Vegeta won the third victory, and Universe 7 was overjoyed!

At this moment, Ye Ming stepped forward and said, "Vegeta, your Hakai Form is indeed powerful, but you have not yet mastered it perfectly. You must not let the Hakai Energy control you, or you will know nothing but slaughter."

Beerus nodded and said, "Vegeta, Ye Ming is right. Hakai Energy is dangerous. Although I was the one who taught it to you, you must be careful!"

At this, Vegeta said arrogantly, "Hakai Energy could control this prince? I feel that the path of a God of Destruction is perfectly suited for me, and I think your worries are unnecessary."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, simply hoping that Vegeta would be able to control that power.

Vegeta, having mastered the Hakai Form, was somewhat stronger than Son Goku, who was still trying to grasp Ultra Instinct but seemed to be missing a catalyst. Ye Ming knew where that catalyst lay.

However, Ye Ming felt uncertain; after all, since he had arrived in this timeline, the flow of time had deviated significantly.

Just then, a powerful aura erupted from the Nameless Planet, shocking everyone as they hurriedly looked up.

A flash of golden light streaked across the sky, crushing the very void of the universe. Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone's pupils constricted instantly.

"Son Goku!!!" Even Vegeta was shocked enough to call out his name.

Beerus widened his eyes, and Whis was equally astonished!

Ye Ming, however, remained calm, for when he had sensed that mysterious person spying on him earlier, he had caught a trace of that very aura.

He found it strange that this aura was so similar to Son Goku's, but he hadn't told Beerus and the others, as he remained deeply uncertain.

But upon seeing the newcomer, he roughly understood what had happened.

AF Son Goku descended onto the Universe 6 spectator stand. Champa stood up to welcome him, saying, "Oh, Goku, you've come just in time."

The warriors of Universe 6 also nodded at AF Son Goku; they knew this Son Goku came from another parallel timeline.

Beerus looked at the Universe 6 stand in shock, his mouth twitching: "Whis, what is this? Why is there a Son Goku in Universe 6?"

Before Whis could speak, Champa stood up and shouted, "Beerus, this Son Goku is from another parallel world. His original timeline was destroyed for certain reasons, so our universe took him in."

"AF Son Goku was sent out by the gods of his universe, and he relied on his own strength to traverse the void, eventually arriving in our universe by chance."

"Hehe, Beerus, how about that? Do you still think your universe has the victory in the bag?"

The members of Universe 7 listened to Champa's explanation and suddenly understood. So that was it.

At this moment, Son Goku said, "Yo, other me, hello. I am the Son Goku of this timeline."

AF Son Goku also politely replied to the Son Goku of this timeline: "Hello, me of this world. I am very happy to meet you."

Afterward, AF Son Goku shifted his gaze toward Vegeta, Son Gohan, Ye Ming, and Beerus's group.

AF Son Goku continued, "Ever since my universe perished, I have been training in this universe. Universe 6 has accepted me, so, as things stand, we are opponents!"

Ye Ming said, "Hello, Son Goku from another universe. I am also happy to meet you. Regardless of the reason, since you have joined Universe 6, I hope you integrate fully into it!"

"Hahaha, that is a given. Lord Champa and Vados have treated me with great care. Ye Ming, I know you are strong. I observed you carefully earlier, though I was discovered by you. I look forward to crossing blades with you!" Son Goku said generously.

At this, Beerus asked Ye Ming gravely, "Is that Son Goku from the other parallel timeline very strong? Ye Ming, are you confident you can handle him?"

"It is fine, Lord Beerus. Even though he is strong, I believe I am stronger," Ye Ming said confidently.

Whis added from the side, "Oh my, Lord Beerus, you should have full confidence in Ye Ming."

With that said, Beerus fell silent; he had no choice but to pin all his hopes on Ye Ming.

As a God of Destruction, he could not enter the arena himself, but he had felt the immense power of the Son Goku opposite them through the energy fluctuations.

Son Goku, seeing the immense strength of AF Son Goku, clenched his fists, feeling incredibly excited.

Vegeta said at this time, "Kakarot, you cannot defeat that Kakarot from the other universe. We have felt his power; it is simply unfathomable."

