His attacks were completely ineffective. Vegeta gritted his teeth, his offensive erupting even further, lightning-fast attacks assailing Son Goku's weak points from different directions.
Son Goku, who had been passively defending, was caught off guard by this.
Riding the wave when ahead, turning the tables when behind – this seemed to be a consistent flaw of the Saiyans.
Regardless of how strong they were, or how vast the difference in strength might be.
However, after continuously neutralizing a dozen or so of Vegeta's moves, Son Goku had seen through Vegeta's attack patterns.
"I've seen through your attack style!" he declared. Son Goku evaded Vegeta's attack with an extremely precise angle, landing a full-force punch right in Vegeta's abdomen.
Bang!!!! Struck heavily, Vegeta flew backward like a kite with a broken string, bright red blood scattering in the air, exceptionally eerie.
Boom! Boom! Boom!... Vegeta, sent flying, crashed through several rocky mountains in succession before finally stopping.
He was buried in the rubble, his life hanging in the balance.
The battle seemed to have ended here...
No! Not yet! Boom!!! Vegeta, buried in the rubble, suddenly erupted again, his violent energy shattering everything around him.
After being injured, his aura not only didn't diminish but increased, and the anger accumulated in his heart reached its peak.
"Damn it! How could this Prince be so easily defeated by you!!" Vegeta, who had been suppressed repeatedly, was seeing red.
He leaped into the air, reaching thousands of meters in altitude, his entire body's energy swelling, white-purple flames swirling rapidly, adopting a stance to release energy.
Undoubtedly, this was the prelude to a big move.
Sensing Vegeta's constantly increasing aura, Son Goku showed no fear.
"Then bring it on." Son Goku stood his ground, his sharp eyes fixed on Vegeta in the high sky.
Crackle~~!!!
The wind and clouds shifted, lightning raged, and the heavens and earth within dozens of miles trembled violently due to Vegeta's massive eruption.
Before long, Vegeta's ultimate move was formed.
"If you have the guts, take this head-on!!! *Galick Gun!!!*" A white-purple lightning energy cannon blasted out from Vegeta's palm, carrying the might to destroy a star, heading straight for Son Goku.
The terror of this attack was even comparable to an attack with a Battle Power of 300,000.
However, after sensing the power of this attack, Son Goku not only didn't fear it but became even more excited.
"Here I come!! Haaaaaa!!" Son Goku erupted with his aura, immediately crashing into Vegeta's Galick Gun like a ray of dawn.
This action surprised Talot, Raditz, and Selari, who hadn't expected this kid to be so decisive.
Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Yamcha, and even Nappa couldn't help but sweat for Son Goku.
Son Goku, like a blade cutting through everything, split Vegeta's Galick Gun in two. This infinitely powerful energy cannon couldn't stop Son Goku's advance! "What?!" While Vegeta was shocked, Son Goku had already rushed in front of him.
Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist, unleashed with force!! Boom!!!!!!!!! The infinitely powerful fist struck Vegeta's chest, the ultimate fist piercing through Vegeta's body, cutting the clouds behind him in half.
Puh-ah~~!!! Struck by the devastating blow, Vegeta spat out blood, his body falling towards the ground, weightless.
[No, impossible... I am a Prince... How could I lose to a Saiyan brat... I... I'm not reconciled!!] At this moment, Vegeta had reached the absolute limit.
No matter what he still had hidden, it was useless now.
Son Goku looked down at the constantly falling Vegeta, his expression suddenly serious, without any emotional fluctuations.
He had actually held back in that punch, otherwise, this blow would have been enough to kill Vegeta directly.
After all, this was unleashed by him in his Super Saiyan state.
Victory or defeat, decided! ...
On the ground.
Vegeta's eyes were blurred, and his aura had dropped to an extremely dangerous point.
Having been attacked by Son Goku's Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist, he was exhaling more than inhaling, with one foot in the Gates of Hell.
If he didn't receive treatment in a short amount of time, this Saiyan Prince was afraid he would lose his life.
