Mount Paozu.
For the entire day, Talot, Salari, and Raditz spent their time playing with Kakarot.
Now that they were back on Earth, there was no need to live like before.
In simple terms, since they had returned, they should take a good rest, strike balance training and leisure, and, incidentally, strengthen their bonds.
It must be said that Goku was really lively and cheerful at this time.
When Talot saw Goku’s restrained and cautious demeanor during their meeting yesterday, he was worried that Goku might become different from his original work’s character.
However, after spending the day together, Talot realized that this was just an instinctive reaction of the body, and not because Goku had become timid.
After all, how old was Goku now?
To put it another way, when a person has someone to rely on, they will instinctively seek protection in the face of unexpected situations.
In the original work, Goku had lived alone for many years, and because he had no one to rely on, he became braver in the face of anything—it was all developed through experience.
…
Without them noticing, night fell again.
The night was quiet. Talot, Gine, Salari, Raditz, Goku, and Son Gohan gathered around the bonfire, happily enjoying the evening meal.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, especially Goku, who was particularly lively.
“Hey~! The moon tonight is so round.” Suddenly, Goku’s words caused everyone to freeze.
Son Gohan didn’t know the reason, but seeing how tense everyone had become, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
After confirming that the full moon in the sky met certain conditions, the others quickly lowered their heads.
“Close your eyes, Kakarot!” Gine, while lowering her own head, urgently tried to stop Goku from continuing to gaze at the moon.
But unfortunately, it was already too late.
After just staring at the full moon for a while, Goku’s pupils suddenly turned a deep red, and his entire body froze in place, as if he had lost all self-awareness.
The Blutz waves released by the full moon had reached over 17 million units. As Goku’s body reacted, his tail immediately became active, resonating.
The Saiyan blood sleeping within Goku’s body began to boil and stir.
From his small body, a very clear heartbeat could be heard, which was particularly shocking.
This was a sign of Great Ape transformation!
Talot immediately realized what was happening and sighed.
He truly hadn’t expected Kakarot to undergo the Great Ape transformation at this moment.
In the original work, Goku had transformed into a Great Ape after waking up to relieve himself and accidentally seeing the full moon, resulting in him crushing Son Gohan to death.
Judging from the current situation, if they hadn’t been here, Son Gohan might have been crushed to death in the next few years.
“It seems like the Great Ape transformation is unavoidable. Everyone, step back a bit. Let’s see if Kakarot can control his consciousness after transforming.” Talot said to the group, but he himself didn’t move.
Given his strength, even if Kakarot transformed into a Great Ape, he posed no threat.
After all, with Kakarot’s power level of 50, even a tenfold increase would only bring it to 500.
Among those present, aside from Son Gohan, even Gine had the strength to handle it.
Over the years, Gine’s strength hadn’t declined; in fact, it had improved somewhat, with her power level reaching 2,500.
Compared to a few years ago, this was an increase of 1,000 points.
It was clear that although Gine had been by Kakarot’s side all this time, she had also been training regularly. Otherwise, her strength would not have increased—it would have only declined.
It must be said that because she was no longer with Talot and lacked his guidance, even with her training, Gine’s strength had only reached this level.
Still, this was quite an achievement. After all, if this level of strength is placed in the early stages of the Z era, she could easily crush the original work’s Raditz.
“Kakarot has never seen a full moon before, so he has never undergone the Great Ape transformation. As a low-class warrior, he will definitely lose his rationality during his first transformation,” Gine said anxiously.
“Great Ape transformation? You Saiyans can transform when you see the moon?” Son Gohan asked in surprise.
The others nodded simultaneously. Worried about potential accidents, Talot said to Son Gohan, “After we Saiyans undergo the Great Ape transformation, our strength increases significantly. With our power, we’ll be fine, so you must stay close to us.”
Hearing the reminder, Son Gohan immediately moved closer.
Although he was old, he wasn’t foolish. Seeing the changes now, he had already guessed what might happen.
Nearby, Salari and Raditz were relatively calm. In fact, Raditz was somewhat looking forward to his younger brother’s Great Ape transformation.
“I’m also a low-class warrior! Back then, it took me a lot of effort to control my Great Ape transformation, and I only managed it with Brother Talot’s help. I wonder how Kakarot will fare?” Salari said, the scene bringing back some memories.
“Kakarot will probably struggle to control it. After all, he’s the most ordinary Saiyan, with the lowest birth power level in history. He’s fundamentally different from us,” Raditz remarked.
Even at this point, after so many years of change, he still believed his younger brother couldn’t achieve that miraculous transformation.
Back then, even he almost lost control the first time he transformed into a Great Ape.
“Although Kakarot was born with a low power level, his talent isn’t bad. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to increase his power level to 50 in just five or six years! That’s a 25-fold increase!” Talot said to Raditz.
A 25-fold increase is something that none of them could have come close to achieving.
Take Talot and Raditz, for example. Born with a power level of 200, after five years, they had only reached 1,000 and 500, respectively.
So, even though his starting point is low, it didn’t mean his achievements would be low too.
Even if the difficulty of improvement varies with different levels of strength, this fact remains unchanged.
Raditz suddenly understood; watching his younger brother grow bigger, he began to ponder deeply.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Kakarot’s Great Ape transformation began…
As his body grew larger, his clothes tore apart, and black fur sprouted from his fair skin, covering Goku’s entire body.
In just a dozen seconds, Goku had transformed into a massive, black-furred Great Ape, standing dozens of meters tall.
“ROOOOAR~~!!!” A roar filled with boundless savagery and destructiveness erupted from Great Ape Goku’s mouth.
At this moment, Great Ape Goku had lost all reason, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty red glow.
Without consciousness, completely overtaken by savagery, Goku could only act on his primal urges.
Brutality and destruction radiated from Goku’s aura!!
“As expected, he’s completely out of control. His power level has reached 500, a tenfold increase, similar to our Great Ape transformation,” Salari said, pressing a button on her scouter to check Great Ape Goku’s numbers.
“We need to get Kakarot back to normal quickly, or this place will be destroyed,” Gine said, preparing to cut off Goku’s tail.
But before she could act, Raditz stepped forward first: “Let me handle it, Mom.”
As he approached, Great Ape Goku noticed him and immediately stomped his massive foot down on Raditz.
“Take a good nap. When there is an opportunity, I’ll help you adapt to the Great Ape transformation, so you can at least keep your rationality after transforming,” As soon as he said these words, Raditz immediately vanished from his spot, appearing in the blink of an eye behind Great Ape Goku.
THUD!!! Raditz’s hand struck Great Ape Goku’s neck.
With the absolute difference in strength, Raditz used less than a tenth of his power to knock out the rampaging Great Ape Goku.
Finally, all that was left was to cut off the tail and return Kakarot to his normal form.
In truth, they could have waited for the full moon to disappear, but that would take too long.
Besides, the tail would grow back quickly after being cut off, so there was no need to worry about the future.
As they watched the unconscious Goku, the group began discussing among themselves.
Talot, after answering a few things, fell into deep thought.
Goku’s sudden Great Ape transformation had reminded him of the Saiyan’s final transformation.
Super Saiyan 4!!!
Although Super Saiyan 4 was still far beyond his current reach, focusing on guiding the power of his bloodline was undoubtedly the right path to take.
