"W-Wha—?! Your Majesty, what was that stuff you gave me?! What's happening to me?!"
By now, Hanasia had fully regained her senses. Feeling the boundless power surging through her body, she was both amazed and slightly panicked.
Whoosh!Lynx stepped forward and flashed into the sky.
"Hana, you've become a Super Saiyan."
"Super Saiyan? What's that supposed to be?"
In this era, even among the Saiyans, the legend of the Super Saiyan was barely remembered. Only a handful still knew of it.
Lynx took a deep breath and raised his voice so all of Capital City—and even Hanasia—could hear him:
"The Super Saiyan is a legendary warrior said to appear once every thousand years! But in truth, it's simply a unique Saiyan transformation, much like the Great Ape form. By transforming, a Saiyan's power increases dozens of times."
"For the record, Hana… your current power level is 10.1 million."
"10.1 million?! Me?!"
Hanasia stared at her hands in disbelief. Then, she turned her gaze toward a distant mountain range.
With a flick, she launched a ki blast, barely putting any effort into it.
Seconds later, a mushroom cloud erupted in the distance, tearing through the sky. The shockwave nearly knocked the entire capital off its feet.
When the dust finally settled… the mountain was simply gone.
Gasps echoed across the city.
"Alright, Hana, remember this is our homeworld. Try not to level it. If you really want to test your strength—let me be your opponent."
"Y-Your Majesty…?"
Hanasia looked at him with wide eyes.
And then—his pupils turned blue, and his hair rose straight upward, shimmering faintly.
An even more terrifying aura than hers exploded outward, a storm centered around Lynx.
If Hanasia's transformation had stunned the Saiyans, this was something else entirely.
Many dropped to their knees, overwhelmed by the crushing presence.
CRACK!A bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
When the flash faded—Lynx's hair had turned gold.
"S-Super Saiyan?! Your Majesty… y-you too?!"
"Of course. How else could I maintain dominance at home?" Lynx smiled coolly.
Once his power surpassed 1 million, Lynx broke past the limit of the pseudo-Super Saiyan and achieved the true transformation.
However, this was only the standard Super Saiyan form—not his Legendary Super Saiyan transformation.
Like Hanasia, this form provided a 20x boost. He'd once thought the low multiplier was due to his bloodline being tied to the legendary version…
But after seeing Hanasia's transformation, it became clear: In this world, the Super Saiyan multiplier was simply 20x, and there was a power cap.
Luckily, Lynx hadn't yet hit that cap. With a 20x multiplier, his power skyrocketed to 20 million, nearly double Hanasia's.
"Come, Hana. Let's spar in the upper atmosphere. Since becoming a Super Saiyan, I've yet to have a proper match."
"Heck yeah! I want three hundred rounds with you!"
Without waiting, Hanasia rocketed into the sky, Lynx right behind her.
They soared into the stratosphere, not stopping until they were beyond the clouds.
There was no need for a countdown—both attacked at once.
BOOM! Their fists collided with thunderous force.
Shockwaves rolled across the sky as two golden figures exchanged blow after blow.
Even the air trembled from their clash.
Back on the ground, the Saiyans could do nothing but stare in awe at the battle unfolding above.
Is this… the true power of the Super Saiyan?
"Father…"
King Vegeta snapped out of his daze, turning to see his son, young Vegeta, standing quietly nearby, eyes filled with despair.
"Vegeta…"
"Father, is there even a chance… that I'll ever reach His Majesty's level?"
The boy's voice trembled with frustration.
King Vegeta inhaled deeply. He had once believed his son would surpass even himself… perhaps become second only to Lynx.
But now, seeing the immense gap… even he couldn't offer comfort.
So this is it… Lynx and the others had already stepped into a realm beyond our reach.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM! High above, lightning flashed as the two Super Saiyans collided again and again.
Each strike lit up the sky, each gust of energy carving out invisible blades of wind.
Had this battle taken place at ground level, every Saiyan below under 100,000 in power would've been instantly obliterated.
Such was the terrifying reality of a Super Saiyan clash.
And even though both Lynx and Hanasia were holding back, their power was still more than enough to reshape the planet.
After nearly half an hour, with Hanasia clearly out of breath, Lynx finally brought the battle to an end.
"Let's stop here."
As he returned to normal, his joints crackled as he casually stretched his neck.
Hanasia stared at him, stunned.
She had thought becoming a Super Saiyan meant invincibility…
But Lynx was not only one as well—he was still far stronger.
Even though they had only traded physical blows, Hanasia could tell—
He hadn't even used half his strength…
Of course… it's His Majesty. Even as a Super Saiyan, I still can't beat him…
With that realization, she too powered down and floated over to his side.
When they returned to the surface, they found every Saiyan kneeling, faces pale with awe and fear.
Seeing their expressions, Lynx suddenly had an idea.
He raised his voice:
"Everyone! You all saw it—that was the power of the Super Saiyan!"
"But did you know? Hanasia only transformed… because I made it possible."
"WHAT?!"
His words sparked stunned gasps—then admiration.
If Lynx could make Hanasia a Super Saiyan… then could he do it for others too?
Seeing their reaction, Lynx smiled faintly.
Time to give the Saiyans a dream.
"In my view, becoming a Super Saiyan isn't impossible. With enough determination, any of you could achieve that transformation one day. Whether you do… depends entirely on your own performance."
"We… we can become Super Saiyans too?!"
Sure enough, many Saiyans' expressions began to shift—shock turning into hope.
Not just Hanasia… they had a chance too?
Lynx remained silent, letting the idea sink in.
If the Saiyans followed him loyally and served his goals faithfully, then granting them the power of Super Saiyan was easily within reach.
After all… he had a system.
