Dark Son Goku threw a punch. Gamos had no time to block and took it square in the face. When he saw his opponent coming in with another punch, he immediately raised his arm to guard, but the next blow landed straight in his stomach.
After taking several more punches in a row, Gamos finally adapted to his opponent's speed. As another punch came at him, Gamos raised his left arm. With a thud, the fist struck his forearm, and he blocked the attack.
"This guy's already adapting to my rhythm. What a terrifying ability to learn."
Dark Son Goku thought to himself.
"Ha!"
They both shouted and their fists collided, neither gaining the upper hand.
The two traded blows, blocking each other's attacks and launching counterattacks of their own. Their figures darted back and forth across the sky, colliding again and again.
"Hey, Zamasu, how much do you know about Saiyans?"
Faced with his opponent's mocking smile, Dark Son Goku sneered.
"As my sworn enemy, I know them inside and out. Their limitless potential, for example."
As he spoke, Dark Son Goku clenched his fists at his waist. The dark aura around him surged, and his power rose once again.
"You see? Under a god's control, this power can be truly unleashed."
Dark Son Goku shaped his hands like a lotus flower and brought them to his right side.
"Kamehameha!"
A golden beam wrapped in black energy gathered in his hands. Its power exceeded what he could normally unleash. It had to be said: every special move had something to it.
It might have looked like a simple change in the shape of an energy wave, but it contained all kinds of techniques for generating force and manipulating ki. Those techniques allowed its destructive power to reach its maximum.
Gamos's eyes widened. He watched his opponent's movements without blinking, but only reacted when the energy in Dark Son Goku's hands blasted toward him.
The attack was already right in front of him, leaving no room to dodge. He could only raise both hands to defend himself.
But Gamos had still underestimated his opponent's attack. His small body was blasted straight into the ground by the enormous energy wave.
With a thunderous boom, the blast left a crater a thousand meters wide. Thick clouds of dust billowed everywhere. Dark Son Goku looked at his satisfying handiwork and smiled.
"Foolish humans. So arrogant!"
Still basking in the triumph of his attack, Dark Son Goku had no idea that a cloud of smoke didn't mean the target was unharmed.
Before the dust had even settled, a white sphere of light about the size of a basketball shot into the sky. Dark Son Goku instinctively looked up and saw a glowing orb.
Then a roar shook the heavens. It scattered all the smoke, revealing a giant Great Ape in the crater.
The Great Ape pounded its chest, its powerful frame radiating a terrifying pressure.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Great Ape's black fur and bulging muscles proclaimed its strength.
There was no doubt: this Great Ape was Gamos in his transformed state.
When he'd asked how much his opponent knew about Saiyans, Gamos had already made up his mind. Dark Son Goku—Zamasu from the future—obviously had no idea that Saiyans with tails could transform into Great Apes.
In the future, the Saiyans who were the main characters—whether Sun Wukong or Vegeta—had both removed their tails. They'd grown stronger through constant training, and had never shown their Great Ape forms. Naturally, Zamasu had no idea this was possible.
The orb from earlier was an artificial moon Gamos had created to transform into a Great Ape. His body was simply too frail, but things were different in Great Ape form.
In that state, his battle power increased tenfold. It also eliminated the drawback of Gamos's young age and small body.
With the limitations of his physical form gone, and his Legendary Super Constitution allowing him to unleash ki without limit, his power had increased by far more than ten times. It could even have risen twenty or thirty times over.
The Great Ape looked at Dark Son Goku, flying in the sky. A trace of confusion seemed to show in its blood-red eyes.
The confusion vanished the next moment, as if it had remembered something. Then came unbridled rage. "Roar! Roar! Roar!"
With a series of furious roars, the Great Ape opened its mouth and spat out a terrifying energy beam.
At the sight, Dark Son Goku hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding the blast.
But the Great Ape showed no sign of stopping. It continued firing energy, swinging its head so that the terrifying beam swept back and forth like a laser, as if it wouldn't stop until it hit its target.
"Damn it! What's going on? Judging by its ki, this damn giant ape must be that little Saiyan brat from before. But how did he turn into such a huge monster?"
Dark Son Goku dodged back and forth, forced into a pitiful retreat. His opponent's attacks were so fast that every dodge was perilously close.
"Roar!"
Another furious roar rang out. The energy beam grew even more violent, and Dark Son Goku was caught off guard and swept away by it.
Engulfed by the attack, Dark Son Goku felt pain unlike anything he'd ever experienced. Then the blast hurled him away.
Seeing that his opponent had been dealt with, the Great Ape threw back its head and roared. It pounded its chest with both fists, as if proclaiming victory.
After rampaging for a while, Gamos's eyes seemed to regain their clarity, and he soon calmed down.
