"This transformation is a primal power that all Saiyans possessing a tail can unleash."
In the video, the narrator's voice resonated once more, bridging the gap between dimensions. "In truth, only three Saiyans have ever been documented undergoing the Great Ape transformation. The first, as history shows, was Son Goku."
As the narration continued, the imagery shifted. "The second Saiyan to undergo this metamorphosis was Son Goku's own son, Gohan." The scene transitioned to a rugged wilderness where a four-year-old Gohan had been left alone by Piccolo to survive the harsh elements. Under the silver glow of the night sky, the young child accidentally locked eyes with the full moon.
The reaction was instantaneous. The same biological trigger that once plagued his father took hold, and Gohan's body swelled with violent Ki, expanding into a towering, fur-clad Great Ape. Just like Goku before him, Gohan lost all semblance of reason, his primal instincts driving him to wreak havoc upon the landscape.
Watching this unfold, Piccolo was struck with astonishment. Recalling the legends of Saiyan power peaks during a lunar cycle, he realized the moon was the catalyst. Acting with cold efficiency, he gathered Ki into his palm and unleashed a searing energy wave into the heavens. For the second time in history, the moon was reduced to stardust.
"Some viewers may be confused as to why the moon, previously destroyed by Master Roshi, has returned," the narrator added, preempting the flood of questions from the multiverse. "The truth is that Kami restored the moon once before, only for it to be destroyed again by Piccolo."
This revelation sent shockwaves through the various worlds watching the broadcast.
"Kami? Does this Dragon Ball world actually possess a real god?" Duanmu Yan wondered aloud, his tactical mind racing.
Li Xinnan frowned, considering the power levels involved. "Could it just be a powerful alien? Someone who appears divine simply because of the scale of their power compared to Earthlings?"
"I see," Horii mused, drawing a parallel to his own reality. "It's like how an Ultraman is no different from a god to us ordinary humans. But a literal deity? That seems unlikely."
Li Haotian added his perspective: "To many, the Netherworld Demons are indistinguishable from gods because they perform feats beyond human comprehension. It's often a matter of perspective."
For those living in materialistic or technologically driven societies—even those accustomed to Ultramen, Armored Warriors, or supernatural beasts—the concept of a literal 'God of Earth' was difficult to swallow. They viewed Kami as nothing more than a high-tier extraterrestrial capable of reality-warping feats.
However, the inhabitants of the Dragon Ball world quickly interjected.
"No, Kami is a true deity," Krillin typed urgently. "He is the guardian of our entire planet."
"That's right," Tien Shinhan added. "We even traveled to the Lookout for training and stood in the presence of the true Kami."
"Krillin, Tien! Have you both already met him?" Goku's message appeared, filled with his trademark enthusiasm.
"Yes, Goku. We followed your lead and received training under his guidance," Krillin confirmed.
Despite their testimony, many viewers from the Wanjie Multiverse remained skeptical. They were far more interested in the third Saiyan mentioned by the narrator. Their curiosity was soon rewarded as the screen flickered to a new battlefield.
"Besides Son Goku and Gohan, the third Saiyan to achieve the Great Ape form is none other than the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta," the narrator announced. "A man who began his journey as an arrogant, cruel, and inhumane conqueror, only to later evolve into a protector driven by his humanity."
The scene shifted to the legendary scorched-earth battle between Goku and Vegeta. The footage showed Goku, his body literally breaking down under the strain of a quadruple Kaioken, successfully pushing back Vegeta's devastating Galick Gun with a massive Kamehameha.
Infuriated that a 'low-class' warrior could match his royal blood, Vegeta lost his composure. He decided to end the fight by transforming, but discovered the moon was missing. Suspecting Goku had destroyed it to rob him of his advantage, Vegeta revealed a terrifying secret: high-level Saiyans could generate an artificial moon.
Sacrificing a significant portion of his Ki, Vegeta hurled a Power Ball into the atmosphere. As he bathed in the artificial Blutz Waves, his body erupted into a massive form. Unlike Goku or Gohan, Vegeta's specialized Saiyan Battle Armor expanded with him, and more importantly, he retained his full consciousness and tactical brilliance.
The Great Ape Vegeta relentlessly pressured Goku, who was forced into a desperate retreat. Knowing his only hope was the Spirit Bomb taught to him by King Kai, Goku used a blinding Solar Flare to buy precious seconds. He retreated to a distance to gather the life energy of Earth, but Vegeta's recovery was too swift.
The giant ape found him, pounced, and systematically crushed Goku's legs before seizing him in a massive grip. The sound of Goku's bones shattering and his agonizing screams echoed across the dimensions, causing viewers from every world to shiver in sympathetic horror.
Krillin, Yamcha, and the others watched with trembling hands. They had fought alongside Goku since childhood, but they had never heard him scream in such genuine, bone-chilling pain. Then, a chilling realization dawned on them.
"Wait... is this the battle against the Saiyans?" Krillin asked, his text shaking. "But they haven't arrived yet. They're still a year away! Is this video showing us the future?"
"It has to be," Tien Shinhan replied, his tone grim. "Goku is fighting that prince right now in the video, but it hasn't happened here yet. This is a spoiler of things to come."
"But is it real? Is this truly our fate?" Yamcha wondered, a cold sweat breaking out.
Piccolo's comment cut through the panic with brutal logic: "If this footage is true, then the fact that Goku is fighting this Saiyan alone can only mean one thing. It means the rest of us are already dead."
A heavy, suffocating silence fell over the warriors of Earth as they stared at the screen, contemplating the mortal sacrifice that seemingly awaited them.
