He did not accept it.

He did not accept such a defeat.

Turles struggled to his feet, the unwillingness in his eyes nearly overflowing.

Saiyans, the strongest warrior race in the universe, the Saiyans!

How could he lose to a nobody?

"You forced my hand."

Although he really did not want to use this final resort, he had no other choice.

He raised his hand, and a white-hot sphere of light condensed in his palm, radiating brilliance that illuminated the dim surroundings.

As long as he could transform, his combat power would instantly skyrocket tenfold; by then, it would be 300,000 against 40,000.

The advantage was his!

"Hahaha, you arrogant fool, let me show you the true power of us Saiyans."

He tossed the light sphere in his hand toward the sky.

"Explode! Artificial Moon!"

The light sphere rose to its peak and suddenly burst, transforming into a blinding white light.

Turles's tail slid from his waist, twisting wildly in the air.

His body began to expand rapidly, muscles bulging, bones creaking, and a layer of thick brown fur sprouted across his skin.

"Roar--!"

A heaven-shaking roar echoed across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a mountain-like Great Ape appeared!

Raditz squinted his eyes as he watched it all.

With the Great Ape Transformation, Turles's combat power had increased tenfold.

However, no matter how great the power, a beast that had lost its reason was futile.

Turles kept spouting "low-class warrior" left and right, but he could not escape the fact that he was one himself.

"Roar!!"

The Great Ape opened its mouth, gathering a terrifying energy sphere within, and blasted it violently toward the front.

There was no target, only pure destruction.

The light sphere exploded in the distance, carving a trench several meters deep into the ground, sending gravel flying and filling the air with smoke and dust.

The Great Ape pounded its chest in excitement, then fired another energy cannon in a different direction.

Daizi finally came to his senses, flew to Raditz's side, and asked anxiously, "Raditz, what is going on with this guy? How did he suddenly turn into this monster?"

"Saiyans." Raditz watched the rampaging Great Ape. "This is the Saiyan Great Ape Transformation."

"Saiyans?" Daizi realized, having heard of that savage warrior race.

"Are we just going to watch?"

"If this continues, this planet will be completely destroyed by it."

"There isn't much left to destroy anyway," Raditz looked around; aside from that Tree of Might, there was not a shred of life left, "is there?"

Daizi fell silent.

Raditz tilted his chin: "Don't be impatient, look at what it's about to do."

After destroying the area, the Great Ape's massive head finally turned toward the Tree of Might.

In the eyes of the violent Great Ape, that towering tree, which was even larger than itself, looked like a rival competing for territory.

The Great Ape snorted two streams of scorching white steam from its nostrils, its blood-red eyes locked onto the Tree of Might.

"Roar!!"

It opened its mouth and gathered energy once more.

This energy sphere was larger than any of the previous ones.

The next instant, it blasted out like a small sun, heading straight for the Tree of Might and slamming solidly into the trunk.

"Boom!"

A hole burst open in the bark, and thick sap flowed out, coating the gap as if healing a wound.

The Great Ape was unsatisfied with this result; it opened its mouth again, and a second and third blast followed in quick succession, hitting the exact same spot with precision.

The trunk finally could not hold up, emitting a sound of snapping as the Tree of Might began to tilt.

It crashed to the ground.

The leaves on the tree withered rapidly, turning into ash.

Specks of light spilled from the roots and branches, drifting in all directions, and the translucent red fruits hanging from the branches also turned into points of light and scattered across the earth.

Where the points of light fell, the grayish-white dead soil began to moisten, and from the parched fissures, tender green sprouts broke through the earth, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the distance, the sky, which had been shrouded in sandstorms for half a month, finally bloomed with long-lost sunlight.

The dying Planet Kabacha was bathed in a surge of immense vitality.

It was slowly recovering.

"We can start now."

Before Daizi could even react, Raditz's figure vanished from where he stood.

The next second, he appeared behind the Great Ape, his right hand condensing a circular energy blade, which he swung toward the ape's tail.

The weakness of a Saiyan's Great Ape Transformation was the tail; as long as it was severed, they would revert to human form.

Just as the energy blade was about to strike, the Great Ape's massive body leaped up violently. Upon landing, those blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the tiny creature before it.

"ROAR!!"

The Great Ape opened its mouth and let out a furious roar.

"Tsk, I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Raditz narrowly dodged the fist the Great Ape slammed down and retreated backward.

"Since that's the case, let's see how high my combat power can rise now."

For a year and a half, Raditz had trained in the Gravity Chamber every day, long ago overcoming 100 times gravity.

He himself did not know to what extent his combat power would soar if he unleashed his full potential now.

"HAA!!!"

An invisible aura exploded from within Raditz, blowing away and swirling the surrounding rubble.

The power that had been pent up for over a year was released without reservation, as if a long-closed valve had been opened.

"Hoo—"

Raditz exhaled a breath of stale air and clenched his fists.

According to his estimation, his current combat power was around five hundred thousand.

It wasn't very high, likely due to the limitations of his physical development.

However, it was more than enough to deal with this Great Ape.

The Great Ape stared at the tiny speck that had suddenly erupted with such astonishing momentum, instinctively sensing a threat. It would not allow such an ant to jump around in front of it.

"ROAR!!!"

The next instant, an energy cannon shot out, heading straight for Raditz.

Raditz did not dodge.

He drew his hands to his waist, palms facing each other, and blue energy converged.

"Kamehame—"

"HA!"

A deep blue beam of light erupted, colliding head-on with the Great Ape's energy cannon.

"BOOM!"

A shockwave exploded from the point where the two forces collided, plowing out a massive circular crater.

Raditz remained motionless, the beam of the Kamehameha growing increasingly intense, pushing the energy cannon back inch by inch.

A flicker of terror flashed in the Great Ape's eyes.

It desperately poured more energy into the blast, its mouth stretched to the limit, but it was to no avail.

The sphere formed by the collision inched closer and closer toward it.

"ROAR!!"

For the first time, there was pain in the Great Ape's roar before it was swallowed by the light.

"BOOM!"

Smoke and dust rose, blotting out the sky and sun.

After a long while, it dissipated.

At the bottom of the deep crater, the Great Ape lay on its back, its body charred black, its chest rising and falling weakly, indicating it was still alive.

Daizi's mouth hung open, staring at everything before him in shock.

This Great Ape already possessed strength beyond his imagination, yet Raditz had resolved the opponent so nonchalantly.

The gap was just too vast!

On the other side, Raditz hovered above the deep crater, lost in thought for a long moment.

He raised his hand, his fingertips twitching slightly, and a beam of light shot toward the Great Ape.

The pupils of the Great Ape lying in the crater suddenly constricted, and a faint whimper escaped its throat.

"Boom!"

The Great Ape's tail was blown off.

His body began to shrink rapidly, and the fur receded.

In the blink of an eye, Turles lay in the crater, covered in wounds, his eyes unfocused and black smoke rising from his entire body.

He struggled to roll his eyes, looking toward Raditz.
