The Legend of the Strongest Saiyan

Chapter 118 Vegito, the Godslayer! (Part 1)

[Background events: After the Lychee Festival, Goku and Vegeta fought the Battle of Moro against Earth; in the Dragon Ball Super Heroes Saga, Gohan and Piccolo mastered new forms and defeated Cell Max; the Granora Survivor Saga; and Frieza Black Gold.]

With the arrival of peace and the gradual increase in the strength of Goku and Vegeta—one mastering the divine techniques of the angel race and the other mastering the techniques of the God of Destruction—Berrus, the God of Destruction, observed that their strength had reached an unprecedented level and issued an invitation to fight them. However, he wanted to fight either Gogeta or Vegito…

[Goku and Vegeta accepted Beerus's request. They also wanted to know Beerus's limits. Whis assured Beerus that he would use his time-reversal ability to revive Vegeta and Goku even if Beerus didn't control his power.]

Having received Whis's promise, Beerus unleashed his full power against his first opponent, Ultra Instinct Gogeta. Ultimately, due to the expiration of the fusion time, Beerus failed to control his power, resulting in the deaths of Goku and Vegeta. They were revived by Whis using time reversal. Still unsatisfied, Beerus demanded that Whis create a pair of angel-level Potara earrings, ensuring the fused individuals would never disintegrate as long as they didn't remove the earrings.

[In this battle, Vegito unleashed a transformation surpassing even the strongest God of Destruction—Double Extreme! He accidentally killed Beerus. Just as Vegito was about to order Whis to use his time-reversal ability again, Whis suddenly fell into a deep sleep. Then, the Grand Priest descended, setting the stage for the story of slaying a god.]

Heavy chains of God bound Vegito's hands, legs, and waist, binding his entire body.

Vegito doesn't know how long he's been imprisoned in the prison created by the Grand Priest. He only remembers the day he accidentally killed Beerus, Whis's sudden slumber, the Grand Priest's timely arrival, and the Omni-King's palace. He begs his good friend Omni-King to use the Super Dragon Balls to revive Lord Beerus, but Omni-King refuses and orders the Grand Priest to imprison him here permanently.

The long period of imprisonment left Vegeta with a scraggly beard and lifeless eyes, a far cry from his former imposing presence and confidence.

During the ten years he was trapped, at first he was just hungry, and Vegeta could endure it and think about where things went wrong and why the High Priest came as soon as Lord Beerus died. But even if he figured everything out, what could he do? The gods did not give him a chance to explain. No one set foot in this place for ten years, and he was like a non-existent person, enduring endless pain and torment alone.

Later, Vegeta gradually became numb, even the faces of his loved ones became somewhat blurry. He was bound by chains all day long, and feelings of loneliness, helplessness, grievance, and longing welled up in his heart. But all he could see was an empty space. Vegeta's eyes were glazed over, and his face was haggard as he lowered his head. "Drip, drip," he didn't know when, but tears began to fall from the corners of Vegeta's eyes.

One day, a light source appeared before Vegito's eyes. As the light grew stronger, it finally awakened Vegito from his dazed state. He raised his head and looked at the ever-growing halo. He couldn't believe whether it was real or an illusion. If it was real, was the person who came friend or foe?

The familiar footsteps grew closer, but Vegeta couldn't remember who this old friend was. The two stared at each other silently, and Vegeta seemed to recall something, and tears welled up in his eyes once again.

who are you?

Looking at Vegeta's aged face, Weiss hesitated to speak.

The next moment, Vegeta suddenly remembered and excitedly shouted his name, "Vis! You are Vis!"

Although he still couldn't tell whether Whis was friend or foe, Vegeta could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears streamed down his face.

Is it really you, Weiss? But why? Why are you only coming now… Do you know what I’ve been through? What were you doing while I was living a life worse than death? Where were you?!

Vegeta was extremely emotional, constantly recounting her loneliness and grievances.

Vis remained expressionless until Vegeta finished her rant, at which point Vis finally spoke.

I'm sorry, Vegeta, but I know very well how you've managed all these years.

Hearing Weiss's answer, Vegeta became even angrier. He pulled on the shackles with all his might like a mad dog, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but it did nothing.

He kept questioning Whis, asking why the gods wouldn't listen to his explanation, why he hadn't stood up to debate with them from beginning to end, and why Whis couldn't turn back time to save Beerus in front of the High Priest, or at the moment Beerus died.

