"What on earth is happening?" Krillin scratched his head.
"It seems like Dad has the upper hand right now," Son Gohan said.
"That's true, and that's the most fortunate thing," Krillin nodded, "but what's strange is that Goku's ki seems to have become very weak."
"But Dad hasn't lost to him yet," Son Gohan replied.
"Goku's ki has weakened, and his energy has dropped," Krillin pondered, "yet, Goku's strength has increased significantly... what on earth is going on?"
"Even you don't know?" Yajirobe asked.
Krillin remained silent.
If I knew, would I be this confused?
"I didn't expect Ultra Instinct to be this useful," Son Goku said, brimming with excitement.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
Vegeta, however, was panting heavily, his expression shifting repeatedly.
How is this possible?
I will absolutely not lose to a low-class warrior like you.
"Snap!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth and raised a hand, a golden energy sphere already manifesting in his palm.
"What? This is..." Son Goku's expression changed slightly.
"Bloom, my moon!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Vegeta hurled the energy sphere high into the sky.
Instantly, the energy sphere emitted a golden radiance, appearing exceptionally eye-catching in the twilight.
"Oh no! It's an Artificial Full Moon!" Son Goku's expression shifted drastically.
"Roar..."
Vegeta transformed, turning into a massive black Great Ape.
"Ultra Instinct? In the face of absolute power, it is impossible for you to defeat me!" Vegeta let out a furious roar, lifted his massive foot, and stomped down toward Son Goku.
Son Goku hurriedly dodged to the side.
But quickly, Vegeta's other massive hand lunged downward in a fierce grab.
Son Goku was startled and hurriedly leaped away to dodge.
"Hmph." Vegeta snorted, extended a claw, and swiped downward.
This time, Son Goku was in mid-air; although he had mastered the most basic level of Ultra Instinct as defined by Luo Tian, he truly lacked the ability to dodge.
"Bang!"
Vegeta's claw struck Son Goku's body.
Like a cannonball, Son Goku was smashed out of the air, leaving a crater in the ground upon impact.
"Hahaha, Kakarot, so you have a day like this too?" Vegeta laughed wildly, and as he spoke, he lifted his massive foot to stomp down on Son Goku.
Son Goku gritted his teeth and hurriedly rolled rapidly across the ground.
"Bang!"
Vegeta's massive foot stomped down beside Son Goku, causing the earth to shake violently for quite a while.
"You're quite agile, Kakarot," Vegeta snorted, lifting his massive foot again.
Stomp!
Stomp!
Stomp!
I'll stomp you to death, you low-class warrior.
Son Goku kept rolling across the ground.
Following that, Son Goku shot into the sky, gathering energy in both hands, aiming them at Vegeta's body.
However, the moment Son Goku gathered his energy, he immediately reverted to his normal energy state.
Son Goku's strength was greatly diminished.
"Bang!"
Vegeta backhanded Son Goku, striking him across the body.
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku was sent flying backward from the blow.
Not far away.
"Oh no, Goku is going to lose to him! What on earth is up with this guy? Why did he suddenly become so huge?" Yajirobe said in shock, "Right, he turned into this form earlier too."
"The tail! That's it! The tail! If we just cut off his tail, he'll be able to return to normal." Krillin had a sudden flash of inspiration.
"The tail?" Son Gohan was also stunned for a moment.
"Here's the plan: Gohan and Yajirobe will distract him from the front, and I'll find a way to cut off his tail from behind," Krillin proposed.
The two of them nodded vigorously.
"Hurry! If this keeps up, Son Goku is definitely going to lose to him!" Krillin urged.
Krillin and Son Gohan immediately sprang into action.
Yajirobe: "..."
Don't include me in this.
I'm terrified.
I'm just here to watch.
"Bang!"
Vegeta slapped Son Goku, sending him hovering into the air.
Immediately after, Vegeta followed up with another punch at the airborne Son Goku.
Son Goku was knocked high into the sky once again.
Just as Vegeta had said, in the face of such absolute energy intensity, the rudimentary version of Ultra Instinct that Son Goku had cultivated was still far from enough.
After all, at this moment, Vegeta's combat power had reached a height of nearly 300,000 after transforming into a Great Ape.
"Pfft..."
As Son Goku flew backward, he spat out a spray of blood.
"How about that, Kakarot? Your Ultra Instinct is still far from enough, isn't it?" Vegeta laughed wildly.
"Snap!"
After saying that, Vegeta reached out with his massive hand and grabbed Son Goku, squeezing him tight.
"Let's continue where we left off... I remember I was going to crush you into a pulp and make you into meat buns to feed the dogs." Vegeta laughed heartily, increasing the pressure in his grip.
"Ah..." Son Goku let out a series of miserable cries.
"Hm? I seem to sense someone nearby." Vegeta paused slightly, having suddenly sensed something.
"Over here! Let my father go!" Son Gohan's voice rang out from beside Vegeta.
"Isn't this Kakarot's little brat? Did you come back specifically to see your father one last time?" Vegeta chuckled. "You've come at just the right time; he's about to die, and this time, there will definitely be no more miracles!"
At this moment, Krillin had already appeared silently behind Vegeta, gently raising his hand.
"Destructo Disc!"
A rapidly spinning golden disc appeared in Krillin's hand.
"Ah... ah... Gohan... get out of here!" Son Goku cried out in pain.
"Watch closely, I'm going to snap his neck now," Vegeta said with a laugh. "Kakarot, a low-class warrior is a low-class warrior after all. No matter how hard you try, you will always be completely crushed by me, a genius warrior!"
Although turning into a Great Ape was somewhat unfair.
But who told you that you couldn't turn into a Great Ape?
Who told you to cut off your own tail?
After all, the Saiyan ability to transform into a Great Ape is one of our innate skills.
Hmm... this doesn't count as unfair.
This is a fair fight!
Because history has always been rewritten by the victors.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, the Destructo Disc whistled toward Vegeta's body.
At this critical moment, Vegeta gave a light jump and dodged the attack.
Krillin was shocked.
"I sensed that there was another person here." Vegeta glanced sideways at Krillin. "You lot are quite loyal, aren't you? Not only did this little brat come, but you, little bald one, followed along too. And to think you actually knew about the tail."
Son Gohan was trembling all over.
Krillin was completely at a loss.
This is bad; he's seen us.
Furthermore, this guy even dodged my Destructo Disc.
Not only that, he is still in his Great Ape form.
This is going to be difficult to deal with.
