The Kamehameha and the Galick Gun collide in between Raditz and Vegeta. The two Ki waves formed a huge ball of light, their energy engulfing everything around like a small black hole, attracting gravel, vegetation, and even creating a vortex in the air.
The turbulent tornado overwhelmed everything, turning the ground into a true ruin, leaving only two individuals standing in the radiant light in the air.
"Oh, ah!" Vegeta shouted repeatedly, fueling his power with intense determination. His forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were filled with a fiery rage.
Raditz, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, feeling the strong resistance but still maintaining his composure.
"You've lost!"
A loud shout echoed as Raditz suddenly exerted force. The Kamehameha was enveloped in red flames, resembling a hungry lion swallowing Galick's gun, surging toward Vegeta!
The reddish tidal wave engulfed Vegeta, and a tremendous shockwave spread throughout the planet. Continuous explosions echoed, reducing low-altitude rocks to powder.
Gradually, the smoke dissipated, revealing a disheveled and panic-stricken Vegeta.
Covered in scars, his hair frazzled, one of his hands obviously less flexible. His clothes were tattered with dark holes, and blood stained his mouth. However, his eyes still burned with an unyielding spirit, supported by his furious power, refusing to succumb.
"Why did you stop in the end? Coward!" Vegeta raged.
"I didn't expect you to figure it out," Raditz dismissed. "I didn't want to kill you, so I didn't use my full strength..."
"Enough!" Vegeta interrupted Raditz.
His pride was once again wounded. To say "I won't use my full strength" implied he was unworthy, a blatant insult. Vegeta clenched his fists, trembling with anger, experiencing the taste of defeat at the hands of his once subordinate.
Things that were previously unimaginable had occurred. A surge of hot blood rose in his throat, unsure whether to swallow it back or let it burst forth.
"You see it now, this is my strength. Will you consider my proposition?" Raditz questioned.
"Hah!" Vegeta spat out blood. "I refuse! I am the Saiyan prince; I won't obey your commands!"
In the end, his inner pride triumphed. He couldn't bear to return like a defeated army. Even if Raditz possessed the power to enhance his strength, he couldn't submit directly.
This was the dignity of the Saiyan prince! He could be defeated, but he would never acknowledge defeat!
"Go to hell, you so-called prince!" Raditz couldn't hold back any longer, rushing forward and grabbing Vegeta by the hair.
"What good is being a prince? Even the planet Vegeta is destroyed, what good is a handful of survivors if they don't listen to your words?" Raditz grew infuriated by Vegeta's stubbornness and slammed his hair forcefully into the ground.
"Ah!"
Vegeta crashed into the already devastated ground.
His back formed the shape of the character that was once very popular the yamcha style defeat, his breath hitching with cold air, his muscles sore, and exhaustion overwhelming him.
Suddenly, he noticed a radiant sphere reflecting in the vast sky. His heart raced wildly, his pupils dilated, and adrenaline surged through his veins.
A full moon!
No, it was an artificial moon! The halo surrounding it was not natural—it was man-made!
Vegeta had no time to consider its origin as thick hair began sprouting from his body, and he grew larger and more massive. As a skilled warrior, he could still maintain his rationality in this transformed state and seize the advantage once again!
With this realization, Vegeta laughed maniacally, opening his arms to embrace the impending catastrophe!
Meanwhile, in the distance...
Tien Shinhan's third eye darted around as his voice trembled, "Did he win?"
"It seems so. Goku?" Krillin replied, unsure.
Son Goku nodded. "When they weren't using their full power, their strengths were similar. But once Vegeta used the Galick Gun, Raditz gained the upper hand. Vegeta has already lost."
Holding onto his head, Yamcha looked at the scene in disbelief. The once-considered weak Raditz had actually defeated Vegeta. It was utter madness!
Just as everyone was about to approach, Vegeta's laughter resonated in their ears. A colossal figure emerged from the ground, akin to a towering mountain, sending shockwaves through everyone!
A giant!
Latiz was astonished. There shouldn't have been a full moon today. How did Vegeta manage to transform?
Still recovering from the surprise, the giant Vegeta charged toward him.
Enormous in size, his speed undiminished, his power so immense it defied belief. Raditz was thrown into the air, his nose stinging, feeling as though a thousand needles pierced him simultaneously.
