Vegeta didn't bother responding to Piccolo at all. He transformed into a streak of blue light and charged rapidly toward Broly.
A moment ago, Vegeta had vanished in a flash, leaving Broly a bit bewildered and searching for him. Seeing Vegeta suddenly turn blue, Broly was momentarily stunned, a flicker of confusion appearing in his vacant eyes.
Why did this person change color? Did I beat him so hard that he's changing colors to camouflage himself?
However, none of this stopped Broly from continuing his assault on Vegeta.
WHOOSH!
Broly leaped from the ground, charging rapidly toward Vegeta.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The two engaged in a fierce aerial confrontation. Vegeta was initially able to resist Broly's attacks, but after several rounds, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
BAM!
Vegeta delivered a heavy slap that landed squarely on Broly's face, leaving a red mark. A deep hatred surged in Broly's vacant eyes. He reached forward, grabbed the back of Vegeta's head, and delivered a massive headbutt.
Vegeta was horrified and raised his hand to shield his face.
THUD!
With a dull thud, Broly's forehead slammed into Vegeta's hand, the immense force transferring to his face.
"AH..."
Vegeta let out a cry of pain, feeling like his whole world was falling apart. At the same time, he was filled with shock.
How is this guy so strong? I've already turned Super Saiyan Blue! Can I still not defeat him? I'm not willing to accept this! How could I, Vegeta, lose to this guy!
BAM!
Vegeta delivered a kick that landed directly on Broly's chest. Broly was sent flying backward, but he didn't stay idle. He opened his mouth and began condensing an energy blast.
WHOOSH!
Broly fired an energy blast from his mouth, which hurtled toward Vegeta at extreme speed.
"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted, raising his hand and catching Broly's energy blast with raw strength. Then, with a forceful squeeze, he crushed the energy blast into nothingness. The energy dispersed across the Sacred World of the Kai, falling like scattered starlight.
However, the moment Vegeta let down his guard, Broly charged again, launching a fierce assault. Vegeta parried for a few rounds but was once again overwhelmed.
BAM!
In the next moment, Vegeta was punched away by Broly.
BOOM!
Vegeta crashed headfirst into the ground, tumbling several times before finally coming to a halt.
"No, Father is completely no match for him!" Trunks' expression changed repeatedly.
Goku: "..."
A brief silence followed.
"Gohan, go help out," Goku called to Gohan.
Gohan quietly wiped some sweat. Me, go deal with Broly? I feel like I'm in a bit of danger!
Deep down, Gohan was terrified of Broly. After all, when Goku had brought him here to train before, they had sparred with Broly several times, and Gohan had been beaten black and blue every time. Almost every time, it was Goku who had to step in and knock Broly unconscious to end his rampage.
"Gohan, Father thinks your Beast Form might not necessarily lose to Broly. Go on, with confidence," Goku said, patting Gohan on the shoulder.
Piccolo also rubbed Gohan's head with an affectionate look.
"Alright, I understand. I'll give it a try," Gohan nodded solemnly and stepped forward.
"Good luck, Gohan," Goku cheered him on.
"Yes, Father!" Deep blue aura flashed around Gohan, red lightning crackled, and his hair stood high, turning silver-white as he immediately activated his Beast Form.
WHOOSH!
Gohan transformed into a streak of light, flying toward Broly and Vegeta at extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside them.
"Broly, stop it! You're not allowed to bully Uncle Vegeta!" Gohan shouted.
As he spoke, Gohan delivered a powerful kick that landed squarely on Broly's cheek.
WHOOSH!
Broly was sent flying backward in a straight line, quickly vanishing from sight.
Vegeta: "..."
What the hell do you mean "not allowed to bully Uncle Vegeta"! This Gohan kid!
"Uncle Vegeta, are you alright?" Gohan asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Vegeta gritted his teeth, trying his best to act as if it didn't hurt.
Gohan's mouth twitched. Uncle Vegeta, you're in so much pain, and you say you're fine?
"Father, are there any Senzu Beans left?" Gohan shouted at the top of his lungs.
WHOOSH!
Goku used Instant Transmission, appearing on the scene in a flash and pulling out a bag of Senzu Beans.
"Eh? Isn't that Uncle Krillin's Senzu Bean bag? Why is it in Father's hand?" Gohan was momentarily taken aback.
