…
Back when Son Goku first told the Z-Warriors about the upcoming Universe Martial Arts Tournament, Vegeta and the other two Saiyans had happened to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
After they came out, the other Z-Warriors entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as well.
Later, Vegeta was defeated by Son Gohan and eventually returned to Bulma's estate in a thoroughly miserable state.
As a result, he had completely missed the news about the Universe Martial Arts Tournament.
He also had no idea that Son Goku had already gone to the Other World to train!
"You didn't know?"
Bulma froze for a moment.
But after thinking back on what had happened, she realized that no one really had told Vegeta, Raditz, and the others about it.
So Bulma explained the upcoming match between the Seventh and Sixth Universes.
After hearing everything...
Vegeta's entire face flushed red.
"The prize is the Fruit of Life?! Then I'm participating too!"
The temptation of "eternal life" was simply too much for anyone to resist.
As for Earth's Dragon Balls…
Vegeta had already learned from Bulma that the Dragon Balls had their own limitations. They couldn't actually grant a wish for true immortality.
Bulma covered her face.
She had discovered that every Saiyan reacted exactly the same way after learning about this tournament.
"Wait!!"
Vegeta suddenly shot to his feet and stared intensely at Bulma.
"Over the past year, I haven't seen Kakarot even once. I haven't even sensed his aura. Where did he go?"
After saying this, Vegeta suddenly developed a bad feeling.
"He went somewhere else to train."
Bulma didn't bother hiding it.
"Damn you, Kakarot!"
Vegeta clenched his fists tightly.
That bastard Kakarot had actually gone off to train again behind his back!
At the same time.
Two streams of rainbow-colored light appeared in the sky.
As soon as they appeared, two terrifying divine pressures spread across the entirety of Earth.
Thud!
Thud!
…
Earth's inhabitants all collapsed to the ground.
Vegeta couldn't withstand the pressure either and was forced down onto the ground.
"Bu… Bulma, be careful!"
Vegeta tried to stand up and protect Tights's younger sister, but he couldn't even move.
However.
At some point, Gran had already appeared in front of Bulma.
"Gra… Gran!"
Vegeta raised his head.
Gran's tall figure entered his field of vision.
Compared to Vegeta's miserable state, Gran looked completely relaxed.
And when Vegeta looked into Gran's eyes, he could even see a trace of disdain directed toward the two figures in the sky.
So this is what a true powerhouse should look like…
Gran glanced back at Vegeta, then at Bulma, who was still shaken from the pressure.
Then he stepped into the air.
From Bulma's perspective, Gran's figure gradually grew smaller as he rose higher and higher.
Yet somehow, the radiance surrounding him seemed to become increasingly dazzling.
"Gran is seriously so cool!"
Bulma wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth again, grinning like an idiot.
The next moment...
"You two really think it's a good idea to come all the way here acting this arrogant?"
BOOM!
BOOM!
Earth-shaking collisions immediately erupted high above them.
Vados and Whis exchanged a glance before simultaneously raising their staffs.
A barrier instantly formed, blocking the shockwaves from the battle overhead and preventing them from reaching Earth.
Vados stared at the battle in the sky.
"Whis, it seems Gran hasn't improved much over these past two years."
Whis's mouth twitched.
"Gran may enjoy training, but you can't seriously treat him like some kind of training fanatic, can you?!"
"Oh-ho-ho-ho~ True. Lord Beerus has lived for so long and still hasn't reached his level. One mustn't rush these things. Gran is still so young, so he really shouldn't devote himself solely to training."
"…"
While the two siblings, Vados and Whis, casually chatted away...
Champa became furious.
"Can't you two project the battle for me?! I can't see Gran's movements!"
He could see Rumsshi and Liquiir's movements clearly enough.
But Gran was simply moving too fast.
Champa genuinely couldn't see what he was doing.
Vegeta's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this.
Back when he and Raditz had invaded Earth, Vegeta had already learned from Beerus that Gran's strength was no weaker than that of a genuine God of Destruction.
Yet the God of Destruction from the Sixth Universe had just admitted that he couldn't even see Gran's movements!
Doesn't that mean Gran has already surpassed the Gods of Destruction?!
"Hmph. Lord Champa, you actually have the nerve to say that," Vados mocked. "I told you not to keep slacking off all the time, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you now—you can't even see Gran's movements anymore."
"What does this have to do with me slacking off?!"
Champa puffed his cheeks angrily.
"It's because Gran is just too damn abnormal! It's not only me. Even Rumsshi and Liquiir can't see his movements, okay?!"
Champa couldn't see Gran's movements, but he could clearly tell that Rumsshi and Liquiir were constantly getting beaten up.
Obviously, they couldn't see Gran's movements either.
"I really can't with you."
In the end, Vados helplessly projected the battle taking place above them.
In the projection, Gran hadn't entered his Super Saiyan 4 state.
His appearance looked almost exactly the same as his normal state.
Black hair.
Black pupils.
However...
Anyone familiar with Gran would immediately notice the difference.
The contours of his body had become even sharper, while his gaze had grown considerably more piercing.
This was his Mystic State!
In this state, Gran's power had reached the early stage of the Seventh Divine Realm Tier.
Combined with the Ultra Instinct he had activated, his movements were as graceful and effortless as an elf's—light, natural, and impossible to predict.
Rumsshi's pure power, meanwhile, was only at the early stage of the Sixth Divine Realm Tier.
Liquiir's pure power was even lower, at the early stage of the Fourth Divine Realm Tier.
In terms of raw power alone, they were already inferior to Gran.
And that was before taking into account the fact that Gran was also using Ultra Instinct.
"My God!!"
Vegeta stared at the projected battle overhead.
His entire body trembled.
The main reason was that Gran's movements were simply too outrageous.
Even when someone attacked him from behind, Gran could effortlessly dodge as though he had eyes in the back of his head.
Is he even human anymore?
No.
These guys are already gods!
"Vegeta, isn't Gran amazing?"
Bulma stood beside Vegeta, proudly lifting her chin.
She looked as though Gran being powerful somehow meant that she herself was powerful too.
"Ama… amazing!"
Vegeta nodded vigorously.
"?"
Bulma looked slightly surprised.
It seemed that her brother-in-law really had become much more humble.
"This is the first time I've ever witnessed a battle between Gods of Destruction."
Vegeta let out a sigh.
"Every single one of their movements contains terrifying martial arts principles. Even with the battle projected right in front of me, I can't comprehend them."
"If I had to face any of these Gods of Destruction, I'd probably have died countless times over by now."
"So at least I know my own limits."
Bulma immediately broke into a grin.
She patted Vegeta on the shoulder.
"Not bad, not bad. Make sure you don't go back to being as arrogant as you were before. Try being a little more humble from now on."
"Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you."
Vegeta:
"…"
