King Yemma of the Other World.
The Grand Kai and the group of Kais on the Grand Kai's Planet.
The old Supreme Kai, the East Supreme Kai, and Kibito in the Sacred World of the Kai.
The moment the battle came to an end, each of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The battle that would decide the future of the universe had finally concluded.
...
On Earth.
In the far north, which had long since been completely destroyed.
Talot stood upon the ground as the victor. Behind him, Raditz came running eagerly, with Goku and Nappa close behind. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu took a while to react after everything that had happened.
But where was the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta?
At this moment, he was still standing in daze, seriously contemplating what he should do next.
His spaceship had been destroyed in the battle.
Frieza Force's spaceships had also been destroyed.
Now, his situation was quite awkward. He couldn't leave Earth… and given his personality, it was impossible for him to lower his head and ask Talot and the others to lend him a ship.
A peculiar thought began to form in Vegeta's mind.
Perhaps… he could stay on Earth for a while and look for an opportunity to break through.
"Talot, you b*stard, you're really not being fair! What's with this transformation? When did you even learn it?" Raditz strode up to Talot and gave him a punch to the chest.
Of course, that punch carried no power; it was simply a friendly gesture between them.
"Yeah, yeah! Brother Talot, what's this form called? It's so cool, so strong! Even that Frieza got taken down by you so easily!" Goku asked eagerly. What had happened today was something he would never forget.
The overwhelming power of Super Saiyan 4 filled him with longing. He didn't even dare to imagine how strong he might become if he achieved that transformation himself.
He now yearned for the future more than ever.
"This form looks kind of similar to our Saiyans' Great Ape transformation. Could there be some kind of connection between them?" Nappa's usually thick head was surprisingly sharp this time; he actually guessed right.
Super Saiyan 4 and the Great Ape form were indeed deeply connected.
As for Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Krillin standing behind them, they didn't even have the right to speak. They could only stand by silently, listening with their ears perked up.
In that brief moment, they realized that the era had completely changed…
No! It was that this world was far vaster than they could ever imagine. Something they couldn't come into contact with before, but now they have.
"Don't rush, I'll answer one by one. This form was achieved before I went to the Sacred World of the Kai. After transforming into a Great Ape under the full moon, I pushed that power even further and awakened a stronger version of it, I call it the Golden Great Ape. But following our usual naming conventions, I prefer to call it Super Saiyan 4! After all, this form is far stronger than even Super Saiyan 3." Talot explained to everyone.
Raditz: "Golden Great Ape?!"
Goku: "Super Saiyan 4?!"
The two brothers were completely stunned.
Without realizing it, Talot had already pulled so far ahead of them.
Still lingering between Super Saiyan 1 and Super Saiyan 2, the two of them, upon seeing Talot's Super Saiyan 4, felt a tremendous change in their hearts.
Powerlessness was inevitable, but as members of the fighting race, they would never be defeated by a mere obstacle like that. Instead, Talot's Super Saiyan 4 ignited in them an even greater hunger for strength, making them realize that the limits of a Saiyan were far beyond anything they had ever imagined.
"Super Saiyan… Golden Great Ape…" Nappa muttered under his breath, and in that instant, a bolt of lightning seemed to explode in his mind. A memory long buried deep within his consciousness surged forth.
He remembered the words that had been passed down through their race. Whenever the night of the full moon arrived, it was the time for Saiyans to display their true power.
So this… this was what that saying had truly meant!
The current Talot was the real bearer of the Saiyans' true power, while they themselves were nothing more than inferior imitators!
Didn't this mean that… Talot… was the founder of a new Saiyan era?
The true… Saiyan King!
As this thought arose, Nappa's heart wavered, and the dark thoughts he had long buried deep within were finally cast aside.
Perhaps… he should wholeheartedly devote himself to following the true Saiyan King!
Everyone harbored different thoughts in their hearts, but they all felt grateful that with the end of this battle, the once-chaotic Earth had finally regained its former peace.
Next, all they needed to do was gather the Dragon Balls and restore the damage Earth had suffered in the fight.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Just then, a sudden sound of applause came from behind them.
Everyone froze at the sound and turned toward its source, only to see a rotund, purple-skinned, long-eared, hairless cat-like being and a tall, beautiful woman dressed in the distinctive attire of a deity.
[It's… them???!! How could they be here?! What's going on?! ] Talot's mind was thrown into chaos, his heart even skipping a few beats in shock.
How could he possibly not recognize these two?
The God of Destruction of Universe 6, Champa, and the Angel Vados.
Why were they here, in Universe 7, and on Earth, no less?!
Suddenly, a flash of realization struck Talot's mind as a possibility dawned on him.
[Could it be… that the storyline has already begun?!] Talot roughly guessed the reason for the arrival of the God of Destruction Champa and the Angel Vados.
From the information he remembered from his previous life, there had been rumors that the two had been traveling back and forth between Universe 6 and Universe 7 in search of the Super Dragon Balls.
If his guess was correct, these two had likely come to Universe 7 to collect the Super Dragon Balls.
"The fight just now was quite entertaining. Your transformations are quite varied, kid, and your demeanor's not bad. As for your strength... it's passable, I suppose. At least I didn't come all this way for nothing." The God of Destruction Champa crossed his arms and spoke with extreme arrogance.
As the current pinnacle of the universe, there was no one, other than his brother, the God of Destruction Beerus, who could catch his eye.
His arrival on Earth this time had been nothing more than a whim, yet unexpectedly, he had witnessed a truly wonderful battle.
