Under the thump-thump-thump of the Emperor Engine,
His eyes received the Blutz Waves from the artificial full moon, and his tail began to react.
Gohan quickly transformed into a 25-meter-tall black Great Ape.
His blood-red eyes blazed with killing intent, filled with bestial rage, and his aura became incredibly savage and bloodthirsty.
"Haaah..."
A mighty roar erupted from the Great Ape's massive mouth.
A brilliant golden aura surged upward.
The Great Ape, previously covered in black fur, was instantly rendered a dazzling gold.
The fur on the Great Ape's head became voluminous and spiked up, clearly resembling the Super Saiyan hairstyle.
This was the Super Great Ape in the Super Saiyan state, a condition where the Great Ape form sustains the power of a Super Saiyan.
The power multiplier is 10 times for the Great Ape multiplied by 50 times for Super Saiyan, resulting in a total increase of 500 times.
Gohan's aura in this state already surpassed his previous Mystic form.
However, he was less agile.
The Super Saiyan Great Ape's battle power leaned heavily toward strength and defense.
Goku and Vegeta watched this scene in astonishment; what was happening before their eyes constantly challenged their understanding of Saiyans.
Even so, Gohan's current battle power was still too far below Cooler's.
"Aaaah~"
But the transformation wasn't over yet... "Boom!"
Thunder exploded in the sky!
Blue electrical sparks flickered across the Golden Great Ape's body.
Gohan, in his Great Ape form, successfully broke through into the Super Saiyan 2 state.
His entire body of golden fur looked like countless golden steel needles.
This was a transformation Gohan had attempted before but failed.
But now he succeeded.
His current base power was far greater than it had been a few years ago.
Daily, persistent training ensured he grew stronger every day.
A savage aura raged, accompanied by constant thunder and lightning in the sky.
Gusts of fierce wind swept through, howling mournfully.
The Great Ape form's 10 times multiplier combined with Super Saiyan 2's 100 times multiplier brought the total power increase to 1,000 times.
"Heh, interesting, but you're still far from matching me..."
Although Cooler was somewhat surprised by Gohan's strange transformation, he had absolute confidence in his own power.
"Kid, are you done yet?" he asked impatiently.
"Why the rush? Are you afraid of me?"
"Hmph, afraid of you?" Cooler showed a look of disdain.
After mocking Cooler, the Golden Great Ape violently pounded its chest twice, clenching its massive fists. Its muscles suddenly swelled, transforming it into a bulkier, muscular Golden Great Ape.
"Aaaah..."
The energy waves that had somewhat subsided began to roar once more.
His aura rapidly soared again, like it was flying!
The fur on the Great Ape's head grew wildly, becoming continuously longer.
Seeing this, Goku exclaimed in astonishment, "T-this is Super Saiyan 3?"
"When did Gohan master Super Saiyan 3?"
In fact, Gohan had already developed the Super Saiyan 3 form two years ago.
However, compared to his unique Mystic state, Super Saiyan 3 had too many drawbacks, so Gohan had never used this form.
As a result, everyone assumed Gohan couldn't achieve Super Saiyan 3.
The terrifying aura continued to spread, and the entire sky darkened.
Thunder and lightning flashed incessantly above.
The entire Earth was shaking, seemingly unable to withstand this powerful surge of energy.
Cooler's expression also began to turn serious.
The Great Ape's Super Saiyan 3 form.
The power multiplier is 10 times multiplied by the 400 times increase of Super Saiyan 3.
A massive 4,000 times increase!
It was at this moment that Gohan, in his Golden Great Ape form, suddenly experienced a profound and wonderful realization.
The world was quiet, boundless, and free.
Crack!
A flash of lightning crossed his mind.
Gohan's blood-red pupils contracted sharply.
His heart rate accelerated once more.
The 25-meter-tall Golden Great Ape rapidly began to shrink.
In an instant, golden light pierced through the clouds.
