"Vegeta-san really is a warrior as powerful as my dad."
"Thank goodness, that really gave us a scare just now."
"Gohan, didn't you feel that aura from Vegea? The battle isn't over yet."
Son Goku said this, and with his reminder, Gohan and the others couldn't help but have a change of expression.
Indeed, that aura from Vegea hadn't disappeared.
Not only had it not disappeared, it hadn't even weakened in the slightest!
Even after taking such a powerful attack!!!
At the same time, on the battlefield below—
"Huff... huff..."
Having expended quite a bit of energy, Vegeta was panting heavily.
He'd taken quite a beating from that damn woman earlier, and then gave her a fierce counterattack himself—finally putting him in a better mood.
Due to that ki blast just now, the arena was blasted into a massive trench. As the dust settled, a figure slowly emerged from within it.
Crack!! Crackle!!
Electric sparks continuously flickered across her body—it was Vegea!
"What?!"
Even though he knew she hadn't been defeated, seeing Vegea walk out with just a few scrapes still shocked Vegeta.
That attack had been unleashed with his full strength! And it only caused that little damage?
What a joke!!!
"That last strike wasn't bad."
"Let's continue our fight."
Standing opposite Vegeta, Vegea said expressionlessly.
Although she hadn't sustained serious injuries, the danger she felt from that last attack was far beyond what it appeared to be.
She still greatly disliked this guy, but she would at least acknowledge his strength!
"Hmph, I would've continued regardless of what you said!"
Extremely annoyed, Vegeta snorted coldly in reply.
Without any more words, the two burst forth with energy and once again charged toward each other...
On the other side of the arena, Yuujin withdrew his gaze, a slight smirk playing at his lips.
"As expected, how interesting—Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan Blue."
From watching the battle between Vegea and Universe 7's Vegeta, Yuujin had more or less figured out the strengths and weaknesses of Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan Blue.
Super Saiyan 4 was a development of the Saiyan bloodline itself—a transformation derived from the Golden Great Ape, evolving into a more humanoid ape-form Saiyan. Its physical prowess was overwhelming, clearly surpassing Super Saiyan Blue in both offensive and defensive power, with a very obvious advantage in close combat and melee fights.
However, Super Saiyan Blue had its own merits. Its divine energy was clearly superior to normal ki, which gave it an advantage in ranged combat and energy beam duels.
In other words, if Yuujin and the others were to fight Goku and the others from Universe 7 later, it would be better to engage them in close combat rather than long-distance ki clashes!
But since Yuujin could see this, Goku and the others would too—so when the real battle comes, it would all depend on adaptability and personal skill.
Vegea and Vegeta were evenly matched, and it was unlikely either would win or lose quickly.
Hopefully, they'd both exercise some restraint and not burn all their energy before the match ends, resulting in mutual destruction and giving other universes a free advantage.
"Yuujin, we won!"
Just then, Gokumi came bouncing back happily.
Casseral, K'nsi, and Kettel from Universe 11 had already been defeated by Gokumi and the others and were lying groaning on the ground, unable to continue.
"Good job."
"Chi-Chi, Broly—throw them off the stage."
Patting Gokumi on her little head, Yuujin turned to Chi-Chi and Broly and said.
They nodded. Chi-Chi and Broly each grabbed one of the three and tossed them all off the arena.
"Universe 11's contestant Kasheral—eliminated."
"Universe 11's contestant K'nsi—eliminated."
"Universe 11's contestant Kettel—eliminated."
"Damn you, Universe 13!!!"
The Grand Priest announced the three eliminations, while Universe 11's God of Destruction Belmod furiously slammed his fist down in frustration.
Damn Universe 13—how could they lose three fighters all at once!?
"Lord Belmod, I think you'd better pay attention to the other side—our remaining fighters are in a tough spot too," said Angel Marcarita.
Belmod's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly looked to the other side.
Elsewhere on the arena, Universe 11's Dyspo, Tupper, and Zoire were engaging Caulifla and Kale under Toppo's orders, and both sides were locked in a fierce ki-blast battle at a critical moment.
Belmod frowned deeply. Weren't those two Saiyan girls from Universe 6 heavily injured in their fight against Universe 13? Shouldn't they be at their weakest? They've been on the back foot this whole time. Why did Marcarita say they're in a bad situation?
But soon, Belmod realized something, and his expression changed dramatically.
"Kale, hang in there."
"You're my partner—my proudest little sister. No matter where we are, always stay by my side!"
Struggling to block the enemy's ki blasts, Caulifla shouted.
Kale, who had unknowingly transformed into a Super Saiyan again, was filled with excitement and emotion.
She had always been timid and weak, always hiding behind big sister Caulifla. But seeing Caulifla's unwavering confidence always made her feel she too could be brave.
But she couldn't keep relying on her sister's protection—she wanted to fight alongside her!
"Yes, Sis!"
Having made up her mind, Kale closed her eyes.
Just like Mr. Yuujin told her—don't reject your power. Accept it, then control it!
"Ahhhh..."
"HAHHHHHH!!!!"
Her body suddenly expanded, and her golden hair and aura shifted into green—Kale had once again transformed into the legendary Super Saiyan!
But unlike last time, she retained her rationality—no more berserking!
"I knew it—Kale, I knew you could do it!"
"But I won't lose either—HAHH!!"
With Kale awakening her power again, Caulifla also ramped up her energy output. The two of them turned the tables, pushing their ki blasts forward, smashing straight toward the three from Universe 11.
"What?!"
"Ahhhhhh—!!!"
Shocked and terrified, Tupper and Zoire screamed as they were blasted off the stage by the overwhelming energy. Only Dyspo, using his instant acceleration, barely managed to avoid the same fate.
"Hahaha…"
"See our power now, you bastards from Universe 11?!"
With that one blow of victory, Caulifla laughed loudly.
"Damn Saiyans—you hurt my comrades again! I won't let you get away with this!"
Enraged beyond measure, Dyspo flashed to Caulifla in an instant and punched her flying.
"Don't you hurt my sister!!!"
Kale let out a beast-like roar and countered with a punch of her own.
Sensing danger, Dyspo quickly dodged, barely avoiding the attack—only for a massive crater to appear where he'd just been standing.
"Chh—this monster!"
Dyspo flashed to a distance, his face grim.
That Saiyan girl Kale had turned into that monster form again. With no backup, continuing to fight alone would only end in disaster.
Though extremely unwilling, Dyspo made the smart decision to retreat:
"You Saiyans of Universe 6—we won't forgive you for hurting our comrades. Just you wait!"
With a harsh threat, Dyspo vanished in a flash…
To be continued…
