Chapter 471: Fusion?
Vegeta knew very well just how powerful Uchiha Dali was.
So the moment he entered Ultra Instinct and Super Blue, he didn't choose to sit back and watch. Instead, he jumped straight into the fight, joining Son Goku in a two-on-one assault.
Two Super Blues plus an Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan attacking together caused Uchiha Dali at least a trace of inconvenience—but only a trace.
Even with Vegeta's help, the pressure Goku felt didn't lessen in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Dali still carried that same laid-back, almost playful air, casually handling everything they threw at him.
The two of them threw every technique they had at him, yet they still couldn't bring him down.
They couldn't even hurt him.
At this point, Vegeta was starting to doubt reality.
The Super Saiyan above Super Saiyan God—
This form's power already far surpassed Super Saiyan 3.
Even Vegito, formed by fusing with Goku while both were in their base states, couldn't compare to it.
And yet, despite becoming this strong, he still couldn't pose even the slightest threat to this man.
Despair and frustration washed over Vegeta.
He refused to accept it.
Power raging again, he launched into another frenzied barrage of attacks at Uchiha Dali.
Uchiha Dali easily countered and even teased him, saying, "Looks like you're getting ready for another baby-like deep sleep, aren't you, Vegeta?"
Vegeta clicked his tongue at the remark but didn't respond.
He kept attacking, while Goku continued searching for an opening in Uchiha Dali's defenses.
Gradually, Goku stopped.
Vegeta, not noticing anything off, continued attacking Uchiha Dali with reckless abandon.
Only when he realized Goku had ceased attacking did he stop, stunned, and glance over at him.
"What's wrong, Kakarot?!"
Vegeta assumed Goku was purposely leaving him alone to face this terrifying opponent, and it irritated him greatly.
But Goku shook his head and explained, "You really haven't noticed, Vegeta?"
"Noticed what?"
Vegeta suddenly froze, whipping his head toward Uchiha Dali.
Only then did he finally realize it.
Goku's voice sounded again: "Since a while ago, no matter what we do, we haven't been able to touch his body. Not even once."
"It… does seem that way!"
Cold sweat beaded on Vegeta's cheek.
Looking back on his earlier attacks—attacks he believed were overwhelming in both speed and power, impossible for an ordinary opponent to block—he now realized that Uchiha Dali truly had not been hit even a single time, just as Goku said.
And this was while they were using their strongest battle forms.
If even this wasn't enough to deal with the guy—
Then what were they even fighting for? What the hell was the point?!
Goku looked at Uchiha Dali. "You're using Ultra Instinct too, aren't you?"
He had already seen through it.
Uchiha Dali was completely relying on instinctive reaction to counter their attacks.
Every movement of his was relaxed and natural, in a state of effortless freedom.
If this wasn't Ultra Instinct, what else could it be?
The strange part was that his body didn't show any of the signs of Ultra Instinct—none of the silver patterns that appeared on Goku and Vegeta.
Uchiha Dali smiled lightly at Goku's question. "You're not only talented, but sharp-eyed too, Son Goku."
"But so what if you figured it out? Now then, are you ready to accept defeat?"
Uchiha Dali made no attempt to hide that he was using Ultra Instinct.
In fact, at his level, he existed in Ultra Instinct at all times, without consciously activating it.
And not just Ultra Instinct—the perfected form.
This was one of the key reasons Goku and Vegeta never had any chance of winning from the start.
"W-what?"
"You—you actually know Ultra Instinct too?!"
Vegeta stared in disbelief.
They had struggled so hard to grasp this state after receiving guidance from the Grand Priest.
Yet Uchiha Dali not only knew it—
It was obvious his Ultra Instinct was far superior to theirs.
Such a brutal truth was hard for Vegeta to swallow.
Uchiha Dali let out a mocking chuckle.
He had no interest in wasting more words on his former idols. Slowly raising his hand, he prepared to erase Universe 7.
"Time's up."
"I'm done talking. Everything ends here."
Just then, Goku spoke again.
"Vegeta, fuse with me!"
"W-what!!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Kakarot! I told you I'll never fuse with you aga—"
"But it's the only way we stand a chance. Otherwise, Universe 7 is finished."
Goku spoke seriously.
At the mention of Universe 7's destruction, Vegeta clenched his teeth.
"Hmph! What does the destruction of Universe 7 have to do with me?!"
He turned away dismissively.
"But if Universe 7 disappears, then Bulma and Trunks vanish with it. Is that what you want?"
That hit home.
Vegeta's previously indifferent expression darkened instantly.
"Damn it…"
He clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Uchiha Dali with unwilling fury.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Dali waited patiently.
"Fusion, huh?"
He sounded amused.
A fused warrior born from Goku and Vegeta possessed power beyond imagination.
Their combined strength wasn't simple addition—it was multiplication.
A fused Super Blue Goku and Super Blue Vegeta would gain a power boost far beyond common sense.
Vegito or Gogeta—both represented the pinnacle of Dragon Ball warriors.
Interesting.
Let them fuse. Then he could absorb them afterward.
That might push his strength to yet another level. Reaching the Grand Zeno's tier—or surpassing it—wasn't impossible.
With that thought, Uchiha Dali folded his arms and waited for them to begin.
Seeing his relaxed, almost bored expression instantly enraged Vegeta again.
Grinding his teeth, he barked, "Kakarot! Just this once!!"
"Got it, Vegeta, hehe…"
Goku took out two Potara earrings, put one on himself, and handed the other to Vegeta.
These earrings had been given to them by the Supreme Kai.
They were meant to help the two stop Uchiha Dali's madness.
