Vegeta's frustration at his own weakness boiled over once again.
"Hah!"
Vegeta let out a sudden roar. A pillar of silver ki erupted, soaring into the heavens and causing the ground beneath him to cave in instantly.
"You damned bastard, just die already!"
He threw his arms wide, and golden energy spheres condensed in an instant.
"ATATATATATA!"
"Here it comes! The founder of the Prince's Technique has unleashed his signature move once again!"
A torrential rain of golden ki blasts slammed into Vegito Black.
Vegito Black didn't seem to care at all. He stood with his arms crossed, casually dodging the barrage. To him, Vegeta was nothing more than a cornered beast putting up a futile struggle. He didn't feel even a hint of a threat.
After the frantic assault, a thick cloud of dust and smoke billowed from below. The ground had been reduced to a pockmarked wasteland of craters.
Vegeta hung in the air, panting heavily as he stared at the center of the smoke.
"Oh? Is that all? Vegeta, you truly are weak..."
"However, for a mortal to fight me to this extent, I suppose you deserve some small praise."
The classic law of "smoke but no damage" held true once again.
Vegito Black stepped out from the haze, completely unscathed.
Swish!
Vegito Black vanished, reappearing directly in front of Vegeta.
"What?!"
Vegeta's pupils shrank. Before he could react, a heavy kick sent him spiraling away.
"Vegeta!"
Goku's expression shifted. He instantly powered up into Super Saiyan 5, his staggering ki forcing even Vegito Black to pause for a moment.
"As I thought, you can also turn into a silver-furred monkey," Vegito Black noted. "But if Vegeta couldn't touch me, what makes you think you can?"
Goku's face darkened. "Hmph. We'll see about that once I've knocked that smug look off your face!"
"HAAA!"
With a fierce roar, Goku flared his ki and charged straight at Vegito Black.
Watching the two clash, Chronoa shook her head. "A pity. If that Son Goku were at full health, he might actually have a chance against the guy who stole Vegito's body... But when I get back, I'm definitely going to tease Vegito. Who knew even he could have his body stolen one day?"
Turles nodded. "True. But that's just how Saiyans are, isn't it? They never go all out until the very last second."
"Yeah. These guys are strong, but they're way too overconfident..."
Chronoa found herself agreeing with Turles. As the Supreme Kai of Time, most of her Time Patrol recruits were Saiyans. She knew their temperaments all too well.
"Wait a second. Are you going to step in? Or is your wife going to handle it?"
Chronoa had noticed Bulma's change the moment she arrived. How long had it been? This woman had become incredibly powerful. Was she actually using that Zamasu guy to practice the Divine Techniques of a God of Destruction of Time?
Turles shook his head. "No, I have a better idea... How about we let Gogeta fight Vegito?"
Chronoa's eyes lit up with interest. "Gogeta versus Vegito? Now that's a fight I've never seen. But are you sure you can get Vegeta to perform that shameful dance?"
Turles gave a mysterious smirk. "Of course. That's Jobber-ta for you. I've got plenty of dirt on him. If he doesn't want Tights to find out about certain things, he'll agree."
"Oh? Dirt?"
"Naturally." Turles pulled out his smartphone and showed Chronoa a collection of photos—various shots of Vegeta being pummeled and humiliated across different battles.
"Kekekeke... I don't think Vegeta wants Tights to see his 'heroic' moments like these."
Chronoa couldn't help but laugh along. "Ke—cough. You almost lured me into your villainous laugh. But are you sure this will work?"
Turles nodded, the corners of his mouth curling upward. "Vegeta has changed..."
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it. Gogeta vs. Vegito... Even if this Vegito is a fake, if I record him getting thrashed and show it to the real Vegito later... Kekekeke..."
And just like that, the cute, soft-hearted Supreme Kai of Time was corrupted by Turles in just a few sentences.
Turles: Wait, me? That's slander! You're slandering me! Look at her slandering me!
Back in the sky, Vegito Black sent Goku flying with a powerful strike.
"Heh. Son Goku, you were never my match. This world will eventually be mine to rule! I... am the Absolute God!"
Chronoa blinked in shock. "Is this guy for real? He's acting like the Grand Minister and Grand Zeno don't even exist... Isn't this a bit much?"
"Who knows?" Turles replied.
Turles was also a bit puzzled. Logically, Zamasu should know about Zeno and the Grand Minister. Did he kill the Supreme Kai of Universe 10 before he could be told? Or was he just that delusional?
"Cough! Cough!"
Goku stood up shakily, his eyes locked on Vegito Black.
"Hmph! Zamasu, your plan will never succeed!"
"Hmph! The desperate wails of a loser. You don't have the strength to stop me!"
Vegito Black looked down at Goku and Vegeta with pure disdain.
Suddenly, Turles appeared right in front of the two Saiyans.
"Hmm? A face identical to Son Goku's... Are you another Son Goku? No, your essence belongs to the gods. Are you a deity?" Vegito Black narrowed his eyes.
Turles ignored him completely. He turned to Goku and Vegeta.
"Kakarot, Vegeta. I have a plan that will let you absolutely dominate that guy."
Goku and Vegeta were immediately intrigued. After being beaten so badly, they were desperate for payback.
"Turles, what do you have in mind? I'm not letting that bastard get away with this!" Vegeta asked impatiently.
"Hey! Are you just going to ignore me?"
Vegito Black's face darkened. Seeing that he was being completely disregarded, he raised a hand and fired an energy sphere.
Without even looking, Turles swatted the blast away with the back of his hand.
"Just fuse with Kakarot," Turles said. "You two are the originals. Are you really afraid you can't beat a knockoff?"
Then, Turles glared at Vegito Black. "Also, I'm busy right now. Shut up."
Turles suddenly unleashed a massive surge of Divine Might. In an instant, Vegito Black went silent, his body freezing in place.
His expression became contorted with rage and confusion. Why? Why would such a powerful god side with mortals?
"Fuse? How?" Vegeta froze. Then, he remembered how Trunks and Goten looked when they were messing around...
"No way! That dance is too shameful!!"
