AF Son Goku Appears!

At this moment, Ye Ming said to Vegeta, "Vegeta, the Son Goku opposite is very strong; you must be extra careful."

Vegeta frowned and replied, "I know. Even if I cannot defeat him, I will not admit defeat. After all, the one opposite is Kakarot, hmph!"

Hearing this, the Son Goku standing nearby scratched his head in embarrassment. He knew that Vegeta had always wanted to defeat him, and clearly, the Son Goku opposite was a worthy target.

However, the Son Goku opposite was not the Son Goku of this universe, so Vegeta could only do his best.

At this time, Vegeta's gaze turned toward the AF Son Goku in the stands opposite. AF Son Goku sensed Vegeta looking at him; he looked back at the Universe 7 Vegeta with a smile and gave a slight nod.

At this moment, AF Son Goku thought to himself: The Vegeta of this timeline is just like the Vegeta from our original timeline, filled with fighting spirit toward me at every moment.

AF Son Goku recalled the bits and pieces of his time with Vegeta in that former timeline, and a trace of bitterness flowed through his heart; everything had turned to nothingness.

Vados noticed the change in Son Goku and quickly comforted him, "Mr. Goku, I know it is inevitably painful for you to look at those once-familiar people in Universe 7, but I hope you will pull yourself together. Only by becoming stronger can you seek the truth."

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

Soon, the rest period ended.

The referee arrived at the center of the arena, which had been completely repaired, and announced loudly, "The fifth match begins now. Will both contestants please take the stage."

Hearing this, AF Son Goku stood up from the Universe 6 stands, his powerful aura spreading outward.

He teleported to the center of the arena. Beerus of Universe 7 looked at the Son Goku opposite, feeling a bead of sweat for Vegeta in his heart.

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

Vegeta did not respond, simply flying silently down to the arena to stand opposite AF Son Goku.

At this moment, Vegeta said, "No matter which timeline you are Kakarot from, I will defeat you soundly, hmph!"

At this time, AF Son Goku felt as if he had returned to the days when he used to spar with that Vegeta, but everything was beyond return; the past was truly lamentable.

Son Goku smiled and said, "Hello, Vegeta of this timeline. I won't waste time with pleasantries. Come, let me see your power."

Vegeta let out a "Tch."

"Kakarot, I have waited a long time for this battle."

Clearly, no matter which timeline Kakarot was from, Vegeta held a fierce fighting spirit toward Son Goku.

Having said that, Vegeta transformed into his Super Saiyan Blue form. Seeing the Son Goku opposite standing motionless, Vegeta felt looked down upon once again.

Vegeta said angrily, "Kakarot, you aren't even going to transform when facing this prince?"

AF Son Goku clearly did not speak, instead waving his hand at Vegeta to signal him to attack.

Seeing this gesture, Vegeta was clearly enraged. Vegeta roared, "Kakarot, take this!"

Vegeta threw a punch at AF Son Goku, but just as it was about to land, it was easily dodged by Son Goku.

AF Son Goku's movement was extremely light, as if he had seen through all of Vegeta's attacks.

Vegeta roared, "Again!"

Vegeta seemed to use his full strength, unleashing a flurry of blows upon AF Son Goku. Clearly, AF Son Goku was struggling a bit; after all, in his base form, his reaction speed was not equal to Vegeta's in Super Saiyan Blue.

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

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

After the dust settled, Vegeta looked at his opponent with sharp eyes; AF Son Goku had transformed into the Super Saiyan Second Stage.

AF Son Goku said at this moment, "Vegeta, it is my turn now."

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

Vegeta snorted coldly, choosing to meet AF Son Goku head-on. Vegeta felt that this was the way a battle should feel.

They moved at high speeds across the arena, trading blows. Suddenly, AF Son Goku grabbed Vegeta's leg and slammed him hard into the arena, then unleashed a barrage of fierce strikes.

Forced into defense by this powerful assault, Vegeta suddenly kicked AF Son Goku away and stood up. He flew into the sky, preparing to use his Prince Tactics.

A flash of blue light surged as Vegeta raised his aura, unleashing a bombardment of energy blasts toward AF Son Goku's position.

Vegeta spread his hands, condensing his energy; the concentration of his aura had reached his absolute limit.

In the Universe 7 stands, Son Goku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise that Vegeta could raise his aura to this level in Super Saiyan Blue.

Vegeta unleashed his Final Flash. Beerus shouted, "Vegeta, throw it at Son Goku with everything you've got, show him what you're made of!"

Only Vegeta's voice was heard, "Final Flash!"

BOOM!!!

A terrifying beam of light erupted from Vegeta's hands, rushing toward AF Son Goku's location at breakneck speed.

AF Son Goku understood Vegeta's combat style very well; after all, he had spent so much time with him in that other timeline that he would be a fool not to know this much.

However, AF Son Goku chose not to counterattack, standing silently in place, waiting for Vegeta's attack to descend.

Seeing AF Son Goku not resisting, Champa said to Vados, "Son Goku isn't defending himself, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Vados said to Champa, "Please stay calm, Lord Champa. An attack of this magnitude is harmless to Son Goku; we only need to sit here and watch."

Hearing Vados's words, Champa nodded and said no more.

Clearly, the focus of the entire arena was on the strike Vegeta was about to land on AF Son Goku!

"Kakarot, accept the gift I have for you, haha!" Vegeta said with a wild laugh.

