When the Full Moon Rises, the Advantage Is Mine!

Upon the flattened wilderness.

Son Gohan still maintained the stance from when he fired Demon Flash, while the ground around him had shattered apart.

It could not even be called shattered—it had directly collapsed.

Apart from the small patch of ground where Son Gohan stood, the surrounding terrain had visibly sunk, forming an enormous crater.

Yet when he had fired the blast, this place had only been riddled with potholes.

Now it had become like this. Clearly, it was the result of the aftershock from his attack.

Son Gohan looked toward the sky and slowly lowered his hand. He knew Vegeta was not dead. He had deliberately controlled his power earlier, so Demon Flash was enough to seriously injure him, but not kill him.

After all, Vegeta was needed for his later plans.

Moreover, the man was not beyond redemption. In the original story, he had gradually been moved, eventually contributing a kind heart of his own.

He had even protected Earth through multiple crises, ultimately becoming an extremely dependable fighting companion!

But he had twisted off one of Uncle Piccolo's arms just now. Son Gohan could not pretend he had not seen that. Even if he needed Vegeta's strength in the future, this matter would not be let off so easily.

"Gohan..."

Piccolo stared blankly at the ki blast that had flown into the sky for a long while before finally coming back to his senses. He then flew toward Gohan.

Only when he saw that Son Gohan's clothes were not even damaged and his face was still fair and unblemished did he unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

Son Gohan turned to look at Piccolo as well, a smile appearing on his childish face. "Uncle Piccolo..."

Seeing the gentle and sincere smile on Son Gohan's face, Piccolo felt warmth fill his heart. He even felt that he was changing, continuously drifting away from the King Piccolo he had once been.

But with Gohan around, that did not seem like a bad thing.

Piccolo landed lightly beside Gohan, then suddenly looked up at the sky and asked, "That guy..."

"I knocked him into the clouds just now."

Son Gohan looked toward the sky as well. "It was not enough to kill him, but he should be seriously injured. Consider it revenge for Uncle Piccolo."

He said it calmly, yet it sent endless waves surging through Piccolo's heart.

Since the day he was born, he had never felt this valued.

He had been born bearing hatred, then hid across Earth, training hard as he waited for the day he would rule this world.

Yet many times, even he did not know why he did those things.

Was it simply to become the greatest evil, to take revenge on the Guardian of Earth who had casually cast him aside back then?

In any case, there had been nothing worth caring about before, so he had committed evil as he pleased. But now, he felt different. At the very least, someone treated him like a person!

"Gohan..."

Piccolo's body trembled slightly, but he had never been good at expressing his emotions, and he could not speak for a long time.

It was also at this moment.

Krillin, Raditz, and the others arrived one after another from behind.

Tien Shinhan came afterward, rubbing his eyes. There were still scorched marks around his left eye. That was because at some point earlier, the scouter had detected a power level beyond its limit and exploded on the spot.

His real power level was off the charts!

When Raditz saw that only Son Gohan remained in the field.

He unconsciously tossed Nappa onto the ground and stared wide-eyed into the distance. "How is that possible? Prince Vegeta... lost?"

"No... impossible. Other than King Frieza, Prince Vegeta should have been invincible in this world. How could he lose to..."

Perhaps because the shock in his heart was too great, Raditz involuntarily took several steps back.

But then his body jolted, as if he had thought of something.

"Wait, Gohan is my nephew. He defeated Prince Vegeta, doesn't that mean my nephew is the strongest Saiyan?"

Thinking of this, Raditz immediately became smug.

Although there had been some misunderstandings between him, his younger brother, and his nephew before.

He had even gone to the afterlife together with his biological brother, but now they had all been revived, so it was not something that could not be resolved.

At worst, he could properly follow his younger brother and live here in the future...

"Gohan, you really defeated that guy!"

"That's amazing! You saved Earth too!"

While Raditz's thoughts ran wild, Krillin, Yamcha, and the others had already gathered around Gohan, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.

"No, the battle isn't over yet!"

Son Gohan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed deep within the clouds.

The sky was gradually darkening.

The moon had slowly emerged, releasing Blutz Waves. Those special waves could stimulate the wild nature of Saiyans, transforming them into Great Apes and allowing them to wield even greater power.

According to the original course of events, the moon restored by the Guardian of Earth should have been destroyed by Uncle Piccolo.

But this time, he had consciously avoided looking at the moon, so he had not transformed into a Great Ape, allowing the moon to remain.

But at this point, that would become Vegeta's final gamble.

"What... did you say?"

When Krillin and the others heard Son Gohan speak, their eyes were filled with obvious bewilderment. Clearly, none of them had expected the battle to be over.

When they saw Son Gohan looking up at the sky, they all tried to look as well.

Within the clouds.

Vegeta, his armor shattered, floated there in a miserable state.

At that moment, he was clutching his right shoulder with his left hand. His body was covered in wounds, and his face was twisted with ferocity.

Vegeta panted heavily, taking a long time to recover.

"Damn it, that brat was actually this strong!"

Thinking of how he had just felt the threat of death, Vegeta was struck by a wave of lingering fear. But after that fear came even greater fury. "He completely surpassed me. He actually completely surpassed me, the Saiyan Prince. This is..."

He should have been furious, yet beneath that anger, another strange emotion arose.

Because he realized that this might be the Saiyan capable of creating a legend.

That child was only four or five years old, yet he could already unleash combat power beyond Vegeta's own. Once he reached the age when Saiyan strength truly began to surge, perhaps he really could become that legend!

Then he could defeat Frieza, the one who ruled over the Saiyans!

"Huff... huff..."

He panted twice more, and his body seemed to settle down. Then he suddenly shook his head hard. "No. If there really is a Saiyan who can defeat Frieza, then it must be me!"

As he spoke.

He raised his head toward the higher sky.

The sun was gradually disappearing, while the moon was steadily growing brighter.

"Haha, choosing this day was not in vain!"

As he watched the moon gradually brighten, excitement filled Vegeta's eyes. "Haha, as long as the Blutz Waves reach that frequency, I can turn this around and claim the final victory of this battle!"

He stared fixedly at the brightening moon.

But because night had not fully fallen yet, his body had not changed.

Now, he was waiting for the moment when he transformed into a Great Ape!

As long as he could achieve that transformation, he could turn the battle around and win completely. Then, with the Dragon Balls, he could obtain immortality. Sooner or later, the throne of ruler of the universe would belong to Vegeta!

As for that brat having a tail as well.

Though Vegeta was wary of that, he was not overly afraid.

The other party was merely the son of a low-class warrior, and he had not been trained. Even if he transformed into a Great Ape, he would never be able to retain his reason.

Vegeta only needed to find an opportunity to cut off his tail!

Then, if Nappa, Raditz, and Vegeta all transformed into Great Apes at the same time, no matter how powerful that brat was, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

Thump! Thump!

The sky rapidly darkened.

And within the clouds, the sound of a heartbeat grew louder and louder.

Vegeta felt the blood throughout his body swell, while extreme savagery began to spread. Even the surrounding clouds gradually seemed smaller in his eyes.

Only then did a smile appear on his face.

"Looks like I finally made it to that moment. Haha, the advantage is mine now!"
