"Haaaah!!!"
A deep, thunderous roar burst from Vegeta's mouth as overwhelming energy poured out of his body like a surging river, endless and unstoppable.
Golden ki erupted from within, rising from his feet upward as his presence climbed higher and higher, terrifying power shooting straight into the sky.
"So strong… such terrifying pressure…"
Feeling the immense force rushing toward him head on, Son Gohan forcibly steadied himself and braced for impact.
This unprecedented sensation made every cell in his body tremble uncontrollably.
Staring at Vegeta, Gohan sucked in a sharp breath.
So this was the true power of a Super Saiyan.
Even the pressure before transformation alone made it impossible for him to summon any thought of resistance.
"Is Dad finally going to transform? The real Super Saiyan…"
On the ground, Trunks gazed up at Vegeta, whose body was wrapped in golden light, his eyes filled with awe and reverence.
Since beginning his training under Vegeta's guidance, he had never once seen his father transform.
And now, at last, he was about to witness it.
…
At this moment, Vegeta shone like a rising supernova, dazzling beyond comparison.
Golden hair. Teal eyes.
Super Saiyan First Grade Full Power.
Even though he had compressed all his ki tightly within his body, the sheer pressure alone still blanketed the heavens and the earth.
Even beings with battle power in the billions would lose all will to fight with just a single glance from him.
After all, Vegeta's base form battle power had already reached a terrifying eighty million.
Once transformed into a full power Super Saiyan, his strength skyrocketed to over six billion.
That crushing pressure silently flattened everything in its path.
The two faced each other in midair, countless unspoken thoughts passing between them.
Gohan watched the entire transformation in stunned silence, doing his utmost to sense it, to comprehend it.
Without question, he could clearly feel the immense difference between his Super Saiyan state and Vegeta's.
This realization would be crucial for his future breakthroughs.
Gohan's mindset shifted. He glimpsed a higher realm of power and understood the path he needed to walk.
Almost unconsciously, he bent forward respectfully toward Vegeta.
The uncle and nephew battle seemed, on the surface, to have come to an end.
But in truth, it had not.
"It seems our fight cannot continue. Those two have been drawn here," Vegeta said calmly, turning his gaze to the side.
"Huh?!"
Gohan instantly realized something and spun around.
Not far away stood Android 17 and Android 18, who had arrived just in time.
They had witnessed Vegeta's full Super Saiyan transformation from start to finish.
"Son Gohan… and… Vegeta? How is this possible?!"
Android 17 stared in disbelief, shocked by Vegeta's return.
There was no mistake. This was Vegeta, and he had successfully become a Super Saiyan.
"This guy is still alive? How could that be?! We killed him with our own hands back then!"
Android 18's eyes widened as well, utterly unable to believe what she was seeing.
If not for seeing it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the Vegeta they killed fifteen years ago was standing here alive.
And not only that, he was now a Super Saiyan.
Back then, Vegeta could not transform at all.
The moment they confirmed his identity, the energy detectors installed in their bodies began screaming with warning signals.
This had never happened before.
For a brief moment, both of them were stunned.
Then realization struck.
Right. There had to be something wrong with the detectors.
How could there possibly be someone in this world capable of threatening them?
"Heh… heh heh heh… what perfect timing," Vegeta sneered coldly.
"I had not even gone looking for you, and you delivered yourselves right to me. Since you are here, you might as well stay forever."
A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as he locked onto Android 17 and Android 18.
Just that single gaze sent a violent shock through their minds, momentarily robbing them of control over their bodies.
When it came to enemies, Vegeta never showed mercy.
Even if one of them was Android 18.
To Vegeta, a traveler from another world, Android 18 was someone he might desire.
But this cruel, twisted version from the future timeline held absolutely no appeal for him.
Hummm!!!
A low vibration echoed through the air.
Vegeta raised his hand, locking onto Android 17 and Android 18.
Pale blue light gathered in his palm as incomparable destructive power slowly took shape.
If this attack were released, the two Androids would be erased without a trace.
The gap in strength was simply too vast.
Vegeta had already seen through their power, roughly seven to eight hundred million at most.
As death loomed over them, Android 17 and Android 18 finally regained control of their bodies.
Sensing how terrifying that energy truly was, their expressions changed drastically, instinct screaming at them to flee immediately.
But even if they tried to run, escape was impossible.
Just as Vegeta was about to strike and kill them outright, Son Gohan stepped forward and stopped him.
"Uncle Vegeta, please leave them to me," Gohan said, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"The debt between them and me… it is time to settle it."
"Oh?"
Vegeta paused, studying Gohan thoughtfully. After confirming his resolve, he dispersed the energy in his hand.
"Very well. You can handle it. But do not lose again. With your current strength, if you still cannot defeat them, that would truly disappoint me."
"Do not worry, Uncle Vegeta. I will not let you down. This time, I will go all out and finish them!"
Gohan nodded, the power within him filling him with absolute confidence.
He stepped between Vegeta and Androids 17 and 18.
Having narrowly escaped death, the two Androids were still disoriented.
Then they noticed Gohan's arm, fully restored.
Their eyes went wide.
"How is this possible?! Your arm… how did it grow back?! What happened these past few days?!"
Android 17 was shaken to his core.
"Enough nonsense!" Gohan snapped coldly.
"You Androids turned this world into hell. It is time you paid the price!"
As his words grew heavier, Saiyan energy surged violently within him, erupting outward.
"Pay the price? With just you?" Android 17 sneered.
"Have you forgotten how many times you nearly died by our hands? You should have stayed hidden and clung to your miserable life."
Though wary of Vegeta, he refused to show fear toward Gohan.
"So confident just because your arm is back?" Android 18 said coldly, murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"We destroyed your arm once. We can do it a second time. A third time."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and fired a beam of energy straight at Gohan.
In their previous battles, even she alone had not been able to easily suppress him.
But this time, things were different.
