《Dragon Ball GT: A Second GT》


 Chapter 1: Reborn Fourteen Years Ago!

    In the infinite expanse of a lightless void, a solitary, luminous consciousness drifted aimlessly. This consciousness was none other than Goku himself¡ªGT Goku, to be precise.


    In his timeline, an unimaginable cataclysm had unfolded: the Shadow Dragon saga. During his battle against the most formidable of these dragons, Super Yi Xing Long, he was consumed by a Negative Energy Sphere and found himself transported to this desolate realm.


    "This isn''t the Otherworld... where am I?" Goku wondered, perplexed. Surely, upon death, he should have been guided to the afterlife.


    Suddenly, a faint voice echoed through the darkness, barely audible.


    "Goku... Goku..." The bizarre voice reverberated, calling out his name.


    "Who''s there?" Hearing his name, Goku followed the sound, venturing deeper into the abyss.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, a pinprick of light pierced the darkness. Goku approached it and instinctively reached out.


    As his hand drew near, the light intensified, engulfing him in its radiant glow.


    ...


    Age 776.


    The Otherworld.


    King Kai''s planet.


    The Goku of this era had arrived on King Kai''s planet as usual, seeking to further his training. But as soon as their session began, the young Saiyan abruptly blacked out and collapsed.


    King Kai watched in astonishment as Goku fell unconscious. He initially dismissed it as a prank, but after scanning Goku''s body and discovering that even his heart had stopped, King Kai''s expression turned grim.


    "Hey! Goku, don''t scare me like that!" King Kai realized something was terribly amiss.


    Just as he prepared to resuscitate Goku, his scan detected a faint heartbeat resuming, accompanied by minute tremors in the Saiyan''s body.


    Slowly, Goku''s eyes fluttered open, his gaze sweeping the surroundings with a bewildered expression.


    It was Goku, yet not Goku. To be precise, it was Goku from the GT timeline.


    King Kai, King Kai''s planet... Wait! King Kai''s planet?!


    Wasn''t I obliterated by Yi Xing Long''s Negative Energy Sphere and cast into a lightless dimension?


    Then, he was suddenly enveloped in a white light... and now this.


    The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    "Whew! Goku, you scared me half to death! We were supposed to be training, but you just keeled over! I thought you were a goner!" King Kai exclaimed, wiping sweat from his brow.


    Goku had genuinely frightened him.


    While the difference between his pupil being alive or dead was merely the addition of a halo, he was ultimately relieved to see him breathing.


    "King Kai? And... my body... it''s restored?" GT Goku murmured, bewildered.


    Suddenly, a torrent of memories flooded his mind, triggering a splitting headache that left him pale and drenched in sweat.


    After a long moment, Goku''s expression shifted from bewilderment to comprehension.


    He had gleaned the memories of this world''s Goku, understanding the situation.


    He had traveled back in time to fourteen years in the past!


    This was the world two years after the defeat of Majin Buu.


    "Goku, are you alright?" King Kai asked, concern etched on his face.


    "I''m fine, King Kai," Goku replied, rising to his feet and rubbing his aching temples, trying to process the fragmented memories.


    "Good, because you really gave me a fright. I thought you were dead for a moment there."


    "Perhaps we should call off training for today. You don''t seem to be in the right state of mind."


    King Kai advised Goku with genuine concern.


    Little did he know that the Goku before him was no longer the one he knew.


    "Alright," Goku agreed without hesitation.


    King Kai was taken aback by his ready compliance. What was with Goku today?


    Normally, no matter how much he tried to reason with him, Goku would stubbornly insist on training. But today, he was surprisingly agreeable, leaving King Kai feeling slightly unnerved.


    He dismissed it as a lesson learned from the near-death experience, hoping that it had brought Goku to his senses.


    ...


    Several minutes passed.


    Goku accepted the reality of his time-travel to fourteen years in the past.


    I don''t know why I was given this opportunity, but I refuse to repeat the mistakes of the past!Goku vowed silently.


    He would prevent the tragedy that befell his timeline, no matter what it took.


    Even if Super Yi Xing Long were to reappear, he would obliterate him with his own power.


    Unbeknownst to Goku, the world he had been reborn into was not a direct continuation of his original past, but rather a parallel timeline¡ªa world diverging significantly from the GT universe.


    Even if the Shadow Dragons were to emerge, they would be insignificant in this reality.


    Regaining his focus, Goku stepped onto an open patch of ground.


    With a thought, he unleashed his latent power.


    A torrent of golden energy erupted from his body, akin to a surging river.


    Crackle!


    Accompanied by bursts of golden lightning, Goku transformed in an instant, progressing from his base form to Super Saiyan Full Power.


    Then, stimulated by the massive S-Cells, his form evolved again.


    He ascended from Super Saiyan Full Power to Super Saiyan 2 at its peak, finally culminating in Super Saiyan 3 at its maximum potential.


    Due to his mastery over transformations, even transforming directly into Super Saiyan 3 didn''t cause excessive energy drain.


    However, due to the absence of his tail, he wouldn''t be able to maintain Super Saiyan 3 for long, as his energy would continually deplete.


    "Is this all the power I have right now?" Feeling the surging energy within him, Goku frowned and murmured to himself.


    Frankly, he was rather weak.


    His current power level was less than a tenth of his previous base form.


    King Kai noticed Goku''s change in demeanor.


    He couldn''t help but feel that Goku had been acting strange ever since regaining consciousness.


    "Say, Goku, you seem troubled. What''s on your mind?" King Kai asked, unable to contain his curiosity.


    Hearing this, Goku shook off his thoughts, turned towards King Kai, and asked with a smile, "Actually, King Kai, I think I''ve discovered a method for breaking through my limits. If I can pull it off, I might be able to surpass Super Saiyan 3."

 Chapter 2: I Will Change Destiny!

    Intrigued, King Kai wondered if Goku''s sudden fainting spell had sparked some kind of breakthrough.


    "Tell me about this method. Perhaps I can be of assistance," King Kai offered.


    "Well, King Kai, I think I''ve identified the source of the Super Saiyan 3''s energy leakage. It may be because I''m not... complete, which prevents the form from ever reaching its true potential," Goku blurted out, voicing his thoughts.


    King Kai was perplexed. "Not complete? Goku, what part of you is missing?"


    Goku simply glanced towards his rear.


    "Your tail?" King Kai realized what Goku was referring to.


    The tail¡ªonce a symbol of the Saiyan race''s true power.


    "Precisely. My tail was removed by Kami using some special technique, and it''s never grown back. If I could regrow my tail, I have a feeling I could take things to the next level," Goku emphasized.


    Ever since mastering Super Saiyan, he had deemed his tail an unnecessary appendage, even a hindrance in battle.


    Years of suppressing the area where his tail once grew, combined with the accumulation of time, had filled the void with flesh. Regrowing it wouldn''t be an easy feat.


    It wasn''t until Old Kai forcibly removed his tail that he realized how crucial it was to a Saiyan.


    After listening to Goku''s explanation, King Kai pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.


    "There''s a saying among you Saiyans: when the full moon rises, it''s when you reveal your true power."


    "Based on your explanation, it seems that the tail has always been an essential part of your Saiyan heritage."


    "However, it''s been many years, and your tail hasn''t grown back. It''s unlikely it ever will."


    "Let me consider what could be done to help you regrow it. There must be individuals in the universe with such abilities."


    Naturally, King Kai wouldn''t refuse the opportunity to help Goku reach new heights.


    After all, Goku was his student, and the stronger he became, the better. His strength allowed King Kai to boast with confidence in front of the other Kais.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "No need for you to trouble yourself with that, King Kai. I just need to borrow the Dragon Balls," Goku said, setting his sights on the wish-granting orbs.


    "The Dragon Balls? Isn''t that a bit much for something so trivial?" King Kai asked, puzzled.


    Regrowing a tail seemed like a minor matter. With a little effort, he could easily find someone with the ability to make it happen.


    "If it were just about regrowing my tail, I wouldn''t even consider using the Dragon Balls. But after all these years, isn''t it time you were brought back to life?"


    "I always felt a pang of guilt because I dragged you into that mess with Cell," Goku said sheepishly, looking at the halo above King Kai''s head.


    He had no other place to take the self-destructing Cell except for King Kai''s planet.


    King Kai was still dead, and should another crisis occur, he didn''t want to inadvertently kill him for good by bringing more self-destructing villains to his planet.


    "Goku... you..." King Kai was touched by Goku''s words.


    After all these years, he had assumed Goku had forgotten about his death.


    Turns out, his student still cared.


    Thank goodness he can''t read minds, or he''d be cursing me for thinking that!


    "Well then, King Kai, I''ll be heading back to Earth." Without further ado, Goku waved goodbye to King Kai, locked onto Bulma''s ki signature, and teleported away from King Kai''s planet.


    ...


    Earth.


    Since Majin Buu''s defeat two years prior, Earth had enjoyed an era of unprecedented peace.


    Mr. Satan was hailed as the world''s hero, humanity''s memories were erased by Shenron, and Fat Buu had integrated into human society.


    The other Z fighters had returned to their lives.


    Krillin, striving to make a living, became a police officer, maintaining law and order in West City.


    Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu founded a dojo, becoming martial arts masters and teaching their skills to ordinary people.


    Gohan dedicated himself to his studies, growing closer to Videl. The two were deeply in love and had begun discussing marriage.


    Due to the world''s newfound peace, Gohan abandoned his training, allowing his skills to deteriorate, steadily becoming Gohan the scholar.


    Meanwhile, Piccolo remained on Kami''s Lookout, continuing his training. Although he recognized the gap between himself and the Saiyans, he never stopped pursuing his own limits.


    As for Vegeta, ever since Goku defeated Majin Buu, he had acknowledged Goku''s strength. However, he refused to settle for being number two.


    As the proud Saiyan Prince, he vowed to dedicate every moment to training, striving to catch up to Goku and ultimately surpass him.


    Located several miles from Capsule Corporation was a luxurious estate.


    This was Bulma''s private sanctuary, her personal resort.


    She spent her leisurely days on the estate.


    Vegeta''s gravity training room was also located here, where he was currently pushing himself to his limits.


    Bulma, on the other hand, lay on a sun lounger, sipping a blue cocktail and relaxing.


    Just then...


    A sudden whooshing sound broke the tranquility.


    Goku teleported in front of Bulma.


    "Hey, Bulma!" Goku greeted her cheerfully.


    "Goku?!" Bulma was surprised by his sudden appearance.


    She knew Goku didn''t usually seek her out unless he needed something or required her help.


    "It''s been a while, hasn''t it, Goku? What brings you here?" Bulma asked, rising from her sun lounger, removing her sunglasses, and looking at him inquisitively.


    "I need to borrow the Dragon Radar. I have some things I need Shenron''s help with," Goku replied, getting straight to the point.

 Chapter 3: Meeting Vegeta and Summoning Shenron

    "I see, you want to borrow the Dragon Radar to find the Dragon Balls."


    "Actually, you don''t need to bother. I''ve already gathered them a few days ago," Bulma said with a smile, revealing that she had collected the Dragon Balls.


    Goku widened his eyes in surprise. He hadn''t expected Bulma to have already assembled them.


    He now understood why the Shadow Dragons would eventually emerge from the Dragon Balls over a decade from now.


    Bulma was using them every few years, causing negative energy to accumulate within them. It was no wonder the Shadow Dragons were born.


    Bulma bore a significant responsibility for their creation.


    However, that was a story for another time. In this world, the Shadow Dragons hadn''t been born yet.


    "Then I''ll need to ask you for a favor, Bulma. I need Shenron''s help with a couple of things, so I''ll be using two wishes," Goku requested politely.


    After all, Bulma had gathered the Dragon Balls, and he was immediately using two of her wishes.


    Bulma was pleasantly surprised by Goku''s polite request. He seemed different today.


    Usually, he was simple and blunt, not as courteous as he was now.


    "Don''t worry about it. The Dragon Balls can grant three wishes now. I only need one. Wait here; I''ll go get them." With that, Bulma turned and left.


    ...


    In Vegeta''s gravity training room, an intense red light permeated the room, and the display on the central control panel read a terrifying 1500G.


    This meant the gravity in the training room was 1,500 times that of Earth''s!


    Despite the immense gravity, Vegeta moved with remarkable agility, seemingly unaffected by the crushing pressure.


    Clearly, he was accustomed to the 1,500G environment, and his body had been honed to an extraordinary degree.


    "1,500 times gravity is no longer effective enough for me in my base form. It''s time to try higher levels." Vegeta paused, his gaze shifting to the gravity control panel.


    He was about to increase the gravity even further when he sensed Goku''s ki, causing him to halt.


    "Kakarot''s ki? What''s he doing here?" Vegeta wondered, intrigued by Goku''s sudden arrival.


    If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    They hadn''t seen each other in a long time since their battle against Majin Buu. They had been focusing on their individual training.


    Vegeta became curious about the reason for Goku''s visit.


    Approaching the control panel, Vegeta pressed the gravity shutoff button.


    As the gravity deactivated, the oppressive pressure vanished, and Vegeta felt a wave of relief.


    Opening the door to the training room, Vegeta stepped outside.


    ...


    After seeing Bulma leave, Goku waited patiently for her return.


    Once I''ve made these wishes, I''ll try to avoid using the Dragon Balls unless it''s absolutely necessary.


    The Shadow Dragons were ultimately born because of us.


    Goku thought to himself, recalling the appearance and power of Super Yi Xing Long.


    Even Super Saiyan 4 had been defeated, and he had lost his life in the process.


    Of course, if he had been given more time to master Super Saiyan 4, he was confident he wouldn''t have lost to Super Yi Xing Long.


    Those were merely futile regrets. That Goku was dead. He had been reborn into a past that he was determined to change.


    As Goku''s thoughts wandered, he sensed Vegeta''s ki approaching.


    Following the direction of the ki, Goku instinctively turned around, only to see Vegeta standing about ten meters away.


    "Vegeta," Goku greeted his friend and rival with a smile.


    Vegeta had stood by him until the very end of that final battle.


    He regretted that after merging with Vegeta to become Gogeta, he had toyed with Yi Xing Long instead of simply finishing him off.


    "It''s been a while, Kakarot," Vegeta responded, his expression as stern as ever.


    His eyes scanned Goku, and his keen perception immediately detected something different.


    Both the dimensions of his muscles and the way he controlled his ki had improved significantly, creating an intangible sense of depth.


    "Looks like you''ve been training hard, Kakarot," Vegeta said, his expression unchanged, but his mind grew increasingly serious.


    If Goku kept improving at this rate, he would need to intensify his own training to catch up.


    At the very least, he needed to take the next step and master Super Saiyan 3.


    He had been stuck at Super Saiyan 2 for many years.


    "You''re not so bad yourself, Vegeta. Seems like you''ve been training harder than me," Goku replied, returning Vegeta''s gaze.