"Hehe, I thought these Senzu Beans might be very useful, so I just happened to take them from Krillin," Goku chuckled.
With that, Goku pulled out a Senzu Bean and tossed it directly to Vegeta. Vegeta was indeed quite badly injured, beaten black and blue to the point where it was hard to look at him. He really didn't want to take the Senzu Bean. He felt that by eating it, he would have completely lost this battle.
But after thinking it over, he realized he had lost to Broly, not Kakarot. So there was no psychological burden. Besides, he couldn't just lose to Broly like this. He, Vegeta, had to defeat him.
After a moment of internal struggle, Vegeta caught the Senzu Bean and popped it into his mouth. Instantly, his injuries healed at a visible rate.
"Vegeta, let Gohan fight," Goku suggested.
After all, Goku had fought Broly hundreds of times. Whenever he was free, Goku would spar with Broly. Otherwise, Goku's strength wouldn't have reached its current height. So Goku really wanted to let Broly and his son Gohan spar, and also see how powerful Gohan's Beast Form had become.
I feel like... Gohan's Beast Form is almost catching up to my Super Saiyan 5, Goku thought with emotion. Gohan is just too incredible, jumping directly from his Ultimate Form to the Beast Form. It's like me jumping from Super Saiyan 3 directly to Super Saiyan 5. This power increase is unparalleled.
"Hmph, that's not necessary!" Vegeta snorted, feeling increasingly displeased.
"Eh? Vegeta, you're not going to keep fighting, are you?" Goku was taken aback, understanding Vegeta's intent.
"Of course. This time, I won't lose to Broly again," Vegeta snorted, clenching his fists tightly, his expression growing more solemn.
"Vegeta, do you have another transformation?" Goku asked with surprise and anticipation.
"No... but I can push my Blue power to its absolute limit," Vegeta gritted his teeth, his voice low.
"Pushing the Blue power to its limit? That's truly remarkable, Vegeta!" Goku praised repeatedly.
"Hmph!" Vegeta snorted, ignoring Goku and casting a deep look at Gohan.
This kid's Beast Form is no joke! He sent Broly flying with a single kick? Broly has flown out of sight! You can see how much power was in that kick!
"But speaking of which, Kakarot, has this guy Broly always been this reckless? He's completely lost control!" Vegeta looked into the distance and asked casually.
"Yeah, once he becomes like this, he loses control entirely," Goku nodded.
"What do you usually do? Just let him run wild in the Sacred World of the Kai?" Vegeta asked again.
Before Goku could speak, Gohan answered for his father.
"No, Uncle Vegeta," Gohan replied. "Usually, Father defeats him. The best way is to knock him unconscious. Once Uncle Broly wakes up and returns to his normal state, he's actually quite cute."
"You... what did you say?" Vegeta's pupils shrank, feeling an immense shock.
"Yeah, Uncle Broly really has a cute side," Gohan scratched his head, answering shyly. "So Uncle Vegeta, please don't use too much force. It's a good thing you held back just now; it wouldn't be good if you killed Uncle Broly!"
Vegeta fell silent, not saying another word. At the same time, a look of deep thought appeared on his proud face.
Kakarot can defeat Broly? Then just how strong is Kakarot?
"Will that guy keep getting stronger?" Vegeta asked again.
"This is pretty much the limit for this stage," Goku answered, scratching his head.
"This stage?" Vegeta gave a self-deprecating smile.
No wonder Kakarot has become so powerful. It turns out he's been fighting this Broly guy all along. No, I can't lose either!
BOOM!
Suddenly, a dark green orb of light erupted in the distant sky. Powerful energy surged wildly in the distance.
"Not good, Broly's power has increased again!" Goku's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but cry out.
Vegeta: "..."
"It's okay, the increase this time isn't as much as before," Goku focused his senses, analyzed it briefly, and took a deep breath.
Seeing Kakarot's expression, Vegeta suddenly realized one thing: Kakarot must have the ability to defeat Broly.
No, I absolutely cannot lose to him!
"Don't interfere!" Blue aura erupted from Vegeta as he flew rapidly toward Broly.
"Father... look..." Gohan was completely at a loss. Uncle Vegeta wouldn't let them interfere.
"Let's go take a look first," Goku suggested. Gohan nodded, not objecting.
