The most courageous pirate hunter

These ten years were entirely up to Hermes's own cultivation.

The next day.

Goku and Vegeta got up early in the morning and found Hermes meditating by the lake. Today, they wanted to ask Hermes how to transform into Super Saiyan 4.

"You two want to transform into Super Saiyan 4?"

Hermes glanced at the two of them sideways.

"Yes, I planned to ask back in the Supreme Kai's World, but you were taken away by Lord Beerus and Lord Whis at that time."

Sun Wukong looked on with anticipation.

Vegeta didn't say anything, but he nodded in agreement.

He still found it difficult to ask for advice like this, but fortunately, Sun Wukong was there, and it was most appropriate for Sun Wukong to take the lead in this matter.

"So, could Hermes teach us to transform into Super Saiyan 4? Although I can transform into Super Saiyan God on Earth, it always feels a bit inferior to Super Saiyan 4."

"Lord Beerus said that you can transform into Super Saiyan Blue, which is even more powerful than Super Saiyan God. Only Super Saiyan Blue can be on par with Super Saiyan 4."

Sun Wukong looked hopeful, rubbing his hands together with pleading eyes.

"no problem."

Hermes nodded readily, which surprised Goku and Vegeta. They had already prepared themselves to be rejected before asking any further questions.

A plan to appease them has been devised.

For example, he offered to help Hermes with his laundry, and to his surprise, Hermes readily agreed.

"This guy isn't so bad."

Vegeta muttered to himself.

"Great!"

Sun Wukong cheered happily, knowing that Hermes was not the kind of petty person.

"Actually, transforming into Super Saiyan 4 is easy, but before that, have you reached the full power of Super Saiyan 3?"

"Have!"

With two angry roars, the lake in front of them surged with waves. Goku and Vegeta both entered Super Saiyan 3 mode. Their golden, waist-length spiky hair and their fierce, eyebrowless appearance made it clear at a glance that they were not good people.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the two of them to reach Super Saiyan 3 full power, because Goku and Vegeta, unlike Hermes, do not pay more attention to physical training. They have life force, and their endurance and energy recovery abilities are proportional to their energy consumption.

But neither Goku nor Vegeta are fools.

They had asked the Earth Dragon about the need for a strong body, and after learning that they needed to cultivate their bodies, the two of them began to train their bodies during that period. The simplest and most effective way was to use their Qi to cleanse their bodies, or to constantly get injured.

Over time, their physical condition improved, and they continuously pushed their physical limits, which is why they were able to reach over 3 full power, because their bodies could withstand that load.

As the main characters and key supporting characters in Dragon Ball, neither of them can be viewed through the lens of common sense.

Hermes's training sessions each time lasted hundreds or thousands of years. Goku and Vegeta could probably achieve the same results in just one or two months.

It's fortunate that Hermes kept exploiting bugs or overtaking on various curves to create a mysterious distance; otherwise, it would be hard to say.

"not bad."

"To transform into Super Saiyan 4, there are a few conditions that must be met. The first is that the transformation in the previous stage must reach its limit. Super Saiyan 3 at full power is the most suitable. Of course, it is not necessary to reach full power, but reaching full power will make it easier to succeed."

"The second one is the tail!"

As Hermes spoke, he glanced at Goku and Vegeta's buttocks, which were quite rounded under the constraints of their training suits.

"Tail?"

Goku and Vegeta frowned. Their tails had been gone for many years. What were they going to do?

"It doesn't matter, I have a solution."

Hermes snapped his fingers, signaling the two not to worry, and then a large pair of pincers appeared out of thin air in his right hand—this was his ability to materialize his thoughts.

Hermes could materialize anything he thought of, if he so desired.

Of course.

Not everything can be materialized. At least Hermes cannot yet materialize his thoughts and ideas, such as creating life, black holes, planets, galaxies, the universe, and all living beings by hand.

