[ GT Timeline, Earth, Wilderness Battlefield]
This blue planet is no longer the peaceful and serene place it once was.
Instead, a scene of chaos, resembling the end of the world, unfolded.
In the sky, the originally white clouds were stained with an eerie blackish-purple color.
A colossal, black void, seemingly connecting to an abyss, hangs in the sky—the Hell Gate, the passage between Hell and the human world.
Countless undead, villains, and even emperors who once dominated the universe were destroyed by Son Goku and the Z Fighters in the past.
They all poured out of that hole and wreaked havoc across the world.
The city is burning, the earth is groaning.
Frieza and Cell, those two old nemesis, are being toyed with by Kid Goku in Hell.
( Piccolo didn't die, so he couldn't bring Goku back.)
Meanwhile, Nappa, the Ginyu Force, and other minor characters caused chaos in the city, but were intercepted by Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and others.
But these are not the main points.
The real battle takes place in the wilderness.
"Boom! B...
The earth trembled, and smoke and dust obscured the sun.
When Son Satoshi crossed time and space and silently appeared on a cliff, what came into view was a one-sided "fierce battle".
In the center of the battlefield.
A red figure was hovering in mid-air, surrounded by raging golden flames; it Vegeta, who had transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
At this time, he was not in good condition.
Although Super Saiyan 4 granted him a powerful physique and strength, he was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat, and his eyes filled with anger and confusion.
And opposite him.
A tall man with long black hair, wearing a trench coat and scarf, and with eyes as cold as ice, was looking at Vegeta with his arms crossed and a mocking expression.
Super 17.
"Da da da da da da!!!!"
Vegeta roared, his hands moving like machine guns as he unleashed a barrage of golden energy blasts at Super 17.
" Prince Tactics - Continuous Energy Bullets!"
A barrage of explosions erupted on Super 17, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the air.
However.
When the smoke cleared, the man was still standing there unharmed.
He didn't even try to dodge.
He simply opened his arms, palms facing forward, in a gesture of embracing.
Each energy blast Vegeta fired vanished mysteriously the moment it touched his body, like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
Not only did it not harm him, it actually made his aura even stronger.
"It's no use, Vegeta."
Super 17 sneered, even going so far as to tuck his long hair behind his ear in an extremely flamboyant manner.
"Your energy is my meal."
"Give me more, this isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap."
"Asshole!!!!"
Vegeta was thoroughly enraged by this contemptuous attitude.
"Stop looking down on me!!"
"Ultimate... Flash!!!!"
boom!!!
A massive, yellow beam of light, carrying enough power to destroy a planet, erupted from Vegeta's palm and hurtled straight toward Super 17.
However, the result remained the same.
Super 17 merely smiled slightly, and the device on his chest glowed faintly. The terrifying Final Flash was instantly swallowed up as if it had encountered a black hole.
"Belch..."
After absorbing this powerful attack, Super 17 even let out an extremely insulting burp and drooled.
"Damn it... damn it!!!"
Vegeta was trembling with rage, but he didn't stop. Instead, as if possessed, he continued to gather energy, preparing to launch the next round of bombardment.
Son Satoshi, standing on the cliff, watched this scene quietly.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"That's interesting."
As a transmigrator familiar with the plot, Son Satoshi naturally knew Super 17's characteristic—the ability to absorb energy indefinitely.
In the original anime, both Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta acted like "stubborn fools" when faced with this characteristic.
Even though it's been useless after all that effort, they still keep spamming bullets.
To viewers at the time, this was tantamount to a forced reduction in intelligence, a forced reduction of the Saiyan ' battle IQ to zero just for the sake of a plot twist.
But now, Son Satoshi, who is actually there, has seen through the clues.
"It's not that Vegeta has become stupid."
Son Satoshi activated his God's Eye, his gaze sharp and penetrating, instantly discerning every detail of the battlefield.
"But... he had no choice."
In the past few minutes, Son Satoshi clearly captured several moments.
Vegeta did attempt close-quarters combat.
Just moments before the Final Flash was absorbed, Vegeta used the momentary smoke and dust cover to perform an extremely high level of Instant Transmission, appearing behind Super 17.
Prepare to deliver a chop to the other person's neck.
That strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, completely at the top level of Super Saiyan 4.
but.
Just milliseconds before Vegeta's hand was about to touch Super 17's skin.
Super 17 has moved.
No, it's less about movement and more about "foresight".
He didn't even turn around; his body twisted at an extremely strange angle, like an eel, just barely avoiding Vegeta's attack.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his elbow back, striking Vegeta precisely in the abdomen and sending him flying.
"That reaction speed..."
Son Satoshi narrowed his eyes.
"It's not about seeing with your eyes, nor is it about sensing qi."
Super 17, the masterpiece of two brilliant scientists, Dr. Myuu and Dr. Gero, was implanted with a battle algorithm specifically designed to counter Saiyan.
His body seemed to be surrounded by an invisible " Perception Field ".
Any physical attack that enters this force field will cause a slight change in the airflow, which he can instantly detect and calculate the best evasion and counterattack route.
Faced with this force field, Vegeta's speed and fighting skills, which he was so proud of, seemed to be playing in slow motion.
Every time they get close, it's like handing over food.
Every punch thrown is instantly countered.
so.
Vegeta wasn't stupid; he was forced into it.
Since you can't hit them at close range and will only get countered, the only option is to keep your distance.
After creating distance, in addition to using large-scale energy bombs for a comprehensive bombardment, they attempted to use saturation attacks to push the opponent's absorption limit to its limit.
He had no choice but to either find a flaw in the opponent's absorption process or to exploit it.
This resulted in what viewers perceived as a foolish scene. "Knowing full well that the opponent is absorbing energy, yet still relentlessly releasing energy."
"Is this what they call... an open conspiracy?"
Son Satoshi sighed.
"By exploiting the inherent intractability of your own mechanisms, you force your opponent to choose the most foolish tactics, and then slowly wear them down."
"In addition..."
Son Satoshi glanced at Super 17's stiff yet efficient movements.
"That stance that allows for absorption and evasion with almost no dramatic movements... No wonder the animation team back then cut corners and only used projectiles throughout. Apparently, in the real world, this is called 'absolute defense'."
Although I understood the logic behind it, reality is harsh.
This " Prince Tactics " is destined to be futile.
