The strong, robust, red-furred ape-man form exuded immense energy. Even through the crystal ball, they could feel the powerful aura emanating from Super Saiyan 4 Goku.
"What... what is this?!"
"Could this be Super Saiyan as well?!"
Kibito Kai stared blankly at Goku in the Super Saiyan 4 form. He was no longer human.
At that moment, Goku in the crystal ball seemed to notice their gaze, and he glanced up to meet their eyes.
This mere eye contact placed enormous pressure on Kibito Kai, instilling fear deep in his soul.
"It is indeed Super Saiyan. I didn't expect him to go this far..." The Old Kai mumbled to himself, his face showing a hint of grave contemplation. He thought to himself: {The Saiyans' ancient form... I never thought I'd see it resurrected in Goku.}
As the Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago, his perspective was far broader than the current Supreme Kai.
But seeing Goku reach this point, he didn't know whether to be wary or pleased.
The appearance of an ancient power in this era, was it a good thing or a bad thing?
...
In a higher-level dimension, a towering temple stood at the center, its scale even grander than the Realm of the Supreme Kais.
This was the Realm of the Gods of Destruction.
The supreme deities of the universe, the God of Destruction Beerus, and the beings who transcended the realm of life, the Angels, resided here.
Since Beerus had entered his slumber, the Angel Whis had been overseeing the Realm of the Gods of Destruction.
As an Angel, his lifespan was endless. He had witnessed countless cycles, and time was just a number to him.
With nothing to do, Whis was eating sweets and observing the universe through his staff to pass the time.
Buzz buzz! Suddenly, the black magic ball on top of Whis's staff received a signal, flashing emerald green.
"Oh?" Whis said, surprised.
Generally, signals received by the staff were major events occurring in the universe.
For example, the birth of a powerful warrior in the lower realm.
Curious, Whis opened the information received by the staff.
A projection of Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the small planet appeared on the black magic ball.
"He's the Saiyan who defeated Frieza?!" Whis said, surprised, after identifying the red-haired ape.
He never imagined that this person would grow to this extent in just a few years. This power was among the strongest in the entire universe.
However, the surprise on Whis's face quickly turned to a thoughtful expression.
"This world... has been altered." Whis said seriously.
As an Angel, his existence had transcended this world.
He knew the past, discerned the future, and was omnipotent.
According to the world's original trajectory, Goku should have remained at Super Saiyan 3 in the coming years and should not have reached this form.
In fact, this form shouldn't even exist in this world.
However, Goku's further evolution had raised the universe's overall standards.
In a way, this was a good thing.
"Hmph? Has he become so powerful?" Whis said with surprise.
Goku in the projection was intentionally looking in his direction.
This made Whis glance at the God of Destruction's palace.
This era had changed. Perhaps Beerus would awaken in the future and find someone who could make him enjoy himself.
...
Lower Realm.
On the small planet, Super Saiyan 4 Goku stood in place, his sharp gaze sweeping across the vast darkness of the night sky.
After completing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, his life force had been elevated, and his power, speed, senses, and defenses had all been enhanced.
He faintly sensed a unique presence watching him from somewhere.
"This feeling... Is it King Kai or the Old Kai? No... it's not them..."
"But if it's not them, then who is it?"
Super Saiyan 4 Goku became serious.
He felt that the world he had been reborn into was different from his previous one.
Was it just his imagination?
With mixed emotions, Goku pondered for a moment and then withdrew his thoughts, casting aside all the extraneous thoughts in his mind.
He proactively deactivated the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.
"After completing the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, my power has increased once again..." Goku clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his blood and was very satisfied.
Now, every cell in his body felt activated and filled with immense energy.
The gap in his combat power between his normal state and before transforming into Super Saiyan 4 had almost doubled.
With his goal achieved, it was time to leave.
He put his right hand in a sword-finger position to his forehead and expanded his senses to locate the energy on Earth. With a thought, he returned to Earth.
...
Earth.
Mount Paozu.
Chi-Chi was filled with anger.
Goku had disappeared halfway through his work again. Without thinking, he had run off to train with King Kai.
The family expenses were already very high, and they couldn't even afford to eat if they didn't work hard. Now, Goku was skipping work from time to time, which made Chi-Chi even angrier.
Gohan and Goten stood aside, watching Chi-Chi, who was exuding a terrifying aura, and didn't dare to interrupt. They had given up the idea of speaking up for Goku.
In this situation, they could only silently pray for Goku and hope that he could get through this ordeal.
It was at this moment that Goku, who had just completed his breakthrough, teleported back to Earth and appeared right next to Chi-Chi.
"Chi-Chi, I'm back." Goku greeted Chi-Chi reflexively, but when Chi-Chi turned around, Goku felt something was wrong. The hairs on his body stood on end, and cold sweat involuntarily dripped down his face.
"You! Dare! To! Come! Back!" Chi-Chi said heavily, word by word.
Hearing this, Goku swallowed involuntarily and felt a sense of foreboding.
He suddenly remembered that he had quietly left Earth in this world to train on King Kai's planet.
He was finished. Judging by this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Um... Chi-Chi... listen to me... I can explain..." Goku wanted to defend himself, but the look in Chi-Chi's eyes made him immediately shut his mouth.
At this time, explaining would only make things worse.
