It was undeniably ugly, but the tenfold increase in combat power was absolutely real.
However, the sight of the two tails swaying beneath his lower body made Gohan's scalp crawl.
Fortunately, there was no one around on Mount Paozu in the middle of the night.
Otherwise, it would have been pure social suicide.
"Roar, roar~"
Gohan let out two roars, mimicking King Kong, and pounded his chest like a madman.
He had officially entered goofball mode.
After only a few beats, however, Gohan's expression grew serious.
He hadn't transformed into a black-furred Great Ape tonight just for fun; he had another objective.
The massive black-furred Great Ape looked up at the moon, clenching both fists tightly.
Then, he let out a loud roar.
"Ahhhhhh~"
A surging wave of ki radiated out from the black Great Ape, rushing toward the four directions.
The clouds in the sky began to churn.
In an instant, fierce winds swirled backward, and the surrounding forest rustled loudly.
Immediately afterward, the entire planet began to tremble gently.
Gohan's aura surged madly; his black fur shimmered with a metallic luster and began to change into a golden-yellow color.
At the same time,
West City, Capsule Corp.
Trunks suddenly awoke from his sleep, his face instantly filled with shock.
Ki—such powerful ki was flooding toward him.
"Is this Gohan's ki? What on earth happened? This power is simply terrifying."
He leaped out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed out the door.
South City, deep within the vast mountains.
Android 16, who was busy planting trees through the night, turned his head toward Mount Paozu in East City.
"Son Gohan. Such immense battle power."
After speaking, he remained silent for a moment, then continued to focus on planting trees.
As if nothing concerned him.
The higher plane of the Dragon Ball world.
The Sacred Realm of the Gods, the Kaioshin Planet!
Kaioshin Shin suddenly looked up, his pupils rapidly contracting, revealing an expression of utter shock.
Kibito noticed the Kaioshin's strange reaction and asked, "Lord Kaioshin, what is wrong?"
A bead of sweat rolled down the Kaioshin's forehead. He replied, "Ki. An incredibly powerful ki suddenly erupted."
"What? Ki?"
Kibito instantly widened his eyes, for, after the Kaioshin's warning, he too felt an overwhelmingly powerful aura transmitted from the mortal realm all the way to the Sacred Realm.
His face was filled with disbelief. He gasped in shock, "H-how is that possible? Ki that can reach the Sacred Realm? Who is this person?"
The Kaioshin and Kibito exchanged glances, a terrifying thought forming in both their minds.
"Could it be…"
"Could it be Majin Buu?"
"That direction—isn't that where Majin Buu is sealed?"
"Oh heavens, has Majin Buu awakened?"
"No, that's not right." The Kaioshin shook his head and continued, "This isn't Majin Buu's aura. I remember his ki being different."
"Moreover, this aura is considerably stronger than Majin Buu's. Who on earth is this?"
The Kaioshin's expression shifted rapidly, a sight to behold.
He then told Kibito, "Kibito, let's go. We must go down to the mortal realm and investigate."
"Yes, Lord Kaioshin." Kibito responded, placing a hand on the Kaioshin's shoulder. With a whoosh, the two instantly vanished... Back on Mount Paozu.
Gohan had transformed into a Golden Great Ape, covered entirely in golden fur.
Golden ki surged around his body, and his overwhelmingly powerful aura spread throughout the four galaxies.
Super Saiyan Great Ape!
This was the Super Saiyan form achieved on top of the Great Ape transformation.
Battle Power x10 x50!
A 500x increase!!!
Feeling the immensely powerful strength within him, Gohan grew excited.
He remembered clearly.
The Super Saiyan 3 transformation only provided a 400x increase over the base form.
Yet now, this form had achieved a 500x increase.
That was a full 100 times more.
Although he had turned into a monstrously ugly Great Ape and his speed had decreased, the sheer power was incredible.
Gohan muttered, "I wonder if I can transform further. If I could reach Super Saiyan 2, that would be a 1000x increase—hiss, that's terrifying!"
Gohan gasped sharply, doing his part to contribute to the cause of global warming.
He decided to act on the thought immediately.
He stirred his ki, preparing to push for Super Saiyan 2.
"Ahhhhhh~"
"Buzz~"
The thick golden tail twitched, and Gohan felt an electric shock, his fur standing on end.
He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, but his power level did not noticeably increase.
What was going on?
Just then,
A figure descended from the sky; Trunks had arrived.
Trunks stared dumbfounded at Gohan, who had become a Golden Great Ape.
He stammered, "G-Gohan? What happened to you? Why are you like this?"
This was the first time he had ever seen Gohan transformed into a Great Ape.
If it weren't for the familiar aura emanating from Gohan, Trunks wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
This change was simply too drastic.
Before Gohan could answer, Trunks suddenly realized, "Wait, the moon. It's the moon, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he tilted his head back to look at the sky.
"Uh…"
Gohan swallowed the explanation he was about to give.
At the same time.
Two figures flashed into existence a short distance away from them.
The Kaioshin and Kibito had arrived.
Although they showed no fluctuation in their ki, Gohan's senses were incredibly sharp in his current state.
The moment they appeared, Gohan detected their presence.
He then looked over.
The Kaioshin and Kibito were suddenly stared down by a pair of blood-red, lantern-sized eyes, frightening them into stumbling back a large step.
Perhaps realizing this harmed their divine dignity, they forcibly stopped after retreating just one step.
Kibito stepped in front of the Kaioshin, adopting a protective stance, and frowned as he asked, "Lord Kaioshin, what species is this?"
The Kaioshin racked his brain for a few seconds before solemnly replying, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the warrior race, the Saiyans."
Just then.
A fierce roar interrupted their conversation.
"Ahhhhh~"
Trunks' body began to wildly distort, and he, too, transformed into a massive black-furred Great Ape.
Now, standing before the Kaioshin was one Golden Great Ape and one black-furred Great Ape.
Both Great Apes were overwhelmingly intimidating.
Kibito kept his hand on the Kaioshin's body, ready to instantly teleport away at any moment.
The two of them shared a knowing glance, swallowing hard as they silently stared at Gohan and Trunks.
Gohan also watched the transformed Trunks warily.
He was unsure if Trunks retained his sanity after transforming into a Great Ape.
If Trunks truly went berserk, Gohan had already decided exactly where to hit him to knock him out.
Just then, the black-furred Great Ape, Trunks, turned his head to look at Gohan.
He spoke with a low rumble, "Gohan, I… I think I also turned into a monster, but my color is a little different from yours."
Hearing Trunks speak, Gohan breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. No need for a sneak attack.
Gohan laughed, "Hahaha, congratulations, Trunks! To retain your sanity after transforming into a Great Ape—truly worthy of the Saiyan royal bloodline. And hmm, your… assets are quite impressive too."
As he spoke, he glanced down at Trunks' lower body.
"Ah~" Trunks yelped, quickly covering his lower body. He retorted loudly, "Gohan, you're one to talk! Yours is twice as big as mine!"
"Hahahaha…" Gohan burst into laughter.
"We should hurry up and leave here. There are two perverts spying on us over there, and it's making my skin crawl."
"Gohan, we really are covered in hair right now."
Gohan: "…
