This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Strictly speaking, this is less of a flaw and more of an inherent limitation—Yuujin and Goku could theoretically use the Kaioken, but they dared not.

Just imagine: as Super Saiyans, their power levels already skyrocketed by 50 times. If they used Kaioken in this state, what would happen?

Even with a simple 2x Kaioken, Yuujin and Goku's power would multiply to 100 times their base form.

What does that resemble? That's already akin to Super Saiyan 2!

If it were 8x Kaioken, their power would soar to 400 times their base.

And what does that resemble? Super Saiyan 3!

The Super Saiyan transformation is a Saiyan racial ability. While it consumes significant energy, it doesn't place much physical strain on the body. However, Kaioken is a different story. As a technique that forcibly amplifies power, it naturally places a tremendous burden on the user's body.

Forget 2x or 8x Kaioken—after transforming into Super Saiyans, Yuujin and Goku didn't even dare to attempt the most basic 1x Kaioken.

Their bodies would literally explode!

Yuujin felt some regret about this. There was no doubt that Kaioken was an incredibly powerful technique, instrumental in his battle against Frieza. To abandon it now would be a real shame.

However, with rigorous training and consistent enhancement of their physical strength, perhaps he and Goku could one day use Kaioken again. But for the foreseeable future, it was off-limits—this powerful yet perilous technique was beyond their reach.

"Sirus"

At that moment, Vegeta walked over.

The princess didn't seem in the best of moods, especially when she caught sight of Yuujin and Goku's dazzling golden hair. Her fists clenched tightly.

It was no wonder. After a year of grueling training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Vegeta had believed herself close to catching up with the two. Yet, against all odds, they had once again broken their limits during their fight with Frieza, achieving the legendary transformation of Super Saiyans and leaving her far behind.

This was a joke, right?

She was the Saiyan princess! The true prodigy of their race!

To be overtaken by the likes of Selos and Kakarot, forced to chase their shadows—how could the proud Vegeta accept this?

"What's wrong, our dear princess?"

As several maids, led by Suno and Mei Zhen, changed Yuujin and Goku's clothes, Yuujin smiled at Vegeta.

"Teach... Teach me how to transform into a Super Saiyan!"

Vegeta gritted her teeth as if enduring immense humiliation. But in the end, she said it.

For someone as prideful as Vegeta, lowering herself to request help from another was an immense disgrace.

But compared to her pride, she could endure her weakness even less!

If Selos and Kakarot could become Super Saiyans, then so could she!

She would not lose to those two!

"You want to transform into a Super Saiyan too?"

"Yes!"

"But why should I help you?"

"You've always wanted to surpass me, even to kill me, haven't you? Honestly, I'm a little worried. If you ever do become a Super Saiyan, you might actually defeat or even kill me."

Yuujin studied Vegeta with an amused expression.

"You want me to be your incentive to keep pushing forward, don't you? If I can't threaten you, how can I spur you to keep improving?"

Vegeta's face darkened, and her voice dropped.

"I did think that way before—to make you my motivator. But now I don't."

"I've already become the legendary Super Saiyan, the invincible in the universe. I don't need to push myself anymore."

"So, why should I help you get stronger and threaten me?"

"You...!"

Yuujin nodded smugly, his expression infuriating. Vegeta was seething.

She knew this jerk was teasing her on purpose. If he really didn't want to grow stronger, why was he still sparring with Kakarot every day?

Her chest heaved. For a moment, Vegeta wanted to fight Yuujin right then and there. But she ultimately suppressed the impulse.

Given her current power, challenging him would be an act of self-destruction.

To defeat him and reclaim her dignity, she had to become stronger—a Super Saiyan!

"I'm willing to pay the price."

Closing her eyes, Vegeta said.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Yuujin's grin widened.

"Until I become a Super Saiyan and can defeat you and Kakarot, I'll obey your every command and submit to your control!"

Vegeta's voice trembled with humiliation as she laid out her terms. It was the only condition she could offer.

While Vegeta had previously been Yuujin's captive and grudgingly adhered to their agreements after losing to him, those were governed by her own pride. If she refused to comply, there was nothing he could do.

But this time was different. Sworn on her pride and honor, she would follow through. Even if Yuujin ordered her death, she would accept it.

Sensing Vegeta's resolve, Yuujin grinned.

"Deal!"

For a moment, Vegeta froze. Seeing Yuujin's triumphant smile, she felt as though she'd been tricked.

Leaning closer, Yuujin whispered:

"You guessed right. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have helped you become a Super Saiyan."

"After all, you're my favorite captive and chess piece. I want you to grow stronger and serve me even better."

"But don't forget our agreement. Until you can become a Super Saiyan and defeat me, you'll obey my every command. You'll be at my mercy."

"Don't worry—I'll make full use of everything you have. Your body, your soul, even that proud self-respect of yours..."

Yuujin's voice echoed in Vegeta's ears.

Enraged? Anyone would be.

Vegeta, naturally, was no exception.

She responded by punching Yuujin in the stomach with all her might.

Her blow, strong enough to destroy a mountain, landed on Yuujin but felt no different from a gentle tap, as he was in his Super Saiyan form.

"Sirus, mark my words!"

"One day, I'll defeat you. One day!"

Filled with humiliation, fury, and frustration, Vegeta's crystalline eyes gleamed with a myriad of emotions before she turned and shot into the sky.

"Did I go too far?"

The violet-haired maid girls stared in shock as Yuujin stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

Earlier, he thought he saw something shimmering in Vegeta's eyes. Could it be that the proud princess had been brought to tears?

"Well, that can't be... must've been my imagination."
