Cado watched Vegeta's actions with a calm expression.
"Hmph! You bastard! You're going to pay for your stupidity!"
Vegeta clenched his fists, laughing maniacally inside. His eyes locked onto the energy orb he had just thrown into the air.
Suddenly, his pupils vanished, replaced by a blood-red glow.
"HRRGHH! HAAAH!"
With a furious roar, Vegeta's body started expanding.
Thick fur sprouted across his skin, sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and his face twisted into something monstrous.
His body continued to grow at an alarming rate. Within seconds, he had transformed into a towering beast, standing like a mountain, covered in black fur.
"Hahaha! Do you see this?! This is my true power! Now DIE!"
Vegeta bared his massive fangs in a triumphant grin before slamming his enormous fist down at Cado.
Cado effortlessly dodged, his figure flickering away.
BOOM!
Vegeta's punch crashed into the ground, shaking the earth violently. A massive crater formed where the fist landed.
"Oh crap… he turned into a giant ape, just like Goku back then!"
Krillin's face paled in horror.
It wasn't just cowardice—he still remembered the time he nearly died when Goku transformed into one of those things. Seeing it happen again sent a familiar chill down his spine.
Tien, on the other hand, remained serious but not as panicked. Cado had shocked him so many times already that, for some reason, he just had faith that Cado could handle this.
"Phew…"
Piccolo exhaled slowly.
He had seen this transformation before, and the sheer pressure of it was still overwhelming.
His gaze unconsciously drifted toward Gohan.
What kind of race are Saiyans, really…?
"An 180,000 power level, huh? I have to admit, that's some serious pressure."
Cado sidestepped another attack, exhaling lightly.
"Heh, this is just the beginning!"
Vegeta smirked, his arrogance returning as he looked at the destruction he had caused.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Without hesitation, he threw four or five more punches.
Mountains shattered into pieces, and clouds of dust rose high into the sky.
Cado moved like a butterfly, effortlessly weaving through the barrage of attacks, completely untouched.
"You damn coward! Are you just gonna keep running?!"
Vegeta snarled in frustration.
No matter how powerful his attacks were, he just couldn't land a hit.
"And what, am I supposed to just stand here and take it? What kind of idiot only knows how to hit stationary targets? And you call yourself the Prince of Saiyans?"
Cado smirked.
He had a power level of 60,000, while Vegeta now had 180,000.
And Vegeta expected him to just stand still? What kind of moron did he take him for?
"You…! I'LL SHOW YOU!"
Vegeta roared, practically shaking with fury.
He reached down and uprooted an entire mountain, gripping it like a baseball bat.
Then, with all his strength, he swung it at Cado.
"This isn't gonna work."
Cado moved with ease, keeping just out of reach.
He widened the gap between them and then brought his hands together, gathering energy.
"HRRRAH!"
A powerful energy wave shot forward, striking Vegeta's massive chest.
But the attack barely did anything.
Vegeta stood there, unfazed. His thick fur had absorbed most of the impact.
"Impressive attack power, impressive defense… pretty well-rounded, I have to say."
Cado nodded approvingly.
"Hah! Was that supposed to be an attack?!"
Vegeta sneered.
Then, he opened his massive mouth and fired a devastating energy beam.
"The only downside… is that you're too damn slow."
Cado easily dodged.
No wonder Vegeta abandoned this form later on—while it was great for raw destruction, in a one-on-one fight, it just wasn't practical.
Frustrated, Vegeta fired blast after blast, but Cado avoided every single one.
Vegeta grew more furious, pounding his own chest in rage.
"This ends now, Vegeta. You're not my match."
Cado floated in front of him, his expression indifferent.
"SHUT UP! IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY THAT!"
Vegeta refused to accept it.
He had never been stronger than this. If Cado wasn't running around like a coward, there was no way he would lose!
"Alright, how about this—I'll give you a chance."
Cado smirked playfully, deciding to mess with him a little longer.
Just as expected, Vegeta's blood-red eyes burned even brighter.
"…What do you mean?"
"Simple. You think I'm just running away, right? Then let's do this—I'll let you hit me once. But in exchange, I get to hit you first. You can't dodge. Sound fair?"
Cado's grin was almost mischievous, his eyes curving into crescent moons.
Vegeta stared at him, suddenly getting a very bad feeling.
But he had no choice. If he kept wasting energy like this, he'd burn out.
And that last attack Cado landed? It did absolutely nothing to him.
There was no way Cado could actually hurt him.
"Fine! But neither of us can back out!"
Cado chuckled to himself.
Then, he slowly raised his hand above his head. A golden energy disk formed in his palm, spinning rapidly like a saw blade.
"Take this… Destructo Disc!"
With a flick of his wrist, Cado sent the energy disc flying toward Vegeta.
This technique was legendary in the early days—even Frieza nearly got cut by it.
Cado had spent a full twenty minutes practicing it before arriving on the battlefield, just to make sure he had it down.
Thanks to his enhanced Saiyan bloodline, his ability to grasp new techniques was far beyond normal.
That's why he had left early but arrived late—he had been mastering this move.
"Wh-What the hell is that…?"
Vegeta's eyes locked onto the spinning energy disc, filled with unease.
He had no idea what this move was, but the way it seemed to cut through space itself…
It radiated an aura of death.
If that thing hit him, he was dead.
As the Destructo Disc neared, Vegeta broke out in a cold sweat.
Screw the deal—he wasn't about to just stand there!
He gathered all his strength and leaped high into the air, desperately dodging.