"I know, Vegeta. My training is not yet complete, but I am just excited to see another version of myself!" Son Goku said excitedly.

Vegeta snorted coldly and said nothing.

The referee announced, "Everyone, the fourth match is about to begin. Please have the contestants prepare."

Ignoring the encouragement from those behind him, Vegeta flew rapidly toward the ring.

Seeing that the opponent from Universe 6 was Hit, he curled his lip. He wanted to experience the power of the Time Skip, his expression full of arrogance.

Vegeta crossed his arms and said, "Hit the Assassin, is it? I have learned a thing or two about your Time Skip. If you surrender now, you might save yourself some physical pain."

Hit replied coldly, "Hmph, then let us see your strength. I hope your strength is as hard as your mouth."

Hearing this, Vegeta felt quite annoyed. He had already witnessed his strength before, yet he remained so arrogant; it seemed he needed to be taught a lesson.

The referee gave the order: "The match begins!" The referee then flashed away.

Hit was much stronger now than he had been in the original story; his Time Skip could reach 0.5 seconds, a truly exaggerated figure.

Vegeta put some distance between himself and Hit, instantly transforming into a Super Saiyan Blue before charging at him.

With a loud bang, Vegeta was struck in the waist and sent flying. He immediately stood up to counterattack, but soon, his strikes were parried one by one by Hit, who then countered with a strike of his own.

Damn it, the Time Skip is truly troublesome. But I just need to predict his movements before he attacks, Vegeta thought.

However, what Vegeta did not know was that Hit's Time Skip was no longer just 0.1 seconds; he had already mastered a 0.5-second Time Skip.

Hit said indifferently, "If you do not bring out that form, you will never be able to defeat me."

Upon hearing this, Vegeta said, "What?"

Before Vegeta could finish speaking, Hit activated his Time Skip, launching countless attacks at Vegeta within a mere 0.3 seconds.

Vegeta knew Hit had initiated an assault, but he had not expected the Time Skip to be this fast!

Vegeta managed to block only a fraction of the strikes, while the vast majority landed squarely on his body, instantly crushing his defenses.

Only then did he realize that Hit's Time Skip had improved drastically, far exceeding the 0.1-second mark!

Vegeta spat out blood, his Super Saiyan Blue form forced back into his base state, sweat streaming down his face.

On the Universe 6 spectator stand, Champa stood up and shouted at Beerus: "Beerus, do you see that? This is the power of the Time Skip. It's useless even if you've studied it before, hmph."

AF Son Goku also said happily: "During my previous encounter with Hit, I was surprised the first time too. He actually possesses the ability to manipulate time to an extent; the Time Skip is indeed formidable."

However, AF Son Goku's tone shifted: "But if the opponent's strength stands far higher than time itself, the Time Skip might just become ineffective."

The warriors of Universe 6 nodded in silence after hearing AF Son Goku's words.

Vados also spoke with a smile: "Son Goku is right. The Time Skip is merely a technique; it certainly has great potential, but to a master, such a skill appears quite mediocre."

This was because they, as Angels, mastered the majority of the laws of time and could easily see through the trajectory of Hit's movements.

Back on the battlefield, Vegeta stood up in a disheveled state, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.

Beerus of Universe 7 was very anxious, yet he did not panic, for he trusted in Vegeta's strength.

"Not bad, Hit. You've truly got some tricks up your sleeve; it seems your Time Skip has grown." Vegeta said.

"Hmph, are you not going to bring out your true ability yet? If this continues, you will be struck in your vitals repeatedly, and if you don't die, you will be severely wounded." Hit said indifferently.

Vegeta stood tall, clenching his fists as he replied: "Then I shall grant your wish, Hit!"

A surge of Destruction energy erupted from Vegeta, his pupils and hair gradually turning purple, and a powerful pressure of Destruction energy began to permeate the arena.

BOOM!!!

Ye Ming remarked: "It seems Vegeta has initially adapted to the Hakai Form since the last time he unleashed it, and he has even improved."

Seeing the figure of Vegeta opposite him, Hit's expression grew increasingly grave as he assumed a combat stance, for this power was on a completely different level than Super Saiyan Blue.

