The mysterious masked man made the first move, a sinister aura spreading around him as he charged toward Future Vegeta like a streak of dark aurora.
"Hmph~! Don't underestimate me!!" Future Vegeta snorted coldly, energy surging around his body as he met the mysterious masked man head-on.
A fierce battle was about to erupt!
A chaotic clash between Future Vegeta and the mysterious masked man broke out.
Both sides moved as fast as lightning, their power enough to shatter everything, unleashing violent attacks upon each other.
Perhaps it was just an illusion.
The mysterious masked man's fighting style was actually roughly the same as Future Vegeta's.
However, in terms of foundation, the masked man's fighting style was slightly lacking, yet the evil power surging from that dark mask perfectly made up for this deficiency.
In fact, under the enhancement of the dark mask, his power even faintly surpassed Future Vegeta's.
"What's wrong?! Is this all the strength you have, Vegeta?!" the mysterious masked man shouted, launching a storm-like barrage of attacks that poured down on Future Vegeta like raindrops, so fierce that Future Vegeta could only defend passively.
'Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom!…' Heavy thunder-like explosions resounded continuously.
The mysterious masked man firmly held the upper hand, his overwhelming attacks landing on Future Vegeta time and time again.
Pain surged through him, and Future Vegeta's expression changed as anger rose within his heart.
"Enough!!!" With a furious roar, Future Vegeta could no longer endure it and decisively released a deeper layer of his Saiyan energy.
'Crackle~~!!' Endless lightning burst around Future Vegeta, his energy erupting as his aura underwent a great transformation.
Powerful energy surged through his entire body like a roaming dragon. At this moment, Super Saiyan 3 descended.
"Super Saiyan 3?! Interesting!" Upon seeing Future Vegeta's Super Saiyan 3 transformation, the mysterious masked man became more vigilant, immediately ceasing his attack and putting distance between them.
He had underestimated this Vegeta. Being able to bring out a transformation of Super Saiyan 3's level was something he hadn't expected.
Seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Future Vegeta's eyes as his entire body instantly turned into a streak of golden lightning, charging forward at lightning speed and appearing before the mysterious masked man in an instant.
An unstoppable barrage of powerful attacks poured down on the masked man like rain, each move containing destructive power capable of annihilating heaven and earth.
'Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!…' Future Vegeta's attacks were incredibly fierce, and the force behind each strike put immense pressure on the masked man, forcing him back continuously as his defense collapsed.
Yet despite being suppressed, the mysterious masked man felt delighted rather than angered.
"Enough!!! How long do you plan to keep hiding your identity?! Who are you?!" Unable to tolerate it any longer, Future Vegeta swung a furious fist toward the masked man.
'Boom!!' The immensely powerful punch struck the masked man square in the face.
The force of this blow was so great that even space itself trembled, sending out waves of astonishing ripples.
After suffering the devastating attack, the mysterious masked man was blasted away like a cannonball for over a thousand meters before barely stabilizing his body.
At the same time, the dark mask he wore developed a crack.
'Crack~~ Bang!!' With a sharp explosion.
The mysterious masked man's right eye was exposed.
His pupil was blood-red, yet his gaze was exactly the same as Future Vegeta's.
"So it really is you… my… father!!" At this moment, Future Vegeta completely confirmed his identity.
His own father, King Vegeta!
"In the end, I still underestimated you. As expected of my son." Masked King Vegeta praised Vegeta's performance.
"I don't know why you're here, but you don't look like you've been forcibly modified and controlled by those guys. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!!" Although he was a father from an unknown timeline, there was still a connection. Future Vegeta's low voice carried a trace of cold killing intent.
In his view, Masked King Vegeta had already abandoned the dignity and pride of a Saiyan. As a king, he was actually associating with the filthy, lowly scum of the Demon Realm.
He had tarnished the honor of the King of the Saiyans!
"Heh heh heh… isn't it obvious? Power! For absolute power!! For the power to surpass everything and never be enslaved!!" Masked King Vegeta clenched his fist, displaying his mad determination to Future Vegeta.
Back then, after being killed by Frieza, he had been found by people from the Demon Realm who traversed time, and was revived.
After his revival, in pursuit of ultimate power—power strong enough to overturn everything—he was recruited by Towa and willingly became a subject of her human modification experiments.
The modification process went extremely smoothly. His physique was absolutely enhanced, and with the addition of the dark mask, he transformed into an extraordinarily powerful warrior.
After hearing the answer, Future Vegeta's face turned pitch black, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So that's your reason? You disappoint me. For such insignificant power, you abandoned your pride. Are you still worthy of being the King of the Saiyans?" Future Vegeta's heavy words were filled with disdain toward Masked King Vegeta.
What if he had become stronger? He was still just a tool of the Demon Realm, still unable to escape the fate of being enslaved.
That shackle called power had already taken deep root. There was no removing it!
"How dare you! As my son, you dare to question me?!" Masked King Vegeta seemed to have been struck at his sore spot, letting out a furious roar as violent evil energy surged forth like a raging torrent.
"Vegeta, you're still too young. You don't understand my good intentions at all. So what if I'm enslaved by them now? As long as I become strong enough later, no one will be able to stop me!! Not only will I become the King of the Saiyans, I will also become the King of this Demon Realm! Then I will conquer the universe!" Masked King Vegeta declared his ambitions without restraint.
At this point, he had completely become a slave to power. For the sake of power, he could abandon everything, even the dignity of a king.
"Heh heh heh… what a pitiful and pathetic state." Future Vegeta mocked disdainfully.
Those words enraged Masked King Vegeta once again.
"Shut up!! I am not enslaved!! I am not!!!" Having his weakness exposed, Masked King Vegeta instantly flew into a rage, raising his hand and unleashing a tremendously powerful evil energy blast.
Facing the incoming evil energy blast, Future Vegeta let out a cold snort, his face full of disdain.
An attack of this level wasn't even worth dodging.
'Boom~~!!!!' Flames from the explosion shot into the sky, and a deafening blast erupted high above.
Thick flames spread rapidly, engulfing the sky within a radius of dozens of meters.
The atmosphere was stirred, and space itself trembled, clearly showing just how terrifying the destructive power of Masked King Vegeta's attack was.
