Spatial power!
The old man's exploding body had formed a passage through space itself.
The black hole-like vortex grew larger and larger, connecting to another dimension. Deep purple energy drifted through the darkness, with cracks like shattered mirrors spreading around it!
A shocking aura emanated from the other side—so powerful that even Raditz felt terror!
"That useless old fool was truly pathetic."
A deep voice resonated as red eyes first passed through the vortex, radiating intimidating killing intent. Immediately after, a towering three-meter frame emerged from the spatial cavity and appeared before everyone.
The moment he set foot on the planet, the world itself seemed to tremble!
He wore a red, form-fitting battle suit with loose pants, white gloves on his hands, white combat boots, and a cape flowing behind him. Aside from his scarlet eyes and two short horns protruding from his bald head, his face appeared no different from an ordinary person's. But the tremendous energy contained within his body was like an ocean held within a mountain!
Following behind him, demon fighters of various shapes crossed over and formed neat ranks. Finally, the spatial rift quietly sealed itself, cutting off the passage between dimensions.
Unlike the remaining demons on the planet, these beings possessed extremely powerful auras—not on the same level as ordinary fighters. Some had sharp fangs and claws, others were covered in blood, and all possessed fierce eyes and terrifying presence.
"Raditz, what's happening here? Explain," Vegeta demanded.
"I don't know who this guy is! Could he be..." Raditz frowned. "The overlord of the West Galaxy?"
"Correct. I am the overlord Vidir!" The massive voice resonated like a thousand bells ringing in unison, vibrating through their eardrums endlessly.
The overlord of the West Galaxy? So this was him? Vegeta's heart raced as he clenched his fists tightly.
The other Saiyans were drawn by the sudden overwhelming aura, all turning to look. Tumat, hiding in Tarble's arms, trembled even more violently.
"This foolish man was willing to harness the Demon Realm's power. He could have accomplished much for me, but unfortunately, he proved useless in the end! What a waste of all those demon fighters I lent him." Vidir gazed at the puddle of blood that was all that remained on the ground, expressing regret.
What he regretted were the fighters he'd lost and the wasted energy. He didn't care about the old man's death at all.
This space-time portal was the "time bomb" he had planted. Once the moment was right, he would have killed the old man eventually anyway. The revival of their people had been nothing but a joke—mutual exploitation.
He had not only summoned the Demon Star but also summoned demons themselves. With demonic power amplifying the destruction, the damage far exceeded what he alone could accomplish. Unfortunately, the old man would never have a chance to repent.
"And you—spoiling my plans. You must die as well!"
Suddenly, Vidir roared violently. A sandstorm whipped across the ground, the air trembled, and mountains cracked as the earth split. Surging energy beneath the surface prepared to burst forth at any moment.
Vegeta and Raditz exchanged glances and quickly shouted to Tarble and the others:
"Get out of here!"
Before they could finish speaking, a red beam of light erupted from the ground, shooting skyward before spreading outward. More and more beams appeared in expanding circles, centered on Vidir and spreading across the entire planet!
Earth Flame Explosion Shockwave! One of Vidir's signature techniques.
"Damn it!" "Here it comes!"
Tarble immediately led his team to safety, dodging left and right as they avoided the ascending beams of light. In their panic, Pepara and Zucara weren't much better off, hurrying through the gaps while terrified of being struck.
With such devastating power, one hit meant death!
Vidir's subordinates laughed with excitement.
"To deal with such trash, there's no need for our king to act personally. Look at how they scramble—hahaha, it's too amusing!" A demon warrior with blue skin and pustules cackled.
"With our king's strength, he could kill them instantly!"
"Huh? What's wrong? Why has the king's expression become serious?" Finally, someone noticed the change in Vidir's demeanor.
From the beginning, Vidir hadn't relaxed in the slightest. He had crossed over personally not for a mere planet or for the lives of the old man and Zangya. He feared that Raditz would destroy the Demon Star after learning its location.
Furthermore, he knew Raditz was powerful—by no means an ordinary opponent.
Indeed, under the violent bombardment of the Earth Flame Explosion, Raditz and Vegeta evaded easily, moving as gracefully as if strolling through a garden, maintaining terrifying composure. Vidir didn't dare underestimate them. The Demon Realm was filled with life-and-death crises where a moment's carelessness meant death. He had learned long ago never to take any opponent lightly.
"You two are quite powerful!" Vidir nodded slightly and extended his hand. "Join the demon clan—the Demon Realm will grant you even greater power!"
Another recruitment pitch? Frieza had overplayed this tactic long ago. Just as Raditz prepared to refuse, a cold voice cut through the air.
"How boring!"
Vegeta snorted coldly, pale golden flames igniting around him as he instantly flew toward Vidir. The purpose of his journey was to defeat galactic overlords and prove his strength. With his target right before him, he couldn't wait another moment.
His aura flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he struck Vidir's chest with his fist. The tremendous force poured out, and the body of a demon warrior behind Vidir exploded from the energy that passed through!
Vidir's eyes bulged sharply. He clearly hadn't expected Vegeta's attack to be so fast and powerful, his face contorting with rage.
But Vegeta didn't care. He raised his knee with a "whoosh" and kicked again, sending Vidir crashing to the ground.
"Damn you!" Vidir quickly scrambled to his feet and roared, only to find Vegeta had vanished from sight. A chill ran down his spine as he looked back to see a massive shockwave heading straight for him!
In crisis, Vidir instinctively crossed his arms before his body, ducking his head to resist the mighty impact.
In an instant, brilliant light enveloped the entire planet with murderous intent, and the berserk energy surged in all directions, sweeping across thousands of miles! The beam of light engulfed Vidir, scraped the surface, and blasted into outer space, carving through mountains, rivers, and land along its path.
"King Vidir!" The demon fighters exclaimed, dumbfounded.
It was the first time their king had been so brutally beaten and swallowed by a shockwave! The demon fighters no longer dared underestimate these opponents, their throats dry and expressions changing dramatically.
But Raditz's nerves remained tense. "Vegeta, his energy hasn't weakened in the slightest! Be careful!"
"You're the one who should be careful."
Vidir appeared behind Raditz mysteriously, moving so fast that even Raditz couldn't detect him! "BOOM!" Vidir swept Raditz with a punch, blasting him into the mountainside and shattering the low peak.
He was completely unharmed—Vegeta's shockwave hadn't hurt him at all!
