Gods and Gods

"Yeah, what about it?"

Son Goku looked a bit confused as to why Lei Chen would ask him such a question.

"Nothing much, you'll know soon enough!"

As he spoke, Lei Chen placed the index finger and thumb of his left hand against his forehead, while his right palm faced Son Goku. A silvery-white light began to emerge from the center of his palm.

"Oh?"

Son Goku watched Lei Chen with curious eyes as he suddenly aimed his right hand at him. He wasn't worried in the slightest that Lei Chen might attack him; in his view, Lei Chen's power was far above his own, and there was no need for such petty tricks.

Only Son Gohan and the others in the distance were worried that Lei Chen might strike at Son Goku.

However, Vegeta had spent a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Lei Chen, and he trusted that Lei Chen would not harm Son Goku.

As the silvery-white light from Lei Chen's right palm landed on Son Goku, Son Goku's body, bathed in the light emitted from Lei Ge's hand, slowly grew larger until he finally returned to his middle-aged appearance.

"Oh, that's strange! How come you seem to have shrunk, Lei Chen?"

"Oh, Pan, why have you suddenly become so much shorter? That's weird, I haven't even transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, have I?"

After glancing at Lei Chen, Son Goku turned his gaze to Pan, who had flown over to his side out of concern. He suddenly realized that Pan had become much shorter; he was now several heads taller than her.

He had only seen the light from Lei Chen's hand land on him, and now everything before his eyes had changed drastically.

"Grandpa, it's not that I've become shorter, it's that you've become bigger."

Pan said in astonishment.

"Dad, you've returned to your original form!"

Son Goten said to Son Goku with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it! I was wondering why you all suddenly got smaller; it turns out I'm the one who got bigger."

Son Goku's face broke into a smile as he said this happily. Although, given his incredibly simple-minded nature, he didn't really care whether his body was in its adult form or its childhood form.

Still, his previous child-sized body had truly caused him quite a bit of trouble.

"Hmph!"

Vegeta let out a cold snort, his eyes fixed firmly on Son Goku. With his body suddenly enlarged, Son Goku's power and stamina had increased significantly. The gap between them hadn't been that large before, but now that Son Goku had returned to his adult form, his stamina had naturally returned to its peak state.

After being turned into a child by Shenron, Son Goku had once said that although his body had shrunk, his power hadn't, but his stamina had worsened significantly—for instance, he couldn't maintain his Super Saiyan 3 transformation for as long as he used to.

Now that Son Goku had pulled away from him by a significant margin again, Vegeta was naturally in a foul mood. If Son Goku's current Super Saiyan 4 combat power was 285 trillion, then Vegeta's was still at 252 trillion. Although Vegeta's power had increased slightly after his stamina recovered, it was still a bit lacking compared to Son Goku.

"Thud!"

"This is?"

Vegeta was stunned for a moment, instinctively catching the small bag Lei Ge had tossed to him.

"These are Senzu Beans!"

Vegeta's face lit up with joy. With so many Senzu Beans, no matter how hard he pushed himself in training, he wouldn't have to worry about his body breaking down. In other words, he now had a way to quickly surpass Son Goku.

"Well then, everyone!"

"It's time to say goodbye. I've been in this dimension for quite a while, and it's time for me to return to my own."

Lei Chen said with a smile. He didn't mention the Evil Dragon to Son Goku, knowing that the Supreme Kai would naturally inform him.

As he spoke, a black hole appeared beside Lei Chen. He waved at Son Goku and the others, signaling that he was leaving.

Super Dimension.

With my current strength, can I continue to protect myself in front of the God of Destruction!

Lei Chen thought to himself.

After returning to this world, Beerus, Champa, Hit, and the others would soon appear.

In the original plot, Son Goku was able to force out 70% of Beerus's power when he first transformed into a Super Saiyan God, and at that time, Beerus hadn't even used his God of Destruction state.

Lei Chen now believed that his own Super Saiyan 4 should be slightly stronger than Son Goku's Super Saiyan God, perhaps equivalent to 80% of Beerus's strength.

However, Super Blue Vegeta was only slightly stronger than a candidate for God of Destruction, while a true God of Destruction was far more powerful than a candidate. Super Saiyan Blue was dozens of times stronger than Super Blue.

It was impossible to calculate Beerus's true strength.

Lei Chen felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.

Earth!

"What's going on? I can't sense Goku's ki anymore?"

Krillin said in shock.

"Could this be the realm of the gods?"

Piccolo asked with a curious and questioning look on his face.

Suddenly, a divine aura erupted around Son Goku, and at the same time, a vast, brilliant ocean of starlight burst forth from behind him.

A mysterious, soft, bright red aura erupted from Son Goku, causing his appearance to change once again.

His hair turned a vibrant red, his physique became leaner, and his eyes seemed to grow a size larger.

"Finally, I did it!"

Son Goku let out a sigh of relief. Ever since he heard Lei Chen mention that there was a Super Saiyan God beyond the Super Saiyan 3, Son Goku had frequently gathered Son Gohan, Son Goten, and Trunks to train. Now, he had finally succeeded in transforming into a Super Saiyan God.

This power is incredible; it's at least twenty times that of a Super Saiyan 3. With this explosive force, even a Super Saiyan 3 thirty times stronger than before wouldn't be a match for me.

Having reached the realm of gods, Son Goku's fighting spirit surged.

"Lord Beerus! Let's test this out!"

Beerus floated up, looking at the Son Goku before him. A smile appeared on his face. He had easily dispatched the Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku earlier, but the Son Goku who had now successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan God finally made him take things a bit more seriously. "Son Goku, I hope you don't disappoint me."

As he spoke, an invisible, terrifying pressure radiated from Beerus, bearing down on Son Goku.

Almost simultaneously, Son Goku let out a loud roar, his red aura surging violently. His entire body turned into a streak of light, suddenly appearing right beside Beerus.

However, Beerus blocked Son Goku's attack with just one hand. Compared to when he had defeated Son Goku with a single finger earlier, it was clear that Beerus was now significantly more serious.

"Now this is more like it!" A faint smile appeared on Beerus's face.

"Lord Beerus, my power doesn't end here!"

As Son Goku spoke, an even greater power erupted from his body, and he charged toward Beerus as a flash of red light.

The battle between gods erupted at this very moment.
