{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Princess Peach's Castle
Mario'a gloved hands gripped the edge of the couch as his wide blue eyes stared at the screen, his mouth slightly agape beneath his mustache.
"Mamma mia..." He breathed out, barely able to comprehend what he'd just seen, "He-a powered up so hard, he broke reality?! That's-a crazy!"
Luigi looked visibly shaken as he fiddled nervously with the brim of his green cap, his voice trembling as he spoke, "A-and they said the Room of Spirit and Time was like its own dimension! You think that'd happen if Goku did it?!"
Princess Peach's hands clasped over her mouth in stunned silence before she finally looked between the brothers and said, "Wait, hold on. You're telling me that Goku and that other guy, Beerus, nearly tore apart an entire universe just by fighting each other?" She shook her head slowly as she continued, "That's terrifying. No wonder people fear the Saiyans."
Toad was aleady half-submerged behind a nearby flower pot and poked his head out just enough to let his high-pitched voice squeak through, "Forget Bowser! I'm more scared of a guy who can accidentally blow up the universe because he's having a rough sparring session!"
A sudden, gentle glow filled the room as Rosalina appeared, descending gracefully with several Lumas trailing behind her like tiny stars. Her usually serene face was shadowed with unease, "If the shockwaves of their battle traveled across a universe thirteen times larger than our own in mere seconds, the consequences would be catastrophic."
One of the Lumas floated close to her shoulder and gave a worried chirp, its glowing form trembling slightly.
Daisy, let out a low whistle as she leaned against the armrest, "Okay, okay... I'll admit it. Accidentally destroying a universe in a fistfight? That's... kind of awesome. Stupid, but awesome."
Peach glanced at her with a sideways glare, then looked back at the screen, her expression halfway between awe and dread, "Remind me to never invite those two to the next Mario Party... unless we want the planet to explode."
Mario finally pulled his cap off and let out a long, exasperated sigh as he slumped back against the cushions, the screen still flickering with the afterimages of the godlike brawl, "Well... guess we're lucky they live in a different universe."
He set his cap back on and gave a small smile, "Let's-a keep it that way."
{Simon the Digger Universe}
Team Dai-Gurren's mobile base
Simon leaned forward in his seat, eyes shining with a mixture of disbelief and wonder, "Wait… he destroyed an entire dimension just by powering up? And Goku, he nearly wiped out a whole universe the first time he used his god form?" His hands clenched into fists as he yelled, "That's… that's awesome!"
Yoko gave a slow, impressed whistle as she processed the sheer absurdity of what they'd just seen, "They're practically gods, and they earned that strength through sheer force of will… That's actually kinda cool."
Across from her, Viral's teeth clenched as his golden eyes gleamed with a fire that rivaled his usual defiance, "They've shattered their limits so many times, that the very concept of 'limits' means nothing to them anymore," he growled, "It's... infuriating. But also... inspiring."
Leeron lounged nearby with his tablet in one hand and a pencil twirling between fingers, let out a delighted giggle as he scribbled rapidly, the screen showing rough blueprints forming with impossible speed, "Ooooh~ now that's a ki output worth studying! The raw energy readings alone are enough to short-circuit half the planet! Maybe if we fused Spiral energy with a god-tier ki dampener… hmm, no, no… even Tengen Toppa might struggle to survive a power spike like that! We'd need a transdimensional regulator just to avoid tearing the space-time fabric apart~!"
Boota squealed in surprise, tail sticking straight up as the footage on-screen showed another explosion. He leapt into Simon's arms with a frightened chirp, trembling like a leaf. Simon caught him instinctively, holding him close as his eyes remained fixed on the display.
Kittan leaned back against a nearby wall, arms behind his head as he let out a long whistle, "Dang this is just getting better and better, I just hope that the next fighters are going to be even cooler than these two!"
From the side of the room, Nia stood quietly, her serene gaze fixed on the impossible feats unfolding before them, "To possess such will… to continue growing beyond mortality with every battle, every moment of struggle... it's terrifying, yes," She admitted, "But also beautiful. A testament to what existence can become when hope never dies."
Simon glanced around at them all. His grip on Boota tightened slightly, and he looked down for a moment, before a small smile began to form, "…I don't know if we're stronger than them. But we'll keep fighting. Because if they can reach that level, then so can we. That's the spirit of Team Dai-Gurren."
He stood tall as he addressed them all, his voice rising with unwavering conviction, "We pierce the heavens. We break through impossibility. And no matter how strong they are, we'll rise to surpass them. Because we never stop moving forward!"
Boota let out a victorious squeak.
And around him, the rest of Team Dai-Gurren smiled, the fire of evolution rekindled in their hearts.
{Dragon Ball Super Universes}
Capsule Corp
Vegeta's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the screen, he never even imagined that he would be to use Hakai but then he grinned madly as he looked at his new transformation, "So... Ultra Ego huh? Well then, Kakarot, looks like I will surpass you once again!"
Goku looked excited and grinning as he exclaimed, "Woah, Vegeta! You really got strong! And you learned to use Hakai too?! That sounds awesome!"
Beerus looked shocked as he looked at Vegeta and the one at the screen, "There's no way that imbecile could ever use Hakai, not unless I trained him."
Whis smiled as he looked at Beerus's expression, "Well, it looks like you have an apprentice in the future Lord Beerus."
Trunks, mouth slightly open in awe, "Whoa… Dad, that's you?! That looks way cooler than Super Saiyan Blue! And scary."
Goten whispered to Trunks, "Your dad does look scary, Trunks."
Krillin's eyes widened in shock and fear, "Did Beerus really erase someone with that? As in... gone gone? No afterlife, no halo, no nothing? Remind me never to get on his bad side."
Even Piccolo lost his composure as he stared at Vegeta's new transformation, "I don't know whether or not to feel relieved or scared that Vegeta has acquired such power."
Goku chuckled as he said,"He really likes doing things the hard way."
Vegeta glares sideways at Goku, "And yet, I'm still climbing. Once this is over and I've defeated Thor, I'll train with Lord Beerus and I will surpass you! Even your Ultra Instinct will be nothing compared to the destruction that I will soon possess!"
{Marvel 616 Universe}
Avengers Tower
"By Odin's beard…" Thor whispered, his eyes widened with a rare glint of awe as he watched Vegeta in purple aura stood defiantly in his Ultra Ego form, his eyes burning with battle-lust, "To erase a being from time itself, it's inconceivable."
"Right, because when I make high-tech weapons, I'm a war criminal and when he uses literal destruction energy he's called a warrior?" Tony rolled his eyes before he whistled lowly, "Still, gotta admit… that's some next-level god energy. Purple lightning looks great on him, too."
Steve stood with arms crossed, his face etched with concern as he watched Vegeta's new transformation, "He's not fighting for justice. That look… that's someone fighting for his pride, and for someone to have power like that. It's dangerous."
Natasha tilted her head as she looked at Ultra Ego Vegeta on the screen, "He looks like he enjoys the fight a little too much. He probably has a lot of ego, pride… maybe even bloodlust achieving that state."
Clint watched from the couch while holding some popcorn as he exclaimed, "Wait, wait. He powers up by getting hurt on purpose? Who does that?"
Thor stepped forward with a grin and said, "And yet, he still fights with honor. A warrior like that… I would welcome on any battlefield."
"Sure, if the battlefield isn't Earth. Because I really don't want to have to rebuild another city." Tony said sarcastically with a wave of his hands.
["If Vegeta's head wasn't big enough before, his widow's peak probably has its own zip code by now." Boomstick chuckled.]
["As the offensive counterpart to Goku's Ultra Instinct, Ultra Ego Vegeta is a veritable juggernaut, able to absorb any hits that come his way and return them even stronger." Wiz explained Ultra Ego's abilities.]
