Dragon Ball, Saiyans Don't Just Want to Get Stronger!

"After all, having lived for such a long time, I still have a few tricks tucked away in my sleeve. Come on, kid, follow me."

Led by Old Supreme Kai, Vitelli arrived at a cliff with a magnificent view overlooking a vast plain.

The breeze here was gentle, the air filled with the scent of birds and flowers, and the atmosphere was pure and peaceful—truly a perfect place for focused cultivation.

"Sit down, relax your mind, and try to enter that state of yours, 'Ultra Instinct.' But don't go too deep; just maintain a faint, lingering sense of connection," Old Supreme Kai instructed.

Vitelli sat cross-legged as told, slowly closing his eyes. He struggled to empty his thoughts, sinking his consciousness into his body to capture that feeling of instinct transcending thought.

Gradually, a brilliant silver-white radiance began to emanate from within him, and the tips of his hair were slowly tinged with silver frost—

He had successfully entered the state of "Ultra Instinct Sign," but instead of immersing himself fully, he maintained only the external manifestation.

Old Supreme Kai watched closely from the side, nodding repeatedly with a sigh of admiration:

"Remarkable... to be able to master the realm of 'Sign' to this extent at such a young age, with the energy flowing without the slightest obstruction—it truly is remarkable."

Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of Shin and Kibito, who had followed along and looked as if they were about to fall apart, this supposedly venerable Old Supreme Kai began to perform a series of... er, indescribable movements around the meditating Vitelli.

He first danced and gestured wildly, his movements as strange as some ancient sacrificial rite, while humming an incomprehensible, chant-like melody.

He then began to circle Vitelli like a shaman, occasionally stomping his feet, clapping his hands, or making bizarre gestures toward the sky and the earth.

Shin and Kibito watched with burning faces, their toes curling into the ground, wishing they could find a crack in the earth to crawl into.

This scene with their ancestor... it was too beautiful for them to bear.

Even Whis, who stood to the side, paused his snacking for a brief moment, a subtle glint flashing in his eyes despite his ever-present smile.

Although Vitelli had his eyes closed and was trying hard to maintain his state, the intense "visual pollution" and "auditory pollution" from the outside world inevitably interfered with him.

He felt as though his social anxiety was reaching a terminal stage, and it was only through sheer willpower that he managed to keep from breaking his concentration and jumping up.

He had known about this old man's method of helping, but... this was just too eccentric!

This ritual, which could only be described as "mental pollution," lasted for a full five hours!

When Old Supreme Kai finally stopped, panting heavily and carefully collapsing onto the grass while clutching his old lower back, not only Vitelli, but even Shin and Kibito, who were watching from the side, let out a collective sigh of relief, feeling as if they had just fought a grueling battle.

"Huff... huff... alright, kid..."

Old Supreme Kai gasped for air, his voice trembling, "You... try to feel your current state... huff... I've used every last bit of my hidden expertise for you..."

Hearing this, Vitelli immediately gathered his focus.

With a slight shift of his intent, he attempted to enter the complete "Ultra Instinct Sign" state.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

Whoosh—!

With almost no warning or buffer, a dazzling silver-white radiance erupted from his body instantly!

It was no longer a slow infusion, but a violent, explosive flare!

The silver aura wrapped around him like tangible flames, burning fiercely and emitting a divine energy far purer, more ethereal, and more powerful than before!

"This... what is this?!"

Vitelli himself was shocked.

He could clearly feel that the speed at which he entered the "Ultra Instinct" state was several times faster than before, reaching the point where it triggered the moment he willed it!

Not only that, but his base strength in his normal state and the upper limit of the power he could exert while in "Ultra Instinct" had both increased by a significant margin!

It felt as if he had been viewing the world through a thin mist, and now, that mist had been completely torn away!

"Ara~"

Whis's voice sounded at the perfect moment, his tone carrying his usual teasing lilt.

"What an astonishing improvement, Vitelli-san. It seems you are truly only one step away from the realm of Lord Beerus. When you spar with Lord Beerus in the future, you must be sure to go easy on him~"

Vitelli retracted his aura and looked at Whis with a face full of black lines:

"Go easy on him? Do me a favor, Whis, and try to act like a human for once. Can't you go fool someone else?"

He knew all too well just how much power Beerus was hiding.

Vitelli sighed helplessly, feeling that the frequency of his sighing had increased significantly ever since he met Whis.

Ignoring Whis, he turned to the Old Supreme Kai, who was slumped on the ground, and bowed solemnly:

"Thank you, Old Supreme Kai."

No matter how awkward the process had been, the results were undeniably staggering.

Old Supreme Kai waved a hand weakly, signaling that he needn't be so formal.

Afterward, Vitelli looked toward Supreme Kai Shin and brought up the serious matter regarding Majin Buu:

"Shin, when do you plan to deal with Babidi and Majin Buu?"

At the mention of this, a look of distress appeared on Shin's face:

"This... I'm afraid it will take some time. Although we can occasionally detect faint signals of Babidi and his minions operating in the universe, he is extremely cunning and his movements are erratic; he has never truly revealed his exact location. Unless he reveals himself, it is very difficult for us to pinpoint the specific hiding place of Majin Buu."

Vitelli rubbed his chin and dropped a bombshell: "Majin Buu is on Earth."

"Wh... what?! How do you know that?!"

Shin looked shocked, suddenly lifting his head to stare at Vitelli.

This news was simply too sensational! Earth? That seemingly unremarkable, low-level civilized planet?

"Don't worry about how I know; I just know."

Vitelli couldn't exactly tell him he knew because he had read the manga.

