Uncontrolled Vegeta

Inside the sealed space of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, time was like a twisted river, rushing by at terrifying speed. Sun Wukong and Vegeta trained bitterly within that accelerated flow. Their goal was to master new power, but the power of the "Seed of Divine Wrath" inside Vegeta suddenly erupted and slipped out of control.

Vegeta's body was suddenly surrounded by a violent red energy. It was like an uncontrollable blaze, crashing wildly through him as it searched for a way out. Beneath his skin, his veins pulsed angrily like burning magma.

No, this power... it's going out of control! Vegeta roared inwardly. He could feel the power of the "Seed of Divine Wrath" trying to devour his reason and turn him into a beast that knew only destruction.

Vegeta's eyes turned bloodred. His fists struck the ground unconsciously, and every impact made the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber tremble. His body began releasing destructive energy beyond his control, and cracks started appearing in the space around him.

Sun Wukong immediately sensed that something was wrong with Vegeta. He stopped training and fixed his full attention on him. He could see the struggle and pain in Vegeta's eyes, and he knew that if he did not act at once, Vegeta might be completely destroyed by this power.

Sun Wukong could feel the tension and unease in the air. He could feel the violent energy radiating from Vegeta, an energy that made his skin sting as if countless tiny needles were piercing him.

Vegeta, hold on! Sun Wukong thought silently. He knew he had to act as quickly as possible, or the consequences would be unthinkable.

Sun Wukong swiftly moved to Vegeta's side. His palm gave off a soft blue glow—the mark of Angel Power. He tried to use his own strength to calm the rampaging power inside Vegeta.

Sun Wukong's palm gently touched Vegeta's body, and a warm yet powerful energy flowed from his hand into Vegeta. That energy was like a clear stream, trying to extinguish the flames raging inside him.

"Control it, Vegeta. Don't let it control you!" Sun Wukong's voice carried a trace of firmness. He knew this was a battle that concerned Vegeta's life and death.

Vegeta's body began to tremble. He could feel Sun Wukong's power flowing through him, a force that stood in stark contrast to the power of the "Seed of Divine Wrath." His reason gradually began to return, and he started cooperating with Sun Wukong's power, trying to suppress the violent force inside him.

As time passed, the fluctuations of energy inside Vegeta began to weaken, and clarity gradually returned to his eyes. He could feel the power of the "Seed of Divine Wrath" slowly being brought under control, and his reason was once again reclaiming command over his body.

Vegeta drew in a deep breath. He could feel his body gradually relaxing, and that violent energy was being calmed. His heartbeat slowly returned to normal, and his breathing became steady as well.

But how could something created through the combined efforts of all the Gods of Destruction be so easily suppressed? Not to mention that Wukong was still only at the early Angel stage. Vegeta went completely out of control, and the red energy that had just been suppressed actually reappeared in an even more terrifying form.

Wukong broke out in a cold sweat from the shock of Vegeta's energy.

"Kakarot! Let's have a good, all-out fight. I'm using what little consciousness I have left to tell you—this Evil Fire wants to take control of my body. I can't hold it back anymore."

"I understand."

At that moment, Wukong calmed his mind. His eyes gently closed, then snapped open, and he entered the state of Ultra Instinct Sign.

Vegeta, however, entered another form. His eyes widened in fury, and he entered Ultra Ego—but that was far from the end. As Vegeta let out roar after roar, his body actually shifted from scarlet to deep purple, his muscles swelling to twice their size, and his hair grew a little longer.

"Then enter my domain!"

Deep purple energy began forming a domain around him, and everything within that domain seemed to be warped by its power.

Inside the deep purple domain, everything became blurred and indistinct, and time seemed to slow down. Sun Wukong could feel the energy fluctuations within this domain, and those waves made his heart race and his breathing quicken.

But Wukong could not help feeling shocked. In the universe, there were probably only a few who could say they had a domain. As far as he knew, there was only Hit.

"Vegeta actually has a domain!?"

At this moment, Wukong no longer had the luxury of thinking too much.

The instant Wukong fixed his eyes on Vegeta, Vegeta moved at a speed that even Wukong, in his Ultra Instinct Sign state, could not perceive, and slammed a punch into Wukong's stomach.

With that single blow, Wukong's eyes flew wide open and blood sprayed from his mouth. Fortunately, the healing effects of Angel Power were restoring him.

Vegeta looked at the recovering Wukong, and his body could not help trembling with excitement. No one knew whether he still had any consciousness, and perhaps the only one who could fight Vegeta in his current state was Wukong.

Vegeta raised his leg and sent Wukong flying far, far away with one kick. But Wukong actually did not fight back, as if he had done it deliberately. Who knew what that fool was thinking at a time like this?

Wukong smiled then.

"Vegeta, in your current state, you really are much stronger than the you I know. In that case, I can't hold back anymore either. I'll definitely win this fight and take back control of your body!"

Wukong's hair changed from black to white, and half a wing appeared behind him. The aura around him bloomed within the oppressive domain. At this moment, Wukong was like a blue-white flame appearing in the night.

Their battle erupted inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Every attack made the entire space tremble, and every defense made the surrounding air explode with sharp blasts.

Wukong could feel every attack of his being swallowed by the deep purple domain, and every defense being battered by that violent power. He could feel his stamina being rapidly drained, and he could feel his will being tested again and again.

