"Speaking of which, ever since I mastered this transformation, this is actually the first time I'll be using it in a battle. I've let you grow for so long, and you truly haven't disappointed me. Now open your eyes wide and watch closely!!"
As the words fell, a golden light flashed in Talot's eyes, and the power of the Great Ape erupted out violently.
'BOOM~~!!!' A peerless golden energy pillar suddenly shot up from the ground, piercing straight into the sky.
The raging, wild aura swept in all directions. This ever-expanding aura caused Golden Frieza's expression to change.
No! This monkey really does have a hidden card.
The power of the Great Ape continued to gush out. Bathed in golden radiance, Talot's body began to undergo an astonishing transformation.
His whole body expanded with a dull rumble, and his appearance shifted toward that of a beast.
The energy pool of Super Saiyan 4 exploded in full, the ever-expanding shockwaves unleashing a cataclysmic storm that swept across the entire far north.
Those unique golden particles floated everywhere as Talot, engulfed in golden light, completed his final metamorphosis.
Crimson-gold pupils, a wild body covered in blood-red fur, long flowing black hair…
That's right! This was the powerful Super Saiyan 4.
Both energy consumption, power and speed welcomed a comprehensive upgrade.
The instant Super Saiyan 4 appeared, the world itself trembled, and all things seemed to fall still.
Every being outside the battlefield was shaken by Talot's new state.
They had guessed right. Talot truly had a trump card left. His aura's intensity was on an entirely different level compared to the Super Saiyan 3 from just moments ago.
Golden Frieza, in contrast, was no longer as arrogant as before; instead, a deep wariness filled his expression.
Talot's transformation this time was simply too great.
"It's been so, so long since I've taken this form. This power really does bring back memories." Talot stretched his limbs, his eyes sharp as blades, radiating unshakable confidence.
The power of the Great Ape erupted fully, and all the wounds he had sustained in battle were completely healed. His strength had returned to its peak.
No! He had surpassed that peak.
Furthermore, because of his battle with Frieza and his mastery of Super Saiyan Stage 3, his Super Saiyan 4 had advanced even further.
The mighty power of the Great Ape coursed rapidly through his body. Converted into power level, his strength had now reached hundred billion!
No! It had even surpassed the "billion" scale, reaching the trillion level!
That overwhelming wild aura expanded outward, colliding head-on with Golden Frieza's oppressive aura.
Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan 4 Talot faced each other, the atmosphere growing heavier and more terrifying by the moment.
Golden Frieza sized up Super Saiyan 4 Talot, gauging his approximate strength.
Super Saiyan 4 Talot likewise studied Golden Frieza, guarding against his every move.
Time ticked by, second after second, with neither side making the first move.
After a long stalemate, Golden Frieza suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hohohoho~~~!!! So this is your hidden trump card? Going from a blonde-haired monkey to a red-furred monkey…..it's nothing special." Golden Frieza sneered mockingly.
With just a few glances, he had already estimated Talot's Super Saiyan 4 strength.
Strong, yes, but absolutely not enough to be a match for his golden form.
"Come to think of it, your Saiyan transformations before this all looked quite righteous, but this form of yours now looks far more sinister than even I, the emperor of the universe." Frieza chuckled lightly, his taunts unending. "But then again, that makes sense. You Saiyans have never been anything good. You've destroyed countless planets, and slaughtered endless lives."
Hearing Frieza's criticism, Talot smirked disdainfully: "I've never claimed to be some 'good person,' have I? In this world, it's always survival of the fittest! When we were weak, you toyed with us. But now that we are strong, you are nothing but an ant in my eyes."
Talot was not the Goku from the original work, so he could not say those kinds of philosophical words.
He only knew that in the Dragon Ball world, whoever is strongest is the one who made the rules.
Take God of Destruction Beerus, for example—did he destroy only a few planets and lives? Was he really someone who always acted reasonably?
Of course not. It was only because he was a God of Destruction, because he was strong enough, that whatever he said became truth!
"Hmph! Sharp tongue!" Frieza sneered coldly, the aura burning around him growing even denser.
"Stop wasting words. Who's strong and who's weak, we'll know after a fight." Talot, unwilling to talk further, assumed a battle stance, ready to strike at any moment.
"Then… go to hell!!" Golden Frieza casually launched a Death Beam.
Talot dared not be careless and countered with a Spiral Beam.
'BOOM~~~!!!' A deafening explosion erupted, the blaze stretching for dozens of kilometers, shaking the planet.
At the same time, Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan 4 Talot moved together, two golden streaks breaking through the exploding flames and colliding head-on.
The instant they clashed, an unmatched shockwave of destruction swept across the land, expanding for a thousand miles, making the entire Earth tremble.
The fierce battle had erupted!
Golden Frieza's movements were impossible to predict, his attacks vicious and merciless, every strike aimed at Talot's vital points. And after transforming into his golden form, his fighting style had improved yet again.
His offense left no openings and no wasted movement. Combined with the overwhelming power output of his golden form, even with the boost of Super Saiyan 4, Talot temporarily fell into disadvantage.
An unprecedented pressure pressed down on him, making Talot inwardly acknowledge the terror of Golden Frieza.
But his Super Saiyan 4 was not weak!!
"What a feisty red-furred monkey! To think you can withstand so many of my attacks. Let's see just how many more you can take!" Golden Frieza let out a sinister laugh, and suddenly exerted force, the crimson-gold aura around his body blazing fiercely as he threw a lightning-fast Death Raid.
'BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
The unparalleled force of the impact, carrying an overwhelmingly domineering pressure, was something Talot could effortlessly block with just a raise of his hand.
The extreme force from their punches caused the wasteland beneath their feet to collapse and sink, transforming into a hundred-meter-wide crater.
Outside the battlefield, everyone except Raditz was blasted away by the violent storm, suffering no small amount of injury.
The weaker ones—Nappa, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, and Yamcha—were knocked unconscious outright.
The battle raged on. Golden Frieza gritted his teeth, pouring out more power, attempting to overwhelm Talot with sheer strength.
But when has Super Saiyan 4 ever lost in raw power?
No matter how much power Golden Frieza unleashed, Talot resisted it. The power of the Great Ape within his body surged wildly, becoming more and more ferocious and terrifying.
"Frieza, it seems your golden form is nothing much after all. With this level of power level, you cannot do a thing to me!!" Talot sneered coldly, mocking as he looked at the Golden Frieza before him, who was constantly erupting with power.
