AF Son Goku's Formidable Strength

On the arena, Vegeta in his Hakai Form stared at AF Son Goku in his Perfect Super Saiyan 4 state.

The arena began to tremble involuntarily, and a formidable pressure spread between them.

Vegeta spoke up: "Kakarot, I will definitely defeat you."

With that, Vegeta lunged toward AF Son Goku, instantly transforming into a streak of purple lightning; he was incredibly fast, appearing behind AF Son Goku in a heartbeat.

At that very moment, Son Goku merely extended his right hand with indifference, and Vegeta's fist landed right against his palm; AF Son Goku did not even spare Vegeta a direct glance.

Suddenly, Vegeta's attack speed accelerated, and a storm of blows rained down upon AF Son Goku, who held his hands against his chest and retreated continuously.

Suddenly, Vegeta struck AF Son Goku directly with Hakai Energy, and a terrifying explosion of energy rippled outward.

As the dust settled, Son Goku remained in a defensive stance, unmoved; Vegeta clearly sensed that the previous attack had not caused any effective damage to AF Son Goku.

Vegeta let out a cold snort and expanded his Hakai Energy aura further, his purple pupils revealing his wild and domineering nature.

AF Son Goku walked toward Vegeta step by step, meeting the pressure head-on, until with a whoosh, AF Son Goku appeared behind Vegeta.

His speed was immense, like a lingering shadow, and he delivered a hand-blade strike toward Vegeta's neck.

Vegeta was caught completely off guard; he had not anticipated such speed and his reaction was a beat too slow.

He could only turn and block with both hands, but bang! Vegeta was sent flying like an arrow released from a bow, crashing into the arena and leaving a large crater.

Vegeta stood up, feeling his numb arms, and lamented: That strike really packed a punch!

Immediately after, AF Son Goku appeared behind Vegeta like a ghost, and Vegeta clearly had not reacted in time: "What?"

Beerus, watching from the stands, saw AF Son Goku's incredible speed and widened his eyes; he had not felt this kind of power for a long time, not since his battle with Ye Ming.

AF Son Goku sent Vegeta flying into the air with a single punch; Vegeta spat out a mouthful of bile, his expression grave as he glanced sideways to see the Son Goku below vanish once more.

The next moment, AF Son Goku's fist appeared before Vegeta, who was forced to block with both hands, only to be smashed heavily back onto the arena floor.

Vegeta stood up immediately; clearly, Vegeta in his Hakai Form was incredibly resilient, though scars had begun to appear on his face.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand and muttered to himself: "Damn it, Kakarot's speed is too fast; I can't track his attack trajectory at all."

AF Son Goku stood with his arms crossed, looking down at Vegeta, which caused veins to bulge on Vegeta's forehead as he shouted: "You bastard."

With that, he erupted with energy and launched an attack at AF Son Goku in the sky; Vegeta condensed Hakai Energy in his left hand and threw a punch with his right, moving with blinding speed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Vegeta's attack was about to land, AF Son Goku's hands shot out, grabbing both Vegeta's left hand—charged with Hakai Energy—and his right fist.

At this point, Vegeta was thoroughly enraged; the Hakai Energy in his left hand intensified, and his right hand remained locked in a stalemate with AF Son Goku.

Vegeta glared at AF Son Goku with a vicious expression, but AF Son Goku merely offered a faint smile.

In the next instant, AF Son Goku suddenly began to contest the Hakai Energy; he attempted to push the energy directly back toward Vegeta—a pure test of strength.

Vegeta's expression grew grave as he realized AF Son Goku's intent, but he grinned nonetheless, choosing to meet AF Son Goku head-on.

Just like that, AF Son Goku and Vegeta roared, their power levels continuously rising; the Hakai Energy on Vegeta's body swirled wildly, and his purple energy aura soared into the sky.

Son Goku also unleashed his energy, a flash of golden light revealing his astonishing muscles; the sheer power of his mortal aura left everyone in the stands shocked—this strength felt as if it could shatter everything before it.

The Hakai Energy between their left hands began to fuse and expand between the two forces, while simultaneously being compressed.

Vegeta was now using his full power, while AF Son Goku offered a mysterious smile toward him.

At this moment, Vegeta felt a surge of surprise; AF Son Goku had suddenly intensified his energy aura, and Vegeta could feel the Hakai Energy in his left hand slowly shifting toward him—he was losing the test of strength to AF Son Goku.

Vegeta could no longer endure it, veins bulging as he shouted: "Damn it!"

With a roar from AF Son Goku, the Hakai Energy shifted completely toward Vegeta; AF Son Goku had gained an overwhelming advantage in strength, rapidly forcing Vegeta down toward the arena while keeping Vegeta's right hand firmly pinned.

Vegeta roared with every ounce of his remaining strength: "Ah, Kakarot!"

Suddenly, the Hakai Energy shifted instantly from Vegeta's left hand toward Son Goku; Vegeta would never allow his own defeat.

With a thunderous roar, AF Son Goku erupted with energy once more, instantly slamming Vegeta's left hand—still charged with Hakai Energy—down into the arena. Bang!

Furthermore, the Hakai Energy was crushed to nothing under this immense physical force.

The spectators in the stands were stunned; Beerus stood up solemnly, his pupils constricted, while Son Goku watched the center of the arena with bated breath, his eyes filled with shock.

Ye Ming stood with his arms folded, staring unblinkingly at the arena, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

Vegeta has completely lost to AF Son Goku in a direct confrontation, Ye Ming thought. I have been observing AF Son Goku closely, and I've discovered that his strength is even greater than I imagined.