Spit flew everywhere and landed on Vegeta's face, but Vegeta still didn't say anything. He quietly approached Vegeta and patted him on the shoulder.

Vegeta stopped talking; he knew Weiss had something to say to him.

Vegeta-san, things are not as you think. Over the years, I have explained to the High Priest time and time again, hoping to be forgiven for your sins, but to no avail. In other words, all of this was arranged by the High Priest.

Vegeta glared at Whis, "Then why didn't you do anything before Beerus died? You know Beerus better than anyone else."

Vegeta-san is not as simple as you think. Your duel with Lord Beerus was indeed unexpected. However, with the death of the God of Destruction, we angels will cease all our functions until the next God of Destruction appears. That is to say, I lost the ability to reverse time and turn the tide at that time. If angels break the rules, they will be like Merus at that time, who was mercilessly erased by time for violating the rules.

While Vegito was trapped, Whis knew that pleading with the Grand Priest was useless, so he thought of using the Super Dragon Balls to revive Beerus. Only Beerus's appearance could save everything. However, his angel powers were limited, so he had no way to find out the location of the Super Dragon Balls, let alone collect the seven Dragon Balls. So in the end, his plan failed.

After hearing all this, Vegeta burst into tears and roared again. Then, in a weak voice, he asked Whis one last time, "So I'm really powerless to be trapped here until I die of old age, right? Rather than being tortured like this day after day, I'd rather you just kill me quickly."

Your appearance gave me hope, and then despair. Since you can't solve anything, what is your purpose in coming here, Whis? Is it to make me inherit Beerus's God of Destruction? If so, I'd be happy to agree. Vegito laughed at this point.

Weiss continued, "I didn't expect you to still be so humorous after being trapped here for so many years. But that's impossible. Only by defeating the candidate for God of Destruction can one inherit the position of God of Destruction."

For example, even if Jiren from Universe 11 is very strong, he wouldn't have a chance if he wasn't a candidate for God of Destruction.

Vegeta had previously stated that he would not become a candidate for God of Destruction, thus disqualifying Vegito.

Weiss continued, "Actually, your earrings were modified when I gave them to you. They won't disintegrate unless you take them off."

Vegeta looked disappointed. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I miss my family on Earth, I miss the wonderful life on Earth. Thank you for telling me these things... But why do I feel like these words are all nonsense, meaningless, and do nothing to change the fact that I'm locked up here like a dog? So what do you want to do by telling me all this?"

Weiss's expression became even more serious. "Begidsan, I can understand your loneliness and grievances. I did say a lot of nonsense before, but now I'm going to get down to business. The purpose of my visit here is to help you regain your freedom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta was stunned. He was extremely excited and could not control his emotions, but at the same time he could not understand how Weiss could save him.

Whis smiled and turned away. The gods of today have become arrogant and haughty, and will never be as lovely and charming as Beerus again. They have destroyed some things that I thought were beautiful. Although my duties and powers will be restarted in the next God of Destruction, I am tired of being an angel. You are the most powerful mortal in this multiverse, and it is unfair to you to be trapped here. So I have decided that the last thing I will do before I disappear is to save you.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta was greatly surprised.

What? Disappeared? I don't understand, Weiss, what nonsense are you spouting!

This time, Weiss didn't respond. He turned around and extended his five fingers.

I'm sorry, Vegito-san, for making you suffer for so many years. It's time to say goodbye, my friend. The next moment, the God Chains that had imprisoned Vegito for ten years snapped. Ten years have passed, and the invincible Vegito has finally regained his freedom.

However, the prolonged binding had drained his body, and the moment he landed, he was unable to stand up. He could only kneel on the ground and catch his breath for a moment. Vegeta tried to regain his strength but vomited blood again.

"It seems your body is in terrible shape," Whis said with a smile as he walked towards Vegito. Vegito looked at Whis, and his body slowly disappeared. Vegito suddenly realized that Whis had violated the rules of the angels in order to save him, and he was about to be erased and disappear. Whis said nothing.

He simply smiled and quietly watched his mortal friend, who was also his prized disciple.

Vegeta screamed Whis's name, trying with all his might to grab Whis.

But it was all too late; Weiss's figure had vanished.
