"Whew."
Vegeta's face was drenched in sweat, his eyes fixed intently on Lei Chen.
Lei Chen stood in midair with his arms crossed over his chest, watching Vegeta without changing expression.
Just then, Lei Chen suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the ground. A flash of red light passed, and he returned to his normal state.
"Vegeta, let's stop here. If we keep fighting, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will disappear."
Lei Chen's words made Vegeta pause. Only then did he notice that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber had become unstable. If they kept fighting, the terrifying power of their Super Saiyan 4 forms would destroy this entire parallel world.
After all, even Super Saiyan 3's power could break through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and make the entire spirit world shake. Super Saiyan 4 was on a whole other level.
"Hmph!"
Vegeta snorted without replying, then returned to his normal state and followed Lei Chen out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
New Earth.
That meant they had skipped right past the part where Earth was destroyed.
Five days had passed by now.
Vegeta and Lei Chen had just stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and a group of people was already waiting for them.
"Was that power I sensed yours, Vegeta? I can't believe you managed to transform into a Super Saiyan 4 in just one day—or, well, one year."
A child with spiky hair walked toward Vegeta and Lei Chen.
"Hmph, Kakarot. Don't think that just because you can transform into a Super Saiyan 4, I can't. I'm the Saiyan Prince."
Vegeta smiled as he looked at Son Goku.
"Oh, are you asking for a fight?"
Son Goku smiled at Vegeta.
"Bring it on. Today, I'll show you that I'm the strongest Saiyan in this world."
Vegeta looked at Son Goku, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
"Vegeta, I'm the strongest Saiyan, remember? Did you forget who beat you before?"
Hearing Vegeta call himself the strongest Saiyan, Lei Chen couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"Hmph, you're not from this universe, so you don't count. Besides, we never settled things last time."
Although Vegeta knew Lei Chen was stronger than him, he refused to admit it outwardly. Even though he accepted deep down that Lei Chen's power surpassed his own, he had the pride of a Saiyan Prince to uphold.
He refused to give up. No matter how many times Son Goku surpassed him, it would never shake his confidence.
"All right, you're right."
Lei Chen hadn't expected Vegeta to put it that way, but Vegeta had a point. He wasn't the strongest Saiyan in this universe because he wasn't from this universe.
So Lei Chen said no more.
Golden light radiated from Son Goku. His body grew, his one-meter-twenty frame instantly stretching to one meter eighty-two. His black hair fell to his shoulders, dark rings circled his eyes, and he was surrounded by no golden flames. Red fur covered his upper body.
Son Goku, in his full-power Super Saiyan 4 form, pulsed with flashes of red light. The temperature around him rose to several hundred degrees. Anyone with power below Super Saiyan 2 who approached him would be burned to death by the terrifying energy.
"Hmph!"
Vegeta snorted. Golden light radiated from his body, and he transformed into Super Saiyan 4 as well. His dark red hair reached his shoulders, dark red rings circled his eyes, and red fur covered his body. His whole body pulsed with flashes of red light.
