The center of the luxury cruise ship's deck.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Son Goku and Vegeta.
The two stood facing each other.
Both wore barely contained looks of excitement.
After seven days of training, each had mastered a brand-new power.
This showdown was destined to shake the heavens.
The moment their eyes met,
two completely different, powerful auras burst forth.
An invisible wave of energy swept across the area like a gale.
The tables and chairs on the deck, the plates, even the decorative balloons and streamers—
all were blown away by the surging energy.
The sound of things shattering rang out one after another.
"Hey!"
"You two!"
Bulma's furious roar instantly echoed across the deck.
She looked at the party venue, now in complete disarray.
She was trembling with anger.
"This is my birthday party!"
"If you two dare fight here—"
"I'll never forgive you!"
"Believe me, I'll tear down every one of your training rooms!"
Son Goku and Vegeta heard her.
Both of them stiffened.
They exchanged a glance.
Each saw a hint of fear in the other's eyes.
Bulma when she was angry was even more terrifying than a God of Destruction.
"Hehehe."
Son Goku rubbed the back of his head and gave an awkward laugh.
"Sorry, sorry."
"We didn't mean to."
Vegeta cleared his throat too.
A trace of embarrassment crossed his face.
"Hmph."
"The prince would never ruin Bulma's party."
With that,
Vegeta lightly pushed off the ground with his toes.
His body shot into the sky like a cannonball.
Seeing this, Son Goku immediately leapt up as well.
He followed close behind.
The two soon reached an altitude of ten thousand meters.
They had put plenty of distance between themselves and the ship.
That way,
no matter how powerful the shock waves from their battle were,
the people on the deck wouldn't be caught in them.
High above, the wind howled.
Vegeta folded his arms across his chest.
He looked down at Son Goku.
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Son Goku."
"Let me see"
"what that Whis fellow actually taught you."
"I hope your new power"
"doesn't disappoint me too much."
"My power is far beyond anything you can imagine!"
The smile vanished from Son Goku's face.
His gaze grew intensely serious.
He clenched his fists.
His blood began to boil.
"Don't worry."
"I definitely won't disappoint you."
"These past seven days,"
"Whis has taught me a lot."
"Now,"
"I can transform into a Super Saiyan God"
"using only my own power!"
The instant he finished speaking,
a brilliant red aura erupted around Son Goku.
His black hair,
shrouded in the aura, gradually turned bright red.
His frame grew leaner and more upright.
An invisible pressure surrounded him.
It was a divine aura that only gods could sense!
"Super Saiyan God!"
"Th-this can't be!"
Piccolo, aboard the ship, gaped in shock.
His face was filled with disbelief.
He clearly remembered that,
seven days ago, Son Goku had needed Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and even Vegeta's power
to briefly transform into a Super God.
In just seven days,
he'd become able to transform into a Super God using only his own power?
Son Gohan and the others looked just as incredulous.
His growth was simply ridiculous!
High above, at an altitude of ten thousand meters,
Vegeta felt the divine aura emanating from Son Goku.
His brow lifted slightly.
An invisible pressure bore down on him.
But he showed no fear at all.
On the contrary, he was thrilled.
"Divine aura, huh?"
"Interesting."
"But"
"in the face of absolute power, any flashy transformation is useless!"
"Son Goku!"
"Watch closely!"
"This is the power that surpasses Super Saiyan 3!"
"Super Saiyan 4!"
With a furious roar,
Vegeta's ki surged wildly.
Golden flames erupted skyward like a volcano.
His appearance began to change dramatically.
Thick, reddish-brown fur covered his upper body.
His long brown hair flowed down to his shoulders like a waterfall.
The tail behind him turned a vivid red as well.
An aura brimming with wildness and power spread in every direction,
shaking everyone to their core.
"Wh-what kind of form is that?"
"I've never seen anything like it!"
"It's even stronger than Super Saiyan 3!"
Everyone on the deck was instantly drawn to Vegeta's new form.
They all stared wide-eyed.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
There was a transformation beyond Super Saiyan 3?
Just how deep was a Saiyan's potential?
After their brief astonishment,
everyone quickly put the pieces together.
Son Goku had mastered the Super God form
because Whis had trained him.
Vegeta had mastered this entirely new form
because Lord Lin Fan had taught him.
With those two powerhouses personally training them,
it wasn't so strange that they'd made such incredible progress in seven days.
Beside the God of Destruction's private dining table,
Beerus was happily gnawing on a huge piece of beef.
Every so often, he glanced up at the sky.
When he saw Son Goku's Super God form and Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4 form,
Beerus's eyes lit up a little.
"Not bad, not bad."
"These two little guys"
"are rather interesting."
"This power"
"is just barely enough to catch my eye."
Beerus chewed his beef and spoke indistinctly.
He even felt a little itch to fight.
He really wanted to go up there and spar with the two of them.
Ten thousand meters above the ground,
Son Goku stared at Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4 form.
His eyes lit up at once.
He could clearly feel
that Vegeta's power far surpassed Super Saiyan 3 Full Power.
It was even a few steps above his own Super Saiyan God form.
"Incredible!"
"Vegeta!"
"This form of yours"
"is really strong!"
"It's way beyond Super Saiyan 3 Full Power!"
Son Goku praised him sincerely.
A trace of regret flashed through his mind.
"In the past."
"I tried to break through to Super Four, too."
"Unfortunately, I never succeeded."
"But now."
"With Whis's help."
"I've embarked on this entirely new path to Super God."
Son Goku clenched his fists.
His gaze grew utterly resolute.
