NOVEL WEB Chapter 209: Teaching Them a Lesson
"Stop getting carried away, you bastard! Don't think that the next time I attack, I can be so brash. I was just not ready just now, and I didn't exert my full strength."
After hearing Beerus's arrogant tone, Vegeta instantly became angry. The shock and seriousness on his face disappeared in an instant. It was undeniable that Beerus was much stronger than him. Even as Supreme Kai had said, this was the strongest opponent they had ever faced! But the strength of Super Saiyan 4 was not weak, and he refused to be so easily dismissed by the cat-like god in front of him.
"Yeah? Then you'd better unleash a stronger force in the next battle! Otherwise, I will destroy you without hesitation..."
After hearing Vegeta's defiant tone, Beerus didn't destroy him immediately but decided to give him another chance. After all, his main goal for coming to Earth was to find the Super Saiyan God from his dream and have a proper fight. Since he hadn't found one yet, he hoped Vegeta could at least offer a good battle.
"Oops!! The power of Lord Beerus is far stronger than Vegeta! Obviously, Vegeta is no match for Lord Beerus, and neither am I."
Goku frowned as he observed the battle. He could tell that Vegeta had already used nearly all his strength in Super Saiyan 4, yet Beerus blocked his attack effortlessly. This meant Beerus' power far exceeded their expectations—far beyond what Super Saiyan 4 could achieve. Even if Vegeta could power up further in his anger, it still wouldn't be enough.
"What did you say, Goku? Vegeta is now in Super Saiyan 4 form. Is it really impossible to defeat that Lord Beerus?"
"Even if the two of you work together, is there no chance?"
Piccolo frowned. The sheer power of Beerus was overwhelming, but could it really be that even if Goku and Vegeta teamed up, they would still lose? If so, this god was truly beyond comprehension.
"As surprising as it is, it's true, Piccolo. Even if Vegeta and I teamed up, we wouldn't be able to defeat Beerus."
"Just now, when he clashed with him, I felt it. This power is at a level we simply cannot reach."
Goku's serious expression remained as he spoke. Even though Supreme Kai had warned them about Beerus' power, neither he nor Vegeta had believed it. They had absolute confidence in their Super Saiyan 4 forms. But now, that confidence was crumbling bit by bit.
Goku then turned to look at Goten. Goten had claimed earlier that his power far surpassed Beerus', and that even a billionth of Beerus' power couldn't compare. Perhaps, just perhaps, Goten was telling the truth.
At that moment, Vegeta roared in the sky.
Haa!
Golden energy erupted from his body instantly.
Rustle!!
The air trembled as his ki surged. Vegeta's aura was indeed stronger than before, but only slightly. At this level, defeating Beerus was impossible. Nothing would change.
"Oh? Just a little bit of power? It seems this form is already your limit. Disappointing. I thought you had more, but it seems I shouldn't have expected anything."
Seeing that Vegeta's power hadn't changed significantly, Beerus looked bored. He had thought Vegeta might have another transformation. That was the only reason he hadn't destroyed him immediately. But now, it was clear—this was Vegeta's limit. If so, there was no longer any reason for him to exist...
"Next, this prince will beat you in an instant."
After increasing his strength slightly, Vegeta roared again and charged at Beerus. He knew Beerus was powerful, but after showing off this much, he had no choice but to follow through.
Boom!!
As Vegeta lunged forward, Beerus casually kicked him in the chest.
Click! Crack!!
A loud crack echoed as Vegeta's chest collapsed inward, a clear footprint imprinted on him. Like a falling meteorite, he crashed straight onto the deck of the luxury cruise ship.
Rumble!
The deck shattered into a massive crater upon impact. Vegeta reverted to his base form, writhing in pain. At this moment, he was seriously injured—completely incapable of continuing the fight.
"Hmph! Pathetic weakling. With this little power, you think you can challenge a God of Destruction? What I despise the most is those who lack proper respect for gods."
"So, I will destroy you all..."
As Beerus finished speaking, a massive sphere of destructive energy formed in his palm. However, just as he prepared to unleash it, the energy in his hand suddenly vanished.
Son Goten, watching from the sidelines, had erased Beerus' attack with just a thought. He wasn't ready for this battle to end so soon. Although Vegeta had been arrogant, and it was enough to warrant his death. More importantly, Chi-Chi and the others were still here, and Goten wouldn't allow Earth to be destroyed so easily.
At that moment, both Beerus and Whis widened their eyes in shock. Especially Beerus—he had just realized something terrifying. He could no longer use his destructive power!
