Struggling to crawl out of the rubble, Goku's small yet muscular body was covered in wounds.
"Goku, watch closely," Beryl said. "Although I'm just an ordinary traveler, if I didn't have some strength, I might have been captured and taken to some strange place while wandering the universe."
She casually set up a barrier and placed Goku inside it.
"An audience should know their place, don't you agree, Goku?"
"I see," Goku said, tapping the barrier's wall a few times. Hearing a crisp sound, the barrier seemed very hard and couldn't be easily broken.
"As Trunks said, you are indeed extraordinary."
Since the white-haired girl in front of him was so confident, Goku didn't force himself. He immediately sat down, leaning against the barrier wall to rest.
He was panting heavily; the short battle with Baby had consumed a tremendous amount of ki.
Beryl flew to a position level with Baby.
And Baby aimed his maximally condensed Final Flash at her.
[Lumine: "Just condensing the energy makes the entire planet shake."]
[Kumoko: "Yeah, it's so scary. Is the Group Leader okay?"]
[Vegeta: "Hmph, he only has this power because he's occupying my body."]
It wasn't Baby who was strong, but he, Vegeta, who was strong.
Even in a parallel world, he was one of the top existences in that world.
Although Vegeta was extremely unwilling to admit that he was far inferior to his parallel world counterpart, from the live broadcast, the Vegeta controlled by Baby was indeed far stronger than his Super Saiyan 2 form.
Also, was Kakarot's golden-haired form Super Saiyan 3?
The battle time was not long; in fact, the camera had just moved to Kakarot when Kakarot reverted from his transformation to his normal state.
Baby... strength beyond Super Saiyan 3.
Everyone watched the live broadcast intently, afraid of missing anything.
This was an existence even stronger than Gogeta.
Perhaps they could discern the Group Leader's strength!
Though this possibility was small.
"Are you done yet?"
Beryl yawned, looking somewhat boredly at Baby, who was gathering ki non-stop as if constipated.
"How dare you look down on me, brat! You'll go to hell in a moment."
"Super Final Flash!"
"Haa—"
A gigantic ki blast shot out from his palms.
Terrifying heat waves propelled forward with the ki blast, rendering everything around them a blinding white.
Seeing the ki blast coming towards her, Beryl's expression remained calm.
Inhale—
However, as she exhaled the air in her mouth—
"Hoo~"
In an instant.
The ki blast flying towards Beryl seemed to encounter some resistance, turning at a 90-degree angle and shooting directly into the sky.
This energy burst through the atmosphere and plunged into the depths of the universe.
Boom—
After a burst of intense light, the entire universe was struck with tremendous force.
Light emanated from the depths of the universe.
Even standing on Earth, one could clearly see it; the entire sky seemed to be enveloped by a dazzling aurora.
Beryl paid no attention to the brilliant spectacle, her gaze thoughtfully sweeping over her opponent.
"Tuffle, is this all you've got?"
"Or is it that Vegeta is too strong, and a low-quality fellow like you can only unleash a tiny bit of Vegeta's power? That's truly disappointing!"
As she spoke, Beryl even used her thumb and forefinger to make a gesture indicating a tiny size.
"You, you... how dare you call me low-quality goods!"
"Good, good, good, you've completely enraged me! You'll regret this!"
At Baby's signal, Gohan and the others quickly gathered.
"Gather your Saiyan power onto me."
After Baby spoke, Gohan and the others transformed into Super Saiyans one by one, transferring their power to Baby.
Like a continuous charge, Baby's appearance slowly began to change.
First, his hair changed from Vegeta's upright style to a pompadour-like shape.
Next, his shoulders gained hard armor resembling the golden vest style seen after a Super Saiyan fusion.
And his muscles rapidly swelled, becoming more intimidating than before.
As power was injected, Baby's combat power surged rapidly.
In the Supreme Kai Realm,
Trunks and Kibito Kai observed the battle on Earth through a crystal ball.
"Seriously, she could have ended the battle, so why wait for Baby to power up? Doesn't that just make things more troublesome?" Kibito Kai grumbled.
"Miss Beryl probably has some other ideas." Trunks didn't know how to respond to the Supreme Kai's words.
"You two idiots."
Trunks and Kibito Kai looked over upon hearing Old Supreme Kai's voice. Old Supreme Kai was still diligently working to unlock Bulla's potential. He had a special method to see the images transmitted back by the crystal ball.
"That lady doesn't care about Baby at all. Even if Baby became twice or even several times stronger, he wouldn't be her opponent. You don't need to worry."
"She said she'd leave it for you to resolve, so she won't resolve Baby herself."
Old Supreme Kai explained helplessly to the two.
Seriously, don't these guys know anything?
A being capable of traversing the universe—is that something a mere Baby could possibly try to provoke?
It's understandable that Trunks doesn't know, but for a Supreme Kai to actually know nothing about this.
He had already told Kibito Kai about the existence of a wider world beyond this one.
But this guy learns quickly and forgets even faster after learning.
If it weren't for his diligence, he wouldn't know how he became a Supreme Kai.
Was it only because all other Supreme Kais besides him were gone?
…
Earth.
"Hehehehehe."
Baby finished charging, and a burst of ki blew away the surrounding Saiyans, who were nearly exhausted.
He looked at his hands and clenched his fists.
He felt an incomparable power within his body.
"Hahahahaha, hahahahahaha!"
"This is the power I've dreamed of! This is strength that surpasses everything!"
After his maniacal laughter, Baby's gaze began to move.
Looking at Beryl, who was waiting for him to gather power, he laughed arrogantly.
"Kept you waiting, brat."
"My current power will shock you!"
"I am no longer the me from before."
Baby pointed to himself with his thumb, a confident expression on his face,
"I have been reborn, transformed into Super Baby, the strongest Tuffle. The entire universe will prostrate at my feet..."
Before Baby could finish speaking, Beryl gently raised a hand.
Baby's body suddenly trembled, then instantly froze.
Feeling his body unresponsive, shock appeared in Baby's eyes.
"Wh-what's going on?"
"Fall!"
Her wrist pressed slightly downwards towards the ground.
Boom!
Baby crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a giant crater.
"Your strength hasn't changed at all; you're still so weak," Beryl said with a tone of disappointment. "In a couple of days, I'll have Goku deal with you. If you're this weak, you might die in a very pathetic way."
Beryl was indeed somewhat disappointed with Baby's strength.
She wondered if Super Saiyan 4 would be able to impress her.
Beryl returned directly to Goku's location, took him to find Majin Buu, and then used Instant Transmission to take everyone back to the Supreme Kai Realm.
