AF Son Goku Makes His Entrance!

Ye Ming turned to Vegeta and said, "Vegeta, the Son Goku over there is strong. Be extra careful."

Vegeta frowned deeply. "I know. Even if I can't beat him, I won't give up. After all, that's Kakarot over there. Hmph!"

Hearing this, Son Goku scratched his head awkwardly. He knew Vegeta had always wanted to defeat him, and it was clear that the Son Goku from the other universe was a worthy opponent.

But that Son Goku wasn't from their universe, so Vegeta could only do his best.

Just then, Vegeta looked toward AF Son Goku in the opposite stands. AF Son Goku sensed Vegeta watching him, and smiled as he looked back at Vegeta from Universe 7, giving him a slight nod.

At that moment, AF Son Goku thought, Vegeta in this timeline is just like the Vegeta from our timeline. He's always ready to fight me.

AF Son Goku recalled the time he'd spent with Vegeta in that other timeline. A trace of sorrow passed through his heart. It had all vanished without a trace.

Vados noticed that something was wrong with Son Goku and hurried to comfort him. "Mr. Goku, I know it must be hard to look at all those familiar faces from Universe 7. But I hope you'll pull yourself together. Only by growing stronger can you uncover the truth."

AF Son Goku looked at Vados and nodded. "I understand!"

The break soon came to an end.

The referee came to the center of the arena. The ring had been completely repaired, and he announced loudly, "The fifth match begins now! Both fighters, please enter the ring."

Hearing this, AF Son Goku rose from his seat in the stands of Universe 6, his powerful aura spreading out.

He teleported to the center of the ring. Beerus looked at Son Goku across from him and couldn't help feeling a little worried for Vegeta.

Beerus said seriously to Vegeta, "No matter what, show them the spirit of Universe 7. Do you hear me, Vegeta?"

Vegeta didn't respond. He silently flew down into the ring and faced AF Son Goku.

Then Vegeta said, "No matter which timeline you come from, Kakarot, I'll beat you to a pulp. Hmph!"

For a moment, AF Son Goku was reminded of what Vegeta used to say before they fought. But there was no going back. The memories of the past were bittersweet.

Son Goku smiled. "Hello, Vegeta from this timeline. I'll spare you the small talk. Come on, let me see what you can do."

Vegeta scoffed. "Tch."

"Kakarot, I've been waiting a long time for this fight."

Clearly, no matter which timeline Kakarot came from, Vegeta was eager to fight Son Goku.

After speaking, Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan Blue. When he saw that Son Goku across from him hadn't moved an inch, Vegeta felt as though he was being looked down on again.

Vegeta snapped, "Kakarot, you're not even going to transform when you're facing me?"

AF Son Goku didn't answer. He just waved at Vegeta, inviting him to attack.

That gesture was enough to infuriate Vegeta. He roared, "Kakarot, take this!"

Vegeta swung a fist at AF Son Goku, but just before it could connect, Son Goku dodged it with ease.

AF Son Goku's movements were incredibly light, as though he could see right through every one of Vegeta's attacks.

Vegeta roared, "Again!"

Vegeta seemed to be fighting at full strength as he unleashed a barrage of blows against AF Son Goku. Clearly, AF Son Goku was struggling a little. In his base form, his reaction speed was inferior to Vegeta's in Super Saiyan Blue.

AF Son Goku only wanted to test the results of his training over the past few months and see if his combat power had improved.

Suddenly, Vegeta landed a blow on AF Son Goku's face, sending him flying. Vegeta followed up with a Big Bang Attack.

When the smoke cleared, Vegeta looked sharply toward his opponent. AF Son Goku had transformed into Super Saiyan Second Stage.

AF Son Goku said, "Vegeta, it's my turn now."

As soon as he finished speaking, AF Son Goku charged at Vegeta at incredible speed!

Vegeta snorted and chose to meet him head-on. At last, this felt like a proper fight to him.

They moved across the arena at high speed, trading blows. Suddenly, AF Son Goku grabbed Vegeta by the foot and slammed him into the ring, then pounded him with a flurry of attacks.

Vegeta was forced to defend against the powerful blows. Suddenly, he kicked AF Son Goku away and got back to his feet. Then he flew into the sky, preparing to use Prince Tactics.

A flash of blue light surrounded Vegeta. He raised his aura and unleashed a barrage of blasts toward AF Son Goku's position.

Vegeta spread his hands and gathered his energy. His ki had reached its limit.

In the stands of Universe 7, Son Goku couldn't help marveling at how high Vegeta had raised his power in Super Saiyan Blue.

Vegeta used Final Flash. Beerus shouted, "Vegeta, blast Son Goku with everything you've got! Show him what you're made of!"

Vegeta shouted, "Final Flash!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying beam burst from Vegeta's hands and shot toward AF Son Goku at tremendous speed.

AF Son Goku knew Vegeta's fighting style inside out. After all, they'd spent so long together in that other timeline. If he didn't know this much about him, he wouldn't know what to say.

But AF Son Goku didn't try to fight back. He simply stood where he was and waited for Vegeta's attack to hit.

Seeing that AF Son Goku wasn't defending himself, Champa turned to Vados and asked, "Son Goku isn't blocking. He'll be fine, right?"

Vados replied, "Lord Champa, please stay calm. An attack of this strength won't do Son Goku any harm. We just need to sit back and watch."

Champa nodded at Vados's words and said nothing more.

