Vegeta's Moment of Glory

Meanwhile, in another part of Namek.

"Swish! Swish!"

In the distance, two auras were erupting.

"Vegeta, what is the meaning of this?" Cui demanded, furious.

"Nothing much. I'll be taking the Dragon Balls."

Vegeta sneered, five soccer-ball-sized Dragon Balls resting behind him.

"Trying to hog the credit? Die right here!"

Cui flared his aura and blasted a ki wave toward Vegeta.

"Hmph! Fool!"

Vegeta also released his aura with ease.

"Swish!"

"Boom!"

The mere pressure of his aura completely deflected Cui's ki wave.

"What? How is this possible?"

Cui was shocked and enraged.

In his memory, Vegeta's combat power was the same as his own—only 18,000—so his casual blast shouldn't have been so easily brushed aside.

"Open your dog eyes and behold this Prince's combat power!" Vegeta laughed.

Then.

"Boom!"

A white aura surged into the sky!

"Wh... what?"

Cui stared at the skyrocketing numbers on his scouter, cold sweat dripping down his face.

The scouter indicated that Vegeta's combat power was now 30,000!

"To deal with you, this is more than enough!" Vegeta sneered.

"Im... impossible! The scouter must be broken! How could a wild monkey like you have a higher combat power than me!"

Cui refused to believe it.

"Then go to hell!"

Before the words had even faded, Vegeta's figure suddenly vanished, a white shadow instantly appearing before Cui.

Still in shock, Cui suddenly saw a white blur flash before his eyes; before he could react, he took a punch to the gut.

"Puh! Argh!"

The violent impact forced Cui to vomit bile, his internal organs churning.

"Hmph!"

Vegeta pressed his advantage, following up with a knee strike to Cui's chin.

"Crack!"

A sickening sound of bone shattering echoed as the purple figure was launched into the air like a cannonball.

"Aaaah—!"

Cui's jaw was shattered, and he let out a shrill scream.

"Trash! Die!"

Vegeta pointed both hands upward, and a small ki blast flew toward the figure in mid-air.

"Boom!"

A beautiful firework bloomed in the sky.

"What a filthy firework."

Vegeta sneered.

During his trip to Earth, although he had been brutally thrashed by Li Feng, he had to admit that fighting against experts allowed him to improve much faster.

Vegeta was now able to fully control his own ki.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!..."

At this moment, Vegeta's scouter was jumping wildly.

"Hm? Who is it? Two powerful auras are flying in my direction?"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two figures clad in Frieza Force armor flew into view.

"Huh? Why is it Vegeta?"

A pink, rotund man stared at his Scouter, speaking in disbelief.

"Hey, Vegeta, who was the person fighting you just now? How did they disappear?"

The green-skinned man beside him asked.

"So it's Dodoria and Zarbon. Why have the two of you come?"

Vegeta sneered.

So it's Frieza's two lapdogs. Their combat power is only a little over twenty thousand; they are no match for me. I must finish them off before the Ginyu Force arrives.

"Answer my question, Vegeta!"

Dodoria said, displeased.

"We are here under the orders of Lord Frieza to collect the Dragon Balls. How is your progress?"

"Oh, the Dragon Balls are right there in the pile of rocks behind me."

Vegeta pointed.

"Hmph, you've done a decent job with your work."

Dodoria let out a cold snort, unaware that he had already fallen into a fatal trap.

As Dodoria's corpulent body passed by Vegeta's side, Vegeta's lips curled into a grin.

"Ha!"

Vegeta instantly exploded with energy!

Dodoria had no time to react at all.

He saw his own chest being pierced through by Vegeta's fist!

"Cough! Ah--!"

Dodoria let out a painful scream.

Arrogant and conceited as he was, he never imagined that the weak Vegeta could actually inflict such a grave injury upon him!

"Go to hell, you disgusting creature."

As soon as the words left his lips, he followed up with a Ki Blast that blew Dodoria to smithereens.

"Wh... what?"

Zarbon, standing behind, hadn't even reacted before Dodoria was insta-killed.

"It's your turn, trash."

Vegeta stared at Zarbon.

"Don't think that just because you've gotten a little stronger you can be so rampant. I didn't want to use this form, but as long as you die, no one will ever know."

Currently, Zarbon's Scouter displayed Vegeta's combat power at 25,000.

"Ha!"

With the eruption of a powerful aura, Zarbon's appearance underwent a massive transformation.

His once handsome face became hideous, and his entire body grew bulky and bloated.

Although Zarbon had become stronger, he had also become incredibly ugly.

"Hmph, your appearance truly makes me feel sick."

Seeing Zarbon after his transformation, Vegeta mocked him.

"Die!"

Zarbon was enraged by shame; his image was ruined, and he had to eliminate anyone who knew his true form.

His massive frame did not hinder his speed in the slightest.

"Useless trash!"

Vegeta clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging once more.

"Ha!"

Whoosh!

Vegeta's energy rose again!

White energy was released from his body, forming a white whirlwind that raged across the area.

Zarbon's massive hand struck toward him, intending to crush Vegeta's head with a single grip.

But how could Vegeta, having increased his combat power, fail to see through Zarbon's movements?

Vegeta simply sidestepped, blocked with his left hand, and threw Zarbon over his shoulder.

"Boom!"

A humanoid crater formed on the ground, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

Before Zarbon could react, another kick landed on his chest, crushing his sturdy battle armor into dust.

"Pfft! Ah!"

Only then did the intense pain in his body register, and Zarbon cried out in agony.

"Hmph, I'll let you die knowing this: this prince's power level has reached 35,000, you trash!"

Vegeta taunted again.

He felt a surge of satisfaction, the feeling of being in control was back!

Yes, this was the state a prince like him, Vegeta, should be in!

Just you wait, Li Feng, soon you'll be beneath my feet just like this!

"Im...possible!"

Zarbon gasped, his voice weak and filled with terror.

"Go to hell!"

Vegeta raised his right hand, a white energy sphere rapidly condensing.

Under Zarbon's despairing and unwilling gaze, the blast struck his body.

"Boom!"

Another brilliant explosion.

The original humanoid crater was further expanded by the terrifying energy.

After the dust settled.

Zarbon's trace was long gone from the pit.

"Hmph hmph hmph! Hahahahaha!"

Vegeta burst into maniacal laughter.

So I've already become this strong!

Just you wait, Li Feng, and Frieza, once I gather the Dragon Balls and make my wish, you'll both be groveling at my feet!

Vegeta continued his fantasy.

"What? Five more powerful ki signatures?!"

At this moment, Vegeta's scouter began beeping incessantly.

Vegeta's senses indicated only one ki weaker than his, while the other four were stronger than his current power!

"Damn it, it's the Ginyu Force!"

Only then did Vegeta realize the gravity of the situation.
