Above the lake.
Talot and Future Vegeta's fierce battle grew more and more intense. The two continuously clashed, gradually gaining an understanding of each other's attack patterns and fighting styles.
Future Vegeta, already fired up, could no longer care about anything else.
His battle intent surged, and he was determined to win.
"Haah!!" With a loud roar, golden lightning exploded around Future Vegeta. In an instant, he completed the transformation into Super Saiyan Full Power. His strength surged explosively, reaching the mid-stage of the Seventh Dimension. Power condensed as he unleashed a forceful punch like a battering ram.
Seeing this, Talot also instantly activated the power of the Great Ape • Legendary Super Saiyan within his body, completing his own Super Saiyan Full Power transformation. With the support of God Ki, he launched a powerful strike.
'Boom!!!' Space trembled as boundless lightning erupted.
The moment their fists collided, both sides suffered a backlash from the force.
Talot was pushed back two to three meters.
Future Vegeta was also forced back two to three meters.
With the enhancement of God Ki and the power of the Great Ape • Legendary Super Saiyan, Talot's strength had increased by far more than just a little.
"How does it feel, Vegeta?" Talot looked at Future Vegeta in the distance with a smile, teasing him.
At this moment, Future Vegeta lowered his head to look at his faintly aching fist. Though it lasted only an instant, he had clearly felt the terrifying brute force Talot unleashed after transforming into a Super Saiyan.
The mysteries of God Ki were far more powerful than he had imagined.
"Interesting. Within your God Ki, there seems to be another strange force that greatly boosts your strength," Future Vegeta said with a grin instead of anger, the corner of his mouth lifting as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
'Crackle~~!!' Intense blue lightning arcs burst around his body as his aura grew explosively. His upright golden hair became even more rigid and fierce, making him appear colder and more ruthless.
This form was the peak state of Super Saiyan 2!
"Super Saiyan 2? That's not exclusive to you." With that, Talot decisively released a deeper layer of the bloodline power within his body.
With a single thought, the S-cells within him pulsed. In the blink of an eye, he completed the transformation to Super Saiyan 2 peak. The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest leakage of energy.
Compared to Future Vegeta's transformation, his was not inferior in the slightest.
In fact, due to his training in God Ki, Talot's control over his power was even superior to Future Vegeta's.
With soaring battle intent, Future Vegeta raised his right hand. A blue glow flickered in his palm as a finishing move condensed into form.
"Big Bang Attack!!!" he shouted, and the blue energy sphere in his palm shot out, rushing straight toward Talot.
"Spiral Bombardment!!!" Not to be outdone, Talot condensed a spiraling golden energy sphere and fired it from his palm, colliding head-on with Vegeta's Big Bang Attack.
'Crackle~~!!'
At the moment the two energy spheres collided, countless arcs of electricity filled the surrounding space.
Talot's spiraling energy sphere completely devoured Future Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, and with its special properties, directly reduced it to nothingness.
"What?!" Future Vegeta exclaimed in disbelief.
This scene completely overturned his understanding of energy techniques. It turned out that energy attacks were not only for destruction, they could be used in this way as well.
"This is only just the beginning, Vegeta." Talot smiled faintly, spreading his arms as energy pulsed around his body, invisible divine power enveloping him.
Ripples appeared in the surrounding space. Golden energy spheres emerged around him, then were shaped by God Ki into long, slender energy swords.
These attacks imbued with God Ki possessed destructive power far beyond what opponents of the same level could withstand.
Future Vegeta clearly sensed the threat of this move. His brows lifted slightly as he focused with full intensity, growing even more curious about this Saiyan named Talot.
"Divine Sword • Split!" Talot launched his attack at that moment.
Under his mental control, all the energy blades imbued with God Ki around him split apart, transforming into thousands upon thousands of smaller energy blades that shot straight toward Vegeta.
"This kind of trick is useless against me!" Future Vegeta shouted, bringing his hands together and thrusting them forward.
In an instant, a violent torrent of energy burst from his palms like a flood, directly bombarding the small energy blades ahead.
'Boom~~!!' Explosive flames soared into the sky.
Future Vegeta's attack seemed to have annihilated all the small energy blades, but that was not the case.
There were still several hundred energy blades that tore through the thick smoke and continued rushing toward him.
"What?!" Seeing this, Future Vegeta immediately sensed danger. With hundreds of energy blades already closing in, he could only rely on the instincts honed through years of battle to evade.
But the speed of these energy blades was extremely fast. There were a few he could not dodge.
'Puchi! Puchi!' The sounds of flesh being cut rang out.
Two slender energy blades left wounds on Future Vegeta's chest and back.
Bright red blood seeped from the wounds, and the pain caused Future Vegeta's expression to change drastically, dense blood vessels appearing in his eyes.
Seeing Vegeta injured, Beerus and Whis revealed looks of surprise. Perhaps they had overestimated this Future Vegeta…
As for Chronoa, she inwardly cursed her bad luck. Upon seeing Future Vegeta injured, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
Although Future Vegeta had become much more composed, that did not mean he was easy to push around.
If he truly got angry, things would spiral out of control.
If Future Vegeta and Talot fought to the death before taking action, their plan would fail.
As the energy blades dissipated, Talot casually looked at Future Vegeta's condition and reminded him, "This boring warm-up should end. Continuing like this is meaningless. Show your true strength, we'll decide this quickly. After all, we still need to head to the Demon Realm to help me rescue someone, what do you say?"
Hearing Talot's urging, Future Vegeta did not get angry but instead smiled.
"Interesting. It's been a very, very long time since I've been injured. You're far more interesting than I thought," Future Vegeta said, unconcerned with these minor wounds. "You're right, we should settle this quickly."
These injuries completely stirred the Saiyan bloodline within Future Vegeta, causing it to surge violently.
He had played enough, now it was time to fight seriously.
"Haahhh!!!" Future Vegeta let out a loud roar.
This roar was like the furious bellow of a Great Ape, overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying.
This time, Future Vegeta truly brought out his full strength.
The power of the Great Ape erupted completely, a golden aura shooting into the sky as violent energy shook the surroundings and churned the lake.
The moment this astonishing aura burst forth, even Beerus and Whis, watching from outside the battlefield, sharpened their focus.
This Vegeta's transformation seemed somewhat different from what they had expected.
As the light faded, Future Vegeta's appearance changed drastically. He was no longer in the Super Saiyan 2 form, but had instead gathered power and wildness into one, transforming into the Golden Great Ape!
In other words, Super Saiyan 4!
