The Warrior's Annihilation

Vegeta's body began to tremble, and a trace of clarity returned to his eyes. Deep-purple energy and blue-gold light intertwined inside him, forming a breathtaking sight.

As time passed, the energy fluctuations inside Vegeta began to weaken, and his eyes gradually cleared. He could feel the power of the Seed of Divine Wrath being brought under control, and his reason was seizing command of his body once more.

Vegeta took a deep breath. He could feel his body gradually relaxing, and that berserk energy was being calmed. His heartbeat slowly returned to normal, and his breathing steadied as well.

Sun Wukong slowly withdrew his palm. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat; clearly, the transfer just now had consumed a great deal of his energy. Even so, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

When Sun Wukong and Vegeta walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, they were stunned by the scene before them. The once-familiar surroundings had vanished, replaced by an endless void, with only the doorway to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber remaining.

There was not the slightest sign of life in the void, not the slightest sound—only deathly silence and darkness. Sun Wukong and Vegeta could feel the despair and loneliness within this emptiness.

"What is going on? The Earth we just restored..." Sun Wukong's voice carried a slight tremble. He could not accept this cruel reality.

Vegeta's face turned pale, and berserk energy began to radiate from his body. "The Gods of Destruction... They actually destroyed our home again!"

Their hearts were filled with rage and resentment. They could not tolerate their home being destroyed so easily. They decided to go find the Gods of Destruction and settle the score, to seek revenge for Earth's destruction.

Golden and deep-purple light began to radiate from Sun Wukong and Vegeta's bodies. Their power erupted in the void, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"Vegeta, calm down. Let's go to Fortuneteller Baba first and see who destroyed this place."

Wukong placed his hand on his forehead, preparing to use Instant Transmission. Vegeta placed his hand on Wukong's shoulder and could clearly feel Wukong's body trembling, as though he was suppressing the fury in his heart. Of course, Vegeta was not much better.

Sun Wukong and Vegeta stood in a quiet forest. Dense trees and strange flowers surrounded them, and the fresh scent of soil and plants filled the air. Their gazes passed through the woodland path and fixed on the ancient little hut ahead—Fortuneteller Baba's residence.

"I hope Fortuneteller Baba can see what happened before," Sun Wukong silently thought, a hint of anticipation and unease in his eyes.

Vegeta followed close behind him, his expression grave, his eyes flashing with determination. "We have to know exactly who it was, who keeps destroying our home again and again!"

The two slowly walked toward the hut, every step feeling especially heavy.

The door of the hut slowly opened, and a mysterious aura surged out from within, carrying a trace of ancient, unknown power.

"Welcome, brave warriors." Fortuneteller Baba's voice came from inside, carrying a hint of mystery and kindness.

Fortuneteller Baba sat before a crystal ball, her hands lightly touching its surface, her eyes flashing with a profound light. "What do you wish to see?" There was a note of inquiry in her voice.

"Fortuneteller Baba, stop keeping us in suspense. We're not in the mood for jokes right now. We just want to see which God of Destruction destroyed Earth!"

Fortuneteller Baba did not speak. She only quietly cast her magic, and at once, images appeared on the crystal ball.

In the image, the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Vermoud, had brought his lackeys here. Following right behind him was the God of Destruction of Universe 7, Beerus.

At the sight of this, Wukong's heart instantly tightened.

"The Gods of Destruction from other universes want to get rid of us, and Beerus just watched? After all this time as friends, just because of one Tournament of Power, he wants to get rid of his own friends!?"

Vegeta clenched his fists tightly. That power seemed as though it wanted to crush the two Gods of Destruction through the screen.

But Wukong and Vegeta had gotten angry too soon. What would make them even angrier was still to come.

Vermoud slaughtered the humans on Earth on a massive scale, and the lackeys he had brought seemed to enjoy that thrill as well. They loved listening to people scream, helpless and powerless to do anything.

Just then, Earth's Z Fighters appeared. They stretched out their hands and stood in front of the crowd, while Vermoud, seeing that Sun Wukong and Vegeta, whom they had been thinking about day and night, were not there, merely gave a cold laugh and mocked them.

