The conflict begins, Vegeta's rage!

As a God of Destruction, he paid Son Goku and Vegeta no regard whatsoever.

After dismissing Son Goku, he turned his gaze to Vegeta.

"Vegeta, I am right here. What are you waiting for?"

"Could it be that I have frightened you out of your wits? Do you dare attack?"

Beerus looked down on Vegeta, paying him no regard whatsoever.

His contemptuous attitude made the anger in Son Goku's heart burn even hotter.

"Hmph~~!!! Beerus, don't think I'm still the same man I was back then."

"I, Vegeta, am the prince of the Saiyans!!!"

The enraged Vegeta let out a hysterical roar, his face twisted. Burning with rage, he wanted only to make Beerus pay.

His muscles tensed, and veins bulged on his forehead. The S-Cells within him gathered at the center of his back at his mental command, then erupted in an instant.

Boom!!!!! His aura exploded, and Vegeta's combat power reached a new level.

A powerful golden aura surged up from beneath Vegeta's feet and spread across his body. Wave after wave of shockwaves swept outward, their violent force reaching the heavens.

The sudden eruption immediately drew the attention of everyone aboard the cruise ship.

People stopped talking and turned their gazes toward the same spot.

By now, Vegeta had transformed into his Super Saiyan Full Power state, unleashing his terrifying aura without the slightest restraint.

"Quite an impressive aura, and your combat power has increased considerably too. If I remember right, this form is called... Super Saiyan, isn't it?" Beerus said impassively, his hands clasped behind his back.

Vegeta was powerful now, but not powerful enough.

That level of combat power was not enough to make him, a God of Destruction, take Vegeta seriously.

That arrogant, indifferent attitude stoked the flames of anger in Vegeta's heart.

"Quit putting on airs, Beerus!! I'll knock you off your high horse for good!!!" With an angry roar, Vegeta attacked.

In the space of 0.1 seconds, he charged in front of Beerus the God of Destruction and threw a heavy punch at his face with all his strength.

"Commendable courage, daring to attack me." Beerus's expression turned cold.

When Vegeta's fist was just one centimeter from Beerus's face, Beerus moved.

He was unimaginably fast. Dodging Vegeta's attack, he silently appeared behind him.

The sudden reversal shocked Son Goku. He spun around and shouted, "Get out of the way, Vegeta!!!"

Vegeta was shocked and sprang into the air with an explosive push of his legs.

But the instant he moved, Beerus moved as well, catching up to Vegeta at an even greater speed.

"Where did that guy go?" Vegeta looked around and found that Beerus the God of Destruction had vanished.

"Vegeta, that guy's behind you!!!" Son Goku shouted to Vegeta from the cruise ship.

"What?!" Sensing that something was terribly wrong, Vegeta was just about to move when he felt something on his shoulder.

"You overconfident brat. It certainly took courage to attack me, but you seem to have forgotten how terrifying a God of Destruction can be." Beerus the God of Destruction rested one hand on Vegeta's right shoulder and smiled mockingly.

"Are you kidding me?!" Unable to bear it any longer, Vegeta roared and spun around, forcing Beerus the God of Destruction back with a heavy punch.

The attack missed again, making Vegeta realize that the power of Super Saiyan 1 alone could not touch Beerus the God of Destruction.

He switched to his Super Saiyan Second Grade Ultimate Form without hesitation. Lightning crackled around him, his aura grew even more chilling, and his combat power underwent a qualitative leap.

"Hm? Your form has changed again, and your combat power has increased considerably too. It seems that you surviving Saiyans have grown quite a bit stronger."

"If I remember right, that form of yours is called Super Saiyan Second Grade, isn't it? Your strength isn't much, but the name is quite a mouthful."

Beerus the God of Destruction kept his hands clasped behind his back, as condescending as ever.

In his eyes, there was no difference between Vegeta in his Super Saiyan form and Vegeta in his Super Saiyan 2 form.

"Shut up!!!" Vegeta erupted again and charged at Beerus the God of Destruction at full speed.

"Foolish brat." Seeing this, Beerus the God of Destruction's gaze turned cold. He perfectly dodged Vegeta's attack and drove his knee into Vegeta's abdomen from the side.

Bang!!! A jarring sound of flesh striking flesh rang out, and even space trembled.

A burst of agonizing pain erupted in Vegeta's abdomen. An unimaginable force spread from his abdomen throughout his body, knocking him back more than ten meters.

Steadying himself, Vegeta gritted his teeth against the pain in his abdomen and glared at Beerus the God of Destruction.

Being toyed with by Beerus again and again only made Vegeta angrier.

But this time, he did not act rashly.

Their brief probing exchange had already shown him how terrifying Beerus the God of Destruction was.

He was not an opponent Vegeta could defeat easily.

On the luxury cruise ship.

Everyone looked up at the battle in midair, somewhat bewildered.

Who was that purple-skinned, long-eared cat?! He had knocked Vegeta in Super Saiyan Second Grade back, so his strength was clearly extraordinary.

Bulma, the host of the birthday party, was dumbfounded.

With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that the two people who had suddenly appeared were not Earthlings.

Could she really be so unlucky that Earth faced another crisis just as she was holding her birthday party?

"Who on earth is that guy? He can actually overpower Vegeta...!!" Krillin, one of the Z Fighters, exclaimed anxiously as he watched the battle in the sky.

"I can't sense their ki... Neither of those two has any ki...!!" Son Gohan's face gradually grew serious. As the third-strongest fighter on Earth at present, his senses were exceptionally keen.

Although he had not trained intensely in recent years, he had not neglected his exercise. His strength had not declined; instead, it had returned to the peak he had once reached.

His battle instincts told him that the two were no ordinary people. The pressure they gave off without a trace was unlike anything he had ever felt.

Who on earth are these two? I can't sense their ki, but the pressure they give off... is even more terrifying than the Supreme Kai's... Could they be gods?! Piccolo, whose other half had once been Earth's Kami, realized a terrifying possibility.

The two who had suddenly descended on Earth were gods! Deities who could rival the Supreme Kai, or even hold a higher position than him!