["It's wild this guy has a Napoleon complex. He's one of the biggest badasses ever to exist." Boomstick exclaimed.]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Universe 6
Cabba's jaw hung slightly ajar as his eyes remained locked on the screen. His voice trembled with disbelief and admiration, "Ultra Ego… that's Vegeta Sensei's version of Ultra Instinct? Except it feeds off damage?"
He rubbed the back of his neck, still trying to process what he was seeing, "I… I didn't even think this was possible. He's gone way beyond anything that I ever imagined."
Caulifla's eyes widened with awe as she exclaimed, "Whoa! That's insane! He wants to take hits?!" She grins as her Saiyan blood pumped just from watching it, "I gotta try that. Just… tank some punches and hit back harder? That's so awesome!"
Kale peeked from behind Caulifla, her eyes widened with concern but also curiosity, "B-But… doesn't that hurt? Like, a lot? He looks like he's enjoying it though… like the more damage he takes, the more power he can release."
Caulifla looked back at her with a crooked smile, "That's the thrill of the fight, Kale! It's not just power, it's guts, pride, the drive to win even when you're beaten down! He's a Saiyan to the core! No wonder Vegeta's so obsessed with getting stronger… it makes sense now."
Suddenly, a deep scoffing snort echoed from the back as Champa, who'd been silent just looked at the screen with a bitter look on his face, "Hmph. Great. Another Universe 7 Saiyan getting the spotlight. You'd think they were the only Saiyans in the multiverse! Seriously, how long are we supposed to sit here watching their warriors hog the glory?"
Cabba quickly waved his hands defensively, "W-Wait, Lord Champa! Vegeta's not just any Saiyan, he's my mentor! I mean, without him, I wouldn't be half as strong as I am now. He pushed me to become a real Saiyan. Everything I've become… it's all thanks to him."
Champa, groaning as he slouches back into his throne, "Yeah, yeah. Just once, I'd like a Universe 6 fighter to get that kind of spotlight…"
Caulifla elbowed Cabba with a cocky grin and said, "Then let us reach that level. I mean, if he can achieve that level with just stubbornness and pride, imagine what we could do with that kind of power on our hands!"
"I'd like to try too… I'd like to see how far we can go. For real this time?" Kale said softly but with growing determination on her face.
Cabba gave a firm nod, "Yeah, We'll train extra hard to keep up, and then, we won't just match Vegeta and Goku, we'll surpass them!"
Champa gave a heavy, exaggerated sigh, as he waved his hand lazily. "Fine, fine. Just don't get yourselves killed trying to impress me…"
Frieza's Airship
The air aboard the ship was thick with dread. Not a single soldier dared to speak, breathe too loudly, or even move as the footage played out. All eyes flicked nervously between the screen and their emperor, whose tail twitched with restrained fury.
Frieza's crimson eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at Vegeta in his Ultra Ego form. His expression flickered between annoyance, irritation, pure, simmering hatred.
"So... Vegeta has achieved a new level of power huh..." Frieza muttered, his voice as smooth as silk yet dripping with venom, "How infuriating."
There was a sudden crack! as his claw dug into the armrest of his throne-like seat, snapping the alloy with ease. The sound made the nearest soldier flinch violently, nearly dropping his scouter.
"Those wretched monkeys… they have done it again and again, surpassing their limits, reaching new heights, the Saiyans would always like to find new ways to achieve strong enough to compete with the Gods of Destruction. It's a miracle I haven't exterminated their kind permanently."
Then, slowly, a wicked grin curled on his lips as he continued, "…But perhaps the failure is mine. I've relied on Golden Frieza for too long. I thought perfection had been attained, yet now? Now even that might not be enough."
He turned his back to the screen, his reflection still glowing in its light as he walked slowly toward the viewing deck, "Maybe it's time I push beyond even the limits I once scoffed at. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber… an accursed place, but a valuable tool nonetheless."
He turned back towards the screen and muttered, "But... perhaps we shall see whether or not Vegeta could actually defeat Thor first."
["And then there's what I consider to be Vegeta's greatest feat of all..." Wiz mentioned.]
["And what's that Wiz?" Boomstick asked his coworker.]
["He has learned to accept humility." Wiz revealed as the screen shows a video about Goku and Kid Buu fighting while Vegeta was thinking to himself.]
Everyone was very surprised to hear that Vegeta, VEGETA of all people was jealous of not just Goku's strength but also his kindness, heroes, warriors, and fans alike sat in stunned silence as the Saiyan who had built his entire identity on pride, rivalry, and unrelenting strength… had just admitted that he wasn't number one. That he had never been number one. Not in power. And, most shockingly, not in spirit.
Even the most hardened of skeptics found themselves moved. There was something deeply human about his speech about seeing someone like Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, lay bare his vulnerabilities in such a quiet, dignified moment.
And with that, everyone especially the Dragonball fans clapped in respect as the admiration for the Saiyan Prince grew.
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Vegeta was extremely embarrassed to have his inner most thoughts revealed like that, while Goku and the were stunned at Vegeta's proclamation.
"Vegeta... I..." Goku tried to speak up but was interrupted by Vegeta who raised his index finger in front of Goku's face and said, "Let's get something straight here Kakarot. Yes it's true... I've... acknowledged that you are superior to me."
"But..." Vegeta clenched his fist as he pointed at Goku and declared, "That doesn't mean that I won't stop trying to surpass you! Mark my words, one day I will defeat you so you better get ready for it!"
Goku said nothing as he looked at Vegeta with a serious expression, before he gained a smirk and said, "I look forward to that day Vegeta, but don't think I'm gonna let you catch up to me so easily!"
Vegeta smirked back, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
{Marvel 616 Universe}
Thor stood still as he still stared at Vegeta just thought to himself, his usual expression of boastful confidence or thunderous bravado was nowhere to be seen as he had a deep contemplative look on his face.
"…Humility," Thor murmured at last, "A trait that I thought I wouldn't need."
He took a slow breath, his gaze not leaving the screen as he continued "I know that journey well. To fall from pride, to taste defeat… and yet rise again, with a stronger resolve. That is the strength few have ever attained."
Steve gave a quiet nod, "Takes more courage to admit your own flaws than to pretend they don't exist. Humility's not weakness, it makes you stronger. Especially when it doesn't come easy."
Tony sipped his drink, his trademark smirk was still present, though noticeably softer, "Can't lie. I never saw the day where Thor admits he has flaws but I have seen weirder things in my life, what's one more."
"So what? Do you respect him now?" Clint asked as Thor turned his head slowly towards Clint and said "Vegeta has lost everything, fought gods, risen again, and learned to bow his head without breaking his pride… Then yes, he has my respect."
Bruce Banner looked thoughtful for a moment, "It's ironic. The more powerful he gets, the more human he becomes. Accepting weakness, facing failure… that's honestly impressive for someone like him."
Thor slowly stepped forward with his cape flowing behind him, as he looked at the image of Vegeta, "In the end, it is not Ultra Ego, nor Hakai, nor endless strength that defines him… but the strength to accept those stronger than himself."
He paused... then his lips curled into the faintest smile and said, ""I look forward to the day we meet. I suspect we'll clash first… and drink after."
["In a way, failing to beat Goku was probably the best thing for him. Vegeta's whole life was spent rebelling against the humiliation of his race, trying to prove his worth by being the best." Wiz informed them, "By contrast, Goku's self-improvement was never stunted by his ego and insecurities. In realizing that, Vegeta became more than a fighter, but a husband and a father as well, willing to sacrifice himself for what mattered most."]
["And Vegeta got a taste of that himself when he hooked up with Bulma for some Super Saiyan sexy time." Boomstick remarked, "Gettin' to beat Frieza's golden ass probably didn't hurt either. He may not always win, but he'll never be put down for long. So be sure to practice your groveling, because this is one prince ya don't wanna piss off."]
