Super Saiyan Goku (Part 2)

"Terrifying! That alien's power is incredibly strong!"

Dr. Gero stared intently at the apocalyptic scene on the screen, his eyes burning with fervor. "Incredible! This level of power far surpasses the artificial warriors I've created. Even Goku wouldn't be a match for him!"

Lacking knowledge of the outside universe, Dr. Gero's understanding of power primarily comes from Goku and his companions.

In terms of actual power, Earth is not a particularly advanced planet. Before Goku and his friends rose to power, the level of the warriors on Earth was obviously unknown. Given this, even if Dr. Gero wanted to take revenge on Goku, he would not have an accurate benchmark.

Because the most powerful warrior on Earth is Goku, everything revolves around him. Several years ago, Dr. Gero began researching Saiyan genes, but the results were not ideal. Only recently did he change his approach and return to his old path, researching the technology of Android.

The appearance of King Cold has shown him a new direction for research.

Of course, Dr. Gero was not a reckless person. He knew that Earth was facing a huge crisis at the moment, and all retaliatory actions should be put aside for the time being. Otherwise, if even Earth was gone, it would be meaningless for him to successfully avenge the Red Ribbon Army.

"This is the first time I've ever really wanted Goku to win a battle!" Dr. Gero looked at Goku's incredible power on the screen, a cold smile appearing on his aged face.

Earth.

King Cold's chilling aura enveloped the entire planet. Even when Goku activated the Kaioken at twenty times, his powerful aura still appeared weak in the face of King Cold's power. Vast and imposing, these words are insufficient to describe King Cold's strength.

Its momentum was like the entire ocean turning into a giant wave pushing down, and in the face of this power, any resistance seemed insignificant.

A strong sense of weariness washed over him. Goku forced himself to use the power of the Kaioken, but the human body has its limits. Soon his body began to tire, and even swinging his fist became extremely difficult.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The aura emanating from Goku gradually became unstable, and the dark red flame flickered intermittently like a flame, seemingly about to be extinguished by a gust of wind.

"Oh no, my body can't hold on any longer!" Goku gasped for breath, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

Looking across, King Cold's towering figure reappeared in his sight, emanating boundless energy. King Cold walked towards him step by step, his expression calm and relaxed. With each step, the hard ground beneath his feet crumbled like loose powder.

"It looks like your body can't take it anymore."

"As long as I'm here, I will never let you harm the Earth," Goku said firmly.

"Even at this point, they still insist on using words to their advantage."

King Cold smiled coldly, glancing at Piccolo and the others in the distance. A chilling glint flashed in his crimson eyes as he cruelly said, "Those are your companions, aren't they? Should I kill them one by one right in front of you? That would be quite interesting!"

"You... don't even think about it!" Goku's expression changed drastically, his eyes widened, and his dark pupils stared intently at King Cold.

"Heh, I love seeing your despair."

King Cold's eyes lit up. As a cold-blooded Space Demon, he most enjoyed destroying what his opponents valued most in front of them. The resentment and despair on their faces when they were powerless against a powerful enemy was exactly what he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, King Cold suddenly became interested. His body moved quickly, and the pale purple phantoms formed a straight line, swiftly attacking Piccolo and Krillin.

"Oh no!"

Goku's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Krillin and the others were about to fall victim to King Cold's wrath, he disregarded his exhaustion and roared once more, "Twenty Times Kaioken!"

Wow!

The flames that had previously dimmed reignited, causing his muscles to ache and sweat to pour down his face. Under immense pressure, Goku moved swiftly to keep up with King Cold's pace. In an instant, countless illusory afterimages flashed across the sky and the sea.

Goku and King Cold began fighting in mid-air.

"Kamehameha!"

A Ki Blast, shimmering with brilliant blue light, suddenly shot out and struck King Cold, followed by an incredibly violent explosion.

King Cold blocked Goku's attack, waved his hand to disperse the sparse energy flow, and expressionlessly stretched out his palm, striking towards Goku.

