"However, your use of Destruction energy is still lacking. The power is too weak; there's no way you can completely destroy his immortal body with that." Beerus chuckled and shook his head, offering a few words of guidance in a casual tone.
"You... what did you say?" The smile on Vegeta's face instantly froze. His expression shifted slightly as his heart skipped a beat, suddenly realizing something. "You mean, Vegeta Black isn't dead yet?"
"An immortal body, an immortal body—it mainly means the soul is immortal." Beerus picked up a toothpick and began picking his teeth, explaining leisurely. "If the soul can be completely annihilated, even if the body can regenerate, it'll just be an unconscious husk. What? Didn't the 'me' from your world tell you this?"
"He did... but my Destruction energy is already very strong. Is it still not enough to destroy his soul?" Vegeta asked through gritted teeth, his knuckles turning white from the force of his clenched fists.
"I can only say your Destruction energy isn't powerful enough. You're still a long way off." Beerus curled his lip, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"Hmph, if I can't destroy him once, I'll do it again! Until his soul is completely crushed!" Vegeta's voice was low, his eyes erupting with infinite battle intent. The purple-red aura around him became violent once more.
"Good luck." Beerus nodded slightly. After saying that, he stopped paying attention to him and turned back to eat another piece of dessert.
Goku Black, listening from the side, felt his face turn various shades of blue and white, shaking with rage.
Can you guys please consider my feelings for once?! Teaching a lesson right in front of me is just too much!
"Bang!"
Vegeta didn't give Goku Black any time to react. He flashed to his side and delivered a fierce kick to his face.
"Awooo..."
Goku Black let out another scream, falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string, tracing a pathetic arc.
Vegeta immediately pursued, stepping on Goku Black's back and slamming his body into the ground below like he was dragging a piece of trash.
Goku Black's face was deathly pale. Although he had an immortal body and couldn't be killed, the intense pain was all too real, making him almost tear up.
"Rumble!"
Another earth-shattering boom echoed.
Goku Black was stomped by Vegeta, forcefully embedded into the earth below, creating a crater several meters deep. Rocks and dust flew in all directions.
Vegeta leaned over, grabbed Goku Black by the hair, and yanked him out of the pit. His right hand once again condensed Destruction energy, the purple-red light dancing in his palm, filled with killing intent. "This time, let's see how you dodge!"
"Hakai!"
Vegeta's Destruction energy was about to slam into Goku Black.
However, at that critical moment.
"Bang!"
A figure roared in from the distant ruins, moving so fast it was just a blur, and slammed hard into Vegeta's kidney.
Caught off guard, Vegeta felt a sharp, agonizing pain in his side. He instantly lost his balance and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, left dazed and disoriented.
Struggling to turn his head, Vegeta's pupils shrank when he saw who had attacked him.
It was the resurrected Vegeta Black!
This bastard was indeed still alive!
"Damn it!" Vegeta gritted his teeth as he climbed up from the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth, the killing intent in his eyes growing even denser.
Vegeta Black quickly stepped forward, pulling the limp Goku Black up. He stared coldly at Vegeta, the dark green energy around him surging wildly.
"Pah!" Vegeta spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his face filled with intense killing intent. "Looks like I was too merciful just now!"
"Vegeta, you really are stronger than I imagined. I underestimated you." Goku Black recovered his breath, wiped the blood from his mouth, and spoke coldly, his eyes full of resentment.
"I don't need your praise." Vegeta snorted, a smug smile appearing on his face. "So what if your partner recovered? I already destroyed his Potara earring just now. Without the earring, you guys can't fuse into Vegito Black anymore, can you? This time, both of you are dying here!"
"Vegeta, don't you know that Potara earrings can also regenerate along with our bodies?" Vegeta Black suddenly sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"You... what did you say?" Vegeta's face changed repeatedly, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Snap!"
The next moment, a flash of light appeared on Vegeta Black's left ear. A silver Potara earring materialized out of thin air, hanging steadily from his ear.
"No! This is bad!" Vegeta's pupils shrank, his exclamation carrying an unmistakable hint of panic.
The thing he feared most had happened.
"This time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to stop our fusion, will you?" Goku Black's mouth curled into a gruesome grin, his eyes flashing with madness.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body and Vegeta Black's rapidly drew closer.
The two, already close to each other, were instantly pressed together. The moment for fusion was ripe.
"Flash!"
