On another battlefield.
Future Vegeta rushed over and stood on the same side as Talot and Bardock, facing the Demon God • Shroom.
He was not unfamiliar with this guy Shroom. Back when he carried out missions in other timelines, he had encountered Shroom before.
The opponent's immense strength was not something that could be defeated in a one-on-one fight.
Back then, he had only managed to win by fusing with Kakarot, barely defeating the opponent and driving him out of that timeline.
Now that they were in the Demon Realm, trying to confront and defeat him head-on was almost impossible.
"Since he has been awakened, let's leave. There's no need to get entangled with this guy." Future Vegeta didn't waste any time and directly took out the Time Scroll that the Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa had given him earlier.
As the Time Scroll opened, a formidable power of space-time formed a spacetunnel behind them.
At the end of this spacetime tunnel was the Time Nest.
As long as they reached the Time Nest, they would be safe. That was their home ground, and the people of the Demon Realm wouldn't dare chase them there.
"Let's go, Uncle Bardock." Talot nodded and said.
"Mm." Bardock knew the gap in strength between them and the enemy, and didn't linger. He turned and was about to head into the spacetime tunnel.
At the instant the three of them moved, Demon God Shroom made his move.
"This is the Demon Realm. How could it be a place where you come and go as you please? All of you, stay here!" Shroom sneered cruelly as he swung the Death Scythe in his hand.
An unparalleled demonic aura surged straight toward Future Vegeta, Talot, and Bardock.
"Not good!! This guy is going all out!!" Future Vegeta immediately sensed danger. Just as he was about to move to defend, he found that someone had already taken a step ahead of him and blocked this destructive attack for him.
That person was none other than King Vegeta!
"Huh?!" Vegeta couldn't believe the Masked King Vegeta in front of him.
His father… had he changed his mind?
"Towa, the masked warriors you modified are getting more and more disobedient. Now they even dare to block my attack. Hmph!!" Shroom showed a look of disdain. A mere Masked King Vegeta was not worth his attention at all.
A piece of trash not even as good as Mira. How could he possibly take him seriously!
"Damn it!! What are you trying to do?!" Towa felt like she was being repeatedly slapped in the face. First Bardock's self-awareness awakened, and now King Vegeta had defected on his own. Where could she put her face now?!
At this moment, Future Vegeta was even more astonished.
He had never expected that his father, who had fallen into darkness, would actually help him.
"Why?" Future Vegeta frowned and asked in confusion.
"Does a father need a reason to help his son? I should thank you, Vegeta. If you hadn't knocked me awake, I might still be blinded by power. Go quickly, I'll stay behind to cover you." The Masked King Vegeta had come to his senses at this moment.
At this moment, the one who had become a slave to power finally showed a trace of what a king should be in Future Vegeta's eyes.
"Hmph! I won't thank you… don't die so easily." Future Vegeta left behind those words and, without looking back, rushed straight into the spacetime tunnel.
As he entered, the spacetime tunnel closed at that moment.
Meanwhile, the Masked King Vegeta was left completely isolated.
"You clearly use the power of our Demon Realm, yet you turn around and help the people of the Time Nest. An ungrateful traitor. Towa, if I destroy this ant, you won't blame me, will you?" Shroom said to Towa with a smile hiding murderous intent.
"Hmph~! Do as you please. It's just a failed experiment." Towa no longer cared about the life or death of the Masked King Vegeta.
She had granted that old thing powerful strength, yet he suddenly turned traitor. Even though the power of the Demon Realm had seeped into his very bones, he still rebelled.
Where could she put her face now?
Such trash could die if it died, she didn't lack a warrior like him anyway.
At worst, she could just find more suitable subordinates in the future.
"Good, then… heh heh heh…" Seeing this, Shroom's eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
In an instant, endless evil power spread out, forming behind him the shape of an evil grin reaper.
This terrifying figure of the grim reaper radiated a destructive might capable of overturning everything, enough to cast all into a bottomless abyss of darkness.
Feeling this horrifying Demon God's might, the Masked King Vegeta clenched his teeth.
There was no turning back after drawing the bow. He knew that this time, he had truly reached the end.
[Vegeta, you have helped me regain the honor that belongs to a king. I should have long disappeared into the river of history. Being able to see you carry the Saiyans forward makes this lingering life worthwhile. This time, your father will not disappoint you.]The Masked King Vegeta sighed inwardly.
Immediately after, he roared loudly, exerting all his strength to unleash the power of the dark mask to elevate himself.
In an instant, violent dark evil energy surged into the sky, and the Masked King Vegeta's aura and power level rose continuously at this moment, becoming increasingly intense and powerful.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he erupted, at most he could only reach the late stage of the Eighth Dimension, unable to step into the Ninth Dimension.
What seemed like just a small difference of one dimension was an insurmountable chasm that the Masked King Vegeta could never cross.
"A dying struggle, that's all. I already warned you, yet you still dare to use the power of the Demon Realm in front of a Demon God. You really are foolish." Shroom let out a long sigh, and the evil grim reaper behind him swung its massive scythe, transforming into a destructive slash that rushed straight toward the Masked King Vegeta.