Vegeta wore that arrogant look once again: "Hmph, Hit, let this Prince show you what true strength is."

Suddenly, Vegeta transformed into a streak of purple lightning and charged at Hit. Hit had anticipated that Vegeta would be this fast.

Hit immediately launched a counter-attack, but unfortunately, his movements were now completely visible to Vegeta. Vegeta scoffed: "The height at which I stand now allows me to see much further than your time!"

Vegeta instantly located Hit, slamming a fist into his abdomen. Suddenly, Hit's figure flickered into view within the space, struck hard by Vegeta's punch.

The force of the blow was immense; Hit was sent flying over 100 meters, leaving a long trench in the arena floor.

Vegeta merely glanced at Hit with indifference, grinned, and continued his assault, giving Hit no chance to catch his breath.

On the stand, Son Goku watched Vegeta and thought: Vegeta is still as ferocious as ever, not giving his opponent a single opening!

Ye Ming looked at Son Goku and said: "Goku, you should learn from Vegeta. If you don't change that bad habit of yours, you will likely suffer for it sooner or later."

Son Goku scratched his head and said: "Ye Ming, you're right. It is a bad habit of mine, haha."

Whis stood by, covering his mouth with a smile as he said to Goku: "Every time you defeat a strong enemy, you become careless. It could very well be the moment the enemy launches a counter-attack. Besides, you love to test your opponents; you don't use your full strength at the start, and I don't need to say what happens later."

Beerus simply grinned, saying nothing, clearly in agreement with what Ye Ming and Whis had said.

Dust swirled across the arena as Vegeta unleashed a barrage of blows upon Hit.

Hit could no longer afford to hide his strength and utilized a 0.5-second Time Skip. He stored time instantly, freezing Vegeta in place, while his own body circled behind him.

Hit intended to deliver a fatal blow, but Vegeta subconsciously sensed something; he realized Hit's Time Skip had lengthened once again.

A sense of crisis flooded Vegeta's mind. Suddenly, he coated his entire body in Destruction energy and unleashed a burst of destructive power in all directions.

Hit had not expected Vegeta to use such a move and immediately retreated. At that moment, Hit's figure appeared from behind Vegeta.

Vegeta turned slowly: As this Prince expected, his Time Skip did indeed extend. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have truly been hit by that strike.

Vegeta now unleashed the full power of his current Hakai Form. After a surge of aura, his strength advanced even further.

In the distance, Hit resisted Vegeta's pressure, sweat dripping down his face as he thought: It seems I have no choice but to bring out my trump card; otherwise, I cannot defeat him.

On the Universe 6 stand, AF Son Goku noticed Hit's expression. It seemed he knew which technique Hit was about to use—one that had been used against him before, though it was easily neutralized due to the vast gap in their strength.

Back on the arena, Hit had stored up a significant amount of time during this interval, and Vegeta noticed Hit was contemplating a strategy.

However, Vegeta showed no panic, appearing quite calm instead; he wanted to see what move Hit would use to deal with him.

Hit assumed a combat stance. Suddenly, the Time Skip activated, and he appeared behind Vegeta, but Vegeta sensed it the next instant and swung a fist backward.

Hit dodged the punch and slammed a fist into Vegeta's chest, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

Vegeta flipped and stood up, smiling at Hit as he prepared to speak, but the next moment, he saw a fist-sized mark on his chest.

Suddenly, his body stiffened. He saw that Hit had actually used the Time Skip to restrain him, which took Vegeta by great surprise.

On the Universe 7 stand, Beerus saw this and instantly perked up his ears, saying to Whis: "Whis, what kind of move is this?"

Whis looked at Hit and said: "Hit the Assassin of Universe 6 is indeed not simple. He stored all his time to form a Time Cage, firmly restraining Vegeta. That punch he landed on Vegeta's body earlier must have served as a medium."

Ye Ming also expressed his agreement with Whis's assessment.

Ye Ming said: "I believe Vegeta can break this Time Cage. After all, I still recognize the pride of the Saiyan Prince."

On the arena, Vegeta watched his body, unable to move, his gaze suddenly turning grave as he looked at Hit opposite him.

