Vegeta raised an eyebrow.
He stared into Lin Fan's eyes and pressed him for an answer.
"Lord Lin Fan!"
"This tail..."
"Is it related to transforming into Super Saiyan 4?"
Lin Fan withdrew his finger and gave a calm nod.
"That's right."
"A Saiyan's tail is the source of his power."
"It's also essential for transforming into Super Four."
"With your current full-power Super Saiyan 2 strength..."
"Combined with the boost from this tail..."
"You're already qualified to attempt breaking through to Super Four."
At those words...
Vegeta's breathing instantly quickened.
He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with such fervor that it nearly spilled over.
"That's great!"
"Then let's get started!"
"I can hardly wait!"
Lin Fan waved a hand, signaling him to calm down.
"Don't rush."
"A tail and strength aren't enough to transform into Super Four."
"There's one more crucial thing you need."
Vegeta froze.
"Something crucial?"
"What is it?"
Lin Fan looked up at the sky above the God of Destruction Realm.
"An Artificial Full Moon."
"Only under the light of a full moon..."
"Can a Saiyan's tail absorb enough Blutz Waves..."
"And thereby awaken the Saiyan blood within."
"This is a necessary step to transform into Super Four."
Vegeta suddenly understood.
He patted his chest, looking completely confident.
"An Artificial Full Moon?"
"That's easy!"
"This is what I'm best at!"
As soon as he spoke...
Vegeta rapidly formed hand signs before his chest.
The ki around him surged wildly toward his palms.
A golden sphere of energy gradually took shape in his hands.
"Watch this!"
He gave a low shout.
Then he hurled the energy ball high into the sky.
Next, he controlled his ki and poured it into the energy ball.
The ball instantly swelled several times over, radiating a soft white light.
At the same time, Vegeta exhaled a stream of oxygen.
The oxygen blended perfectly with the energy ball.
In an instant...
A gigantic Artificial Full Moon hung above the God of Destruction Realm.
Its brilliant moonlight poured down like a waterfall.
It blanketed the entire training ground.
"Not bad."
"It looks a lot better than the one Son Goku made back then."
Lin Fan chuckled and casually teased him.
His words hit just the right spot for Vegeta.
Vegeta lifted his chin, brimming with pride.
"Of course!"
"How could this prince possibly lose to that idiot Son Goku?"
Just then...
The full moon's light shone on the tail behind Vegeta.
Bzzzt! Bzzzt!
A faint crackling sound came from his tail.
Vegeta's body suddenly shuddered.
He could clearly feel it.
An unprecedented power flowed from his tail into his body.
It coursed through his blood, spreading to every part of him.
His heartbeat began to race.
Without realizing it, his eyes turned blood red.
"This is..."
Vegeta gritted his teeth, feeling the changes within him.
Lin Fan's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"Remember this feeling."
"Your Saiyan blood is awakening."
"Next, you'll transform into a Great Ape."
"But unlike an ordinary Great Ape..."
"Transforming from your full-power Super Saiyan 2 state..."
"Will take you straight to Golden Great Ape."
"This is the key step toward transforming into Super Four!"
Vegeta was just about to respond.
A violent power suddenly erupted from within him.
Roar!
A deafening roar burst from his mouth.
His body rose into the air against his will.
The golden aura around him surged instantly.
Countless golden lightning bolts danced wildly through it.
A terrifying presence spread outward like a tsunami.
Beerus, who was bathing in the distant God of Destruction Palace...
Suddenly opened his eyes.
He sniffed, his brow furrowing.
"Hmm?"
"That's a powerful presence."
"Is that kid Vegeta?"
"How did he suddenly unleash such incredible power?"
Meanwhile, at another training ground...
Son Goku was training with Whis.
Feeling the violent presence, he stopped and looked toward the God of Destruction Realm.
His eyes widened.
"Whoa!"
"That presence... it's incredible!"
"It's even stronger than when I'm Super Saiyan 3!"
"What in the world is Vegeta doing?"
Whis stood to one side, a playful smile curling his lips.
"Looks like..."
"They've gotten started over there with Lin Fan."
"Vegeta's potential really is impressive."
"Goku, you'd better step it up."
"Otherwise, Vegeta's going to surpass you."
Son Goku scratched his head and grinned.
"Heh-heh!"
"Don't worry, Whis!"
"I'm not going to lose to him!"
At the training ground in the God of Destruction Realm...
Vegeta's body was undergoing a dramatic transformation.
His muscles swelled wildly.
His height instantly surpassed a hundred meters.
The fur covering his body turned a dazzling gold.
Sharp fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth.
His blood-red eyes were filled with feral savagery.
Golden Great Ape!
Vegeta had successfully transformed into a Golden Great Ape!
His terrifying presence bore down on everything around him like a mountain.
The rocks nearby shattered one after another under the crushing force.
But strangely...
After the terrifying presence reached its peak, it stopped growing.
Lin Fan hovered in midair, watching the Golden Great Ape before him.
He spoke in a grave voice.
"Vegeta!"
"Can you still keep your sanity?"
"Don't let the Golden Great Ape's ferocity devour your mind!"
The Golden Great Ape slowly lowered his head.
Those blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Fan.
Then a voice, brimming with authority, rang across the heavens and earth.
"This prince..."
"How could I..."
"Be devoured... by this kind of power!"
"I am the Saiyan Prince... Vegeta!"
Lin Fan's lips curled upward.
As expected...
Vegeta's willpower far surpassed Son Goku's at the time.
If it had been Son Goku, he would probably have lost control by now and started smashing things.
"Good."
"Looks like you've mastered the Golden Great Ape's power."
"Remember this feeling."
"Now, there's only one last step!"
"Gather every ounce of power inside you!"
"And break through the door to Super Saiyan 4!"
Vegeta roared.
His answer to Lin Fan.
He clenched his enormous fists, each like a giant hammer.
The power inside him began to surge wildly.
Golden aura erupted from his body like a volcano.
The aura poured over the Golden Great Ape's massive frame without end.
Gradually, it condensed into a golden energy shield.
