NOVEL NEXT Chapter 157: Broly Abusing Xeno Vegeta
"Everyone in every timeline is different, so it shouldn't be surprising," Goten said lightly, his expression calm.
If he were exactly the same as Goten in the other timelines, he would have died at the hands of Cell long ago. He was proof that every timeline creates its own destiny.
"Whether you're Goten or not, traveling through timelines at will is a violation of the laws of time," Xeno Vegeta stated bluntly, stepping forward. His sharp tone made it clear he wasn't interested in debating further.
"You must come with us to meet the Supreme Kai of Time."
His commanding demeanor only served to further aggravate Broly, who clenched his fists tightly at his side. His expression darkened, and anger simmered just beneath the surface.
For Broly, Vegeta's very existence stirred complicated emotions. His father had raised him with a deep-seated resentment for King Vegeta, and that anger extended to Vegeta himself.
Hearing Xeno Vegeta's self-righteous and arrogant tone now was the final straw. Broly's frustration boiled over, and his aura began to grow stronger and stronger.
"Oh? What's this?" Xeno Vegeta smirked, noticing the change in Broly's energy. "Are you planning to fight me?"
He took a step closer, his confidence unshaken. To Xeno Vegeta, it didn't matter who this strange Saiyan was or where he came from—he didn't believe Broly could possibly stand against the power of Super Saiyan IV.
And these guys were traveling through timeline willfully, he must bring them back to the Time Nest for questioning.
From Broly's perspective, Xeno Vegeta's dismissive attitude only made things worse. His aura flared wildly, and his expression became more menacing by the second.
"Don't be impulsive, Vegeta," Xeno Goku cautioned, stepping in. "This guy's energy feels... off. It's strange, and it's growing really fast."
Xeno Goku furrowed his brow. He recognized something familiar in Broly's ki, but he couldn't place it. One thing was clear: Broly was no ordinary Saiyan.
"Stop talking nonsense, Kakarot," Xeno Vegeta snapped. "Can't you see these guys aren't planning to cooperate? The best way to deal with someone like this is with force."
Though Broly's aura was unusual, Xeno Vegeta wasn't worried. He and Xeno Goku were both at the peak of Super Saiyan IV—strong enough to face nearly any opponent. His confidence was unwavering.
At this moment, Vados spoke up, her voice calm but firm. "The Time Nest? Mr. Vegeta, you should know that Lord Goten is the Grand God of Destruction. Even if your Supreme Kai of Time were here, she would address Goten-sama with respect."
"Grand God of Destruction?" Xeno Vegeta scoffed, his tone dripping with disbelief. "I've never heard of such a title. Sounds like an excuse to avoid punishment."
No matter the timeline, it seemed Vegeta's pride and arrogance remained a defining trait. He was convinced that Vados was lying to protect Goten and the others.
"That's a little too aggressive, Vegeta," Goten said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "I didn't plan on fighting you, but if you keep pushing, you'll have to be beaten to the ground."
Though Goten didn't hate Xeno Vegeta, the man was clearly being too stubborn. It was obvious that leaving peacefully wasn't an option anymore. If Xeno Vegeta wanted a fight, then a fight he would get.
This was the perfect opportunity for Broly to practice. Even with the strength of Super Saiyan IV, Xeno Vegeta and Xeno Goku together couldn't hope to match Broly, whose Legendary Saiyan bloodline put him on a completely different level.
"Oh? Beat me?" Xeno Vegeta sneered. "Your jokes aren't funny."
Despite the growing tension, Xeno Vegeta remained confident. He could feel the strange energy radiating from Broly, but he didn't believe it was enough to defeat him and Goku.
"Since that's the case, we have no choice," Goten said calmly. "Broly, it's time to fight."
As Goten's words reached him, Broly's aura exploded like a raging wildfire.
Roar!
A deep growl rumbled from Broly's throat as his energy turned a violent grass-green. His black pupils instantly transformed into a golden hue, and his muscles swelled with raw power.
This was Broly's Wrathful Form, a state of immense strength. Despite his anger, Broly wasn't fighting at full power—perhaps because he feared losing control of his more powerful form.
As Broly's transformation completed, he burst forward with blinding speed.
"So fast!" Xeno Vegeta barely had time to react as Broly's fist closed in.
"Vegeta, watch out!" Xeno Goku shouted, realizing Broly's overwhelming speed and strength. But it was already too late.
Broly's punch missed Xeno Vegeta by mere inches as he dodged at the last second, leaping into the air.
Boom!!
The force of Broly's missed attack shattered the ground, creating a massive crater and sending debris flying in all directions.
[T/N: Ngl, I thought they were floating in space lol.]
Xeno Vegeta landed a short distance away, his expression now serious.
"Are you kidding me? Why is this bastard so strong?!"
"This guy hasn't even transformed into a Super Saiyan, and yet his speed and power are already at this level?"
Realizing the danger, Xeno Vegeta clenched his fists and roared.
Haa!!
In an instant, his aura flared, and he transformed into Super Saiyan IV. His crimson fur glowed in the sunlight, and his power surged dramatically.
"You're going down, you bastard!" Xeno Vegeta snarled.
His arrogance returned as he launched himself at Broly, confident that his newfound strength would secure his victory.
Xeno Vegeta descended like a golden meteor, his fist aimed directly at Broly's face.
But Broly didn't flinch. Instead, he raised his hand, effortlessly catching Xeno Vegeta's punch.
"What?!" Xeno Vegeta's eyes widened in shock as Broly twisted his arm and yanked him downward.
RUMBLE!
Xeno Vegeta's body slammed into the ground with a thunderous crash.
Broly roared again, his bloodthirsty eyes gleaming as he prepared to deliver the finishing blow. His massive fist came crashing down like a sledgehammer, showing no mercy at all.
"Damn it! Damn this bastard!" Xeno Vegeta cursed, narrowly dodging the attack.
[T/N: Chinese TL Vegeta is a shrew.]
CRACK!
Though he avoided a direct hit, Broly's fist grazed his ribs, shattering several of them instantly. The force of the blow sent Xeno Vegeta flying across the battlefield.
"Vegeta!" Xeno Goku shouted, his expression shifting from surprise to determination.
With no hesitation, Xeno Goku transformed into Super Saiyan IV and charged toward Broly, ready to engage in battle.
