The Tiers of Super Saiyan

Is it just a different color?

That's a lie!

Upon hearing Roland's statement, everyone's lips twitched slightly. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that his state was unusual. Goku, in particular, had experienced becoming Super Saiyan before and knew all too well just how ferocious the power of Super Saiyan was.

It's impossible for someone like Roland to maintain a Super Saiyan form in normal circumstances. In any case, with Goku's current level, he can't achieve that state.

To maintain Super Saiyan form at will without letting any power leak out requires an incredibly deep understanding and control of that power.

"Roland, how did you find us?" Goku asked.

"The North Kai told me," Roland replied calmly.

"So it was King Kai!" Goku and the others suddenly realized that they were able to prevent King Cold's attack in advance thanks to North Kai's reminder. Otherwise, with their original power, they wouldn't have been able to resist at all. Although the final result was the destruction of Earth, at least some of the Earthling were saved.

It's already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Moreover, as long as Old Kami recreates the Dragon Ball, Earth can be restored.

"Goku, your ability to kill King Cold is somewhat beyond my expectations." Roland sized up Goku. With his abilities, Goku's power was impossible to hide from him. He could tell the other's condition at a glance and nodded. His foundation was quite solid, and the powerful breakthrough had not caused any adverse effects.

Goku scratched his head sheepishly, "It's just a pity that Earth was destroyed along with it."

Roland said, "For Super Saiyan, a planet is far too fragile, especially for a powerhouse with a combat power exceeding one million. Destroying a planet requires almost no effort."

"That's true, most planets simply can't withstand such powerful energy."

Piccolo and the others nodded in agreement. The capacity of an ordinary planet to withstand an attack of tens of thousands of units of energy is probably only tens of thousands. Some larger planets might be able to withstand an attack of hundreds of thousands of units of power, but such planets are only a minority. You should know that even advanced planets like Planet Vegeta couldn't withstand a single finger from Frieza.

For them, whose power exceeds a million, destroying a planet is not difficult; the difficulty lies in avoiding harming the planet during a major war.

"By the way, what is Super Saiyan Full Power?"

Goku asked Roland a question.

He had only recently come into contact with the Super Saiyan state, so it's fair to say he didn't know much about it.

Piccolo and Krillin also perked up their ears. Although the classification of Super Saiyan had nothing to do with them, understanding more about the classification of powerful levels would be beneficial for their future training.

"Super Saiyan is a transformation with a very wide range of power levels, while Super Saiyan Full Power is a more advanced state within Super Saiyan. Well, since you're already a Super Saiyan, you should know a bit about it." With that, Roland transformed into a regular Super Saiyan and decided to give Goku a proper explanation of the Super Saiyan states.

Of course, he didn't unleash all his power at once, but only revealed a portion of it. However, this portion of his power was enough to make everyone breathless.

Golden flames enveloped his entire body, and his hair turned golden as well. Unlike Goku, his eyes were golden.

"This is the most ordinary Super Saiyan, the standard form of Super Saiyan."

"Your previous state was called the Initial Super Saiyan, because you relied on anger to break through your body's limits. Your transformation state still needs to be honed. Only when you can freely control your transformation ability will you be considered a formal Super Saiyan." Roland smiled calmly.

Goku nodded, understanding the difference between himself and a proper Super Saiyan.

The Initial Super Saiyan and a regular Super Saiyan is like that between a temporary worker and a permanent employee; their treatment is different. Goku believed that with some hard training, he would soon become a full-fledged Super Saiyan.

Roland began to intensify her energy, and a golden light shone forth. Her hair began to stand even straighter. Suddenly, the entire Five Elements Mountain trembled, and the golden auspicious clouds floating in mid-air seemed to be affected by a powerful gravity, pressing tightly to the ground.

"This is the Super Saiyan 'Beyond' form, whose power surpasses that of a regular Super Saiyan."

A surging, powerful aura swept outwards, and everyone felt the ground undulating, creating an almost suffocating sensation.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's completely different from before."

