"Hmph, is that all you've got, Vegeta?" Cui sneered smugly.

"Galick Gun!"

Vegeta looked down on him from above and casually swept his little hand downward, firing a blast of energy.

"Rumble!"

The energy blast engulfed Cui.

Cui was hit, leaving a crater in the ground and embedding him deep inside it.

"That little brat's no pushover," Champa couldn't help remarking.

"Vegeta's movements seemed a little rusty at first, but now his attacks have fully opened up..." Vados analyzed. "So he can make up for the difference in strength with his fighting style."

Champa glanced at Vados but said nothing.

"Still, judging by their respective strengths, it'll probably take at least three hours for them to decide the winner," Vados said with a smile.

"Three hours?" Champa immediately lost interest. "Hmph. We came to Beerus's universe to gather information, not watch ants fight... Let's go somewhere else, get something to eat, and then look around."

"Of course, Lord Champa." Vados nodded.

As for the battle between Vegeta and Cui, Vados had no intention of helping Vegeta.

Vados believed that Vegeta might win.

After all, his fighting spirit was stronger than that of the frog-faced man.

It was as if he had been born to fight!

"Let's go, let's go," Champa urged.

The two had just prepared to leave.

"Rumble!"

A powerful blast of energy shot straight up from the crater and hurtled toward Vegeta.

Vados and Champa paused in surprise, then immediately looked over.

Vegeta reacted just as quickly, dodging the incoming energy in a flash.

"Hmph, you dodged it," Cui snorted, appearing directly in front of Vegeta.

Vegeta smiled faintly.

"Vegeta, the game's over. From now on, I'm getting serious," Cui said with a slight smile.

Vegeta leisurely raised his right hand.

"Pop!"

A golden energy sphere appeared in his hand.

"What's that?" Champa asked in surprise. "It doesn't seem to have much offensive power."

"Maybe it's some kind of support energy," Vados guessed.

"Strange kid. After creating that thing, his energy dropped dramatically," Champa mused.

"Indeed. Maybe that thing is more useful to him in some other way," Vados said.

Cui stared blankly for five seconds.

What was that thing?

At the same time, Cui noticed through his scouter that Vegeta's power level was plummeting.

In the blink of an eye, Vegeta's power level had fallen to 7,000.

"Vegeta, are you giving up?" Cui snorted.

"Hmph. Get ready," Vegeta said with a smile. "I'm coming at you."

"Please. You think that thing can hit me?" Cui sneered.

Whoosh!

Vegeta forcefully tossed the golden sphere in his hand into the air.

Cui froze again.

Then he burst into laughter. "Vegeta, have you lost your mind? Are you trying to shoot down a plane?"

"Cui, wipe that disgusting smile off your face. You won't be laughing for much longer," Vegeta snorted.

"What? I still don't get what you're trying to do. Take a good look at your power level!" Cui said with a chuckle. "You're down to 7,000, while my power level is still 12,000! That puts us 5,000 apart!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Vegeta remained calm.

"Hey, Vados, that kid looks pretty confident," Champa said. He had been about to leave, but seeing the energy sphere Vegeta had released had suddenly piqued his interest.

Champa wanted to know what Vegeta was planning.

He could tell that after creating the energy sphere, Vegeta's power had dropped dramatically. He was no longer a match for the frog-faced man.

Vados had said the energy sphere was for support.

What kind of support could it provide?

"Pop!"

After rising high into the sky, the energy sphere rapidly blossomed with a sacred light.

"W-what is that thing?"

"Is that... the moon?"

"That's the moon, isn't it? Strange, it's not the fifteenth today! It's not a full moon!"

"No, that thing was made by that long-tailed kid!"

Everyone present began whispering and murmuring among themselves at the sight.

"What? A full moon?" Cui's pupils shrank. He suddenly realized what was happening, and his expression changed again and again.

Vegeta looked up at the artificial full moon in the sky.

Then he clearly felt his heartbeat speeding up, the sound carrying right into his ears.

"Thump, thump... thump, thump... thump, thump..."

It had a steady rhythm, like a drumbeat.

Let's try transforming into a Great Ape.

It's a bit excessive for dealing with this guy.

But I also want to know if I'll lose my mind after turning into a Great Ape.

If I turn into a Great Ape and revert to the old Vegeta, I'll be in trouble.

So I need to try this as soon as possible.

It's not like I'm transforming into a Great Ape specifically to deal with some little nobody like him.

I'll have to try it sooner or later, so now's as good a time as any.

The next moment, Vegeta clearly felt his body growing larger.

Every part of him was growing.

Everything around him was rapidly getting smaller.

At the same time, black fur began growing all over his body.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Vegeta transformed into a black Great Ape.

Cui was stunned.

Vegeta, you dirty cheater!

You can transform too?

After a brief moment of shock, Cui turned and ran.

Vegeta, you can't do this!

"This is getting more and more interesting!" Champa's eyes widened, a hint of surprise showing on his face. "I never thought that kid could transform."

"My, my... after transforming, Vegeta's energy has increased at least tenfold," Vados said with a smile.

"Tenfold? Not bad," Champa said with a laugh. "Looks like there's no suspense about how this fight will end, is there?"

"Indeed," Vados nodded.

"Tch, we judged Vegeta in his favor at first just because the two of them looked so different," Champa said.

"Oh ho ho... who could blame us?" Vados said with a laugh. "Everyone is drawn to beautiful things. Being a little cute can give you quite an advantage."
