Outside the Gravity Chamber, Aila looked up at the sky and saw a round moon radiating a pale, silvery glow. After only one glance, she hurriedly looked away and used her clothes to cover her entire body, especially her tail.

It was the Full Moon!

The reason Aila's expression had changed so drastically and she had rushed out of the Gravity Chamber was that she was absolutely certain the violent, savage Aura she sensed had come from Rhode transforming into a Great Ape for some unknown reason.

What was Rhode doing?!

Was he trying to destroy Earth?

In just over half a month, Aila herself had raised her Power Level to nearly eight thousand. Not to mention Rhode, who had not spent separate time strengthening his control over his power.

Rhode's Power Level was now close to ten thousand. With such strength, if he transformed into a Great Ape and his power increased tenfold, any reckless destruction would be an unimaginable disaster for Earth.

Thus, when that ferocious Aura surged toward her from afar, Aila's face turned extremely ugly. She immediately left the Gravity Chamber, leaped into the air, and flew swiftly toward the source of Rhode's Aura.

Cities, forests, and mountains passed beneath her, the scenery constantly changing, but Aila had no mood to pay attention. All she wanted was to reach Rhode and stop the catastrophe he might cause if he lost consciousness after transforming into a Great Ape.

Flying at full speed with a Power Level of nearly eight thousand, Aila soon saw the enormous figure floating above the Wasteland.

Hmm?

The moment she spotted Rhode's Great Ape form from afar, Aila, who had been anxious and worried, immediately noticed something strange. The Great Ape Rhode had become was simply floating there quietly rather than wreaking havoc as she had imagined.

He hadn't lost consciousness!

Though she had not yet reached him, Aila immediately understood his condition from the state of Rhode's Great Ape form.

That damn Rhode had gotten ahead of her again!

Her worry vanished, but when she realized Rhode had already mastered staying conscious after transforming into a Great Ape, Aila felt immensely annoyed.

Whoosh!

As she thought, Aila arrived before Rhode's Great Ape form, floating in midair level with that enormous head as she faced him.

"Rhode, when did you master staying conscious as a Great Ape?"

Before Giant Ape Rhode, who stood dozens of meters tall, Aila looked tiny. Yet every word she spoke reached Rhode's ears clearly.

Although High-Class Warriors could theoretically remain conscious after transforming into Great Apes, they were not born capable of doing so. It required a process of mastery, and since the two of them were still young, staying conscious after transforming was far from easy.

"Oh?"

Viewing Aila from a Great Ape's perspective and looking at her tiny figure, Rhode found it quite novel.

As for when he had mastered staying conscious? Naturally, it had been after awakening his memories.

However, he certainly would not tell her the truth. "Back on Planet Rhyner. Otherwise, how do you think we survived?"

When Aila heard that Rhode had already mastered staying conscious in Great Ape form on Planet Rhyner months ago, the anger in her heart instantly surged.

She was not angry that Rhode had not told her. She was angry that she had fallen behind him without even realizing it.

After all, staying conscious in Great Ape form was an innate ability unique to Saiyans. Unlike the system's cultivation of Aura, without any understanding of it, one could not learn it even if one wanted to.

"Why did you come?"

Rhode was somewhat surprised to see Aila appear, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately guessed why. His control over his Aura was limited after transforming into a Great Ape, causing it to leak out and be sensed by Aila.

Thus, before Aila could answer, Rhode continued, "Don't worry. I just wanted to experience the Great Ape state more carefully and study it in depth."

After transforming into a Great Ape, one's Power Level increased tenfold. Such a terrifying boost was far inferior to becoming a Super Saiyan, but it was still much stronger than Kaio-ken.

After all, although Kaio-ken could increase one's Power Level, it placed a great burden on the body and consumed enormous amounts of Aura. It also had to be increased step by step, making it impossible to compare with transforming into a Great Ape.

After transforming into a Great Ape, not only did one's power soar, but as long as the tail and the Full Moon remained and one stayed conscious, the form could almost be maintained indefinitely. It also did not consume much Aura.

Its only drawback was its enormous body. Compared to an opponent with the same Power Level, it would be at a severe disadvantage in speed, while its larger body also made it much easier to hit.

Rhode wanted to experience the Great Ape transformation and study it in depth, then improve it until it reached the level he envisioned.

"Since you can already stay conscious, I'm transforming into a Great Ape too!"

Hearing Rhode say this, Aila no longer wanted to return to the Gravity Chamber to train. As she removed the robe covering her body, she said to Rhode, "If I can't stay conscious later, I'll leave it to you."

Before she could finish speaking, Aila's body had already begun to change beneath the Full Moon. In a breath, she successfully transformed into a Great Ape under Rhode's watch.

ROAR!

The transformed Aila instinctively threw her head back and roared at the sky, then opened her mouth and began gathering an Energy Blast.

Bang!

However, just as the Energy Blast in Giant Ape Aila's mouth began to take shape, Rhode's enormous shadow covered her. Then, one of his massive hands pressed it back down.

ROAR!

With her outburst interrupted, Giant Ape Aila let out an enraged roar. Her bewildered crimson eyes immediately fixed on Giant Ape Rhode, the culprit, and she swung her arm, throwing a punch.

Her enormous body carried terrifying power. As her fist moved, the air shook and sharp sonic booms rang out in every direction. The ground and mountain peaks below seemed to have been ravaged by a force-twelve gale, becoming In shambles.

Fortunately, this place was a remote wilderness far from human cities. Otherwise, who knew how many people would have suffered.

Bang!

Facing Giant Ape Aila's attack, Giant Ape Rhode casually raised a hand and blocked it. Then he swung his other hand and slapped her, sending her flying toward the ground.

In Great Ape form, one's strength increased tenfold and was already difficult to control. Furthermore, Giant Ape Aila was currently unable to remain conscious. Under such circumstances, the combat strength she could display was simply unbearable to watch.

Thus, before Rhode, who remained conscious and was rapidly improving his control over his Great Ape power thanks to his extraordinary comprehension, Giant Ape Aila could only be beaten.

Boom!

Giant Ape Aila's enormous body smashed into the ground. The earth rolled over and rocks from the mountains collapsed, yet Giant Ape Aila herself was not seriously injured.

She merely shook her head. Her crimson eyes glared hatefully at Rhode, who floated in the sky. She kicked off the ground and sprang upward like a cannonball, charging straight at the enemy who had made her suffer.

ROAR!

Giant Ape Aila let out an angry roar, but Giant Ape Rhode showed no mercy toward her reckless charge. He raised his foot and kicked her back down once more.