["It will take more than head games to stop me! You may have invaded my mind and my body, but there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps... HIS PRIIIIIIIIIDE!!!" Vegeta shouted at the top of his lungs as he broke from Babidi's control.]
As soon as Vegeta analysis ended, everyone was stunned, they had dismissed Vegeta as nothing more than a prideful warrior with a chip on his shoulder, someone constantly playing second fiddle to Goku. He was often seen as arrogant, angry, and too consumed by his own ego to grow beyond it.
But then they realised that all of his power and strength was well earned and he worked for it, so eventually his fans cheered and clapped for him.
["Alright, the combatants are set. We've run the data through all possibilities." Wiz said]
["IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLEEE!!!" Boomstick yelled.]
{Marvel 616 Universe}
Tony whistled and raised a glass of wine with a casual smirk, "Alright, Point Break, I've got a few drinks and a couple million dollars riding on you. So no pressure, but if you lose, I'm charging you interest."
Steve smirked at Thor, "We've seen you go toe-to-toe with the Hulk. If anyone can handle a Saiyan with anger issues, it's you."
Sam Wilson pumped a fist in the air, "C'mon, Thor! Show 'em why you're the God of Thunder!"
Clint casually flipped a kernel into his mouth and said, "I'm just here for the fireworks. But I gotta admit, seeing Thor go all-out? Always a good show."
Natasha nodded with a rare smile on her face, "Just don't break too many planets."
Thor, standing tall with Mjölnir in hand, simply chuckled, his cape draping regally behind him as he declared, "This Saiyan may be fierce, but he is no god. He shall know what it means to challenge the might of Asgard!"
Meanwhile, in a place far removed from time and space stood what looked, at first glance, like a radiant, glowing tree. But it wasn't a tree at all, in fact, it was actually what Norse Mythology called Yggdrasil.
Its branches shimmered not with leaves, but with strands of infinite timelines, each one branching, splitting, coiling into the next, all held together by one person.
And that one person... was Loki.
Loki looked interested as the corners of his mouth curled upward in quiet amusement.
"Oh, Thor." He murmured with a chuckle, "Always charging into battle with your hammer and your honor… You've found yourself quite the opponent this time."
His gaze lingered on the image of Vegeta, his eyes flickered with curiosity and intrigue.
"Good luck, brother... You're going to need it"
Then he smirked as he muttered, "Though
perhaps... you won't need it at all."
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Goku with his arms behind his head and a cheerful grin on his face chuckled warmly, "Heh, good luck, buddy. Show that thunder guy what the Prince of all Saiyans can really do!"
Bulma clenched her fists tightly as she leaned toward the screen, "C'mon, Vegeta! Fry that lightning-swinging musclehead! This is your time to shine!"
Gohan adjusted his glasses and spoke up, "Statistically, Vegeta has surpassed his limits more times than most fighters in history. If he uses Ultra Ego properly, Thor's durability might not even matter."
Krillin looked confused for a moment but decided to roll with it and said, "Come on Vegeta! You can beat him!"
Piccolo, standing in the corner with his arms folded nodded thoughtfully, "If Thor can fight gods and survive temporal rifts... then this won't be easy. But Vegeta's fought against, Beerus, Top and even Jiren, I like his odds."
"Yeah, go dad! Show Thor what it means to be a real Saiyan?" Trunks cheered for his father.
"If he wins... I might let him have a rematch with me." Beerus said coolly.
Vegeta who heard all of this grinned with pride, "Fools. I don't care if he's a god, a king, or the All-Father himself-I am Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans! And I will prove my superiority!"
{Insert: Princes of Pride by Brandon Yates feat. Jun Mitsui}
[In a riverside mountain forest, Thor Odinson is seen walking whilst carrying a large tree over his left shoulder, with his hammer Mjolnir in his right hand. However, he is suddenly staggered by a powerful shockwave that blows the tree out of his grasp.]
[Eyeing the source, he sees Vegeta practicing the use of his ki for a transformation. The latter is interrupted by Mjolnir, which zooms right past by his head into the grove behind him. He turns to see an impressed Thor walking up with a friendly greeting and question.]
["Ho there, mighty warrior! Thor greeted the Saiyan, "What business havest thou upon Earth?" ]
[Vegeta is less than amused with Thor's attempts to talk after his surprise attack, "Throw that hammer at me again and my 'business' will be polishing my gloves upon your face!"]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Goku chuckled as he watched the interaction between Thor and Vegeta, "Heh, Thor's got guts, I'll give him that. But man, you don't throw stuff at Vegeta unless you wanna lose a few teeth."
Whis smiled serenely, "Mmm, what a delightful exchange of barbaric energy. Earth's mightiest god versus Universe 7's grumpiest prince. This may prove... educational."
Bulma frowned as she knew what was going to happen, "Vegeta! Don't blow up the forest again! We just finished replanting after your last 'training session'!"
Vegeta can also feel his veins bulged as he was furious that Thor would dare attack him when he was practicing his Ki, "That arrogant bastard! I'll kill him for that!"
{Marvel 616 Universe}
Tony leaned back with a grin, "Well, that escalated quickly. I give it two more sentences before somebody craters the mountain."
Steve furrowed his brow, "He threw Mjölnir at him? I thought Thor was trying to make allies, not start wars."
Clint smirked as he still munched his popcorn, "Calling it now: forest's gonna be ash in five minutes."
Thor sweatdropped as he shook his head with his hand, "Haha... yeah that wasn't my strong suit maybe I should've talked with him instead."
[Smiling at Vegeta's bold attitude, Thor calls Mjolnir back to him, which Vegeta barely dodges, infuriating him. The jovial Thor laughs as he catches his weapon.]
[Thor laughed as he asked, "Didst that count?"]
[Annoyed beyond comprehension with Thor's sarcasm, Vegeta screams and charges towards Thor to deliver a gut punch, skidding him back a few feet. Thor retaliates with a few swings of his hammer, which Vegeta dodges before taking flight and using his iconic technique to fire a rapid barrage of ki blasts. Although Thor takes a few hits, he twirls Mjolnir to deflect the remainder of them.]
["Yield, damnable cur!" Thor exclaimed as he shoots a bolt of lightning with his hammer, striking his target dead-on and knocking him to the ground.]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Vegeta's fists clenched furiously as he growled through clenched teeth, "Tch… That smug, hammer-swinging bastard dares to mock me mid-battle?!" His aura flickered violently around him, as raw frustration simmered beneath the surface.
Goku grinned with a hand behind his head as he chuckled, "Heh… I dunno, Vegeta. He's kinda like Beerus, but way more loud about it, and that hammer trick's cool though! Deflecting ki blasts like they're nothing… and that lightning bolt? That's awesome!"
Piccolo who was standing in his usual composed stance observed the screen sharply, "He's using his weapon like an extension of his own body. Even Vegeta's rapid-fire Ki blasts couldn't break through."
Gohan, thoughtful as ever, added, "Thor doesn't just fight with strength… he uses his weapon with precision, his timing is calculated. It's like he's reading Vegeta like a book."
Beerus lounged sideways with a steaming bowl of instant noodles raised an eyebrow spoke with mild interest, "Hmph. That Asgardian does have style, I'll give him that. But that smug attitude? Reminds me of someone…"
Whis sipped delicately from a porcelain cup of tea and said, "Indeed. Thor isn't simply relying on brute strength, his centuries of battle have refined him. Each strike is calculated. And notice how he provokes Vegeta into attacking rashly, only to counter with perfect precision."
Bulma had her arms crossed but clearly impressed and gave the screen a look of frustrated curiosity, "That guy's got a worse ego than you, Vegeta. But that lightning attack was impressive. Wonder if I could develop something like that into your training gear…"
Vegeta was practically vibrating with indignation as he turned towards her and shouted, "I don't need some ridiculous training gimmick for that hammer-wielding clown! He got lucky exploiting my moment of hesitation." He snarled as he added, "I don't care how many centuries he's lived! He underestimated me! Next time I'll use Hakai and blast that smug grin into dust!"
