Super Saiyan Ape

It's ugly, but the tenfold increase in combat power is real.

However, looking at the two wobbly tails on his lower body made Son Gohan's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, there was no one on Mount Paozu in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, it would have been pure social death.

"Roar, roar~"

Son Gohan roared like King Kong, pounding his chest like a lunatic.

He had entered his silly mode.

But after just a few pounds, Son Gohan's expression turned serious.

He didn't turn into a Black-furred Great Ape tonight for fun, but for another purpose.

The giant Black-furred Great Ape looked up at the moon, clenching its fists tightly.

Then it let out a roar.

"Ahhhhhh~"

A surge of energy rippled out from the black ape, spreading in all directions.

The clouds in the sky began to churn.

Instantly, a gale swept through, and the surrounding forest rustled.

Then, the entire Earth began to tremble slightly.

Son Gohan's aura surged wildly, his black fur shimmering with a metallic luster, and it began to turn golden yellow.

Meanwhile, At Capsule Corp in West City.

Trunks was suddenly awakened from his sleep, his face filled with horror.

A ki, a powerful ki, was rushing towards him.

"Is this Gohan-bro's ki? What happened? This ki is too terrifying."

He jumped out of bed, got dressed, and rushed out the door.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains in South City.

Android 16, who was planting trees overnight, turned his head towards the direction of Mount Paozu in East City.

"Son Gohan, such strong combat power."

After speaking, he was silent for a moment, then continued to bury his head in planting trees.

As if nothing concerned him.

The higher plane of the Dragon Ball world.

The Sacred Land of Gods, Supreme Kai Planet!

Supreme Kai Shin suddenly looked up, his pupils rapidly contracting, revealing a shocked expression.

Kibito noticed the Supreme Kai's strange change and asked, "Lord Supreme Kai, what's wrong?"

A drop of sweat trickled down the Supreme Kai's forehead, and he said, "Ki, a powerful ki has suddenly erupted."

"What? Ki?"

Kibito's eyes widened instantly, because as the Supreme Kai said, he also felt an incredibly powerful aura transmitted from the mortal world to the Sacred Land.

His face was filled with disbelief, and he said in shock, "H-how is this possible? How can ki be transmitted to the Sacred Land? Who is this person?"

Then, the Supreme Kai and Kibito looked at each other, a terrible thought dawning on them.

"Could it be..."

"Could it be Majin Buu?"

"This direction, isn't that where Majin Buu is sealed?"

"Heavens, has Majin Buu awakened?"

"No, no." The Supreme Kai shook his head and continued, "This ki is not Majin Buu's aura. I remember Majin Buu's aura doesn't feel like this."

"Moreover, this aura is even much stronger than Majin Buu's aura. Who is this?"

The Supreme Kai's expression kept changing, becoming extremely vivid.

Then he said to Kibito, "Kibito, let's go and see in the mortal world."

"Yes, Lord Supreme Kai." Kibito replied, raising his hand and placing it on the Supreme Kai's shoulder. With a whoosh, the two of them instantly disappeared.

On Mount Paozu.

Son Gohan had transformed into a Golden Great Ape covered in golden fur.

His entire body was enveloped in a golden aura, and his powerful, invincible aura spread throughout the Four Galaxies.

Super Saiyan Great Ape!

This was the form achieved by transforming into a Super Saiyan on top of the Great Ape state.

Combat power x10 x50!

A 500-fold multiplier!!!

Feeling the incomparably tyrannical power surging within his body, Son Gohan became excited.

He remembered it clearly.

The multiplier for Super Saiyan 3 was only 400 times his base state.

Yet now, this form had already reached a 500-fold increase.

That was a full 100 times more.

Although he had turned into an incredibly ugly giant ape and his speed had decreased, the power was truly overwhelming.

Son Gohan muttered, "I wonder if I can transform even further. If I can reach Super Saiyan 2, that would be a 1000-fold multiplier. Hiss, that's simply terrifying!"

Son Gohan sucked in a cold breath, making his own contribution to the cause of global warming.

He decided to act on the thought.

He stoked his ki, preparing to push toward Super Saiyan 2.

"Aaaaaah~"

"Hum~"

That thick, golden tail twitched, and Son Gohan felt as if he had been electrocuted, his fur standing on end.

He felt a wave of numbness throughout his body, but there was no significant increase in power.

What was going on?

Just then, A figure descended from the sky; Trunks had arrived.

Trunks stared, dumbfounded, at Son Gohan, who had transformed into a Golden Great Ape.

He stammered, "Go, Gohan? How did you end up like this?"

This was his first time seeing Son Gohan transformed into a Great Ape.

If not for the familiar aura radiating from Son Gohan, Trunks wouldn't have dared to recognize him.

Wasn't this change a bit too drastic?

Before Son Gohan could answer, Trunks had a sudden realization. "Right, the moon, it's the moon, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

"Uh..."

Son Gohan swallowed the explanation he had been about to give.

At the same time.

Two figures flashed into existence out of thin air, appearing not far from them.

Supreme Kai and Kibito had arrived as well.

Although there were no fluctuations of ki coming from them, Son Gohan's senses were incredibly sharp right now.

The moment they appeared, Son Gohan had already detected their arrival.

He turned his gaze toward them.

Suddenly being stared at by a pair of blood-red eyes as large as lanterns, Supreme Kai and Kibito were so startled that they took a large step back.

Perhaps feeling that this undermined the dignity of a god, the two forcibly stopped after that one step.

Kibito stepped in front of Supreme Kai, assuming a protective stance, and frowned as he said, "Lord Supreme Kai, what kind of race is this?"

Supreme Kai racked his brain for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, this is the warrior race, the Saiyans."

Just then.

A violent roar interrupted their conversation.

"Aaaaaah~"

Trunks's body deformed wildly, and he too transformed into a massive Black-furred Great Ape.

Now, before Supreme Kai stood a Golden Great Ape and a Black-furred Great Ape.

Both giant apes were filled with immense intimidation.

Kibito placed his hand on Supreme Kai, looking ready to teleport away at a moment's notice.

The two of them shared a tacit understanding, swallowing their saliva simultaneously as they stared at Son Gohan and Trunks without a word.

Son Gohan also watched the newly transformed Great Ape Trunks with vigilance.

He was not yet sure if Trunks could retain his sanity after transforming into a Great Ape.

If Trunks had truly gone mad, Son Gohan had already decided exactly where to strike to knock him unconscious.

Just then, the Black-furred Great Ape Trunks turned his head to look at Son Gohan.

He rumbled, "Brother Gohan, I—I think I've turned into a monster too, though my color is a bit different from yours."

Hearing Trunks speak, Son Gohan let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, no need to resort to a sneak attack.

Son Gohan laughed, "Hahaha, congratulations, Trunks! To retain your reason even after transforming into a Great Ape—you truly are worthy of the Saiyan royal bloodline. Hmm, you're quite well-endowed, too."

As he spoke, his eyes darted toward Trunks' lower half.

"Ah~!" Trunks let out a shout, quickly covering his crotch as he retorted loudly, "Brother Gohan, you're one to talk! Yours is twice as big as mine!"

"Hahahaha..." Son Gohan burst into laughter.

"We should get out of here quickly. There are two perverts over there peeping at us, and it's making my skin crawl."

"Brother Gohan, we're both literally covered in fur right now."

Son Gohan: "..."