Bang!

Faced with King Cold's attack, Goku had no way to dodge. He simply arched his body, raised his arms to protect himself, and used his tenacious body as support to prepare to take the powerful attack head-on.

Whoosh!

A tremendous force struck Goku, severely injuring his internal organs. With a groan, a bloody taste filled his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, further aggravating his injuries.

"Oh no, what should we do? Goku's body can't hold on much longer, we have to go help him!" Krillin looked anxious as he saw his childhood friend seriously injured.

"But we are no match for King Cold at all. Even if we went up, we would only cause trouble for Goku."

Tien Shinhan clenched his fists and roared in frustration. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but the difference in their levels was too great. King Cold had a power level of 90 million, while even if they used their full Kaioken, they would only have a power level of a little over a million. How could they possibly stop King Cold?

"Will Dad be alright?"

Bulla's eyes turned red, his purple hair began to flutter, and his aura became increasingly unstable.

"Kid, calm down. You can't lose your composure right now." Piccolo gave Bulla a cold look and channeled some magic into her body, Bulla immediately calmed down.

"By the way, Senzu Bean, does anyone here still have any Senzu Bean?"

"I have some here!"

Chi-Chi's melodious voice rang out as she took out a few Senzu Bean from her pocket.

"Give it to me, I'll take it to Goku."

"Okay!" Chi-Chi handed over the Senzu Bean.

Krillin caught the Senzu Bean and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Goku. However, a shockwave in an arc came crashing down on him, causing Krillin to stumble and fall over unexpectedly. The aftershocks of Goku's battle with King Cold were like a thick wall blocking his way, preventing him from delivering the Senzu Bean.

"Oh no, we can't get through at all."

Clutching the few Senzu Bean in his hand, Krillin angrily swung his arm, a sudden feeling of powerlessness washing over him.

From afar, he could see the scene of Goku's fierce battle with King Cold. Huge waves surged, rivers churned, and the rolling seawater seemed to be completely enraged, constantly raising waves thousands of meters high. As he got closer, he could feel the huge vortex formed by the churning of the atmosphere.

It was this atmospheric vortex that hindered his progress.

At this moment, enormous energy vortexes rose up all over the Earth, surrounded by layers of storm rings. A vast and icy aura enveloped the entire planet, creating a scene reminiscent of the approaching apocalypse.

King Cold glanced indifferently at Goku, a cold smile playing on his lips.

You can't stop me.

"I won't let you hurt my companions!" Goku gasped for breath, but still held firm to King Cold.

"Oh..."

King Cold sneered, his sharp fingers tapping lightly in the air. With a series of shimmering Ki Blast, they shot towards Krillin and his group in the distance. The air crackled with a piercing sound, and in the blink of an eye, a dense array of energy rays arrived before Piccolo and his companions.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared beside them without warning. Goku spread his arms and used his powerful body to block it.

"The Thunder Shock Surprise!"

Roaring angrily, immense power surged forth from his body, and winding arcs of electricity flickered, with pale golden energy currents spreading throughout the void. Crackling and flashing, the arcs blocked King Cold's attack.

This scene caused King Cold to frown slightly in displeasure.

In truth, he hadn't been taking the battle seriously since it began, but the fact that his proud attack was blocked by a human made King Cold lose face.

His aura grew even colder; King Cold had lost patience with demanding the Dragon Ball from Goku.

"Fine, I'm done playing with you. Since you refuse to hand over the Dragon Ball, I'll kill you all first, and then search for them at my leisure!"

"Wait, even if you find the Dragon Ball, you might not be able to fulfill your wish."

"What do you mean?" King Cold paused for a moment.

"You don't know the process of making a wish with the Earth Dragon Balls. Actually, after Shenron is summoned, all wishes need to be reviewed. Some evil wishes that violate justice will be automatically blocked, so your wish will most likely not come true!"

"Um?"

King Cold raised an eyebrow; this was something he hadn't found on the Earth network.