    If he was correct, Vegeta was on the verge of reaching Super Saiyan 3, but something was preventing him from breaking through.


    Although he had mastered Super Saiyan 3, he wouldn''t tell Vegeta how to achieve it.


    They were both friends and rivals, and telling Vegeta how to reach Super Saiyan 3 would be an insult.


    "Hmph!" Vegeta scoffed, locking eyes with Goku.


    Goku returned the stare without backing down, their auras clashing.


    Vegeta unleashed a wave of ki, attempting to overwhelm Goku, but Goku effortlessly dissipated it.


    The clash of their auras created a tense atmosphere, as if they were about to engage in battle.


    "Goku, Vegeta, what are you two up to now?" Bulma said, walking over with the seven Dragon Balls.


    Seeing the tension between the two Saiyans, Bulma couldn''t help but feel apprehensive. If they started fighting here, not only would her estate be destroyed, but West City could be reduced to ashes.


    Seeing Bulma approach, Goku and Vegeta promptly withdrew their auras.


    Vegeta''s attention shifted to the Dragon Balls.


    He understood Goku''s purpose for coming here¡ªthe Dragon Balls.


    However, Vegeta wasn''t particularly concerned. He sought power through training and had no interest in Shenron''s wish-granting abilities.


    He was simply curious as to why Goku had suddenly decided to use the Dragon Balls.


    With the auras dispelled, Bulma placed the seven Dragon Balls on the ground and began the ritual to summon Shenron.


    As she recited the incantation, the seven Dragon Balls resonated with one another, and an invisible, mysterious power spread outwards.

 Chapter 4: King Kais Resurrection and the Return of Tails!

    The sky within a hundred miles was shrouded in darkness. A moment later, a brilliant golden beam erupted from the seven Dragon Balls, shooting into the heavens.


    The light coalesced into the form of Shenron, towering before everyone. The immense Dragon Pressure it exuded created an atmosphere of profound gravity.


    "You who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state your wish. Whatever it may be, I shall grant you three," Shenron declared, uttering his classic opening line.


    Far away in the Otherworld on King Kai''s planet, King Kai was ecstatic.


    After all these years, the moment had finally arrived.


    Goku, meanwhile, gazed at Shenron soaring through the sky, lost in thought.


    In his world, the emergence of the Shadow Dragons was a direct result of their greed, their reckless and repeated use of the Dragon Balls.


    After these wishes were granted, he wouldn''t touch the Dragon Balls again unless it was absolutely necessary.


    "Shenron, my first wish is to revive King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory," Goku said, looking up at Shenron.


    "Is that your first wish? Very well." Shenron''s eyes glowed fiercely, and an unseen power was unleashed.


    The mystic energy spread rapidly at Shenron''s will, extending from this world into the afterlife, and finally reaching King Kai''s planet.


    On King Kai''s planet, the halos above King Kai, Gregory, and Bubbles vanished simultaneously.


    They were restored to life.


    "Finally... Finally, this day has come!" King Kai exclaimed, a look of relief on his face.


    For years, he had been mocked by his fellow deities for being a dead man. That would never happen again.


    Ever since being blown up by Cell, he had been the laughingstock of the Kais, who often joked about his death.


    Now that he was revived, he wouldn''t have to endure their taunts any longer.


    As a Kai, he could have contacted the Namekian Elder and used their Dragon Balls to wish himself back to life.


    However, he was too proud to do so.


    Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    King Kai''s pets, Bubbles and Gregory, were less concerned about being revived.


    As pets of a Kai, the only difference between being alive and dead was whether or not they had halos above their heads.


    ...


    Back on Earth, Shenron''s deep voice echoed, "Your first wish has been granted. State your second."


    "Shenron, my second wish is to have my tail grow back," Goku declared.


    This immediately caught Vegeta''s attention.


    Why would Kakarot wish for his tail to return? Vegeta wondered, his suspicious gaze fixed on Goku.


    The tail was certainly a powerful tool for Saiyans to enhance their strength. The Great Ape transformation could multiply their power tenfold, or even more.


    But ever since mastering Super Saiyan, the Great Ape transformation had become less important, even a hindrance in battle.


    He had abandoned his tail a long time ago.


    Now, the area where his tail used to be was filled with flesh, making it impossible for it to grow back.


    "That''s an easy wish." Shenron gestured an "OK" sign with his claw and his red eyes glowed again.


    With the release of the wish, Goku felt the restriction that Kami had placed on his tail had been removed. A brown and black tail burst through his belt, swaying playfully.


    "My tail is back," Goku said, glancing at his tail with a smile.


    With the return of his tail, he could clearly feel his energy increase. The part of him that had been missing was now restored, making him complete once more.


    Although his tail would increase his fighting power, the boost was minimal. The tail was more than just a power amplifier.


    With a thought, Goku wrapped his tail around his waist.


    "Your second wish has been granted. State your third wish." Shenron couldn''t wait to finish his shift.


    "Now that your wishes have been granted, Goku, it''s my turn," Bulma said, looking up at Shenron. "Shenron, my wish is..."


    "Bulma, let me have that third wish," Vegeta interrupted, cutting her off.


    Bulma turned to him in confusion. What did he want to wish for?


    "Give me that wish," Vegeta said firmly.


    "I gathered the Dragon Balls, Goku used two, and now you want one... Fine... You can have it," Bulma said, pouting unhappily.


    She was displeased, but Vegeta was her husband, after all.


    If she missed out this time, she would be the first to collect the Dragon Balls next year and make her wish then.


    Seeing Bulma give him the third wish, Vegeta''s expression didn''t soften.


    Folding his arms, Vegeta looked up at Shenron with his characteristic glare. "My wish is the same as Kakarot''s¡ªto have my tail grow back."


    "Is that your third wish? Very well." Shenron granted Vegeta''s wish immediately.


    Vegeta felt an itch in the area where his tail used to be, and soon a brown and black tail burst through his belt.


    "Your three wishes have been granted. Farewell," Shenron said, eager to leave.


    The massive Dragon disappeared, and the seven Dragon Balls rose into the air, scattering across the globe.


    The darkness that had engulfed the sky dissipated as well.


    As Shenron vanished, Vegeta grinned and turned to Goku.


    "Now I understand why you wished for your tail to return, Kakarot."


    "My power has noticeably increased now that my tail has grown back."


    "If you think it''s easy to surpass me, think again, Kakarot."


    Vegeta''s triumphant look seemed to say, "You can''t fool me with your little tricks."


    "I never intended to hide it from you, Vegeta," Goku said, smiling.


    "But you''re wrong about one thing. The tail is more than just a power booster." With that, Goku formed a sword-finger gesture on his forehead and said, "See you later, Vegeta, Bulma."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Goku used Instant Transmission once more and disappeared.

 Chapter 5: Attempting the Great Ape Transformation Once More!

    "Honestly, it''s always like this," Bulma grumbled, dissatisfied, staring at the spot where Goku had vanished.


    She had gathered the Dragon Balls, but not only did she miss out on the last wish, she didn''t even get a thank you from Goku.


    However, she was used to it. As a childhood friend, Bulma knew Goku better than anyone.


    Stretching languidly, Bulma turned and headed towards the resting area of her estate.


    Vegeta remained where he was, the last words Goku had spoken echoing in his mind.


    "The tail is more than just a power enhancer... it has other functions?" Vegeta murmured, pondering the meaning of his words.


    He felt that Goku was hinting at something.


    But soon, Vegeta cleared his mind of all doubts.


    He wanted to see how much his strength would increase after his tail grew back.


    With Vegeta''s deliberate guidance, the vast Super Saiyan energy pool within him was stimulated, unleashing a torrent of power.


    Golden ki surged like erupting lava, igniting his S-Cells, and dyeing his black, spiky hair gold.


    In an instant, Vegeta had transformed from his base state into a Super Saiyan 2.


    The power gained in his base form was amplified exponentially after transforming into a Super Saiyan.


    After stabilizing his Super Saiyan 2 transformation, Vegeta could clearly feel that his power had increased significantly.


    The bottleneck he had vaguely sensed during his training was now much more defined.


    "Hmm?! This feeling...!" Vegeta suddenly tensed, an unprecedented sensation welling up inside him.


    Was this... a sign of a breakthrough?!


    ...


    On King Kai''s planet, Goku teleported back through Instant Transmission.


    Before King Kai could ask, Goku directly explained his intention.


    He asked King Kai to help him find a planet that was about to have a full moon, or was currently in the midst of one.


    Hearing Goku''s request, King Kai immediately guessed what he was planning.


    Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    "Now I understand why you wished for your tail to grow back. It''s for the Great Ape transformation."


    "But Goku, you''re so strong now, and you''ve mastered Super Saiyan 3. The Great Ape transformation seems redundant, doesn''t it?"


    In King Kai''s eyes, Goku was wasting his time by going through the trouble of growing his tail back to transform into a Great Ape.


    The Super Saiyan transformation was far superior to the Great Ape form.


    "You''ll understand soon enough, King Kai," Goku replied, not elaborating, but flashing a meaningful smile.


    "Alright, then let me see if I can find a planet with a sparse population that is experiencing a full moon," King Kai said, seeing Goku''s confidence.


    Using his Kai powers, King Kai released his antennae, sending his thoughts across the entire North Galaxy, searching through countless planets one by one.


    Time passed, and ten minutes had gone by.


    King Kai was drenched in sweat from the mental strain.


    Finding a sparsely populated planet with a full moon in the vast North Galaxy was no easy task. It was a massive burden on his mental energy.


    If Goku weren''t his student, he would never have done this.


    Goku, for his part, remained patient and waited quietly.


    "I''ve found it! There are no humans on this planet, only some animals. And it''s about to be a full moon."


    "I''ll send you the planet''s location and coordinates. You can use Instant Transmission to get there."


    King Kai transmitted the planet''s coordinates and direction to Goku''s mind through his thoughts.


    "Thank you, King Kai." Goku smiled and raised his fingers to his forehead.


    Using the planet''s coordinates, he amplified his ki and locked onto the planet''s location.


    With a thought, Goku vanished from King Kai''s planet.


    ...


    On a small asteroid in the North Galaxy, within the Prawn Star Cluster, Goku arrived via Instant Transmission.


    The planet''s environment was similar to Earth''s, making it suitable for human life. It was currently night.


    The planet was silent, and all of its inhabitants were asleep.


    Goku stood on barren ground, a night wind blowing, chilling him to the bone. The moonlight bathed him in an ethereal glow.


    Upon arriving, Goku used his ki to scan the entire planet.


    As King Kai had said, there were no humans on this planet, only wild beasts with limited intelligence.


    The ki he had used as a conduit was right beneath his feet, specifically, beneath this piece of land.


    Goku looked up at the silent night sky, where a crescent moon hung.


    "The full moon... is it coming?" Goku stared at the silent night sky, and as he watched, the full moon appeared!


    As the Blutz Waves emitted by the full moon entered Goku''s eyes, he felt the blood in his body begin to boil, and his tail began to resonate due to the Blutz Waves.


    "Here it comes... this feeling!" Goku said, clenching his fists, enjoying the sensation of his blood surging through his body.


    The S-Cells in his body were stimulated by the Blutz Waves, causing them to stir. The blood in his body boiled, its temperature rising, becoming as hot as magma.


    Goku''s body underwent astonishing changes. His muscles swelled, and his powerful physique became increasingly menacing. The raging Saiyan blood within him threatened to burst his body.


    The Great Ape transformation was extremely painful. Goku grit his teeth and endured the agony of every cell in his body splitting and reorganizing.


    He had experienced this during his first Great Ape transformation, so he wasn''t worried.


    "So, this is the Great Ape transformation... I didn''t experience it fully when I was injured... I didn''t think it would be so painful to experience it again..."


    "Come on!! Great Ape... and then Super Saiyan 4!!"


    Goku roared, and the Saiyan blood in his body was completely ignited.


    Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Goku''s heartbeat grew increasingly intense, a terrifying drumming sound as his body underwent dramatic changes. His body began to expand at an alarming rate.


    A bloodthirsty, savage, and cruel will began to take over.


    "Awoooo!!" Goku roared, a primal sound more befitting a wild beast.

 Chapter 6: Super Saiyan Great Ape!

    The earth-shattering roar echoed far and wide.


    As the Saiyan blood within him was activated, the last barrier protecting Goku''s sanity seemed to shatter.


    An immense, bloodthirsty, and savage will surged, threatening to completely overwhelm Goku.


    ...


    On King Kai''s planet, King Kai witnessed Goku''s transformation, his expression grave and his heart pounding with anxiety.


    He knew that Goku was using a new method to break through the barrier that was holding him back. In this situation, even he, as a Kai, was powerless.


    Goku had to overcome this challenge on his own. No one could help him.


    Soon, under the influence of the Blutz Waves, Goku lost his human form and began to transform into a Great Ape.


    His body expanded to an unbelievable size, tearing his clothes to shreds, and thick black fur sprouted across his skin.


    The massive, savage form radiated an aura of untamed power that could destroy anything in its path. The immense pressure rippled the very fabric of space.


    A terrifying power erupted, and an ancient aura of boundless destruction swept across the planet, causing the entire celestial body to shake violently.


    "Awoooo!!!" Great Ape Goku roared, his body continuing to grow.


    10 meters... 30 meters... still growing!


    Finally, he reached a staggering height of over 60 meters, transforming into a colossal Great Ape that towered into the sky. With that, Goku''s Great Ape transformation stabilized.


    Goku''s eyes were filled with savage bloodlust.


    This wasn''t good.


    Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Countless deafening sounds echoed through space.


    Great Ape Goku began to beat his chest repeatedly.


    The savage aura swirling around him intensified, and with each strike to his chest, he generated spatial ripples.


    Driven by a savage instinct to destroy everything, Great Ape Goku opened his massive maw and began to gather destructive energy within his mouth.


    The next moment, a searing beam of energy erupted from Great Ape Goku''s mouth, blasting across the landscape. The devastating energy tore the ground apart, warped space, and incinerated everything in its path.


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    The small planet was almost shattered by this single, terrifying attack. Burning flames engulfed the landscape, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers.


    But it wasn''t over. Great Ape Goku continued to unleash his savage power as if he had completely lost his mind.


    The instinct to destroy had taken over his reason, forcing him to unleash his power, smashing anything he could see.


    Mountains, land ¨C anything that appeared in his sight was destroyed.


    This scene caused King Kai, who was watching from his planet, to tremble in fear.


    Great Ape Goku''s destructive power was immense.


    He could only imagine what would happen if this were to occur on Earth. The entire planet would be destroyed, and no one could stop it.


    Just as King Kai was wondering when Great Ape Goku would stop his rampage, the Great Ape suddenly stopped destroying things.


    This made King Kai''s body jolt with surprise.


    "Has Goku... gained control of the Great Ape''s body?" King Kai focused once more, watching with bated breath.


    On the small planet, the savage crimson glow in Great Ape Goku''s eyes had faded significantly, and human-like pupils could be faintly seen.


