Transforming into a Super Saiyan?

"Damn it!!!!"

"Where did he go??"

"Damn you, Gran! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me head-on!!"

Little Vegeta searched everywhere for traces of Gran like a madman.

Suddenly!

A small hand pressed against the back of his head.

"You abandoned me back then. Enjoy my revenge!"

Gran's voice was icy as he pressed Vegeta's head down and smashed it into the ground.

Boom—!

There had originally been no cracks in this stretch of ground, but under this heavy blow, Vegeta's little head shattered the surface, and cracks instantly spread everywhere.

"Arghhh!"

Vegeta let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Didn't you say you were the only one in the Saiyan Clan who could become a Super Saiyan? If you don't transform soon, you're really going to suffer!"

Gran sneered, pinning Vegeta's head to the ground and dragging it forward at high speed!!

Bang!

Bang!

The ground looked as though it had been plowed, with slabs of stone being forced upward.

"Didn't you say you were the most talented prince of our Saiyan Clan? How come you don't even have the strength to resist?"

"Arghhh!!!"

"With this little strength, you still dared to be arrogant? You think you deserve it?"

"Arghhh!!!"

"Didn't you see me as the disgrace of the Saiyan Clan? Get up and fight back!!"

Gran's face was cold as he dragged Vegeta across the ground for more than three hundred meters, then hurled him forcefully into the sky.

Boom—!

Like a cannonball, Vegeta shot upward, and Gran chased after him!

Once he caught up above Vegeta, Gran clasped his hands together and smashed them hard into his opponent's back.

Boom—!

The terrifying impact sent Vegeta plummeting straight down like a meteor, but Gran quickly pursued him again.

He appeared in front of Vegeta at incredible speed and kicked him upward once more!

Boom—!

Boom—!

"Arghhh!!!"

"Arghhh!!!"

After that, Vegeta was like a football, viciously kicked back and forth through the air by Gran.

Elsewhere.

"Nappa, what do we do now? Vegeta is completely no match for Gran!" Raditz hurriedly asked.

"So what if he can't beat him? What does his life or death have to do with us?" The fear in Nappa's heart suddenly vanished, leaving him calm.

"What do you mean? Are we just going to watch Gran kill Vegeta?" Raditz asked in disbelief.

"What else can we do? Gran said it himself—he has one billion Battle Power. Do you think we can beat Gran if we go up there?"

Nappa spat disdainfully. "When Vegeta abandoned Gran back then, we all tried to persuade him. But what did he say? He said that if we kept speaking up for Gran, he'd leave us behind on that planet too!"

"Hmph, this is their grudge. I'm not helping Vegeta, and I don't dare help him either. If you want to go, then go!"

"Me?"

Little Raditz shuddered all over and stood frozen in place.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to help Vegeta? Why aren't you moving?" Nappa teased.

Hearing that, Raditz's little eyes immediately turned cold. He spat as well. "Help that cold-blooded Vegeta? I'd have to be crazy to do that!"

Nappa: "..."

Shin the God of Destruction and Kibito, who had been watching the battle, heard the conversation between the two.

They were utterly speechless. Weren't the three of them companions? How had their little boat of friendship capsized so quickly?

What Shin the God of Destruction and Kibito did not know was that, aside from Bardock, the Saiyans early in the story were all this cold-blooded!

Forget companions—if there was a conflict of interest, even fathers and sons could turn against each other!

Over on Gran's side.

His unleashed power was indeed one billion Battle Power, but every time he attacked Vegeta, he precisely controlled his strength within the limits Vegeta could endure.

Otherwise, killing him in one blow would be no fun!

"Vegeta, didn't you say only you could become a Super Saiyan? Transform for me already!"

In midair, Gran flew above Vegeta, stretched his leg behind him, then spun at a bizarre angle.

360 Degree Roundhouse Kick!

Crack!!

Vegeta's spine snapped instantly!!

"Arghhh!!!!"

Accompanied by Vegeta's heart-wrenching scream, he turned into a cannonball and crashed viciously into the ground.

Boom—!

A ten-meter-deep crater instantly appeared in the ground!

Vegeta lay in the crater, howling continuously. That strike had snapped his spine, leaving him unable to stand!

The difference of one billion Battle Power was simply too great. There had never been any suspense in this battle!

Despair, helplessness, humiliation...

Vegeta lay in the crater, his expression filled with extreme unwillingness.

He had never expected that he, the prince of the Saiyan Clan, would end up in such a miserable state one day!

Tap, tap!

Gran descended from the air, landing in the crater and stepping on Vegeta's little head.

He had finally gotten his revenge!

It felt amazing!!!

"High and mighty Prince Vegeta, never thought you'd have a day like this, did you?"

