Gogeta locked his hands together and brought them down in a massive axe-handle slam, hammering Vegito Black into the dirt once again.
BOOM!
The horrific impact caused the ground to crack, opening a deep fissure beneath the fake.
"Hmph. You're nothing but a stain on the bodies of Son Goku and Vegeta," Gogeta mocked. "Even after fusing, you can't even draw out half of this body's true power!"
"Tsk, tsk. Gogeta isn't holding back at all," Turles remarked from the sidelines. "Look at poor Vegito Black. He's being dismantled..."
Beside him, Chronoa nodded eagerly. "Exactly! But this is the only way to get some prime blackmail material on Vegito. Just imagine his face when I show him these recordings... it'll be priceless!"
Turles gave Chronoa a long, sideways look. Of all the people to have a death wish, it's you... I'm doing this because Vegeta can't beat me. Are you sure you can handle the real Vegito's temper?
Looking at Chronoa's excited face, Turles opened his mouth to warn her, then thought better of it. He also wanted to see the look on the "King of Flexing's" face when he saw his body being treated like a punching bag.
BOOM!!
A battered and bloodied Vegito Black roared, his aura exploding and shattering the surrounding rubble.
"Damned mortals! Do you even realize what you're doing? You dare to lay hands on a deity? This blasphemy is unforgivable!!"
The handsome face, identical to Vegito's, was now purple and swollen. His expression was warped with a terrifying, primal rage.
Infuriated, Vegito Black pushed his power even further.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
His Rosé aura flared violently, and his power level began to skyrocket once more.
"Tsk. He's reached the Eighth Level of the God Realm?" Turles curled his lip. "Useless. Each level of the God Realm is a world apart."
Zip!
Vegito Black charged again, throwing a punch capable of shattering stars. The pressure of the strike was immense as it closed in on Gogeta.
"Hmph!"
Gogeta snorted. He read the attack's trajectory perfectly, sidestepping the blow and burying a knee deep into Vegito Black's chest.
The force of the impact folded Vegito Black like a lawn chair. He hacked up a spray of blood.
"Gah!"
"Trash will always be trash," Gogeta said coldly. "No matter what skin you wear, it can't hide how filthy your soul is!"
Gogeta sent him spinning away with a roundhouse kick, then immediately pointed his fingers. Thin beams of concentrated energy lanced out, striking Vegito Black with pinpoint precision.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each beam carried terrifying explosive force, puncturing the fake's defenses and making him howl in agony.
"AAAAHHH!"
With a roar of desperation, Vegito Black flared his aura again. He raised both hands high, condensing a massive sphere of dark purple energy. The air around it vibrated with an aura of pure destruction.
"Heh. Going for a final stand? Suits me fine. This farce has gone on long enough!"
Gogeta unleashed his godly ki to its limit. Bringing his hands to his side, he began to charge a brilliant, azure sphere of energy.
"FINAL... KAMEHAME...!!"
The blue light grew blindingly bright as the energy density reached a critical level.
"DIE! Turn to stardust along with this planet!" Vegito Black screamed, hurling the purple sun toward Gogeta.
"HAAA!!!"
Gogeta roared, unleashing the Final Kamehameha. The two massive beams collided in the center of the battlefield.
"YAAARRGH!"
"HAAA!"
As the saying goes, power comes from yelling. Both warriors roared as they poured their entire beings into the struggle.
However, reality was cruel. Given the massive gap in their base strength, the struggle lasted only a heartbeat. Gogeta's blue tide instantly pushed the purple sphere back toward its creator.
"Impossible!! I am the strongest! How can you be more powerful than me? I AM A GOD!!"
Vegito Black's scream of disbelief was swallowed as he was engulfed by the combined force of both attacks.
"AAAAHHHH!"
As the dust settled, Vegito Black appeared before them, his clothes in tatters and his body covered in wounds. He glared at the group with venomous eyes. "Next time! Next time, I will slaughter every last one of you!!"
He raised his hand, the Time Ring beginning to glow. His intention was clear: he was making a run for it.
Turles let out a cold snort. "Escape? You think you can escape? You're really underestimating me, aren't you?"
"Yeah! Do you think we're just statues standing here?" Chronoa chimed in, piggybacking on Turles' authority.
In an instant, the local space-time was locked tight. The Time Ring became a useless piece of jewelry. No matter how much ki Vegito Black channeled into it, the ring refused to activate.
Stunned, Vegito Black finally looked at Turles and Chronoa with realization and fear.
"You... you're the Supreme Kai of Time and the God of Destruction of Time?!"
"Tsk. You should worry more about yourself right now."
"What—?"
Vegito Black's pupils shrank as a grim-faced Gogeta suddenly appeared directly in front of him.
"Hmph. To think you almost slipped away. Since you're so fond of stealing, I'll use this move to purify you once and for all. You disgusting little thief!"
Gogeta raised his left hand, focusing his ki into a unique formation. This attack felt different from a standard ki blast—it hummed with the power of soul erasure.
Hummm!
A small, white sphere condensed in his palm, shimmering with iridescent, rainbow colors like a sparkling miniature star. Vegito Black felt a chill of absolute lethality emanating from that tiny orb, but he no longer had the strength to resist.
"Hah!"
"Soul Punisher!"
Gogeta crushed the sphere, and it transformed into a shower of stardust that rained down upon Vegito Black. As the sparkling light pierced through him, the fake let out a final, soul-shattering wail.
"AAAAHHHHH!"
An instant later, Zamasu's soul was utterly eradicated.
Vegito's body collapsed, falling limp to the ground. Because the attack targeted the soul specifically, the physical shell remained perfectly intact.
Pop!
With the threat eliminated, Gogeta's fusion time expired. Goku and Vegeta separated, reappearing in their base forms.
Vegeta immediately turned to Goku. "Hmph! Kakarot, I am never fusing with you again!"
Goku scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "Aw, don't be like that, Vegeta. You were having a blast out there a minute ago!"
"Hmph!" Vegeta looked away, his typical tsundere pride on full display.
However, his expression soon clouded with conflict. What were they supposed to do with this Vegito's body? Should they just destroy it?
Seeing this, Son Goku also looked troubled. No matter how you looked at it, this was still a body formed from the fusion of himself and Vegeta.
Now that Zamasu's soul had been eradicated, he was at a loss for how to handle the physical shell that remained.