The group watched, not acting immediately, while Nappa in the distance was already stunned, trembling all over.
Son Goku slowly descended from the sky, finally landing beside Vegeta, canceling his Super Saiyan transformation, and looked at the barely breathing Vegeta before him.
Although he had held back, the difference was still too great.
Moreover, the power of the technique was too strong for an ordinary opponent to withstand.
"As expected, I still can't use the Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist recklessly; he's almost dead," Son Goku said with deep regret.
The young him was still kind-hearted.
Besides, Vegeta wasn't really invading like in the original story.
So he didn't intend to kill Vegeta, but he couldn't help the result.
He couldn't control the power of Super Saiyan at will yet.
The next second, Son Goku suddenly sensed three presences approaching.
Without a doubt, Talot, Selari, and Raditz were coming closer.
Seeing his older siblings arrive, Son Goku said with a slightly urgent tone, "Brother Talot, Brother Raditz, Sister Selari, he's dying, what should we do now?"
He didn't want to see anyone die in front of him, even if the Vegeta before him might not be a good person.
Raditz and Selari looked at Talot upon hearing this.
In their opinion, it didn't matter whether Vegeta lived or died; it had no impact on them.
Talot reached out and ruffled Little Goku's head, saying, "You don't want him to die, do you? Kakarot."
"Yeah, he's a very strong opponent. I have a feeling he might become very strong in the future. I still want to fight him someday, after he also becomes a Super Saiyan, and defeat him fair and square..." Son Goku's answer satisfied Talot. Raditz and Selari exchanged glances upon hearing this.
"I understand. Since it's your request, Kakarot, I'll save his life," Talot said with a slight smile. Even if Son Goku hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have let Vegeta, the male second lead of the original story, die.
Instead, Son Goku's active request gave him an excuse to directly heal Vegeta.
The Vegeta before him had one foot in the Gates of Hell. Using a Senzu Bean to heal him would be a bit of a waste; his healing ability could pull him back from the brink of death.
Raditz and Selari showed some strange expressions when they saw Talot planning to save Vegeta.
But neither of them stopped him.
After all, what Talot did was always right.
Talot slowly walked to Vegeta's side, aimed his right arm at Vegeta, opened his five fingers, and activated his healing power.
'Buzz~~!!' Emerald green life energy flickered in Talot's palm.
Emerald green energy particles surged towards Vegeta's body.
The injuries on his body recovered at a visible speed, and his life force rapidly rose. In a short while, he returned to his peak condition.
Vegeta, who had stepped into the Gates of Hell, suddenly contracted his pupils, and his eyes quickly focused.
He had actually come back to life.
After waking up, Vegeta exerted force and quickly distanced himself from Talot and his group.
"Looks like you've recovered well, and you're even stronger than before," Talot said, retracting his healing ability, crossing his arms, and teasing Vegeta with a smile.
"My body... and my power has increased so much... what's going on? You, you saved me??!" Vegeta, who had recovered, felt an unprecedented change and couldn't believe it.
The surging power within his body was even stronger than when his potential had exploded earlier. If converted into Battle Power, he estimated that he now had at least close to 500,000 Battle Power!
He knew that this was the Saiyan's characteristic of greatly increasing their strength after a near-death experience. He had used this method time and time again to challenge his limits and greatly increase his strength when he was in the Frieza Force.
But the increase in Battle Power after recovering from such serious injuries in the past was far less effective than this time.
Vegeta wouldn't know that if the Saiyan's characteristic was deliberately used, the effect would be extremely poor.
The reason why he improved so much this time was because his body, his consciousness, and his soul truly realized that he was going to die, so his strength increased so much after being resurrected.
Now, if he were to fight Son Goku in his Super Saiyan state again, he wouldn't say he had a 100% certainty of winning, but at least he would have a chance to fight.
Not far away, Nappa saw that Vegeta had recovered and came over.
Vegeta, who had calmed down, swept his complex gaze over Talot and his group before him.
