With a smirk on his face, Vegeta transformed into his strongest Super Saiyan form. Naraka stumbled backward, utterly stunned.
Naraka: What the—? You have the ability to transform into an animalistic light bulb?!
Vegeta's golden aura erupted like a supernova, his hair spiking up wildly as his Super Saiyan form flared at full power. The sheer pressure made the zircon floors tremble. Naraka actually stumbled—not from fear, but pure shock. He'd never seen anything like this before.
Vegeta: You call THIS an animalistic light bulb?! *Vegeta snarled, before blitzing forward with a speed that cracked the air itself.*
The aftermath of Vegeta's raw attack made the building shake, as if the structure itself was having a raging fit. The entire throne room quaked—walls cracking and black zircon tiles splintering under the force of the Super Saiyan assault. The ceiling trembled as if it might collapse at any second.
Naraka barely managed to block or dodge the flurry of punches and kicks, each strike carrying enough power to level mountains. This wasn't a fight… it was a demolition. For the first time in centuries, Naraka felt genuine pressure.
The Titan simply couldn't understand it; it was completely incomprehensible. This monkey couldn't stand his ground against Frieza or Cell, so how could he possibly be standing his ground against him—the guardian who had pulverized both without straining a muscle? The thought kept making its rounds through Naraka's mind as Vegeta kept throwing punches.
Naraka's mind raced—this shouldn't be possible. Vegeta had lost to Frieza. Lost to Cell. How was he faster, stronger, and more relentless than before? Each punch shook him to his core; his arms stung from blocking, and his ribs ached from near-misses. This wasn't the same weak Saiyan who'd failed in the past. The realization hit like a meteor: Vegeta had evolved. And Naraka hadn't accounted for that.
Naraka: How are you this strong?! *The titan questioned before he could stop himself.*
Vegeta: *His grin was vicious and smug as he heard Naraka's genuine confusion.* You really didn't know? *He taunted mid-punch, slamming another blow straight into the Titan's chest.* I trained. I grew stronger.
The arrogance in his voice was thick… but so was the truth. This fight had just gotten a whole lot harder for Naraka.
Vegeta: I'm still not even the strongest. Kakarot is even stronger than me, *he admitted, though he hated saying it out loud.*
Naraka's eyes widened slightly at the name. Kakarot—the Saiyan who'd defeated Frieza and beaten Cell... a legend even in Hell. Vegeta admitting that someone else was stronger than him? That stung his pride more than anything Naraka could've said.
Naraka: Then why— *the Titan growled between blocked strikes,* —are YOU here fighting me and not HIM?!
Vegeta: That's a story for another time. Now focus on me, you infernal idiot! *Vegeta barked as his punches flew relentlessly.*
Naraka gritted his teeth. Vegeta wasn't giving him time to think, let alone question him further. The punches came like a hurricane, each one forcing the Titan back another step. This Saiyan was relentless. No openings. No breathing room. Just pure, unfiltered aggression. The throne room—once pristine and untouched—was now a warzone of shattered zircon and swirling dust.
Vegeta: *As the dust settled, Vegeta stood towering over Hell's guardian.* What a joke!
Naraka was down on one knee, his body aching from the brutal assault. His pride burned hotter than Hell's flames—he'd been beaten by a monkey.
Vegeta: *He loomed over him, breathing heavily but victorious. The smirk on his face was insufferable.* A joke, *the prince repeated coldly,* to think you rule this place.
Vegeta looked around at his surroundings. Raising his hands, he fired waves of raw energy from his palms, destroying every single piece of zircon in sight, roaring with laughter as he did. Only one fragment remained untouched by Vegeta's rage—the zircon fragment shielded by the Titan's own body.
The throne room—once Naraka's pristine sanctuary—was obliterated in seconds. Walls exploded, floors vaporized, and pillars crumbled into dust under Vegeta's blinding energy blasts.