    "Although I''ve experienced it before, this Great Ape state is difficult to control. I almost destroyed this planet," Goku said, surprisingly using human language in his Great Ape form.


    This was proof that he had fully mastered the Great Ape form.


    With the experience he gained in his previous life, Goku quickly found a way to suppress the savage instincts within him.


    He began to carefully feel the immense power within his body.


    "Unbelievable. My power has increased to this extent in Great Ape form."


    "It''s not the tenfold increase Vegeta talked about. A regular Great Ape state is comparable to my Super Saiyan 3."


    Goku gained many insights this time he transformed into a Great Ape.


    In his past life, when he was cornered by Baby, who had possessed Vegeta''s body, he transformed into a Great Ape upon receiving Blutz Waves from Earth. He was completely berserk at that time and had no conscious control.


    If it weren''t for his granddaughter Pan''s call, he would have been a rampaging Great Ape forever.


    Now that he was sensing the power of the Great Ape form with his own consciousness, he understood why he could overpower Baby with Super Saiyan 4.


    The power possessed by the normal Great Ape form was already comparable to his Super Saiyan 3.


    Not to mention the Golden Great Ape form and the Super Saiyan 4 form.


    With a power increase of hundreds of times, if not more, there was no way Baby could have beaten him.


    "Now that I''ve mastered the Great Ape form, next up is the Golden Great Ape..." Great Ape Goku''s expression turned serious. Memories surged through his mind.


    Although he didn''t know how he had entered the Golden Great Ape state back then, he was certain that the Golden Great Ape transformation was related to Super Saiyan.


    If he completed the Super Saiyan transformation in the regular Great Ape state, perhaps he could transform directly into the Golden Great Ape!


    With this thought in mind, Great Ape Goku quickly activated the power within his body.


    In an instant, immense energy rapidly expanded, and a roaring aura became an unstoppable storm that reached the heavens.


    The boundless black ki surged, and after it reached its peak, Goku began to gather energy to activate the Super Saiyan energy pool within him.


    Guided by his will, Great Ape Goku''s power quickly converged towards his spine.


    The S-Cells within him were stimulated, and golden ki radiated outwards, gradually replacing the black ki around Great Ape Goku.


    "Awoooooooooaaaaaaaahhhh!!" With the rhythm of his S-Cells, Great Ape Goku unleashed an earth-shattering roar.


    In an instant, devastating pressure turned into a shockwave that swept across the surroundings.


    The overwhelming pressure was terrifying, even the world-threatening Majin Buu was nothing but an ant compared to this ancient power.

 Chapter 7: A Cross-Dimensional Ki, Super Saiyan 4 Achieved!

    The planet was showing signs of imminent collapse from the impact of this overwhelming power.


    As the S-Cells within him activated, Great Ape Goku was almost consumed by the exponentially increasing power.


    The black ki around Great Ape Goku was completely replaced by golden ki, his form altered, and his power, speed, and physical characteristics changed at an accelerated rate.


    His black fur transformed into gold, and his already gigantic body, large enough to blot out the sky, doubled in size, transforming from a one-thousand-meter-tall Great Ape into a two-thousand-meter-tall Golden Great Ape.


    Golden Great Ape transformation, successful!


    "It''s done!" Golden Great Ape Goku exclaimed, carefully feeling the violent power coursing through his body.


    The sensation of explosive power was indescribably wonderful, making every cell in his body feel euphoric.


    However, Golden Great Ape Goku quickly regained his composure and prepared for the next breakthrough.


    "Next is Super Saiyan 4!" Golden Great Ape Goku clenched his fists, preparing for the final transformation.


    Having experienced the transformation from Golden Great Ape to Super Saiyan 4 once before, this final stage was not difficult for Goku.


    Holding his breath and focusing his mind, Golden Great Ape Goku released all the energy within his body.


    The golden aura around him transformed from an intangible state into a tangible one, forming a hurricane that swirled around him.


    The Great Ape''s immense power was being compressed and transformed into an even higher state.


    Power compressed, bottleneck broken.


    Potential unleashed, combat power elevated!


    Blue and white electricity crackled, surrounding Golden Great Ape Goku.


    "Awoooo!" A roar from an ancient ape swept across the planet.


    An unimaginable energy erupted, reaching levels of destruction.


    The golden aura that could destroy everything expanded, and a blinding golden light shot up into the heavens, reaching into the cosmos.


    Moreover, the explosively increased energy even crossed dimensional barriers, reaching higher-level dimensions.


    Had Goku not deliberately suppressed the burst of power, the planet beneath his feet would have shattered, becoming a collection of space debris.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    Within the golden storms, Golden Great Ape Goku''s body was shrinking, and the surrounding energy storms were also becoming smaller, rapidly receding, eventually returning completely to his body.


    At the same time, the appearance of the Golden Great Ape was changing at a visible rate.


    ...


    Unbeknownst to him, three minutes had passed.


    The devastating energy surges that had accompanied Goku''s transformation had completely dissipated.


    The tumultuous planet had found its long-awaited calm.


    The figure of the Golden Great Ape had disappeared, leaving only a thick cloud of smoke.


    Within the smoke, a robust figure appeared.


    As the smoke cleared, a wild-looking, red-furred ape-man emerged.


    He had long black hair that reached his waist, a body covered in crimson fur, and golden eyes. Perfect lines coursed across his muscular frame. His powerful body radiated raw power!


    This was Super Saiyan 4, which had surpassed Super Saiyan 3!


    By activating the power of his Saiyan blood, Goku had once again mastered the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.


    Feeling the power within his body, capable of destroying galaxies with a gesture, Goku''s lips curved into a mischievous grin.


    In the Super Saiyan 4 form, every action was charged with explosive power.


    This was the true power of a Saiyan!


    "Super Saiyan 4, I''ve achieved it again..." After stabilizing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, Goku calmly retracted his energy, carefully feeling the immense power of Super Saiyan 4.


    The blood in his body churned, and every cell in his body provided him with a constant supply of power.


    His speed, power, reaction time, and defense were all significantly improved, and his energy consumption was greatly reduced. Super Saiyan 4 was truly an all-around perfect form.


    Goku was itching for a fight and craved a battle against a powerful opponent.


    Unfortunately, in this era, as a Super Saiyan 4, he was virtually invincible, worthy of being called the strongest in the universe.


    However, Goku didn''t realize that his Super Saiyan 4 was powerful, but it was still far from the strongest in the universe.


    This world was different from his previous one. Compared to the ancient beings who had lived for countless years, Super Saiyan 4 was nothing more than an ant.


    ...


    On King Kai''s planet, King Kai, who had witnessed Goku''s transformation, was dumbfounded.


    "What... what is this transformation?" King Kai stammered.


    The Super Saiyan 4 transformation was too shocking, both in appearance and power. It was completely different from Super Saiyan 1, 2, and 3.


    If Super Saiyan 3 was a cold and merciless warrior, Super Saiyan 4 was a demon with wickedness in his eyes!


    Majin Buu, who had wreaked havoc throughout the universe, was nothing but an ant compared to the current Super Saiyan 4 Goku.


    After the initial shock, King Kai quietly celebrated in his heart.


    Goku was his disciple, his prized student!


    ...


    In the realm of the Supreme Kais, the incredible ki that Goku emitted while transforming into Super Saiyan 4 crossed dimensions and reached the realm of the Supreme Kais.


    The Old Kai and Kibito Kai simultaneously sensed Goku''s explosive power and were visibly surprised.


    "Is that Goku''s ki? In just two years, his power has increased to this extent." The Old Kai stroked his beard, a flicker of seriousness in his eyes.


    As the Supreme Kai of fifteen generations ago, he possessed great insight and experience, and he had seen many strong warriors in the universe. But today, the energy that Goku had unleashed had slightly altered his perspective.


    In this era, with the Gods of Destruction absent, this power was worthy of the title of "the strongest in the universe."


    "Such immense energy, many times stronger than Majin Buu... Could it be that Goku has made another breakthrough?" Kibito Kai wondered.


    He was curious about what changes had occurred in Goku or whether he had achieved another transformation.


    Kibito Kai and the Old Kai looked at each other, reaching a consensus. The Old Kai moved his mind and retrieved a crystal ball from thin air.


    As the Old Kai chanted, the crystal ball was activated, displaying Goku''s current state in real-time.

 Chapter 8: Divine Surprise, Angelic Observation!

    The strong, robust, red-furred ape-man form exuded immense energy. Even through the crystal ball, they could feel the powerful aura emanating from Super Saiyan 4 Goku.


    "What... what is this?!"


    "Could this be Super Saiyan as well?!"


    Kibito Kai stared blankly at Goku in the Super Saiyan 4 form. He was no longer human.


    At that moment, Goku in the crystal ball seemed to notice their gaze, and he glanced up to meet their eyes.


    This mere eye contact placed enormous pressure on Kibito Kai, instilling fear deep in his soul.


    "It is indeed Super Saiyan. I didn''t expect him to go this far..." The Old Kai mumbled to himself, his face showing a hint of grave contemplation. He thought to himself: {The Saiyans'' ancient form... I never thought I''d see it resurrected in Goku.}


    As the Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago, his perspective was far broader than the current Supreme Kai.


    But seeing Goku reach this point, he didn''t know whether to be wary or pleased.


    The appearance of an ancient power in this era, was it a good thing or a bad thing?


    ...


    In a higher-level dimension, a towering temple stood at the center, its scale even grander than the Realm of the Supreme Kais.


    This was the Realm of the Gods of Destruction.


    The supreme deities of the universe, the God of Destruction Beerus, and the beings who transcended the realm of life, the Angels, resided here.


    Since Beerus had entered his slumber, the Angel Whis had been overseeing the Realm of the Gods of Destruction.


    As an Angel, his lifespan was endless. He had witnessed countless cycles, and time was just a number to him.


    With nothing to do, Whis was eating sweets and observing the universe through his staff to pass the time.


    Buzz buzz! Suddenly, the black magic ball on top of Whis''s staff received a signal, flashing emerald green.


    "Oh?" Whis said, surprised.


    Generally, signals received by the staff were major events occurring in the universe.


    For example, the birth of a powerful warrior in the lower realm.


    Curious, Whis opened the information received by the staff.


    Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    A projection of Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the small planet appeared on the black magic ball.


    "He''s the Saiyan who defeated Frieza?!" Whis said, surprised, after identifying the red-haired ape.


    He never imagined that this person would grow to this extent in just a few years. This power was among the strongest in the entire universe.


    However, the surprise on Whis''s face quickly turned to a thoughtful expression.


    "This world... has been altered." Whis said seriously.


    As an Angel, his existence had transcended this world.


    He knew the past, discerned the future, and was omnipotent.


    According to the world''s original trajectory, Goku should have remained at Super Saiyan 3 in the coming years and should not have reached this form.


    In fact, this form shouldn''t even exist in this world.


    However, Goku''s further evolution had raised the universe''s overall standards.


    In a way, this was a good thing.


    "Hmph? Has he become so powerful?" Whis said with surprise.


    Goku in the projection was intentionally looking in his direction.


    This made Whis glance at the God of Destruction''s palace.


    This era had changed. Perhaps Beerus would awaken in the future and find someone who could make him enjoy himself.


    ...


    Lower Realm.


    On the small planet, Super Saiyan 4 Goku stood in place, his sharp gaze sweeping across the vast darkness of the night sky.


    After completing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, his life force had been elevated, and his power, speed, senses, and defenses had all been enhanced.


    He faintly sensed a unique presence watching him from somewhere.


    "This feeling... Is it King Kai or the Old Kai? No... it''s not them..."


    "But if it''s not them, then who is it?"


    Super Saiyan 4 Goku became serious.


    He felt that the world he had been reborn into was different from his previous one.


    Was it just his imagination?


    With mixed emotions, Goku pondered for a moment and then withdrew his thoughts, casting aside all the extraneous thoughts in his mind.


    He proactively deactivated the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.


    "After completing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, my power has increased once again..." Goku clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his blood and was very satisfied.


    Now, every cell in his body felt activated and filled with immense energy.


    The gap in his combat power between his normal state and before transforming into Super Saiyan 4 had almost doubled.


    With his goal achieved, it was time to leave.


    He put his right hand in a sword-finger position to his forehead and expanded his senses to locate the energy on Earth. With a thought, he returned to Earth.


    ...


    Earth.


    Mount Paozu.


    Chi-Chi was filled with anger.


    Goku had disappeared halfway through his work again. Without thinking, he had run off to train with King Kai.


    The family expenses were already very high, and they couldn''t even afford to eat if they didn''t work hard. Now, Goku was skipping work from time to time, which made Chi-Chi even angrier.


    Gohan and Goten stood aside, watching Chi-Chi, who was exuding a terrifying aura, and didn''t dare to interrupt. They had given up the idea of speaking up for Goku.


    In this situation, they could only silently pray for Goku and hope that he could get through this ordeal.


    It was at this moment that Goku, who had just completed his breakthrough, teleported back to Earth and appeared right next to Chi-Chi.


    "Chi-Chi, I''m back." Goku greeted Chi-Chi reflexively, but when Chi-Chi turned around, Goku felt something was wrong. The hairs on his body stood on end, and cold sweat involuntarily dripped down his face.


    "You! Dare! To! Come! Back!" Chi-Chi said heavily, word by word.


    Hearing this, Goku swallowed involuntarily and felt a sense of foreboding.


    He suddenly remembered that he had quietly left Earth in this world to train on King Kai''s planet.


    He was finished. Judging by this, he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to escape.


    "Um... Chi-Chi... listen to me... I can explain..." Goku wanted to defend himself, but the look in Chi-Chi''s eyes made him immediately shut his mouth.


    At this time, explaining would only make things worse.

 Chapter 9: Gohans Promise!

    After a five-minute scolding, and because Goku displayed a sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, Chi-Chi''s anger subsided, and she ordered Goku to immediately finish the work he hadn''t completed today.


    Goku didn''t dare to argue and did as Chi-Chi told him.


    If he were to say no at this moment, he could forget about dinner tonight.


    Soon, Goku put on his work clothes, started the tiller, and began to finish his work.


    But the speed of the tiller was unbearably slow.


    "It would be nice if it were faster." As he drifted off in thought, Goku''s gaze shifted to Gohan, who was watching from a distance.


    He thought of a faster way to till the land.


    He stopped the tiller, and Goku leaped and landed precisely in front of Gohan.


    "Dad?" Gohan blinked in confusion, his mind full of questions.


    "I thought of a good way to till the land, but I need your help, Gohan," Goku said.


    Hearing this, Gohan was puzzled, but since it was Goku''s request, he would naturally not refuse.


    "Okay, Dad," Gohan said subconsciously.


    Goku smiled.


    ...


    Soon, the two arrived at an open area.


    The ground under their feet and as far as the eye could see was land that needed to be cultivated.


