One Year Later

"Hah!"

"Haaaaaa!!!"

Vegeta clenched his fists, his body slightly hunched, as he let out a continuous roar. His aura surged in successive waves, surrounded by golden lightning, as he pushed his power to the absolute limit.

"Haaaaaa!!"

Finally, the golden aura ceased its flickering, unstable state and became a steady, roaring flame. His golden hair grew even more upright and dense, and the arcs of electricity around him crackled incessantly. His expression was cold and taut, and his energy reached a state of stable equilibrium.

Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2 had a combat power of 6 trillion, while Lei Chen was at 24 trillion. Although the gap in strength was still significant, Vegeta could still trade a few blows with Lei Chen thanks to his experience. Furthermore, the two were merely sparring, not engaged in a real battle; otherwise, Vegeta would have been defeated in an instant.

"I am an anomaly. I can transform into Super Saiyan 4 because of the energy of the Super Saiyan God. Otherwise, like you, I would only be able to transform into a Golden Great Ape."

Lei Chen explained.

"Super Saiyan God? Is Super Saiyan God yet another new transformation?"

Vegeta looked at Lei Chen with eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

"You only need to know that Super Saiyan God is on the same level as Super Saiyan 4. Now, since your tail has grown back, as long as you can transform into Super Saiyan 3, you will definitely be able to transform into Super Saiyan 4."

Lei Chen said to Vegeta.

"Hmm! Alright!"

Vegeta didn't overthink it. Although he didn't quite understand what Lei Chen meant by Super Saiyan God, his interest in it waned once he learned it was on the same level as Super Saiyan 4.

A powerful aura accompanied by a flash of golden lightning erupted from Vegeta's body.

"Boom! Boom!"

One year later.

A golden, hundred-meter-tall Golden Great Ape roared in mid-air.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The silver-white Great Ape that Vegeta had transformed into pounded its chest frantically, before clenching its fists in the air and letting out a massive roar from its giant maw.

Ah!

Vegeta's figure shrank, gradually returning to human form!

Yellow pupils, red markings around the eyes.

His hair was black, shoulder-length, and draped from his neck to his chest. His body was covered in dark red fur, including his tail, and there was no lightning surrounding him.

Combat power: 240 trillion.

Vegeta had transformed into Super Saiyan 4 several months ahead of the original timeline, and he had done so without external force, as his tail had successfully grown back with Lei Chen's help.

Having transformed into Super Saiyan 4, Vegeta's combat power had already surpassed that of Lei Chen in Super Saiyan 4, as Lei Chen's combat power in that form was only 120 trillion.

Without transforming into Super Saiyan 4 God, Lei Chen could not defeat Vegeta at all.

At this moment, Lei Chen's Super Saiyan 3 was 6 trillion, Super Saiyan 2 was 5 trillion, Super Saiyan 1 was 750 billion, and his base form was 15 billion.

His Super Saiyan God form was 240 trillion, and when combined with the 240 trillion of Super Saiyan 4, his semi-finished Super Saiyan 4 God form reached 480 trillion.

Having successfully transformed into Super Saiyan 4, Vegeta fixed his gaze on Lei Chen. Lei Chen smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you really think that transforming into Super Saiyan 4 makes you my match?"

"How would I know without a fight? At the very least, in my eyes, my power has already surpassed yours."

Vegeta sneered.

"Is that so?"

As he spoke, a red light erupted from Lei Chen's body.
