Since Saigo's hair had always stood straight up, he had no bangs. His hairstyle was somewhat like Vegeta and his father's, except his forehead wasn't as exposed, and his hair was shorter, shaped like flames. Each tuft was also less spread out!
"Success!"
"Just as I thought, turning Super Saiyan isn't hard. Thank you, System Father!"
Feeling the surging power within him, Saigo felt a faint urge to find someone and pick a fight!
Even the Gravity Chamber in the distance made him want to destroy it with a single Ki blast.
"So this is Super Saiyan? It really gets you fired up! My whole body is filled with the urge to destroy and a strange sense of anger. My blood is boiling with excitement!"
"Truly worthy of being a warrior race! The name says it all!"
After marveling for a while, Saigo returned to his normal state. But as soon as he did, he sensed something was off. "Hmm? Is Super Saiyan really that overbearing? I've returned to normal, but the excitement and anger are still lingering!"
It took a few breaths before he calmed down.
"No wonder Sun Wukong said he couldn't stay rational for long when he transformed into a Super Saiyan. These negative emotions are magnified dozens of times. An ordinary person really would lose control!"
"No wonder Broly loses control so easily whenever he gets angry. If an ordinary Saiyan feels such a strong urge to destroy when he transforms into a Super Saiyan, then what about the Legendary Super Saiyan?"
"Does that mean Broly can only be killed? No! He's the pride of the Saiyan race. I have to find a way to strengthen Broly's mental fortitude! I'll try to find a way through simulations later..."
While Saigo racked his brains for a way to strengthen Broly's mental fortitude, Planet Vegeta was already in an uproar.
Every Scouter currently in use exploded and broke the moment Saigo stopped suppressing his power, leaving many confused Saiyans on high alert.
"What's going on? Has an enemy with a battle power over twenty thousand come to Planet Vegeta?"
"Did your Scouter explode too? Who could this person be?"
"Could it be one of Frieza's men? Someone with a battle power over twenty thousand?"
"One of Frieza's men? Captain, we should report this right away!"
"Don't panic. All the Scouters the Saiyans use have the same detection limit. I'm sure King Vegeta has already received the news. There's no need for us to worry about it!"
Similar scenes played out across Planet Vegeta's settlements. These Saiyans were ordinary people with no access to the latest classified information.
Only the twenty elite warriors who had received secret training from Saigo knew what was going on!
Each of the twenty elite warriors had taken two relatively powerful squads with them to root out Frieza's lackeys.
Vegeta III's temporary squad.
"King Vegeta! A target with a battle power over twenty thousand has appeared. Could it be Frieza and his men? Should we go and surround them?" one man asked in panic, his face pale with fear.
Vegeta III sensed the immense power and broke into a cold sweat. But it seemed somewhat familiar. He focused on it again, then immediately erupted with joy and shouted, "Warriors, don't be afraid! The person with a battle power over twenty thousand is one of us—and he's our one and only king from now on: King Saigo!"
"I actually abdicated some time ago. I only kept it secret because we had to deal with Frieza!"
"Warriors, our new king, King Saigo, has now become a Super Saiyan. From now on, we don't have to fear Frieza or act according to his whims!"
"Warriors, charge! For our freedom, let's crush those filthy rats Frieza planted among us!"
In his heart, he shouted even more frantically: Good heavens! King Saigo's power is unbelievably strong!
Is this the power of a Super Saiyan?
It's suffocating!
I, Vegeta III, have to become a Super Saiyan too!
I must follow in King Saigo's footsteps!
I have to!
Vegeta III's revelation was so unbelievable that the members of his temporary squad were stunned. They stood motionless for several seconds, unable to react.
"King Vegeta, is... is what you said true?" one Saiyan finally asked in a timid voice.
His trembling legs and evasive gaze made it clear how anxious and frightened he was.
Given Vegeta III's usual temperament, the Saiyan who had just spoken might already have been on his way to see King Yama.
The instant the question left his mouth, the others instinctively stepped away, looking at him with a mixture of pity and fear.
Just as they all expected Vegeta III to kill him on the spot, they heard Vegeta III declare with great passion, "Haha! From today on, you don't need to call me King Vegeta anymore.
"I'm no longer the King of Saiyans. From now on, there'll only be one King of Saiyans: King Saigo!
"You can call me Vegeta III or Captain Vegeta!"
There was no trace of pretense on his face, only sincere excitement and admiration.
He was already shouting inwardly, too: Wonderful! King Saigo's power is simply overwhelming. He must be a Super Saiyan, right?
What a terrifying aura.
It's incredible!
Although the temporary squad members had heard what Vegeta III said, they still couldn't believe it. They were simply astonished by his unusual behavior and had no idea what he was up to, so they all remained suspicious.
Seeing their reaction, Vegeta III smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that in the past, he had only made his people fear him. They didn't trust him at all!
He immediately wiped the smile from his face and asked sternly, "What? Are you afraid to call me by my name or call me Captain?"
Little did he know, the moment he put on a stern expression, everyone thought, Now that's the King Vegeta I know!
Much better!
Aloud, they all replied in unison, "No, no! We wouldn't dare, sir!" x20
Vegeta III clenched his fists in anger. The moment the others saw it, they tensed up and leaned back, as if ready to run at any moment!
Vegeta III gritted his teeth. He was about to curse them all as a bunch of cowards, but then he suddenly remembered Saigo's lesson: to become a Super Saiyan, one needed a certain level of battle power as well as enough S-Cells in one's body.
The way to increase S-Cells was to have a gentle temperament. The calmer and more stable one's personality, the faster one could increase one's S-Cells. The more S-Cells one had, the easier it was to transform into a Super Saiyan.
Remembering this, Vegeta III took several deep breaths to quell his anger. Then he put on what he thought was a very calm expression and said with a slow smile, "Enough talk. Let's hurry up and finish the task King Saigo gave us. After that, we'll pay our respects to our new king together!"
"Come on, let's go~"
Vegeta III strode ahead, while the others exchanged glances before following, their minds full of questions!
As he walked in front, Vegeta III kept reassuring himself.
I mustn't get angry!
I have to keep calm!
I have to become a Super Saiyan!
Don't get angry!
Stay calm!
Stay calm...
Later, this day came to be jokingly known as Old King Awakening Day.
The temporary squad members accompanying Vegeta III weren't the only ones who reacted this way. The other nineteen elite warriors ran into the same situation. Some even threatened to report them to King Vegeta, insisting that he would punish them.
Yet not one of the nineteen elite warriors showed any anger or panic. In fact, they welcomed the idea of being reported and said they didn't mind at all!
Time would prove everything!
