Chapter 293: The Saiyan Prince's Unwillingness!
"What's wrong? Feeling very dissatisfied?" Karl glanced at Vegeta, noting his grim expression. Without much thought, Karl could easily guess what was going through Vegeta's mind at the moment.
After all, he was the Saiyan prince.
Not only had he suffered blows to his pride here, but now even the combat strength of the androids surpassed theirs. This was a massive hit to his ego!
"Heh~"
"Don't overestimate yourself. Even though we're all Saiyans, your strength is still inferior to that of the android warriors."
"If you don't believe me, why don't we have a match?" Karl said with a smirk as he looked at Vegeta.
Vegeta gritted his teeth and replied, "Fine!"
Without paying attention to the others' reactions, Vegeta immediately flew down to the ground of the Lookout. Karl followed closely behind.
The android warriors were already in the midst of battle. Sensing someone approaching, they immediately grew alert, but upon seeing Karl and the others, they quickly relaxed.
"Lord Karl!"
"Lord Greta!"
Karl waved his hand and said, "Have Android 64 come see me."
As soon as Karl finished speaking, a small robot buzzed to life. From the depths of the battlefield, a muscular figure emerged. His body, rippling with muscles, exuded a terrifying sense of power that made everyone feel the oppressive force emanating from him.
This was Android 64!
A brand-new android warrior modified and enhanced by Dr. Bellabe.
Android 64 approached Karl and said, "Lord Karl, what are your orders?"
"Fight him with all your might. Just don't kill him," Karl said, pointing at Vegeta.
"Understood."
Android 64 stepped back slightly, his stance revealing no openings and no detectable aura.
This was the advantage of the androids.
Vegeta roared, his entire body enveloped in white light. His veins bulged, and his expression was filled with fury.
From the moment he arrived on Earth until now, his pride had been trampled repeatedly. Time and time again, his dignity as the Saiyan prince had been utterly crushed, leaving him furious and unwilling to accept it!
In almost an instant...
His energy surged!
"Oh~ His energy has increased. As expected of the Saiyan prince!"
Whoosh!
Vegeta took the initiative, unleashing the fury accumulated in his chest in an explosive burst of speed that surpassed his previous limits.
In a flash, he appeared behind Android 64. Just as he was about to kick the android, 64 seemed to predict his move and used a short-distance displacement to evade the attack.
Then, with a powerful counter, he sent Vegeta flying with a kick.
Android 64's eyes glowed brilliantly, the beams piercing through Vegeta's arms. Despite the pain, Vegeta retaliated with a punch, aiming directly at 64's torso. The collision triggered a terrifying explosion.
Everyone watched the intense battle with bated breath. Even though the fight had just begun, the ferocity was already astonishing. Vegeta's group of Saiyans felt a deep sense of frustration.
Although they knew their strength was lacking compared to this group of Saiyans, they couldn't accept the fact that android warriors could match them, the so-called warrior race.
Their pride wouldn't allow them to lose.
Though they couldn't defeat the androids themselves, they pinned all their hopes on Vegeta.
However...
The previously injured Android 64 stood up slowly, his body regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What?"
"He can recover from such injuries so quickly? What kind of ability is this?"
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, unable to believe their eyes.
Was this still an android?
And what kind of ability was this?
Greta, however, seemed accustomed to it and calmly explained, "This is an ability developed based on the Namekians' regenerative powers. As long as they don't suffer fatal injuries, they can use the energy within their bodies to recover quickly."
"Of course, this isn't absolute. If they take an overwhelmingly powerful blow that exceeds their energy reserves, they won't be able to regenerate as quickly."
"But that only applies in cases of significant power disparity. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible to achieve."
Greta's tone was composed, though he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he spoke. When they first faced these powerful android warriors, even they had suffered greatly.
These beings were practically indestructible!
But through relentless effort, they managed to overcome them, gaining tremendous strength in the process. Developing an android warrior with comparable combat power wasn't as easy as it seemed, so achieving their current level was a remarkable feat.
Still...
The androids were far stronger than Vegeta.
Hearing Greta's explanation, the others were left dumbfounded.
How could they possibly fight against this?
Not only were the androids incredibly powerful, but they also had astonishing regenerative abilities. It was a nightmare to face such opponents.
Looking at the battle, it was clear that Vegeta couldn't unleash his full strength, let alone finish the fight quickly.
Wouldn't this drag on until he was completely drained?
The Saiyans watching became increasingly worried.
Nappa and Raditz exchanged glances, their concern evident in their eyes.
These androids were simply too strong!
They had initially thought only this group of Saiyans was formidable. They hadn't expected the androids to be just as powerful. How could they not feel like failures?
Even Nappa and Raditz began to doubt themselves at this moment.
In the arena, Vegeta stared at Android 64, who stood before him unscathed. His expression darkened. He had witnessed the android's rapid regeneration earlier.
A being with such regenerative capabilities was terrifying anywhere in the universe. And yet, here was an android with such an ability.
What kind of joke was this?
Could he even defeat such a being?
"Damn it!!"
"If I don't possess overwhelming power to destroy him instantly, I'll only be dragged down and left exhausted."
"How am I supposed to win?"
Despair filled Vegeta's heart, but as the Saiyan prince, he would never admit defeat.
Never!
He gathered white energy in his hands, bringing them together to form a powerful energy blast.
Just as he was about to unleash it...
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his hands and lifting them toward the sky.
The energy blast veered off course entirely!