However, he has already come up with a way to enhance the manifestation of his thoughts and ideas in relation to the creation of life: capture the Supreme Kai and copy his creative abilities.

Or they could simply devour the Supreme Kai.

The most direct way is for Hermes to become stronger. As long as he becomes stronger, all his abilities will also become stronger, including time stop, time reversal, telekinesis, the ability to materialize thoughts, the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Big-Small Fruit, the Teleport Fruit, the Five Homies, and all the superpowers of Planet Yardrat.

In terms of power.

Hermes is already equivalent to the God of Destruction, or even slightly stronger. After all, the God of Destruction doesn't have abilities like time stop, Devil Fruits, or Ultra Instinct. All they have is Self-Destruction.

"Hermes, what do you mean?"

Goku and Vegeta had a sudden, ominous feeling as they looked at the giant pincers.

"The tail can be pulled out again. If it grows back on its own, then never mind what I said."

"You decide!"

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be the original Saiyan transformation; the God Realm transformation is also possible."

Hermes shrugged.

"I'll go first."

Vegeta gritted his teeth. Compared to the transformation of the God Realm, he felt that the Primal Transformation was more suitable for him. So what if it was just pulling off a tail? What hadn't the Saiyan Prince seen?

It's all worth it as long as it makes me stronger.

"OK?"

Hermes snapped his fingers again, and a towering tree grew in front of Vegeta. Its numerous branches bound Vegeta tightly like chains, giving him no time to react.

I tried to break free, but to no avail.

Inadvertently.

Vegeta once again felt Hermes' power.

"It might hurt a little bit, after all, the tail is a Saiyan's weakness, but also a Saiyan's strength."

Hermes stepped forward, and Vegeta's training clothes on his tailbone automatically shattered, leaving only a trace of his tail. Without a word, Hermes grabbed it, and Vegeta gasped in shock.

"Ahhh~"

The next second, a hysterical scream of a pig being slaughtered resounded through the sky. Sun Wukong instinctively covered his ears, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Vegeta, whose head was the only part of his body that was struggling outside.

As Hermes exerted more force, Vegeta's eyes bulged and became bloodshot, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, drool uncontrollably dripped from his mouth, and his entire body trembled incessantly.

pain!

It's countless times stronger than being torn apart by grief.

"Oops~"

"What are you doing?"

Vegeta's chilling screams startled Whis and Beerus, who was sleeping. Beerus, who had been furious and murderous, flew out to see Hermes holding Vegeta's tailbone with pincers in both hands and forcefully pulling something out of Vegeta's back with one foot on it.

"Pull out the tail!"

As soon as Hermes finished speaking, he increased the force and pulled hard. In Vegeta's final climax, a furry tail was pulled out, and Vegeta's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

My body was convulsing as if I had an epileptic seizure.

It seems to really hurt.

Why are you pulling off the tail?

Beerus and Whis were both quite curious. They knew that Hermes had a tail, but they couldn't usually see it. According to Hermes, it had retracted into his body, a very magical little ability.

However, neither Goku nor Vegeta, who are also Saiyans, have tails, which was something no one had noticed before.

"This is a necessary condition for the original Saiyan transformation."

"It's like transforming into Super Saiyan 4."

Hermes gestured for Goku to come to the towering tree, which made Goku somewhat uneasy, since even Vegeta, with his outrageously high pride, almost couldn't resist.

With gritted teeth, Sun Wukong was determined to become stronger.

Upon reaching the towering tree, numerous branches began to bind it, leaving only his head sticking out. This made Sun Wukong even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but swallow hard, saying, "Hermes, be gentle."

But Hermes simply waved his hand.

Chapter 672 [This is the Power of Love]

There was a first time.

Hermes was much more skilled the second time. As the pincers clamped down, Goku shuddered and began to scream in agony, his hysterical state even more exaggerated than Vegeta's.

at last.

With a final, ghostly howl, Sun Wukong fainted, drenched in sweat, his body convulsing on the ground as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
