Reborn In Dragon Ball World As Goten With Ultra Instinct Power

Goten: "Haha, the opponents I've faced are ridiculously strong."

(Goten said with a faint smile, seeing Goku's excited expression.)

Goten: "In this timeline, there might not be many who can match them."

(What he said was true.)

(While this timeline also had its own Zeno and Grand Priest, the Zeno and Zalama he had fought were on a completely different level.)

(Even if the Zeno and Grand Priest here were to face them, they'd be defeated in an instant.)

Vegeta: "Tch! Stop joking around."

(Vegeta snapped, his voice cold and arrogant.)

Vegeta: "In this timeline, we haven't encountered any opponents we couldn't handle. And you don't know anything about our strength."

(Vegeta's pride was on full display.)

(While he acknowledged that the young man in front of him was indeed Goten, he couldn't accept the idea that there were fighters stronger than himself and Goku.)

(In his mind, they were the pinnacle of power in this universe.)

(Even Supreme Kai, who claimed to be the universe's strongest, was no match for them.)

Goten: "Uncle Vegeta, maybe you should talk less in the future."

(Goten said lightly, his tone calm but pointed.)

Goten: "After all, you might end up embarrassing yourself with the things you say."

(Goten's words were a direct challenge to Vegeta's pride.)

(In this timeline, Goku and Vegeta might be the strongest beings, but Goten knew better.)

(He had faced opponents far beyond their current level.)

(Even the Gods of Destruction in this timeline could easily overpower them.)

Vegeta: "What did you say, brat?!"

(Vegeta growled, his fists clenching.)

Vegeta: "You dare call me a frog in a well? You clearly have no idea how powerful we are. If you did, you wouldn't be spouting such nonsense."

(Vegeta's temper flared.)

(He wasn't used to being talked down to, especially by someone who looked like a younger version of Goku's son.)

Goku: "Hey, Vegeta, calm down!"

(Goku interjected, trying to diffuse the tension.)

Goku: "Like you said, Goten might not know how strong we are now. And who knows? There might be people out there even stronger than us. Remember Majin Buu? We thought we were unstoppable after defeating Cell, but then Buu showed up and gave us a run for our money."

(Goku's words were meant to soothe Vegeta's ego, but they only seemed to irritate him further.)

Vegeta: "Shut up, Kakarot!"

(Vegeta barked.)

Vegeta: "Even if this kid is your son, there's no need to defend him like this. Majin Buu was nothing compared to us now. And if there's anyone stronger out there, I'll defeat them in an instant."

(Vegeta's confidence was unshakable, but Goten couldn't help but smirk.)

(He knew better than anyone how vast the multiverse was and how many powerful beings existed beyond their understanding.)

(The others exchanged glances, used to Vegeta's pride and arrogance.)

(It was just who he was.)

(Goten had grown accustomed to Vegeta's arrogance and chose not to engage further.)

(After all, Vegeta's pride often led to him being humbled sooner or later.)

(This time would likely be no different.)

(Just then, King Kai's voice suddenly echoed in Goku's mind.)

King Kai: "Goku! Can you hear me?"

(King Kai's voice was clear, and it seemed Vegeta and Gohan could hear it too.)

(Even Goten picked up on it, though he showed little interest in what was being said.)

Goku: "Huh? Lord Kai, what's going on?"

(Goku asked, surprised.)

(It had been a while since King Kai had contacted him directly.)

(The sudden communication made Goku curious-and a little nervous.)

King Kai: "Listen carefully, Goku-and Vegeta."

(King Kai's voice was unusually serious.)

King Kai: "What I'm about to say is extremely important. Every word matters, so pay attention."

(The gravity in King Kai's tone made both Goku and Vegeta raise their eyebrows.)

(King Kai was usually a lighthearted and humorous figure, so his serious demeanor was unsettling.)

(It signaled that something big was about to happen.)

Goku: "What is it, Lord Kai? You're making us nervous!"

(Goku asked, his curiosity piqued.)

(Was there a new threat on the horizon?)

(Was that why King Kai sounded so panicked?)

Vegeta: "Yeah, old man, spit it out already!"

(Vegeta interjected, his tone impatient.)

Vegeta: "Don't tell me there's someone stronger than us in this universe. I won't believe it anyway."

(Vegeta's arrogance was on full display, a trait that had carried over from his Dragon Ball Z days.)

(He was far more prideful than his Dragon Ball Super or GT counterparts.)

(But as always, his overconfidence would likely lead to a harsh reality check.)

(King Kai's voice returned, sharper this time.)

King Kai: "Vegeta, put your arrogance aside! The being I'm about to mention is far stronger than you. He's unlike any opponent you've ever faced. A single sneeze from him could send you flying to the edge of the universe.

Killing you would be as easy as lifting a finger for him."

(King Kai's words were a direct rebuke to Vegeta's pride.)

King Kai: "This being will soon arrive on Earth. When he does, do not provoke him. If you foolishly choose to fight him, the entire planet-and possibly the galaxy-could be destroyed because of your stupidity."

(Vegeta's face twisted in anger.)

Vegeta: "Tch! Old man, if you keep talking like that, I'll come over there and teach you a lesson!"

(King Kai ignored Vegeta's threat and continued speaking to Goku.)

King Kai: "Goku, the being you're about to face is the most powerful god in this universe-Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. His strength is beyond anything you've ever encountered. Even at your absolute strongest, he could obliterate you in an instant."

(King Kai's tone was grave, leaving no room for doubt.)

King Kai: "If you value your life-and the lives of everyone on Earth-do not challenge Lord Beerus. I've warned you. What you do with this information is up to you."

(With that, King Kai's voice faded, leaving the group in stunned silence.)
