"This monster is me… the monster on the night of the full moon…"
Seeing the crazily destructive Great Ape, Goku's body stiffened, as if he suddenly understood something.
"...I finally understand... The monster that trampled Grandpa to death and destroyed the World Martial Arts Tournament... was me!
I can only wait until I die in the future and go to the Underworld to apologize to Grandpa."
Grandpa had told him that on the night of the full moon, a terrifying monster would appear, so he must go to bed early.
Grandpa died at the feet of the monster on the night of the full moon.
On the night of the full moon, they were trapped in Emperor Pilaf's castle, and a monster appeared and shattered the castle.
At the World Martial Arts Tournament, he and Grandpa Jackie Chun fought until nightfall, until the moon came out.
Then the monster appeared and destroyed the venue, and Grandpa Jackie Chun used Kamehameha to push the moon away.
Scene after scene flashed through Goku's mind, and even if he was stupid, he understood what was going on.
"Is it because of my tail that I transform?"
He remembered waking up in Emperor Pilaf's castle with his tail broken, and the stammering words Yamcha and Bulma had said.
He remembered that he would lose his strength whenever his tail was grabbed, and at Baba's place, Grandpa pulled off his tail.
He already understood in his heart.
The tail was his weakness and the key to his transformation into a monster. If his tail was cut off during transformation, he would return to normal.
Or, as long as there was no moon, he could also return to normal.
"Then I'll pull it off!"
Goku grabbed his own tail and pulled it off with great force.
He didn't want to transform into an irrational monster again and harm innocent people.
"Ah... Ow ow ow ow..."
Holding his pulled-off tail, Goku hopped around the room in pain.
This scene also stunned Professor X and the others.
They didn't understand why Goku would mutilate himself and pull off his own tail.
The key was that he actually pulled it off.
"Goku, are you alright? Let me see if you're bleeding."
Gabrielle quickly took out a first-aid kit, came forward and hugged Goku, then pulled down his pants to check.
"He's actually fine..."
Goku's butt was very smooth; there was no trace of the tail's break, nor any bloodstains, as if he had never had a tail.
"Goku, why did you pull off your tail?"
The astute Professor seemed to sense something and pushed his wheelchair forward to ask.
Goku, without any concealment, told the truth about his transformation into a Great Ape.
"This is good, this is good."
Professor X nodded upon hearing this.
If pulling off the tail could prevent the transformation, then that would naturally be for the best.
Because in this way, there would be no evidence to prove that Goku was the Great Ape, and the out-of-control Great Ape was indeed too dangerous.
"Goku, you must remember, no matter who asks you in the future, do not tell them about these things."
"Why?"
Goku put on his pants.
Professor X explained seriously:
"Because last night you transformed into a Great Ape and killed many soldiers, and the Great Ape you transformed into was too powerful. Many bad people will want to obtain your power.
If others know that the Great Ape last night was you, many, many bad things will happen."
"Grandpa Professor, I understand."
Goku heard it vaguely, not quite understanding what the Professor meant, but it didn't prevent him from doing as told.
Because he could sense that the Professor was truly concerned about him.
"Goku, killing so many people as the Great Ape was not your fault, so don't be too sad."
Worried that Goku, knowing the truth, might develop psychological problems, Professor X began to comfort him softly.
He found that when being chased by the Facility's mercenaries, Goku never fought to kill.
This showed how kind his heart was.
Now knowing that he transformed into a Great Ape and killed so many people, he would surely be very sad, and might even develop psychological illnesses.
This was very dangerous for mutants.
The power of mutants is easily affected by psychological factors.
Many mutants lose control after awakening their abilities because they are frightened by their own powers, afraid of their suddenly awakened abilities.
The most obvious example of this is Phoenix.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill you all. When I get to the Underworld, I will apologize to you in person."
Hearing Professor X's words, Goku clasped his hands together and bowed towards the battlefield.
After bowing, he immediately became the lively Goku again, showing no signs of being affected.
"This child, he really is open-minded."
Gabrielle, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask:
"Goku, do you really not mind that you killed so many people after transforming?"
In her opinion, those Facility mercenaries who aided evil deserved to die. They were all people who deserved death.
But the soldiers of the army, they died fighting to protect the city and its citizens, and their deaths were actually quite unjust.
Just imagine how sad their parents, wives, and children would be when they learned of their deaths.
So she felt that this matter indeed couldn't be considered Goku's fault, but Goku should at least be sad for a period of time, which would be more normal.
"I like fighting strong people, but I don't like killing. Grandpa said that killing is wrong."
Goku blinked and replied:
"But they are already dead. Even if I'm sad, they can't be resurrected. When I die in the future, I will apologize to them in the Underworld."
He didn't understand why Aunt Gabrielle didn't understand such a simple truth.
"Yes, it's us humans who always like to complicate simple things."
Professor X came in front of Goku and stroked his head.
Goku's words just now were like a sudden flash of lightning in the dark night, instantly shattering his thirty-five-year-old heart ailment.
Yes, the dead cannot be resurrected. No matter how guilty or sad he was, the students and innocent citizens who died because of him could not be resurrected.
Instead of being so decadent and closing himself off mentally, it's better to live well and protect those who are still alive.
For example, Wolverine, who always wanted to commit suicide after he died, and those mutant children in North Dakota.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I still have the Dragon Balls, I can use the Dragon God to resurrect them!"
At this moment, Goku suddenly remembered something and took out the Four-Star Dragon Ball, which had not yet recovered, from his clothes pocket.
Grandpa refused to be resurrected after his death, wanting to live in the Underworld, which was why he hadn't collected the Dragon Balls to make a wish.
But those soldiers he killed would definitely want to be resurrected.
So he could completely wait until the Dragon Balls returned to normal a year later, borrow Bulma's Dragon Radar to collect the seven Dragon Balls, and summon the Dragon God again.
As long as he made a wish to the Dragon God, those soldiers could be resurrected, just like when he wished to resurrect Upa's father.