The two figures rapidly overlapped and merged in a burst of purple-red light. When the light faded, a brand-new figure hovered in mid-air.
Vegito Black was born!
His figure was almost identical to Vegito's, with grey clothing outlining his tall frame. But those eyes, filled with violence and evil, were worlds apart from the righteous Vegito.
Vegeta's face instantly turned deathly pale. His knuckles turned white from clenching his fists, and his aura became erratic due to tension.
"You guys call that fused being Vegito, right?" Vegito Black cracked his knuckles, a series of snaps echoing. He chuckled and said, "Then I'll borrow that name for now."
"Boom!"
The energy around Vegito Black suddenly exploded. Golden aura shot skyward, then the light abruptly changed. His hair turned black, and his muscle lines became even more pronounced.
Vegito Black directly activated the Super Saiyan 4 transformation!
But that wasn't all. The next second.
"Snap!"
The golden aura was suddenly dyed with an eerie pink, and fine pink lightning coiled around his body.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
The sound of electricity was constant, and the air became slightly hot from the discharge.
On top of Super Saiyan 4, Vegito Black had stacked the Super Saiyan Rosé 2 form!
A terrifying aura surged from Vegito Black like a tsunami. The earth trembled, the sky was dyed a bizarre pinkish-purple, and even Beerus, sitting on the distant barrier, couldn't help but lift an eyelid.
Feeling that overwhelming power, Vegeta's face grew even grimmer, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.
"Is this the fused power of Son Goku and Vegeta? Damn it! It really is much stronger than Fused Zamasu! No wonder they could easily defeat me back then!" Vegito Black gritted his teeth, his cold gaze locked onto Vegeta. His tone was full of resentment and jealousy, yet it also carried an unmistakable excitement.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegito Black's figure vanished into thin air, his speed breaking the limits of the naked eye.
Vegeta felt a chill down his spine. Before he could react, a sharp, heart-wrenching pain erupted in his abdomen.
"Argh!"
Vegeta clutched his stomach, his body curling into a ball as he fell to the ground in agony. The purple-red aura around him dissipated like a punctured balloon, completely reverting to his normal state.
"Pathetic!" Vegito Black's figure appeared directly in front of Vegeta, his tone full of contempt. Then, with another flash, he delivered a fierce kick to Vegeta's chin.
"Bang!"
Vegeta's body tumbled through the air like a kite with a broken string.
Before he could land, Vegito Black waved his hand, and an invisible repulsive force slammed into him.
"Thud!"
With a dull sound, Vegeta crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up blood that splattered the rocks in a brilliant crimson.
"Is this the power of Vegito? It's truly wonderful!" Vegito Black laughed maniacally, his voice full of madness. He then teleported to Vegeta's side, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him high like a small chick.
"Smack! Smack! Smack!"
The crisp sound of slaps echoed one after another. Vegito Black showed no mercy, giving Vegeta several hard slaps. The force was so great that it knocked out several of his teeth, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Vegeta, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? Weren't you going to eliminate me? Why don't you laugh now!" Vegito Black mocked, his fists raining down on Vegeta like a storm, each punch carrying immense force.
Vegeta grimaced in pain but gritted his teeth, refusing to beg for mercy, his eyes full of stubbornness and rage.
Vegito Black, as if bored with his toy, swung his arm and slammed Vegeta heavily into the ground, creating a shallow pit.
Next, he leaned over and rummaged through Vegeta's clothes for a moment, pulling out a small cloth bag.
It was the bag where Vegeta kept the Senzu Beans.
"Now, you have no way to recover, do you?" Vegito Black sneered. A pink flame ignited in his palm as he brought the bag close.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the bag of Senzu Beans was burned to ashes, scattering with the wind.
Vegeta looked at the ashes flying in the air, his face looking absolutely terrible.
Damn it! This is really bad!
"Flash!"
Vegito Black's figure vanished again, appearing next to Frieza the next second.
At this time, Frieza was stepping on Broly Black's head, grinning maliciously while whipping him with an energy whip, completely unaware of the change on Vegeta's side.
It wasn't until Vegito Black's aura approached that Frieza suddenly looked up. He was visibly stunned when he saw the other's appearance.
This face looked like both Vegeta and that Goku Black, familiar yet incredibly strange.
"Another poor soul who had his body swapped?" Frieza raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, his tone full of mockery.
