What a world of difference!
Why did I become so strong in another timeline?
What exactly did he go through?
"Shhhhhh!"
Deep Blue Vegeta unleashed beams of blue energy from his hands, which shot toward Granora at incredible speed, like a rain of blue lasers.
Granora twisted her wrist bone slightly, and invisible energy spread out like a tsunami, crushing the incoming energy bullets into countless points of light.
"Do you really think you can win against me with such a petty trick?" Granora's wrinkles were filled with mockery, her pupils glancing sideways at the deep blue Vegeta as if she were looking at a noisy flying insect.
Vegeta hovered in mid-air, his pupils suddenly contracting.
This guy is ridiculously powerful. Is he even stronger than Lord Beerus?
The other one was no match for him at all; I felt completely suppressed by him.
"call out!"
With a sharp sound as the air was torn apart, Vegeta's chest heaved violently, his spine crackling slightly, and a purplish-blue energy beam, twisting like a living thing, shot towards Granora.
"Hmph!" Granora snorted and pressed his palm down diagonally. The energy pillar exploded into stardust as if it had hit an invisible wall. A few wisps of the aftershock brushed past his green hair and left scorch marks in the void.
"Shh!"
Vegeta's deep blue figure suddenly turned into a light blue afterimage, causing ripples in the space. The next second, he appeared behind Granora, with a spiral of energy gathering at his elbow.
However, Granora's hair seemed to carry a warning. Her toes touched the void, and her body spun in an unbelievable crescent shape. The energy blast she flung back left a trail of scorching heat: "I told you, it's useless against me!"
The energy orb tore through the clouds, shooting towards Deep Blue Vegeta with a crackling sound of ionized air.
Deep Blue Vegeta suddenly grinned, and his figure transformed into a streak of blue light, disappearing from the spot.
The energy orb lost its target and plummeted downwards, trailing thick smoke.
Vegeta followed the trajectory of the falling energy, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Below lies the ruins of the city, where reinforced concrete twists into grotesque braids, and eerie blue flames still flicker among the broken walls.
As for what kind of city it was, Vegeta wasn't quite sure.
He had never seen those strangely shaped, pointed buildings and aerial orbits on any other planet.
"Oh no!" Granora suddenly clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white.
"Boom!"
The energy orb slammed into the center of the ruins, the shockwave sending up dust hundreds of meters high. The remaining building skeletons scattered like toothpicks, revealing a huge gear structure buried underground.
"Are you alright?" Deep Blue Vegeta dusted off his shoulder armor, his smile laced with cold malice. "Isn't that the city with your precious memories?"
"You bastard!" The air around Granora suddenly boiled, the shockwave shattering the clouds. The veins on his forehead throbbed, like earthworms crawling under his skin.
"I think I understand now." Deep Blue Vegeta cracked his neck, a series of sharp cracks coming from his cervical spine. "You only recently acquired that power, didn't you?"
Granora's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively leaned forward: "Why do you think that?"
"Just as I expected!" Deep Blue Vegeta laughed loudly, the sound waves causing the surrounding rubble to tremble slightly. "Because your shoulders shrug unconsciously when you throw a punch, and your knees bend habitually when you output energy—you lack combat experience too much."
"Shh!"
Before he could finish speaking, Vegeta in deep blue had already transformed into a streak of light, leaving an afterimage in his original position as his fist appeared in front of Granora's nose with a whooshing sound.
Vegeta's pupils contracted slightly.
It turns out this guy had just acquired this powerful ability.
But how did he acquire this power?
"boom!"
Granora's heavy punch came with a sharp whistling sound, but it was firmly blocked by Vegeta in Blue with his hands crossed. Fine sparks of electricity burst out where the edges of their palms touched.
"What did you do after you obtained this power? Did you train to use it?" Deep Blue Vegeta's breath brushed against Granora's hand, carrying a scorching wave of air.
"There's no need for that!" Granora roared, raising her hand and kicking Deep Blue Vegeta in the abdomen. The armor dented as Vegeta let out a groan.
A metallic taste rose in Vegeta's throat as he felt a surge of blood and saliva splatter onto Granora's wristbands, causing his vision to briefly blur.
"This is the difference between you and me. Admit defeat, Saiyan!" Granora's roar shook the surrounding rocks, causing them to tumble down and creating shockwaves around him.
"No, I'm no match for him." Vegeta stared at his other self's hunched back, his nails digging deep into his palms. "What is this other me even holding onto?"
"I've said it so many times, even if you're stronger than me now, I won't lose to you because of that!" Deep Blue Vegeta suddenly chuckled, his arms gripping Granora's calves like iron clamps, his elbows striking Granora's knees with a crisp cracking sound.
"Ouch..."
Granora's screams were mixed with the muffled thuds of dislocated joints as she staggered and swung her legs, sending pebbles flying through the air: "Let me go!"
"call out!"
Deep Blue Vegeta flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, tumbling seventeen times in the air before regaining his balance, his boots carving two deep furrows in the ground.
