Battle Against Vados

"Hit, get up! Vegeta is obviously at the end of his rope!"

Champa shouted down below!

Hearing Champa's words, Vegeta clenched his teeth and began struggling to get back up!

"You damn fat pig! How dare you look down on me!"

"I am Vegeta!"

"Vegeta, Prince of the Saiyans!"

Perhaps moved by Vegeta's determination, Hit also gritted his teeth and began forcing himself up!

A few seconds later, Hit actually got to his feet before Vegeta!

"Phew... phew... phew..."

Hit kept gasping for breath!

Vegeta stared at the standing Hit, deeply shocked. He muttered, "I never thought this guy would get up before me. I have to admit, you're strong. I, Vegeta, acknowledge you!

"But I won't admit defeat like this!"

Vegeta braced both hands against the floor and let out a furious roar. Blue energy flared up around him once more as he suddenly surged to his feet!

"Phew... phew... phew..."

Vegeta was also gasping heavily. Clearly, standing up had exhausted every last bit of his strength!

At this moment, neither of them was in good shape!

"Vegeta!"

Goku cried out in alarm!

"Dad!"

Trunks stared at the arena without even blinking!

"That's more like it, Vegeta! Now that's the husband of my Bulma!"

Bulma said through tears, pumping her fist!

"Both of them have reached their limits. Whoever seizes the initiative first may very well win the match!"

Whis murmured!

The next second, Vegeta and Hit both moved. They charged at each other and threw out their fists!

"Haah!!!"

With furious roars, they put every ounce of strength they had into their punches and smashed them toward one another!

"Ughaaah!!!"

Their fists struck each other squarely in the face!

The two staggered backward once again!

Thud!!!

The sound of them hitting the ground rang out loudly!

Everyone around them held their breath!

"Who won?"

Champa asked uncertainly!

Yet everyone wore grave expressions as they stared fixedly at the arena!

The referee immediately rushed onto the arena and carefully checked their conditions!

Both men lay on the ground, gasping for breath!

Then the referee's voice rang out!

"I'll count down from ten. Whoever gets up wins!"

"10... 9... 8... 2... 1..."

With every number the referee called, everyone's hearts were pulled tighter!

But even after the referee finished the ten-second countdown, neither of them got up!

Just as the referee was at a loss, Ōten's figure slowly descended from the resting area onto the arena!

His voice drifted out!

"This martial arts tournament has been a great success. The warriors of Universe 6 and Universe 7 all deserve commendation!"

"Of course, Beerus and Champa have also made great contributions. In light of their diligent work, let bygones be bygones!"

At this, Champa and Beerus both let out quiet sighs of relief!

Because they knew that their positions as Gods of Destruction had finally been secured!

Just then, Ōten's voice sounded again!

"Vados, Whis, can our battle begin now?"

Vados and Whis looked at each other, then smiled before descending onto the arena!

"Big Sister, you should spar with Lord Inspector this time. I have already experienced Lord Ōten's strength!"

Whis said with a smile!

At those words, Vados still wore a smile across her face!

"Whis, you really are something. You're just passing this off to your own sister. What a dear brother you are!"

Whis covered his mouth and smiled without saying a word!

Seeing what the two intended, Ōten frowned, then soon relaxed!

After all, his strength was only at the peak of a first-level Angel, at most equal to Beerus. If he had to face two powerful Angels at once, he would probably lose quickly. But if there was only one, he might still be able to give it a try!

And if his opponent was Vados, perhaps he could dote on her properly!

Thinking this, Ōten said, "In that case, Vados and I will have a match!"

"Whis, I'll leave the two on the arena to you!"

Whis shook his head. He had not expected that he alone would be left to do the grunt work!

Light flashed from his Angel staff, and Vegeta and Hit quickly floated into the air, following him back toward the resting area!

Watching Whis leave, Ōten said softly, "Vados, then let's begin!"

Vados revealed a sweet smile. "As you command, Lord Ōten!"

"How long can Lord Ōten hold out against Vados?"

Beerus murmured!

Hearing that, Whis smiled. "Perhaps Lord Ōten will give us a surprise."

"Haahhh!!!"

Without any hesitation, Ōten immediately powered up, a deep roar continuously rumbling from his throat!

The next second, golden energy erupted from his body!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The entire planet began trembling violently as waves of golden energy battered the air with sharp rustling sounds!

At once, astonishing power burst forth from Ōten's body. Silver-white lightning continuously coiled through the golden aura!

In a mere instant, Ōten transformed into Super Saiyan Four!

But he did not stop. That terrifying energy continued to rise without end!

That overwhelming power seemed to fill all of Universe 6 in an instant!

Yet Vados, standing opposite him, continued watching with a smile!

Gulp!!!

Goku swallowed hard and muttered, "Too... too powerful!!!"

"Lord Ōten's strength can still increase!"

Meanwhile, Piccolo was already dumbfounded, his face incredibly grim!

"You've got to be kidding!"

"That energy is monstrous!"

Beerus, Champa, and Whis all watched Ōten's ever-rising power with solemn expressions!

"Haahhh!!!"

Ōten's roar grew louder and louder!

At the same time, his astonishing power rose again. At that very moment, all of Universe 6 seemed to tremble along with Ōten's roar!

Dark clouds filled the sky, and golden lightning flashed from time to time!

The scene on the arena was as terrifying as the end of the world!

"Haahhh!!!!"

Ōten's hair began turning white, while the golden aura around him grew increasingly fierce!

Crackling sounds rang out without cease!

Strands of lightning like tiny silver snakes continuously wrapped around Ōten's body!

At this moment, Ōten's entire body shone with dazzling light!

"So... so terrifying!"

"Is... is this Lord Ōten's true strength?"

"It's unimaginably powerful! All of Universe 6 is trembling!"

Champa murmured in disbelief!

Because when he had fought Ōten for the first time, Ōten's strength had not been nearly this astonishing. Even if Champa stepped in now, he would likely only be defeated!

That extreme terror and crushing pressure made even Champa swallow hard!

"Ho ho ho!!!"

"Lord Ōten's strength has indeed improved by quite a bit. It seems it won't be easy for Big Sister to win!"

Whis was surprised to discover that Ōten had grown far stronger than when they had fought!

What he did not know was just how much effort Ōten had put into cultivating his base combat power. Coupled with the system's sign-ins, his current strength was only natural!

The stronger his base combat power became, the more terrifying the boost from Super Saiyan 5 would be!

So even if his base combat power improved by only a little, after transforming into Super Saiyan 5, his strength would increase countless times over!

Watching the incomparably terrifying power radiating from Ōten's body!

Vados's expression changed slightly before returning to normal. "Lord Ōten, let us begin!"
