Mimic Ape Transformation
Below, the Great Ape Roland stood motionless after swallowing the Red Dragon Ball, as if he had choked on Dragon Ball. In fact, a tremendous change was quietly taking place inside his body.
After the Dragon Ball entered the body, the orange-red glassy layer surrounding the red Dragon Ball began to gradually melt, as if it had encountered a strong acidic solution.
After the glass body melted, the Red Shenron inside suddenly came to life and began to roam freely within Roland's body. However, this Red Shenron seemed to be just an energy entity without any consciousness. After wandering around Roland's body for a while, the Red Shenron let out a long roar and actually took the initiative to settle down inside Roland's body.
Huff, huff!
After the Shenron entered, the power of the Dragon Ball began to slowly merge with the Vital Energy, strengthening Roland's body.
In his mental space, Roland had regained control of his body. Even when he lost his mind, his consciousness could still clearly see the outside world, so he knew why the divine Shenron had appeared inside him. He touched the Red Shenron coiled within his body with his consciousness and discovered that it was just a mass of mindless energy.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"After the red Dragon Ball melted, the Shenron it released actually stayed inside my body, and the Shenron's power seems to be strengthening my physique."
Of course, Roland knew that such enhancement would be beneficial to him. In fact, the existence of the Shenron served as a medium to build a bridge between the Great Ape form and the human form. Previously, he had already gained some confidence in integrating the power of the Great Ape simply by being exposed to the moonlight of the Dragon Ball, and now he was even more confident.
"We could try fusing the power of the Red Shenron with the power of the Great Ape; this could be considered a blessing in disguise."
Roland suddenly had a gut feeling that he could succeed this time.
Without further ado, Roland sat cross-legged after regaining control of her body, letting the afterglow of the full moon bathe her, and began to manipulate the energy within her body.
A dark red energy surged within every cell—the power of the Great Ape. It then encountered pure primordial Vital Energy and energy resembling the Dragon Ball. The three energies intertwined, like three streams of water converging, never to separate again. The dark red power of the Great Ape rose, faintly emitting a golden light.
In that instant, Roland's body underwent a dramatic transformation. His body, which had previously expanded to over fifty meters in length, shrank again, quickly becoming human-sized, and his entire body was enveloped in a red energy.
Old cells in the body are constantly replaced, and new cells are constantly generated. Then, under the baptism of the Great Ape's power, they become more and more energetic.
At this point, Roland's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He knew he had crossed the most crucial step, and now all he needed to do was stabilize his power and make all of it work for him.
As that red energy was born, a powerful aura spread outwards from him in all directions. This power was extremely domineering. Even Sephiria on the Space Island turned pale and involuntarily retreated hundreds of meters.
"Roland's form seems to have stabilized." Sephiria looked on with delight, a ripple of joy in her eyes.
"Pfft."
A faint red flame burned around him. When the flame dissipated, a tall man, slightly taller than Sephiria, appeared in mid-air: strong and well-proportioned muscles, handsome appearance, a perfect figure that was neither fat nor thin, every muscle was firm and powerful, and his skin had a layer of crystal luster.
What is particularly striking is the tail that coils around its waist. The tail's fur is not the usual Saiyan brown, but a very eye-catching red.
He opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in his dark pupils, with a faint golden luster. At the same time, a flawless aura spread out from Roland, extremely strong and pure, possessing the domineering power of Great Ape, but without the chaos of that Great Ape.
Sensing the aura emanating from Roland, Sephiria took a deep breath and had no choice but to exert her power to resist. At the same time, looking at the grown-up Roland, a glint of light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Roland, you... you've grown up so much all of a sudden!"
Roland smiled faintly, "Not yet. This is just my transformation state, which I call 'Mimic Ape Transformation.' During the transformation, I gain ten times the power of my normal strength. After the transformation ends, I will return to my original form."
"Mimic Ape Transformation, so this is the form after fully mastering the power of the Great Ape." Upon hearing this, Sephiria murmured a few times, then came to Launch's side with Roland.
"What adverse reactions occurred after swallowing that Dragon Ball?" Sephiria asked.
"I'm in great shape. The power of the Dragon Ball has actually enhanced my Great Ape strength. Combined with the Vital Energy within my body, I feel full of power, and I no longer have to worry about energy going out of control. Look!" Roland felt his physical condition and revealed a bright smile.
After speaking, he gathered his strength, and a vast and mighty energy rose up. A ball of crimson energy condensed on his right fist. If you looked closely, you could see a flying Shenron phantom running from Roland's arm to his right chest, like a tattoo.
Once Roland withdrew that power, the Red Shenron tattoo quickly disappeared again.
"Although I don't know the exact origin of this Red Dragon Ball, it's beneficial and harmless to me."
"That's good." Sephiria felt a little relieved, her beautiful eyes carefully examining Roland. She reached out and pinched his body and tail a few times. "You look quite handsome after transforming."
"This is what I'll look like when I grow up. Hmm, this is what I'll look like in two years when I'm an adult." Roland was quite satisfied with his handsome appearance.
Looking at Launch, the dark blue-haired girl staring at him with curious eyes, Roland smiled and said, "This time, I owe it all to Launch. By some twist of fate, she managed to put the Dragon Ball in my mouth. Otherwise, I might have continued to lose control."
"Oh, I just didn't manage to hold onto the Dragon Ball." Blue-haired Launch was embarrassed by the praise and lowered her head shyly.
"Enough of that. I was seriously injured because of your rampage this time. You have to make it up to me. Fight me in your current form." Sephiria licked her lips, her eyes fixed on Roland with a look that seemed to be ready to devour Roland whole if you didn't know that Sephiria loved fighting!
"Don't blame me if I criticize you later."
"How could that be? I have over 200,000 combat power after transforming."
"My 'Mimic Ape Transformation' is completely different from my previous Great Ape Transformation. Although both are ten times stronger, my speed and agility are unmatched by the Great Ape," Roland said with a faint smile.
Sephiria's eyes lit up. "That's more interesting."
Seeing how eager Sephiria was to challenge him, Roland naturally decided to oblige. Besides, he was now in adult form, and it seemed he could do things he couldn't do before.
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but smile.
After instructing Launch to hide in the safe zone, Roland strolled forward, her movements devoid of any defensive posture, yet her entire body showed no weakness.
