Lei Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he had assumed the energy of a Super Saiyan God was merely 24 trillion, and even adding the energy of a Golden Great Ape would only bring it to 39 trillion. However, Lei Chen had not expected that after transforming into a Golden Great Ape, his Super Saiyan God energy would skyrocket tenfold.
This was the only reason Lei Chen had been able to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan 4.
"How is this possible?"
Son Goku and Baby stared at Lei Chen in shock.
Son Goku could never have imagined that Lei Chen would successfully transform into a Super Saiyan 4. One had to know that Lei Chen's power was ten times weaker than his own, yet after the transformation, his energy was on par with his own full-power state.
"Nothing is impossible!"
As Lei Chen spoke, he instantly appeared beside Baby's right cheek and kicked him flying.
Lei Chen was a man who held grudges; if you give me a punch, I return a kick.
"Here, Kakarot!"
After kicking Baby away, Lei Chen produced a Senzu Bean and tossed it to Son Goku.
"Th-this is a Senzu Bean!"
Son Goku's expression was one of astonishment; he had not expected this stranger of a Saiyan to possess a Senzu Bean.
"Eat it. I know that when you transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, your strength hadn't fully recovered. Otherwise, Baby wouldn't have been a match for you at all."
Lei Chen smiled at Son Goku.
The Senzu Beans in this world had already been exhausted by Son Goku and Vegeta.
This was the reason why Son Goku hadn't eaten a Senzu Bean while fighting the Evil Dragon; otherwise, Son Goku's power would have been even greater than in the original story, and perhaps he and Vegeta could have successfully fused.
"Although I don't know why you're helping me, I still want to thank you."
As Son Goku spoke, he swallowed the Senzu Bean Lei Chen had given him.
With Son Goku's intelligence, he would never suspect Lei Chen of having any ulterior motives. In Son Goku's eyes, since Lei Chen's power surpassed his own current state, there was no need for him to resort to underhanded tactics.
After consuming the Senzu Bean, Son Goku's energy immediately recovered, and his aura surged violently, with golden rays of light erupting from his body.
Under these golden rays, Son Goku's aura grew frantically, perhaps due to the nature of the Saiyan physiology.
Once Son Goku returned to his peak, his power was even greater than that of a peak Super Saiyan 4. If Lei Chen was at 240 trillion, then Son Goku was at 260 trillion.
This scene made Baby's scalp tingle, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.
In Baby's view, if it weren't for Lei Chen, he would have already killed Son Goku. But because Lei Chen had interfered, Son Goku's power now actually surpassed his own.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on? Even if Son Goku ate a Senzu Bean to recover his energy, how could his power increase by so much? I'm afraid he has far surpassed me."
Baby looked at Son Goku with a dark expression. Realizing he was no match, his eyes suddenly flashed, and a different thought took root in his mind.
If I could fuse with this person, how strong would my power become?
Baby thought to himself, and this was his only remaining option. As long as he fused with Lei Chen, then...
Thinking of this, Baby began to feel a surge of excitement.
In his opinion, the fact that Lei Chen had been able to kick him away earlier was merely a fluke. Although he didn't know how Lei Chen had managed to transform into a Super Saiyan 4, he believed Lei Chen's power was at most equal to his own.
If he could fuse with Lei Chen's body, his power would become several times stronger than it was now—at the very least, no worse than Son Goku's, and perhaps even superior.
"Baby, this time, I won't give you many more chances. I will end this battle in an instant."
As Son Goku spoke, the golden aura radiating from his body grew increasingly brilliant. The aura emitted by a Super Saiyan 4 was gold.
