Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

With the eruption of the masked Bardock, the power of the Dark Realm became increasingly entrenched, strengthening his body while gradually corrupting his soul.

If Bardock is allowed to unleash this power, his soul will be corrupted, and even if he removes the dark mask, he will still be unable to escape the control of the Dark Realm.

"Excuse me, Uncle Bardock." As soon as he finished speaking, Talot's eyes suddenly changed.

The divine energy pool within his body was activated as his will erupted.

In an instant, a violent and terrifying blue pillar of divine power shot into the sky, its sacred and vast divine might sweeping across the dark demon realm.

The melodious divine music resounded, and the vast blue light seemed to become the only ray of hope in the dark demon realm.

The moment this divine power erupted, even the demon gods in the dark demon realm were drawn to it.

For these demons, it was especially incredible, because such a thing was almost impossible.

It was like a white dot suddenly appearing in the darkness.

In the dark realm of demons, there are people who can wield divine power.

They lurked in the darkness and, through their special means, discovered the source of this divine power.

These demons remained quietly hidden in the shadows, observing the battle without choosing to intervene.

At this moment, Bardock, the masked figure, seemed to be affected by this divine power. Most of the dark power surrounding him was dispelled, and in a daze, his rationality was somewhat restored, but it was quickly swallowed up by the dark power again, turning him into a tool without self-awareness.

Bathed in blue divine light, Talot has completed his transformation.

Super Saiyan Blue Full Power State.

The moment his transformation stabilized, Talot struck first, unleashing his divine power and crashing into Bardock like a meteor.

The explosion caused by the collision of the two was deafening and incredibly loud.

At this moment, a fierce battle broke out.

Talot's swift and thunderous attack swept over Bardock's body like a sudden storm.

Bardock, following his body's instincts, fought while dealing with Talot's attacks and searching for a way to severely injure Talot.

"Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!..." One after another, explosions more terrifying than muffled thunder roared out.

The fierce battle between Talot and the masked Bardock intensifies, with divine and evil lights flashing in the space.

The two fought in a meandering manner high in the sky, exchanging hundreds or even thousands of blows in just a dozen seconds.

Each collision caused the solid dark demon realm space to tremble violently, showing signs of collapsing under their power.

As the battle continued, Talot keenly noticed something strange.

Bardock the Mask seems to have gotten used to his attacks as the battle progressed, and has developed a special fighting style specifically designed to counter him!

Moreover, that dark and sinister evil power intensified, making Bardock's fighting prowess grow stronger and stronger.

The battle then shifted from a stalemate to a draw, until finally, Tarot's Super Saiyan Blue form showed signs of being suppressed by Bardock's mask.

Although Talot had not yet used his full strength, he knew that if he did, it would probably not make much of a difference, because what he needed to do was not to defeat Bardock the Mask, but to rescue him.

So... how can we save them?

Talot's mind raced as he faced Bardock's onslaught while searching for a way to rescue him.

Until the very end, his keen insight revealed something.

The evil aura emanating from Bardock the Mask seemed to be suppressed by his divine power, in a state of about to erupt but unable to fully erupt.

"Could it be...!!" A flash of inspiration struck Talot, and he thought of a way to break the deadlock.

Perhaps, the power of a more powerful god is the key to awakening Bardock's consciousness.

……

Located outside the battlefield.

Tova and Mira had emerged from the depths of the Crimson Castle, watching the battle with great interest.

"Ara ara, it seems the experiment went quite successfully. Both of these masked warriors are able to demonstrate considerable combat ability. You two should fight to your heart's content. The more intense the fight, the stronger you will become!" Towa's face revealed a cynical and wicked smile.

In her view, this battle was just an experiment.

It serves to test the masked warriors' combat abilities while also turning them into complete slaves to power.

Especially that Saiyan named Bardock.

They went to great lengths to capture this guy before finally managing to take him down.

When Bardock was taken to the Dark Realm for modification, he resisted with astonishing willpower. The modification was successful only after paying a considerable price.

But Tova knew that Bardock was not completely controlled by the power of the Dark Realm.

This guy's willpower is stronger than anyone imagined. Even though he's temporarily under control now, there's a possibility of him reviving, unless he can unleash the power of the demonic seed within him without restraint.

The stronger the outburst, the deeper the person becomes lost, until finally, even a high-ranking god cannot save him.

She didn't care at all about the masked King Vegeta on the other side.

This guy's evil power has seeped into his very bones, making it impossible for him to sever his connection with the Dark Realm.

Back then, they traveled through time and space to find the dying King Vegeta, and after reviving him, they began to bewitch him, promising him great power, but on the condition that King Vegeta cooperate with them to complete human modification.

Because this guy volunteered, Towa deliberately preserved his self-awareness. King Vegeta has now completely become her servant.

The evil forces have seeped into her soul; the masked King Vegeta could not possibly betray her.

Only death can bring liberation.

But given this guy's personality, would he commit suicide? Obviously not.

"Vegeta and that Saiyan both have very high energy levels, but they're not high enough for me to make a move." Mira's gaze swept over the two of them, her eyes full of disdain.

As an artificial life form warrior created by Towa, he was incredibly powerful; he was the one who carried out the capture of Bardock.

He is very similar to the Saiyans in some ways.

They are all beings born for battle.

Suddenly, Mira had a thought and turned to Tova, asking, "Should we input their data into that child's body?"

"I'm already entering their data. I won't waste a single bit of it. Let the masked warriors squeeze every last drop of value out of them," Towa sneered.

The Dark Demon Realm is the home ground of the demons.

