“Serious?”
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Goku shook his head.
“Wake up, do you really think you can defeat me?”
“Hmm?”
Lin Chen furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.
Is Goku being overconfident? Who gave him the confidence to believe that I’m not his match?
Lin Chen crossed his arms, wearing an expression of amusement, waiting for Goku’s continuation.
“Lin Chen, I must admit that the Super Saiyan God is a powerful transformation, but you may not have noticed. This transformation is just an imitation of the aura of the gods.”
Hmm?
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
Goku’s perspective was somewhat new to him.
“Imitating the aura of the gods?”
“Yes. Your appearance, your aura, I can feel the resemblance to the Supreme Kai, and in the other worlds I’ve seen, it is even more similar to the auras of those gods called God of Destruction.”
“Your Super Saiyan God is actually just imitating their aura.”
“But Super Saiyan 4 is different! My power comes from the Saiyan blood within me! That’s the true way Saiyans should get stronger!”
“What?”
At this moment, Lin Chen seemed a bit puzzled.
Because he found that the words spoken by Goku actually made some sense.
The most vivid example would undoubtedly be Broly.
Broly, who still hadn’t achieved the transformation of Super Saiyan God, could easily overpower Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms, relying solely on the Legendary Super Saiyan form.
Seeing Lin Chen looking confused, Goku continued, “You come from another world, so I don’t know if in your world, Vegeta and the others have said such things…”
“In my world, when my older brother Raditz first came to Earth and saw that I no longer had a tail, he told me that the tail is the Saiyan’s power, something that should not be easily abandoned.”
“Vegeta also said that by giving up the tail, I was giving up the potential of a Saiyan.”
“Although they didn’t know about the existence of Super Saiyan 4 at that time, in the end, they were right. The ultimate potential of a Saiyan can indeed only be unlocked through the tail. Only it can let Saiyans truly master the Super Saiyan form!”
“Compared to your ethereal and false appearance that imitates the gods, Super Saiyan 4 is the true form of Saiyans!”
With a step, Goku left a deep dent in the ground and then, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, rushed towards Lin Chen.
Goku’s speed was as fast as if he had used Instant Transmission. However, this time, just as he was about to approach Lin Chen, Goku suddenly stopped in mid-air.
“Time Prison!”
Lin Chen froze the time around Goku, then easily walked up to him and delivered a punch.
Immediately, a loud sound echoed out as a bottomless crater appeared on the ground.
“What’s going on?”
When Goku floated up again, his face was filled with an incredulous expression.
Did time just stop around him?
How is that possible?
“You’re not mistaken.”
Lin Chen said, “Just now, time did stop for you.”
“How is that possible? Stopping time, that’s…”
Goku’s eyes widened, but before he could finish his sentence, Lin Chen interrupted him.
“Mortals cannot do it… is that what you wanted to say?”
“Kakarot, your view on Saiyan power might have some truth, but unfortunately, there’s one thing you got wrong.”
“You say my form is an imitation of a god? No, I’m not imitating; my power has already reached the realm of gods!”
Bang!
Lin Chen casually threw a punch, and his fist directly pierced through space, suddenly emerging to the left of Goku, then smashed his face.
“This is the Power of Space.”
Lin Chen took another step forward, but in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Goku, delivering a punch to his stomach.
Although it was just one punch, Goku felt as if he had been hit hundreds of times, then he was sent flying.
“This is the Power of Time. I just skipped time.”
As Goku flew backward, his aura exploded once again in mid-air, barely stabilizing himself. However, a chill ran down his spine.
Goku abruptly turned his head, only to find that Lin Chen had somehow appeared beside him, a hand aimed at him.
Lin Chen tilted his hand, shouting, “Hakai!”
A purplish-black energy sphere directly pierced through Goku’s right arm.
Despite the powerful body of a Super Saiyan 4, Goku’s right arm disintegrated without any resistance, vanishing directly in front of him.
What terrified Goku even more was that his arm had disappeared, but he didn’t even feel anything, as if his right arm had never existed.
“Ahhhhh!”
Even though Goku in this world has become evil, he still let out a scream of terror.
“This is the Power of Destruction.”
Lin Chen calmly stated, then waved his right hand, and a white light floated towards Goku.
Terrified, Goku tried to disperse the light with his hands, but it was futile.
However, when this light enveloped Goku’s missing right arm, a miracle happened.
Goku’s vanished right arm miraculously restored itself!
“This is the Power of Creation, also the power Supreme Kai and others uses to heal injuries.”
“So, as you can see, I’m not imitating gods; I am a god!”
Staring at Lin Chen, Goku suddenly returned to his normal state.
With a dejected expression, he said, “I lost.”
Lin Chen nodded, “Gohan and the others entrusted me with a request, you should know about it, right? So don’t worry, I won’t kill you; I’ll just return you to the former Goku.”
“I understand.” Goku seemed to have accepted reality.
In the face of the true divine power demonstrated by Lin Chen, he was completely shocked.
Perhaps, as Goku once said, Saiyans’ inherent nature is to submit to powerful strength.
Shortly after, when Gohan and the others, who had rushed back from Kai’s Planet after the battle was over, arrived, Goku had already awakened from the previous evil state.
The method mentioned by the divine dragon was indeed effective; Lin Chen simply followed the instructions once, and Goku’s original consciousness was reawakened.
The consciousness of the Evil Saiyan Kakarot no longer existed.
Although for the people on Earth, the recent events were a major disaster.
But for Goku, everything felt like a dream.
A nightmare.
Goku found himself deeply immersed in remorse for what he had done. While the divine dragon could repair everything he had done, the psychological trauma caused to Goku would likely take a long time to heal.
But Goku’s companions were willing to give him that time.
