At this moment, Son Goku knew that even in this form, he was no match for Vegeta's Ultra Ego. His Ultra Instinct was imperfect, and he could not yet achieve perfect evasion through complete control of his power.
Vegeta wore a smile at this time: "It seems, Kakarot, that the level of Ultra Instinct you have mastered is no match for my Ultra Ego! Hahaha."
Sweat dripped down Son Goku's face. He had not expected Vegeta to have improved so much, but Son Goku would not give up.
He tore off his shirt and said to Vegeta: "Then I will use my full power as well, Vegeta."
A sacred, deep blue aura suddenly surged from Son Goku's body. This power fused perfectly with the Ultra Instinct he possessed, though Son Goku's stamina was still holding up for now.
Just like that, Ultra Deep Blue Son Goku, with his deep blue hair, made his entrance! Ye Ming and Whis stood with their mouths agape, watching this scene in utter astonishment!
Whis smiled and said: "It seems his transformation was deeply inspired by the battle between you and AF Son Goku. Son Goku's strength has indeed improved quite a bit; the outcome of this battle is likely hard to predict."
"I don't think so. After all, if Son Goku can do it, then Vegeta certainly won't fall behind!" Ye Ming said with a smile.
Whis was also taken aback for a moment, and he understood the meaning behind Ye Ming's words: "It seems the probability of Vegeta winning this battle is very high!"
"There is no doubt that Vegeta will achieve the final victory in this battle, but I think the process of their fight is the most spectacular part. After all, these two are both comrades and rivals in their relationship!" Ye Ming glanced at Whis and said.
Returning to the battlefield, Vegeta looked at the transformed Son Goku and felt slightly surprised: "Kakarot, you really did complete the fusion of your own forms, just like Ye Ming!"
Son Goku responded with a smile: "Vegeta, aren't you the same? Come on, bring out your full power, and let us have our final showdown!"
"As you wish, Kakarot," Vegeta said arrogantly.
As they spoke, a deep blue aura erupted from Vegeta's body, barely differing from the aura exploding from Son Goku. After a clash of purple and deep blue power, Vegeta appeared before everyone. Part of his hair was blue, and part was purple; the aura on his body was much stronger than before!
This was Vegeta's Ultra Ego Deep Blue Form. The purple energy and deep blue energy on Vegeta's body intertwined, and his expression was even more ferocious and sinister than before.
Vegeta tilted his head and said: "Let us continue, Kakarot. I will beat you down ruthlessly; I am the pride of the Prince of all Saiyans!"
Just like that, the battle began. Son Goku circled behind Vegeta, but Vegeta had anticipated this; he grabbed Son Goku's hand with a backhand motion and threw him to the ground with a swing.
Son Goku immediately stood up and leaped, but by this time, Vegeta had already condensed a ball of Hakai Energy and was flying toward Son Goku.
Seeing this, Son Goku did not dodge; he took the Hakai Energy head-on. His hands were covered in the aura of Ultra Instinct, and with a loud shout, Son Goku cried: "Disperse!"
Son Goku gradually compressed the Hakai Energy, and amidst a brilliant flash of light, it vanished into nothingness.
Vegeta looked at Son Goku on the ground, grinned, and immediately dove to attack Kakarot!
Vegeta transformed into a streak of purple-blue lightning, slamming toward Son Goku's face, but Son Goku revealed a smile of a plan succeeding as he vanished from his spot.
Vegeta felt slightly surprised; he sensed Son Goku appearing to his left and was about to counterattack.
Suddenly, a massive light appeared where Son Goku had been standing; it was clearly an attack Son Goku had set up just moments ago.
BOOM!!! A mushroom cloud soared into the sky.
Son Goku looked at Vegeta in the smoke and dust, his brows furrowing slightly. A faint voice rang out: "Kakarot, is this all the petty tricks you have?"
Hearing this, Son Goku hurriedly flashed away to put distance between himself and the massive crater.
But the next second, Vegeta appeared behind Son Goku. Blue and purple lightning flashed across his pupils as he punched Son Goku in the waist. Son Goku spat out bitter bile, leaving a deep fissure in the ground.
His Ultra Instinct had triggered an automatic warning, but his reaction had been a beat too slow; his body hadn't fully responded in time.
