You're No Match for Me

Wang Shen had never imagined that he would witness the appearance of a Super Saiyan God on this trip to Universe 6!

It was the greatest shock he had experienced since coming to this world.

This was truly something beyond the original story.

Universe 6 and Universe 7 really were twin universes.

Universe 7 had legends of Super Saiyans, but not a trace of a Super Saiyan God.

Universe 6 had a Super Saiyan God, but no concept of Super Saiyans at all.

Wang Shen turned to look at Cabba, who was bowing his head.

The fervor in the young man's eyes was practically overflowing.

Now Wang Shen understood why Cabba was so slight.

He'd been trying to emulate his idol.

Unfortunately, not knowing the truth, he hadn't managed to capture the essence of King Sadala.

Instead, he'd ended up looking as frail as he did now.

Still, fortunately, he had excellent talent and a solid foundation. With a little guidance, he could break through to Super Saiyan 1, or even Super Saiyan 2!

As Wang Shen studied King Sadala and Cabba,

everyone present except Cabba also turned their attention to Wang Shen, scrutinizing the Saiyan from another universe from every angle.

"This Saiyan has unusual hair like King Sadala, unlike ordinary Saiyans—and he has a tail, too!"

"Could he be the king of the Saiyans in another universe? He certainly has an extraordinary air about him!"

"Perhaps. Maybe that unusual hair color is a sign of a Saiyan king."

"Judging by the pressure I feel from him, he's nowhere near a match for our King Sadala."

"Of course not! Our King Sadala is the strongest Saiyan!"

They whispered among themselves, then started boasting about their own king.

At such close range, though, it was practically the same as talking right in Wang Shen's ear.

His eye twitched and his mouth curled into a scowl. He was thoroughly unimpressed.

He certainly wasn't a match for a Super Saiyan God.

No matter how deep his reserves ran, they couldn't make up for a gap as vast as a chasm.

But as a Saiyan, how could he truly be convinced without fighting?

At that moment, King Sadala seemed to have had enough of his subordinates' brazen chatter. He finally spoke.

"Cabba tells me you're a Saiyan from another universe. What's your name? And what are the Saiyans in your universe like?"

King Sadala's voice was deep and resonant, touched with authority and force. He had the bearing of a born ruler.

Wang Shen drew his sidelong gaze back and met King Sadala's crimson eyes.

Golden light rippled through his own eyes, revealing his extraordinary nature. He answered without deference or fear.

"That's right. I'm a Saiyan from Universe 7. You can call me Karotis!"

"The Saiyans in our universe live on Planet Vegeta. But King Vegeta offended a powerful god, and the planet was destroyed thirty-three years ago."

"Only a handful of pure-blooded Saiyans remain."

Wang Shen's expression didn't change, and he showed no grief.

Nor did he feel hatred or anger toward Beerus.

He had no deep attachment to Planet Vegeta.

Besides, just as Son Goku had said,

the Saiyans had conquered far too many worlds and slaughtered countless innocents. They had destroyed many planets and species, so their own extinction had been their comeuppance.

At those words, everyone present was stunned, their pupils quaking in disbelief.

The mighty Saiyans, a warrior race, had been wiped out!

And it was because of their own king!

They all turned to look at King Sadala on his throne. If he hadn't appeared back then, they would probably have met the same fate.

Instantly, gratitude and reverence welled up in their hearts.

Wang Shen paid no attention to those around him. He kept his eyes fixed on King Sadala, waiting for his reaction.

Ever since seeing King Sadala as a Super Saiyan God, Wang Shen had been intensely curious about him.

King Sadala didn't seem to mind Wang Shen's impudent stare. His eyes flickered, and after a moment's thought, he asked,

"What god was it?"

"The God of Destruction."

King Sadala gave a slight nod, as if he'd expected that answer, and said nothing more.

He looked at Wang Shen's brilliant golden hair and felt the aura about him, so similar to his own. Then he asked,

"What state is your golden hair?"

I haven't even asked what state your red hair is.

Wang Shen curled his lip and replied,

"In Universe 7, there's a popular legend about a transformation called Super Saiyan. This is what it looks like."

Then Wang Shen gestured toward King Sadala's red hair.

"And what's the deal with your red hair, King Sadala?"

King Sadala smiled faintly.

"Like yours, it's a special state for Saiyans."

I know. It's the normal state of a Saiyan who's mastered God Ki.

That form was a good path, too.

Wang Shen had actually considered pursuing that divine path himself.

After all, he had Whis's personal guidance. For him, it would be a highway to the heavens.

But...

Wang Shen still wanted to try walking a path rooted in the Saiyans themselves, one that belonged to them alone.

As for the realm of the gods, he would leave that to Son Goku and Vegeta!

He believed the Saiyan path could shine just as brilliantly, and would be no less than the path of the gods!

It was simply a clash of technique and power.

The power of the Great Ape was the Saiyans' true power. It put no strain on the body and could be wielded as naturally as one's own arm.

It was a more balanced and well-rounded form than Full Power!

If a mortal body couldn't withstand divine power, then he would grow to the mortal body's utmost limits!

Golden light rippled through Wang Shen's eyes, dazzling to behold.

They blazed with fighting spirit and absolute confidence!

He swept his gaze over the Saiyans of Universe 6, then fixed it on King Sadala.

"As a Saiyan, a member of a warrior race, I came here to find an opponent and improve myself through a satisfying fight."

"So, who among you will fight me?"

Wang Shen stood proudly in the middle of the Royal Palace and surveyed the room, like a lion waiting for someone to challenge his dominance.

An invisible pressure spread through the hall and weighed on everyone's hearts.

Anyone who wasn't strong-willed enough would have surrendered without a fight under Wang Shen's gaze!

The powerful warriors among the king's retainers sharpened their gazes, their ki surging.

He had an impressive aura, like someone who couldn't be defeated.

But...

He was so arrogant!

Someone stepped forward.

His battle armor gleamed menacingly, covered in the marks of countless fights.

"Karotis, I'll fight you!"

Murak stamped down, and a sonic boom rang out as he shot forward.

Amid a roar, he threw a punch straight at Wang Shen's face.

Wang Shen remained calm, his back straight.

Facing Murak's surging attack, he simply raised one hand and caught Murak's fist with ease.

Murak's gaze sharpened.

As expected of a Saiyan who had come from another universe seeking a fight. He was no empty boast!

He drew a deep breath and tensed his arm, trying to wrench himself free of Wang Shen's grip.

But to his shock, no matter how hard he struggled, his fist remained completely motionless in Wang Shen's hand!

Wang Shen watched Murak struggle, his eyes utterly calm.

He shook his head.

"You're no match for me."
