"The World!"
At the critical moment, Hit hurriedly summoned his Stand, Star Platinum, and activated its ability to stop time.
Time came to a halt.
Within this frozen time, Hit was the only one who could move.
Breaking into a cold sweat, Hit looked at the Destruction Energy Sphere right in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
He could sense the aura of destruction coming from the energy sphere.
One hit would mean certain death.
Fortunately, there was still time!
Hit was just about to move Cabba and the others somewhere the Destruction Energy Sphere couldn't reach when—
He was astonished to discover...
The Golden Great Ape before him had moved!
"ROAR!!!"
The Golden Great Ape let out a deafening roar.
Hit covered his ears and stumbled back several steps, shaken by the sheer force of the sound. He narrowed his eyes at the Golden Great Ape before him, his heart trembling. "How can such an impossible monster exist?!"
It could actually move inside my time-stop space?
Hit hurriedly took advantage of the Golden Great Ape's distraction and whisked Cabba and the others away at incredible speed.
Nine seconds passed in the blink of an eye!
Time began to flow again...
RUMBLE!!!
BOOM!!
The terrifying Destruction Energy Sphere crashed into the ground with a tremendous roar. Everything it touched turned to ash—not even dust remained.
"What? How can that energy sphere be so terrifying?" Caulifla cried in shock.
"Big Sis, we have to wake Master up." Kale's expression was grave.
"Master..." Cabba's face was heavy with concern.
"The situation is serious...and it's not looking good for us." Hit stared at the enormous Golden Great Ape before him and spoke in a deep voice. "My Star Platinum has no effect on him."
"What? Big Brother Hit's Star Platinum can't affect Master either?" Caulifla was stunned.
Cabba couldn't believe it, either.
"No matter what, we have to try." Kale gazed solemnly at the distant Golden Great Ape. "If we don't stop him, Master will destroy the entire Planet Sadala."
"Big Brother Hit, send me up there. I'll try to wake Master." Caulifla transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.
This was the result of her twenty days of training.
She had successfully advanced from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan 2.
"Fine." Hit's face was tense.
Star Platinum appeared behind him once more and picked Caulifla up.
"ORA!"
Star Platinum hurled Caulifla toward Mu Yang in his Golden Great Ape form like a cannonball.
Caulifla landed on the Golden Great Ape's broad shoulder.
"Big Brother Mu Yang, do you remember me?"
"Wake up!"
Caulifla's face was full of worry. "If this keeps up, you'll destroy all of Planet Sadala!"
The Golden Great Ape Mu Yang had become suddenly fell silent and stopped moving. He stood motionless.
"Cauli...fla."
Mu Yang spoke slowly through the Golden Great Ape's mouth, his reason gradually returning.
"Don't worry. I can feel that I'm able to transform into a Super Saiyan 4 now."
"Now!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Mu Yang's enormous ape body rapidly shrank. Brilliant light erupted around him, illuminating every corner of Planet Sadala.
"Big Sis Caulifla, did it work?" Kale cried with delight.
"Wonderful! Master can finally transform into a Super Saiyan 4!" Cabba clenched his fists, his face alight with excitement.
"..." Hit stood silently, gazing at the light in the distance.
As time passed,
the light gradually dimmed.
At last, it vanished completely!
Mu Yang's figure appeared before them, utterly transformed.
Red fur, powerful muscles, and a sharply defined face. A faint, confident smile touched his lips, and red markings around his eyes stood out clearly.
His wild, unruly black hair fell to his shoulders. A powerful aura radiated from him without pause, making him look both handsome and savage.
Kale, Caulifla, and Cabba were all stunned by Mu Yang's deep, overwhelming aura. Even someone as powerful as Hit was shaken.
Strong—he was unbelievably strong!
They could sense the sheer magnitude of Mu Yang's power. If any of them faced him, they wouldn't last a single move!
And the Super Saiyan 4 Mu Yang had become wasn't the ordinary Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku had transformed into.
He was a Legendary Super Saiyan 4. The increase in power was even more terrifying!
It was nowhere near comparable to an ordinary Super Saiyan 4.
Mu Yang could feel that the energy inside him was practically inexhaustible. The ki he expended was less than the ki that flowed back into him.
It was like a perpetual motion machine. If Mu Yang wanted, he could maintain the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation indefinitely.
Strong—he was unbelievably strong!
Even Mu Yang, who had always been calm, couldn't help showing a hint of delight.
Mu Yang didn't suppress his aura, and before long, it spread across the entire universe.
Namek.
A figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. Shock flashed through them as he gazed up at a distant point in the sky. "Who could it be? How can someone be this powerful?"
People on planets everywhere were stunned by the immense aura.
But in less than a second, it vanished without a trace.
It was so brief that the aliens even wondered if they'd imagined it.
In truth, Mu Yang had suppressed his aura from faraway Planet Sadala.
As long as Mu Yang didn't want them to, not even the Grand Minister could see how powerful he was now!
Mu Yang took a deep breath, maintaining his Super Saiyan 4 transformation.
"Master!" Caulifla happily threw her arms around Mu Yang, beaming.
"All right, Caulifla." Mu Yang smiled warmly and patted her head. "See? I'm fine."
"That's wonderful, Master. When you transformed into a Great Ape, I was so scared." Caulifla admitted honestly. "I was really afraid of losing you."
"But I'm still right here, aren't I?" Mu Yang said with a smile, gently stroking Caulifla's head. "Come on, let's go back to Cabba and the others."
"Mm." Caulifla nodded emphatically, tears of joy in her eyes.
Mu Yang took the exhausted Caulifla by the hand and flew with her toward Hit.
In the blink of an eye,
Mu Yang had brought Caulifla to stand before Hit and the others.
"Master!"
"Big Sis Caulifla!"
When they saw Mu Yang arrive with Caulifla, Kale, Cabba, and Hit quickly gathered around them.
"Sorry for making you worry." Mu Yang's face was apologetic.
"It's fine, Master. That doesn't matter," Cabba said excitedly. "Could you let me see how strong Super Saiyan 4 is?"
"Sure." Mu Yang smiled and accepted the request. He wanted to test just how powerful he was now, too.