"Frieza, your opponent is me. Let him go." Vegito Black snorted, his cold gaze sweeping over the Broly Black on the ground.
"Oh? You're sure you want to stand up for this piece of trash?" Frieza's interest was piqued, a hint of battle intent flashing in his eyes.
Vegito Black gave a confident smile, offering no further words.
"In that case, I'll send this trash on his way first." Frieza flicked his wrist, tossing Broly Black into the sky like a piece of garbage. Immediately after, a purple energy sphere condensed in his palm, and he thrust it forward.
"Boom!"
The energy sphere struck Broly Black with pinpoint accuracy. Accompanied by a massive explosion, a blinding light swallowed his body. When the light faded, Broly Black had vanished without a trace, leaving not even a ripple of energy behind.
"Come on then. I hope you're not as boring as that piece of trash just now." Frieza rubbed his nose, staring at Vegito Black with a smile, a faint purple glow shimmering around him.
"Hmph, I hope you can still smile in a bit, you disgusting-looking lizard!" Vegito Black mocked without hesitation, his tone full of disdain.
"You dare insult me, Frieza?" Frieza's smile instantly froze. His face darkened, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes. He shot forward, his foot lunging toward Vegito Black's chest with lightning speed.
Vegito Black casually raised his arm and easily blocked the kick. Frieza's ankle was firmly clamped in his grip, unable to move an inch.
Frieza: "..."
Frieza was visibly stunned, unable to hide his shock. The power behind that kick was immense, yet the opponent had blocked it so effortlessly?
"Frieza, did you skip breakfast? Your strength is pathetic." Vegito Black sneered, his wrist applying a slight amount of pressure.
Frieza felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and his expression changed instantly.
"Kid, you're too arrogant!" Frieza erupted in rage. Purple light flared around him as he broke free from Vegito Black's grip, throwing a punch toward his face. The wind from the punch howled, carrying a sharp, air-tearing sound.
"Bang!"
The punch landed squarely on Vegito Black's face with a dull thud. Yet, Vegito Black didn't budge an inch—he didn't even blink. Instead, it was Frieza's fist that felt a numbing sensation of pain.
"As expected of the strongest fusion! This defensive power is truly remarkable!" Vegito Black felt the slight vibration on his cheek and sighed with satisfaction, his tone full of delight.
"Fusion?" Frieza was startled, frowning as he looked at him, completely failing to understand what the opponent meant.
"Now, it's my turn to attack, right?" Vegito Black's mouth curled into a wicked smile, and his figure suddenly vanished.
"You want to attack me, Frieza? Don't make me laugh!" Frieza was about to take a defensive stance when a sharp pain erupted in his abdomen.
"Bang!"
Vegito Black's foot slammed squarely into Frieza's stomach. The immense force caused Frieza's face to distort instantly. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly into Vegeta, who was just struggling to get up.
"Oof!" The two of them cried out as they collided, tumbling to the ground in a heap, covered in dust.
Vegeta grimaced as he pushed Frieza off and struggled to his feet.
"Vegeta, what the hell is going on? Who is this guy? How does he have such power?" Frieza gasped for breath, clutching his stomach, his face full of confusion and gravity.
"He's the fusion of Vegeta Black and Goku Black. You can call him Vegito Black," Vegeta said in a low voice, his expression growing grimmer as he stared at the nearby Vegito Black. "They fused using the Kaioshin's Potara earrings."
"Fusion?" Frieza wiped the blood from his mouth, his frown deepening.
"It uses the Potara earrings to rapidly combine the power of two people into a much stronger individual," Vegeta explained, his tone carrying a hint of despair. "By the way, the Vegito formed by Kakarot and me is incredibly powerful. This guy inherited that fused power... This time, we're simply no match for him."
Frieza: "..."
A brief silence fell over the scene as Frieza's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He finally realized just how terrifying an existence he had provoked.
Frieza suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "This kind of fusion should have a time limit, right? It can't last forever."
"Yes, one hour," Vegeta nodded.
Frieza's mouth twitched even more violently.
One hour? Given the strength the opponent just displayed, they'd probably be beaten into meat paste in less than ten minutes.
"Hey, give me a Senzu Bean. That kick just now wasn't light," Frieza said, reaching out his hand toward Vegeta as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta looked at Frieza's outstretched hand and felt like he wanted to die. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and snapped, "The Senzu Beans were stolen by that guy! He's already destroyed them all! Who told you to act all high and mighty and refuse to eat one earlier?!"
