A violent and ferocious Great Ape more than a hundred feet tall stood upon the Earth.
The visual impact it created was overwhelming, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
Its enormous mouth was filled with bloodthirsty fangs.
Its giant teeth glinted with a chilling coldness.
As its crimson eyes opened and closed, a savage aura spread across the battlefield.
Just looking at that face was enough to make one’s scalp go numb.
“He…
he…
he turned into a Great Ape!” Yamcha stared at the gigantic monster in horror and began stuttering involuntarily.
“He transformed into a Great Ape.
Goku used to do the same thing when he was a kid.” Krillin muttered absentmindedly.
“The Saiyans’ technology is truly remarkable.
Even after I destroyed the moon, they still found a way to transform through an Artificial Moon.” Piccolo snorted coldly.
Although the situation exceeded his expectations, it was still nothing more than another battle.
Gohan awkwardly scratched his head.
Come to think of it, he was one of the reasons Earth’s moon had disappeared in the first place.
“His Qi increased many times over!” Tien Shinhan was stunned.
The overwhelming advantage granted by the Saiyan bloodline left him sighing inwardly.
“With Vegeta transforming into a Great Ape, can Goku still defeat him?” A trace of worry appeared on Tien Shinhan’s face.
One problem had barely been solved before another arose.
He had thought the Saiyans had exhausted all their trump cards and that Earth’s victory was already secured.
Instead, the enemy continued revealing one terrifying secret after another.
Chiaotzu could only watch nervously.
A battle at this level was already beyond their ability to participate.
The outcome of the duel between Son Goku and Vegeta would determine Earth’s future.
Destruction.
Or survival.
…
“Kakarot, once a Saiyan receives seventeen million zenos of Blutz Waves through their eyes, the power hidden within the tail awakens and allows them to transform into a Great Ape.” Vegeta laughed triumphantly.
He had already noticed that Kakarot no longer had a tail.
Feeling the endless power surging through his body, his confidence soared once again.
He casually threw a punch.
The wind exploded.
Thunder echoed.
An entire mountain ridge was instantly flattened.
“Do you see this, Kakarot?” “This will be your fate.” “My power level has surpassed one hundred and eighty thousand!” Vegeta’s voice was icy.
In his eyes, a single punch would be enough to crush this troublesome Lower Class Warrior.
“A tenfold increase in power level.
That’s pretty impressive.” Son Goku looked at the gigantic brown-furred Great Ape before him and smiled.
“You Lower Class Warriors lose your minds after transforming into Great Apes.
Is that why you cut off your tail?” Vegeta’s words sounded like a question, but his tone was full of certainty.
He shook his head mockingly.
“How foolish.” “You abandoned the source of a Saiyan’s power.” “Haha.” A trace of envy appeared in Son Goku’s smile.
After transforming into a Great Ape, Vegeta’s mind remained perfectly clear.
Among Saiyans, elite warriors with exceptional talent could retain their rationality through sheer willpower after transforming.
Most Lower Class Warriors would lose control completely and become mindless beasts driven only by destruction.
Thinking back to his previous life, Son Goku remembered transforming into a Golden Great Ape.
After losing his sanity, he had nearly destroyed everything around him.
If Pan had not called out to him through her tears, he would never have regained his senses so quickly and awakened Super Saiyan 4.
“Pan…” Son Goku missed his granddaughter.
Then another thought occurred to him.
He looked toward his tailbone.
There was nothing there.
His tail still had not regrown.
The power of his tail remained sealed because of the training methods used by Kami and Mr.
Popo long ago.
A Saiyan’s tail was essential for reaching Super Saiyan 4.
In his previous life, Old Kai had helped him restore it and unlock its power.
Remembering that experience made him shiver.
The giant pliers.
Old Kai’s wicked smile.
The unbearable pain.
Even now, it remained one of the most painful experiences of his life.
“This really is a problem.” Son Goku rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“After dealing with Vegeta and Nappa today, I should visit Kami’s Lookout and see if there’s a better way to restore my tail.” He had no desire to experience Old Kai’s method ever again.
That was practically torture.
Son Goku sighed deeply.
“Hahaha!” “A tenfold increase in power level!” Vegeta laughed wildly.
His giant crimson eyes stared down at Son Goku with pride and satisfaction.
“Kakarot, do you regret cutting off your tail now?” “You’re right, Vegeta.” Son Goku nodded seriously.
“I actually do regret it a little.” Vegeta froze.
He had only intended to mock Kakarot.
He never expected him to agree so honestly.
Seeing Kakarot admit it left Vegeta unexpectedly satisfied.
So even the person who had humiliated him had moments of regret.
A Lower Class Warrior would always be a Lower Class Warrior.
They could never understand the true foundation of Saiyan power.
Vegeta’s enormous eyes narrowed.
His killing intent spread throughout the wilderness.
“Kakarot.” “Are you finally desperate?” “Have you already planned your escape route?” Just as Vegeta prepared to crush Son Goku like an insect, Son Goku suddenly spoke.
“Is ten times really that much?” That was his only response.
Then he repeated it calmly.
“Is ten times really that much?” Vegeta’s expression stiffened immediately.
His giant eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“What do you mean?” The statement stunned everyone.
Even Nappa, who was lying seriously injured on the ground, raised his ears.
He wanted to know what kind of confidence allowed Kakarot to remain so calm.
Nappa endured the pain and thought to himself.
“Could his power level really be higher than one hundred and eighty thousand?” “If that’s true, wouldn’t he already be approaching Lord Frieza’s elite forces?” The mere thought of Frieza made Nappa shudder.
Vegeta’s thoughts followed a similar path.
He snorted coldly.
“Kakarot.” “Are you saying your power level is still higher than mine?” Son Goku nodded.
His current base power level had already exceeded ten million.
Even after transforming into a Great Ape, Vegeta was nowhere near his level.
“Stop bluffing.” Vegeta sneered.
Son Goku ignored the ridicule and changed the subject.
“Vegeta.” “I know you’ve been searching for the legend of the Super Saiyan.” “I know how to become a Super Saiyan.” His voice remained calm.
He raised five fingers.
“Fifty times.” “A fiftyfold transformation.” “Super Saiyan.” Vegeta’s pupils contracted violently.
“I am the Super Saiyan.” “Son Goku.” Son Goku pointed at himself with his thumb and smiled confidently.
Nappa was completely dumbfounded.
Krillin, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Gohan all exchanged confused looks.
None of them knew what Son Goku was talking about.
“What exactly is a Super Saiyan?” Krillin quietly asked Gohan.
“I don’t know.” Gohan looked equally confused.
“Dad never told me.” “Super Saiyan…
a fiftyfold amplification.” A flash of shock appeared deep within Piccolo’s eyes.
“What an unbelievable transformation.” Tien Shinhan stood frozen.
Only now did he realize something.
The current Son Goku had not even revealed his full strength yet.
He could still transform into a Super Saiyan.
And once transformed, his power would increase fiftyfold.
