Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
On the island where Vegeta was located.
During this time, as he further consolidated and broke through his own strength, Vegeta clearly felt his power take another step forward.
Although he couldn't determine his exact combat power index, Vegeta was certain it was approaching at least 3 million.
"Next, let me test if I can manage to fill that bottomless pit with my current strength!"
Fully prepared, Vegeta exerted all his effort to control his ki, guiding it toward the center of his spine.
Unlike last time, that layer of resistance did not reappear.
It must be that he had successfully broken through the first barrier, so that resistive screen would no longer manifest.
However, the suction force was even more terrifying than before, leaving Vegeta shocked.
The speed of that absorption and devouring was at least ten times faster!
As his strength improved, as his mastery over his own power became more refined, and as his cultivation of ki reached a certain realm, his mental power also grew sufficiently strong, and his body underwent a transformation and evolution without him even realizing it.
"It really isn't as simple as I thought! But this time is different from before, HAAAAAA~~!!" Clenching his fists and bending his arms slightly, Vegeta planted his feet firmly and began to exert force.
Energy as surging as the vast ocean poured continuously toward that bottomless pit, forcibly condensing a point of light at that very location.
While ensuring the energy didn't leak, he had to make his power condense and stabilize at that spot; otherwise, he would never be able to find the center.
"HRAAAAA~~!!!" A deeper roar continued to erupt from Vegeta's throat.
The energy surged like a tsunami, causing a snow-white film of light to appear on the surface of Vegeta's body, making him look incredibly sacred and dazzling.
As the power continued to release, Vegeta's body grew scorching hot; the cells within him began to move violently, accelerating their division and expanding rapidly, as if they had been thoroughly activated.
This world trembled because of Vegeta's power; countless grains of sand and stones floated into the sky, only to be pulverized under the intense air pressure moments later.
The sky darkened at some unknown point, shrouded by layers of black clouds as bolts of lightning flashed and descended from above.
"Still not enough! Just a little more!! Gather for me!!" With a ferocious expression and veins bulging like dragons all over his body, Vegeta's roar echoed across the sky.
Because his own power had reached its limit, the lightning in the sky seemed to be drawn to him, striking his body one after another, making the scene appear even more terrifying.
Vegeta gritted his teeth and endured it head-on.
Just as he was about to reach his breaking point, the bottomless pit finally seemed to lose its suction as if it had been filled, bringing great joy to Vegeta's heart.
"Now is the time!! Explode!!!"
His ki was released completely; a terrifying, unimaginable surge of power detonated from the depths of that bottomless pit all at once, causing Vegeta's body to feel as if it were about to swell and burst.
For a fleeting moment, Vegeta felt as if his very sanity were being scattered.
The white-purple ki that originally belonged to Vegeta was replaced by a golden aura; golden light soared into the sky, bringing his body to the ultimate sublimation.
The release of his ki was like a tidal wave, surging out from every part of Vegeta's body.
His black eyebrows and hair turned golden under the rendering of the golden light, and Vegeta's pupils shifted to an emerald green, deep and piercing like jade.
"BOOM~~~!!!"
An overwhelming pressure swept outward, and every living thing within a thousand miles was instantly subjected to absolute suppression.
Nail, who was closest and possessed the greatest strength, and the Grand Elder on Planet Namek were both stunned, sensing the terror of this ki in disbelief.
The rest of the Namekians wore expressions of fear, their bodies trembling, unable to even speak.
"Has he succeeded? Is this the power of a Super Saiyan? It has actually reached such a terrifying level." The Grand Elder murmured, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.
He should have been happy, because this meant the crisis could be resolved.
But now, a new worry arose, for he did not know if helping Vegeta unlock his potential was right or wrong.
Especially since he had learned that the Earthling had rescued Dende and was currently heading his way, it left his heart in turmoil.
Nail, who was outside, stepped quickly into the inner room. Seeing the Grand Elder's expression, he tried his best to restrain his emotions and said, "Grand Elder, that Vegeta's ki has grown to such a level, if he..."
"Choose to believe. Since it is already done, there is no turning back. We can only treat him as a friend."
"Very well, I understand."
"Keep the clansmen outside under control. Remember, what happens next may be beyond our imagination. Also, the Earthling should be arriving soon." The Grand Elder added.
Nail nodded silently upon hearing this.
At the same time, the spaceship heading toward this location was suddenly suppressed by the terrifying ki, causing the hull to shake violently until Bulma activated the ship's protective barrier, which barely managed to stabilize it.
"What's going on? The weather changed so suddenly." Bulma was an ordinary person, so she didn't know what the situation was.
Krillin, Son Gohan, and Dende sensed the terrifying ki erupting from Vegeta immediately; their faces turned pale as they gasped for air.
"Wh-what is going on? It's only been a day, how could Vegeta... become this strong?" Krillin's voice faltered, his entire body trembling.
This ki seemed to have far surpassed the evil aura possessed by Frieza.
"So strong, too strong. And Vegeta's ki is a bit different from before, Uncle Krillin." Son Gohan swallowed hard, suppressing the fear in his heart.
Krillin nodded; he had also sensed the difference, but he couldn't put it into words.
Dende stood to the side, his face turning purple as cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"So, so terrifying. That direction—that is where the Grand Elder is." Dende spoke up.
"What?! Damn it, how could Vegeta be here? Is he planning to make a move against the Grand Elder?" Krillin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, shouting in frustration.
He had thought that by luckily saving Dende this time, shaking off the pursuit of the Frieza Force, and now receiving guidance from the Grand Elder, he could effortlessly obtain two Dragon Balls and earn the goodwill and trust of the Namekian.
Now it seemed that Vegeta had already set his sights on the Grand Elder.
He could not know what had happened before, nor could he know that Vegeta was no longer the original Vegeta, that he would not be an enemy to the Namekian, and on the contrary, would even protect the Namekian.
PS: Turning into a Super Saiyan so quickly, is it too fast? Hehe.
