Fusion had always been an option, but it hadn't been used much. If they wanted to help Goten today, Goku and Vegeta could only use Fusion and become a combined warrior.
As soon as he heard the word Fusion, Vegeta's expression changed immediately. The fusion technique of the Metamorans that he had seen in the otherworld came to mind, and he instantly got goosebumps. Although the Metamorans' fusion technique was really strong, the fusion stance was too embarrassing. And fusing with Goku was something he would never accept!
"Stop talking nonsense here, Kakarot. Even if I die here today, it is absolutely impossible to fuse with you, so I advise you to give up this stupid idea as soon as possible," Vegeta immediately yelled at Goku.
First of all, he couldn't do such a shameful stance at all. Secondly, even if he really wanted to fuse with someone else, it would definitely not be Goku!
"Vegeta, we can be regarded as resurrected from the dead. Even if we die again, there is no problem. But do you really want to watch Bulma and Trunks die?" Goku looked at Vegeta and said seriously.
With their current Super Saiyan Blue strength, they couldn't help Goten at all. The only way they could help now was to use the fusion technique of the Metamorans and merge into a super warrior. Then they would definitely be able to beat Toppo! Even if they were eliminated afterward, it would be a favor for Goten.
"Don't be naive, Kakarot. No matter what you say, I will never agree. It's absolutely impossible for me to do that kind of humiliating action!" Vegeta sternly yelled at Goku, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Vegeta, do you really want to see our seventh universe destroyed? Don't you care about losing to these guys? Little Trunks has already died once, and future Trunks was killed once in front of you. Do you really have the heart to watch Bulma be callously erased as well? You saw the fate of the ninth and tenth universes just now," Goku continued seriously.
He really wanted to help his son Goten. Since Goten was born, Goku hadn't been there for him when he needed him the most. He didn't even offer any help!
This time should be the only chance to help him, and Goku didn't want to miss this opportunity. Otherwise, if he died again, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Seeing Goku's serious expression, Vegeta's firm attitude began to waver. Indeed, he had watched his two sons die once before! Did he want to watch them die in front of him again this time?
"But... Damn it!!" Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely conflicted. Was this the only way? Did he really have to use the most humiliating method to win this game? But as Goku said, they seemed to have no other options.
With their current Super Saiyan Blue strength, they couldn't help at all. Moreover, in their current physical state, any participant could easily eliminate them. As a proud prince of the Saiyan race, being eliminated like this was something Vegeta was unwilling to accept.
"Vegeta, hurry up and decide! I can feel the Sixth Universe guys taking us out in a flash," Goku urged from the side. Maybe those guys in the back were no threat.
After all, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse! Even if their physical fitness had been seriously affected, it shouldn't be a big problem to handle them. But Hit from the sixth universe standing at the front was incredibly powerful.
They could clearly feel this. Before, when Whis and Beerus had mentioned Hit, they had clearly told them to be careful in this tournament of power.
"Stop talking nonsense, Kakarot. If you say another word, I won't fuse with you," Vegeta said through gritted teeth. Making this decision was very uncomfortable for him. But now, apart from Fusion, they had no other way.
"Are you saying yes, Vegeta? Great, let's do Fusion now!" Goku said, instantly surprised. It seemed that Vegeta had agreed to perform Fusion with him. To be honest, Goku was looking forward to seeing the strength they would reach after Fusion. Based on what he had seen of the Metamorans in the Otherworld, the strength would definitely not be too weak!
At that moment, on the other side of the arena, Hit had already brought Cabba and the two Namekians over step by step.
"Mr. Hit, do we really need to eliminate these two participants from the seventh universe first?" Cabba asked, looking at Goku and Vegeta, who were already bruised and exhausted. "It seems they don't have much physical strength left. Wouldn't this be dishonorable?"
"Champa-sama has ordered us to get rid of the seventh universe first," Hit replied. "These two are strong. If they recover their peak strength, it will be very difficult for us to deal with them. Don't have naive illusions in a place like this. Only by defeating everyone can we survive, and I don't care about the method."
Although it wasn't his style to eliminate injured opponents, it was necessary for the sixth universe's survival. Hit, who had lived for 1000 years, did not want to die so helplessly.
"Hit is right. Now is not the time for hesitation," the Namekian Pilina added. Keeping everyone alive was the most important thing.
