"Five people…"
Goku began counting on his fingers.
"Me, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, Goten…" He counted again and frowned.
"That's not right. We only have five Saiyans here. How are we supposed to inject the power of five people into another person? Should we exclude one?"
Krillin whispered from the side, "Goku, don't forget—Mr. Loren is also a Saiyan!"
"That's right!" Goku slapped his thigh.
"Loren, Vegeta, me, Gohan, Trunks, Goten! That makes six! That's perfect!"
He excitedly looked at Loren and Vegeta.
"Great! Hurry up and give me your power! Let me have a go at this God of Destruction!"
Vegeta's expression turned extremely grim.
Give his power to Kakarot?
But…
Vegeta glanced at Beerus, who stood with his hands behind his back, impatience written all over his face.
Forget it.
If Beerus got annoyed and destroyed Earth, everything would be over anyway.
Just as Vegeta was about to grit his teeth and agree—
A system prompt rang out in Loren's mind.
[Ding! Detected critical plot point: Super Saiyan God's arrival! God-level choice triggered. Please make your decision, Host!]
Two completely different light screens appeared before Loren's eyes.
[Choice One: Follow destiny. Allow Goku to receive the power of five Saiyans and transform into a Super Saiyan God to battle Beerus.]
[Mission Reward: None]
[Choice Two: Reverse the future. Host personally intervenes and designates Gohan as the Super Saiyan God.]
[Mission Reward: Host's normal-state combat power increases to 5 billion!]
Gohan was indeed a good choice.
Although he had slacked off somewhat after marriage, his strength was still solid—nothing like the weak version from the original timeline who became a joke.
As his disciple, supporting him was only natural.
"I object." Loren's voice rang out clearly.
Goku froze, "Huh?" Loren… what did you just say?"
Vegeta was also stunned—then a trace of wild joy flashed through his eyes.
Could it be… Is he going to recommend me? Yes! It must be!
That idiot Kakarot doesn't understand the nobility of a God at all!
Only I, the Prince of Saiyans, am worthy of becoming a God!
"I said," Loren repeated calmly, "I object to Goku becoming the Super Saiyan God."
He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Goku, you love fighting too much. The power of a God, in your hands, would not be for protection. It would only be for endless challenges."
Goku scratched his head awkwardly, "…Yeah. That does sound like me."
"Then… then who should it be?" Vegeta puffed out his chest, chin raised high, stealing glances at Loren as if awaiting his coronation.
Loren ignored Vegeta's peacock-like behavior.
"Let Gohan do it. He is the most suitable candidate."
"I—I can't do it either, Master!" Gohan waved his hands frantically.
"Going up against a God of Destruction who knocked out my dad's strongest form with one finger?!"
"I really don't have that kind of confidence!"
"Gohan," Loren's voice was calm and steady.
"You don't like fighting—but that doesn't mean you can't fight. Your potential far exceeds your father's. You know that better than anyone. You're only missing one thing. A reason you must fight."
Loren gently pinched Pan's cheek and looked straight at Gohan.
"For Pan. For Videl. For the peaceful life you've always wanted. This battle… You must fight it."
Gohan's body trembled.
He looked down at his daughter's innocent face in his arms.
He didn't care about Saiyan pride.
He didn't care about being the strongest.
But his family… everything he had now—
He had to protect it.
Gohan's eyes slowly hardened with resolve.
"I… I understand, Master. I'm willing…
…to try."
Beerus licked his lips.
"Interesting. This Lord will play along with you. Hurry up. My patience is limited."
"Alright." Loren nodded.
He turned to Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten.
"You four, come here."
"And me?" Goku asked.
Loren pointed to himself, "With me, that makes five."
Vegeta's face darkened, but he still walked over.
Goku, however, didn't mind at all. He patted Gohan's shoulder and laughed.
"Gohan! Go for it! Let Dad see how strong you are as a God!"
Trunks and Goten eagerly rushed over as well.
Five Saiyans surrounded Gohan at the center.
"Hold hands. Clear your minds. Imagine pouring all your power into Gohan."
Loren guided the ritual.
Everyone followed his instructions.
Hum—
Golden ki erupted from Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten.
On Loren's body, a faint, almost imperceptible white light emerged.
Warm, vast power surged into Gohan's body.
It felt like soaking in a hot spring—every cell cheering in joy.
Power sublimated.
Gohan's body began to change.
His previously muscular build slimmed down, becoming balanced and refined.
From the roots, his black hair lost its color, transforming into blazing crimson.
A divine aura slowly spread outward.
"It worked…" Goku muttered, sensing the completely different kind of ki.
The light faded.
The ritual ended.
Gohan slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands.
So this is… Super Saiyan God.
His body felt lighter than ever.
As if every movement perfectly aligned with the world itself.
"Not bad." Beerus stepped forward, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
"Finally… I smell the scent of a God. Still immature. But enough for this Lord to stretch a little."
Boom—!!!
Violent purple divine ki erupted from Beerus's body!