"Great Ape form really is hard to control!"
As his mind gradually cleared, Gamos began to appreciate the immense power of his new body.
"If even Saiyans called Elite Warriors can control their Great Ape forms, how could I, the Legendary Super Saiyan, possibly lose my mind?"
Gamos kept encouraging himself as he tried to control the body.
He released his immense mental power. After nearly a minute of getting used to it, Gamos finally gained perfect control over his new body.
"This feeling of being so full of power is incredible."
Gamos excitedly swung his fists and laughed up at the sky.
Far away, Piccolo sensed the commotion and stared toward the distance in alarm.
"What kind of power is that? Is it a Super Saiyan? But this power is far beyond old Sun's."
Even Son Gohan's eyes showed fear. Could a human really possess such a terrifying, heart-pounding power?
Behind them, Dende had crept over at some point. He held out both hands and healed the critically injured Sun Wukong.
"Piccolo, Gohan, we have to get out of here right away. The difference in strength is too great."
After speaking, Sun Wukong looked up at the sky.
"King Kai, please tell Earth's Kami to gather the Dragon Balls and move us, along with all the Namekians, to Earth."
On King Kai's Planet, a short, black-skinned, heavyset man watched the battlefield with a grave expression.
The two feelers on his head twitched constantly. When he heard Sun Wukong's request, he nodded solemnly.
"All right, I'll pass it along right away. You must stay hidden in the meantime. The battle over there is probably already finished. Whether it's that fake wearing black or the Saiyan who transformed into a Great Ape, both are extremely dangerous."
"Don't worry, King Kai. I know how much stronger they are than me. I won't throw my life away by challenging them."
"But it's a real shame. Our opponent is so powerful, and I can't even fight him. After this, I'll train hard and do my best to reach that level as soon as possible."
There weren't many Namekians left alive on Namek, and the Grand Elder wasn't among them.
The Grand Elder had already passed away. The shockwaves from the battle had cut his life short, which meant the Dragon Balls on Namek had turned to stone.
On Earth, Mr. Popo, with his black skin, had already gathered the Dragon Balls. He was ready to summon Shenron and make a wish at any time.
After speaking with King Kai, he immediately summoned Shenron.
"Come forth, Shenron! Please grant my wish!"
At his words, the seven Dragon Balls on the ground began to shine. They connected and merged into a ball of light. Then a long green dragon emerged, spiraling through the sky before lowering its enormous head.
"Speak your wish. No matter what it is, I can grant you one."
Kami immediately stated his wish.
"Please move everyone on Namek to Earth, except for the Saiyan who transformed into a Great Ape and the fake Saiyan radiating an evil aura! Oh, and include the bodies, too."
Remembering that the dead would need their bodies if they were to be revived, Kami quickly added that condition. Even Frieza's men were aliens, so they could simply be disposed of afterward.
After receiving the wish, Shenron followed the usual procedure and said, "It will be done in a flash." His red eyes glowed as he began releasing his power to fulfill the wish.
Kami looked around the cramped lookout and quickly specified where to send them. He chose Bulma's house. As the richest person in the world, she was the only one whose home could accommodate so many aliens.
Meanwhile, Gamos regained his senses and went straight to Dark Son Goku, who was recovering from his injuries.
"If you win and don't finish your opponent off, you're bound to get killed in a counterattack. I'm no fool."
Gamos's transformed Great Ape face wore a strange smile.
The next moment, Gamos spread his hands and formed dozens of Destructo Discs, intending to slice his opponent into pieces.
As a Saiyan who also knew the entire Dragon Ball story, he understood one thing perfectly:
As long as his opponent remained in one piece, he could regain his fighting spirit and grow stronger, turning the tables on him.
That was how things always went in Dragon Ball. As someone who'd crossed into this world, Gamos was naturally going to avoid that trap. He'd cut his opponent into several pieces. No matter how strong his will was, could he regenerate out of thin air?
Seeing the countless Destructo Discs surrounding him, Dark Son Goku's face darkened. This guy was ridiculously cautious. First, he'd used a Dragon Fist to finish him off, and now he was using Destructo Discs. He wasn't giving him the slightest chance to move!
Everyone else used fists and energy blasts, but this guy had gone straight for the kill. Never mind fighting dirty—he was downright underhanded.
"Damn human, you can't kill me."
The next moment, Dark Son Goku pressed two fingers to his forehead, and his figure vanished in an instant.
With a whoosh, the Destructo Discs lost their target. The attack, which had covered every angle, still missed. Several discs collided, setting off a series of explosions.
"Oh, no!"
Seeing this, Gamos's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. How could he have forgotten? His opponent was using Sun Wukong's body, so naturally he had this practically broken technique, too.
