Vegeta's Return

Baal also seemed to be quietly waiting for this Saiyan, who was using his master's energy, to arrive. After all, Baal had beaten him into a panicked retreat after only a brief exchange just now, and he still wanted to mock Vegeta a little.

Soon, Vegeta came plummeting down from the sky at high speed.

When Baal saw the Saiyan before him, he could not help sneering, "How does a useless person like you deserve to use the Seed of Divine Wrath? It contains my master's energy. Though not all of it, it should still be more than enough for you to fight me with. How did you manage to use it so terribly?"

Vegeta felt a flicker of anger at his words. How was he supposed to know the Seed of Divine Wrath would resonate when it sensed Baal's power? Vegeta himself had wanted to fight properly, but the Seed of Divine Wrath would not allow it.

"You've got the nerve to say that?"

Vegeta forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and Goku also noticed it. But by now, Goku's stamina was almost at its limit. Vegeta had definitely noticed that, too. Seeing that Goku was exhausted yet still wanted to go up and fight him, Vegeta quickly called out to him.

"Kakarot, let me."

Goku nodded, withdrew from Half-Wing Ultra Instinct, then closed his eyes and entered a meditative state on the spot. This was also a good way to recover.

"What is that?"

Baal had never seen such a technique. After all, back when they fought in the past, they had relied entirely on rest to recover their stamina.

"What it is has nothing to do with you. What you need to do right now is worry about yourself."

Sure enough, experts always had to trash-talk before a match.

Baal had already entered his strongest form, while Vegeta was still in his base form, because as far as Baal was concerned, there definitely could not be two angel candidates. This junior before him, who possessed the power of the Seed of Divine Wrath, definitely did not have a form like Ultra Instinct.

But very soon, the Vegeta before him shocked him.

Vegeta clenched both hands tightly, his hair changing rapidly. Soon, he entered Ultra Ego. His hair shifted from dark violet to deep purple, then to scarlet, and the aura around him changed along with the color of his hair.

"Your power is very wild. Compared with that Saiyan just now, you do have more of the shadow of the Progenitor of the Saiyans."

After being praised by Baal like this, Vegeta inevitably felt a little proud inside. But praise alone was useless. Vegeta wanted to beat him into submission.

Vegeta flashed in front of Baal at a speed inferior to Goku's but faster than Baal's, grabbing Baal tightly with one hand. Caught like this, Baal's body very clearly froze for a moment, and then he tried to break free from Vegeta.

But Vegeta gave him no chance to resist. After grabbing him, he flew rapidly toward the sky, because due to the terrain, Vegeta was prone to being at a disadvantage here.

Once they reached a certain height, Vegeta released Baal and created a barrier with his own aura. From outside this barrier, outsiders could not see in, but those inside could see out.

Vegeta stood atop the clouds, his body surrounded by scarlet light. That radiance was like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating his resolute face.

By contrast, Baal's figure flickered in and out of sight among the clouds, his body surrounded by black mist. He was probably about to carry out some tactic.

"Let's see who the real strong one is." Vegeta's voice carried a hint of provocation, his fists clenched as he prepared to attack.

In the decisive battle in the sky, Vegeta's and Baal's powers collided within the clouds. Every attack made the entire space tremble, but that was all it did—tremble.

At this point, it would not be an exaggeration to say Vegeta was completely suppressing Baal. As they fought, Vegeta found an opening in one of Baal's mistakes and smashed a punch into Baal's head.

Baal was slammed hard into the ground by that blow, breaking through the barrier Vegeta had released. Baal slowly crawled out of the sand. Indeed, he had expended too much stamina while fighting Goku just now.

Vegeta quickly flashed behind Baal and hammered him with his fists. Baal refused to show weakness and responded in kind. Just like that, the two of them fought using the most primitive method of battle, trading punch for kick.

At this moment, Vegeta unleashed Prince Tactics. Baal blocked in front of himself with both hands, while Vegeta also took advantage of the smoke to quickly retreat backward and begin charging his power.

When the dust cleared, Baal stood in place, searching for Vegeta. By now, his stamina was clearly failing. Even if he had not fought Goku, he might not necessarily have been a match for the current Vegeta, because Vegeta was practically equal to having infinite stamina, with the Seed of Divine Wrath supplying him with energy.

Looking at the battered Baal, Vegeta started getting cocky again. He pointed at Baal and said, "Is this all you've got? How were you going back and forth with Kakarot?"

Baal clenched his fists. He had not expected the Saiyan before him to dare mock him like this. But since he currently had no stamina left, he could only silently swallow his anger.

Vegeta looked at the obvious displeasure on Baal's face, but Vegeta liked seeing him displeased. Who told him to mock Vegeta like that when the Seed of Divine Wrath was resonating with him?

Vegeta did not say much more. He would leave the guy a little dignity. Then he would let him die with a bit of honor. Since energy blasts could not resolve this, he would use the move Vegeta had used to finish Nappa.

"Galaxy Destroyer! This is my full-power strike, Baal. You can't block it!" Vegeta's voice carried a trace of confidence. His body suddenly rushed forward, using the same kind of grab. One hand seized Baal's arm, while his other leg kicked viciously into Baal's body. That blow instantly made Baal's body go limp.

Taking advantage of the moment Baal's body softened, Vegeta suddenly hurled him into the sky with force, then raised one hand sharply and extended his index and middle fingers. The two fingers pressed tightly together and immediately pointed at Baal. At that moment, it was as if Baal had a time bomb tied inside his body, and Vegeta's fingers were the fuse.

While Baal was still in the sky trying to resist, his body suddenly contracted inward. His eyes rolled white, and his body was gradually corroded by a scarlet aura. In the end, it looked as if energy was gathering, but this was not energy being supplied.

Vegeta smiled, and the energy gathered inside Baal's body seemed to receive a signal. His body exploded apart in midair.

The entire sky was suddenly invaded by scarlet color, and Earth seemed to dim all at once. As for Baal, he lost his life within Vegeta's "Galaxy Destroyer" technique.
