The Final Flash seemed to have drained the last ounce of Vegeta's strength.
He landed on the ground, his left hand supporting his right shoulder, his breathing as heavy as a bellows.
At this moment, Vegeta was incredibly weak, at the end of his rope.
The intense light finally dissipated.
Dabura was constantly puffing his cheeks and blowing on his palms, which had been scorched by the Qi flames.
He looked at Vegeta, who could barely stand, and said with a cold sneer:
"Good grief, you actually managed to injure me. Are you the strongest among them? That's truly a pity."
As he spoke, he walked toward Vegeta step by step.
Vegeta's eyelids were heavy, and he saw double as Dabura approached him.
"D-Damn it, how could I, Vegeta, be defeated like this? I haven't lost yet..."
"Hahaha, unfortunately, your strength isn't as tough as your mouth."
Dabura laughed loudly, quickened his pace, and with Qi flames erupting from his body, he charged forward.
Is it over?
Vegeta was so unwilling to accept this.
Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air and sent the charging, life-seeking Dabura flying with a single kick.
Dabura tumbled several times in the air before crashing into a Weathered Rock, which instantly exploded into gravel that flew everywhere.
Dabura leaped up, his face filled with shock.
Who was it?
Such powerful strength.
He looked up and found a blond youth with a sword on his back, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
That kick just now had made him feel the aura of death.
This guy... I couldn't tell he had such tyrannical strength.
"Father, a Senzu Bean." Trunks pulled out a Senzu Bean and threw it to Vegeta.
Gohan had given Trunks two Senzu Beans, and he had been carrying them with him.
Although the cultivated Senzu Beans weren't mature yet, there were 4 seeds left, so Gohan had given Trunks two beans.
Vegeta didn't expect Trunks to have a Senzu Bean, but now wasn't the time to think about that; he caught it and ate it.
Son Goku, watching from the side, suddenly became anxious.
"Ah, Trunks, you're breaking the rules! It's supposed to be my turn!"
"Shut up, Kakarot! I will be the one to finish this guy off; I haven't lost yet!"
Having eaten the Senzu Bean and recovered his strength—even becoming stronger—Vegeta retorted.
"Vegeta, you're cheating," Son Goku said, very dissatisfied.
Trunks also frowned and said, "Father, let me go and kill him."
To let Vegeta fight 1v1, the time had already been dragged out for quite a while.
Trunks couldn't stand it anymore.
"Trunks, you get lost to the side too."
Trunks:...Fine, fine, he's my father.
Trunks hypnotized himself, suppressed his anger, and retreated to his original position.
Just then...
Vegeta's face suddenly became distorted; he clutched his head with both hands and then knelt down.
"Aaaaaah~"
In just an instant, sweat beads rolled down his forehead as he showed an expression of extreme pain.
At this moment, veins bulged all over Vegeta's body, and he was drenched in sweat.
"Th-This... Father, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that things were not right, Trunks flew over again, wanting to help Vegeta up.
As a result, caught off guard, he was sent flying by a punch from the suddenly berserk Vegeta.
Vegeta stood up, trembling all over, and then let out a "Hahaha" laugh.
His entire Qi expanded and climbed continuously.
He soon broke through the limits of Super Saiyan 1.
After a few breaths, his whole body was surrounded by crackling lightning, and he successfully advanced to Super Saiyan 2.
"Hahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
His laughter was wanton, as if his beastly nature had returned.
Piccolo and Son Goku, watching the battle, felt as if they were seeing the Vegeta from when he first invaded Earth.
"W-What's going on? What happened to Vegeta?" the Supreme Kai asked in surprise.
Piccolo was also stunned and said, "Vegeta actually made a Breakthrough on the spot and turned into a Super Saiyan 2? Incredible."
"No, Vegeta's Qi isn't right; it's too violent," Son Goku said, frowning.
As for Gohan, he naturally knew what was going on.
Vegeta had been Demonized by Babidi.
By using the demonization to enhance his power, he forcibly broke through the limits of Super Saiyan 2.