"Are you telling the truth?" King Cold's voice rose a few decibels, his chilling tone seeming to drip blood, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Certainly!"

"..."

King Cold paused for a moment, seemingly considering the veracity of what the other party said. If the Dragon Ball on Earth had such limitations on granting wishes, then he shouldn't have come to Earth in the first place; he should have gone directly to Planet Namek.

"Could it be that by a twist of fate, Frieza actually got lucky?"

Muttering to himself, King Cold's blood-red eyes flashed with a chilling light as he cruelly declared, "Since that's the case, what use is there in keeping this eyesore of a planet? I will destroy this planet now and immediately head to Planet Namek!"

As he spoke, King Cold raised his arm, and a blood-red energy blast condensed in his palm.

"Oh no, this has backfired." Upon seeing this, Goku's face darkened, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.

But at this moment, the energy in King Cold's hands had reached its peak.

"Destruction Ball!"

Whoosh!

A crimson energy blast descended from the sky, its immense power cleaving through the deep ocean. A faint, bloody light flashed by, and King Cold's Destruction Ball sank into the sea, quickly making contact with the seabed rocks. Then, as easily as cutting through tofu, it penetrated deep into the core of the Earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like the sound of a pounding heart, an ominous aura instantly enveloped the entire planet. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, a scene reminiscent of the coming apocalypse.

"Haha, I've given you three minutes. This planet will be destroyed in three minutes. Enjoy the last moments of your lives!" King Cold squinted, his voice filled with chilling coldness.

"The Earth... is about to be destroyed!"

Everyone stared blankly, and the scene fell into silence. After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses.

Goku roared, "Quick, Piccolo, you guys get off Earth right now! Take Bulla with you! Earth is about to be destroyed!"

Even without Goku saying it, Piccolo and the others already knew that the energy of King Cold's rebellion was now spreading all over the world, and some areas had begun to collapse. Just as King Cold himself said, Earth only had three minutes left.

"But where can we escape to? We don't have a spaceship!"

"Head west, the Five Elements Mountain is in that direction!"

Goku roared in a deep voice, "The Five Elements Mountain is the passage from Earth to the Yellow Springs, connecting to another dimension. Even if Earth is destroyed, it may not affect the Yellow Springs."

"And what about you!"

"Yeah, Goku, aren't you coming with us?"

"No, I want to stay and fight King Cold. Although I'm probably no match for him, I won't give up. If I really die, I'll have to rely on you to bring me back to life!"

"You're really being willful!" Krillin said, wiping away his tears, trying to laugh but unable to.

"Hurry up!" Goku gritted his teeth, as if he were enduring something.

"Hmph, you can run away, but wherever you go, as long as you're on this planet, you're destined to die. I won't give you a chance to leave on a spaceship." King Cold's majestic body floated leisurely in the sky, arms crossed, coldly watching these Earthling struggle in their final moments.

"Huh, Goku, what's wrong with you?" Krillin asked in surprise, looking at the faint golden light emanating from Goku's body.

It wasn't the dark red color of the Kaioken activation, but a faint golden glow.

"What's going on?" Piccolo frowned, looking at him in confusion.

"This is..."

Bulla stared at Goku with his mouth agape, a surreal thought flashing through his mind, "Is Dad going to become Super Saiyan like Cousin Luo Fei?!"

A surge of joy flashed through Bulla's heart, and he was completely relieved.

"Great! As long as Dad becomes Super Saiyan, that annoying alien will definitely be no match for him."

"Super Saiyan!!"

Piccolo and the others were shocked. Having lived on Planet Sadala for a period of time, they were certainly familiar with the concept of Super Saiyan. Although they had never witnessed Super Saiyan in action, based on legends and their understanding of the Saiyan race, Super Saiyan was undoubtedly an extremely powerful warrior.

Roland usually maintains his Super Saiyan Full Power state. Piccolo and the others have also seen what Super Saiyan looks like, which is very similar to Goku's current state, except that Goku is currently in a transformation phase.
