Great Ape Fights Dark Son Goku

Dark Son Goku threw a punch. Gamos was too slow to parry and took the blow directly to the face. Seeing the opponent wind up for another, he immediately raised his hands to block, but he hadn't expected the next strike to land squarely in his gut.

After eating several more punches in succession, Gamos finally adapted to the opponent's attack speed. Seeing another punch coming, Gamos raised his left arm and—bang—the opponent's fist slammed into his arm, successfully blocking the attack.

This guy has actually started to adapt to my attack rhythm. What a terrifying talent for learning.

Dark Son Goku thought to himself.

"Ha!"

Both men let out a shout, their fists colliding with such force that they fought to a standstill.

Immediately after, the two traded blows, parrying each other's attacks while constantly launching their own. Their figures darted back and forth in the sky, colliding repeatedly.

"Hey, Zamasu, how much do you know about Saiyans?"

Facing the opponent's mocking smile, Dark Son Goku sneered.

"As my mortal enemy, I naturally understand them quite thoroughly—for instance, this supreme potential."

With that, Dark Son Goku clenched his fists at his waist, and the black aura around his body surged, his power climbing once again.

"See? Only under the guidance of a god can this power truly be liberated."

Dark Son Goku placed his hands in a lotus shape, then pulled them to his right side.

"Kamehameha!"

Gold wrapped in black, the energy wave condensed. This level of attack power had already surpassed what he could normally unleash; one had to admit, every ultimate technique existed for a reason.

It looked like a simple change in the shape of a standard energy wave, but it contained various techniques for exerting force and manipulating ki, allowing the attack power to be maximized perfectly.

Gamos widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the opponent's movements without blinking. It was only when the energy was blasted from the opponent's hands that Gamos finally reacted.

But the attack was already upon him, unavoidable, leaving him no choice but to raise his hands in defense.

However, Gamos had underestimated the opponent's attack. His small body was blasted directly into the earth by the massive energy wave.

With a thunderous explosion, a crater a kilometer wide was blown into the ground, and thick dust billowed into the air. Dark Son Goku looked at his satisfying masterpiece with a smile on his lips.

"Stupid human, how arrogant!"

Still feeling smug about his attack, Dark Son Goku didn't realize the law of "no damage if there's smoke."

Before the dust could settle, a basketball-sized ball of white light flew high into the sky. Dark Son Goku looked up instinctively, surprised to see a glowing orb.

Immediately after, a roar shook the heavens. The sound wave blasted away all the smoke, revealing a massive Great Ape standing in the deep crater.

The Great Ape pounded its chest, its sturdy frame radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

At this moment, the Great Ape was covered in black fur, its bulging muscles declaring its immense strength.

Without a doubt, this Great Ape was Gamos's transformation.

Gamos had already made this decision the moment he asked how much the opponent knew about Saiyans. There was no doubt that Dark Son Goku—the future Zamasu—simply did not know that Saiyans with tails could transform into Great Apes.

In the future, the Saiyan protagonists, whether Son Goku or Vegeta, had all removed their tails and relied on constant training to grow stronger. Consequently, they had never displayed the Great Ape form, and Zamasu naturally knew nothing of it.

The ball of light from earlier was an artificial moon created by Gamos, intended specifically for this transformation. His physical body was far too weak, but as a Great Ape, it was a different story.

In the Great Ape state, combat power would increase tenfold. Not only that, but it would also eliminate the disadvantage of Gamos's small, youthful stature.

With his Legendary Super Constitution, free from the limitations of his physical body and combined with infinite ki-bursting, his strength would increase by far more than ten times—perhaps even twenty or thirty.

Seeing Dark Son Goku flying in the air, the Great Ape's scarlet eyes seemed to flicker with confusion.

The next moment, the confusion vanished as if he had remembered something, followed by endless rage. "Roar, roar, roar!"

With a series of roars, the Great Ape opened its maw, and a terrifying energy beam erupted from its mouth.

Seeing this horrific sight, Dark Son Goku scrambled to dodge, narrowly avoiding the strike.

But the Great Ape had no intention of stopping. It continued to pour out energy, swinging its head so that the terrifying beam swept back and forth like a laser, as if it wouldn't rest until it hit its target.

"Damn it, what is going on? Based on the ki, this damn giant ape should be that bratty Saiyan from before, but how could he turn into such a monster?"

Dark Son Goku dodged back and forth, forced into a miserable state. The opponent's attacks were swift, and every evasion was a narrow escape.

"Roar!"

Another angry roar rang out, and the terrifying energy beam grew even more violent. Dark Son Goku, caught off guard, was swept away by the beam.

Submerged in the opponent's attack, Dark Son Goku felt unprecedented pain before being blasted away.

Seeing the person before him dealt with, the Great Ape let out a sky-shaking howl, pounding its chest repeatedly as if declaring its victory.