Raditz crashed to the ground, trembling, his nose broken, dark red blood streaming down his face, his lips tinged with a smoky red.
"Raditz, die!"
Vegeta violently lunged at Raditz, delivering a powerful kick.
With barely any strength left, Raditz was nearly reduced to pulp under the force of the kick. Countless rocks were sent flying, and dust filled the air like a sandstorm.
Raditz narrowly managed to evade the attack, swiftly dodging and evading, attempting to create distance. But the giant body leaped into the air, forming a massive arc, casting a shadow that darkened Raditz's path. With a resounding "thud," Vegeta landed.
He was even faster than Raditz.
Without hesitation, the colossal Vegeta unleashed his overwhelming power. His attacks were so mighty that even the Earth couldn't endure them.
Raditz exerted three times the power of the Kaio-ken, yet he was still battered by the giant Vegeta, leaving behind a trail of blood. Although he avoided a fatal blow, he endured a tremendous impact. Blood-soaked, he landed on the ground, coughing up large amounts of crimson.
Three times the power of the Kaio-ken couldn't compare. Raditz hadn't anticipated such an incredible force from Vegeta's assault. It was overwhelming!
Vegeta had been worn down for so long, but he still had more than 10,000 power level left within him? If only he had put more power into the Kamehameha!
Undoubtedly, the clever Saiyan was not an easy opponent, especially one as astute as Vegeta.
If Vegeta hadn't been injured prior, Raditz wouldn't have stood a chance at survival. Even with the enhancement of the Kaio-ken, it was challenging to confront the giant Vegeta!
The storm grazed Raditz's cheek like a razor. He wiped his chest with his hand, fingers gradually curling into a fist.
"Damn!"
Rolling for a moment, Raditz took cover under a stone. What followed was a massive beam of light emitted from the giant Vegeta's mouth, forming a beautiful arc in the horizon.
"Raditz, today is your final day!" the deathly cry resonated as the giant closed in on Raditz, pressing down on him like a mountain, launching a punch that struck Raditz's body with a deafening blast.
However, this time, Raditz didn't retreat. He raised his hands, a surge of red aura enveloping him, blocking the giant's attack!
Blocked? Vegeta was momentarily taken aback.
"Five times the power of the Kaio-ken!" Blood gushed from Raditz's mouth, the strain on his body immense. But what he sought was Vegeta's momentary distraction. He seized the opportunity and charged toward Vegeta.
Radiant shockwaves!
Though lacking in air, the waves radiated from Raditz's hands and targeted Vegeta's eyes.
In an instant, Vegeta placed his hand in front of his eyes, and the powerful shockwaves collided with the back of his hand, creating a burst of mist.
Blood trickled down the furry giant hand, dripping onto the scattered rocks.
Raditz was slightly astonished, that vegeta blocked that.
"I'll slaughter you!" An enraged Vegeta lunged at Raditz, closing the distance almost instantly.
Unable to dodge!
Raditz again burst forth at five times the power of the Kaio-ken, still feeling the tremendous pressure, as blinding light enveloped him.
Unable to evade, Raditz had to withstand the impact head-on, bracing himself against the shockwaves!
When the light subsided, the red aura surrounding Raditz disappeared. He tumbled through the air, landing on the ground. He gasped heavily, his body aching, joints sore. The strain from his previous resistance had prevented his complete escape, but the physical burden had taken its toll. His muscles could no longer muster their full strength.
"Ha ha ha! Very clever, but your demise is inevitable!" Vegeta burst into laughter.
Taking a giant stride, he closed in on Raditz.
"Huff... Must I transform into an Oozaru? If I lose control..." Raditz forced a smile, furrowing his brow.
Five times the power of the Kaio-ken was his limit. If he went all out, he could match Vegeta, but now he had depleted a significant amount of energy. Moreover, the durability of the Oozaru form far surpassed that of the 5x Kaio-ken.
At this point, there was no way for him to win without transforming into the Oozary. It was a gamble.
His tail was still intact. Originally kept for research purposes, it now came in handy. He gazed at the sky, searching for the moon's presence, and there it was—an artificial moon.
Simultaneously, Raditz's body start to undergo a transformation!