Then, Goku and Gohan followed behind Vegeta, flying toward Broly.
"Let's go take a look too," Piccolo said to Videl.
"Yes, Green Uncle!" Videl nodded immediately.
Piccolo: "..." Calling me "Green Uncle" is a bit much.
Trunks quietly wiped some sweat. Piccolo grabbed Videl's small hand and took flight. Trunks followed behind.
Soon, Goku and the others appeared in the area where Broly was. At this moment, dark green light surged all over Broly's body, his hair stood high, dark green lightning crackled around him, and his pupils had completely lost their color. At the same time, Broly was headbutting the ground with all his might. The ground shook under Broly's impact, and several bottomless pits had appeared.
"Father, what is he doing?" Gohan was a bit confused.
"Maybe he can't find an opponent and is getting anxious," Goku guessed, scratching his head.
Gohan: "..."
Vegeta: "..."
Sure enough, just as Goku and the others finished speaking, Broly suddenly snapped out of it and turned to look coldly in their direction. He had finally found someone! Broly immediately focused his hateful gaze on Vegeta. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: Was it you who kicked me just now?
"Hmph, come on, Broly!" Vegeta snorted and landed opposite Broly. Then, Vegeta took a deep breath.
FLASH!
The blue aura around Vegeta suddenly vanished.
"Eh?" Goku was slightly taken aback, seemingly sensing something.
"The blue light around Uncle Vegeta has disappeared!" Gohan added thoughtfully.
Just then, Piccolo arrived on the scene with Videl and Trunks, also witnessing Vegeta's new change.
"This is internalizing the Super Saiyan Blue energy within the body to better prevent it from leaking out," Vegeta explained to the group without looking back.
Vegeta hadn't originally intended to use this form. It was because Kakarot was the first to use the internalized Super Saiyan Blue. In his previous life, while fighting the fused Zamasu, Goku and Vegeta had to fuse into Vegito using the Potara earrings. And Vegito, having turned Super Saiyan Blue, indeed possessed incredibly powerful strength, beating the fused Zamasu to the point where he couldn't fight back.
Just as they were about to completely eliminate the fused Zamasu, Goku and Vegeta suddenly separated. It wasn't that the fusion time had run out, but that the energy of the two was simply too strong for the Potara earrings to withstand. Then, Goku and Vegeta were severely disciplined by the fused Zamasu. At that time, there were no more Senzu Beans. Goku and Vegeta's energy was also exhausted, and they were no match for the fused Zamasu.
Fortunately, during that period, Trunks had become a disciple of the Supreme Kai and possessed healing abilities. Trunks wanted to heal his father, Vegeta. But Vegeta refused. Because Vegeta clearly sensed that during the fusion just now, the strength Kakarot displayed was even greater. So Vegeta wanted Trunks to heal Goku. Trunks naturally didn't object and used his healing technique to fully restore Goku's stamina and injuries.
The restored Goku then used the internalized Super Saiyan Blue to beat the fused Zamasu to the point of questioning his existence. But later, the fused Zamasu used a time machine—one from the Twelfth Universe—to summon thousands of versions of his fused self to surround and suppress Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta was unfortunately killed at that time. After all, Vegeta had very little energy left and was already heavily injured.
Now, Vegeta was using the internalized Super Saiyan Blue that Goku had used in his previous life.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
Broly let out a series of roars and charged rapidly toward Vegeta, launching a flurry of punches and kicks. Vegeta took a combat stance and began a new round of resistance. It must be said that after Vegeta activated the internalized Super Saiyan Blue, his strength indeed increased significantly.
However, this was only the beginning. Vegeta had only parried for less than 20 seconds before he began to feel overwhelmed. Feeling the immense pressure Broly brought, several veins popped on Vegeta's forehead, and his whole body shook with rage.
Can I really not even defeat one Broly? It's one thing to lose to the Kakarot of my previous life. How can I not even compare to the Kakarot of this life? I'm not willing to accept this!
Vegeta let out a roar and began fighting recklessly. The result was predictable.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
After several rounds of confrontation, the blue aura around Vegeta erupted again. Vegeta was no longer in the internalized Super Saiyan Blue form.
BAM!
Broly delivered a massive headbutt directly to Vegeta's face. Vegeta let out a cry of pain, feeling like his face was about to be ground flat.
