Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!!
Massive explosions erupted in the sky as Dabura's body was instantly engulfed and consumed by the violent energy.
"D-Dabura!!!"
Even Babidi couldn't help but be utterly horrified, his mouth agape as he continuously retreated.
Dabura was the invincible King of the Demon Realm! Even back then, Babidi had only managed to control him by exploiting his evil thoughts. Yet now, he had been so easily eliminated.
That woman named Vegea... just what kind of monster was she?!
"Ahhh, looks like this mission is already over."
Stretching her waist, Sharulu looked completely bored.
She had originally hoped that this time, they would encounter some truly powerful opponents, but in the end, they were nothing but weaklings. They were wiped out in just a few moves, completely failing to satisfy her.
It seemed that becoming too strong was also a curse...
After dealing with Dabura, the visibly annoyed Vegea flew toward Babidi.
As long as she eliminated that ugly little creature, this boring farce would finally end.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Babara Baba!"
Seeing Vegea approaching, Babidi screamed in terror and hurriedly chanted a spell, surrounding himself with a spherical magic barrier.
"This is magic?"
Vegea examined Babidi's magical shield, but in the next moment, she sneered with disdain.
"What a pathetic trick!"
She waved her hand, and Babidi's protective barrier flickered chaotically before shattering into countless specks of light.
"Ahhh... ahhhhhh..."
"A-Are you going to kill me?!"
A chilling sensation crawled up Babidi's spine as he stared at Vegea in absolute fear.
"What do you think?"
Vegea smirked coldly, raising a hand toward Babidi.
Although marrying Yuujin and living on Earth for many years had softened her, Vegea was still ruthless toward enemies who dared to oppose them. To eliminate future threats, it was only natural to wipe Babidi out completely!
And Babidi had no doubt that with this woman's terrifying strength, she could destroy him with a single Ki blast.
Yet, in this life-or-death moment, Babidi surprisingly regained his composure.
"So, your name is Vegea, huh? Don't think that you've won just yet—I still have one final trick up my sleeve!"
Babidi glared at Vegea with hatred.
"A final trick?"
"Fine. I'll give you a chance to use it. But if you disappoint me, I'll kill you."
Vegea sneered and halted her attack.
She wanted to see what kind of last-ditch effort this pathetic creature could muster!
Seeing that his words had worked, Babidi secretly breathed a sigh of relief while laughing wickedly in his heart.
Foolish woman, you brought this upon yourself!
"Vegea, I can tell—you are a woman filled with darkness and evil intent."
"And not just you. Your two companions are the same."
"So what if you're right? We're all cold-blooded and ruthless. What does that matter?"
Vegea replied indifferently, unfazed by Babidi's words.
Vegea and Celipa were both ruthless Saiyans. While living on Earth had softened them somewhat, their core nature hadn't changed.
As for Sharuru, she was nothing more than a weapon created for destruction and slaughter. Her nature was exceptionally brutal, and if not for her loyalty to Yuujin, she would have committed unspeakable atrocities.
These were undeniable facts. There was no point in pretending otherwise.
"Hehehe..."
"You don't realize it, do you? My magic allows me to control those who harbor evil within their hearts. Dabura, Yakon, and Pui Pui all became my slaves this way."
"And you three are immensely powerful, yet all of you possess darkness within. So—"
"You shall become my slaves as well!"
Babidi abruptly stretched out his hands and unleashed his magic. Countless orbs of light shot toward Vegea, sinking into her mind.
"W-What is this?!"
Alarmed, Vegea instinctively distanced herself and created an energy barrier for defense.
But it was futile. The lights passed through the barrier and burrowed into her mind.
A sinister and malevolent force began invading her consciousness, causing Vegea to scream in pain.
"Hahahaha! It's useless! It's all useless!"
"As long as darkness lingers in your heart, you cannot resist my magic! Just accept it—become my slave!"
Babidi cackled as he saw Vegea struggling.
Although losing Dabura, Yakon, and Pui Pui pained him, if he could control Vegea, Sharulu, and Seriba, he wouldn't just recover his losses—he'd gain far more!
With their power under his command, who in the universe could stand against him?!
The thought filled Babidi with excitement.
"This is bad! Babidi is trying to control Vegea!"
"Celipa, Sharuru, stop him!"
Inside Frieza's ship, Launch was watching the battle unfold. Horrified, she grabbed a communicator and shouted at Seriba and Sharulu.
Realizing the dire situation, Celipa and Sharuru exploded with energy and shot toward Babidi, intent on killing him to save Vegea.
"It'll be your turn soon—don't interfere!"
Babidi spat viciously, then chanted another spell. In an instant, Celipa and Sharuru vanished.
Meanwhile, the control over Vegea neared completion. Babidi, filled with glee, poured even more energy into the spell.
"Damn it!" "We can't let him succeed! Fire all weapons!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Launch slammed her fist onto the armrest and roared.
She knew all too well how terrifying Vegea's strength was. If Babidi succeeded in controlling her, they would be facing an absolute nightmare. She couldn't let that happen!
The battleships raised their cannons, locking onto Babidi and Vegea. A barrage of energy blasts rained down.
Vegea wouldn't be killed so easily—but their goal wasn't her.
They had to kill Babidi before the worst-case scenario unfolded!
