“What the hell is this clown doing?!” Vortex-Man took a defensive stance after sensing an unalarming amount of bloodlust from Spina. “This isn’t rage—”, The Kryptonian was only able to see just a glimpse of the older Saiyan’s face, but from the little he saw was enough to send chills down his spine. “This is plain unfiltered hate.” Unlike the Breakers, he was not going to wait around to see what’s going to happen next, especially after Bernkastel shoved Vegetto. A fight breaking out is now a matter of when, not if. “Higher King—”
An overcast formed above the group, right after Vegetto laid out those devastating words to Spina. His body visibly shook, and his anger had seemingly reached a boiling point. He grinded his teeth; veins became notably apparent across his face and neck. He raised his left arm slowly, blatantly indicating that he was about to strike the Potara fusion, even with Bernkastel in the way.
Spina stopped midway after Coella cupped his face, while the others chastised Vegetto’s efforts. “…Zamasu?” Spina overheard Avalon mentioning that name as his anger cooled, confused about why that had any significance to what’s going on now. Until it dawned on him after Victor explicitly stated about having a way to squashed brainwashing.
“Oh, this is hilarious.” Brutality wasted no time to capitalize this bombshell. “They believe that you’ve been brainwashed! It makes sense why they were careful approaching you initially. They cannot accept that you’re doing this out of your own free will. To them, it’s a textbook definition of mind control because why else you’re acting this way, right?”
Spina’s view of the Breakers completely changed dramatically. From his perspective, they morphed into distorted, monstrous versions of themselves. Their squabbles between each other shifted to them pointing at Spina in a mocking manner. Once again, his anger became overwhelming and a notable change in his body was on the verge of starting.
“The moment you exercise your agency and autonomy, you’ll get a brutal reminder of your place. Any decision you made for yourself… its not actually your choice. It was made by someone else, of course! See, you’re just so weak and stupid that you fell for the mind trick, brainwashing, or heck, even body snatching. Denying your agency… no, your existence once again.” Brutality laughed. “Vegetto cannot accept that you aren’t licking his feet, so you had to be manipulated by someone and only he knows how to solve it. Look how he managed to get everyone to believe it! He even managed to get Bernkastel, your precious rival… even she believes, subconsciously, that you are being controlled by some external forces.” He smiles. “And she has Clear Mind! She should be able to see that this is a farce… but she’s too much of a novice to do so.” Brutality floated around Spina, cackling at the events that transpired before him. “They don’t believe in you… What will you do?”
Spina arched over as his muscles began to expand in response to his rage. The denial of his existence was put on full display. As the monstrous versions of the Breaker became gigantic and surrounded the older Saiyan, it was a matter of time before the inevitable explosion—and his body would change. This was a moment when the Dark Energy that was slowly growing since the Red King battle had truly been replenished.
Then he laughed. An actual, genuine laughter. He laughed for a full minute to the point that there were tears in his eyes. The monstrous versions of how he saw them shattered, and everything returned to normal. Brutality narrowed his many eyes in both amazement and shock. “He… managed to break through the first pillar…!”
Vortex-Man’s eyes widened when Spina didn’t do anything. Despite the tremendous intention of murder clearly flowing around him, it vanished in an instant. “…He’s laughing?”
“Phew…” Spina wiped away the tears after letting out such a hearty laugh. His seethe rage just disappeared, and he lowered his arm. “That’s what’s cooking in that pathetic little noggin’ that got these punks all fired up? Hmph.” Moving away from Coella’s hands, the older Saiyan answered her question bluntly. “Let me be clear. Screw your so-called help. Leave me out of it. Forever.” The white pupil in his blacked eye increased just slightly. However, he glanced at Bernkastel, indicating that she was an exception to his statement.
Spina approached Vegetto once more. From the Potara fusion’s perspective, for a moment, Spina appeared monstrous that towered over him with a gleeful smile. “You’re not even worth it; brainwashed or not.” He continued. “Even as a weak-minded slave,” he took Vegetto’s words, “You’ll always be beneath me.” Spina walked past the Potara fusion and the others towards the restaurant, leaving them to duke it out whether verbally or physically without him being present.