"Alright," Cabba nodded quickly. Their purpose in participating in this competition was to prevent their entire universe from being wiped out. Sometimes, it is justifiable to go against one's will to fight for survival.
"We must stop them as soon as possible. Those two seem ready to fuse together," Saonel, another Namekian, pointed out. They didn't know how powerful Goku and Vegeta would become after fusing, but it would definitely be more difficult to deal with them. Therefore, they needed to stop the fusion.
"We cannot allow that..." Hit said coldly before his body flashed forward. Although he didn't use his Time Skip skill, his speed was still astonishingly fast—far beyond what the injured Goku and Vegeta could dodge. Hit was confident his blow would be enough to deal with them.
Whizzing!!
Just as Hit was ten meters away from Goku and Vegeta, a few cracking sounds suddenly echoed. Immediately, Krillin and Piccolo appeared in front of them. Krillin frowned as he faced Hit, then punched out with all his might.
"What?" Hit's expression changed drastically. Krillin's lightning speed and terrifying power shocked him. The last time they met, Krillin wasn't this strong. Hit could have killed him with one finger. But now, after so many days, Krillin had undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only had his appearance changed, but his strength had also greatly improved.
Shocked, Hit instantly used his Time Skip skill. His intuition told him that if Krillin's punch landed on his chest, he might lose his ability to fight or even suffer more serious injuries. He didn't know why Krillin had become so strong.
Boom! Click!
Hit managed to use his Time Skip skill in time, but Krillin's punch still hit his left arm heavily. The sound of crashing and bones cracking rang out almost simultaneously.
Hit was sent flying by Krillin's powerful force, smashing rocks and falling heavily to the ground. His arm was completely fractured and deformed, with purple blood oozing from his mouth.
Krillin's strength at this time completely surpassed that of Super Saiyan Blue Goku and the others. It was just slightly weaker than Trunks of Super Saiyan IV. The power of Krillin's punch was unimaginable, especially since it hit when Hit was unprepared.
"Krillin?" Goku and the others were instantly dumbfounded. Hit was so fast that they barely saw what happened, but Krillin's punch had sent Hit flying and broke his arm. This power had clearly surpassed Goku and Vegeta at their peak.
"Are you kidding me? How did Krillin become so powerful?" Vegeta was in shock. Since his resurrection, he hadn't seen Krillin's power. Although Krillin's appearance had changed greatly, Vegeta never took him seriously because Krillin was just an ordinary human.
The bloodline of ordinary earthlings limited their strength growth. But now, Krillin's strength had completely surpassed them.
"Wow! Haha! You are amazing, Krillin," Goku said, pleasantly surprised. "The strength and speed just now were incredible!"
Even Piccolo and Young Trunks were shocked. Krillin, whom they never paid attention to, had become so powerful! Young Trunks was envious and admired him.
"Hey-hey! Hurry up and do the Fusion, you two!" Krillin said, scratching his bald head in embarrassment. "Hit is very strong. I was lucky to hit him when he was unprepared. If he fights seriously later, I might not be his opponent."
"Good!" Goku nodded quickly.
In the seventh universe's auditorium, Beerus was incomparably shocked and delighted. "Is this really Krillin? His power is so strong that he punched Hit. This is amazing!"
Whis smiled and added, "Krillin has indeed become very powerful. It seems our seventh universe participants have really shocked us."
In contrast, Champa's expression was extremely ugly. He had planned to eliminate Goku and Vegeta while they were weak, but Krillin's unexpected strength had thrown a wrench in his plans. With Hit injured, the sixth universe was in danger.
"Hmph! Did you shoot yourself in the foot this time?" Beerus taunted Champa coldly.
"Mr. Hit!" Cabba and Pilina reacted quickly, looking at Hit and the others.
"Damn it! Are the contestants of the seventh universe so powerful?" Saonel said seriously. "Hit was directly hit with one punch. Even if the three of us fight together, it's impossible to beat Krillin."
"Pilina, go help Mr. Hit. Saonel and I will contain them," Cabba instructed, knowing they couldn't hold out for long. He hoped Hit could recover quickly and rejoin the battle.
"Good," Pilina nodded. The Namekian warriors had the ability to heal. Since they couldn't help in the battle now, the best they could do was help Hit recover because his presence in the ring was crucial for the sixth universe's survival.
With a roar, Cabba transformed into Super Saiyan II, a form he had mastered after more than a month of training under Vados.
No matter how much Krillin gets boosted, he will remain a side character.