Vegeta's attacks were like a raging storm. Every punch seemed to tear at the boundaries of space-time, but Wukong refused to be outdone.

Neither side gave an inch, and a head-on slugfest began. Wukong smashed his fist hard into Vegeta's face, while Vegeta struck back with his leg, the two of them engaging in the most primitive kind of combat.

The battle grew fiercer and fiercer. The collision of their powers produced enormous energy waves that even twisted the surrounding space, forming a massive vortex. Vegeta suddenly launched a powerful energy wave, and Wukong answered with an equally powerful one. The two forces collided in midair, bursting into dazzling light.

"Your power has increased again, Vegeta." Wukong's voice rang especially clear amid the roar of energy.

Their fists and feet intertwined like a violent storm. Every contact came with a deafening boom.

Just then, Wukong, in Half-Wing Ultra Instinct, suddenly kicked Vegeta down to the ground and looked down at him from above.

Wukong stood in the sky, his gaze firm and his body taut, preparing to unleash one of his most powerful attacks—the Kamehameha. His feet hovered steadily in the air, providing a solid foundation for the power he was about to release.

He took a deep breath, slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest, fingertips facing each other to form a perfect circle. His arms trembled slightly because he was gathering the immense energy within him.

A focused expression appeared on Wukong's face. His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes shut, and he concentrated completely on feeling the flow of energy inside his body.

As the energy continued to gather, a ball of light formed between Wukong's hands. At first, it was only the size of an egg, but as Wukong kept pouring his energy into it, the light ball gradually grew larger until it was the size of a soccer ball. It was filled with energy both gentle and violent.

Wukong's muscles grew even harder from exertion, and beads of sweat seeped from his forehead. It was proof that he was giving everything he had.

Finally, when the light ball reached its limit, Wukong suddenly opened his eyes, an unyielding fighting spirit flashing within them. With a loud shout, he thrust his hands forward and released the Kamehameha that had been waiting to erupt. The light ball shot out like a meteor, dragging a long tail behind it as it charged straight toward its target.

Wherever the Kamehameha passed, the air was torn apart, letting out a piercing whistle. Its speed was tremendous, and it erupted with a deafening explosion, shaking the entire battlefield with its power.

Below, Vegeta was also charging up his signature ultimate technique—"Final Flash"!

Vegeta slowly brought his hands together before his chest, palms facing each other, and began gathering the energy within his body. At that moment, the energy inside the deep purple domain transformed into soul-like forms that rushed into Vegeta one after another. However, Vegeta did not completely absorb all the domain's energy, instead leaving a little behind. After all, when clashing beams with Sun Wukong, the greatest taboo was celebrating before the match was over.

The two energies collided violently, and that force seemed as if it wanted to rip apart every material thing around it. The distortion was no longer merely on the surface now. Wukong could clearly feel that the spatial distortion created by the first release of energy wanted to drag him into that dark, hollow void.

As the two of them poured more and more energy into their signature techniques, the light of their beam struggle grew even more dazzling, and their clash became increasingly fierce. The battle had settled into a forty-sixty split.

The blue-white ki blast and the deep-purple flash mercilessly devoured each other's energy. No turning point appeared on the battlefield for a long time, and Goku's stamina was almost exhausted. Vegeta, meanwhile, seemed to have endless strength, growing more and more arrogant.

"Hahahahaha! Kakarot, in my territory, you can forget about beating me!"

"Vegeta...! Am I really unable to take back control of your body?"

Just as Vegeta was laughing, his smile suddenly froze. His body jolted violently, as if Vegeta had begun fighting Evil Fire for control.

"Quick... Kakarot, put more power into it!"

Goku understood what Vegeta meant. Seizing the moment while Vegeta was in pain, he unleashed the full extent of his strength. The beam struggle, which had originally been at a forty-sixty split, was suddenly turned in Goku's favor. With one fierce push, it blasted hard toward Vegeta.

At last, Goku successfully defeated Vegeta. The domain around them slowly faded away, and the deep purple on Vegeta's body receded as well, returning him to his normal state. Of course, Goku was not doing much better. The moment the beam struggle ended, he crashed down hard from the sky toward the ground. With difficulty, he raised his arm, pulled two Senzu Beans from his body, put them in his mouth, and chewed.

Goku's previously battered body actually recovered completely. He twisted his body, as if he had triggered the Saiyan near-death bug once again. This time, Goku could clearly feel that his strength had increased.

He rushed over to Vegeta on the ground at top speed. Seeing Vegeta lying there at death's door, he first used Angel Power to heal him and help him recover a little. Vegeta slowly opened his eyes.

"Kakarot, you don't need to heal me. When I was lying on the ground, I could feel the Seed of Divine Wrath inside me sending energy into my body."

"Vegeta, hurry and cut off that energy. I can feel that this energy is the source of you losing control."

Goku gave Vegeta a Senzu Bean. Not long after Vegeta ate it, his body recovered, and the Seed of Divine Wrath happened to stop sending energy as well.

Goku did not dare let his guard down in the slightest. He immediately entered his Half-Wing Ultra Instinct state.

"Kakarot, what are you...?"

Goku did not speak. He only closed his eyes and stood behind Vegeta. His two palms slowly pressed close to Vegeta's back, and Vegeta could clearly feel Goku's Angel Power entering his body.