Deep Blue Vegeta hastily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"I have obtained the greatest power in the universe, and the one who will ultimately win is of course me." Granora hovered a hundred meters in the air, her cloak fluttering in the air currents, her shadow completely enveloping the deep blue Vegeta.
"Hmph, the so-called victory or defeat, you won't know the result until you actually fight." Vegeta chuckled as he looked at the dust rising below. "That's why the upcoming battle is even more interesting."
"Shut up, you barbaric Saiyan! Is this how you caused so many of us to sacrifice our lives!" Granora's pupils suddenly turned crimson, and teardrop-shaped energy condensed in his palm. He plummeted to the ground like a meteorite, his fist accompanied by a space-tearing explosion.
Deep Blue Vegeta's punches and kicks left afterimages in the air, each block causing the ground to tremble, while the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
“Let me tell you something else.” Deep Blue Vegeta dodged Granora’s elbow strike, his knee grazing the other’s ribs. “Whether you are number one or number two in the universe, this ranking is only the result of that moment. The moment it is decided, it has already become the past.”
Granora's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, her energy crushing the surrounding ruins into dust, completely ignoring his words.
"I am stronger now than I was just a few minutes ago." Vegeta's aura suddenly surged, his hair standing on end. "In this battle, I am constantly growing stronger!"
"Then I'll send you to your death right now!" A blinding white light emanated from Granora's fingertips as she pierced through the air, aiming straight for the deep blue Vegeta's dantian.
Vegeta's deep blue pupils contracted to pinpoints in an instant, and his wrist twisted at an incredible angle, gripping the other's forearm tightly.
However, Granora's fingertips still managed to break through the defenses and plunge deep into Blue Vegeta's abdomen.
"Crack!"
The specially made alloy armor shattered like a biscuit, with tiny metal fragments splattering with blood.
Granora's hand had already penetrated deep blue Vegeta's abdominal cavity, and she could clearly feel the pulsation of his internal organs.
Instantly, blood blossomed on the abdomen of the deep blue Vegeta, and the blue flames flickered like a candle in the wind.
"Snapped!"
The dazzling blue light suddenly went out, and Vegeta returned to normal, his body swaying slightly.
"This arrogant guy, did he lose in the end?" Vegeta turned his head away, but couldn't help turning back, his brows furrowed.
"Hehe! Hehehe..." Deep Blue Vegeta suddenly chuckled, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto Granora's hand, his laughter growing increasingly manic.
Granora's fingers froze inside the other's abdomen, her pupils filled with astonishment.
"What...what are you laughing at?" Granora's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, and her wrist twitched slightly.
Vegeta also held his breath.
What is that other me laughing at?
You've been beaten up like this, and you're still laughing?
How can you still laugh?
I really don't know what you're thinking!
"This is so exhilarating! I haven't been this happy in a long time!" Deep Blue Vegeta laughed loudly, causing the wound in his chest to open up even wider. "It's not about protecting anything, nor about saving anyone. I'm just focusing on fighting."
Granora's face turned ashen instantly, and her fingers gripping the other's wound tightened involuntarily.
Is this guy an idiot?
Even after I beat him up like this, he's still laughing so happily.
"Hey, how long has it been since you fought like this?" Deep Blue Vegeta suddenly turned to look at his other self, a pure smile appearing on his blood-stained face.
Vegeta was struck dumb and instantly fell into deep thought.
Isn't it to protect something?
There's no need to think about saving anyone.
Just focus on fighting?
This kind of battle is absolutely exhilarating!
I feel like I haven't had a battle like this since I came to Earth from Namek.
It's not about protecting anyone, it's about protecting the Earth.
Otherwise, it's to surpass Kakarot.
"Looks like it's been a long time since you've fought like this either." Deep Blue Vegeta smiled slightly at his other self, then turned to Granora. "Right now, I can feel the Saiyan blood beating in my veins!"
Granora suddenly felt a chill creep up her spine, jerked her hand back, staggered back a few steps, and crashed into a half-broken wall.
"The other me, watch closely!" Deep Blue Vegeta revealed a mysterious smile, the blood in his wound suddenly stopped flowing, and purple-red flames erupted like a volcano.
"Boom!"
The energy wave unique to the God of Destruction spread out from the center of Deep Blue Vegeta, causing ripples in the space wherever it passed, and the rubble on the ruins mysteriously floated up.
Vegeta's eyes widened in shock, and he forgot to even catch his breath.
What kind of change is this?
Another version of myself suddenly became incredibly strong.
When Vegeta finally saw clearly, he saw that the black hair of his other self had turned into an eerie purplish-red, his brow bones were raised high, his eyebrows were sunken into his eye sockets, and there seemed to be nebulae swirling in his purplish-red pupils.
At the same time, the purplish-red flame was mixed with purple lightning, crackling loudly.
Self-fulfillment to the extreme!
Open!
"The God of Destruction once told me that there is no limit to the power that can be generated purely by instinct!" Deep Blue Vegeta's smile was filled with madness, and the surrounding space trembled with every word he spoke.
