Giant Ape Strength

Compared to the burly physique of King Cold, Wang Yang's small frame appeared incredibly agile as he dodged and weaved, yet the vast gap in their combat power meant he was captured by King Cold after only a few exchanges.

Wang Yang was knocked from the sky to the ground, and from the soil into the sea; there was not a single part of his body that did not ache.

Anger! Anger... ah! Wang Yang screamed in his heart, hoping to rely on extreme rage to trigger his transformation into a Legendary Super Saiyan.

Unfortunately, this level of attack was not enough to push him to the brink of fury. His mind remained clear, and deep within his heart, there was instead an indelible excitement surging through his blood.

King Cold toyed with Wang Yang for a while longer, his thick, long leg whipping into Wang Yang's abdomen like a lash, folding him like a shrimp and slamming him into the ground, creating a massive crater in the solid earth.

Hoo! Hoo!

Wang Yang unleashed a burst of energy, blasting away the surrounding dirt. He hovered in mid-air, his clothes tattered, gasping for breath.

He reached up to wipe the corner of his mouth, and upon seeing the smear of red blood on the back of his hand, his expression turned grim.

"How is it? Do you finally realize the gap between us? I haven't even used my full strength, and you're already at your limit." King Cold crossed his arms, looking down at the disheveled Wang Yang with composure; he was eager to see the look of despair on his opponent's face.

There's no other way. Since I can't reach the state of ultimate rage, I'll have to try this move.

At that moment, Wang Yang rapidly condensed a white ball of light in his hand and flung it high into the sky.

"Hmm? This technique is? An Artificial Moon!" King Cold was well-traveled and knew exactly what this signature Saiyan technique was.

The fact that a Saiyan's combat power increased tenfold upon transforming into a Giant Ape was famous throughout the universe.

However, even though King Cold knew about the Giant Ape transformation, he made no move to stop it. He watched Wang Yang with great interest, knowing that even with a tenfold increase, it would be futile in the face of absolute power.

He wanted to defeat his opponent in his strongest form to make him feel true, profound despair.

The blood in Wang Yang's body surged like it was being driven by a pump, and his heart hammered against his ribs like a drum.

ROAR!

Wang Yang's small body rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a massive Giant Ape covered in black fur. With thick limbs, a ferocious face, and jagged fangs, he was a terrifying sight to behold.

Wang Yang felt his body brimming with vast, boundless power, giving him the illusion that he could pull the sky down and shatter it with a single punch.

Clap! Clap!

"A monkey is still a monkey. No matter how much you change, you're just a larger monkey." King Cold clapped and mocked him, showing not a hint of fear despite Wang Yang's Giant Ape combat power of over twenty million.

Wang Yang let out a roar and swung a fist the size of a house toward King Cold, carrying a terrifying gale that swept the sand and stones on the ground to both sides.

King Cold sneered and met the blow with his own purple fist.

The sight of the large and small fists was completely disproportionate, like an ant facing an elephant.

When they collided with a boom, it was unexpected that the little ant actually managed to push the elephant back.

BANG!

The conscious Wang Yang felt a terrifying force travel through his fist, forcing him to stumble back several steps. His massive body stomped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble as if a subterranean dragon were turning over.

King Cold wore a wild, arrogant smile. He flew up and began to rain blows and kicks upon the massive ape—from the front, back, above, and below. His afterimages surrounded Wang Yang, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely track them.

The Giant Ape roared in frustration, swinging its palms wildly like someone trying to swat a fly, but it could never land a hit.

Though Wang Yang had gained a tenfold increase in power as a Giant Ape, reaching a terrifying combat power of over twenty million, his mobility was severely hampered. Facing King Cold, whose combat power exceeded one hundred million, he was reduced to nothing more than a pathetic punching bag.

It was no different from his base state; the only change was that he was slightly more durable.

ROAR!

The Giant Ape roared, seized an opening, and grabbed King Cold.

Holding King Cold, a smile appeared on its hideous face. Immediately, its left hand joined in, and the two massive palms squeezed down on King Cold with all their might.

The sound of bones grinding echoed out.

"Ah!" King Cold screamed in pain, his large head thrashing wildly. The massive, shrill cry brought a pleased, simian smile to the Giant Ape's face.

"I'll crush you, I'll crush you!" The Giant Ape laughed heartily, exerting all its strength as the thick fur on its body stood on end without a breeze.

"Haha, just kidding." Suddenly, King Cold went quiet, looking up at the massive ape head with a laugh.

The Giant Ape Wang Yang was shocked as he suddenly felt a burst of purple energy erupt from within his palms. A powerful force surged out, forcing his hands to slowly pry open until he could no longer hold King Cold.

"Still disappointing!" King Cold stood in mid-air, stretching his body and shaking his head at the Giant Ape. Before his words had even faded, his sturdy frame vanished from the ape's sight. When he reappeared, he had already struck the Giant Ape in the chest with a single punch.

BANG!

ROAR!

Struck by the heavy blow, the Giant Ape's massive body doubled over, and the purple figure continued to unleash a barrage of attacks.

Wang Yang had an epiphany: the Giant Ape form was only useful for bullying weaker enemies. If the opponent was of equal or greater strength, his massive size and sluggish speed made him a living target—just like Buff Trunks when facing Cell.

Relying on his perfect control over his body, Wang Yang attempted to condense all of his power into his core.

ROAR!

Suddenly, the Giant Ape looked up and roared, unleashing all of his energy. It ignited like a flame, radiating a scorching aura that distorted the very light around him.

Struck by the impact of this aura, King Cold was pushed back. To his astonishment, he watched as the Giant Ape's massive body began to shrink.

Returning to his human form, Wang Yang was now covered in a layer of blue film, appearing mysterious and unfathomable.

Wang Yang clenched his fist, feeling his body brimming with explosive power. This strength was even greater than what he had possessed in his Giant Ape form.

By condensing the power of the Giant Ape into his small body, his speed and strength had been sublimated, all without the drawbacks of the ape form.

This power is so strong. Could it be that I've released the power of the Giant Ape while remaining in my normal form? Wang Yang thought to himself, recalling that in Dragon Ball Super, Broly was able to manifest the power of the Giant Ape without transforming.

"Yo! Giving up so soon? I must say, the giant monkey was a bit more durable than the little monkey." King Cold covered his mouth and chuckled.
