At this moment, Talot's purification of Bardock had reached its final stage.
As the divine light rapidly contracted, the figures of Talot and Bardock were revealed once more.
"Ha… ha… ha…" Talot panted heavily, quickly adjusting his breathing rhythm.
Although he was still maintaining the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved state, the intensity of his God Ki was now less than half of its peak.
Without time to think further, Talot's sharp gaze locked onto the masked Bardock before him.
At this moment, under the purification of God Ki, the evil power within Bardock's body had been completely dispelled.
He slowly turned around, and the blood-red aura that had filled his eyes had already returned to normal.
'Crack… crack… boom!!' In the next second, the dark mask on Bardock's face shattered violently, revealing his true appearance.
Those restored, normal eyes signified that his self-awareness had returned.
"Welcome back… Uncle Bardock…" A smile appeared on Talot's face, genuinely happy for Bardock's return.
"This feeling… it's like I had a very, very long dream. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have woken up again." Bardock revealed a relieved smile.
Back when Talot had transmitted his voice to him, he had already been searching for a way to return to his original world. But who could have imagined that on his way to find Namek, he would be targeted by those b*stards from the Demon Realm.
Not only was his body modified, even his self-awareness had nearly completely dissipated.
The reunion between uncle and nephew had no unnecessary words, and besides, this was the Demon Real. Now was not the time for sentimentality.
'Crackle—boom boom~~!!'
Suddenly, in the sky of the Demon Realm, an astonishing bolt of destructive lightning exploded.
In an instant, the entire Demon Realm trembled.
A sinister and terrifying demonic aura erupted violently. This overwhelmingly fierce evil energy immediately drew the attention of Bardock and Talot, and forcibly interrupted the battle between Future Vegeta and Mira.
Within that destructive lightning, the Demon God Shroom of the Demon Realm descended!
"Tch~! You scum of the Demon Realm!!" The moment Bardock saw Shroom, his anger surged, wishing he could tear every Demon Realm being into pieces.
This grudge of being captured and modified. He had to repay it!!
"Yaaahhh—RAAAHHH~~!!!" Bardock let out a fierce roar, the S-cells within his body resonating as his bloodline power was activated.
Accompanied by an explosion of golden lightning, he leapt directly from his normal state into Super Saiyan 3.
Moreover, because Talot had infused him with God Ki, his Super Saiyan 3 form radiated an extremely powerful God Ki.
It was both Super Saiyan 3, and not an ordinary Super Saiyan 3.
This form could be called Super Saiyan 3 • Divine Enhanced State!
"Die!!!" With his aura erupting to its peak, Bardock raised his hand and unleashed a devastating blue energy beam, blasting straight toward Demon God Shroom.
"Overestimating yourself. You are nothing more than a puppet of my Demon Realm. Do you think regaining your self-awareness can change your fate? Naive!!" Demon God Shroom dismissed it with disdain, raising his hand to summon his Death Scythe.
With a casual motion, he released Death Scythe Slash.
'Whoosh~~!!' The sound of something slicing through the air rang out.
Bardock's full-power finishing move was instantly split into two by Shroom's casual Death Scythe Slash. The remaining energy blade surged forward, aiming straight for Bardock.
"What?!" Seeing this, Bardock's face changed in shock. He quickly turned and narrowly avoided the immensely powerful slash.
'Boom~~!!'
Shroom's casual strike left behind a massive trench stretching tens of thousands of meters across the ground.
"Damn it… these Demon Gods are even stronger than I imagined!!" Bardock's expression turned grim.
Although he had undergone Towa's modification, been enhanced by the evil power of the dark mask, and purified by Talot's God Ki—allowing his strength to break through its limits—compared to these Demon Gods of the Demon Realm, he was still far inferior.
"The situation isn't looking good…" Talot looked up at the Demon God Shroom holding the Death Scythe in the sky, his expression becoming extremely serious.
His intuition told him that this Grim Reaper Shroom's strength had surpassed the Eighth Dimension and reached the Ninth Dimension.
If he were in his peak condition, relying on the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved • Great Ape • Legendary Super Saiyan power state or Ultra Ego state, he might be able to fight him.
But now, after purifying the evil power from Bardock, he could no longer unleash his peak strength.
Moreover, this was the Demon Realm. His power was suppressed by this world. Even if he went all out, he might not be able to take down Shroom.
"That performance just now was quite entertaining. It even made my hands itch a little. Next, let me play with you myself." Shroom said with a fake smile.
…
At this moment, on the battlefield between Future Vegeta and Mira.
The battle situation was completely one-sided. Future Vegeta had already beaten Mira to a battered state, covered in wounds.
"Get the hell out of my sight!! You worthless trash!!" Future Vegeta roared, unleashing an unstoppable punch.
'Bang~~!!' A heart-shaking sound of impact rang out.
Future Vegeta's heavy punch struck Mira square in the abdomen, the terrifying penetrating force instantly sending Mira flying back hundreds of meters.
His internal organs were churned by the force, his blood and qi surged, and Mira spat out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn't over yet. Future Vegeta attacked again, bringing his hands together and assuming a stance to release energy, as white-purple light flickered.
"Super Galick Gun!!" Future Vegeta directly unleashed his ultimate finishing move.
The violent energy blasted through the air, striking Mira's body head-on.
"AAAHHH—RAAAHHH~~!!!" Mira struggled with everything he had to resist, but the energy erupting from Future Vegeta was clearly beyond what he could withstand.
"Die!! Mira!!" Future Vegeta roared, pushing his energy to the absolute limit.
At this moment, the energy beam released by Future Vegeta expanded explosively.
'Boom~~!!' With a thunderous explosion, the Super Galick Gun detonated.
Towering flames surged into the sky, shockwaves spread out, and Mira was completely engulfed by the explosion, his fate unknown.
This guy's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even if only a single cell remained, he could continuously revive.
With the situation so tense, Future Vegeta had no time to check whether Mira was still alive.
Just as he was about to act, his gaze shifted, landing on the Masked King Vegeta on the distant ground who was watching him.
At this moment, the Masked King Vegeta did not launch an attack on him.
"Hmph~!!" Future Vegeta merely snorted coldly, ignoring his father who had fallen into darkness, and swiftly moved toward the area where Talot and Bardock were.
He had no intention of saving King Vegeta; this was King Vegeta's own choice. He still retained his self-awareness and was not being forcibly controlled.
Since he chose the path of the Demon Realm, then let him walk it to the end.
However, the next time they met in the future, it would not be as simple as this.
At this moment, the Masked King Vegeta watched Vegeta depart, falling into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
[My son… you have upheld the glory of the Saiyans, and that brings me great comfort. But I… can no longer turn back… in the end, I can only help you this once.]The inner emotions of the Masked King Vegeta fluctuated violently. At this moment, it seemed he had already made up his mind.