"Do you need me to step in, go to Earth, find it, and wipe it out? Let's just settle this once and for all."

Hearing this, Shin's face showed signs of extreme struggle and hesitation.

He pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head firmly:

"Vitelli-san. I'm afraid that won't work."

He explained solemnly:

"Majin Buu is the ultimate monster that Babidi poured his heart and soul into creating. If we only destroy Buu without completely eliminating the source, Babidi, with his abilities, would likely gather enough energy and materials within a few hundred years to create an even more terrifying Majin Buu!"

"We must cut the weeds and dig up the roots! Therefore, it is safest to wait for Babidi to jump out on his own and confirm his hideout before asking you to step in and wipe them all out at once. Until then, I will use the power of the Supreme Kai to keep a close watch on Earth and its surrounding star sectors for any anomalies."

Vitelli found the logic sound and nodded indifferently:

"Fine, handle it as you see fit; I'll follow your lead. Just don't hesitate when it's time to act—just notify me."

In his view, sometimes rather than exhausting oneself with schemes, it is better to break through with brute force; just charging in is enough.

This was the typical Saiyan (transmigrator) mindset.

Afterward, Vitelli expressed his gratitude to the Old Supreme Kai once more, bid farewell to Shin and Kibito, and rose to prepare for his return to the God of Destruction Realm.

Whis waved his Scepter, and a brilliant light enveloped the two. They instantly departed the Supreme Kai Realm, entering a state of travel that exceeded the speed of light.

However, while in transit, just after passing through a few galaxies, Vitelli's powerful perception suddenly caught a very familiar aura in the distant starry sky!

"Whis, hold on a second!"

Vitelli spoke up suddenly.

Whis immediately ceased movement, and the two hovered in the desolate vacuum of space.

Whis looked at Vitelli with mild curiosity:

"What is it, Vitelli-san? Did you suddenly remember you forgot to ask the two Supreme Kais for a reward? It's not too late to go back, you know~"

Vitelli was left speechless:

"What reward? Helping them was just a matter of convenience. Besides, hasn't the Old Supreme Kai already 'thanked' me in that... special way?"

Although he had grown stronger, he still felt lingering fear when he recalled those five hours of "mental pollution."

His gaze drifted toward a direction deep in the distant starry sky, as if piercing through countless light-years of distance.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Vitelli's face.

"Whis, you go back to the God of Destruction Realm first."

"I think I've sensed the aura of an 'old friend' just a few galaxies away. I'm going over to 'say hello' and should be back before dinner."

After hearing this, Whis tapped his Scepter lightly in the void, leaving behind one final sentence before quickly transforming into a stream of light and vanishing from the spot:

"Actually, Vitelli-san, it would be perfectly fine if you returned after dinner as well~ I will explain to Bulma that you went to conduct some important 'neighborhood visits.' Ho ho ho~"

Vitelli couldn't be bothered to deal with this black-bellied angel.

He raised his hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together against his forehead, and focused his mind to sense the exact location of that familiar aura.

"It's been a long time..."

He muttered to himself, his smile becoming increasingly malicious.

"Prince Vegeta."

Swish—!

The next moment, his figure vanished instantly from the cold vacuum of space, leaving only the distant stars flickering on, uninterrupted.

Chapter 29: I am Super Vegeta!

North Galaxy, a desolate planet with a harsh environment covered in crimson rocks and dust.

Night had just fallen, and a biting cold wind whistled by, carrying sand and grit.

A campfire burned tenaciously under the lee of a rock wall, serving as the only heat source on this barren planet.

A strange-looking alien creature was being roasted over the fire, sizzling with grease, and the rich aroma of meat drifted slowly into the cold wind.

Sitting around the campfire were three warriors of the Saiyan race: Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz.

Raditz stared at the flickering flames, his face etched with unease and terror. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he confirmed once more:

"P-Prince Vegeta, are you truly... determined to strike against Lord Frieza? This... this is too reckless!"

Nappa, standing to the side, immediately cast a look of disdain and barked in a gruff voice:

"Raditz! You coward! Are you backing down already? To face a mortal enemy and not dare to throw a punch—do you even deserve to call yourself a Saiyan?!"

"I..."

Raditz shrank back at the shout, wanting to defend himself but not knowing where to begin.

Vegeta suddenly raised a hand, stopping Nappa from continuing his assault.

He turned his head slowly, his sharp eyes appearing exceptionally profound under the glow of the fire.

He looked at Raditz, his tone cold and carrying an unquestionable sense of oppression:

"Raditz, I recall... you have a younger brother, don't you? The one sent to another planet before Planet Vegeta was destroyed? Is that right?"

Raditz's heart tightened, fearing Vegeta was going to punish him for his cowardice. Hearing the question, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded in response:

"Y-yes, Prince Vegeta. Back then, my father Bardock sent my brother Kakarot away in a small spacecraft before the planet exploded. If I remember correctly, he was sent to a low-level planet called 'Earth'."

"Earth... is it?"

Vegeta repeated the name in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly as his thoughts seemed to drift into the distance.

He remembered many years ago, the first time he left Planet Vegeta to carry out a conquest mission on a planet named "Planet Soph."

That mission itself had been completed smoothly; the people of Planet Soph had no power to resist.

But it was precisely there that he had lost a high-level warrior named Vitelli, who had defeated him, Vegeta!

That guy's combat power value had been clearly far lower than his own at the time, and his combat experience and techniques had seemed unremarkable, yet that very person had defeated the arrogant him with ease, even with a sense of mockery!

That sense of humiliation remained clearly branded in the depths of Vegeta's heart to this day.
