"Hmph, there's no need to be sad. Life and death are a matter of fate," Vegeta said indifferently. "Besides, I will inherit his wish. He should be happy about that."
Topa: "..."
What kind of twisted logic is that?
"Alright, hurry up and show me your true abilities," Vegeta said.
"You're too arrogant. I'll let you know the true power of a probationary God of Destruction," Topa said grimly.
As he spoke, a purplish-red light erupted from Topa's body, signifying his activation of the God of Destruction form.
"Next, you will experience hellish fear!" Topa stated coldly.
"Oh really?" Vegeta scoffed.
"You'd better be careful. Don't get yourself killed by a single punch from me," Topa warned, rapidly charging towards Vegeta.
Instantly, Topa's fist transformed into a streak of light, striking towards Vegeta.
"Swish!"
Vegeta vanished from his spot.
Topa lunged into empty air, his expression shifting rapidly.
Meanwhile, Vegeta reappeared beside Rumsshi with a flicker of movement.
"Ten thousand years is enough, right? I feel like if this goes on any longer, he'll truly lose his temper," Vegeta whispered. "There's no need to bring out Jiren or anyone else."
"Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm." Rumsshi nodded vigorously, secretly giving Vegeta a thumbs-up.
Rumsshi never doubted Vegeta's ability to win.
Vegeta's base form alone could have made Topa beg for mercy.
Let alone in his current transformed state.
Wasn't Vegeta's struggle against Dyspo earlier just a ploy to continue the deception?
And this guy, Vados, had actually fallen for it.
"Good," Vegeta nodded.
"Swish!"
Vegeta disappeared from his position.
Topa stared, looking left, right, front, and back.
Where is he?
Where did that guy go?
How did he disappear?
I couldn't even see how he vanished?
Vados's eyes widened further.
How could this guy named Dal possess such incredible speed?
I understand now...
Was this guy hiding his strength earlier?
Vados's expression shifted drastically. A flash of insight struck him, and he suddenly understood.
I think I've been tricked.
I've been played!
Rumsshi and this guy were putting on a show!
"Swish!"
Vegeta instantly appeared behind Topa.
"He's behind you," Vegeta's voice echoed from behind Topa.
Topa mechanically turned his head.
"Bang!"
Vegeta delivered a powerful kick, sending him soaring into the sky.
"Whoosh!"
Topa became a tiny speck.
"There, he's unconscious. I win," Vegeta turned to Vados.
Vados's expression darkened further, his face contorting with displeasure.
"You... you were hiding your strength all along, just to trick me, weren't you?" Vados asked coldly.
"You're the one who pestered Lord Rumsshi for a wager. I was merely cooperating with you," Vegeta replied with a smile.
"Do you know the consequences of provoking a God of Destruction?" Vados's face grew colder.
"No," Vegeta stated fearlessly.
Not only was Vegeta unfazed, but he also casually put his hands in his pockets, showing no intention of removing them.
However, the fingers of his hands in his pockets were lightly touching each other.
Vegeta was condensing a small point of light in his left hand with Angelic power and another in his right with destructive power.
Fortunately, Vegeta's pants were quite opaque, making it difficult for others to notice.
"Kid, you're asking for death!" Vados could no longer contain himself and lunged towards Vegeta.
"Slap!"
Rumsshi was quicker. With a gentle lift of his hand, he caught Vados's fist with his large palm.
"That's enough, Vados! Are you a sore loser? How dare you attack a probationary Kaioshin?" Rumsshi shouted.
"Get out of my way!" Vados sneered.
"This was all my idea. It has nothing to do with him," Rumsshi said with a cold laugh.
"You... what did you say?" Vados gritted his teeth, anger flashing across his face.
"That's right, this was all my idea. Dal has absolutely nothing to do with it," Rumsshi declared. "He was just playing along with me!"
"Rumsshi, you're ruthless! I won't forget this," Vados was truly desperate now.
This was...
Ten thousand years!
Before, Vados thought a thousand years would just be a passing phase.
But now, it had escalated to ten thousand years.
This was truly tragic.
Vados felt that his next ten thousand years would be miserable.
How could Vados not resent this guy named Dal?
If you hadn't played along with Rumsshi's act, would I have lost ten thousand years to Rumsshi?
"Vados, don't be a sore loser," Rumsshi advised.
"It's just ten thousand years, is it?" Vados gritted his teeth, casting a sideways glance at Vegeta. A thought struck him, and he nodded at Rumsshi. "I agree."
"Hmph, that's more like it," Rumsshi laughed heartily. "Remember to work hard from now on."
"Stop bragging!" Vados turned away, unwilling to engage further with Rumsshi.
"Ten thousand years, oh ten thousand years." Rumsshi was overjoyed.
"Marcarita, let's go," Vados called out.
"Yes, Lord Vados," Marcarita replied.
"Bang!"
At that very moment, the unconscious Topa fell from the sky, crashing onto the ground of the Kaioshin Realm.
"Swish!"
Seizing this opportunity, Vados moved swiftly, appearing directly in front of Vegeta and delivering a palm strike.
This guy is too hateful!
He dared to trick me.
Let me teach you a lesson.
I won't kill you, but I'll make you wish you were dead.
Vados instinctively believed that his palm strike would connect with Vegeta's chest.
However, something astonishing happened that left Vados stunned.
"Swish!"
Vegeta was even faster. He vanished from his spot with a sudden movement.
"What?" Vados was dumbfounded.
This kid's reaction speed is quite impressive.
"Whoosh!"
Vegeta instantly appeared behind Kai of the same universe and delivered a flying kick, knocking him to the ground.
Kai: "????"
How did I fall?
I was just a spectator.
Why am I the one being hit?
"What? How dare you!" Vados roared in fury and surged towards Vegeta.
Vegeta pointed his foot directly at Kai's head.
"Come and try me. Do you believe I'll crush his head in one stomp?" Vegeta sneered.
Vados: "..."
Vados was scared.
Kai: "..."
I'm innocent, you know.
"You... you wouldn't dare," Vados stammered angrily.
"Your lives are linked, aren't they?" Vegeta chuckled coldly. "If this Kai dies, won't you disappear as well?"
