Whoosh...
Holding Bulma, Vegeta's entire body was surrounded by golden flames, resembling Goku's Super Saiyan form, except that his hair did not turn golden, but rather had a slight brownish hue.
"Gohan! Krillin!"
At that moment, Goku also caught Krillin and Gohan, and after confirming that they were both okay, he looked at Vegeta with a surprised expression on his face.
"Goku, has Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan?" Krillin asked.
"It doesn't seem like it? Doesn't he look different?" Goku couldn't confirm.
Gohan said, "Dad, Uncle Vegeta's hair isn't turning gold!"
Regardless of whether Vegeta had transformed into Super Saiyan or not, his aura had undoubtedly skyrocketed by several times.
Goku could even feel that Vegeta was now even more powerful than when he had used 10x Kaio-ken at full power!
Bang!
Vegeta put Bulma down and without saying a word, charged towards Aka, emitting golden flames.
"What's going on with this guy? His strength has increased a lot since just now!"
Bang! Bang!
The two of them exchanged blows, each punch canceling the other out, and countless afterimages appeared in the sky and on the ground.
Vegeta and Aka transformed into a golden and purple beam of light respectively, sometimes colliding with each other, sometimes merging into one. The fierce winds swept across the land, causing destruction. Although it didn't quite match the intensity of the battle between Lin Chen and Ginyu in the distance, it was still impressive.
"Go, Vegeta! Kill that fatso! Ow, it hurts! Krillin, be gentle!"
On the ground, Bulma, who had regained consciousness, encouraged Vegeta while Krillin tended to her wounds. However, at this moment, Goku flew over.
"Krillin, take Bulma and Gohan and go first. It's still dangerous here."
"What's wrong, Goku? Vegeta is fighting really well now!" Bulma asked in confusion.
"No," Goku shook his head. "Vegeta has become stronger, but he is still not a match for that guy!"
"How is that possible?" Bulma was skeptical.
But at this moment, the sounds of collision in the sky suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked up and saw that Vegeta, who had been evenly matched with Aka just now, had been slapped in the chest by Aka's claws.
Blood spurted out, and Vegeta's body fell towards the ground like a meteor, leaving a golden trail of light in the sky.
Aka's body flashed and appeared beside Vegeta, then he grabbed his head with one hand, and accelerated towards the ground.
Just as they were about to crash down, Aka suddenly changed course and flew parallel to the ground. However, he held onto Vegeta and slammed him into the ground, creating a hundred-meter-long chasm on the ground.
Afterwards, Aka ascended into the air and circled around before slamming Vegeta heavily into the ground once again. As he continued to swiftly fly, it created a deep and dark chasm that was a kilometer long.
And just as Aka was about to finish off Vegeta...
"Kamehameha!"
"Kamehameha!"
"Masenko!"
Goku, Krillin, and Gohan unleashed their strongest techniques together.
Aka turned around in surprise, and saw three powerful energy attacks coming at him.
In the next moment, a huge mushroom cloud swelled up from the ground.
"Krillin! Take Bulma and leave now! I'll go check on Vegeta!" Goku instructed before flying towards Vegeta.
As he arrived by his side, Goku saw that the golden aura on Vegeta had disappeared, and his hair had returned to its normal black color.
"Are you okay, Vegeta?" Goku asked with concern as he helped Vegeta up.
Vegeta slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was being held by Goku, and immediately pushed him away with disgust.
"Get away from me, Kakarot!"
Goku was pushed away, but Vegeta also fell to the ground in a sorry state.
He exerted all his strength to sit up again, only to find that he had exhausted all his strength.
"Damn it! Pseudo Super Saiyan wasn't enough! Only a real Super Saiyan can deal with this guy!"
"Wasn't that Super Saiyan just now?"
"No, it can only be considered half a Super Saiyan! Damn it! I've done everything I should, but why can't I transform into a real Super Saiyan?"
Goku looked at Vegeta's frustrated face, and suddenly his expression changed. He raised his head and looked at the mushroom cloud from earlier.
A fierce wind blew over, dispersing the cloud.
Aka's figure slowly emerged from the cloud. Although his battle armor was completely torn, there was a mocking smile on Aka's face.
"Vegeta, do you know something about the Super Saiyan that I don't? If you do, tell me now! Otherwise, we'll both die here!" Goku's expression was grave as he said.
"Pah!" Vegeta spat and looked at Aka in the distance, a hint of unwillingness on his face.
After gritting his teeth, he finally spoke, "Anger! A Super Saiyan requires extreme anger as a catalyst! Focus the power on the back to stimulate it! Those were King Links' exact words!"
"Extreme anger? So that's how it is!" Goku's face was filled with frustration and anger. No wonder he couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan again, because he had always thought that all he needed was anger. But in the end, it turned out that his anger wasn't enough.
But it wasn't entirely his fault. After all, with Goku's personality, it's hard for him to get truly angry.
"The game's over! This planet is about to be destroyed. I'll kill you both and then leave!"
"Full Power Wahaha no Ha!" Aka opened his mouth, and a fireball suddenly shot out, with power comparable to the Frost Demon's signature technique, Supernova.
The fireball emitted enormous heat, coloring everything around it red.
The fireball rushed towards Goku and Vegeta and collided head-on with them.
But just at that moment, within the sweeping redness that engulfed the world, a golden light suddenly appeared.
Goku was emitting a golden aura from all over his body, and his hair turned a dazzling shade of gold, causing Vegeta to squint his eyes.
"Aka! The game isn't over yet!"
"Kamehameha!"
Goku raised his hand, and a blue energy blast shot out from between his palms, slamming into the fireball with a thunderous roar.
Like a fire truck's water column, the fireball, which had been emitting immense power, was completely neutralized by the blue energy blast, turning into a cloud of smoke.
Through the smoke, the golden-haired Goku dashed straight towards Aka, starting a new round of battle.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Chen's side
Puchi! Puchi!
As waves of Destructo Disk shot out in midair, Ginyu's body was being sliced into pieces by Lin Chen.
