Everyone's eyes remained fixed on Soya, as if they were afraid they might miss something amazing if they blinked.
Soya could only smile helplessly.
He smiled.
Then he began to speak.
"To transform into a Super Saiyan, you first need to consider your base form!"
Looking at Son Goku and the others, Soya continued.
"The stronger your base form, the more powerful you'll be after transforming. I don't think I need to explain that—you all know it very well."
Son Goku and the others nodded.
"Like Son Gohan, whose full potential was unlocked, entering the Mystic Gohan state by powering up. That's another path for Saiyans.
"But it's a path few Saiyans take. No one knows whether it can be achieved, or how far it can ultimately take you!"
Soya glanced at Son Gohan as he said this, directing his words at him.
"This is Super Saiyan!"
Soya clenched his fists, and an incredibly powerful energy erupted from within him.
In an instant,
golden light spread everywhere, and Soya's energy continued to rise.
At the same time, Soya transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Soya had been careful to control his energy, but even so, the force of it made Vegeta and the others tremble uncontrollably.
However, they quickly steadied themselves.
"A Super Saiyan is fifty times stronger than their base form," Soya said calmly.
"Next is Super Saiyan 2!"
Soya's calm voice rang out again, and he abruptly shook his arm.
But the instant he finished speaking, an even greater force burst from his body.
It was far more powerful than before.
BOOM!
A roaring storm erupted and swept wildly in every direction.
Soya's aura suddenly doubled in strength. Energy billowed around his body like vapor, while arcs of electricity raced through it.
His hair stood up even more, with a single bang falling over his forehead.
His gaze grew sharper. The aura surrounding him made Vegeta, Son Goku, and Son Gohan gasp.
Under the pressure, the three of them immediately unleashed their power, forming a barrier of energy in front of themselves to withstand the force bursting from Soya.
What Soya had said earlier had come true.
If someone weak had been standing here now,
they would likely have been torn to pieces by the power erupting from Soya.
Fortunately, Soya wasn't targeting them. He was merely releasing his energy.
So even the power of Super Saiyan 2 was something Son Goku and the others could withstand after unleashing their own strength.
"Super Saiyan 2 is twice as powerful as a Super Saiyan, which means it's a hundred times stronger than the base form," Soya said, watching the three of them.
"Next is Super Saiyan 3!"
As he said this, Soya kept his eyes on Son Goku.
It was as if he were transforming specifically to show him.
After all, other than Son Goku, the only one who could currently reach Super Saiyan 3 was Gotenks after fusing.
"Ah!"
Soya clenched his fists and let out a low growl.
As he did, the power within him began to surge even more fiercely.
A scorching heat spread through the air.
It was so intense that even Son Goku and the others had to unleash their full power to resist it.
But even then, they had no choice but to retreat.
With their current strength, Son Goku and the others couldn't get within thirty feet of Soya!
Soya's hair quickly grew longer, and the energy around his body became even more immense.
Lightning covered him densely, crackling loudly.
His eyebrows disappeared, and even his appearance changed somewhat, becoming more handsome.
But the aura radiating from him was enough to make anyone who saw it tremble.
"This..."
Watching Soya transform into a Super Saiyan 3, Son Goku couldn't help narrowing his eyes in disbelief.
Vegeta was even more shaken.
"Super Saiyan 3!"
Vegeta clenched both fists so tightly that his nails pierced his skin. Yet, amid the shock, he felt no pain. He stared at Soya, his thoughts a jumbled mess.
To this day, he still couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan 3. It was a deep source of anguish for him.
Son Gohan watched too. Soya's Super Saiyan 3 transformation left him deeply moved.
He had seen Son Goku transform into a Super Saiyan 3 before, and Soya's form looked much the same.
"So this is Super Saiyan 3? It's the same transformation as Dad's, but the difference in power is enormous."
Under the force of Soya's Super Saiyan 3 transformation,
Son Goku and the others felt pressure unlike anything they had ever experienced—pressure they simply couldn't withstand.
All three powered up together, pushing their energy to its absolute limit. Only by joining forces to form a barrier of energy in front of them could they just barely hold back the pressure.
At the same time, as Soya unleashed the full power of Super Saiyan 3, the entire Earth—and even all of Universe 7—
from the South Galaxy to the North Galaxy, and from the East Galaxy to the West Galaxy—
felt the terrifying force radiating from Soya, a power so immense it was suffocating.
"What... what kind of power is this? How can it be so strong?!"
In Hell, King Yemma was handling some business when his expression suddenly changed dramatically, as if he had sensed something.
He rose to his feet, his enormous body towering as he stared into the distance and exclaimed in shock.
"This has to be a joke! How can it be so terrifying?!"
North Kai stared at the orb before him, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"This..."
East Kai looked north. He could sense that this suffocating power was coming from a planet in the North Galaxy.
West Kai and South Kai also looked north. They were all Kais, and although they governed different regions, at that moment they could all feel the unbelievably powerful force coming from the North Galaxy.
Universe 7 had two sacred realms.
Neither belonged to the starry expanse nor to Hell.
They were regions that had been created separately.
These were the sacred realms.
One of them was the Supreme Kai World, where the Supreme Kai of Universe 7 lived.
The Supreme Kai was also known as the Creator God, so this realm was also called the World of the Creator.
At that moment, in the Supreme Kai World, Supreme Kai Shin and Old Supreme Kai were chatting idly.
But the moment Soya's Super Saiyan 3 energy reached them, the entire Supreme Kai World shook violently.
"What is this?"
Old Supreme Kai's gaze sharpened.
"Ancestor, whose energy is this? How can it be so powerful?!" Supreme Kai Shin exclaimed in shock.