The two sides confronted each other again, the atmosphere becoming extremely heavy, making it difficult to breathe.
For Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, they didn't dare to make a single sound.
No one spoke, maintaining silence with each other.
After his strength increased, Vegeta's perception became more acute, and at the same time, he was even more shocked by the power of Talot and his group.
Whether it was Talot, Raditz, or Selari, they were all powerful beyond his imagination.
The unfathomable energy within them was like an abyss, unable to reach the bottom, like a vast universe, boundless.
In front of them, he was like a small boat on the sea, small and helpless.
"You... why did you save me?!" After pondering for a moment, Vegeta took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions as he asked.
"You have to thank my brother Kakarot for that. If it weren't for him pleading for you, you would probably be dead already," Raditz replied first, his tone teasing.
Vegeta gritted his teeth, ignored Raditz's words, and stared straight at Talot, waiting for Talot's answer.
"If you really want a reason, it's because there are so few of our Saiyan race left, and we have a common enemy," Talot said casually.
Having received Talot's affirmative answer, Vegeta gave up.
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you saved this Prince, this Prince will be grateful to you. I lost this battle, but next time, I will definitely win back!" Vegeta's eyes burned with a will to never admit defeat.
Years of forbearance had made Vegeta's heart extremely tough. No matter how many times he failed, he would get up and grow at an extremely fast speed.
This trip to Earth, although a considerable blow to him, was also very rewarding.
"It seems that after these years of enduring in the Frieza Force, our Prince Vegeta has changed a lot. At least, he is no longer as arrogant and self-centered as before," Talot said with a slight smile, teasing.
"Is that so? I don't think he's changed much compared to before. On the contrary, Nappa has changed a lot. I remember that he used to be easily enraged and extremely brutal. He even flirted with Selari and was severely beaten by Selari... Now that his strength has become stronger, he has become cautious and submissive!!!" As soon as Raditz finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, making his back chill.
A deep chill surged through his body, and Raditz turned his head stiffly, only to see Selari's eyes, radiating a cold light, staring at him coldly.
"That, that, uh~! The weather is really nice today. Did I say something just now? Haha, hahahaha~!" Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Raditz hurriedly changed the subject.
Little did he know that his awkward behavior stunned everyone present.
"Hmph!!" Selari snorted coldly, turned her head to the side, and said nothing.
Nappa, who was on the side, was already sweating profusely, and could only scratch his bald head like an idiot, panicking in his heart, fearing that Selari would settle old scores and kill him in one fell swoop.
Vegeta quickly ignored this matter, realizing that continuing to stay on Earth would not be a good thing, turned around and said coldly to Nappa, "Let's go, Nappa. There's no need to continue staying on Earth."
Vegeta's words surprised everyone present.
"Oh? Didn't you come to Earth for the Super Saiyan transformation? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Or are you giving up?" Talot asked with interest.
"My purpose has been achieved. After fighting with that kid, I have already seen the Super Saiyan, and I have also felt the power of the Super Saiyan. So even without the method you provide, I can achieve it! Next time we meet, it won't be like this time," Vegeta's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Everyone, including Talot, did not expect that Vegeta would directly comprehend the power of the Super Saiyan because of this battle with Son Goku.
As the Prince of the Saiyans, his talent was indeed monstrous and extraordinary.
Vegeta had found his path, and Talot exclaimed in his heart that he was indeed the male second lead of the original story.
Vegeta is indeed Vegeta.
...
Vegeta wanted to leave, but Nappa hesitated.
For Nappa, you found a way to transform, but I didn't.
Nappa also wanted to become a Super Saiyan, otherwise why would he have been so eager to see Talot and the others?
If he left Earth like this, then how would he transform? Following Vegeta, he would still be reduced to being a subordinate in the future.
He also wanted to be like Raditz.
Nappa's helpless eyes shifted back and forth between Vegeta and Talot's group, his heart extremely miserable. He couldn't resist either side...