    Tilling the land with a tiller would take forever, but if they used their power, it would only take a few minutes.


    "Dad, are you sure you want to till the land this way?" Gohan asked hesitantly.


    Although this method was feasible, the control of power had to be precise, neither too much nor too little.


    Especially for powerful warriors like them.


    If they were not careful, the entire mountain would be blasted to pieces.


    "But isn''t this the fastest and most effective way? Besides, it''ll let me feel your power again, Gohan." Goku got into a fighting stance, but this made Gohan feel troubled.


    Since defeating Majin Buu two years ago, he hadn''t trained at all, devoting all his energy to his academic research.


    His strength had declined steadily and was much weaker than it was two years ago.


    Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    "Alright!" After a brief hesitation, Gohan made his decision.


    It had been a long time since he had fought, and he would use this as an opportunity to test his current limits.


    "Haaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" Gohan raised his power to the maximum, and the energy within his body poured out like a flood.


    The powerful aura caused most of Mount Paozu to tremble.


    The off-white aura emanating from Gohan sublimated, and blue and white lightning crackled around him.


    His form also sublimated from his normal state into his Mystic state.


    Although it was his Mystic state, his power had decreased significantly compared to when he fought Super Buu two years ago.


    Due to long-term neglect of training, Gohan''s body could no longer withstand one hundred percent of his Mystic state''s power. Now, although he could transform, he could only exert about half of his original strength.


    "I''m coming, Dad." Gohan got into a fighting stance, a glint of determination in his eyes.


    "Come on, Gohan." Goku smiled casually, planning to fight in his base form.


    Gohan saw this, but even though Goku hadn''t transformed, he didn''t dare to underestimate him.


    "Take this!! Dad!!" With a roar, Gohan took the initiative to attack.


    With his Mystic state at full power, Gohan dashed toward Goku like lightning and launched a full-force strike head-on.


    Goku easily blocked this unstoppable attack with his right hand, skillfully redirecting Gohan''s power in all directions.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Several consecutive explosions sounded.


    With Goku and Gohan as the center, the land within dozens of meters was developed by the impact of their power.


    After the initial strike failed, Gohan launched a dozen more powerful attacks at Goku.


    The seemingly fierce moves were full of openings in Goku''s eyes.


    Relying on his veteran combat experience, all of Gohan''s moves were deflected. Seizing an opening in Gohan''s attack, Goku kicked out.


    With a thud!, Gohan was struck and quickly retreated, clutching his injured abdomen and straightening his back with difficulty.


    "Your reactions have slowed down a lot, Gohan."


    "Even though the world is peaceful now, you can''t neglect training. If a crisis comes and you regret not training, it will be too late."


    Goku looked at Gohan and earnestly advised him.


    His heart was now filled with complex emotions.


    Honestly, Gohan was the Saiyan with the greatest potential to surpass him.


    In his previous life, if Gohan hadn''t given up training and could have helped him in the battle against the Shadow Dragons, the final outcome might have been different.


    Now that he was reborn, he didn''t want Gohan to repeat the same path and waste his potential and talent.


    Hearing this, Gohan fell silent, his face becoming slightly serious.


    Honestly, he also wanted to become stronger and become a warrior who surpassed his father, but now he was still studying and attending college and didn''t have much time to devote to training.


    Noticing the change in Gohan''s emotions, Goku added: "You don''t have to take what I said to heart, Gohan."


    "I won''t interfere with your future."


    Goku once again got into a fighting stance, signaling Gohan to attack.


    And at that moment, Gohan gradually clenched his fists, his eyes becoming more determined.


    "I have my own future. Although I don''t know if I can become the warrior you expect me to be, Dad, I will do my best in everything."


    "Whether it''s the scholar that Mom wants me to be or the warrior that you want me to be, Dad, I will do my best!"


    Gohan was determined to do both well.


    Although it wouldn''t happen overnight, he would prove it with his actions in the future.


    He would not only become an excellent scholar but also a reliable warrior in his father''s eyes.


    "Your promise is enough."


    "Keep attacking. The work isn''t finished yet." Getting the answer he wanted, Goku didn''t say anything more.


    The next second, Gohan''s expression suddenly became fierce.


    "Haaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" A hysterical roar came from Gohan''s mouth.


    With this roar, his Mystic state''s power increased once again, and Gohan threw out a compressed energy ball toward Goku with one hand.


    Seeing this, Goku quickly condensed an energy ball to respond.


    Boom!!!! The energies collided, creating several ripples in space. The light produced by the explosion bloomed and quickly spread.

 Chapter 10: The World Changes, Vegeta Achieves Super Saiyan 3!

    Energy exploded, smoke filled the air, and rocks flew everywhere.


    Goku and Gohan attacked simultaneously, their powerful auras dispelling the smoke, and the father and son resumed their battle.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The roars of explosions echoed through the space.


    Goku and Gohan were once again locked in battle, their powers pressing against each other. Every punch landed with a deafening impact.


    Having been through countless battles, Goku''s combat skills and experience had reached the peak of his current level. With the fusion of memories from his past life and the present, his fighting skills and experience had reached another level.


    He had honed the Turtle School fighting style, which combined offense and defense, to its peak. His attacks were fierce and powerful, and his defense was impenetrable, creating a perfect synergy.


    Goku easily defended against all of Gohan''s attacks, while the power of the Mystic state continued to rise during the battle.


    As the battle went on, the blood in Gohan''s body began to stir, and he became more and more courageous.


    Even though he had neglected his training, his combat skills and memories had already been ingrained in his body. As the battle continued, Gohan''s most primal fighting instincts were gradually awakened.


    His speed, strength, and reaction time were all improving, and his attack techniques were constantly evolving.


    With the awakening of his fighting instincts, Gohan''s counterattack began.


    His attacks had no pattern and followed his body''s instincts. Every strike was aimed directly at Goku''s weak points, and his attacks were fierce and sharp.


    Faced with Gohan in this state, Goku was suppressed in his base form.


    {As expected, with Gohan''s talent, all he needs is to ignite his desire to fight, and then his power will recover quickly,} Goku thought to himself as he gradually began to exert his power.


    His fighting spirit had also been ignited by Gohan.


    Switching offense and defense, the counterattack began!


    "Hyaaaaaa!!!" Goku roared, electricity crackled around him, and a white aura erupted.


    His base form was at full power, unleashing 100% of its strength!


    Instinctively sensing the danger, Gohan crossed his arms defensively.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Three heavy explosions rang out.


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Three large fist prints appeared on Gohan''s arms, and the irresistible force swept through his entire body. By the time Gohan came to his senses, he had been knocked back hundreds of meters.


    {What powerful punches! And that was just Dad''s base form!} Gohan thought to himself, shocked.


    In just two years, his father''s strength had increased to this extent.


    After having his potential unlocked by the Old Kai, he was confident that he could beat Goku in Super Saiyan 3.


    But now, the situation had completely changed. Goku didn''t even need to transform into a Super Saiyan; he could suppress him with just his base form.


    Whoosh!! A whistling sound rang out.


    While Gohan was distracted, Goku teleported in front of Gohan.


    Gohan sensed danger at this sight.


    "Getting distracted during a fight is a big no-no, Gohan." Goku said, a grin tugging at his lips. The next second, he threw a charged-up punch at Gohan''s face.


    "Crap!" Gohan''s expression changed drastically as he felt the oncoming storm.


    At the last second, Goku stopped and withdrew his punch.


    After coming to his senses, Gohan was covered in cold sweat.


    If that attack had hit.


    He would have lost consciousness instantly.


    "That''s all for today, Gohan. Let''s spar again after you get stronger next time." Goku stopped and retracted his aura.


    Seeing this, Gohan took a deep breath, calmed his restless heart, and nodded firmly.


    The father-son battle had temporarily come to an end.


    Gohan and Goku landed simultaneously. Goku scanned the area, and all he could see was smoke.


    This made Goku sweat and his mouth twitch uncontrollably.


    Using battle to develop the land was indeed a very efficient method, but whether Chi-Chi would approve of it was another matter.


    ...


    Meanwhile.


    West City.


    In Vegeta''s gravity training room.


    The gravity training room was filled with scarlet light, and the gravity had reached a terrifying 3000G.


    This was 3000 times the Earth''s gravity, which was the limit for the gravity training room.


    Vegeta stood in the center of the gravity training room, maintaining the peak of Super Saiyan 2.


    Ever since his tail had been pulled out, he had felt that the floodgates in his body had been opened, and the bottleneck that had plagued him for so long had shown signs of loosening.


    He used the extreme pressure in the gravity training room to develop the potential within his body to break through his limits.


    The feeling of restless Saiyan blood and energy within his body grew stronger.


    He had never felt this way before, and it told Vegeta that the time was ripe.


    "Haaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" Vegeta roared and began to release the powerful energy within his body without restraint.


    With his deliberate drive, the Saiyan energy pool in his body was activated, and the vast S-Cells within him flowed through his body like dragons.


    All of the energy gathered towards the back of his spine. With each roar, Vegeta''s aura grew more terrifying, and his appearance changed at a visible rate.


    A golden beam of energy broke through the gravity training room''s restraints and shot into the sky.


    The entire West City, and even the entire Earth, was stirred up by this terrifying force.


    The sudden, huge earthquake startled Bulma and Trunks in the mansion, and they quickly ran out of the house.


    The mother and son both noticed the giant beam of energy soaring into the sky.


    The enormous energy beam lasted a full ten seconds before dissipating.


    As the beam of energy dissipated, the tremors stopped, and everything returned to calm.


    On the ruins of the gravity training room.


    Vegeta had broken through his limits and reached a higher level as he had hoped.


    His golden hair reached his waist, his eyebrows had disappeared, his brow ridge was lower, and multiple blue and white arcs of electricity surrounded him. Just standing there, he exuded a majestic aura, like a lion.


    "Ve...Vegeta?!" Noticing Vegeta''s changed appearance, Bulma''s mouth widened, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.


    Vegeta, in a good mood, smiled back. The confident and handsome appearance made Bulma''s fair face flush red.


    "Super Saiyan 3?! Dad has become Super Saiyan 3!!" Trunks shouted excitedly.

 Chapter 11: One Year Later, Perfect Mastery of Super Saiyan 4!

    Vegeta was immersed in joy. He had been contemplating the transformation into Super Saiyan 3 day and night.


    Now, with the growth of his tail, the bottleneck had been broken, and he had surpassed his limits. He had successfully completed the transformation into Super Saiyan 3 as he wished.


    {Kakarot, I have also completed the Super Saiyan 3 transformation. Just wait, it won''t be long before I surpass you!} Vegeta clenched his fists excitedly and vowed in his heart.


    Mastering the Super Saiyan 3 transformation was equivalent to standing on the same platform as Goku.


    As the prince of the Saiyans, with noble royal blood flowing in his veins, he didn''t think he would lose to Goku in the same form.


    When Vegeta completed the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, the Z fighters around the world immediately sensed his terrifying aura.


    Krillin, working at the West City traffic police department, glanced towards the source of the energy burst.


    {What amazing energy. Has Vegeta''s power increased to this extent? Could it be that he has also completed the Super Saiyan 3 transformation?} Krillin thought seriously. The powerful aura Vegeta was exuding reminded him of Super Saiyan 3.


    Only Super Saiyan 3 could unleash such a terrifying and profound aura.


    In the southern part of Earth, at Tien Shinhan''s dojo, he was focused on teaching new disciples, explaining the essence of martial arts and how to cultivate their ki.


    When he noticed Vegeta''s aura erupting, Tien Shinhan didn''t show any particular expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.


    He concentrated on sharing his years of training experience with his disciples.


    ...


    On Kami''s Lookout, Kami Dende, Popo, and Piccolo stood at the edge, overlooking the Earth. They had also witnessed Vegeta''s achievement of Super Saiyan 3.


    Dende and Popo remained silent. They didn''t have much interaction with Vegeta, and his breakthrough to Super Saiyan 3 was inconsequential to them.


    But for Piccolo, it was different.


    {Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta, you''ve finally taken this step¡­} Piccolo thought gravely.


    He could already foresee what would happen in the future.


    Vegeta, having mastered Super Saiyan 3, would inevitably have a battle with Goku to determine who was the strongest Saiyan on the planet.


    The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    ...


    The scene changed to Mount Paozu.


    Goku was being scolded by Chi-Chi.


    Using the shockwaves of battle to till the land was something only Goku could come up with.


    Not only had he destroyed a perfectly good field with shockwaves, but the usable area was also pitifully small.


    Fortunately, Goku apologized repeatedly and promised never to do it again, and he escaped unscathed.


    At the same time, Vegeta''s vast aura traveled from the distant West City to the Mount Paozu area.


    "Is that Vegeta''s energy? It''s so powerful!" Gohan sensed the strong aura and immediately recognized that it was Vegeta''s.


    It had increased so much compared to before, leaving him far behind.


    On the other hand, when Goku sensed the aura Vegeta was releasing, he smiled expectantly.


    {I didn''t expect you to break through your limits and complete the Super Saiyan 3 transformation so quickly.} Goku was excited.


    In his previous life, Vegeta had still failed to master Super Saiyan 3, and he had only achieved Super Saiyan 4 with the help of technology.


    Now, things were different. This world had changed because of his actions.


    Vegeta had not only grown his tail earlier, but he had also mastered Super Saiyan 3.


    The future had begun to move in a completely new direction.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, time flew by.


    Before they knew it, a year had passed.


    That year had been long as they lived through it, but once it was over, it was as if it had only been a blink of an eye.


    Today was the third anniversary of Majin Buu''s defeat.


    The long period of peace had made most of the Z fighters relax their vigilance, return to their normal lives, and give up training.


    Only a few continued to relentlessly pursue a stronger path and break into a stronger realm.


    ...


    The scene switched to the top of Mount Paozu.


    Goku was in a state of deep meditation, sitting cross-legged on a cliff.


    He had been in this state for days.


    Ever since he had mastered the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, he had never let up for a moment. In the past year, he had been pushing himself to develop his potential.


    At that moment, Goku, who was in a state of deep meditation, opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation.


    With a thought, a golden aura flashed around him, and the surging energy, with its boundless power, expanded rapidly. His form also changed in the energy storm.


    In just a blink of an eye, Goku completed the process from base form to Super Saiyan 4.


    "I did it. After a year, I''ve finally mastered Super Saiyan 4!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku clenched his fists and smiled with satisfaction.


    In the past year, he had never slacked off since mastering Super Saiyan 4.


    He had done his best to train both his base form and his control of Super Saiyan 4.


    Today, his base form had undergone a quantum leap, and he could use the Super Saiyan 4 transformation with ease.


    He could perfectly restrain the excitement brought on by the Super Saiyan 4 state and would not have to defeat his opponent before stopping, as was the case when he first became Super Saiyan 4.


    He could freely control his powerful aura, making it as calm as a lake or as turbulent as a surging wave.