["Thou fights well, for a mortal. Alas, you face a god!" Thor Odinson revealed as he pulls out his Celestial-slaying axe, Jarnbjorn, and goes back on the offensive, with Vegeta managing to dodge both deadly weapons. Thor jumps and throws a powerful downward strike with his axe, with Vegeta catching the blade. The environment erupts around the two as a result of their struggle. When the smoke clears, Vegeta has transformed into his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved state, before using Hakai to destroy Jarnbjorn and send Thor flying into a rock formation. Thor looks at his empty hand and realizes his opponent has destroyed his axe.]
["I have evolved beyond gods." Vegeta growled as he charged forward and landed a kick, sending his adversary flying across the fjord. He catches up and proceeds with a brutal beatdown on him, kneeing him upwards and speed-blitzing him in midair.]
{Marvel 616 Universe}
Thor's arms folded across his chest as his jaw tightened the moment Jarnbjorn, his beloved axe, is engulfed in Hakai's purple aura and shatters like glass.The moment Jarnbjorn is shattered by Vegeta's Hakai, His voice is low but heavy with restrained emotion, "He... destroyed Jarnbjorn?"
A long breath escapes him, until his frown slowly shifts into a smirk, "With his bare hands, no less. Hmph… This Saiyan is no ordinary mortal."
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow and gestures toward the screen with a flick of his wrist, "Okay, hold up. Vegeta's handing you your Asgardian ass right now, Point Break. You sure he's not just... you with a bigger temper? And that axe? Wasn't that your... 'Celestial-killer' or whatever?"
Thor, without taking his eyes off the screen gives a slow nod, "Jarnbjorn has felled creatures before, for it to fall to a mortal's hand… that is no small feat."
Steve watched the precision of Vegeta's strikes and commented, "He's not just powerful, he's tactical. He caught your axe, destroyed it with precision, and didn't waste a second going on the offensive."
Bruce stood behind the others as he adjusted his glasses, "He destroyed Jarnbjorn with a burst of destruction energy. That technique, Hakai? I wonder just how far he has mastered it."
Natasha relaxed against the back of the couch with a calculating look, "From what I remember, it surpasses Super Saiyan God. God-level strength, enhanced even further by willpower and rage. Sounds a bit like someone else I know." She glanced sideways at Thor and said, "Looks like you have your work cut out for you huh?"
Sam stared at the screen with widened eyes, "He punched Thor across a mountain. You're good with that, big guy?"
Thor, despite the bruises and loss of his weapon in the simulation, lets out a deep, rumbling laugh and exclaimed, "He evolved beyond gods, did he? Bold words. But I relish a challenge. A warrior who earns my respect through strength... deserves my wrath in full."
["I'm the Prince of all Saiyans, and you can burn in Hell! BIG BANG ATTACK!" Vegeta screamed as he fired his attack onto his falling foe but there was no explosion, just a large ball of energy being absorbed by Mjolnir, held by Thor with some intense struggle. Vegeta dives down to make his next move but Thor spins his mighty weapon and throws it past Vegeta before instantly coming back. He halts Mjolnir still with the palm of his hand and laughs arrogantly...]
[...only for the hammer's enchanted weight to power through and push down on him hard, sending him screaming downwards into the water below. Thor follows in after.]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Vegeta's eyes bulged out and his jaw clenched in fury as he pointed at the screen and yelled, "THAT DAMNED HAMMER!!! How could it absorb my Big Bang Attack like it was nothing?!"
Goku tilted his head with a confused but impressed look, "Whoa, that hammer is awesome! It just absorbed that Ki energy and flattened you after doing a fake-out. That's kinda genius!"
Vegeta turned sharply towards him, and snarled, "Shut up, Kakarot! That was not a genius move, it was a trick! I was moments away from turning that overgrown lightning rod into ash!"
Gohan, analyzing the scene with a calm look on his face, "So… Mjolnir absorbed the Big Bang Attack without detonating? It's like it inverted the energy into itself. Then it used its weight enchantment to overpower Vegeta mid-air. That's a next-level combat strategy."
Trunks looked visibly stunned and concerned as he pointed out, "D-Dad… got UNO reversed by that hammer?!"
Vegeta grinded his teeth and growled, "Next time... that hammer's getting crushed. I don't care what magic it's hiding behind, I'll Hakai it, then him."
Goku who was still smiling commented, "You sure? Might wanna aim for the head next time, not the hammer."
Vegeta pointed a finger at him and warned him, "I swear if you say 'always aim for the head,' I'll Hakai YOU!"
["Thou art unworthy!" Thor said loudly as the two hit the water, the entire lake erupts and amongst the exposed lake bed, they are engaged in a tense grapple. Vegeta is now emitting violet ki energy, having entered his Ultra Ego form. Thor delivers an ineffective headbutt which Vegeta laughs off before returning the favor, winning the grapple and sending his foe stumbling back. Thor calls back his weapon and comes in swinging, hitting the unphased Vegeta twice before putting more of his power into a lightning-fueled third strike, to no avail. Vegeta bends over but is far from out of the fight as he taunts his adversary.]
["Tell me. Does a god such as yourself feel fear?!" Vegeta asked as he charges Thor at light speed, striking him with an uppercut that shoots him back in the air again. The violet-haired Vegeta joins him, only to kick him into a nearby mountain. Thor gives a shocked face as Vegeta teleports in front of him, with a Ki-charged palm right in Thor's face. The resulting blast annihilates the mountain and some of the surrounding forest, but Thor is still in one piece yet stunned. Vegeta binds his enemy's limbs with energy rings before beating him into another mountain and knocking him across the fjord helplessly. A brief break in the assault gives Thor the chance to answer his foe's question.]
{Marvel 616 Universe}
"Well… that escalated quickly," Tony muttered, his quip noticeably quieter than usual.
Sam blinked at the display of raw destruction, pointing as the mountain was obliterated like it was nothing, "Uh, Cap? Are we sure this guy's not gonna kill Thor?"
Steve's jaw tightened as he watches Thor took an explosion to the face and still standing, "Don't think like that Sam. He's still in one piece. That's something."
Bruce analyzed the energy readouts on a tablet as he commented, "That wasn't just ki. That was raw destructive intent, Ultra Ego enhances the user the more damage they take. It's like Vegeta's biology is engineered for escalating brutality."
"Like the Hulk but with pride as bigger as his hairline." Clint added, his voice dry as he munched on popcorn, though his other hand had paused midway to his mouth.
Natasha just stared at the screen with a deadpanned expression, "He asked Thor if he felt fear and then kicked him into a mountain. Classic intimidation tactic… but that wasn't fear Thor was feeling. That was shock."
Thor's eyes narrowed as he stared at the screen, "I must admit… Vegeta fights with valor. It's honestly honourable." He admitted before he grinned, "This… this is a battle worthy of the ages!"
Tony raised an eyebrow at him, "You just got slammed into a mountain, and you're excited?"
"Aye." Thor said, his eyes lit with a dangerous, eager gleam, "Vegeta, he does not cower. He does not falter. He dares to challenge a god's might. And that makes him a worthy opponent for me to go all out!"
["No fear... only... THUNDER!!" Thor roars as he taps into his Warrior's Madness, freeing him from his bindings before he charges towards Vegeta. Both clash repeatedly as they whiz through the sky, causing geysers of water to splash up from the lake below with each strike until Thor catches Vegeta's arm before calling upon lightning to electrocute him and hitting him with Mjolnir, sending Vegeta's body ricocheting across the lake before smashing into a nearby cliff face.]
