Since Vegeta wanted to see the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, I might as well show him.
This wasn't Tarble trying to show off.
"Alright, Big Brother, you all should step back a bit. The pressure in a moment will be terrifying."
Faced with this warning, Vegeta replied with full confidence: "Don't worry, it's just a bit of pressure; I can definitely withstand it!"
"Hurry up and transform!"
Fine then!
If you can't stand your ground in a moment, it won't be me who's embarrassed!
Tarble muttered to himself, nodded, and let out a low shout.
"Haa--"
As Tarble let out a series of low shouts, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
This aura, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, roared out in all directions like a surging tide.
Hum, hum, hum!
For a moment, the entire world began to tremble.
Vegeta, who had just sworn he could withstand the pressure, was now being forcibly pushed back a meter or two by the sheer force of the unrivaled aura storm erupting from Tarble.
Two long furrows were left in the ground by his feet.
And this was only the result after he had transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.
If he hadn't, he surely would have been pushed back much further.
Even though the aura storm was exceptionally violent, he still strained to keep his eyes open, staring at Tarble, whose energy was still climbing.
His eyes were filled with shock.
What terrifying pressure!
To think that just by relying on his aura, he could push me back this far!
Tarble... he has truly surpassed me!
But, why is there this sudden palpitation in my heart...
No, why do I feel this sense of unease...
Before he could figure out why, he saw Tarble let out one final shout--
"Aaaah--ha!"
BOOM!
As the shout rang out, the aura reached its peak, and a bright light suddenly erupted from Tarble's body.
The even more violent wind of energy and light made it difficult for Vegeta to keep his eyes open.
When he felt the pressure subside and his vision cleared, he hurriedly focused his gaze.
He saw that Tarble's appearance had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.
Covered in vibrant red fur with long black hair draped over his shoulders, his frame—which had originally been shorter than Vegeta's—was now taller and more imposing, his exposed, muscular chest looking incredibly powerful.
Added to that were those eyes, framed by red outlines with green pupils.
The entire person looked wild and domineering.
This... is this... Super Saiyan 4?!!!
For a moment, he widened his eyes, looking Tarble up and down as he stood there, having successfully transformed.
At the same time.
The other warriors on Earth, upon sensing this incomparable aura, were no less shocked than Vegeta.
At Son Gohan's home.
Son Gohan, who had been focused on his academic research in his study, suddenly looked up, staring toward West City in utter shock.
"Such a powerful aura!"
"Who could it be?!"
"Wait, why does it feel a bit like Uncle Tarble's!"
"Huh, Uncle Vegeta's aura has also surged significantly!"
"Could it be that some accident has occurred?"
"No, I have to go and see!"
At this moment, Son Gohan's expression was grave.
Because he was reminded of that artificial monster he had faced in his youth—Cell!
That opponent possessed the aura characteristics of all the warriors, and he was terrified that the events of the past might repeat themselves.
Without another thought, he quickly stood up, opened the door, and stepped out.
Such an important matter must be told to Videl.
Of course.
Krillin and Master Roshi at Kame House, Piccolo training in solitude, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu training deep in the mountains, Yamcha the slacker currently out trying to pick up girls, and even Trunks and Son Goten at play—all of them sensed Tarble's massive aura.
Like Son Gohan, they felt the aura was somewhat familiar, yet overall, it still felt quite foreign to them.
The aura radiated by a Super Saiyan 4 is one that unleashes the primal, wild power inherent to the Saiyan race.
Because the aura had suddenly become so much wilder, they naturally couldn't be certain if it truly belonged to Tarble.
Though he didn't jump to any other conclusions, he still thought about heading over to investigate and get to the bottom of it.
On North Kai Planet.
Son Goku and North Kai, who had long since sensed this unusually powerful aura, both wore extremely grave expressions.
It was for no other reason than the fact that this aura was simply too vast—so vast that it didn't seem like something a normal person could possess.
"Lord Kai, please take a look! Whose aura is this? It's so powerful, it feels like it's right in front of us!"
"It seems to be coming from the direction of Earth. Could it be that another enemy has invaded?"
"Damn it!"
"How could someone this powerful exist in this world!"
Hearing this, the eyes beneath North Kai's sunglasses flickered, and he replied calmly, "Stop rushing me, I'm looking."
"If you keep making noise, I won't be able to concentrate."
There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
In truth, he wanted to say that there were people even stronger than this, but Goku just hadn't had the chance to see them.
But as soon as that thought crossed his mind, he felt a sudden shiver of fear and shook his head secretly.
No!
I hope we never encounter them!
It's best if we never run into them in the future!
After muttering these words to himself, he calmed his mind and spirit, utilizing his authority as a Kai to begin tracing the source of this massive aura.
The moment he identified the source, his blue face was struck with utter astonishment.
"Th-this is!!!"
Supreme Kai World.
The moment Tarble transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, that vast aura crossed dimensions in an instant, reaching the Supreme Kai World.
Old Kai, East Kai, and Kibito all sensed this overwhelming aura at the same time, and all of them wore expressions of shock.
"Such a powerful ki!"
"To think it could reach all the way here!"
"But why does this aura feel so unfamiliar?"
"Could a new enemy have appeared?" East Kai asked, his expression grave as he searched for the source of the aura.
This aura felt even more powerful than what Majin Buu and Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku had projected four years ago.
The reason his face looked so grim was that he feared a new crisis might have emerged in the universe.
However, his words drew a rebuke from Old Kai: "Fool!"
"Sense it carefully yourself—do you feel even a shred of evil in this aura?"
While scolding him, he also successfully caught sight of Tarble's unique appearance on Earth and felt the terrifying energy contained within his body.
With just one look, he knew that this strangely styled individual possessed strength far exceeding that of Majin Buu and Son Goku from four years ago.
As Supreme Kais, they possessed unimaginable clairvoyant abilities.
It could be said that as long as it was within the universe under their jurisdiction, they could see the surface of any location.
At this moment, a flicker of gravity passed through his slightly narrowed eyes.
As long as that bastard doesn't show himself, then with this level of strength, one could walk sideways across this universe.
