Goku clenched his fists, thinking he had seen everything that Vegeta could show.
At the same time, his patience was running thin, and it was time to deliver the final blow to Vegeta.
But just as Goku was about to attack, Vegeta said, “Limit? No, this is not my limit! The problem you mentioned does exist, but once I transform into Super Saiyan 5th Grade, it won’t be a problem!”
“What?”
Goku’s expression changed abruptly.
Not only him, but Lin Chen, who was observing from the shadows, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Super Saiyan 5th Grade?
What kind of transformation was this?
Lin Chen had never heard of Super Saiyan 5th Grade before.
While the two of them were in shock, changes were already happening on Vegeta’s side.
“Super Kaio-ken, 20x!”
An astonishing red pillar of light pierced through the sky and earth, and Vegeta’s Power Level rapidly skyrocketed, ultimately surpassing Goku and even far exceeding his!
This surprised Goku greatly, “Didn’t you say you were going to transform into Super Saiyan 5th Grade? Why did you just use Kaio-ken?”
“Kakarot, I didn’t expect you to be ignorant too! I’ve already transformed into Super Saiyan 5th Grade.”
Vegeta pointed at his own eyes with his thumb.
“Haven’t you noticed? The eyes of Super Saiyan 5th Grade are black!”
“Black pupils!”
“Black pupils?”
If it weren’t for Vegeta’s reminder, not only Goku, even Lin Chen wouldn’t have noticed that Vegeta had already reached the fifth stage?
But Vegeta’s aura didn’t seem to have changed at all?
What did Super Saiyan 5th Grade mean? Why was Vegeta able to grasp 20x Super Kaio-ken just by changing his eye’s color to black?
Before Lin Chen could figure it out, Vegeta had already launched his counterattack.
“Haha!”
The bugle call of the counterattack began with a blast wave.
Vegeta simply raised his hand and threw out a ki blast, containing astonishing energy.
The strength of this energy was so powerful that even Goku dared not confront it head-on. Before the blast wave hit, he disappeared from his original position.
When he reappeared, Goku had already moved several hundred meters away, looking at the spot where he had stood moments ago with disbelief.
Over there, a mushroom cloud had erupted out.
However, Goku soon realized something was wrong because Vegeta had also disappeared during the explosion.
Before Goku could find Vegeta’s whereabouts, a nightmarish cold voice echoed in his ears.
“Kakarot, I’m over here!”
Vegeta had somehow appeared behind Goku, delivering a powerful punch to his head.
Immediately after, Vegeta disappeared and he kept flashing around Goku at high speed.
His speed was so fast that Goku couldn’t catch him at all.
Boom!
A ki blast suddenly flew towards Goku. He hastily dodged, but his heart suddenly tensed.
Because, taking advantage of this opportunity, Vegeta appeared in front of him.
Goku’s pupils contracted.
“Oh no!”
“Big Bang Attack!”
A force erupted from Vegeta’s palm, engulfing Goku in an instant, the scorching energy completely enveloping him.
Amidst the explosive light, Goku escaped in a sorry state, but before he could steady himself, Vegeta chased after him once again. Clenching his fists like hammers, Vegeta swiftly knocked Goku to the ground, settling the score for the earlier attack.
However, despite knocking Goku down, Vegeta wasn’t particularly pleased.
Lin Chen also identified the reason, “When Goku was hit just now, he used all his energy for defense, so he didn’t suffer much damage.”
“These two guys are both combat geniuses.”
In comparison, for some unknown reason, despite having the upper hand, Vegeta’s aura began to weaken.
It seemed that while Vegeta successfully overcame the strain of Kaio-ken on his body, his 20x Super Kaio-ken still consumed a considerable amount, making it unsustainable for a long time.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Vegeta.
It was Goku, who used Instant Transmission to close the distance between them.
Goku seized the opportunity as Vegeta was canceling the 20x Kaio-ken, launching a sudden attack, catching Vegeta off guard.
In a sorry state, Vegeta distanced himself from Goku and once again activated the 20x Kaio-ken.
But this time, Lin Chen noticed something strange about Vegeta’s situation.
Despite using 20x Kaio-ken in full force, Vegeta’s strength should have far surpassed Goku, yet he did not immediately attack. Instead, he relied on high-speed movements to move around Goku, waiting for the right moment.
After a few seconds, Vegeta officially began his attack.
“Vegeta… could it be…”
Just as Lin Chen seemed to have figured something out, Vegeta cornered Goku.
First, he feigned a move, forcing Goku to defend with all his strength. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, Vegeta directly attacked Goku’s back, placing one hand almost against his back.
“20x Kaio-ken, Big Bang Attack!”
Boom!
The deafening explosion disturbed every molecule in the air, causing Lin Chen’s eardrums to ache.
Vegeta’s attack shook the ground violently; mountain peaks collapsed, and a spectacular mushroom cloud soared into the sky like the explosion of a high-yield hydrogen bomb.
If Vegeta hadn’t controlled the direction well, the Earth might have been destroyed by his attack just now.
Unfortunately, Vegeta’s move didn’t succeed.
In the moment before the explosion, Goku used Instant Transmission to escape.
Lin Chen shifted his gaze to the location where Piccolo was.
He had noticed that Goku had moved there.
Goku suppressed his aura, recovering his stamina next to Piccolo.
The vast power gap between the two caused Piccolo to not act recklessly.
“It was really dangerous just now. If I hadn’t sensed your aura in that split second, I might have died!”
“I can’t believe it, I ended up being a hindrance to Vegeta!”
Piccolo sighed with regret.
Clearly, all that needs to be done is to kill Goku, and there’s a chance to fix everything.
In his view, if Goku were to die and then be resurrected by the Divine Dragon, perhaps it could change the current situation.
But Piccolo was unaware that Goku’s change was not just a problem with memories.
“Goku! Have you truly forgotten everything? Remember your past quickly!”
“Piccolo, I’ll say it again. I am not Goku; I am Kakarot!”
Piccolo gritted his teeth, “Son! Are you serious? What about the Goku who always identified himself as an Earthling in the past? Don’t forget, you still have Gohan and Goten!”