After acting wildly for a while, Gamos's eyes seemed to regain clarity, and he quickly calmed down.

"As expected of the Great Ape form, it's truly hard to control!"

Having regained his senses, Gamos began to carefully experience the even greater power surging through his body.

"Saiyans known as elite warriors can all master the Great Ape form. As the Legendary Super Saiyan, how could I possibly lose my mind?"

Gamos kept encouraging himself, attempting to master this body.

He radiated his vast mental energy, and after nearly a minute of familiarization, Gamos finally gained perfect control over his new form.

"This feeling of power is simply magnificent."

Gamos swung his fists excitedly, letting out a roar of laughter toward the sky.

In the distance, Piccolo sensed the commotion and stared toward the horizon in terror.

"What kind of power is this? Is it a Super Saiyan? But this energy far exceeds that of Son Goku."

Even Son Gohan, standing nearby, had eyes filled with dread. Could such a heart-stopping power truly be something a mortal could possess?

Behind them, Dende, who had snuck over at some point, was extending his hands to heal the dying Son Goku.

"Piccolo, Gohan, we must flee immediately. The gap in strength is too vast."

After saying this, Son Goku looked up at the sky.

"King Kai, please relay a message to Kami on Earth. Tell him to gather the Dragon Balls and teleport us, along with all the Namekians, to Earth."

On King Kai's Planet, a short, stout, black-skinned man was watching the battlefield with a grave expression.

His two antennae twitched constantly. Upon hearing Son Goku's request, he nodded solemnly.

"Understood, I will relay the message immediately. You must keep yourselves hidden during this time. It seems the battle over there has concluded; both that imposter in the black clothes and the Saiyan who transformed into a Great Ape are extremely dangerous."

"Don't worry, King Kai. I know the difference in strength between us and them, so I certainly won't throw my life away."

"Still, it is a pity. To face such powerful opponents and lack the ability to fight back... after this, I must train diligently to reach this realm as soon as possible."

Back on Namek, few Namekians remained alive, and the Grand Elder was not among them.

The Grand Elder had already passed away, his life cut short by the shockwaves of the battle, which meant the Dragon Balls on Namek had turned into stone.

On Earth, Mr. Popo, with his jet-black skin, had already gathered the Dragon Balls and was ready to summon Shenron at any moment.

After speaking with King Kai, he immediately summoned the dragon.

"Come forth, Shenron, and grant my wish!"

As the words fell, the seven Dragon Balls on the ground flashed brilliantly, merging into a single sphere of light. A long, green dragon emerged, circling in the air before lowering its massive head.

"State your wish. I can grant you any one wish."

Kami immediately stated his request.

"Please teleport everyone currently on Namek to Earth, excluding the Saiyan who transformed into a Great Ape and the imposter emitting an evil aura! Oh, and include the corpses as well."

Thinking that resurrection would require the bodies, Kami added the condition. Even if they were Frieza's subordinates, they were still extraterrestrials; he could simply dispose of them later.

Upon receiving the wish, Shenron uttered the words "That is child's play" before his red eyes flashed, releasing his power to fulfill the request.

Kami looked at the cramped Lookout and immediately set the destination to Bulma's house. As the richest person in the world, only her home could accommodate so many aliens.

Meanwhile, having regained his composure, Gamos tracked down the recovering Dark Son Goku.

"Failing to finish off an opponent after winning is a recipe for being killed in a counterattack. I'm no fool."

A sinister grin spread across the face of Gamos in his Great Ape form.

The next moment, Gamos spread his hands and condensed dozens of Destructo Discs, intending to slice his opponent into pieces.

As a Saiyan who knew the entire plot of Dragon Ball, he understood one thing clearly.

As long as the opponent remained intact, they could regain their fighting spirit, increase their power, and pull off a comeback.

That was the standard trope of Dragon Ball. As a transmigrator, he would naturally avoid that pitfall by slicing his enemy into pieces. No matter how strong their willpower was, they couldn't regenerate from nothing, could they?

Seeing the countless Destructo Discs surrounding him, Dark Son Goku's face turned dark. You really are cautious, aren't you? First a Dragon Fist to kill me instantly, and now Destructo Discs? You aren't giving me any room to breathe!

Others relied on punches and energy blasts, but this guy went for the kill immediately. Not only was he dishonorable, but he was also a petty coward.

"Damn human, you cannot kill me!"

The next moment, Dark Son Goku placed two fingers to his forehead, and his entire figure vanished instantly.

With a whoosh, the Destructo Discs lost their target. The omnidirectional attack missed completely, and several discs collided, triggering a series of explosions.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this, Gamos's eyes nearly popped out of his head. How could he have forgotten that the opponent was using Son Goku's body and naturally possessed that cheat-like technique?