Vegeta said proudly to Son Goku: "It seems I am about to win this bout, Kakarot. I look forward to us sparring again once you have perfected your Ultra Instinct."
Son Goku grinned; although Vegeta's punch had been painful, he said: "Vegeta, I haven't admitted defeat yet, at least not for now."
As Son Goku finished speaking, the energy on his body erupted once more, and he roared: "Kaioken!"
A terrifying power continued to explode from Son Goku, and the red steam dyed the entire Universe 7 God of Destruction Realm a faint crimson!
Vegeta's brows furrowed as well; he knew Son Goku was about to use his ultimate technique, the Kaioken! However, he knew Son Goku's stamina could not hold out for long, and he had to end this quickly.
Vegeta immediately turned into a streak of lightning and charged at Son Goku, while Son Goku also shouted immediately: "Kaioken 30x! Yaa..."
Son Goku did not show weakness and clashed head-on with Vegeta. Just like that, a purple-blue figure and a red-blue figure continued to grapple in the sky.
Whis and Ye Ming watched every moment of their battle.
The figures of Son Goku and Vegeta crossed paths repeatedly in the sky. Son Goku suddenly found an opening in Vegeta's defense and tried to land a punch, but Vegeta hurriedly blocked it with his hand.
But how could Son Goku let Vegeta have his way at this moment? He instantly raised his aura again, using the 50x Kaioken. At this moment, his power had reached its limit.
Vegeta had not expected Kakarot to still be holding back this move. He was struck in the abdomen by a punch, and Son Goku slammed him hard into the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.
Son Goku knew this was the moment to defeat Vegeta. He instantly condensed a Kamehameha in his hands, pouring all his remaining aura into this single strike.
Vegeta opened his eyes on the ground; he had already realized Son Goku wanted to decide the outcome with this move. Vegeta stood up and grinned: "Then I shall grant your wish, Kakarot."
Veins bulged on Vegeta's forehead instantly as he condensed a Final Flash in his hands, only this time, he had added Hakai Energy to the Final Flash! Its power was far greater than before.
Vegeta roared, the blue and purple light on his body surging to the limit. At this moment, he had finished condensing the Final Flash, and he said to Son Goku: "Kakarot! Take this!"
Son Goku did not show weakness and launched his counterattack. Soon, the two powerful energies collided! The God of Destruction Realm trembled incessantly under the immense pressure, and Whis waved his staff, reinforcing the barrier once more.
They knew that a winner would be decided soon. Vegeta said to Kakarot: "Kakarot, I have won this time; you have no stamina left."
As they spoke, Vegeta erupted with his power once more, pushing himself to the limit as the Final Flash in his hands rose to another level.
Soon, Son Goku could no longer hold on. His power was consumed rapidly, and Vegeta's Final Flash surged toward him.
Ye Ming also sensed the situation. He instantly appeared beside Son Goku, supporting him with one hand, and transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, condensing energy in his hand to completely neutralize Vegeta's power.
Had AF Son Goku taken that blow just now, he likely would have been severely injured; fortunately, Ye Ming intervened in time. It seems Vegeta's decisive nature has not changed in the slightest!
At this moment, AF Son Goku was already lying weakly on the ground, while Vegeta, also panting heavily, flew to Ye Ming's side.
The events of just a moment ago were still vivid in his mind, yet Vegeta had never intended to kill Kakarot; however, he had to admit that he had indeed used too much force.
AF Son Goku lay on the ground and said weakly to Vegeta, "You won, Vegeta. You're truly impressive!"
"I don't need your praise, Kakarot. Let us decide the victor another time; consider this a reminder from me," Vegeta said, holding his head high.
"Right, right. Once I perfect Ultra Instinct, let's have another match!" AF Son Goku said, squinting his eyes.
Vegeta let out a cold snort and said nothing, though deep down, he was quite willing.
Ye Ming also smiled and said, "It seems you have both made great progress recently. Once we finish dealing with current matters, I will teach you the method to transform into Super Saiyan 4. Your current strength is sufficient to fully master it."
Upon hearing that Ye Ming was going to teach them the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, Vegeta and AF Son Goku felt a surge of excitement.
Vegeta's heart also yearned to possess a transformation that could sublimate his bloodline; ever since he saw AF Son Goku transform into Super Saiyan 5, his heart had been anything but calm.