"His gaze has become even sharper."

"The eyes are golden. Is that a characteristic that only appears after surpassing Super Saiyan?" Krillin suddenly wondered, then remembered that the other person's eyes were golden before becoming Super Saiyan.

"No, I heard from Askari that Teacher's Golden Eyes and Aunt Sephiria's Red Eye were developed before they became Super Saiyan. I think it was called... Pseudo Super Saiyan. Ordinary Super Saiyan have the same emerald green eyes as Dad did before."

Bulla's explanation was somewhat stumbling and bumpy.

Pseudo Super Saiyan!

It was yet another new form they'd never heard of before. Krillin and the others' expressions hardened, and they began to look somewhat numb.

There are so many forms of Super Saiyan.

There are already four types: Pseudo Super Saiyan, Initial Super Saiyan, Regular Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan "Beyond" form. Adding the previously mentioned Super Saiyan Full Power, that makes five.

At this moment, Roland's aura continued to rise. When the terrifying aura could affect the entire Yellow Springs, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. Looking at Roland again, the golden flames had vanished, his muscles had become sparse, and he looked much more ordinary.

But it gave people the impression of being even more unfathomable.

This was exactly how Roland had presented herself to them before.

"This is Super Saiyan Full Power!"

"I didn't realize it before, but now that I see it, the Super Saiyan Full Power state is just too perfect!" Goku shouted excitedly, as if he had found his goal, and his eyes became determined.

Roland chuckled, a smile playing on her lips, "This is only the first stage of Super Saiyan, let's call it Super Saiyan 1 for now."

"Could there be Super Saiyan 2?"

Goku's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, whether it's a regular Super Saiyan, a Super Saiyan, or even Super Saiyan Full Power, they all fall within the scope of Super Saiyan 1... Above Full Power, there are indeed even more powerful transformations." He said calmly, and the unremarkable Full Power state began to break. Roland's aura continued to rise, quickly exceeding the limit of Full Power.

With a crackling sound, silvery-white arcs of electricity suddenly appeared.

This is the symbol of Super Saiyan 2, but for Roland, even when the Golden Eyes Super Saiyan Full Power is not suppressing its energy, silver lightning will still appear.

Roland further enhanced his power to Super Saiyan 2. Because he didn't consciously maintain it, the surging energy swept outwards, creating a fierce wind that swept around them. Piccolo and Goku felt the pressure on their bodies suddenly increase, as if a huge rock was pressing down on their chests, making it hard to breathe. The immense pressure caused beads of sweat to appear on their foreheads.

"This is Super Saiyan 2!"

To be precise, it's the Golden-Eyed Super Saiyan 2, whose power is much greater than that of a regular Super Saiyan 2.

In fact, beyond the Full Power of Golden Eyes, Roland's true trump card is a form called "Super Power," which is more restrained and not as ferocious as Super Saiyan 2. It is a stable form achieved on the basis of Super Saiyan 2.

But for Goku and his friends, Full Power and Super Saiyan 2 were already difficult to understand, let alone Super Power.

"How terrifying! There are so many powerful forms beyond Super Saiyan."

Goku's expression was extremely solemn. He was no longer the same as before. His master-level eyesight allowed him to clearly distinguish the differences between Roland's various forms, and a surge of shock rose in his heart.

"Did Broly and Sephiria also reach Super Saiyan 2?" Goku couldn't help but ask.

"More or less." Roland nodded.

Although Broly and Sephiria are not yet in Super Saiyan 2 form, their power is completely at the Super Saiyan 2 level. Broly, in particular, is so powerful that when he goes berserk in his mutated form, Roland has to use "Super Power" to stop him.

Upon hearing this, Goku couldn't help but gasp.

"It seems there's still a long way to go between me and Broly!" Goku exclaimed. Knowing the difference in their abilities beforehand greatly facilitated his training.

Roland was also looking at Goku, eager to know how far Goku could advance given his prior knowledge of the Super Saiyan level and its subsequent evolution.