["All you will feel... IS OBLIVION!!" Vegeta screams as he frees himself from the rubble before charging two orbs in his hands, one of ki and one of destruction energy as he prepares the Final Flash. Thor proceeds to charge up his own final attack, the God-Blast, in retaliation, spinning his hammer so fast that the stars in the sky start spinning.]
["FIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAL..."]
["Feel Heaven's wrath!"]
[The Mighty Thor releases his attack towards his seemingly still vulnerable opponent, who only smiles before using Instant Transmission to avoid the God-Blast. In shock at his attack's failure, Thor turns around only to see Vegeta giving him a harsh greeting.]
["...FLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSHHH!!!!!!!!!!"]
[Vegeta blasts the destruction energy infused attack point blank at Thor, the beam being visible from space as it leaves Earth's atmosphere. Back in the severely devastated fjord with a destroyed mountain, Vegeta pants in having exhausted his power and smirks, thinking he won the day...]
{Marvel 616 Universe}
As the simulated battle reached its cataclysmic peak, the Avengers' common room was dead silent, save for the thunderous "FLLAAAAASH!" echoing from the screen and the roaring Final Flash tearing through clouds and sound barriers alike.
"HOLY HELL!" Sam exclaimed, practically falling out of his seat.
Clint Barton dropped his popcorn entirely, "Holy Shit! That is the coolest thing I have ever seen!"
Tony Stark stood up, mouth agape, raised in disbelief, "Okay. I'm just gonna say this, there is absolutely no way that blast could kill Thor, but there is a chance that he's critically injured."
Natasha blinked profusely, her usual calm momentarily gone, "T-that's… I-I don't think that Thor could survive that at all."
Steve was silent for a while staring hard at the screen. His eyes narrowed, "...He's not done. Thor's not finished yet."
Thor grinned ear-to-ear, his cape fluttering slightly as residual static energy pulsed around him from pure adrenaline.
"No!!" He boomed, "There's no way that I will fall that easily!"
"Uh," Bruce murmured cautiously, "That beam had destruction energy in it. Are we sure your simulated self didn't just get atomized on a molecular..."
"Bah!" Thor bellowed out as he waved him off, "I have stood against Hela, Surtur, and the World Serpent! A prince with dyed hair and shouting problems shall not be the end of the Thunder God!"
Clint scoffed, "Thor, you took a full on Hakai beam to the face! Are you sure you're not dead."
"No," Thor declared as lightning crackled around him, "I'll rise."
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Vegeta smirked arrogantly, barely able to contain the pride in his own power, even if it was a simulation as he said, "YES! There's no way that Thor could survive my Final Flash at point blank range! He is as good as dead!"
Goku's eyes widened as he had a goofy grin plastered across his face as he cheered, "Woah! That was insane, Vegeta! You actually Instant Transmissioned behind Thor's strongest move?! That was so cool!"
Vegeta grunted as he exclaimed, "Of course it was cool, Kakarot. It was me. And did you see the look on his face? That so-called 'God of Thunder' never saw it coming!"
Whis lets out an impressed chuckle,
"Wow, I must admit, using a mix of destruction and ki at that proximity, while dodging a God Blast shows exceptional growth, Vegeta. Though I must wonder… did you win? Or did you just exhaust yourself enough to think you did?"
Beerus raised a brow at this, "Hmm... Quiet impressive Vegeta, I honestly underestimated you, You deserve my praise "
Trunks who was watching with his mouth hanging open, snaps out of his daze and cheered for his father, "Dad, you... you won! You actually won!"
Bulma whistled as she put her hands on her hips, "Your energy output tripled when you mixed the ki and destruction orbs. But honey… are you sure you're not going to burn yourself out using that trick in real life?"
Vegeta scoffed and doesn't even glance back at her, "Please, there's no way I won't go all out after facing an opponent like him."
Gohan studied the technique and commented thoughtfully, "The fusion of ki and Hakai energy, I've never seen that before… It seems that Vegeta has finally managed to catch up with Dad again."
Piccolo finally spoke up, "If Vegeta actually won, why hasn't the video ended yet?"
Everyone was silent as Vegeta turned around, almost ready to shout at him before he stopped himself.
'There's... there is no way he actually survived that right? Impossible! He must be dead! I killed him! He still can't be alive now right?'
[...only for a strong arm to emerge from the smoke and clutch his mouth shut, taking him by surprise. The smoke clears revealing a panting, battle-damaged, but very much alive Thor. Immediately, Vegeta grabs onto the arm and taps into a mass of destruction energy to use Hakai, but for what would usually be the end for most foes, Thor remains unaffected. His eyes shimmer with fury as he offers his opponent a cold piece of advice.]
["Always aim for the head!"]
[In the body of water below them, Mjolnir stirs and soars upwards towards its wielder's palm. Vegeta, still in Thor's grasp, does a last-ditch-maneuver of trying to throw Thor over his head, only for Thor to overpower his attempted counter, and slam Vegeta downward.]
[Vegeta struggles to free himself to no avail and can only observe as the magical hammer rockets toward the back of his head before it is crushed into paste between the weapon and Thor's hand, causing the aura of Hakai energy to burst outwards as a purple mist before it starts to fade away. Dropping Vegeta's headless corpse, Thor takes a moment to catch his breath before lifting Mjolnir into the air and roaring in victory as the skies cloud over and a thunderstorm begins to form.]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
A dreadful, oppressive silence swallowed the room.
No one moved. No one breathed. All eyes were glued to the screen, frozen on the image of Vegeta's lifeless, headless body collapsing to the ground, blood still steaming from where Thor's final blow had landed.
Even though it was just a simulation, the raw brutality of it felt horrifyingly real. None of them had ever seen Vegeta fall like that, not in such a savage, final, and humiliating fashion.
Vegeta himself stared at the screen in complete disbelief. His breath caught in his throat, and for a moment, it felt like his heart had stopped.
His legs trembled slightly, and he instinctively stepped back, as if trying to physically distance himself from what he just witnessed.
"No... This can't be..." He growled through clenched teeth, his voice trembling with disbelief and rage as his fists balled so tightly his knuckles cracked, "I lost...? Again?!"
His pride, his very essence... shattered beneath the weight of that single moment. The mighty Saiyan Prince stood still, crushed under a truth too bitter to swallow.
"VEGETA!!" Goku shouted, his voice cracking with raw emotion. His wide eyes didn't blink, as disbelief was etched across his face. He'd seen Vegeta take hits, lose fights… but not like this.
Piccolo's stoic facade cracked, as his arms fell from their usual cross as he murmured, "That was… brutal. There was no mercy in that attack."
Krillin's face had gone pale as he muttered, "Okay... wow. Thor really meant it when he said, 'Always aim for the head'... That was beyond savage."
Beerus, who had been lounging lazily moments ago now sat upright, as his eyes narrowed at the screen, "Thor…" He whispered in an incredulous tone, "He resisted Hakai. That's impossible. No one should be able to withstand destruction itself."
Whis was calm as ever but noticeably more serious, brought a finger to his chin, "It would seem that not even Ultra Ego, fueled by pure instinct and destruction, was enough to overcome the might of the God of Thunder."
Gohan stood still as his face paled as he watched the footage, "Vegeta… he used everything. Ultra Ego… Hakai... everything. And Thor just resisted all of it."
A sudden smash cut through the silence as Bulma's glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor. She didn't even look down. Her eyes were wide with fury and horror as she screamed,"THAT ASSHOLE!!! HE KILLED MY HUSBAND!!"
Trunks stood frozen, as he visibly trembled, and his voice barely above a whisper, "He… he tanked a full Hakai. And then… he just crushed Dad's head like it was nothing…"
Goten who was standing next to him, looked like he might throw up at the sight.
Goku's fists clenched tighter, his arms shaking as he kept staring at the screen, locked in a trance of disbelief, "Vegeta didn't hold back... he used everything on that Final Flash… and that guy just… refused to die."