"D-Damn it!!"

Vegeta was already unable to move, but he still forced out a sentence with difficulty. "I-If you've got the guts, kill me!"

"Kill you? Don't rush."

"?"

"Actually, aside from taking revenge on you, I had another purpose in coming here!"

The corners of Gran's mouth curled up slightly. He crouched down beside Vegeta and whispered into his ear, "Let me tell you. The Super Saiyan Legend of the Saiyan Clan is real!"

"W-What?"

Vegeta's pupils suddenly shrank.

Within the Saiyan Clan, a legend had always been passed down: every thousand years, a Legendary Super Saiyan might appear!

Gran had only trained for three years, yet he had suddenly become this powerful. Could it be that he was already in the Super Saiyan State?

Seeing Vegeta's expression, how could Gran not know what he was thinking? He burst out laughing. "You don't think I'm already in the Super Saiyan State, do you?"

"Isn't... isn't that the case?"

"Of course I haven't reached that state yet. This is just my normal power!"

Gran clenched his little fist. He was very satisfied with his current normal strength, then sneered.

"Let me tell you something else. My other purpose is to transform into a Super Saiyan right in front of you!"

Brutally beating Vegeta was not the way for Gran to vent his anger the most. Gran knew that Vegeta still had something he stubbornly clung to.

Vegeta had always longed to transform into the Legendary Super Saiyan!

During the Namek Saga, Vegeta wanted Dende to restore him from the brink of death so that he could become the Legendary Super Saiyan.

He wanted to use that state to defeat Frieza, unaware that the power he gained would merely come from recovering from near-death!

Later, when Goku became the first Super Saiyan, Vegeta's proud self-esteem simply could not bear it!

So while Goku was learning Instant Transmission, he went into space to train and became the second Super Saiyan.

Only then did his pride feel a little better!

"N-No way!!!"

Vegeta's spine had long since snapped. He struggled to stand, but it was impossible. Lying face-down in the crater, he screamed hysterically:

"N-No way! Even if that legend is real, you can't possibly transform into a Super Saiyan! The only one who can become that Super Saiyan is me, Prince Vegeta!!!"

"You're truly beyond saving. Even now, you're still this arrogant!"

Gran lifted his little foot from Vegeta's head, then kicked him out of the crater.

"Watch carefully as I crush the last of your pride!"

He flew out of the crater as well.

God of Destruction Realm.

At the appointed time every day, a fixed program would appear by the lake. Whis and Beerus would sit on small stools and watch Gran's daily activities.

The projection showed Gran sparring with the Grand Elder on Planet Metamor.

"Lord Beerus, Gran has broken through again. He trained Body Instinct to the First Stage in half a year, then reached the Second Stage another year later. That kid is still as freakish as ever!"

"I'm not blind. I saw it."

"Ohohoho~~ I just wanted to chat with Lord Beerus so the atmosphere wouldn't be so quiet!"

"Enough. Can you talk less? You're so noisy!"

Beerus turned his head and glared at Whis.

However!

The next second, he noticed that Gran in the projection did not seem to intend to return to the God of Destruction Realm.

"Huh? That little guy's strength, state of mind, and Body Instinct have all reached a bottleneck. If he isn't coming back, what does he want to do?"

Beerus was somewhat puzzled.

Normally, Whis would already be chattering away at a time like this, yet he was strangely silent now.

"Whis, why aren't you saying anything?" Beerus asked with a frown.

"Lord Beerus told me not to speak, so naturally, I must obey your command," Whis said calmly.

Beerus: "..."

I really want to beat this guy up. What should I do?

"Huh? He actually went to find Vegeta?"

Seeing the change in the projection, Whis still had some impression of Vegeta.

After all, he had seen Beerus trample Vegeta's father in front of him back then.

"So he went to take revenge. I was wondering why he wasn't coming back."

Beerus watched the projection and clicked his tongue. "A Candidate God of Destruction is actually bullying someone from the Mortal Realm. Isn't he ashamed?"

Whis covered his mouth and chuckled. Beerus always had to criticize Gran no matter what he did. There was truly no one else like him.

Suddenly!!!

Gran in the projection suddenly said: "I'm going to transform into a Super Saiyan in front of you!"

Transform????

Boom—!

Those words exploded like thunder. Beerus and Whis simultaneously recalled the transformed state of the Saiyan Ancestor Audis.

"That is a wrong transformation!!!"

Beerus's face became extremely ugly as he roared, "Hurry and stop Gran! We absolutely cannot let him go astray!!"

"Quick!!!!"

"Yes!!!!"

Without another word, Whis took Beerus and shot into the sky as a streak of light!
