Chapter 221: A Classic Reappearance, Vegeta Sacrifices Himself for the Explosion!
“Jiren!”
Vegeta, who had just recovered, couldn’t help but shout out the name when he saw the terrifying figure high in the air.
“Your appearance here means that Kakarot…” Vegeta’s words trailed off, his brow furrowing deeply.
“If even Kakarot is… then our Universe 7… damn it!”
Vegeta slammed his fist onto the arena floor, his face filled with unwillingness and frustration.
In the next moment, his figure suddenly vanished from his original position, charging directly toward Jiren?!
“Hyah!!”
With a loud shout, Vegeta pushed his speed to its absolute limit!
His body streaked across the air in a blue line, halting abruptly just in front of Jiren.
Boom!
Vegeta’s full-power strike stopped just an inch from Jiren.
It was as though an invisible wall of air had appeared before him, an eerie and unnatural force.
“Damn it!!!”
Vegeta roared in frustration, his fists flying in rapid succession, each punch coming faster than the last, gradually becoming nothing more than streaks of light!
But no matter how fast he moved, each punch could only stop just an inch from Jiren.
Watching Vegeta’s furious attempts, Jiren felt a flicker of annoyance.
With a wave of his massive hand, Vegeta was sent flying through the air, crashing far away.
“Damn you, Final Flash!!!”
In mid-air, Vegeta stabilized his position, gathering energy in both hands and shooting a powerful energy wave toward Jiren!
This was Vegeta’s strongest form, his battle spirit soaring to the heavens, his roar echoing with fury!
But, in the face of absolute power, all of this was in vain.
Seeing Vegeta struggle, Jiren remained expressionless, his voice calm but cold: “Compared to Son Goku, you are still too weak.” A strike aimed directly at Vegeta’s heart.
“What?!”
Vegeta’s eyes burned with rage as he glared at Jiren!
When had the Saiyan Prince ever been humiliated like this?
Seeing Jiren prepare to leave, Vegeta moved forward once again, appearing like a comet, standing right in front of Jiren.
“Since Kakarot has fallen, then I will defeat you!”
“You? Why should I let you?” Jiren mocked, clearly unimpressed by Vegeta’s bravado.
“Because of this!” Vegeta shouted as he unleashed his true ultimate move!
With a thunderous roar, Vegeta’s energy surged to new heights!
Just as everyone thought Vegeta was about to explode with rage, Piccolo, who had mysteriously appeared in the stands, looked at Vegeta with a grave expression. A bad thought flashed through his mind.
“Could it be… that Vegeta is…”
“What is it, Uncle Piccolo?” Gohan, who had appeared beside him, noticed Piccolo’s unease and asked curiously.
Piccolo shook his head and whispered, “If I’m right, Vegeta is about to use the self-destruct technique he used against Buu…”
“What?!” Gohan sprang to his feet in shock.
Even though Gohan was known for his calm demeanor as the most composed Z Fighter, he couldn’t sit still at this moment.
Hearing Gohan’s words, the crowd turned in disbelief, all thinking the same thing:
“Vegeta… is going to self-destruct?”
Krillin stood frozen, staring at the yellow light blossoming on the arena, as if he could see Vegeta’s life force draining away bit by bit.
“That guy…”
Beerus gritted his teeth, his lips trembling slightly.
He never expected Vegeta would go this far!
Even if Vegeta won after self-destructing, he would disappear from this world forever…
As the thought crossed Beerus’ mind, his expression grew solemn.
He turned away, no longer looking at the arena.
Meanwhile, the arena was already half-encased in Vegeta’s yellow energy!
Even Fang Ye had left the scene!
Toppo stood motionless, his hands gathering destructive energy. Under his command, it coalesced into a massive destruction energy sphere!
The two powers collided head-on!
Boom!!!
The collision of these two energies sent a terrifying shockwave that surged toward the stands!
Buzz… The Great Priest reacted quickly, casually tapping his finger in the air. A protective shield instantly appeared over the audience, preventing them from being harmed.
“Thank you, Great Priest!”
The crowd bowed deeply, grateful for his protection. The Great Priest waved his hand lightly.
“Continue watching the match.”
On the arena, the clash between the two energies created a massive explosion!
And the battle between these two forces continued!
Like a bouncing ball, the energies twisted and shifted, both seeming to try and consume each other!
“Haah!”
Toppo unleashed everything he had, the purple-black destructive energy rising rapidly!
Visibly, it began to devour Vegeta’s golden energy!
Realizing this, Vegeta pushed himself even harder, attempting to fuel his self-destruct technique to its maximum power!
“Useless, hahaha!!!” Toppo laughed loudly as his destructive energy completely overwhelmed Vegeta’s self-destruct explosion, as if it was being consumed!
Seeing this outcome, Toppo laughed with glee!
Not long ago, he had been defeated by Vegeta. Now, he was getting his revenge!
Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the purple-black destruction energy!
The unexpected shift forced Toppo to grow serious, pushing all his power into the destruction sphere!
However, the golden energy’s assault was relentless, piercing through the destruction energy, creating huge holes, and ultimately shattering it completely!
In the next second, the massive explosion erupted, akin to a nuclear bomb going off, shaking the entire void!
Fang Ye turned back to look, just in time to see Toppo’s figure swallowed by the explosion.
The aftershock of the blast swept across the arena, clearing away everything in its path.
Several people were knocked out of the ring, and the number of fighters visibly shrank.
After a long while, the explosion finally subsided.
A giant crater had formed on the ground, thick smoke billowing upwards!
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps could be heard coming from the pit—Jiren had emerged.
Even his clothes were damaged to some degree, a clear indication that Vegeta’s self-destruct had caught him off guard.
Looking at Jiren’s slowly retreating figure, the crowd was left in stunned silence.
“Such terrifying power… and yet, it didn’t cause any real damage. Could it be that Jiren really is a god?” Krillin stared at Jiren as he walked away.
Despite having the same bald head, the difference in power between him and Vegeta was staggering.
Sighing deeply, Krillin slammed his fist against the railing.
“Damn… Vegeta…”
For a moment, the Universe 7 audience was deathly silent.
Suddenly, a familiar, hoarse voice came from the depths of the crater!
“Hey, don’t spread rumors that I’m dead!”
Piccolo reacted first, his eyes lighting up with excitement as he shouted, “Vegeta?!”
“What the… Vegeta, you’re not dead?!”
“You damn bald bastard, if you thought I was dead, you were hoping for a good time, weren’t you!” Vegeta’s voice, filled with irritation, came from the pit.
In the distance, Jiren heard the commotion, and though his eyes remained closed, he understood what had happened.
He glanced up at Toppo, who had been knocked out and was now unconscious, then looked back at the exhausted Vegeta. He gave a slight nod.
“You’re strong.”