Clearly, all eyes were on the moment Vegeta's attack was about to hit AF Son Goku!

"Kakarot, accept this gift from me! Hahaha!" Vegeta laughed wildly.

A flash of light swept across the ring, and it was instantly engulfed in smoke. A terrifying shockwave spread out, making even the barrier tremble.

Vegeta landed in the ring and burst out laughing as he looked at the spot where Son Goku had been hit. "Kakarot, that's what you get for underestimating me! You're still going to be beaten by me—"

Before he could finish, Vegeta suddenly felt his throat tighten. Son Goku was standing in front of him, holding an energy sphere in one hand.

Vegeta froze at the sight before him, unable to believe what he was seeing!

In the stands of Universe 7, Whis said seriously, "That Son Goku from another timeline is incredibly strong. Vegeta is completely outmatched. His speed, reflexes, and control over his ki are all superior to Vegeta's."

Ye Ming nodded in agreement. "That Son Goku from another timeline really is formidable. He hasn't even shown his full strength yet. You could say he's just playing around with Vegeta."

Beerus looked grave. He glanced at Son Goku below the ring, then at Ye Ming. He knew there was no point in saying more. All he could do was count on Ye Ming.

Back in the ring, AF Son Goku had Vegeta by the throat. Vegeta could hardly believe that there was such a huge gap between his abilities and Kakarot's.

AF Son Goku held the energy sphere against Vegeta's abdomen. By now, Son Goku had transformed into Super Saiyan Third Stage.

"Goodbye, Vegeta. I'm sorry," AF Son Goku said.

Boom!!!

A powerful energy sphere exploded against Vegeta's abdomen, blasting him away.

At the last moment, Vegeta landed at the edge of the ring. He was badly injured and had reverted to his base form.

Vegeta clutched his abdomen and staggered to his feet. His abdominal armor had been completely blasted apart, and his injuries were clearly visible.

"Damn it," Vegeta panted.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Vegeta roared at AF Son Goku, "I'll make you pay for this, Kakarot!"

With that, Vegeta unleashed a powerful surge of Hakai Energy in his fury and transformed into Hakai Form.

AF Son Goku looked at Vegeta, who wore a defiant expression, and smiled. "So you're finally showing your true strength, Vegeta."

In the stands of Universe 7, Ye Ming watched AF Son Goku with a deeply furrowed brow.

Ye Ming asked the system, "System, which parallel timeline is this Son Goku from?"

The system replied, "Host, this Son Goku is from the Dragon Ball AF timeline. There are countless timelines, and he's from one of them."

Hearing that the other Son Goku came from the Dragon Ball AF timeline, Ye Ming wasn't surprised anymore. No wonder he was so strong.

Back in the ring, AF Son Goku said calmly to Vegeta, "Impressive, Vegeta! You mastered Hakai Energy so quickly."

Vegeta snorted and didn't answer. He just stared coldly at AF Son Goku.

"Then let me show you what I can do. I'm glad to see you again, Vegeta, but things can never go back to how they were," AF Son Goku said.

From those words, Vegeta could hear AF Son Goku's determination to become stronger, along with the sorrow in his heart.

He knew that the Kakarot standing before him was very different from the Kakarot in their universe. This Kakarot was both familiar and strange.

But Vegeta felt no sympathy for him. He said sternly, "Come on, Kakarot. Let me see what you can do!"

AF Son Goku clenched both fists beside his waist and instantly powered up. Son Goku roared, "Aaaaah!!"

The overwhelming pressure made the people of Universe 6 tremble. Even the Angel's barrier was on the verge of breaking.

Whis and Vados sensed the danger and hurried to the edge of the ring, reinforcing the barrier with their staffs.

But AF Son Goku's transformation continued. Beerus's expression changed when he saw this power. It was already no weaker than Ye Ming's full-power Super Saiyan 4.

Ye Ming also knew how strong AF Son Goku was now. Son Goku from Dragon Ball AF? He really is powerful. But he's surely holding a lot back.

Soon, amidst AF Son Goku's roars, his transformation was complete. His transformed appearance was unlike the usual Super Saiyan 4.

His hair was still black, but his fur wasn't red. Instead, it was a pale blue.

AF Son Goku descended like a god. He said calmly to Vegeta, "This is Perfect Super Saiyan 4."

Son Goku and Beerus were both taken aback. Son Goku turned to Ye Ming and asked, "Ye Ming, do you know about Perfect Super Saiyan 4? Can you transform into it?"

Beerus saw that this transformation was also somewhat different from Ye Ming's, and gave him an inquisitive look.

Ye Ming shook his head. "Their universe developed differently from ours. They may have unique transformation methods and techniques that we don't know about."

His own Super Saiyan 4 had reached a perfected state during his training, because he had once watched fan-made anime.

Ye Ming's perfected Super Saiyan 4 form had pink hair, but its fur was still red.

Seeing this, everyone stopped asking questions. After all, Ye Ming didn't seem particularly surprised either.

Vegeta could now feel the terrifying power of AF Son Goku. He grinned. "Kakarot, let's keep going."

AF Son Goku smiled. "Come on, Vegeta. Let's finish the fight we started!"

Everyone in the stands watched the match with bated breath. They knew this battle was going to be spectacular.

A heavy, oppressive aura spread across the ring. AF Son Goku stared at Vegeta, and Vegeta stared back at AF Son Goku.

And so, Hakai Form Vegeta was about to face off against AF Son Goku in Perfect Super Saiyan 4.
