“Vegeta…”
Watching Jiren walk away, Goku finally dared to call out. But just as he took a step forward, his entire body trembled slightly.
The God Ki within him seemed to have been stimulated by something, forcibly stopping him in his tracks.
“Th-This feeling… could it be…” Goku realized that, for some reason, his arms were trembling uncontrollably.
And the source of this trembling was none other than Vegeta, who had just been overwhelmingly suppressed by Jiren.
The arrogant Jiren strode heavily toward Talot.
The warm-up was over. Now, it was time for the real battle to begin.
“That guy has already been defeated. There is no longer anyone who can interfere with our battle, Saiyan of Universe 7,” Jiren said in a low voice, blazing fighting intent burning in his eyes.
His battle with Vegeta had already awakened the fighting genes within him. At this moment, Jiren was almost unable to suppress the scorching flames deep within his heart.
“You’re so sure Vegeta has lost? You’d better take another good look before making such a casual conclusion.” Talot pointed toward the area where Vegeta had fallen, signaling for Jiren to turn around.
Hearing this, Jiren frowned and subconsciously turned around. What entered his sight made him feel incredulous.
Vegeta, who should have been unconscious and completely incapable of continuing to fight, had actually stood up once again.
And judging from the situation, something seemed to be brewing within his body, as though something beyond comprehension was about to awaken.
“Still refusing to stay down? What a tenacious guy.”
This was indeed the first time Jiren had encountered someone as tenacious as Vegeta.
Jiren snorted coldly and charged forward once more, arriving at Vegeta’s position in the blink of an eye.
Jiren stared coldly at Vegeta before him and casually raised his right hand. A crimson flame-like energy sphere appeared in his palm.
This time, he decided to take things seriously and eliminate Vegeta with a single attack.
“I acknowledge that you are a proud warrior. But since the outcome has already been decided, stop getting in the way. Leave the stage.” As his words fell, the flame-like energy sphere in Jiren’s hand shot out with a rumble, heading straight for Vegeta.
The instant the energy sphere was about to strike Vegeta, a miracle occurred.
A deep blue divine light suddenly appeared in Vegeta’s lifeless pupils. An even purer and more powerful God Ki erupted from within his body, forcibly stopping the energy sphere’s advance.
“What?!” Jiren was shocked.
Logically speaking, Vegeta’s body had already reached the absolute limit of its limits. He should not have had any strength left to continue fighting.
Yet now, not only had Vegeta stood up once again, he had also erupted with a rather impressive amount of God Ki.
“Expressionless b*stard, you’re the first guy like this I’ve ever met! To tell you the truth, I’m quite excited meeting an expert like you. If it weren’t for that move you used just now, it probably would’ve taken me a very, very long time to achieve this brand-new form.” As Vegeta explained, his form also began to change.
‘Whooshhhhh~~!!!!’
Deep, profound blue God Ki surged out from within his body. His form transformed from his normal state into Super Saiyan Blue Evolved once again!
Powerful divine pressure enveloped the Null Realm. Compared to before, he had improved somewhat, but in Jiren’s eyes, that level of improvement was utterly insignificant.
A puzzled expression appeared on Jiren’s face. After examining Vegeta for a moment, he said, “Your current form doesn’t look any different from before.”
“Of course! Because the real show is only just beginning!!” Vegeta grinned, clenched both fists, and leaned his body slightly forward. Veins bulged on his forehead as the awakened power within him was drawn out bit by bit along with his roar.
Jiren calmly watched Vegeta roar before him, a trace of anticipation involuntarily rising in his heart.
Just how far could this Vegeta go?
……
Over at Universe 7’s spectator area.
“That brat Vegeta… has he already achieved that form?” Beerus seemed to notice something.
The way Vegeta was erupting with power made it obvious that he was advancing toward an even higher transformation.
How long had it even been? Yet this brat had already reached such a level.
“Jiren’s previous attack successfully helped Vegeta break through the shell surrounding his latent potential, indirectly helping Vegeta take another step forward and grasp a new transformation,” Whis explained to everyone, having clearly seen even more.
Although Vegeta growing stronger was a good thing, Whis was worried about whether his body could withstand it.
It wasn’t that he doubted Vegeta’s physical strength, but rather that Vegeta was currently already in a state of complete exhaustion.
If he completed a breakthrough in this condition, then even if his strength increased, the result would probably not be very ideal.
After all, the burden brought by God Ki that surpassed the body’s limits was far heavier than one could imagine.
“Is that transformation… Super Saiyan Blue 3?” East Supreme Kai recalled the scene from the last time the universe was thrown into turmoil, when God of Destruction Beerus fought Talot.
At that time, Talot’s transformation had been Super Saiyan Blue 3.
Other than Super Saiyan Blue 3, there was no better explanation.
“From the looks of it now, yes.” Old Supreme Kai pinched his chin with his right hand and spoke earnestly.
Other than Super Saiyan Blue 3, it couldn’t possibly be any other transformation.
……
Over on Universe 6’s side.
“It’s that same God Ki from the last time the universe was thrown into turmoil… Has that Vegeta already begun advancing toward that level?” Champa’s expression turned ashen.
Look at the Saiyans of neighboring Universe 7, then look at the Saiyans on their Universe 6 side.
They weren’t even on the same level at all…
The Saiyans of neighboring Universe 7 could freaking transform into Super Saiyan Blue 3.
The Saiyans on his side… were still hovering around Super Saiyan 2…
In their Universe 6, only Hit was truly presentable.
At this moment, Champa even had the thought that it would be great if Hit had nine brothers.
“Lord Champa, you wouldn’t happen to be getting a little scared, would you?” After Vados noticed Champa’s abnormal reaction, a mischievous smile appeared on her face as she turned and teased him.
“Scared? What kind of joke is that? This God Ki is indeed very strong, but Vegeta isn’t that Saiyan named Talot. What do I have to be afraid of?” Champa retorted unhappily, then immediately turned his gaze back toward Vegeta, who was in the middle of a massive energy eruption.
Fine. Truthfully speaking, he was still feeling a little uneasy.