Frieza Command Ship
Frieza threw his head back and burst into uproarious, cold-hearted laughter as his high-pitched voice echoing through the room.
"Ohohohohoho!! Delightful! Absolutely delightful!" He cackled, his tail swaying behind him with smug satisfaction as he continued, "Oh, 'Prince Vegeta,' how utterly predictable! You strut about with that inflated ego of yours, babbling on about pride, power, and surpassing 'Kakarot' only to have your head crushed like a grape!"
He stepped closer to the screen, practically glowing with malicious glee, his eyes glinting with wicked amusement, "Honestly, I should thank this Thor fellow. Not only did he give you a taste of the humiliation you so richly deserve, but he did it with style. I mean, really, that final blow was art. Brute force with divine finesse! I almost envy him."
He tilted his head mockingly, folding his arms behind his back as he sneered, "All that destruction energy, all that screaming... and for what? You couldn't even land a kill shot. You Saiyans, always so dramatic and yet so pathetically fragile in the end."
Frieza gave a theatrical sigh, putting a hand to his chest in faux sympathy, "Well, don't take it too hard, Vegeta. After all, dying in combat is your one true talent. You're just... terribly consistent at it."
Then, with a sharp-toothed grin and a twinkle of sadism in his eyes, he added with a venomous chuckle, "Perhaps next time, you'll stay dead. Or better yet... leave the god-slaying to the grown-ups."
{Marvel 616 Universe}
The Avengers were silent, eerily so as the final moments of the brutal simulation played out on the large display. The crackling energy of the thunderstorm on-screen was the only sound filling the space… until the squelch of Vegeta's skull was crushed reverberated through the speakers.
Steve Rogers instinctively flinched, his super-soldier senses recoiling at the sheer visceral brutality of the finishing move, "…Jesus," He muttered under his breath.
Natasha leaned forward slowly, but her eyes were locked on Thor, who was now basking in the lightning storm, "Well... that's one hell of a finishing move. Brutal but efficient."
Brucs looked conflicted and adjusted his glasses as he said, "Wow...I mean wow. Thor survived a direct Hakai. That's... theoretically impossible, right? That's literal erasure. If this simulation's even remotely accurate…"
Clint blinked in shock but tried to shrug it off as he commented, "So... this is what you look like when you unleash your full power? Because I'm suddenly glad you're on our team."
Sam shook his head as he stated, "Forget Ultra Instinct, that was Ultra Unalived."
Tony who had been sipping his drink, slowly put it down as he turned to Thor and asked, "Okay, Thor, what are your thoughts on it?"
The room turned to Thor, who hadn't moved since the screen faded to black. His expression? A complex mix of solemn pride and the primal satisfaction of triumph.
He finally exhaled and murmured, "A warrior to the end... He fought with honour, fury... and pride befitting of a prince." He tightened his grip on Mjolnir as he continued, "But like I told him. Always aim for the head."
Tony gave a low whistle, "You went full Mad Titan with that quote, huh? Respect."
Thor glanced at him, then back at the screen, "Unlike the Titan, I followed through it."
Steve raised a brow at him, "You think it really would've gone that way?"
Thor nodded slowly, "Vegeta was tough sure, but in battle, strength alone does not decide victory. It is will. And he underestimated the fury of a god."
["Oh, I get it! Thor won because he's a natural blonde!" Boomstick exclaimed.]
["Despite Vegeta's immense power and tenacity, the God of Thunder had him outmatched in several key areas." Wiz explained.]
["First off, the big one, who was stronger?" Boonstick questioned the audience.]
["Despite being up against the God of Strength, Vegeta actually matched up pretty closely with Thor. Both could output power far in excess of destroying a single universe." Wiz said.]
["It's always tough to get an exact number for Dragon Ball Super's most powerful characters, but we can combine the size of Universe 7 with multipliers from Vegeta's transformations to get a rough estimate." Boonstick explained.]
["It's important to note that Ultra Ego's power boost has never been stated, but we do know that Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta were roughly even in power. When Goku applied a Kaio-ken x20 boost to fight Jiren, Vegeta kept up after going Blue Evolved, implying that both increases in power are roughly the same increase." Wiz calculated, "Similarly, Blue Vegeta matched base Top, and needed Blue Evolved to keep up with Top's God of Destruction form, which is extremely similar to Ultra Ego in theme and purpose. Given this is the best current example of a measurable form akin to Ultra Ego, we can assume that Ultra Ego's boost in power, at least initially, could be extremely similar in terms of a percentage increase, making Ultra Ego's original state about 20 times more powerful than Blue Evolved. With that in mind, Vegeta at his peak could destroy a universe roughly 260,000 times over."]
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Capsule Corp
Goku leaned forward with his trademark excitement and innocent wonder, "Whoa… so Vegeta could destroy a universe 260,000 times over? That's insane! I mean, I always knew he was strong, but I didn't realize he was that strong!"
Piccolo stood with his arms folded, squinting at the numbers flashing on the screen, "Hmph. They really went deep with those calculations. Not just raw power, they factored in multipliers, transformations, even energy scaling."
Krillin took a step back, his jaw practically unhinged as he stuttered, "Wait, wait wait... you're telling me that Vegeta can destroy a universe 260,000 times?! That's… that's not even a number my brain knows how to handle!"
Gohan adjusted his glasses as he leaned toward the screen,"It's fascinating. The comparison with Thor really does put Ultra Ego into a new context. I always assumed Vegeta was in a league of his own, but a being who can match and surpass that? That's..."
Trunks, standing beside his father, looked down with quiet concern as he saw Vegeta still kneeling from the aftermath of the simulated battle. His voice was low, tinged with disappointment and sympathy,
"I really thought you had it, Dad… I believed in you."
Beerus scoffed from his seat and slurped from a bowl of steaming ramen, unfazed by the somber atmosphere, "Tch. And yet, despite all that overwhelming power... he still lost."
Whis, twirled his staff gently spinning beside him, offered a knowing smile, "Well, Lord Beerus, power isn't everything. Strategy, versatility, and durability all come into play. Thor had a rather unique arsenal, wouldn't you say?"
Vegeta clenched his fists until the ground beneath him cracked with the force. His eyes are shadowed beneath furrowed brows, as he glared at the screen in bitter silence, "Even with Ultra Ego… even when I pushed past my limits… it still wasn't enough…" His voice was low, seething with rage and self-loathing.
Goku stepped beside him, placing a hand on his rival's shoulder with a rare touch of gentle sincerity, "Don't beat yourself up over it, Vegeta. You fought with everything you had. Thor was a god in every sense of the word. But you? You went toe to toe with him. That's not a loss to be ashamed of… That's something to be proud of."
Vegeta didn't respond right away, then he stood up slowly, dusting himself off and slapped Goku's hand off of him, "I'm not proud of second place, Kakarot," He growled in a low tone, "But I will be proud of the day I surpass even the gods of other worlds. I swear it."
["And Thor was pretty close to that. Taking a look at the Marvel universe's size, which has a radius of at least a trillion light years, as well as scaling to the Worldbreaker Hulk, Thor ended up only about 10 times stronger." Boonstick added.]
["Not terribly different, and it's definitely possible Vegeta's power could increase during the fight to match it." Wiz theorised.]
["But even if he was stronger, it wasn't the only thing that mattered. Ultra Ego's damage absorption could only do so much against an opponent like Thor." Boonstick explained further.]
{Akame Ga Kill Universe (Before Episode 13)}
Jaegers Headquarters
Esdeath seated at the head of the chamber leaned forward, her piercing gaze studied the stats on screen as she murmured with a predatory smile, "A power level ten times greater than the Hulk's worldbreaker form is… Now that is a force worth acknowledging."
Kurome, who was toying idly with her blade looked at the screen, and tilted her head, "Saiyans… they get stronger as they fight. Evolving in the middle of a battle right?"