In Towa's view, Tarot and the future Vegeta are already fish on a chopping board, with no way to escape.

……

On Vegeta's side of the battlefield in the future.

Unleashing his bloodline power, Future Vegeta unleashed his Super Saiyan 4 form, launching increasingly fierce attacks, each one possessing earth-shattering might.

He seemed to be trying to awaken his father, the masked King Vegeta, in his own way.

"You once taught me that we Saiyans are the number one warrior race in the universe, the strongest race, and that glory and pride are essential for a king. But now, you have abandoned everything you once had. Is this filthy power really that important? Wake up!!!" Future Vegeta roared furiously, unleashing his absolute domineering power, which slammed into the face of the masked King Vegeta.

With a loud "Bang!!"

King Vegeta suffered a devastating blow, flying backward like a cannonball, half of his mask shattering completely, revealing his clenched teeth and furious expression.

"The new power I gained by giving up everything could not possibly be wrong!! The one who is wrong is you, my son!!!" Masked King Vegeta refused to accept this cruel reality.

He spread his arms and let out a roar more hysterical than that of a wild beast.

The evil power that had seeped into his very bones erupted with his roar, and dark, malevolent light shot into the sky, causing turmoil throughout the world.

At the same time, the dark mask he wore resonated with it, drawing out an even more powerful evil force, which erupted like a volcano.

This fierce aura is already very close to the mid-stage of the eighth dimension.

It's easy to see why King Vegeta was so stubborn.

Before obtaining this power, his combat strength was only slightly over 10,000 points. In contrast, now, under the extreme state of unleashing evil power, coupled with the blessing of the Dark Mask, his combat strength has skyrocketed to the eighth dimension. No matter who it is, they will lose themselves to it.

However, when Vegeta sensed this powerful energy, he remained unmoved, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"My father, you have no bottom line! Since you are determined to use this power, then I will show you how weak this power you have sacrificed everything for is!!!" At this point, Future Vegeta could no longer tolerate it and directly took out the divine power he obtained in the God of Destruction world.

"Splash! Splash!"

Under the burning of divine fire, the future Vegeta's black hair gradually sublimated into Super Saiyan 4, and his body hair turned into a bright deep red.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the Super Saiyan 4th Stage: Limit Break state!

This time, he truly gave it his all in facing his father.

That's giving King Vegeta with plenty of face.

"The form has changed again? Son, I am very happy that you have achieved what you have now, but... our positions are different, my path... is different from yours!!" After revealing his true thoughts, Masked King Vegeta assumed the classic stance for unleashing the Garic Cannon, clearly about to unleash a powerful attack.

"That's right, our paths are indeed different, but I will show you the difference between the power of upholding Saiyan pride and honor and the power you gained by giving up everything!!" Future Vegeta said, assuming the same stance as when unleashing the Garic Cannon.

The combined energies of the two sides formed a stark contrast: one bright and radiant, the other shrouded in darkness.

The masked King Vegeta's Garic Cannon is blackish-purple, while Future Vegeta's Garic Cannon is white-purple.

"Dark Galik Cannon!!!" Masked King Vegeta thrust his hands forward, unleashing his ultimate attack with a thunderous roar.

"Super Galik Cannon!!!" Future Vegeta also unleashed his ultimate attack.

"BOOM!!!" The moment their ultimate techniques collided, an unparalleled destructive shockwave expanded in all directions.

The entire area within a hundred miles was thrown into turmoil.

The battlefield between Talot and Bardock the Mask was also affected.

The two sides' ultimate moves were locked in a stalemate, seemingly evenly matched, but that was not actually the case.

Vegeta has immense reserves of power in the future, and he is far from unleashing the true potential of Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break.

In contrast, King Vegeta stands to the side wearing a mask.

He has reached a critical point; no matter how much power he extracts through the Dark Mask, he cannot change the course of the battle.

"Why?! My power... Impossible!! How could my power be so much weaker than yours?!!" The cruel reality was right in front of him, and the future King Vegeta could hardly accept it.

"Nothing is impossible! Saiyan power surpasses everything. You, who have abandoned arrogance and glory, how could you possibly defeat me?!" With a roar, Future Vegeta exerted force with both hands.

A loud bang!

In an instant, a torrent of violent energy burst forth from his palm, instantly crushing the Dark Galik Cannon of Masked King Vegeta.

The devastating energy struck the future King Vegeta's body, unleashing an incredible super explosion.

In an instant, the sky within a radius of several miles was engulfed in flames from the explosion.

As the light faded, in the center of the explosion's thick smoke, the future King Vegeta, covered in wounds, crashed to the ground. His battle suit was completely torn, and even his dark mask showed signs of collapsing at any moment.

"Pride... Glory... The power of a king... Did I... ultimately make a mistake...?" Masked King Vegeta fell into confusion after his defeat.

He began to question whether the power he had acquired was legitimate.

The outcome is decided.

In the future, Vegeta, as the victor, looked down at the fallen Masked King Vegeta and did not make another move.

No matter what, they are father and son. This blood bond is thicker than water and cannot be severed so easily.

The only difference between them is that they have different paths to obtaining power.

On Tova and Mila's side.

"Sigh~! What a disappointment. I used two Dark Realm Crystals on you and strengthened you so much, but you still lost. It's really embarrassing." Towa covered her face in deep disappointment. The performance of this masked King Vegeta was too awful.

"I'll deal with that guy." With the defeat of Masked King Vegeta, Mira volunteered and flew out quickly, arriving in front of Future Vegeta in just a few seconds.

"It's you again, Mira." Future Vegeta was no stranger to Mira; they had fought several times before. (End of Chapter)