In Universe 6, Champa watched the scene with great delight, sticking his tongue out at Beerus: "Hahaha! Beerus, it won't be long before the Vegeta of your universe is defeated by the Son Goku of our universe."

Beerus gritted his teeth upon hearing this! He, too, was well aware of the strength of the Son Goku across from them.

Ye Ming spoke calmly at this moment: "Lord Beerus, this battle might be a challenge for Vegeta, but it is also an opportunity; after all, the potential of a Saiyan is limitless."

"It doesn't matter if he loses the match; the point is to gain something from this fight and improve himself, so that he may become stronger."

Whis looked at Ye Ming with appreciation and said: "Ye Ming is right; this battle is a challenge for Vegeta, but he may also reap great rewards from it."

"There is a gap in their strength, and at this point, the Son Goku across from us clearly hasn't shown his true power, so there is no point in obsessing over the win or loss of the match."

After hearing their words, Beerus clenched his fists, but then relaxed; he understood Vegeta, after all, Vegeta could be considered his student.

The scene shifted back to the arena, where Vegeta glared at the Son Goku before him, the purple light in his eyes growing more terrifying as his Hakai aura continued to surge.

Suddenly, AF Son Goku exerted force and kicked Vegeta away, appearing behind him in an instant to lock him in a chokehold.

Light radiated from the entire body of AF Son Goku, and a formidable wave of energy rippled outward from him.

AF Son Goku locked Vegeta in place, launching a barrage of attacks to strip him of his current combat power.

Vegeta's constant screams echoed as terrifying waves of energy relentlessly battered him.

After about a minute, Vegeta collapsed to the ground with vacant eyes, his Hakai Form completely dispelled.

Beerus of Universe 7 could no longer sit still; he moved to the edge of the stands, nearly unable to stop himself from intervening.

At that moment, Ye Ming flashed to Beerus's side and said, "Lord Beerus, please remain calm. If you interfere, we will lose this match."

"I believe Vegeta will not be defeated so easily. He possesses the pride of a Saiyan Prince within him; perhaps a miracle will occur."

Indeed, Vegeta was currently reflecting on the fragments of his past, suddenly recalling the events that transpired while training with Beerus.

However, Vegeta remained with his eyes closed, while AF Son Goku watched him with a calm expression.

Returning to the scene in Vegeta's mind: during a training session with Beerus, he had been beaten severely, but it was then that he had first grasped the True Meaning of Destruction.

Beerus had been very satisfied with him, remarking that he was material for a God of Destruction, and explaining that the skill of destruction could be a person, or it could be an energy.

The stronger your Heart of Destruction, the more powerful the energy you condense. As for how strong that power can truly be? You must constantly ask your own heart; when you cast everything aside, as if nothing else exists, your Hakai Energy will reach its absolute peak.

The words Beerus had once taught him surfaced in Vegeta's mind, and he suddenly snapped his eyes open. His pupils had turned purple once more, his gaze filled with intense resolve.

A terrifying surge of Hakai Energy erupted from Vegeta, several times stronger than before. Beerus, of course, knew exactly what had happened to Vegeta—it seemed he had truly abandoned everything for the sake of his pride!

Purple energy swirled around Vegeta, and a fierce aura of Hakai Energy burst forth; from a distance, Vegeta looked like a demon god.

The moment Vegeta awakened, AF Son Goku sensed that something was amiss and instantly put distance between himself and Vegeta.

He watched as Vegeta's terrifying momentum continued to rise, causing even AF Son Goku to turn serious.

He saw Vegeta smile and said, "Vegeta, you truly are yourself. Whether in the past or the present, you are both my rival and my friend."

"Is that so? Kakarot, I am truly honored!" Surrounded by Hakai Energy, Vegeta held a massive sphere of Hakai Energy in his left hand and began to walk slowly toward AF Son Goku.

Watching Vegeta's ever-expanding aura, AF Son Goku also became earnest.

"Kakarot, I truly thank you for helping me understand the Heart of Destruction. My power of destruction has been greatly enhanced."

"Kakarot, let me tell you this: whether you are a Kakarot from another timeline or the Kakarot of this universe, I will defeat you," Vegeta declared arrogantly.

Both Universe 6 and Universe 7 watched as the resurrected Vegeta displayed strength even greater than before.

Ye Ming revealed a faint smile, while Beerus wore an expression of gratification.

Son Goku sighed at this moment, saying, "That guy Vegeta has broken through his limits once again."

Champa's expression was sour; clearly, the Son Goku of his universe had just easily defeated Vegeta, yet now, Vegeta had risen again, stronger than before.

Seeing Vegeta surging with the aura of destruction below, Champa looked at AF Son Goku and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

For some reason, Champa grew confident and said to Vados, "Let this match last a little longer, don't you agree, Vados?"

"Oh my, it is rare for Lord Champa to finally see the light. Goku surely wants to play a bit longer. Even though Vegeta has taken a step forward in the power of destruction, that is all it is; he poses no threat to Goku at all," Vados said with a smile.

Champa was clearly pleased by Vados's words, and he began to act smug.

Beerus of Universe 7 felt very annoyed watching the arrogant display of Champa across from him.

Although Beerus saw that Vegeta had broken through his limits again, he knew that a gap still remained.

Though Beerus was a proud and haughty god who usually acted as if he didn't care, when it came to critical moments, he was deeply invested in the outcome.