    "Hoo~!" After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Goku actively dispersed the Super Saiyan 4 transformation and returned to his base form.


    Now, he had initially mastered the power of Super Saiyan 4.


    So the next goal was to surpass Super Saiyan 4.


    But the question was, how could he surpass Super Saiyan 4?


    In his previous life, he was able to surpass Super Saiyan 4 because he had absorbed a large amount of energy and reactivated Super Saiyan 4, breaking through his limits in the process.


    In this life, it was obviously impossible to surpass his limits using the same method as in his previous life.

 Chapter 12: Feeling Divine Power, Heading to the Sacred World of the Kais!

    Back then, he had broken through his limits by absorbing the power of adult Gohan, Goten, Uub, and Trunks, thus mastering the Super Saiyan form that transcended Super Saiyan 4.


    But that method was unlikely to work in this era.


    Not to mention that Uub was only a few years old in this era, even with the power of Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and Gohan, it probably wouldn''t be enough to fill even half of his body.


    In his Super Saiyan 4 form, he could store a vast amount of energy, and even he didn''t know where the limit was.


    "This is a real headache. If that method doesn''t work, I''ll have to use other methods."


    "If I want to break through my limits in a very short time, it seems there''s no better way than to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."


    Goku was very troubled.


    Frankly, training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was not the best choice. Not only was the environment harsh, but training alone would be inefficient and couldn''t last long.


    Unless he could find like-minded people to train with in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.


    Several faces flashed through Goku''s mind.


    Gohan?


    That probably wouldn''t work. The kid was still busy with his studies. Even if he had promised to train, he only did some simple exercises occasionally to ensure his power wouldn''t decline.


    It was unlikely that he would train with him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again.


    Goten?


    The thought was immediately dismissed. Setting aside Goten''s age, if Chi-Chi found out about this...the consequences would be unimaginable.


    He would definitely get a scolding.


    As for the other partners, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Vegeta, and Piccolo, the first three could be ignored. Given the current situation, it was unlikely that they would agree to train together.


    After thinking about it, there were only two good candidates, Vegeta and Piccolo.


    As for Vegeta, Goku wasn''t sure if he would train with him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. After all, their relationship was pretty good, but they had never trained together.


    If he took the initiative to invite Vegeta to train, he might be rejected.


    After constant elimination, the only person he knew who could train with him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber seemed to be Piccolo.


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    "Should I go to Kami''s Lookout now and invite Piccolo to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Goku murmured.


    At the same time, he had new plans. Training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber like that seemed like a waste of the opportunity.


    But if he didn''t go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, it would take a lot of time to break through his current limits.


    As Goku was lost in thought, an elderly figure suddenly flashed in his mind.


    The Old Kai.


    He was the one who had unlocked Gohan''s potential, greatly increasing his power to the point where he even surpassed his Super Saiyan 3.


    And when Gohan couldn''t defeat Majin Buu, the Old Kai had given him part of his life, allowing him to return to Earth.


    "That''s right! There''s also the Old Kai! He was the one who helped me pull out my tail. Maybe he knows how to make my Super Saiyan 4 stronger!" Goku decided to visit the Sacred World of the Kais.


    Throughout the universe, it seemed that the only one who could make his power stronger was the Old Kai.


    Soon, Goku focused his mind and quickly locked onto the location of the Sacred World of the Kais, sensing the ki of the Kais.


    Divine power was completely different from human ki. Generally, mortals could not sense divine power.


    But some mortals with overwhelmingly strong power were an exception.


    If it was the current Goku, his level wasn''t high enough, and he wouldn''t even be able to sense the Old Kai''s ki, let alone teleport to the Sacred World of the Kais.


    But now, the person in control of this body was GT Goku, who had long been familiar with the ki of the Kais in his previous life.


    With his right hand formed into a sword finger placed on his forehead, Goku expanded his vast mental perception, transcending dimensions to lock onto the Old Kai''s ki.


    With a thought, Instant Transmission was activated.


    ...


    The Sacred World of the Kais.


    As the holy land where the Kais of each generation lived, the environment here was difficult to find in any lower world planet throughout the entire universe.


    Now the universe was at peace, and there had never been any turmoil.


    With nothing to do, Kibito Kai and the Old Kai were passing the time.


    Kibito Kai used his ability to observe the newly born planets in the lower world, observing the creatures on these planets and their potential for future development.


    The Old Kai was doing the same, but the Old Kai didn''t know what he saw. His old face showed a perverted smile, and he kept saying, "Like that, a little lower! A little lower!"


    This scene was seen by Kibito Kai next to him.


    Seeing his ancestor so excited, coupled with his understanding of the Old Kai, Kibito Kai immediately had the wrong idea.


    "Old Ancestor, as gods, we can''t do such things." Kibito Kai stood in front of the Old Kai and said righteously.


    Seeing Kibito Kai blocking him and saying things he didn''t understand, the Old Kai glared at him and said unhappily, "You kid, get out of the way! The moment of victory is coming soon!"


    "The moment of victory?" Hearing this, Kibito Kai froze and subconsciously turned his head, following the Old Kai''s gaze.


    He saw two beetles dueling on a tree on a distant planet. One of them had been overturned, declaring the victory of the duel.


    "Seriously, I lost again." Seeing his favorite beetle overturned, the Old Kai said with a look of disappointment. At the same time, he glanced at Kibito Kai next to him and said, "I said, you kid wouldn''t have gotten the wrong idea, would you?"


    "That...that...the weather is really nice today..." Kibito Kai said awkwardly, quickly changing the subject.


    The Old Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, making Kibito Kai feel nervous.


    Just then, the space fluctuated.


    With a whoosh~!!, Goku appeared out of thin air between the Old Kai and Kibito Kai.


    "Goku?!" X2


    Goku''s sudden appearance caused the Old Kai and Kibito Kai to exclaim at the same time.


    The Old Kai was very surprised by this. He never thought that Goku could reach the Sacred World of the Kais with his own power.


    Although there had been a previous incident, Gohan had been in the Sacred World of the Kais, and Goku had sensed his ki and teleported over.


    But now, in this vast Sacred World of the Kais, there were only him and Kibito Kai, no mortals.

 Chapter 13: Goku: This World Has Experts?!

    But Goku had still reached the Sacred World of the Kais through his own abilities, and the two were completely different.


    Although Kibito Kai wondered how Goku had come to the Sacred World of the Kais, he was more relieved.


    Goku''s sudden appearance had indirectly helped him out of his predicament.


    "Old Kai, and Kibito Kai, it''s been a while," Goku said with a smile, greeting the two.


    "I didn''t expect you to be able to travel freely between the mortal realm and the divine realm. It seems that you can sense the aura of gods now?" The Old Kai stared intently at Goku and asked with a serious tone.


    "Yes, I can feel the strange power emanating from you and Kibito Kai," Goku replied without hiding anything.


    Receiving the accurate answer, a look of surprise flashed across the Old Kai''s face, which was usually calm.


    Honestly, he himself hadn''t expected Goku''s growth rate to be so fast. It had only been three years since he was resurrected, and without anyone''s guidance, he could initially sense the existence of divine power, and it was a transdimensional sense.


    Although their Kai''s divine power wasn''t as pure and powerful as the Destroyer Gods, it was still the power of gods.


    Although Goku was still a mortal, his level of life and powerful strength had touched the realm of gods.


    Kibito Kai quietly listened to the conversation between Goku and the Old Kai, not interrupting and remaining silent.


    "I see, so the purpose of your coming to the Sacred World of the Kais, if I''m not mistaken, is to have me give you some pointers?" The Old Kai asked, his hands behind his back, and his old waist hunched as he looked at Goku.


    The Old Kai knew Goku, a battle maniac, too well.


    Coming to the Sacred World of the Kais was nothing more than one thing, to get stronger.


    "To be honest, Old Kai, a year ago, I broke through the limits of Super Saiyan 3 and reached Super Saiyan 4."


    "After a year of training, I have also perfectly mastered Super Saiyan 4 in its current form, but I don''t have a good way to break through."


    "So, that''s why I came to the Sacred World of the Kais to ask you for guidance."


    Goku put his hands together and bowed slightly to the Old Kai, saying respectfully.


    Seeing Goku''s sincere attitude, the Old Kai nodded silently.

    Possessing great power but not being arrogant, coupled with having the heart of a child, it wouldn''t be impossible for him to become his, the Old Kai''s, disciple.


    However, the thing he had promised him three years ago, why hadn''t it been fulfilled yet?


    "It''s not impossible to help you break through your limits," the Old Kai said with a pretending to be calm nod, then, after a moment of silence, he asked with a questioning tone, "However, shouldn''t you also fulfill the thing you promised me three years ago?"


    As soon as the Old Kai said this, the smile on Goku''s face stopped abruptly, and he was instantly embarrassed.


    He naturally knew what promise the Old Kai was referring to.


    "That...this...Old Kai...so much time has passed...should we just forget about it..." Goku asked with a bit of guilt, embarrassed.


    Honestly, if the Old Kai hadn''t mentioned it, he would have forgotten all about it.


    Finding a young and beautiful girl for this old guy to touch, he had originally planned to find Bulma, but if he really did that, Vegeta would probably kill him.


    As for Videl, she had a good relationship with his son Gohan, but when he asked Gohan for his opinion three years ago, he was strongly rejected.


    As for his own wife Chi-Chi...he had never considered it.


    "It seems that you''ve already forgotten about it, haven''t you?"


    "I gave you my last remaining lifespan, and you''ve deceived me like this, betraying my trust in you. It''s truly unexpected."


    The Old Kai deliberately pretended to be extremely disappointed.


    Don''t look at how pessimistic this old guy is now, it''s all intentionally pretending, just to see the reaction of this kid Goku.


    Sure enough, Goku took the bait after noticing the pitiful look the Old Kai was putting on.


    "How about this...Old Kai, as long as it''s something within my power, I''ll do it," Goku had no choice but to compromise.


    Hearing this, the Old Kai smiled pervertedly. This was what he was waiting for Goku to say.


    "Okay, seeing how sincere you are, I''ll overlook your previous deception of me."


    "However, I won''t pretend I didn''t hear your promise just now. There just happens to be something here that only you can do."


    The Old Kai revealed his true intentions and directly stated his purpose.


    Goku perked up and waited for the Old Kai to speak.


    "Do you remember when I was released, I said that there was a very powerful guy who sealed me away?"


    "Looking at the entire universe, the only one who can fight against him is probably you. If you promise me that in the future, when you grow to a certain point, you''ll meet that guy and help me vent my anger, I can not only help you improve Super Saiyan 4 to the next level, but I can also pass on all my knowledge to you."


    The Old Kai''s deep eyes stared straight at Goku, his eyes full of firmness.


    He was taking a gamble, placing his hope of avenging himself on Goku.


    After listening to the Old Kai''s words without missing a single word, Goku paused for a moment. In his world, the Old Kai had never mentioned this to him. He still didn''t understand who the person who had sealed the Old Kai was.


    Also, the Old Kai asked him to deal with that guy after he had grown to a certain point. Could it be that there was someone in this world who was stronger than his Super Saiyan 4?


    "Old Kai, are you saying that with my current strength, even if I transform into Super Saiyan 4, I can''t win against that person?" Goku asked incredulously.


    The Old Kai nodded without hesitation.


    This situation shocked Goku even more.


    This world had experts?! Stronger than his Super Saiyan 4?


    That strength was probably comparable to Super Saiyan Omega Shenron, or even stronger, right?


    "You don''t need to know his identity now. As long as you continue to get stronger, you''ll meet him sooner or later."


    "What''s wrong, are you scared even before you''ve fought?" The Old Kai joked.


    "I''m already getting excited."


    "I wonder what kind of person that existence who sealed you away is."


    "And how strong his power is!"


    A fiery fighting spirit flashed in Goku''s eyes, and he said excitedly.

 Chapter 14: Children Make Choices; I Want It All!

    Seeing this, the Old Kai secretly rejoiced. Goku had indeed taken the bait.


    For these Saiyans, the most attractive things are nothing more than two: power and strong enemies.


    "So, do you dare to agree?" The Old Kai asked with a teasing smile.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? I want to see how powerful someone praised by you, Old Kai, to be stronger than Super Saiyan 4 is!" Goku said confidently.


    "Good, since you''ve agreed, then I won''t go back on my word."


    "But before that, please transform into Super Saiyan 4 so I can see how strong you are now."


    The Old Kai suggested.


    "That''s no problem." As soon as he finished speaking, Goku actively activated the power of his bloodline. The surging golden aura turned into a gentle storm around him, and in the golden light, Goku completed his transformation.


    His body was covered in red fur, his black hair reached his waist, his muscles were strong, and the wild aura he exuded was incredibly terrifying.


    This was Super Saiyan 4!


    He directly skipped the transformation process from Super Saiyan 1 to Super Saiyan 3 and completed Super Saiyan 4. This showed that Goku''s mastery of this transformation had reached the point where he could control it as he pleased.


    The wild aura was controlled freely and skillfully.


    "Is this the Super Saiyan 4 transformation? It''s so strong." Kibito Kai stared intently at Super Saiyan 4 Goku in front of him.


    The invisible pressure made it difficult for even this Kai to breathe.


    Super Saiyan 4 was unbelievably strong.


    "You''ve mastered this transformation very well..." The Old Kai looked up and down at Goku, nodding his head in satisfaction.


    With his insight, he had seen too much. Although Goku was still a mortal, his powerful combat power had touched the realm of gods.


    If he took it one step further, it wouldn''t be impossible for him to be comparable to a god with the body of a mortal.


    "It''s just a little progress," Goku said modestly, and in the next second, he actively canceled the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.


    After a moment of silence, the Old Kai came up with a plan suitable for Goku to get stronger quickly.


    "I just thought about it, with your current strength, there are only two ways to get stronger."


    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    "The first way is for me to unlock your potential and increase your power to exceed your limits. You know this method."


    "The second way is for me to teach you the cultivation method of divine power. You will cultivate according to this method."


    "It''s up to you which one you want."


    The Old Kai listed two ways to get stronger in one breath, letting Goku choose one of them.


    Hearing the cultivation methods listed by the Old Kai, Goku''s eyes lit up. He had seen the effect of potential unlocking, which directly allowed Gohan to master the Mystic state that was comparable to his Super Saiyan 3.


    As for the divine power cultivation method, he had never heard the Old Kai mention it in his previous life, but since it involved the power of gods, this cultivation method must not be simple.


    "Old Kai, why do I have to choose one of your two methods? Can''t I have it all?" Goku asked, confused, glancing at the Old Kai.


    At this time, the Old Kai suddenly paused. He didn''t expect Goku to be so clever.


    Wanting both cultivation methods seemed like it wasn''t impossible.


    "You''re a smart kid, wanting both methods. Seeing how sincere you are, I''ll reluctantly agree," the Old Kai said.


    "Then I won''t be polite, Old Kai," Goku said with a smile.


