Aishi smiled as he looked toward Vegeta. He could tell exactly what Vegeta was thinking.
Thinking I gave you a "weaker" Super Saiyan 4 route while I went and trained in stronger God Ki, huh?
Aishi said, "Don't go thinking your Super Saiyan 4 path is weak. Saiyans have many possibilities—just take your time and walk your path."
Vegeta nodded. He could agree with that.
The future of Saiyans was limitless.
And he, Vegeta, would carry that to the end.
With that in mind—
Vegeta grinned. "In that case, I'll walk both paths!"
Aishi chuckled, "Sure, sure."
Both routes?
Super Saiyan 4 and God Ki…?
Now that was interesting.
Just then—
A thunderous boom echoed, and a figure was smashed into the ocean, sending waves surging sky-high!
Everyone turned toward the sound.
——BOOM!
The figure that had been flung into the sea… was Majin Buu!
Up ahead, not far off—
Beerus floated midair, surrounded by a dark, swirling purple aura that glowed with a strange and ominous light.
The pressure was overwhelming…!
Beerus' face was cold. "If I can't eat anything, then no one else will…"
Aishi's expression remained calm.
Looks like no matter how big the butterfly effect, the story's gravity always corrects it in the end.
Majin Buu still ended up clashing with Beerus.
But this time—there was no Mr. Satan around to calm Buu down.
This time, it would all come down to Aishi's strength to keep him in check.
If Buu didn't behave… he'd just wipe him out.
Nearby—
The faces of Vegeta and the others changed drastically.
Vegeta scoffed. "I knew those guys were useless!"
Piccolo's expression was grim. "We need to stop him!"
Ahead—
That terrifying purple aura continued to swirl around Beerus like a vortex.
Yamcha looked confused. He'd only looked away for a second—
And they were already fighting!?
He rushed forward without thinking. "What the hell!? You dare attack the great Yamcha!?"
Beerus glanced at him dispassionately, raised one hand, and gently tapped Yamcha's neck with a finger.
POW!
Yamcha's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that, Piccolo and the others immediately charged in.
No matter what—Yamcha was their friend!
They couldn't just sit and watch!
——WHOOSH WHOOSH!
Multiple figures shot forward in the blink of an eye.
Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and the others—
Beerus didn't flinch. Calmly, he lifted his hand and with a few effortless gestures…
They were all taken out in an instant.
Just moments later, the deck was littered with bodies.
All… asleep.
"Uncle Piccolo…"
Gohan's expression turned cold. Seeing Piccolo knocked out, he couldn't stay calm any longer.
"HAAA!!!"
He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and let out a deep roar.
——WHOOSH WHOOSH!
Golden ripples rose from beneath his feet, spreading like waves.
The next instant—
A blazing golden aura exploded skyward, engulfing him completely.
A brilliant light burst forth, radiating in all directions.
An overwhelming surge of energy spread out across the area!
As the golden light faded—
Gohan had transformed.
That was…
Super Saiyan 4!
His black hair had grown long, reaching down to his waist, and his body was covered in a layer of red fur.
A crimson tail swayed behind him.
His build was tall and powerful—every movement exuded pure, explosive strength.
Dominant. Overwhelming.
Those were the only words to describe him now.
Beerus' eyes locked onto Gohan, his expression shifting slightly.
"Another one of those… Super Saiyan 4 forms?"
"I just saw that other Saiyan—Goku—use it. Didn't expect to see it again so soon."
He eyed Gohan with mild interest. "You feel stronger than he did. I hope you can entertain me…"
Gohan growled. "Enough talk. Take this!"
He slammed a foot into the deck.
——BOOM!
The wooden boards cracked and shattered beneath him.
His body launched forward like a bullet, engulfed in a blazing golden aura.
Beerus remained still, watching Gohan approach.
——BANG!
In the blink of an eye, Gohan appeared before Beerus and threw a straight punch.
The strike carried the overwhelming force of Super Saiyan 4—wild, ferocious, unyielding.
But—
Beerus casually raised his left hand and blocked it with ease.
He said calmly, "Your spirit's not bad… shame your power is."
——BOOM!!!
He immediately countered with a punch of his own.
BOOM!
A heavy thud rang out like thunder.
"GHH—!"
Gohan's pupils shrank. He barely had time to react before the punch landed squarely in his gut.
It nearly caved his abdomen in.
Beerus retracted his fist and, with a slight tilt, lifted his right leg—
——BANG!
A brutal kick slammed down on Gohan's head.
His eyes widened. So fast!!
Why… why can't I keep up!?
Before he could react, he was sent flying through the air—
And crashed straight into the ocean.
——BOOM!
Another explosion of water erupted.
Beerus calmly lowered his leg. "You're strong… but not the one I'm looking for today."
Under normal circumstances, maybe he would've played around with Gohan.
Had a little fun.
It's rare to find a decent opponent, after all.
But right now—
There were two people here he found very interesting.
So…
Gohan was just the appetizer.
There were stronger ones waiting.
If he got knocked out, it just meant he wasn't worthy of the main course.
On the other side—
Vegeta's expression twisted. His face had gone pale.
He'd just seen Gohan go Super Saiyan 4…
And it had already blown his expectations away.
But then—
Gohan got one-shot by Beerus!?
That shattered everything he thought he knew.
Vegeta's fists clenched, his teeth gritted tight.
Was it his turn?
Just then, Beerus turned toward them.
His gaze calm. "Anyone else?"
Everyone: "..."
So arrogant!
Damn it…
Vegeta's pride boiled. There was no way the Prince of all Saiyans could retreat now!
His pride wouldn't let him!
He stepped forward.
Let's do this!