She glanced at her sister's file nearby, then back to the image, "But evolution only matters if you survive long enough. Thor doesn't seem like the kind of man who gives second chances."
Wave's eyes widened at the screen, as he tried to process the magnitude of what he'd just witnessed, "Ten times the power of a living weapon like Hulk? Thor must be a cataclysm in human form!"
Bols, wide-eyed and gripping the straps of his flamethrower tightly, muttered under his breath, "He can grow stronger during
combat? He's a fighting beast then!"
Run, seated calmly as his voice cut through the murmurs with measured clarity, "Damage absorption… yet it doesn't nullify every blow. And he still managed to put up a fight against Thor? That's far more resilience than any Teigu can provide."
Seryu's eyes widened with awe and whispered in a rare moment of reflection, "So Vegeta's strength may rival Thor's, but Thor's endurance and hammer might outpace even the Saiyan Prince."
"It is clear, then," Esdeath declared, her voice cool and absolute, "Victory in this kind of battle does not lie solely in brute strength or raw potential. It lies in commanding the battlefield, in manipulating the tide of war to your rhythm. That is the mark of a true warrior."
["Vegeta may have trained as a warrior from birth, but Thor has been fighting for millennia against a much wider variety of foes, allowing him to adapt to Vegeta fairly easily." Wiz clarified.]
["And the fact that Thor was way faster gave him a lotta leeway to use that extra combat experience." Boomstick continued.]
{Mashle: Magic and Muscles Universe}
Easton Magic Academy Dorm Lounge
Lance Crown watched intently as he let out a low contemplative hum, "Thousands of years of battle experience... That's a level of wisdom you can't train for, no matter how powerful you are. Regardless of how strong Vegeta is, he never stood a chance."
Dot Barrett leapt to his feet, nearly knocking over the table, his whole body practically vibrating with disbelief, "Are you kidding me?! Thor's faster and more experienced? What's next, an immortal reptile is going to show up next?!"
He jabbed a finger at the screen exclaiming, "And I thought Vegeta was the cool one! He's got spiky hair, explosions, rage issues, He's basically me! If I had abs, could fly, and, y'know, exploded stuff!"
Finn Ames, seated beside him, chuckled nervously, tugging his cloak a bit tighter, "Yeah, except Thor's not just strong… he's, like, divine strong. He fights space monsters and reality-bending gods every other week."
He gave Dot a sidelong glance and muttered, "Maybe don't compare yourself to the Prince of all Saiyans or the God of Thunder."
Mash Burnedead, sitting quietly nearby, had been completely focused on his cream puff until now. He finally blinked and looked up, his expression neutral and said, "So… Thor won because he was faster… and older?"
He paused as he added, "Would lifting help with that?"
Everyone froze. Finn, already sensing where this was going, let out a long, resigned sigh, "Oh no."
Lance, raising an eyebrow and turning toward Mash, his voice dry as he said, "Mash… lifting won't give you a thousand years of combat experience."
Mash stood up and brushed sugar off his lap and flexed absently, "But maybe if I lift long enough, I'll catch up."
Dot threw his hands in the air, and shouted, "That's not how it works, muscle brain! You can't just bench press your way and suddenly gain some battle experience!"
Mash however looked dead serious on this, "...Wanna bet?"
Finn facepalmed as he muttered to himself, "We're going to need a second screen if he tries to challenge a god next week…"
["Applying Vegeta's transformation multipliers to the shockwaves from Goku and Beerus' punches, Vegeta should be able to fight at nearly 300 quintillion times the speed of light." Wiz calculated.]
["But scaling to Ares moving within Planck time, Thor would be over 70 quadrillion times faster." Boomstick explained.]
["More than fast enough to avoid Vegeta's ki attacks, and even more importantly, absorb all of them with Mjolnir. This alone could shut down all of Vegeta's ranged attacks." Wiz revealed.]
["Sure, Veggie could absorb it back with Spirit Fission, but he'd have to hit Thor first, and with that much of a speed difference, that's easier said than done. And since Thor can just will the energy out of somebody, he could just take it right back, and then some." Boomstick explained.]
{Star Wars (Clone Wars Timeline) Before Ahsoka left the Jedi Order}
Jedi Temple – High Council Chamber
Mace Windu's expression was unreadable, as he leaned slightly forward, "Hmph. Energy absorption, redirection, and even will-based extraction... This Mjolnir is no mere weapon, it is a divine artifact. Combined with that speed, Vegeta was cornered the moment Thor took the field."
Yoda seated in quiet contemplation, opened his eyes slowly and said, "Speed, yes. And power, yes… but also purpose. Will tempered through centuries. Strength alone, no victory guarantees. Control… along with intent… leads to triumph, it does."
Obi-Wan Kenobi nodded his head, "Vegeta's techniques are powerful, no doubt. But Spirit Fission requires precision, contact… and time. Time Thor clearly did not give him."
Plo Koon chimed in with his voice as he observed the replay,
"Mjolnir's capacity to absorb energy is impressive, akin to our own Force technique of energy absorption. But this is far beyond defensive manipulation."
Ki-Adi-Mundi, stroking his beard, raised a brow, "Thor's capacity to willfully remove energy from another being… It's as though the Force itself answers his call. And without balance, there was little hope for Vegeta."
Anakin Skywalker's brow furrowed as he spoke with frustrated disbelief, "Still… he should've found a way. A real fighter doesn't just accept defeat."
Mace Windu turned slightly toward him and replied evenly, "There's a difference between persistence and recklessness, Skywalker. Vegeta relied too heavily on brute force and pride. Thor controlled the battlefield before the first blow even struck."
Obi-Wan's lips curved into a knowing smirk as he added, "Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Charging into hopeless odds, refusing to accept strategic limitations…"
Anakin glared at his master and said, "And what's that supposed to mean?"
Ahsoka Tano smirked from the side as she leaned against the wall, "He means you'd probably charge at Thor head-on and get zapped into next week."
Yoda let out a deep chuckle, "Unwise, that would be."
["Even without absorption, Vegeta's ki reserves are not infinite, and many of his battles have ended with him at low energy. He was exhausted by the end of the Tournament of Power, which lasted about one hour in total." Wiz said.]
["Meanwhile, Thor fought an army for over a month straight." Boomstick added.]
["Theoretically, Vegeta could've ended the fight immediately with Hakai, if not for the fact that Thor has resisted existence erasure before, including physically, spiritually, and temporally." Wiz pointed out.]
{Overlord Universe (After Season 3)}
The throne room of the Great Tomb of Nazarick
Ainz Ooal Gown sits atop his dark throne, gazing thoughtfully at the glowing projections of the Death Battle analysis.
Albedo's eyes widened with astonishment, as she clutched her hands to her chest, "Thor fought for a month without rest?! Such divine stamina… it's absurd!"
Ice laced her voice as she crossed her arms tightly beneath her chest, "Even a Supreme Being would hesitate to challenge such endurance, and I do not say that lightly."
Demiurge adjusted his glasses and smiled calmly, as he looked at the screen with intellectual interest, "Fascinating. Not merely strength, but resilience beyond mortal comprehension. To resist Hakai, a form of absolute erasure that eliminates the body, spirit, and time... That places Thor in the realm of conceptual immunity. Almost like a World Enemy."
Cocytus nodded gravely, "To fight for a month… without faltering… he is… a true warrior."
Shalltear Bloodfallen bit her thumb with a hint of excitement, "Mm~ how interesting. I'd love to test my lance against someone with that much divine energy pulsing through their veins. He'd be such a delightful opponent!"
Aura, who was still staring at the screen with wide eyes muttered in awe, "Even if Vegeta could destroy planets, it wouldn't matter if he ran out of energy halfway through. Thor just keeps going…"
Mare hugged his staff with trembling hands and whispered, "And h-he resisted being erased completely? Even his soul? Even in Yggdrasil, that kind of immunity didn't exist..."