    "Come with me." The Old Kai turned and walked towards a certain direction.


    Goku followed closely behind.


    Soon, the Old Kai led Goku to the center of the Sacred World of the Kais.


    The two sat facing each other.


    "Relax your mind. I''ll first teach you the cultivation method of divine power," the Old Kai said.


    "Okay." Goku relaxed his mind as the Old Kai said.


    Through his mind, the Old Kai passed on all the information about divine power to Goku.


    Sensing the additional information in his mind, Goku began to try to understand what this unique divine power cultivation method was.


    "I''ve already transmitted all the information about divine power into your mind. I''ll start unlocking your potential first. You can try to understand divine power while I unlock your potential." After the Old Kai finished speaking, he got up and walked around Goku, beginning to walk around Goku with extremely strange dance steps.


    Goku also began to understand the divine power cultivation method as the Old Kai said.


    ...


    In Goku''s mental world.


    Goku''s mental body was here to understand the information about divine power.


    But in front of him, there was a special thing that couldn''t be described.


    "What is this? I''ve never had this thing here before." Goku noticed the special energy mass in front of him and was very confused.


    He took the initiative to step forward to touch this spiritual body, but he was repelled by an invisible force.


    "What''s going on?" Being repelled, Goku blinked his eyes in confusion. At this moment, he couldn''t care less about the divine power cultivation method and began to watch the mass of energy from left and right.


    In the darkness, he felt a sense of intimacy.


    This thing that he didn''t know what it was seemed to be a part of him, but he didn''t know why it had separated from him.


    After studying it to no avail, Goku temporarily ignored it and began to understand the basic information and everything about divine power.


    ...


    Time passed by every minute and every second. Before he knew it, the Old Kai had been unlocking Goku''s potential for three hours.


    After three hours of high-intensity potential unlocking, the Old Kai was already sweating profusely.


    The huge mental pressure almost overwhelmed his old bones.


    {It''s already the limit.} The Old Kai, panting, stopped beside Goku.


    He didn''t expect Goku''s potential to be so vast.


    It was like a bottomless pit. Whenever he unlocked it to the limit, more potential would emerge.


    No matter how he unlocked it, he couldn''t unlock it all.


    The Old Kai''s potential unlocking stopped, and Goku, who was aware of it, opened his eyes.


    "Is the potential unlocking over? Old Kai?" Looking at the Old Kai, who was out of breath, Goku blinked his eyes in confusion and asked.


    "Yes, it''s over. This is all the potential I can unlock for you at the moment," the Old Kai said with a meaningful glance at Goku.

 Chapter 15: Return, Vegeta Comes Looking!

    Even Goku himself didn''t know that when he mastered Super Saiyan 4, the floodgates to the power of his bloodline were completely opened, and the potential within his body was unfathomable.


    Even for an existence like the Old Kai, the excavation of his potential only lasted for three hours before it ended.


    Although he could continue to unlock potential, the effect of doing so would be minimal, even less than self-cultivation.


    "Thank you, Old Kai." Goku stood up, feeling the restless Saiyan blood within his body.


    Thanks to the Old Kai''s potential unlock, he noticed that the bottleneck he had sensed was showing signs of loosening.


    "Hey, hey! I''m still here. If you want to explode, wait for me to get farther away!" Noticing that Goku was about to explode with power at any moment, the Old Kai was startled.


    The last time he helped Gohan unlock his potential, he was blown away by these Saiyans.


    With Gohan''s example, the Old Kai was very vigilant.


    Without hesitation, the Old Kai quickly retreated to a distance, maintaining a relatively safe distance from Goku.


    Seeing that the Old Kai had gone far away, Goku activated the power of his bloodline without worry.


    In an instant, the golden aura was released from the inside out, and the surging golden light column pierced through the sky of the Sacred World of the Kais, and an extremely heavy aura of pressure descended on this world.


    When the golden aura dissipated, Goku once again transformed into his wild Super Saiyan 4 form.


    After the Old Kai unlocked his potential, his Super Saiyan 4 had been increased to a certain extent. Although this increase in power was nothing, it was still a gain.


    Entering the Super Saiyan 4 state again, he felt that the bottleneck that had been troubling him for a long time had signs of breaking through.


    {It seems that when I enter Super Saiyan 4, the effect of the Old Kai''s potential unlock on me is not that obvious.}


    {I was too naive to think that I could use potential unlocking to break the current limit of Super Saiyan 4.}


    {I still have to go through training and increase the power of my base form, step by step, to stabilize my foundation before I can break the existing bottleneck.}


    Goku planned his next steps in his heart.


    Now that the Old Kai''s potential unlock was over, he would have to rely on his own training.


    As for the mysterious divine power cultivation method, he would take the initiative to cultivate it in the future and integrate it into Super Saiyan 4 to see if it could further improve his Super Saiyan 4 form.


    If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Since his goal had been achieved, there was no need for him to stay in the Sacred World of the Kais any longer.


    Goku once again canceled his Super Saiyan 4 transformation and walked slowly to the Old Kai.


    "Thank you, Old Kai." Goku put his hands together and respectfully thanked the Old Kai.


    "It''s just a small effort. You just need to remember our agreement," the Old Kai waved his hand, signaling that Goku didn''t need to be so polite.


    "Then I''ll leave first, Old Kai, and Kibito Kai." After saying goodbye to the two Kais, Goku used Instant Transmission again and left the Sacred World of the Kais.


    Watching Goku leave, the Old Kai showed a thoughtful expression. Goku''s attitude just now made him feel a little strange.


    This Goku seemed to be Goku, but not Goku.


    {Maybe I''m just overthinking it.} The Old Kai didn''t think much about it.


    ...


    Earth.


    After ending his potential unlock, Goku returned to Mount Paozu.


    He had gained a lot from this trip to the Sacred World of the Kais. Not only had the Old Kai unlocked his potential, but he had also obtained a divine power cultivation method that he had never heard of before.


    But Goku wasn''t in a hurry to cultivate divine power. Right now, the top priority was to break through his current limits and take his Super Saiyan 4 form one step further.


    But cultivation wasn''t something that could be done overnight.


    The so-called cultivation has no years, and in the blink of an eye, centuries pass. Goku knew this. Sometimes, because of temporary impatience, he would invest in cultivation, and the final effect would probably be unsatisfactory.


    Instead of deliberately seeking a breakthrough, it was better to let nature take its course. When the time came, the breakthrough would come.


    Regaining his thoughts, Goku went to work, driving his cultivator to continue developing the land of Mount Paozu.


    ...


    The scene changed to Vegeta''s side.


    Today''s Vegeta was behaving very abnormally, completely different from the cultivation maniac of the past.


    Today, he wasn''t even training in the super gravity training room.


    Since breaking through Super Saiyan 3 a year ago, Vegeta had increased the intensity of his training and was almost always in high-intensity training.


    Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, he spent his time in Bulma''s newly rebuilt super gravity training room.


    As the Saiyan prince, he was naturally gifted and had extraordinary potential.


    After a year of high-intensity training, he finally perfectly controlled Super Saiyan 3.


    Now, the time was right.


    Vegeta looked into the distance, and his vast mental perception enveloped the globe, locking onto Goku''s aura.


    "You''re finally back, Kakarot." A demonic smile appeared on Vegeta''s face.


    In the next second, his aura exploded, and he flew towards Mount Paozu at full speed.


    ...


    Goku''s side.


    At this time, Goku was driving a cultivator to develop the land of Mount Paozu.


    "If only there was a faster way." Goku complained helplessly.


    A year ago, he had a sudden idea to develop the land through battle, but he failed and was scolded by Chi-Chi. He didn''t even get dinner that night.


    Since that time, he had been honest and could only honestly complete the work at hand.


    It was interesting that this kind of ordinary life had a different flavor for him, who had cultivated for most of his life.


    As Goku was driving the cultivator, planning his future steps, he sensed Vegeta''s ki coming towards him at a rapid pace.


    "Hmm?! This is Vegeta''s ki? Why is he suddenly looking for me?" Vegeta''s sudden visit surprised Goku.


    After all, although they were friends, they didn''t interfere with each other and were busy with their own lives.


    Curious, Goku stopped the cultivator and looked into the distance.


    In his vision, a black dot was constantly zooming in, eventually turning into Vegeta''s appearance.


    In a short few seconds, Vegeta landed in front of Goku at an astonishing speed.


    "Kakarot, what are you...doing?" Looking at Goku in his work clothes, Vegeta felt a strong sense of incongruity.


    He never thought that Goku, whom he acknowledged, would be reduced to working in the fields.

 Chapter 16: Fated Battle, An Overwhelming Gap!

    "I''m working. I haven''t finished my tasks for today."


    "So, Vegeta, do you need something? If not, I''ll get back to it. If I''m late, Chi-Chi will scold me again."


    Goku put his hands on his hips, waiting for Vegeta''s reply.


    Hearing this, Vegeta''s lips twitched. He didn''t expect that Goku, the strongest Saiyan he acknowledged, had fallen so low.


    Work? Why work? They were powerful Saiyans.


    Vegeta felt sympathy for Goku''s situation.


    If he were in that situation, he would probably use force to rule the Earth directly.


    But that was all in the future. He didn''t come today to waste time.


    "Let''s fight, Kakarot!" Vegeta issued a challenge to Goku with a firm tone.


    Hearing that Vegeta had come to fight, Goku''s interest was piqued. He glanced at the cultivator behind him and tossed the cultivation aside without hesitation.


    He could work anytime. It had been a year since he had a good workout, and his body was getting rusty.


    Vegeta''s visit made his hands itch.


    Without transforming into Super Saiyan 4, Vegeta could give him the thrill of battle.


    "Alright, but we have to find another place. If we cause damage here, it''ll be troublesome with Chi-Chi," Goku agreed to Vegeta''s challenge. He was also looking forward to Vegeta''s current strength.


    "Hmph! Whatever," Vegeta didn''t care about the battlefield. He just wanted to compete with Goku now.


    Soon, Goku took off his work clothes, and the two, having reached an agreement, burst into the sky and flew away.


    ...


    Soon, the two arrived at a rocky area dozens of kilometers away from Mount Paozu.


    This was a barren area. Humans hadn''t developed it yet, and no animals lived there because of the harsh environment.


    Goku and Vegeta descended from the sky, landing on rocks of different heights. The two faced each other, and an invisible aura formed, making the atmosphere of battle even more intense.


    "Come to think of it, we haven''t competed since we parted three years ago."


    "Now that three years have passed, how much has your power increased, Vegeta?"


    Goku looked at Vegeta with a smile, and a flash of light passed through his eyes. An invisible aura pressed down on Vegeta.

    "Hmph!" Vegeta snorted coldly. Goku''s little trick couldn''t have escaped his eyes.


    "Today is different from the past, Kakarot!! I! Am no longer the me of the past!!" With a loud shout, Vegeta went all out in his base form. A white aura surrounded him, and a terrifying aura soared into the sky, shaking the globe.


    The two''s auras collided, stirring up space and shaking the earth. The pressure in this area became unstable just from the clash of auras.


    Countless boulders on the ground were peeled off, suspended in mid-air, and then crushed by the powerful air pressure, turning into countless fragments scattered in the sky.


    The clash of auras between the two sides was evenly matched. Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan 1 at full power and speed and rushed towards Goku.


    Seeing Vegeta take the initiative to attack, Goku wasn''t moved. He smiled slightly.


    In the next second, Vegeta rushed to Goku''s front and threw a heavy punch.


    Goku, who had expected it, turned his head slightly and perfectly dodged Vegeta''s frontal heavy punch.


    Having dodged one strike, Vegeta quickly changed his strategy. His punches and kicks were as fast as lightning, continuous.


    Faced with Vegeta''s fierce attack, Goku kept dodging, dealing with it calmly.


    The battlefield changed constantly. Goku retreated to advance, inducing Vegeta to attack while exposing his weaknesses.


    ''Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... '' The sound of shocking blows was continuous.


    Vegeta launched dozens of powerful attacks in a matter of seconds, which Goku perfectly resolved with his prior planning.


    Having failed to hit Goku with dozens of attacks, Vegeta''s anger grew even stronger, and he threw an iron fist, gathering all his strength.


    Goku, who had been prepared for this, crossed his arms to form a cross, posing in a defensive stance.


    ''Boom!!!!!!!!'' There was a loud bang.


    The terrifying power spread throughout Goku''s body but failed to shake Goku at all.


    "What?!" Vegeta was shocked and looked incredulous.


    His full-power attack in Super Saiyan 1 form had no effect on Goku.


    "It''s my turn, Vegeta." Goku said, causing Vegeta''s heart to tremble.


    White electric light flashed around Goku, and a terrifying aura erupted.


    ''Boom!!!!'' The white aura turned into a storm, reaching the sky.


    The burst of aura alone forced Super Saiyan 1 Vegeta back a hundred meters.


    Switching from defense to attack, Goku took the initiative to attack, and his devastating punches and kicks all landed on Vegeta''s body.


    Faced with Goku''s initiative, Super Saiyan 1 Vegeta defended with all his might.


    ''Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... '' The sound of the collision of limbs was continuous.


    Faced with Goku''s initiative, Vegeta was clearly struggling.


    Even if the Majin Buu from back then was still alive, he wouldn''t have given him such great pressure.


    He was no longer the same as before. Even in Super Saiyan 1 form, Vegeta was confident that he could kill the Majin Buu from back then in ten rounds!


    But now, the harsh reality gave Vegeta a shock. His Super Saiyan 1 form was suppressed by Goku''s base form!


    No! It should be said, completely defeated!


    Under Goku''s multiple attacks, Vegeta''s defense was broken, and Goku''s heavy punch was embedded in his abdomen.


    ''Ptooey!'' Vegeta spat out a mouthful of acid from his mouth.


    The remaining force penetrated Vegeta''s body and shattered the rocky mountain behind Vegeta.


    Having suffered a heavy blow, Vegeta clutched his abdomen and kept backing away, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes and intense horror.


    "Impossible...this kind of thing..." Vegeta endured the pain and straightened his back.


    "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Vegeta let out an angry roar, and electric light exploded around him, entering Super Saiyan 2 to the extreme.


    His energy exploded, and the pain was suppressed, making Vegeta feel a little better.


    "Super Saiyan 2?" Goku smiled slightly, still not planning to transform.


    Vegeta saw this.


    A strong sense of shame made Vegeta''s heart rage, and he roared, "Are you humiliating me?! Kakarot!!"


    "I! Came to fight you!!"


    "I, Vegeta!! Don''t need your pity, show me your full strength!"


    Vegeta roared one after another, unwilling to give up. Goku felt his determination to compete with him.

 Chapter 17: A Difference in Dimensions, Vegeta Recognizes Reality!

    The smile on Goku''s face disappeared, replaced by a profound seriousness.


    Without saying much, Goku used action to show Vegeta just how strong he was.


    ''Crackling!!''


