The Oppressive Aura of a Super Four

No matter which world Son Goku hails from, he can never shed the attribute of being a martial arts fanatic.

While Goku in the Z era also pursued strength, he gave off the air of a grandmaster. During the Cell saga, he urged Gohan to finish off Cell quickly, warning him not to push Cell into a corner where he might do something drastic. After his death, he chose not to be resurrected for the sake of Earth's safety. Although he gave Cell a Senzu Bean, it was to better showcase Gohan's power—in layman's terms, he had the situation under control. In the Majin Buu saga, he focused on nurturing the next generation, ensuring the burden of protecting Earth was passed down from one generation to the next.

However, by the Super era, Goku had changed entirely. His excessive pursuit of immense power led to the prelude of the Tournament of Power. In the Moro saga, when Moro begged for mercy, Goku actually gave the only Senzu Bean to Moro. It was absurd—did he really have that under control? If he wanted to show kindness, couldn't he have just given him some energy like he did with Frieza? He insisted on increasing the difficulty for himself; if not for the divine power remaining from the Grand Supreme Kai inside Uub, Earth would have been finished.

"As you wish."

Gogito stared at Gogeta and spoke slowly.

Gogito clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. Terrifying power erupted from within him, golden light surged across his body, and he entered the Super Saiyan 4 form.

The pressure of Super Saiyan 4 was immense. His shoulder-length hair, muscles brimming with power, the freely swaying tail, and that ambitious posture left Goku No. 1 in the distance completely stunned.

"Sugoi!!!"

Goku No. 1 exclaimed excitedly, his body already itching for a fight.

At this moment, Piccolo's face turned green with fear. He hadn't followed Vegito and the others into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, so naturally, he had never seen this wild Super Saiyan 4.

"I'm coming for you."

Gogito warned Gogeta.

Gogito's figure vanished in an instant.

"Nani??"

Gogeta's pupils constricted. He couldn't track Gogito's movements at all and was instantly kicked flying. Suspended in the air, Gogeta hurriedly steadied himself, searching everywhere for Gogito's silhouette.

But before he could find him, he was struck again. After taking several hits in the air, Gogeta was slammed violently into the ground.

"Ultimate Kamehameha!"

Gogito unleashed his ultimate technique, striking Gogeta directly. Amidst the ruins, Gogeta tried to block with his hands, but it was futile. Fortunately, at the last moment, Gogito withdrew most of the energy, forcing Gogeta to defuse.

Son Goku and Vegeta lay in the crater created by the blast, suffering from heavy injuries.

Gogito landed slowly and raised his hand to use a healing spell (I don't know if Yardrat are capable of this, but I'm setting it so they are; after all, if they can master god-tier skills like Instant Transmission and Forced Spirit Fission, there's no reason they couldn't perform simple healing magic). Son Goku and Vegeta recovered instantly.

"Truly impressive, Gogito!"

Son Goku praised.

"Hmph, I will achieve this transformation sooner or later."

Vegeta still wore his usual prideful expression.

At this time, the others flew over from the distance. After a brief exchange, they looked toward Goku No. 1 and asked about the situation in their world.

Goku No. 1 briefly recounted the development of their timeline. Divergence began with Frieza's invasion of Earth. In this timeline, because Trunks did not arrive in a Time Machine, the Androids ran rampant. Timeline No. 1 followed the original plot, but a catastrophe occurred during the Majin Buu saga: Vegeta was absorbed by Majin Buu, and that man never appeared, leading to all the warriors being absorbed. If Majin Buu hadn't come looking for trouble, Timeline No. 1 would have truly been dominated by Majin Buu.

"Let's return to West City first. They must be waiting anxiously on that side. We can talk more when we get back."

"You all go ahead. I'm going to deal with Majin Buu's egg and that Fat Buu."

Gogito said, then flew away.

Meanwhile, Son Goku used Instant Transmission to take the group back to West City.

Gogito found Majin Buu's egg amidst the ruins. Because there was no Babidi to cast spells, Majin Buu hadn't absorbed any energy; otherwise, given the battle between Gogito and Gogeta earlier, Majin Buu would have already broken out of his shell.

"How should I handle this?"

Gogito was a bit troubled. At the end of the day, Majin Buu was only at the Super Saiyan 3 level and wouldn't be of much help to Gogito.

"Maybe I'll take him back to my timeline. Buu's healing magic is still very useful for that period, and he can protect Tights and her family. Not bad, not bad."

Gogito nodded, muttering to himself.

Next, Gogito searched for the whereabouts of Fat Buu. He found him under a pile of rubble. Gogito decided not to take this Fat Buu; after all, he had a deep bond with Satan, and Gogito already had a Buu of his own, so he wouldn't steal someone else's companion.

Gogito then grabbed Fat Buu and flew back to the egg. He didn't intend to let Majin Buu out yet. He would take him back for Bulma to study, then bring him to his original timeline for Dr. Brief to research, maximizing his value before releasing him.

Just like that, Gogito returned to West City with both Buus.

On this side, everyone who had been absorbed had woken up. They sat around the dining table, eating frantically, leaving the servers stunned. Were these people reincarnated starving ghosts? How could they eat so much!!

"Yo, everyone's here."

Gogito sat down to join the feast; he was a bit hungry after the fight.

"Crunch~"

"Crunch~"

"Crunch~"

Before long, a mountain of plates had piled up in front of Gogito.

"Woohoo~ I'm so full."

Seeing Gogito finish, Goku No. 1 couldn't wait to step forward, followed by Vegeta No. 1, Gohan No. 1, and the two little ones. There was no need to ask; they all wanted to see the Super Saiyan 4 form.

"Say, Gogito, what's up with that form? Is it a new Saiyan transformation?"

Goku No. 1 asked straight to the point.

Goku No. 1 had previously learned from Goku that only Gogito knew how to perform that transformation, and since they didn't know the specifics, they told Goku No. 1 to ask Gogito himself. Vegeta No. 1 had overheard this, and since the two little ones also wanted to see the wild transformation Goku No. 1 had described, they all came along.

"Ok, ok, I'll let you all see it."

Having just finished a meal, Gogito was in a good mood and agreed to their request.

The group then headed to the open space outside.

"You all already know about the transformations preceding Super Saiyan 4, so I won't go over those. Super Saiyan 4 is a transformation I achieved by channeling the power of my tail."

With that, Gogito flicked the tail behind him.

"Super Saiyan 4!!"

Those from Timeline No. 1 and Piccolo were somewhat shocked, while the others, having seen it before, remained exceptionally calm.

Bulma and Tights, however, were speechless. Since they didn't understand combat or how to sense ki, they thought it was just a change in hair color and couldn't see what the fuss was about.

Future Bulma did not think the same way; the stronger, the better. Having endured so much suffering, her perspective was naturally more far-sighted.

Gogito clenched his fists, golden light erupting from his body as his frame expanded, transforming into Super Saiyan 4.

Bulma, who had been listless just a moment ago, instantly widened her eyes, and Tights was equally stunned.

The appearance and aura of Super Saiyan 4, combined with that wicked smile, spoke for themselves.

Gogito walked over to Tights.

"Well? Your husband is pretty handsome, right? Hehe."

"Handsome~"