Sebas Tian nodded with measured respect, "Even among the warriors I've known, I've never heard of a man battling for over a month. That sort of willpower… it is as frightening as it is admirable."
Ainz Ooal Gown, who was resting his skeletal chin on one hand, finally spoke with measured contemplation, "To resist an erasure technique that targets all levels of existence… that places Thor among beings who transcend the mechanics of the world itself. Even in Yggdrasil, we had no resistance to total deletion. This is a level of durability that borders on... the divine."
He turned to Demiurge, his voice sharp with curiosity as he asked, "Compare him to our most dangerous foes. How does he measure?"
Demiurge smirked slightly and replied, "If he were in Nazarick, my Lord… I suspect even Rubedo would be required to fight at full strength. And even then, the outcome would be uncertain."
Albedo's eyes twitched with fury as she growled, "Let him come. If he thinks himself superior to Nazarick… we will show him the folly of defying the Supreme One."
Ainz, raising a skeletal hand calmly, as he chuckled with amusement. "No, Albedo. We do not provoke beings of his caliber without cause. But it is... enlightening. The Saiyan Prince had might. But Thor? He was just too much for him."
["Meanwhile, Vegeta had no way to match the God-Blast, which could have killed friggin' Galactus! And that guy has threatened the infinite multiverse with destruction just as a side-effect of his battles. That's a level of power beyond anything we've seen in Dragon Ball yet, let alone Vegeta." Boomstick revealed.]
{Transformers Prime Universe (Season 3 Timeline)}
The Nemesis
Starscream stumbled backward, his wings twitching as he nearly collapsed onto the cold steel floor,u "D-Did I hear that right? Infinite multiverse destruction? From a single blast?!"
He spun around as his optics widened with disbelief, "Even Unicron never pulled off that kind of annihilation casually! This is madness!"
Knock Out, reclining lazily on a command console with a cube of energon in hand smirked, "Oh, Starscream, don't be so dramatic. We Decepticons are all about destruction,.but I'll admit... killing someone who eats planets as a side effect? Now that's overkill in style."
Soundwave tilted his head slightly. The waveform display on his visor flickered for a brief moment, processing and calculating as the image of Galactus hovered in his memory bank, now next to Unicron. A silent question formed in his mechanical mind: Which would prevail?
Shockwave took a calculated step forward, his mono-eye glowing as he analyzed the data, "Fascinating. If Thor's weaponry can indeed eliminate an entity such as Galactus, who exists beyond linear space-time, then he has achieved what could only be described as abstract-tier offense. The implications defy not only Cybertronian science but fundamental logic."
Megatron loomed at the center of the command deck, narrowed his crimson optics at the screen as he stared intently at the screen, "This... Thor has an attack which could kill a being that can destroy universes just as a side effect, there's no way that such a being could exist!"
His voice then took on a mixture of disdain and slight respect, "And yet, this... Saiyan warrior challenged such might, knowing he could not match it. A futile act... but a glorious one."
Starscream, flailed his arms as he paced around dramatically, "Oh, please! Glorious? It was suicidal! If I knew my enemy could destroy infinite realities, I wouldn't even show up!"
Megatron's optics flared as he turned to the panicked Seeker, his tone as cold and cutting as Cybertronian steel, "And that, Starscream, is precisely why you will never be an honourable warrior."
Then Megatron turned to the rest of his crew, his voice cold and commanding, "If such a being exists… we must hope he never sets foot on Cybertronian soil. Otherwise, not even Unicron may rival his wrath."
["Vegeta was never going to go down easy, but Thor's raw power, speed, and devastating godly abilities were too much for the Prince of all Saiyans." Wiz said.]
["Vegeta "Mjol-nearly" won, until Thor blew his mind." Boonstick punned.]
["You might say that pun was "Hakai-nd" of terrible. Eh?" Wiz tried to pun as well.]
["You don't do puns! We've talked about this!" Boomstick yelled.]
["Aw."Wiz pouted.]
["My thing!" Boomstick yelled again.]
["Well, the winner is Thor..." Wiz said in a saddened tone as Thor's image appeared on the screen, declaring Thor the victor.]
The screen remains pitch black for a few lingering seconds... until it flickers back to life. A vast, shimmering expanse of interdimensional space stretches across the view. Slowly, the camera stopped on a stark white chamber. At its center, two radiant green portals hum quietly, awaiting the arrival for the two fighters to step through.
{Marvel 616 Universe}
A brilliant green portal burst to life before them, its swirling vortex glowing with energy and throbbing with anticipation.
Thor grinned as he gripped Mjolnir before turning back to his friends, "Farewell my dear friends, I'm offer to visit Vegeta, hopefully his temper has cooled down a little!"
And with that, the God of Thunder left with a loud boom before walking towards the portal and it closed behind him.
"You know he's gonna pay for the floor right, I've just bought those." Tony remarked while the others just shrugged.
{Dragon Ball Super Universe}
Just like in the other universe, a swirling green portal materialized before the Z Fighters, its energy crackling with a strange, otherworldly hum.
Goku beamed with excitement, waving enthusiastically at Vegeta, "Bye, Vegeta! Don't forget to say hi for me!" He called out cheerfully, clearly enjoying himself far too much.
Vegeta's eye twitched as a vein bulged on his forehead, his irritation flaring. He turned his head just enough to glare at Goku.
"Tch. Shut up, Kakarot!" He snapped, his pride refusing to indulge Goku's antics.
Without another word, he stepped forward with purpose and vanished into the portal, its green glow swallowing him whole as it closed behind him with a low hum.
{Interdimensional Space}
The two portals then appeared in the interdimensional space as both Thor and Vegeta came out of it.
Thor was delighted to see his opponent in the flesh while Vegeta was enraged to see the god who had defeated him in front of everyone.
"HAHAHA! That was a fight worthy of the ages, Prince Vegeta! Your strength is beyond mortal reckoning. Truly, you are a warrior of legend!" Thor's voice boomed with respect, though his grin is unmistakable.
Vegeta's jaw tightened, but he doesn't lash out, "...Tch. Save your flattery, 'god'. I don't need your pity."
Thor tilted his head in confusion, "Pity? I speak only truth. You fought with the fury of a thousand storms! Few have ever pushed me this hard!"
Vegeta's eyes burn with anger beyond comprehension as he growled, "You won. This time. But don't think for a second that this is over."
Thor chuckled as he grabbed Mjolnir tightly, "Oh? You wish to go for another round?"
Vegeta clenches his fist as he screamed and instantly flew towards him with a punch to which Thor responded with a strike from his hammer and their battle officially begins a second time.
After a few minutes, the Interdimensional space lies in ruins, the air crackling with residual energy from their clash. Thor was slightly injured, with him still holding Mjolnir at his side, while Vegeta kneels amidst the rubble, his armor scorched and his pride wounded.
"Tch, your strong Thor..." Vegeta stumbled to his feet as he wiped off some blood from his mouth, "But mark my words, Odinson... I will surpass you. And when I do, I'll make sure you will regret this."
Thor's grin widened as he raises Mjolnir, as lightning appeared across the entire space in response, "Then I shall await that day with relish! A king should always have worthy rivals!"
As the conversation ended between the two of them, two glowing portals appeared behind them.
With a final scoff, Vegeta turns away to leave. But he paused, throwing one last glance over his shoulder towards Thor and said, "...Just don't slack off. I won't waste my time crushing a weaker opponent."
Thor's laugter echoed as he declared, "HAHAHA! Fear not, Saiyan! The God of Thunder does not know how to grow soft!"
With that the two of them left as the portals slowly closed behind them, while their interaction was short, it ignited a fighting spirit that will never go out for a short time.

"Ah, Ah, Ah! Can't beat me the same way twice."
"... they were... disgusting..."