It could be said to be a blessing in disguise.
This battle wasn't fought in vain; it tempered his combat power and allowed him to break through his Realm.
Moreover, Vegeta was not that easy to control.
Now, the 'M' symbol on Vegeta's forehead was becoming clearer and clearer; this was the sign of having been Demonized.
At this moment, a shrill voice rang out.
"Vegeta, stop fighting Dabura! Go and kill that Supreme Kai fellow for me!"
It was Babidi; he had flown back and was hiding behind a Weathered Rock.
"Sh-Shut up..." Vegeta turned his head with difficulty, looking in Babidi's direction.
"W-What? You actually dare to disobey my command?" Babidi found it unbelievable.
People who were Demonized by him were, logically speaking, unable to defy his orders; otherwise, they would suffer a splitting headache, or in severe cases, a massive brain hemorrhage, making them unable to act normally at all.
"Go and kill the Supreme Kai!" Babidi didn't believe it and commanded Vegeta again.
"Ngh~"
Vegeta knelt down again, pounding the ground hard with both hands.
"Sh-Shut up! Shut your mouth! How could I possibly follow your orders? I am the noble Saiyan Prince, you lowly reptile..."
"Aaaaaah..."
Vegeta suddenly stood up in a rage, the aura of Super Saiyan 2 completely released, and the ground beneath him cracked and spread out in a spiderweb pattern with a series of snaps.
Babidi was dumbfounded; this was the first time he had seen such a person.
Not far away, Trunks looked at Vegeta with a complex gaze.
His father's pride was strong beyond his expectations.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Kai's pupils constricted as he said, "Babidi. It's Babidi who is controlling Vegeta."
Son Goku glanced at him, his expression saying, 'Even I could see that, Lord Supreme Kai.'
There was no need to state what everyone already knew.
"Kill him. I'm going to kill Babidi," the Supreme Kai said.
As the Supreme Kai spoke, he had already soared into the sky, flying toward Babidi's direction.
Gohan shouted from behind, "Lord Supreme Kai, be careful!"
Just then, the battle between Vegeta and Dabura resumed.
After transforming into Super Saiyan 2, Vegeta's power had been significantly enhanced.
Dabura was momentarily forced onto the defensive, narrowly escaping death.
"Pah!"
Dabura suddenly spat at Vegeta. Vegeta raised his hand to block it, and the spit smeared onto his white glove.
Then, Vegeta was shocked to find that his glove was rapidly petrifying.
"Hmph, filthy thing."
Vegeta quickly pulled off the glove and threw it on the ground.
With a crack...
The glove shattered into pieces... Meanwhile, on the other side, the Supreme Kai, who had gone to attack Babidi, suddenly came flying back, coughing up blood.
"Ah, what's wrong? Lord Supreme Kai?" Kibito was shocked.
He reached out to catch the Supreme Kai and cast a Healing Spell on him.
The Supreme Kai soon recovered, but he looked toward Babidi's hiding place with a face full of lingering fear.
"B-Babidi has another helper."
"A helper? Aren't Dabura the only one of Babidi's subordinates left?" Kibito asked in surprise.
"As I thought..."
"I sensed a bit of an unusual aura just now; I didn't expect there to be another guy who could hide his presence..."
"Father, Uncle Piccolo, let's go take a look."
Gohan took to the air.
Son Goku and Piccolo followed closely behind.
The three of them flew toward Babidi's direction.
Seeing the three of them leave, Kibito asked the Supreme Kai, "What about us?"
"Let's just stay here; let's not go and be a burden to them."
By this time, the Supreme Kai had gained a clear understanding of his own strength.
He was just a bystander commentator.
Gohan and the other two flew in the air, looking down at Babidi's hiding place.
They found that Babidi was currently being held up by the neck with one hand by someone.
Babidi was struggling frantically in the air.
"F-Is that Frieza?" Piccolo's eyes widened as he looked at the ground in disbelief.
"It's not Frieza," Gohan shook his head.
