The Demon Baal

Earth's skyline was shrouded by a sudden shadow, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a massive vortex.

"This presence... it's unlike any enemy we've ever faced." There was a trace of worry in Sun Wukong's voice. He could feel the coldness and malice within that aura.

Wukong used Instant Transmission to find Vegeta. Clearly, Vegeta had sensed that power too, and the two of them quickly arrived at this place filled with evil energy.

Their gazes pierced through the clouds, fixed on that ominous presence.

"This presence... it's unlike any enemy we've ever faced." There was a trace of worry in Sun Wukong's voice. He could feel the coldness and malice within it, while Vegeta clenched his fists, ready for battle.

The two began patrolling Earth, their power flowing through the air and forming invisible ripples as they tried to catch traces of that shadow.

As they patrolled, gusts of cold wind swept past, carrying a hint of death. Leaves rustled in the wind, as if telling of the disaster soon to come.

In a desolate desert, streams of black smoke rose from the ground and formed a huge black hole. From within it, Baal's figure slowly stepped out. His body was wrapped in a layer of black mist, leaving only a pair of eyes flickering with red light exposed.

Before long, Wukong and Vegeta sensed the source of the power, arrived in the wasteland, and shouted loudly.

"Who are you? Why have you come to Earth?" Sun Wukong's voice echoed across the desert. He could feel Baal's immense power, and it made his heart beat faster.

Baal slowly raised his head. His eyes flickered with red light, like two burning fireballs. "I am Baal. I have come here to resurrect my master, Zalama!"

"Resurrect Zalama? Not a chance!" There was a hint of anger in Sun Wukong's voice, and his body began to radiate an even stronger light, but Vegeta beat him to the attack. Logically speaking, Wukong and Vegeta had basically never fought the same enemy at the same time, so this time was no different: one-on-one.

Vegeta's fists struck out like lightning, every attack filled with killing force, but Baal easily blocked them. Contempt flickered in his eyes.

As the battle went on, Vegeta felt a strange power awakening inside him, and that power resonated with Baal's. His body began to radiate a deep purple light, which intertwined with Baal's shadow energy and formed an uncanny harmony.

"What's going on? The Seed of Divine Wrath inside me is responding to Baal's power." There was a trace of shock in Vegeta's voice. He could feel his power changing, becoming more violent and uncontrollable, yet when it struck Baal, it was inexplicably weak and limp.

Sun Wukong noticed Vegeta's abnormal state and quickly approached him, trying to stabilize his power. "Vegeta, calm down. Don't let this power control you."

A crafty glint flashed through Baal's eyes, as if he had long expected Vegeta's change. "It seems my master has already sensed that I've come to receive him."

"What does that mean?" There was a hint of confusion in Sun Wukong's voice. He could feel the connection between Baal's power and Vegeta's, and that connection made their battle even more complicated.

Vegeta struggled to control the power inside him. His eyes were blood-red, and his body trembled. "Kakarot, I have to leave. I can't lose control here."

Under Sun Wukong's gaze, Vegeta forcibly suppressed the power within him and flew away from the battlefield. Baal stood in the desert, his figure appearing even taller and more threatening beneath the moonlight.

The corner of Baal's mouth curled into a cold smile, and his body began to emit even stronger shadow energy.

As Baal's power erupted, the entire desert was engulfed by a powerful energy storm. Sun Wukong felt tremendous pressure, and his heart beat faster, but there was no fear in his eyes—only the resolve to fight.

The battle between Sun Wukong and Baal unfolded in the desert. Every attack shook the entire space, and every defense made the surrounding air explode with booming blasts.

As for Vegeta, who had already flown far away in an attempt to calm himself, he had no idea what was going on—why his body was reacting so strongly in the face of this Baal.