Frieza's hand froze in mid-air, his expression instantly collapsing into silence.
Just then, Vegito Black walked over slowly, followed by the newly recovered Broly Black. It turned out Frieza's energy attack hadn't completely killed Broly Black; it had only severely injured him. Thanks to his immortal body's regenerative powers, he had stood back up.
"Hey, you fused guy, and Zamasu. I, Frieza, am just here as a bystander," Frieza suddenly put on a flattering smile, cupping his hands toward Vegito Black. "If you don't mind, I'll be leaving now! You guys keep playing, I won't disturb you!"
Vegito Black: "..."
"Hmph, you think you can just leave now?" Vegito Black sneered, his cold gaze sweeping over Frieza. "You beat my comrade like that. Today, you must die here!"
"Don't be so heartless!" Frieza immediately switched to a fawning smile, rubbing his hands together. "Actually, I, Frieza, am also on the evil side. We're birds of a feather! How about I join you? What's that saying... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?"
"Fine." Vegito Black smiled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He casually condensed an energy blast and tossed it toward Trunks.
"Bang!"
The energy blast exploded not far behind Trunks. The powerful shockwave sent Trunks, who was suppressing Zamasu, flying. He tumbled through the air and crashed heavily to the ground, knocked unconscious with blood seeping from his forehead.
"Tr... Trunks!" Seeing this, several veins popped on Vegeta's forehead. His aura became violent again, and he looked like he wanted to tear Vegito Black apart right then and there.
"Oh, who got knocked out? Ah, it's Trunks," Vegito Black said with mock surprise, his tone full of sarcasm. "My bad. He must be the weakest one here, right? I just released a tiny bit of energy, and he's already out cold."
At this moment, Zamasu, who had been getting thrashed by Trunks, was rapidly recovering thanks to his immortal body. His wounds healed at a visible rate, and his aura gradually climbed back up. Soon, Zamasu was back at peak condition. He walked toward Trunks with a face full of rage and killing intent, clearly intending to take his revenge.
"No need to rush, brother," Vegito Black stopped him. "Let's deal with these two first. We'll save that Trunks for last and torture him slowly."
Zamasu looked at Vegito Black and nodded. Without another word, he flashed and appeared behind him. Broly Black also moved, standing on the other side of Vegito Black. The three of them formed a pincer formation, surrounding Vegeta and Frieza.
"Frieza, have you made up your mind? Didn't you say you wanted to join us?" Vegito Black looked at Frieza with a playful smile, though a hint of killing intent was hidden in his eyes.
"Of course! I, Frieza, am a man of my word!" Frieza nodded immediately, a fawning smile on his face. Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Vegeta.
Vegeta's heart jumped into his throat, and he immediately went on high alert. He knew Frieza's personality all too well. This guy was always out for himself. If he really defected to save his own skin, Vegeta would be completely finished.
"Since you want to join us, kill Vegeta first. That's not too much to ask, is it?" Vegito Black's mouth curled into a cold arc, his eyes full of mockery. "Or can you not even show that much sincerity?"
"Well then, Vegeta, don't mind if I do." Frieza immediately raised his right hand, condensing a faint purple energy in his palm and aiming it at Vegeta's chest. He put on a ruthless expression. "My death was partly your fault anyway. Ending you personally now counts as settling an old grudge. You won't blame me, will you?"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, the veins on his temples throbbing.
"Frieza, Lord Beerus is watching from above. Get a grip on the situation first," Vegeta snorted, pointing a finger toward the sky with a warning tone.
Frieza's pupils shrank. He followed Vegeta's finger and looked up. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and he quickly retracted his energy. "Oh ho ho ho! Just a joke! I was just trying to lighten the tension. Don't take it seriously!"
Frieza laughed awkwardly to smooth things over, his back already drenched in a cold sweat.
...
High above, the barrier acted like a transparent dome, isolating Earth from the outside world. Whis and Beerus sat at the dining table, looking for all the world like they were watching a play from the balcony.
"Hmph, that idiot Saiyan!" Beerus gritted his teeth, his claw poking forcefully at the cake on his plate, his heart full of annoyance. "Did I not make myself clear enough? I said that Vegeta Black he blew up wasn't dead yet. Instead of finishing him off with a Hakai, he went chasing after Goku Black like a fool! Now look—those two trash fused into a monster. Is there even a hope of turning this battle around?"
