient with Ultra Instinct.

"Thud!"

Son Goku sprang into the air and kicked Vegeta squarely in the chest.

Vegeta flew backward, skidding across the ground and leaving a long trail behind him.

"Crash!"

Vegeta slammed into a boulder behind him.

The boulder collapsed, burying Vegeta beneath it.

"Grrr!"

Vegeta erupted in fury, his energy surging wildly as he leveled the entire area.

"Damn you! I'll make you pay!" Vegeta glared at Son Goku.

How could I lose to a low-class warrior like you?

"You can't even beat me, and you still want to challenge Luo Tian? You should stop dreaming." Son Goku remained calm.

"Galick Gun!" A powerful energy blast suddenly shot from Vegeta's hands.

The blast roared toward Son Goku.

"Whoosh!"

Son Goku flickered aside with Ultra Instinct, effortlessly dodging the Galick Gun.

At the same time, he moved at full speed, appearing behind Vegeta in a flash.

"Thud!"

Son Goku punched Vegeta hard in the back.

"Urgh..."

Vegeta spat blood and hit the ground face-first.

"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!" Vegeta roared.

Bulma's house.

"Huh? Luo Tian? Where did you go just now? You disappeared all of a sudden." When Bulma saw Luo Tian return, she couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

"Didn't you ask me to save Goku? So I went." As he spoke, Luo Tian casually tossed the Scepter aside.

"Clack!"

A holographic image immediately appeared above the Crystal Ball on the Scepter.

It showed Son Goku beating Vegeta soundly.

"You really went?" Bulma stared at him, dumbfounded.

"Of course," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Bulma looked closely at the holographic image again.

Something wasn't right!

Goku had recovered, that was true.

But it looked like Vegeta had recovered too.

"Let them both recover. That way, he'll have someone to fight." Luo Tian smiled. "So I went ahead and healed Vegeta's injuries too."

Bulma: "..."

At the battlefield.

"What happened? Their stamina and injuries seem to have completely recovered..." Yajirobe was baffled too.

I only went over there to take a leak. How did things turn out like this when I came back?

It feels like I've returned to before their fight began.

Also, one of that Saiyan's eyes had clearly been nearly blinded by Goku.

Why does it look perfectly fine now?

And Goku's clothes...

Damn, they're back to normal too.

The Saiyan's armor is the same.

Yajirobe wasn't the only one who was confused. Krillin and Son Gohan were just as baffled.

But the two groups soon met up.

"Yajirobe?" Krillin said, startled.

"Who's that?" Son Gohan jumped.

"Gohan, he's one of us." Krillin explained, then asked, "Yajirobe, have you been here the whole time?"

"More or less..." Yajirobe nodded.

"Do you know what happened just now?" Krillin quickly asked.

"I'm sorry to say, I went to the bathroom. When I got back, things were like this." Yajirobe replied.

Son Gohan: "..."

Krillin: "..."

Talk about bad timing.

"It feels like the two of them started their fight over again..." Krillin mused.

Yajirobe nodded vigorously.

You noticed it too? I thought I was imagining things.