How is this bastard so strong? Can Kakarot really defeat Broly with just his Super Saiyan 4? I just don't believe it!
"Father!" Trunks couldn't take it anymore, let out a shout, and rushed rapidly toward Broly.
BAM!
Trunks had already turned into a Super Saiyan God and delivered a kick to Broly's face. Broly's body only trembled slightly, and then he looked at Trunks expressionlessly. Trunks' face changed repeatedly.
My full-power strike didn't cause even a bit of damage to this guy? How can this be?
BAM!
Broly grabbed Trunks' ankle and used his body as a weapon, slamming him into Vegeta. The father and son collided, letting out cries of pain.
"Gohan, quick!" Goku called to Gohan.
"Al... alright, Father," Gohan nodded, activating his Beast Form once again.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Broly continued to use Trunks to beat Vegeta. Piccolo couldn't even bear to look. Too tragic! This is the most tragic thing in history. Broly, are you trying for a double kill?
BAM!
Gohan stepped forward and delivered a heavy punch directly to Broly's stomach. Broly grimaced in pain.
"Uncle Broly, let's have a match," Gohan grinned, his silver hair fluttering.
"ROAR..."
Broly let out a roar, his hatred immediately drawn. He tossed Trunks aside and charged rapidly toward Gohan.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
In the next moment, Gohan and Broly engaged in a fierce confrontation in the Sacred World of the Kai. For a time, Gohan actually held an overwhelming advantage, beating Broly to the point where he couldn't fight back.
Vegeta's pupils shrank violently, his expression changing constantly.
Is this a joke? Is Beast Gohan this powerful? The Broly I couldn't defeat is being overwhelmingly dominated by Gohan? How can this be? Has all my hard training over the years been in vain?
Trunks was also dumbfounded. Is this Master Gohan's Beast Form? This is just too strong! My Super Saiyan God and Father's Super Saiyan Blue are completely no match for Broly. Didn't Father say that God is the ultimate path for Saiyans?
At this moment, Trunks' heart began to waver. It seemed that following the power system wasn't such a big problem after all. Just look at the current Broly and Master Gohan.
BAM!
Gohan delivered a kick that landed squarely on Broly's cheek. Broly stumbled back several steps, baring his teeth at Gohan, growing increasingly infuriated.
"Sorry, Uncle Broly," Gohan grinned and charged again, launching a fierce assault.
Although Uncle Broly's energy isn't at its peak right now, defeating him with my own hands has always been my dream. Back then, even when I activated my Ultimate Form, I was no match for a weakened Uncle Broly. I would be beaten until I couldn't stop wailing. Now, I can actually settle the score with an Uncle Broly who has consumed 20% of his stamina, and even surpass him.
Gohan's heart was racing. After several more rounds of confrontation...
WHOOSH!
Gohan appeared behind Broly in a flash and delivered a heavy palm strike to the back of his neck. Broly instantly lost consciousness, his mind going blank.
THUD!
Broly fell forward, his body going limp as he collapsed to the ground, knocked out cold. As Broly lost consciousness, the dark green aura around him dissipated, and he returned to his normal state.
"Phew..." Gohan let out a long sigh of relief. "It's finally over! But at least I managed to knock Uncle Broly out."
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's expression grew increasingly grim. Although Gohan had fought a Broly who had consumed some energy, the fact that Gohan could defeat him meant his strength had already far surpassed Vegeta's. Earlier, Vegeta had eaten a Senzu Bean and was at full health. Even so, he was still no match for Broly. And he probably hadn't consumed much of Broly's energy.
"Gohan, you're a natural!" Goku was pleasantly surprised and praised his son highly. Gohan scratched his head shyly, giving a silly grin.
"Gohan, you're amazing!" A look of admiration appeared on Videl's cute face.
"It's... it's nothing," Gohan said, blushing and scratching his head.
"Gohan!" Piccolo stepped forward and rubbed Gohan's head.
Vegeta: "..."
I've completely lost to this father and son again! As a reincarnator! How did I, Vegeta, lose again? I'm not willing to accept this! No, my training is far from enough! I must find a way to keep getting stronger! If I can master that Ultra Instinct Whis mentioned... I can definitely defeat Kakarot and Gohan! Once I get back, I'll have to find a way to contact Whis as soon as possible!