Golden energy waves rippled outward circle by circle, and the sky, previously filled with dark clouds, cleared up.
"Sorry about that, this is my first time transforming into this state, so I'm still getting used to it."
Gohan's voice emerged from the center of the golden light.
Everyone gradually managed to get a clear look at Gohan's appearance.
Gohan's entire body seemed to have enlarged, making him look more solid and powerful.
A head of thick, messy black hair draped over his shoulders, with a strand of black bangs hanging down over his forehead.
His eyes were deep; the solid blood-red color had separated into distinct pupils and whites. His golden pupils emitted an unnatural glow, and the deep, dark-red markings around his eyes added an indescribable charm.
Gohan's upper body was covered in dark-red body fur, and his arms were also thickly covered with dark-red hair, radiating a wild, untamed aura. He wore a gray wristband on each wrist.
His lower body was clad in loose black cargo pants and gray battle boots, giving him a heroic and vigorous appearance.
A bushy, dark-red tail twitched behind him in the wind.
Gohan carefully felt the formidable battle power surging within him.
A 4,000 times increase in battle power!
The same as the Super Saiyan 3 state in the Great Ape form.
The only difference was that he was now channeling the Great Ape power of Super Saiyan 3 while in his humanoid form.
Therefore, it eliminated all the drawbacks of both the Super Great Ape and Super Saiyan 3.
In this current state, everything—stamina, speed, strength, defense, endurance, and energy consumption—was perfect.
A textbook all-rounder!
Energy consumption was also extremely low.
Yet, this form possessed a power multiplier increase of 4,000 times or more.
Truly terrifying!
Gohan finally understood why Vegeta in GT could bypass Super Saiyan 3 and transform directly into the Super Saiyan 4 state.
Because this so-called Super Saiyan 4 was actually the Super Saiyan 3 Great Ape form channeled through a humanoid body.
Therefore, it was both Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4!!!
Although he didn't know if this was correct, this was Gohan's temporary understanding... Looking at the fiercely surging aura of Gohan, everyone was stunned.
Even Trunks was dumbfounded.
Didn't they agree to transform into Golden Great Apes together?
But why did Brother Gohan quietly become so cool again?
Piccolo was completely bewildered: "What transformation is this now? Is that even Gohan?"
"It's incredible. Gohan's energy can actually reach such a level, and his appearance has completely changed." Goku sighed in admiration.
"That Gohan kid always manages to surprise people." Vegeta's eyes gleamed.
He had spotted a new path.
Perhaps he couldn't achieve this kind of evolution, but he believed Trunks could—his son could.
The Supreme Kai clenched his fist happily: "Mr. Gohan's aura is now on par with Cooler's. He should be able to win, right?"
"Definitely," Kibito replied, full of confidence.
"Yes, Brother Gohan will definitely win." Trunks tightly clenched his fists, more excited than anyone else.
Brother Gohan is truly amazing... Cooler looked at Gohan in his Super Saiyan 4 form, his fighting spirit soaring, his blood boiling.
"Come on, Gohan. You've made me wait this long; I hope you don't disappoint me too much."
He roared loudly, his golden aura burning fiercely, causing the surrounding space to constantly warp.
"Hmph, bring it on. Let's see who kills whom." Gohan's fighting spirit was also unprecedentedly high.
At this moment, it felt as if hot magma, not blood, flowed through his veins.
[Note]: The storyline of this book blends the unique timelines of GT and the Super timeline, meaning characters from both timelines may appear here. Therefore, this is a new, independent story.
The author will do their best to integrate and rationalize the power scaling system and the narrative.
Situations like Super Saiyan Blue being equally matched with Master Roshi or Krillin in a beam struggle will not happen here.
Gohan's future path will be SSJ4, God Ki SSJ4 (Limit Breaker?), then Beast, and later transformations will be discussed later... Goku and Vegeta here will most likely still follow the path of the Gods.
Please don't flame me, thank you...
