Start in Dragon Ball GT, Super Saiyan 5 Defeats the God of Destruction

Chapter 14: From Giant Ape to Golden Giant Ape, and Super Saiyan 4

Everyone quickly dodged, looking at Lin Qi with puzzled expressions. What exactly was this guy planning to do to Goku?

"What are you doing?" Gohan shouted angrily, swiftly destroying the artificial moon in the sky.

After all, he had personally witnessed the destructive power of the Great Ape!

Boom!

However, Goku, who had already transformed into the Great Ape, would not revert to his normal form unless his tail was cut off.

"Why did you make Dad transform into a Great Ape?"

"Lord Lin Qi must have his reasons. Gohan, don't panic!" The Elder Kai placed his hands behind his back, addressing the confused crowd in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Really?" Pan looked at the Elder Kai skeptically. Was he really not messing with her grandpa?

Pulling tails, forcing transformations—this didn't seem like treating people as people anymore!

"Calm down, everyone!" The Elder Kai continued to reassure the group. "Lord Lin Qi is helping Goku improve his power!"

"Really?" Vegeta's eyes sparkled. Did that mean he could also skip Super Saiyan 3 and jump straight to Super Saiyan 4 with Lin Qi's method?

Facing the berserk Great Ape, Lin Qi flew into the air to stop him.

"So noisy!" Lin Qi leapt mid-air and kicked the Great Ape in the head.

Roar! The Great Ape froze momentarily after being kicked. Turning his blood-red eyes, he locked onto Lin Qi.

Roar! The completely irrational Great Ape swiped at Lin Qi.

In the eyes of the others, the two figures resembled someone swatting at a fly!

Lin Qi's nimble evasion left the Great Ape grasping at air. Frustrated, the ape roared again and tried to catch him.

Standing on the Great Ape's nose, Lin Qi shouted, "Quickly regain your sanity and move to the next step!"

Roar! The Great Ape couldn't understand and slapped at his own nose, inadvertently hurting himself and crying out in pain.

Lin Qi flew behind the ape's head, kicking again and provoking more furious roars.

Through Lin Qi's constant provocation and teasing, the irrational Great Ape became increasingly enraged and agitated.

Roar...

Amid the Great Ape's repeated roars, he threw his head back and howled. Flames of energy ignited around his body.

As the flames grew stronger, a faint golden hue appeared on the ape's fur. Soon, the golden glow spread, enveloping his entire body.

Golden Great Ape!

"He turned gold... I didn't know the Great Ape could transform further!" Vegeta's eyes gleamed even brighter.

Excellent! He took note of everything. The next one to transform into Super Saiyan 4 would be him, Vegeta! This path to greater power seemed quite promising.

Watching Goku smoothly enter the Golden Great Ape state, Lin Qi shifted his gaze to Pan and the others.

"Awaken his sanity," Lin Qi said coldly, distancing himself from the Golden Great Ape.

"What?" Gohan and the others were stunned. They weren't just spectators?

Did they actually have such a task?!

"Dad..." Before Gohan could act, he was swatted away by the Golden Great Ape.

"This..." Goten hesitated, not daring to face his father in this form.

"Grandpa..." Pan hovered in front of the Golden Great Ape's blood-red eyes, choking back tears. "Come back to your senses... You're scaring me like this!"

"Why don't you go and persuade him?" The Elder Kai asked Vegeta, standing by his side.

Even Kibito Kai had enthusiastically joined in trying to reason (and getting beaten up).

"Hmph! I can't bring myself to say such disgustingly sentimental things!" Vegeta snorted disdainfully, shouting insults at the still-berserk Golden Great Ape.

"Kakarot, you lowly Saiyan, no wonder you can't control your sanity!"

Roar! Roar! The Golden Great Ape roared more violently, as if trying to argue.

"Grandpa, this is the outfit I wore during my first World Martial Arts Tournament..."

"You even made it for me yourself. And this... This is a family photo. These are our memories! Have you forgotten them?"

Finally, under Pan's sorrowful persuasion and amidst much struggle, the Golden Great Ape Goku destroyed half of the Sacred World of the Kai in his rampage.

But he succeeded—he finally achieved Super Saiyan 4 form.

Ah... My Sacred World of the Kai! Both the Elder Kai and Kibito Kai were horrified as they stared at the devastated ground.

Amidst countless golden lights and occasional bursts of lightning, the hundred-meter-tall Golden Great Ape gradually shrank.

As the dazzling golden glow faded, a man with long black hair, a torso covered in red fur, and sharp golden eyes appeared before everyone.

Blood-red eye sockets, golden irises, a sharp yet cold gaze, and a swaying tail...

Super Saiyan 4 Goku had arrived!

"This... This power is incredible..." Super Saiyan 4 Goku looked at his hands in amazement, murmuring softly.

"It actually worked..." Vegeta looked both angry and a little pleased.

Angry because Kakarot had surpassed him again. While Vegeta was still stuck at Super Saiyan 2, Kakarot had already skipped ahead to Super Saiyan 4!

Pleased because now he knew exactly what to try when he got back!

"Damn it..." Vegeta clenched his fists tightly at his sides.

Gohan and Trunks didn't notice Vegeta's turbulent emotions. They excitedly praised Goku, their faces filled with admiration.

"Amazing!"

"Dad's power is incredible!!"

"Ha ha ha... This is all thanks to me!" The Elder Kai shamelessly claimed credit for the success.

"You want to fight me?" Lin Qi noticed Goku's gaze fixed on him, his expression indifferent.

Not a chance. Even though Goku had successfully reached Super Saiyan 4, he was still weaker than Lin Qi had been when he first attained the form.

Let alone now, when Lin Qi's power could rival Beerus...

"I just want to test this newfound strength. Can I?" Goku clenched his fists excitedly, his desire to fight written all over his face.

"I don't spar with people weaker than me," Lin Qi replied without hesitation, immediately refusing.

"I admit you're strong now, stronger than Baby, but you're still no match for me."

Goku lowered his eyes. He had always wanted to spar with Lin Qi but knew the gap between their powers was vast.

Previously, the situation with Baby had kept him occupied, but now it was different. Baby was gone, and his power had been greatly enhanced, thanks to the Elder Kai.

"Dad!!" Gohan hesitated, wanting to stop his father. But Goku's personality—his love for sparring—wasn't something anyone could suppress.

"How will I know unless I try?!" Goku lifted his gaze, staring intently at Lin Qi.

"I want to spar with you. I know you're strong, but I'm not necessarily weak!"

Lin Qi smirked. So this is GT Goku, huh?
