"Pfft—"
Recoom's Mouth Cannon was only halfway out when Broly forcefully interrupted his casting.
Golden energy exploded in his mouth with a dull thud, and smoke curled out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils simultaneously.
His mouth was blown swollen, his lips turned inside out, looking exactly like two charred sausages.
Not only that, because the energy yet to be expelled from his mouth had nowhere to go, much of it even sprayed out through his nostrils.
Despite this, a significant amount of energy still surged toward Vegeta.
Those scattered energy fragments trailed golden exhaust flames, covering most of the area like a sudden meteor shower.
At this point, Vegeta's physical condition was already terrible; he was covered in blood, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily. It was definitely too late for him to dodge.
In fact, he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.
Just as it looked like Vegeta was about to be hit dead-on by Recoom's Mouth Cannon...
A Scepter suddenly appeared in Linoshi's hand.
Without any hesitation, she pointed it at Vegeta from across the distance.
"Shua!"
Vegeta's body vanished from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Vegeta appeared right beside Rez.
He stood there, maintaining his previous half-kneeling posture, still looking battered and miserable, but his location had changed.
Having finished her spell, Linoshi quickly turned around, her movements as swift as a thief's.
She hid the Scepter behind her back, and it turned into specks of starlight, instantly dissipating into the air.
Only then did she turn back, glancing timidly at Rez with a hint of guilt in her blue eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Rez suppressed a smile, pretending not to have seen anything.
His gaze passed over Linoshi to the distant battlefield, his expression as calm as water.
This little Angel is truly interesting.
I'll see how long you can keep up the act!
Rez had no intention of exposing her.
After all, Rez knew very well that an Apprentice Angel needed to gain experience in the mortal world; they generally wouldn't easily reveal their identity unless it was absolutely necessary.
Vegeta, having been teleported over by Linoshi, was momentarily in a daze, looking left and right with a bewildered expression.
His mind was a complete blank; he had no idea what had just happened.
He only remembered a golden light coming straight at him, then a blur before his eyes, and then he was here.
A moment later, Vegeta saw Rez beside him.
That familiar face wore a faint smile, as if everything was under control.
There was a brief moment of stagnation.
Vegeta's eyes instantly turned red.
He clenched his fists tightly and gazed at Rez with excitement, his lips trembling slightly as two lines of hot tears flowed down his eyes, carving two white tracks through his dust-covered face.
In those tears were unwillingness, humiliation, and a heart full of resentment.
"Teacher! Heal me!" Vegeta grit his teeth, his voice hoarse but determined.
"Easily done," Rez nodded slightly, as starlight bloomed in his hand.
Silvery-white light surged from his palm, soft and warm, like pouring moonlight.
The light quickly covered Vegeta, wrapping his entire person within it.
In just an instant, Vegeta's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Broken bones reconnected, torn muscles began to knit together, purple bruises faded, the bleeding stopped, and his skin returned to its original state.
However, Vegeta's armor remained in tatters, not having recovered along with his injuries.
The shoulder pads were shattered, the breastplate was dented, and his bodysuit was full of holes and scorch marks.
A thought struck Rez.
Since the released Divine Power could heal Vegeta's injuries, could it also repair his battle armor?
Maybe... give it a try?
Thinking of this, Rez once again condensed a mass of Angel Power, the silvery-white light swirling in his palm as he draped it over Vegeta's body.
At the same time, Rez silently thought the word "Repair."
"Pa!"
The Angel Power covered Vegeta once more and quickly converted into a restorative ability.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Vegeta's shattered battle armor was restoring itself to its original form at an extremely high speed.
The shattered shoulder pads reassembled, the dented breastplate smoothed out, the holed bodysuit was mended like new, and even the stains on it vanished completely.
It took less than three seconds.
Vegeta stood before Rez, completely renewed.
His armor was shiny, his bodysuit clean, and his whole person was full of spirit, as if he had just walked out of a palace dressing room.
Seeing Rez repair Vegeta's armor, Linoshi didn't seem to show any surprise; on the contrary, she looked like she had seen it all before.
She just stood quietly to the side, her blue eyes holding a sense of 'of course.'
"Eh? Even my clothes are fixed?" Vegeta stared blankly at his unharmed body and his brand-new armor, instantly astonished.
He looked down at his chest, touched his shoulders, and checked himself over several times to confirm this wasn't an illusion.
...
"Paji!"
On the other side, Broly's knee descending from the sky slammed directly into Recoom's head, knocking him to the ground instantly.
Recoom's massive frame crashed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and plowing a shallow trench into the earth.
By the time Recoom scrambled up, he had lost a mouthful of teeth, and faint smoke was still rising from his mouth.
His lips were swollen, his speech was lisped, and several broken teeth mixed with blood leaked from the corner of his mouth; he looked utterly pathetic.
"Ngh... Who was it?" Recoom felt his speech was leaking air, his tongue swirling around his empty gums. "Rushing down from above, catching me off guard!"
"You! Stop copying me!" Broly huffed, hands on his hips, glaring at Recoom with a look of displeasure.
"It's... it's you?" Recoom was slightly startled, recognizing Broly at a glance.
His pupils shrank suddenly as a thought flashed through his mind.
Where's Burter?
Recoom instinctively looked up toward Rez, his eyes filled with confusion and unease.
...
Seeing Rez appear, Ginyu's lips curled up into a faint smile.
This was the moment he had been waiting for.
"Shua!"
In the next instant, Ginyu's figure flickered, and he appeared opposite Rez at extreme speed.
His movements were crisp and clean as he hovered three meters in front of Rez, arms crossed, his purple skin glinting coldly in the sunlight.
"You must be Rez, right?" Ginyu narrowed his eyes, sizing Rez up with a gaze as sharp as a knife. "How did you make Vegeta appear beside you in an instant?"
"You can figure that out for yourself." Rez smiled indifferently.
"Hmph, quite the tough mouth! Don't want to say anything, do you?" Ginyu chuckled, casting another deep look at Vegeta.
He noticed that Vegeta's injuries were completely healed and even his armor was brand new, making him unable to help but click his tongue in wonder.
