Can Further Transform

"Ah..." Son Gohan let out a series of miserable cries.

"Hmph, though you are trash, at least your blood is red." Vegeta snorted, "I shall let you die beside your father; I am a merciful man, after all."

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta tossed Son Gohan aside like trash.

"Bang!"

Son Gohan collapsed right next to Son Goku.

"Gohan..." Son Goku gritted his teeth, finding even the slightest movement difficult.

"Dad..." Son Gohan struggled desperately as well.

"Gohan, Dad is too severely injured to move. You must fight in my stead; he is already very weak now," Son Goku said to Gohan, "I have already dealt him heavy wounds several times before this."

"Kakarot, I didn't expect you to be so tenacious, still conscious after all this time." Vegeta chuckled lightly.

"I can't, Dad, he is too powerful. I am no match for him at all." Son Gohan gritted his teeth.

"Fine, I shall follow the order: kill Kakarot first, then Kakarot's son, then that bald brat from earlier, and finally the one who cut off my precious tail." Vegeta hummed, speaking indifferently.

Yajirobe was so frightened he hurriedly hid his body.

That guy!

He actually still remembers me.

This is terrible.

"Gohan, it doesn't matter if you can't beat him, you can still dampen his spirit." Son Goku said, "Your power is far greater than his current state... besides, Krillin is there to help you."

"Ah..."

Krillin gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up from the ground.

"It's no use, I can't move either." Son Gohan shook his head.

"You bastard! Do you want everyone to die in vain? How did Piccolo teach you?" Son Goku shouted in anger.

"Bang!"

Just as Son Goku's voice fell, Vegeta descended from the sky, slamming his knee heavily into Son Goku's abdomen.

"Ah..." Son Goku's face spasmed, feeling as if his entire being was falling apart.

Son Gohan was struck with terror.

"You useless piece of trash, you really have made me waste quite a bit of effort!" Vegeta sneered.

"Bang!"

As he spoke, Vegeta kicked Son Goku in the head.

"Luo Tian, can you heal him again?" Bulma asked, grabbing Luo Tian's arm.

"No way. Healing is an extremely energy-consuming task. If you want another treatment, it will have to be a month from now." Luo Tian sighed.

Do you really take me for a healer?

Healing once was a favor.

Not healing you is my duty.

Besides, if you rely on me for everything, who will protect this Earth?

I am an angel; I cannot possibly take on the responsibility of protecting the entire planet.

After all, my sights are set on much more than just a tiny Earth.

"Ah? You can only use it once a month?" Bulma's eyes widened, "Like my period?"

Luo Tian: "..."

That comparison...

I don't even know how to respond to that.

"What do we do now?" Bulma grew anxious, "If this continues, Goku and the others will all be killed."

"It's not too late to start praying now." Luo Tian said.

Bulma: "..."

A brief silence followed.

"If Vegeta can't transform this time... maybe Goku will win." Bulma lamented.

"In a sense, Ultra Instinct can also be considered a transformation." Luo Tian replied, "It's just that Goku's level of comprehension isn't high enough yet, so he has no way to trigger another transformation."

"Transformation?" Bulma blinked, "You mean turning into that ugly Great Ape?"

"No." Luo Tian smiled, "According to my classification system, one can transform at the intermediate level, which is to say, changing one's own form."

"Intermediate? Transformation?" Bulma couldn't make sense of any of this.

"However, once you reach the later stages, you return to simplicity." Luo Tian added.

"What do you mean?" Bulma asked.

"It means that the Primary, Intermediate, Mega, and God levels are all forms of transformation, but once you reach the True God and Super God levels, transformations become meaningless. Just like me right now—my base state is already the Super God level," Luo Tian smiled.

"Let's not talk about that for now... we should just pray together..." Bulma gave a bitter smile.

King Kai's Planet.

King Kai also watched Son Goku and the others on Earth in silence.

"What a pity... they were so close to victory," King Kai sighed.

But then again, that special technique of Goku's was actually quite handy.

Still, if you already know such a strange technique, why did you come to learn my Kaioken?

I just don't get you.

What was it that Goku learned, anyway?

I remember that kid mentioned it once.

But now I've forgotten.

Forget it, it's not important!

Better to just survive first.

Battlefield.

Vegeta was still brutalizing Son Goku.

How embarrassing!

I, the most gifted elite warrior, have taken this long to beat a low-class warrior.

It's a good thing most Saiyans died early; the only ones left are the two of us and that half-breed.

No, wait, there's also that Captain of the Guard named Luo Tian.

Right, is Luo Tian a Saiyan?

He must be, right?

If he weren't a Saiyan, how could he be our Captain of the Guard?

That's a relief, at least.

If there were more surviving Saiyans, it would be humiliating if word got out.

I'll crush you, you low-class warrior!

Vegeta rained a flurry of kicks down on Son Goku.

"Stop it!" Son Gohan erupted in rage, his aura surging wildly.

"What?" Vegeta was slightly stunned, turning his head to look at Son Gohan behind him.

"I'm going to defeat you!" Son Gohan shouted.

"Oh? Just you, you little brat?" Vegeta looked on with contempt.

"Waaah!"

A ball of golden light suddenly bloomed in Son Gohan's hands.

The golden light whistled toward Vegeta.

Vegeta jumped lightly, dodging the energy attack.

"Bang!"

Son Gohan struck quickly, flying up to land a heavy kick on Vegeta's body.

Vegeta flew backward, his face filled with disbelief.

A half-breed from Earth actually managed to hit me!

How detestable!

Vegeta quickly regained his balance and kicked out at Son Gohan.

Son Gohan took the hit and flew backward.

But soon, Son Gohan gritted his teeth and charged back toward Vegeta.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Son Gohan unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks on Vegeta.

"Krillin, come here for a second," Son Goku took this opportunity to call out to Krillin.

Krillin stood up shakily and walked toward Son Goku.

"Goku, this won't work, that guy is still too strong. Why don't you let Gohan run away?" Krillin asked.