Hit said to Vegeta, "This is my trump card, Vegeta. I will deliver a fatal blow to you. Trapped within this Time Cage, you cannot move. My remaining stamina is more than enough to defeat you."

Hearing this, Vegeta's eyes turned sharp, and Hit was startled by the intensity of that glare.

Vegeta said coldly, "I thought you had some impressive techniques up your sleeve, but is this all you have? This Prince is truly disappointed."

Before Hit could recover from his shock, Vegeta began to move his body slowly. Though sluggish, he was indeed moving, stepping toward Hit with a speed that gradually increased.

Champa of Universe 6 was stunned, leaning over the edge of the arena as he shouted, "What? He can move even in that? Hit, hurry and unleash a fatal blow on him, now!"

Hit gathered his final reserves of energy and launched an attack at Vegeta, knowing this was the best opportunity to secure a victory.

Vegeta watched as Hit gathered an energy sphere and charged at him. Just as Hit was about to strike, Vegeta grabbed Hit's arm.

Hit was utterly shocked. Everyone in Universe 6, save for AF Son Goku and Vados, watched in disbelief; they had never imagined such a thing was possible!

Vegeta spoke arrogantly to Hit, "If you think you can defeat this Vegeta with a trick like this, you'll be waiting until your next life."

As he spoke, Vegeta's Hakai Energy began to surge, the Time Cage around him flickering in and out of existence.

Hit knew he was on the verge of breaking the Time Cage's seal and had to defeat him immediately, so he poured more energy into his assault on Vegeta!

But at that moment, Vegeta let out a roar: "Do you really think something like this can take down this Vegeta?"

Vegeta's immense pride and arrogance were on full display; he refused to accept being defeated so easily.

Suddenly, a violent aura erupted from Vegeta, shattering the Time Cage completely and sending Hit flying back dozens of meters.

Hit crouched on the ground, looking at Vegeta. He knew there was no turning back; his final trump card had failed, which meant that as an assassin, he had lost completely.

Vegeta's purple energy surged wildly. In his Shirtless Form, his muscles were fully exposed. "Hmph, looks like you've reached the end of the road, Hit? Let me see you off."

Vegeta launched a massive Destruction Sphere at Hit, intending to blast him out of the arena in one strike.

Vegeta had sealed off all his escape routes, saturating the surroundings with Hakai Energy specifically to prevent Hit from using Time Skip.

BOOM!!!

A powerful wave of energy expanded outward; had it not been for the protective barrier cast by the Angel, the planet would have been pulverized long ago.

Hit let out a cry of pain as he was blasted out of the arena, losing consciousness.

Beerus shouted at this moment, "Vegeta, you were absolutely magnificent!"

Whis smiled and said, "Vegeta has now won two consecutive matches, Lord Beerus!"

Seeing Vegeta's victory, Son Goku was thrilled, waving his hands at him.

Vegeta on the arena didn't even acknowledge him; he cast a cold glance at Hit before returning to his own side.

The referee announced, "The fourth match, Vegeta wins! Universe 7 takes the victory in the fourth round."

Ye Ming said happily to Vegeta, "Well done, Vegeta!"

Although Vegeta maintained an arrogant expression on his face, he was secretly overjoyed; clearly, he was quite pleased with the praise.

At that moment, AF Son Goku stood up, and Ye Ming and the others felt it, turning their gazes toward him.

AF Son Goku said with a smile, "Impressive, Vegeta of Universe 7. You are just like the Vegeta from my timeline—still so decisive in battle."

AF Son Goku said this with genuine sincerity.

Vegeta merely snorted, offering no reply.

AF Son Goku just laughed it off; after all, Vegeta's temperament remained unchanged.

The next second, AF Son Goku said, "Everyone on our side except for me has been eliminated. Since I have become a part of Universe 6, I will fight for my universe."

"Then, I shall see you all on the battlefield!"

Champa was moved to the verge of tears upon hearing this, filled with confidence in Son Goku's strength.

He patted AF Son Goku on the shoulder and said, "Goku, I leave the rest to you. You must secure victory for our universe."

AF Son Goku nodded at Champa and the others.