A flash of light erupted, and the arena was instantly engulfed in smoke and dust. A terrifying shockwave swept outward, causing even the protective barrier to tremble.

Vegeta landed on the arena floor, looking at the spot where he had struck Son Goku, and laughed heartily: "Kakarot, this is the price for underestimating me. You are still no match for this..."

Before Vegeta could finish his sentence, he felt his throat suddenly constricted; Son Goku had appeared right in front of him, cradling an energy sphere.

Vegeta stared at the scene before him, his body frozen stiff, completely unable to believe it!

In the Universe 7 spectator stands, Whis said earnestly: "The strength of that Son Goku from another timeline is too great. Vegeta is completely outmatched; his speed, reaction time, and control over his ki are all superior to Vegeta's."

Ye Ming nodded in agreement: "That Son Goku from the other timeline is indeed formidable. He hasn't even shown his true level yet; you could say he's just playing house with Vegeta."

Beerus was also extremely grave. He looked at Son Goku on the arena floor, then back at Ye Ming. He knew that saying anything more was useless; he could only rely on Ye Ming.

Back on the arena, AF Son Goku had already seized Vegeta by the throat. Vegeta found it hard to believe that there was such a massive gap between his level and Kakarot's.

AF Son Goku aimed the energy sphere at Vegeta's abdomen. At this moment, Son Goku had already transformed into a Super Saiyan Third Stage.

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

BOOM!!!

A powerful energy sphere detonated against Vegeta's abdomen, sending him flying back from the force of the blast.

At the very last second, Vegeta landed on the edge of the arena. He had sustained heavy injuries and reverted to his base form.

Clutching his stomach, Vegeta stumbled to his feet. The armor on his abdomen had been completely shattered, and the wounds on his torso were clearly visible.

"Damn you," Vegeta said, gasping for air.

As his voice trailed off, Vegeta roared at AF Son Goku: "I will make you pay, Kakarot!"

No sooner had he spoken than Vegeta, fueled by rage, erupted with intense Hakai Energy, instantly transforming into his Hakai Form.

AF Son Goku looked at the defiant Vegeta across from him and wore a smile: "Finally showing your true ability? Vegeta."

In the Universe 7 spectator stands, Ye Ming frowned as he watched AF Son Goku.

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. However, there are countless timelines, and he is from one of them."

Hearing that the Son Goku across from him was from the Dragon Ball AF timeline, it was no longer a surprise; it was no wonder he possessed such strength.

Back on the arena, AF Son Goku said calmly to Vegeta: "Impressive! Vegeta, to think you've mastered Hakai Energy so quickly."

With a cold snort, Vegeta didn't answer, merely staring coldly at AF Son Goku.

"Then, let me show you my strength. I am very happy to see you again, Vegeta, but the person I used to be can never go back," AF Son Goku said.

From these words, Vegeta sensed AF Son Goku's determination to grow stronger and the sorrow hidden within his heart.

He knew that the Kakarot before him was vastly different from the Kakarot of their own universe; this Kakarot was both familiar and like a stranger.

Knowing this, Vegeta felt no pity for him and said sternly: "Come, Kakarot, let me see your strength!"

AF Son Goku clenched his fists at his sides and instantly flared his ki, roaring: "AAAAHHH!!!"

The entire Universe 6 trembled under this immense pressure, and the Angel's protective barrier neared the point of shattering.

Whis and Vados sensed the danger and rushed to the side of the arena, using their staffs to reinforce the strength of the barrier.

However, AF Son Goku's transformation continued. Beerus's expression changed upon seeing this power; it was already on par with Ye Ming's full-power Super Saiyan 4.

Ye Ming also understood AF Son Goku's strength at this moment, thinking to himself: Son Goku from Dragon Ball AF? His strength is truly immense, though it should go far beyond even this.

Soon, amidst a final roar from AF Son Goku, he completed his transformation. This transformation was different from the usual Super Saiyan 4.

Although his hair remained black, his fur was not red, but rather a pale blue color.

Having completed the transformation, AF Son Goku descended like a heavenly deity. He said calmly to Vegeta: "This is Perfect Super Saiyan 4."

At this moment, even Son Goku and Beerus were unsettled. Son Goku asked Ye Ming: "Ye Ming, do you know about Perfect Super Saiyan 4? Can you transform into it?"

Beerus, seeing that this transformation was also slightly different from Ye Ming's, cast an inquisitive look his way.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "The development of their universe and timeline is different from ours. They may have unique transformation methods and techniques that we are unaware of."

His own Super Saiyan 4 had reached a perfect state during his training, as he had once seen fan-made anime.

Ye Ming's perfect form of Super Saiyan 4 had pink hair, but the fur remained red.

Seeing this, the others stopped asking questions; after all, Ye Ming didn't seem particularly surprised.

At this moment, Vegeta also felt the terrifying power of the AF Son Goku across from him and grinned: "Kakarot, let's continue."

AF Son Goku smiled and said: "Come, Vegeta, let us continue our unfinished battle!"

The spectators in the stands held their breath, watching this fight. They knew this duel would be spectacular.

A thick, oppressive atmosphere spread across the arena. AF Son Goku stared intently at Vegeta, and Vegeta stared back at AF Son Goku.

And so, Vegeta in his Hakai Form was about to engage in a decisive battle against AF Son Goku in his Perfect Super Saiyan 4 form.