"Where are those two pieces of trash? Hurry up and call them over. I don't want to fight useless things like you. While I'm still in a decent mood, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and get lost."

Krillin and Tien Shinhan stepped forward.

"Don't even dream of seeing them. As long as we still have one breath left, you'll never find them!"

Vermoud said nothing. He merely pulled his smile back onto his face and put on a very calm expression.

Krillin grew nervous.

"What are you—"

Before Krillin could finish speaking, Vermoud instantly appeared in front of him, one hand grabbing Krillin's arm while the palm of his other hand rose to Krillin's brow.

"Destruction!"

Krillin's body began to dissipate. Even in death, he never finished that sentence. When the other Z Fighters saw this, though they were shocked, not one of them backed down.

"You damned lot!"

A ball of energy the size of a ping-pong ball gathered in Vermoud's hand. Then the energy ball began to split apart. Vermoud laughed loudly, and in an instant, he hurled them all around the Z Fighters. The Z Fighters fled in every direction, but those energy balls were like they had tracking systems, following behind every one of them.

First Piccolo, then Yamcha—aside from Gohan and Trunks, every warrior was killed!

"I heard Sun Wukong and Vegeta have wives too?"

Vermoud looked at Beerus and asked with a loud laugh.

Beerus nodded coldly.

"Hurry up and take me there! I can't hold back from destroying them anymore!"

Before long, Vermoud arrived at Sun Wukong's home. His family was not exactly rich, but they were not so poor that it was unbearable to look at, either.

"This is where Sun Wukong lives...?"

Before Vermoud could finish speaking, Gohan stepped forward. Gohan roared, and his flat bangs instantly turned into long, sharp bangs. It was clear that in his normal state, Gohan could no longer maintain Mystic Gohan. Busy with his studies, Gohan had already fallen to this point.

"Kid, you're not good enough."

As soon as Vermoud said this, he merely teleported and arrived behind Gohan. But he did not kill him immediately. Instead, he punched Gohan in the waist.

Gohan ignored the pain in his body and struck back with a backhand blow, but in Vermoud's eyes, the Gohan at this moment looked as if he were practicing tai chi, his speed clearly slowed.

Just then, Chi-Chi stepped forward.

"Was it you who ruined my Goten!?"

"Mom, don't come over here!"

Gohan roared in fury.

But the enraged Chi-Chi could not hear him at all. She kicked Vermoud, and Vermoud did not dodge. Instead, he let Chi-Chi's kick land on him.

"You're done kicking, right? Now it's my turn!"

Vermoud kicked out, and Chi-Chi's eyes instantly turned from black to white. A moment later, she began to split apart, her body torn in two. Gohan stared at Chi-Chi collapsed in front of him, so shocked he could not say a word.

Vermoud gave him no chance, either. He simply held Gohan's hand calmly, placed his palm against Gohan's brow, and shouted that one word: "Destruction!"

Just like that, Gohan was turned to dust. Watching this, Goku shed a single tear, furious yet utterly powerless.

The scene shifted to Vegeta's home. Bulma had developed all kinds of fresh little gadgets, while Little Trunks was learning various fighting techniques, preparing to perform them for Vegeta, who was about to come out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Then Beerus arrived.

"Lord Beerus, why are you..."

"Destruction."

Before Bulma could finish speaking, Beerus coldly destroyed her. Trunks, who witnessed everything, went mad and punched and kicked at Beerus, releasing all the energy in his body in a ki blast. But to Beerus, it was nothing. He slapped Trunks viciously across the face, and with that one blow, no one knew whether Trunks had merely fainted or been beaten to death.

An energy ball appeared at Beerus's fingertip, and he slowly tossed it to the ground. Then the earth began to split, volcanoes erupted, and tsunamis began to strike. But after only a few seconds, Earth was destroyed for the second time.

Watching this, Vegeta and Goku could no longer help transforming into their strongest forms, as if venting the rage of their powerlessness.

"You just wait. We'll definitely avenge you!"

The seed of revenge, from being wiped out before to now taking root and sprouting anew, needed only one image—an image enough to shatter Goku and Vegeta's psychological defenses!