    Golden electric light exploded, and Goku entered Super Saiyan 1 at full power, revealing his terrifying aura without reservation.


    Feeling the terrifying aura erupting from Goku, Vegeta''s face changed drastically.


    At this moment, he clearly realized just how big the gap between him and Goku was.


    "Very well, Kakarot!" Vegeta clenched his fists, showing a grin.


    Even though he knew his strength was far inferior to Goku in front of him, he wouldn''t give up. He was, after all, Vegeta!


    Seeing Vegeta''s high-spirited appearance, Goku decided not to hide anymore and intended to use his real skills to compete with Vegeta.


    In an instant, the power of his bloodline was completely activated. The next second, a terrifying energy storm rapidly expanded with Goku at its center.


    Swept up in this energy storm, Vegeta struggled to stabilize his body, staring intently at Goku, who was constantly transforming, his heart pounding.


    {What is this aura?! And my body...!!} Vegeta noticed something was wrong.


    Why did his body instinctively convey a strong sense of unease when Goku transformed?


    No matter how big the difference in strength was, it shouldn''t make Vegeta''s cells submit.


    Soon, the energy storm dissipated, and Vegeta also knew the answer to why he was so uneasy.


    At this moment, Goku was covered in fiery red fur, his black hair reaching his waist, and the terrifying pressure he exuded was enough to distort space. His strong muscles were full of explosive power.


    This was Goku''s strongest transformation, Super Saiyan 4!


    "Sorry to keep you waiting, Vegeta. This is Super Saiyan 4." Goku''s indifferent voice sounded, without any emotional fluctuations.


    Looking at Goku in his ape-like state, Vegeta''s face was shocked, and his eyes were dull.


    This was a form he had never seen before.


    "Super Saiyan... 4?!!!"


    "Kakarot, you... you''ve gone this far...!!"


    Vegeta looked at Super Saiyan 4 Goku, and his heart was severely struck.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Whenever he took a step forward, Goku would always be ahead of him.


    This scene was very similar to three years ago.


    At that time, he had challenged Goku as Super Saiyan 2, but Goku had already reached the realm of Super Saiyan 3.


    Now, he had mastered Super Saiyan 3, but Goku had taken it a step further and mastered Super Saiyan 4.


    But unlike the hidden strength from three years ago, this time Goku cleanly transformed into Super Saiyan 4, respecting him enough.


    "I won''t hold back this time. Be prepared, Vegeta." As soon as he finished speaking, Goku got into a battle stance, and the terrifying aura within his body was revealed, putting pressure on Vegeta.


    "Hmph!!! That''s what I want!!" Unwilling to give in, Vegeta activated the energy within his body and entered Super Saiyan 3.


    But even with Super Saiyan 3, which narrowed the gap somewhat, the difference in strength between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4 was more than tenfold!


    The atmosphere became increasingly heavy, Vegeta''s expression was serious, and cold sweat soaked his back.


    {Damn it, Kakarot, although this guy is full of flaws, from another point of view, he''s completely unassailable!} Vegeta''s fighting nerves were highly tense, and he couldn''t find a way to attack for a while.


    Goku noticed this and smiled helplessly in his heart. Since Vegeta wasn''t going to attack, then he would.


    In the blink of an eye, Goku moved!


    ''Whoosh~!'' A sonic boom came from the space.


    {So fast!!} Vegeta''s pupils contracted, and his body instinctively took a defensive stance.


    ''Boom!!!'' A deafening roar exploded.


    In an instant, the wind surged, and dust rose everywhere.


    Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the fist that was almost pressed against his face.


    Coming back to his senses, he was shocked into a cold sweat.


    A single casual blow made him feel the threat of death.


    At this moment, the winner had been decided.


    "It''s over, Vegeta." Goku withdrew his fist, looking indifferently at Vegeta, who was still struggling.


    He fell into silence, not saying a word. Even though there were thousands of unwillingness in his heart, the reality was so cruel.


    The gap between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4 was too big.


    He had lost, lost very thoroughly.


    "Hmph hmph hmph hmph... Hahahahaha..." Vegeta let out a strange laugh.


    He had challenged Goku presumptuously, but he didn''t know that the two were no longer in the same dimension.


    He had lost this battle, lost very thoroughly.


    Looking at Vegeta, who was laughing non-stop, Goku didn''t say anything.


    Soon, Vegeta''s laughter disappeared. After tens of seconds of silence, he said as if he had been relieved, "You won, Kakarot."


    Vegeta cleanly admitted his defeat.


    This situation was unexpected to Goku.


    "But, don''t be happy too soon. The throne of the strongest Saiyan can''t always be yours!"


    "One day, I will prove that I am the strongest Saiyan!"


    Leaving behind a harsh statement that he wouldn''t give in, Vegeta burst into the sky and flew away.


    Looking at Vegeta''s receding figure in the sky, a smile appeared on Goku''s face.


    Vegeta was still Vegeta.


    "Alright, I''ll be waiting for that day." Goku felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.


    He knew that Vegeta couldn''t always be behind him, even if he didn''t tell him the transformation method for Super Saiyan 4.


    With Vegeta''s talent, he could figure out the transformation method for Super Saiyan 4 himself.


    In the next second, he canceled the transformation into Super Saiyan 4 and turned to fly towards Mount Paozu.


    This battle was over, but the turmoil it caused attracted the attention of others.


    The scene changed to the Lookout.


    Piccolo was standing on the edge of the Lookout, overlooking the scenery below.


    Vegeta''s challenge to Goku was also seen by him.


    At this time, Piccolo was so shocked that he couldn''t speak.


    Although he had expected that there would be a battle between Goku and Vegeta sooner or later, he didn''t expect that this battle would end in this way.


    An all-round crushing, without any suspense.


    "Super Saiyan 4... Goku... you''re really not giving us any chance to catch up with you..." Piccolo smiled wryly.

 Chapter 18: A Year Later, The Universe Shakes, God of Destruction Awakens!

    In the blink of an eye,


    A year had passed since the battle between Goku and Vegeta.


    During this year, Earth had been in a period of peace. All the Z Fighters, including Goku, seemed accustomed to the peaceful life, believing that Earth was now completely at peace and that no more enemies would come.


    But this peace was merely the prelude to a storm.


    This peace, which had lasted so long, would soon be broken.


    ...


    In the God of Destruction''s realm,


    The God of Destruction''s realm, which had been silent for many years, was experiencing an unprecedented great upheaval.


    The God of Destruction, Beerus, who had been asleep for thirty-seven years, had awakened!


    The God of Destruction''s power released upon awakening spread throughout the universe, causing fear in the hearts of some beings powerful enough to sense it.


    The awakening of the God of Destruction was the last thing they wanted to see.


    At the same time, gods in different positions throughout the universe sensed the awakening of the God of Destruction and became fearful and uneasy.


    For example, the Supreme Kai, Grand Kai, Kai, King Yemma, and some gods who managed planets in the universe all became nervous.


    They knew very well what the God of Destruction represented. Once asleep, it would be for decades or even centuries.


    But once awakened, it meant that the entire universe would face a great cleansing, and countless planets would be destroyed by the God of Destruction''s power.


    Because the existence of the God of Destruction was to maintain the current peace of the universe, periodically clearing out unqualified planets and things that would affect the balance of the universe, including people and things that would threaten the universe, etc.


    Some were worried, and some were happy. The happiest about the awakening of God of Destruction Beerus was the Angel Whis.


    After waiting in the God of Destruction''s realm for decades, someone could finally talk to him.


    Although he could also go to the lower realm, as an angel and servant of the God of Destruction, he could not go down to the lower realm without the permission of the God of Destruction.


    Moreover, as an angel, his identity was special, and his appearance would interfere with the normal operation of this world.


    If he wasn''t careful, it would cause the collapse of the universe''s order.


    Therefore, Whis had not casually gone to the mortal world in recent years, and even if he did, he only stayed for a very short time.


    Inside the God of Destruction''s palace,


    The awakened God of Destruction Beerus was recklessly releasing his God of Destruction''s power.


    Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    Countless destructive energies scattered around, colliding with the walls of the God of Destruction''s palace and the pre-set explosive alarm clock.


    ''Boom!!!''


    ''Rumble!!!!''


    ''Rumble!!!!''


    ...


    One after another, super explosions with terrifying destructive power rang out.


    God of Destruction Beerus was venting the excess power in his body from all those years of sleep, and also stretching his stiff body.


    "Ah~! Every time you wake up, it causes such a big commotion. I wonder when you''ll change your bad morning mood, Lord Beerus." Whis sighed helplessly.


    Having been with God of Destruction Beerus for so many years, every time he woke up, the scale of destruction was very large, and he was the one who always cleaned up afterward.


    But despite complaining, Whis was very understanding of Beerus.


    After all, the work of the God of Destruction was far more than just destroying planets. Anything that was detrimental to the development of the universe, whether it was a person or a thing, would be erased by the power of the God of Destruction.


    Moreover, as the universe continued to develop, the God of Destruction had to destroy more and more things. Now, countless negative energies were floating in the universe. Those were all impurities of the universe that needed to be erased by the God of Destruction.


    Every time a job was completed, it was a huge physical drain for the God of Destruction.


    Everyone thought that destruction was the easiest job, after all, all it took was using power.


    But what they didn''t know was that the workload of the God of Destruction was much larger than that of the Supreme Kai, who was responsible for creation.


    On the surface, the positions of the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai were the same, but in reality, the position of the God of Destruction was one level higher than that of the Supreme Kai.


    ...


    In another dimension,


    In the Sacred World of the Kais,


    Old Kai and Kibito Kai stood on a cliff, looking at the sky.


    At this time, Old Kai''s face no longer had the usual plain look, but was replaced by intense nervousness and fear.


    He was no stranger to God of Destruction Beerus. He was the one who had been sealed by God of Destruction Beerus in the first place.


    Kibito Kai had also learned about the existence of God of Destruction Beerus from Old Kai.


    At first, he didn''t think much of this God of Destruction. Even if he was very powerful, he probably wasn''t as strong as the current number one warrior in the universe, Goku.


    Now it seemed that his knowledge was too shallow.


    Just feeling the divine power released by God of Destruction Beerus upon awakening made him feel fear from the depths of his soul.


    This was no longer just being strong, but exceeding concepts and exceeding understanding.


    "I thought it would take at least three to five years for the God of Destruction to wake up. I didn''t expect him to wake up so soon..."


    "The universe is about to undergo another cleansing."


    Old Kai''s face aged a lot, and he muttered to himself alone.


    Kibito Kai noticed Old Kai''s helplessness. He didn''t understand why his ancestor was so in awe of the God of Destruction.


    Wasn''t the position of their Supreme Kai equal to that of the God of Destruction?


    "Ancestor, excuse me for being blunt, but is the God of Destruction really that terrifying?"


    "Or is it that, looking at the entire universe, it is impossible to find an existence that can contend with the God of Destruction?"


    Kibito Kai asked the question in his heart. However, as soon as he said this, he was met with Old Kai''s disdainful gaze and a scolding filled with disappointment.


    "Idiot, have you lived all these years in vain?!"


    "Remember, the terror of the God of Destruction cannot be evaluated by strength. If you had to compare, then Majin Buu, who is so powerful in your heart that you can''t fight him, is just a weak ant in front of the God of Destruction." Old Kai finished in one breath, scolding Kibito Kai.


    The title of God of Destruction meant standing at the top of the universe, without any controversy, especially the name God of Destruction Beerus, which represented the top of the top!


    "Then what about Goku? Can''t even he beat the God of Destruction?!" Kibito Kai asked.


    Being asked this question, Old Kai was silent for a moment before sighing weakly, "Let me put it this way, even if Goku is ten times stronger, he can''t be a match for God of Destruction Beerus."


    These were Old Kai''s true feelings.


    He did hope that Goku was stronger than God of Destruction Beerus, but the reality was so cruel.


    The terror of the God of Destruction was far from what a warrior could compare to.


    Even if Goku had the potential to surpass the God of Destruction, he would need a lot of time to develop it.

 Chapter 19: The God of Destructions Expectations!

    Once Old Kai used Goku as an example, Kibito Kai suddenly understood and realized just how terrifying the God of Destruction truly was.


    The current number one warrior in the universe was merely an ant in front of the God of Destruction...!!


    ...


    In the realm of the Gods of Destruction,


    Due to excessive morning grumpiness, God of Destruction Beerus, covered in the dust from the explosions, was washing the fur on his body in his bathhouse.


    While enjoying the soothing hot water, Beerus asked Whis about the recent happenings in the universe and how his designated God of Destruction''s proxy, Frieza, had been doing lately.


    Having planned to destroy Frieza the next time they met, Beerus was told by Whis that Frieza had been killed before he could, and the overstimulated God of Destruction Beerus fell straight from the bathtub.


    It took him a while to calm down.


    Although Frieza was just an ant in his eyes, and there were many in this vast universe who could kill Frieza, he was still shocked when Frieza was actually killed by someone else.


    Moreover, Whis told him a very important piece of information: the one who killed Frieza was the Saiyan who had survived the planet-destroying catastrophe.


    "Whis, are you sure it was a Saiyan who killed Frieza? Those wild monkeys, even if the entire race went together, couldn''t be a match for Frieza, right?" Beerus suspected that he had misheard.


    In his memory, Saiyans were just a group of wild monkeys with well-developed limbs, simple minds, and low combat power.


    Even if the entire race went together, they shouldn''t be able to kill Frieza.


    Yet, this impossible thing had become a reality.


    "You''ll understand after you see this, Lord Beerus." Whis waved his angel''s staff, and the light projected from the black magic ball at the top of the staff formed a light curtain.


    The scene playing on this light curtain was exactly the scene of Goku fighting Frieza on Namek.


    "Golden hair? Whis, are you sure you''re not mistaken?!"


    "Can''t Saiyans only turn into giant apes? How did they suddenly turn into golden-haired people?"


    Beerus rested his right hand on his cheek, glanced at Whis, and asked with confusion.


    "In recent years, the Saiyans have somehow mutated. They have discovered the power of their bloodline within their bodies and can transform on their own."


    Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.


    "The golden-haired state you see now is called Super Saiyan."


    Whis explained meaningfully to God of Destruction Beerus.


    "Super Saiyan?" Beerus kept repeating the name, his expression gradually becoming serious.


    For some reason, he felt that the name Super Saiyan was a little familiar. At the same time, an unpleasant figure flashed through his mind.


    It was because that guy appeared in his dream that he didn''t even feel comfortable sleeping.


    The Super Saiyan he just mentioned seemed to have some connection with the guy in his dream.


    "Not only that." Whis changed the picture on the light curtain again, showing the Saiyan forms from different periods.


    The light curtain showed the scene of Goku and Vegeta fighting in Super Saiyan 2 form four years ago.


    Then the picture kept changing, becoming the scene of Goku fighting Majin Buu in Super Saiyan 3 form.


