Chapter 38 38: Vegeta the King of Show-Offs Gets Beaten Up!

"Vegeta, you need to understand something. This universe is vast. You are not the only strong one, and there are countless beings stronger than you. Just as you don't understand how strong others are, you also don't understand how arrogant you truly are!"

As a Supreme Kai, Shin couldn't tolerate Vegeta's arrogance and immediately fired back.

"I don't care how strong others are. I only know one thing—you are not my opponent!"

Vegeta replied coldly, then slowly rose into the sky.

He would prove his strength with action.

Wasn't Dabura feared by this so-called god?

Then he would kill him himself.

Let's see what expression Shin would have afterward!

"Vegeta, what are you doing?!"

Shin's face changed drastically as he shouted, "If you reveal yourself like that, Babidi will definitely notice—"

Before he could finish—

"Not good! Lord Shin, Dabura has already spotted us!"

Kibito cried out.

"…It's over."

Shin's face turned pale instantly, a sense of helplessness washing over him.

"Over? What's over?"

Zeru glanced at him indifferently.

Honestly, while he wasn't fond of Vegeta's personality—

He disliked Shin's cowardice even more.

"You…"

Shin opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words.

"Just watch."

Zeru said calmly.

"There's a saying—man can overcome heaven. And that 'heaven' includes you so-called gods."

Shin fell silent.

He didn't dare argue.

Because he suspected—

Zeru was also a god.

And not just any god.

A terrifying one.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly—

Several projectiles shot through the air.

"Move! Dabura's saliva can turn people to stone! Anyone touched by it will be petrified!"

Shin shouted.

In the sky—

Vegeta had already deflected the attack.

But when he looked down—

His glove was turning to stone.

With a snort—

He tore it off and discarded it.

Then—

He raised his hand and beckoned at Dabura.

"You… come here and die."

Arrogant.

Proud.

Overbearing.

Vegeta embodied all three perfectly.

Even Zeru couldn't help but complain internally—

Weak strength, but top-tier at acting tough.

If there were a "King of Show-Offs" in Dragon Ball—

It was definitely Vegeta.

"Hehehe…"

Dabura chuckled at the provocation, completely unfazed.

He turned to Babidi.

"Lord Babidi, leave them to me."

"Good! I'll go feed Majin Buu. But leave a couple alive—I might need more energy."

Babidi nodded and descended into the underground ship.

After he left—

Dabura glanced at the others nearby.

Then—

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Three spits.

Instant petrification.

His own subordinates—

Turned to stone.

"…He actually killed his own allies?!"

Krillin and the others were shocked.

Their eyes instinctively shifted to Vegeta—

Who had once done the same.

"Heh. Not bad. Ruthless enough."

Vegeta smirked.

Then—

Boom!

He powered up and charged forward.

Whoosh!

His speed was incredible.

But—

Dabura didn't move.

He simply raised a fist.

Boom!

One punch.

Vegeta—

Was sent flying.

"I thought you'd be stronger, boasting like that. Turns out… you're nothing."

Dabura sneered.

"Anyone can talk big."

"Heh."

Vegeta stabilized himself.

Then—

Transformed.

Super Saiyan.

Power: 180 billion.

"Interesting… transforming to gain power?"

Dabura raised an eyebrow.

"Very interesting."

"But…"

"Not enough."

Whoosh!

This time—

Dabura attacked.

The two clashed.

Fists collided.

They fought from sky to ground—

Then back to the sky.

Explosions echoed constantly.

Boom!

A mistake.

Dabura caught it.

Another punch—

Vegeta was sent flying again.

Before he could recover—

Dabura was already there.

A barrage of attacks.

Fists.

Kicks.

Energy blasts.

All landing.

Within seconds—

Vegeta lost consciousness midair.

Boom!

He crashed into the ground—

Reverting to base form.

"Pathetic. All talk, no substance."

Dabura laughed mockingly.

"…He's really that strong…"

Gohan was shocked.

"Dabura is strong, yes. But in the end…"

Goku shook his head.

"Vegeta underestimated him."

Then—

His eyes lit up.

This was his chance.

Boom!

Goku transformed.

Super Saiyan 2.

Lightning crackled around him.

"Goku, are you sure about this?!"

Shin said nervously.

"You and Vegeta are about the same level. If he lost, how can you win?!"

"Hehe, we won't know unless we try!"

Goku grinned.

"And besides…"

He glanced at Zeru.

"We still have him. He's way stronger than me!"

With that—

He charged forward.

Shin could only sigh bitterly.

Even though he knew Zeru was terrifying—

Dabura's reputation still weighed heavier in his mind.