    Finally, it was the scene of Goku breaking through to Super Saiyan 4.


    So many transformation scenes aroused Beerus''s interest, especially the last Super Saiyan 4, the wild power of which even aroused his interest as a God of Destruction.


    "Whis, are these different transformations also Super Saiyan?" Beerus asked with a slight smile.


    "Yes, according to the naming method of the Saiyans, they are called Super Saiyan 1st Grade to Super Saiyan 4th Grade in order."


    "The transformation you saw at the beginning was Super Saiyan 1st Grade, and the last one with the biggest image change is called Super Saiyan 4th Grade."


    Whis said slowly.


    "Super Saiyan 1st Grade... and Super Saiyan 4th Grade? What a tongue-twisting name."


    "But these names are somewhat similar to the guy in my dream, but I don''t know what the connection is."


    "How annoying, they''re all such long names."


    A faint light flashed in Beerus''s deep eyes, and he said with a calm tone.


    At this time, Whis narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly on his face, saying with a light smile: "Lord Beerus, could the person in your dream be the formidable enemy that the Oracle Fish mentioned thirty-seven years ago, the Super Saiyan God?!"


    "That''s right, it''s the Super Saiyan God!" With Whis''s reminder, Beerus immediately remembered the full name of the person in his dream and hurriedly confirmed.


    "One is Super Saiyan 4th Grade, and the other is Super Saiyan God. There must be a connection between them."


    "Whis, where are the remaining Saiyans?"


    Beerus couldn''t wait to uncover the true identity of the Super Saiyan God.


    "Returning to Lord Beerus, the surviving Saiyans now live in the North Galaxy, on a blue planet called Earth." Whis said expressionlessly.


    "Earth, huh? Pack up the bento and take a trip to Earth."


    "This God wants to see if the so-called Super Saiyan God actually exists!"


    Beerus stood up from the bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel, and walked towards the closet.


    ...


    The scene changed.


    On Earth,


    People had become accustomed to a peaceful life, unaware that a huge crisis was quietly approaching.


    Today was Bulma''s birthday, and to celebrate, Bulma invited Z Fighters from all over the world to attend her birthday party.


    As the richest person on Earth, Bulma''s birthday party was incredibly huge. A super-giant luxury cruise ship with the Capsule Corporation logo was sailing on the sea.


    Z Fighters from all over the world had received Bulma''s invitation and came to the cruise ship.


    Goku, Gohan, Goten, Chi-Chi, Ox-King.


    Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Launch, Krillin, Android 18, Marron, Master Roshi, Turtle, Yamcha.


    Videl, Hercule, Majin Buu.


    Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Popo.


    Korin, Yajirobe.


    Everyone arrived as scheduled. The partners hadn''t seen each other for a long time, and they were each telling their life and experiences over the years.


    ...


    On the deck on the top floor of the luxury cruise ship,


    Goku and Vegeta, these destined rivals, met again.


    Their meeting was bound to spark a fire.


    "Long time no see, Vegeta," Goku greeted, meeting Vegeta''s eyes.


    "It has indeed been a long time, Kakarot," Vegeta said with his arms crossed, as cool as ever.

 Chapter 20: The God of Destruction Descends!

    After a year apart, the two had undergone significant changes.


    Goku''s eyes were blazing as he meticulously scrutinized Vegeta, taking in every change in the other man.


    Vegeta, in turn, focused his sharp gaze on Goku, also noticing the changes in him.


    "It seems you''ve been training more diligently than I have, Vegeta."


    "If I''m not mistaken, you should have taken that step as well, right?"


    Goku''s face broke into a warm smile, genuinely happy for his old friend.


    "Hmph! I can''t always be behind you, Kakarot. Super Saiyan 4 is nothing more than a stepping stone. I''ll find my own way to achieve it."


    "It seems that you have also become stronger in the past year, Kakarot."


    Vegeta''s cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he released an invisible pressure, testing Goku''s strength with the intention of probing.


    Faced with Vegeta''s proactive probing, Goku also released a little of his own aura to disrupt Vegeta''s energy field.


    "Although I''d love to fight you, we should restrain ourselves, after all, this is Bulma''s birthday party."


    "Even if we do fight, it has to be after the party ends."


    Goku proposed, suppressing the anticipation in his heart.


    Vegeta didn''t say anything but silently withdrew his aura. He didn''t have any intention of fighting Goku right now.


    After all, it was his wife''s birthday party, and he, as a husband, wouldn''t do such a foolish thing.


    "But on another note, I have a question to ask you." Goku leaned in close to Vegeta''s ear and asked cautiously, "How old is Bulma turning today exactly?"


    "What are you asking that for?" Vegeta frowned, looking at Goku in confusion.


    Honestly, he didn''t know how old Bulma was turning today either.


    "I''m just a little curious, or do you not know either?" Goku asked with a smirk.


    "Hmph! I wouldn''t care about such trivial things," Vegeta said coolly.


    Just as the two were talking, an unforeseen event occurred.


    Outside Earth, a streak of light pierced through the Earth''s atmosphere and descended at a terrifying speed to the left of Goku and Vegeta.


    "What''s going on?" Goku instantly became vigilant.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    "What the hell is that?" Vegeta heightened his senses.


    The two''s sharp eyes watched the brilliant, colorful light. When the light dissipated, two people they had never seen before appeared in their sight.


    The newcomers were none other than the God of Destruction, Beerus, and the Angel, Whis.


    [Who are these two?!] Goku stared intently at the two, his mind filled with turmoil.


    In his memory, these two had never existed.


    Goku became even more serious, locking his sharp gaze on Beerus and Whis, expanding his senses.


    If he hadn''t sensed them, it would have been fine, but as soon as he did, he was shocked.


    [This is... Godly Ki? Such pure Godly Ki!] The result left Goku in awe.


    Ever since he had obtained the Godly Ki training method from Old Kai a year ago, he hadn''t been lazy and had been using this method to train.


    To this day, he had cultivated Godly Ki within his body.


    But these two guys who suddenly appeared had even purer Godly Ki than him.


    [Could they be gods? Gods I''ve never seen before.] Goku thought gravely in his heart.


    Unlike Goku''s confusion, Vegeta''s eyes were blank and his expression was shocked when he saw these two.


    In his mind, a memory that had been buried for a long time surged like a tide.


    Vegeta entered his memory, seeing his father being stepped on by God of Destruction Beerus, constantly threatening him to find the best pillow in the universe.


    At that time, he was young and didn''t understand the terror of the God of Destruction. He wanted to rescue his father, but he was frightened to the ground by a single look from the other party, unable to move.


    Since then, the terror of God of Destruction Beerus had been deeply imprinted in his mind.


    His body''s instincts had buried this memory deep in his mind. Now, with the personal arrival of God of Destruction Beerus, this memory that he least wanted to recall had been unearthed.


    "God of Destruction Beerus!" Vegeta''s eyes were filled with ferocity, revealing a cold, piercing chill.


    "God of Destruction Beerus, Vegeta, you know this guy?!" Goku turned his head and asked in disbelief.


    In his past life, he had never heard Vegeta mention any God of Destruction or anything like that, nor had there been any appearance of a God of Destruction.


    Could it be that this world he was reborn into was different from his previous world?


    "It''s been decades since we last met. The Saiyan prince who was scared to the ground by just a look from me back then has grown up now," Beerus said with a sneer, in a condescending tone.


    "Hmph... I was just a child back then, but the shame you brought to my Saiyan race, I will never forget it, Beerus!" Vegeta''s attitude was very firm, his eyes cold and sharp.


    Back then, his father, his people, including him, had been toyed with by God of Destruction Beerus. This was a national disgrace that he could never forget.


    As the Saiyan Prince, he had to regain the dignity that had been lost.


    "King Vegeta had a good son."


    "Thinking back to those years, your father was just a humble servant in front of this God."


    "Now, his son has more backbone than him, but, Vegeta, I have to remind you that God of Destruction is very terrifying!"


    God of Destruction Beerus smirked, and in an instant, the pressure of the God of Destruction was released.


    A very strange feeling enveloped Vegeta and Goku''s hearts, a feeling they had never felt before.


    As a God of Destruction, every move represents destruction. His pressure, his terror, any living thing would instinctively feel fear and give up the idea of resistance.


    But that was only for the weak.


    The strong fear no one, not even gods!!


    Goku and Vegeta were not affected in any way by the pressure exerted by God of Destruction Beerus.


    "As a God of Destruction, you''re being too rude. If you want to fight, I''m willing to go all the way," Goku''s face turned cold, and he had defined the God of Destruction Beerus in front of him as an enemy.


    "Arrogant Saiyan, just because you defeated Frieza, that worthless trash, you think you can contend with the God of Destruction?"


    "How naive!"


    God of Destruction Beerus sneered at Goku. In his eyes, Goku was just a wild monkey with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

 Chapter 21: Conflict Erupts, Vegetas Wrath!

    As a God of Destruction, he completely disregarded Goku and Vegeta.


    Ignoring Goku, he shifted his gaze to Vegeta.


    "Vegeta, now that this God is here, what are you waiting for?"


    "Could it be that you''ve been scared witless by this God? Do you dare to make a move?"


    Beerus''s condescending attitude completely dismissed Vegeta.


    This disdainful demeanor fueled Goku''s anger even more.


    "Hmph~! Don''t think I''m the same as I was back then, Beerus."


    "I, Vegeta! Am the Prince of Saiyans!!!"


    Enraged, Vegeta let out a hysterical roar, his face contorted in fury. He just wanted Beerus to pay the price.


    His muscles tensed, veins popped on his forehead, and S-Cells within his body, driven by his will, converged towards the center of his back before exploding in an instant.


    ''Boom!!!!!'' With the explosion of energy, Vegeta''s battle power reached a new level.


    A powerful golden aura rapidly rose from Vegeta''s feet, spreading throughout his body, and waves of shockwaves spread out, the violent power reaching the highest heavens.


    This sudden eruption immediately caught the attention of everyone on the cruise ship.


    People stopped talking, their eyes shifting to the same spot.


    At this moment, Vegeta had transformed into a Super Saiyan 1st Grade Full Power state, and his terrifying aura erupted without any reservation.


    "A very powerful aura, and his battle power has also increased a lot. If I remember correctly, this form is called... Super Saiyan, right?" Beerus said with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.


    Vegeta''s power was strong now, but not strong enough.


    This level of battle power was not enough for him, the God of Destruction, to take a second look.


    This arrogant and indifferent appearance made Vegeta''s anger surge.


    "Stop putting on airs, Beerus!! I''ll make sure you can''t look down on anyone anymore!!!" With a roar, Vegeta launched an attack directly.


    In 0.1 seconds, he dashed in front of God of Destruction Beerus, mobilizing all the power in his body and throwing a heavy punch towards Beerus''s face.


    "Admirable courage, daring to attack this God." Beerus''s expression turned cold.


    When Vegeta''s fist was only 1 centimeter away from Beerus''s face, Beerus moved.


    This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    His speed was unimaginably fast. While dodging Vegeta''s attack, he quietly came behind Vegeta.


    This sudden turn of events shocked Goku. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Get out of the way! Vegeta!!!"


    Vegeta was shocked and used the power of his legs to jump into the air.


    But the moment he acted, Beerus followed, catching up to Vegeta at an even faster speed.


    "Where did that guy go?" Vegeta looked around, finding that God of Destruction Beerus had disappeared.


    "Vegeta, that guy''s behind you!!!" Goku shouted loudly to Vegeta from the cruise ship.


    "What?!" Sensing that something was wrong, Vegeta was about to act when he felt something on his shoulder.


    "You overestimate yourself, kid. Daring to attack this God, you certainly have admirable courage, but you seem to have forgotten that God of Destruction is very terrifying." God of Destruction Beerus said with a mocking smile, with one hand on Vegeta''s right shoulder.


    "What''s the joke?!" Vegeta, unable to endure any longer, let out an angry roar and forcibly forced God of Destruction Beerus back with a return punch.


    The attack missed again, which made Vegeta realize that he could not touch God of Destruction Beerus with the power of Super Saiyan 1st Grade alone.


    Without hesitation, he switched to the Super Saiyan 2nd Grade maximum form, lightning crackling around him, his aura even more terrifying, and his battle power underwent a qualitative sublimation.


    "Hmm? The form has changed again, and the battle power has also been significantly improved. It seems that you surviving Saiyans have also improved a lot."


    "I remember, this form of yours is called Super Saiyan 2nd Grade, right? The strength isn''t great, but the name is quite tongue-twisting."


    God of Destruction Beerus had his hands behind his back, still with that condescending posture.


    In his eyes, there was no difference between Vegeta in Super Saiyan 1st Grade form or Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2nd Grade form.


    "Shut up!!!" Vegeta, who had exploded again, charged towards God of Destruction Beerus at full speed.


    "A kid who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth." Seeing this, God of Destruction Beerus''s eyes turned cold, perfectly dodging Vegeta''s attack and hitting Vegeta''s abdomen with a knee thrust from the side.


    ''Bang!!!'' A thrilling sound of flesh exploded, and the space trembled for a moment.


    A burst of severe pain exploded in Vegeta''s abdomen, and an unimaginable force spread from his abdomen to his entire body, knocking him back more than ten meters.


    Stabilizing his body, Vegeta glared at God of Destruction Beerus, gritting his teeth, enduring the pain in his abdomen.


    Being played by Beerus one after another made the anger in Vegeta''s heart even greater.


    But this time, he did not act rashly.


    The probing confrontation just now had made him understand the terror of God of Destruction Beerus.


    He was not someone who could be easily defeated.


    On the luxury cruise ship,


    Everyone looked up at the battle in the sky, feeling a little confused for a moment.


    Who was that long-eared cat with purple skin?! He actually repelled Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2nd Grade form, so his strength was extraordinary.


    As the organizer of the birthday party, Bulma was dumbfounded.


    With her eyesight, she could naturally see that the two people who suddenly appeared were not Earthlings.


    Was she really so unlucky that Earth was facing a crisis just when she was holding a birthday party?


    "Who is that guy? He can actually suppress Vegeta...!!" Krillin, one of the Z Fighters, looked at the battle in the sky and exclaimed in fear.


    "I can''t sense their ki... There''s no ki on these two people...!!" Gohan''s expression gradually became serious. As the third strongest warrior on Earth, his perception was very keen.


    Although he hadn''t undergone high-intensity training in recent years, he hadn''t neglected training either. His strength had not only not regressed, but had returned to its peak.


    His battle instincts told him that these two people had an extraordinary identity. The invisible pressure they exuded was something he had never felt before.


    [Who are these two? I can''t sense their ki, but the pressure on them... is even more terrifying than the Supreme Kai... Could it be that they are gods?!] Piccolo, who had once been half-Earthling and half-God, realized a terrifying possibility.


    These two guys who suddenly descended on Earth were gods! Gods comparable to the Supreme Kai, or even higher in position than the Supreme Kai!
