Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

"The initial stage of Super Saiyan 4... Could it be that there's something beyond that?!" Goku's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes flashing with horror, his face filled with disbelief.

The Super Saiyan 4 transformation was already incredibly powerful; in his view, it was almost the limit for a Saiyan.

To his surprise, this was not even the complete Super Saiyan 4th stage.

"You're right, what's next..." The moment he finished speaking, a divine light flashed in Talot's eyes.

The next second, a profound and mysterious divine power surged out from his body and swirled around him.

[This power... it feels like it did before! What kind of technique is this?!] Vegeta, as an observer, immediately thought of the battle with Tarot earlier.

The invisible power that Talot released with a single glance earlier is the same power he is releasing now.

It turned out that it wasn't his imagination; this invisible force was the key to achieving the fourth stage of the Perfect Super Saiyan!

*Buzz!*

The divine power rapidly receded, and Talot's Super Saiyan 4 form underwent a visible change.

His body became more robust, with long, bright red hair reaching his waist, a wild appearance, and a dazzling divine light emanating from him—a perfect blend of divinity and wildness.

This is Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break!

As everyone stared at Talot in his current Super Saiyan 4th Stage Limit Break state, their breathing became heavy, and they were momentarily stunned.

At this moment, their bodies and souls were swept by an invisible divine power, and they were unable to recover for a while.

"This is... the complete form of Super Saiyan 4, it's called Super Saiyan 4, Limit Break!" Talot explained.

Everyone snapped out of their daze upon hearing the sound.

"Super Saiyan 4th Stage Perfect Form... Limit Break? I can't sense any aura, what's going on..." Vegeta, who was the first to come to his senses, stared sharply at Tarot in front of him, not wanting to miss any detail, and deeply engraved Tarot's Super Saiyan 4th Stage Limit Break state into his mind.

At the same time, his spirits were lifted, and Super Saiyan 4: Perfect Form became his next goal.

This form is the one they achieved after their Saiyan bloodline power reached its peak.

As a Saiyan prince with royal blood flowing through his veins, he is destined to embark on the path of Super Saiyan 4.

There's no transformation involved; it suits him even better than Super Saiyan 4!

"I can't sense any aura at all, but there's a suffocating sense of oppression... Is this the power of Super Saiyan 4? Unbelievable." Future Trunks swallowed hard, his face full of disbelief.

He had once fantasized about what Super Saiyan 4 would look like, but when he actually witnessed the form of Super Saiyan 4, the difference between the two was far greater than he had guessed.

Therefore, Future Trunks even had a bold idea in his mind: was Super Saiyan 4 what they Saiyans looked like after they reverted to their ancestral form?

If it's a primal form, can I still complete this transformation?

After all, he is a half-Saiyan, not a pure-blooded Saiyan.

"So it turns out that we Saiyans can grow to such a terrifying level through continuous transformations... I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. The power of a Super Saiyan is limitless, and we still need to explore it further." After witnessing Tarot's transformation, Goku was deeply moved.

The power of Super Saiyan 4 truly refreshed his understanding of Super Saiyans.

As long as one continues to cultivate and deeply develops one's bloodline, one can become this strong. In the past, he would never have dared to even think about it.

But things are different now. The emergence of Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break changed his mind and made Goku believe that Saiyans have no limits.

Furthermore, above the fourth stage of Super Saiyan, there is a fifth stage of Super Saiyan.

"Uncle Tarot, may I ask you a question? Since Super Saiyan 4 already exists, does Super Saiyan 5 also exist? Or is Super Saiyan 4 the limit for us Saiyans?" Gohan asked Tarot, expressing his curiosity.

This is exactly what everyone else wants to know, but doesn't dare to ask.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Talot's answer.

Is Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break the limit for Saiyans?

Or is this just the beginning?

"That's an excellent question. Whether the Super Saiyan 5 transformation exists hasn't been confirmed yet; even I haven't reached that level. However, I can tell you that we Saiyans have no limits. When you grow to a certain level in the future, perhaps the Super Saiyan 5 will appear within you." Tarot held Gohan in high regard. As long as this kid didn't give up training and maintained his training over the years, with the accumulation of his talent and potential, it wouldn't be long before he became the strongest member of the Z Fighters.

Son Gohan was quite surprised by Tarot's attention.

Not only him, but everyone else was surprised by this. No one expected that Tarot would value Son Gohan so much.

Sun Wukong, however, seemed to recall something, and hesitated to speak.

"Can I really...do it? Super Saiyan 5?" Gohan suppressed his restless heart. Tarot's high regard for him greatly encouraged him and filled him with confidence.

"Of course, in my opinion, each of you has the potential to master Super Saiyan 5," Talot explained.

Upon hearing this, Son Gohan pondered for a moment and then nodded seriously.

Even if he doesn't master the fifth stage of Super Saiyan, he at least needs to surpass himself and reach a higher level so that he can be of great help when enemies appear in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Talot deactivated his Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break transformation.

He has accomplished his purpose here and should go back now.

He also wondered how much their fighting power would increase after they emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Is it possible to surpass Vegeta and achieve the Super Saiyan 3 transformation?

After all, Sun Wukong is the main character, even if he wasn't shown Super Saiyan 3.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Talot took his leave and used spatial teleportation to return to Xidu.

Goku and Gohan were waiting for Popo to prepare the training supplies. Once everything was ready, they would set off to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

After exchanging a few words with Goku and Gohan, Future Trunks also set off to return to West City.

He deliberately avoided being with Talot.

For him, the crisis in this timeline has been resolved, but the future timeline he is in is still suffering from the disasters brought by the androids. Now that he is strong enough, it is time to go back and quell the turmoil in the future world and eliminate Cell.

Only by completely quelling the disasters that will occur in the future world can he put his mind at ease.

As for Vegeta, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he said to Goku with a provocative tone, "Kakarot, I hope your strength after you come out won't disappoint me."

"Of course, maybe after Gohan and I finish our training, my fighting power will surpass yours," Goku chuckled and said.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta's lips curled into a wicked smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Now, he has surpassed Goku, and he is also very confident that even if Goku enters the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train, he will never be able to surpass him.

Once he overtakes you, don't even think about catching up easily!

"I'll be watching," Vegeta said, turning away arrogantly.

The two years of intense training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber took a tremendous toll on his body, and even as a Saiyan prince, he was affected to some extent.

Now, he also needs to rest, reflect, and absorb the lessons learned from his battle with Talot.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than a day has passed quietly.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened during these two days. If anything, it was that Future Trunks was sent back to his future timeline by Talot using the power of time and space.

The reason for leaving in such a hurry was twofold: firstly, he was worried about Bulma in the future timeline; secondly, Future Trunks believed that he was an outsider and did not belong to this timeline.

It is not appropriate for me to stay in this world.

Because of Future Trunks' departure, Talot has been spending the last two days shopping and sightseeing with Bulma, and he's also brought Android 18 along. It should be said that Bulma is bringing Android 18.

Talot had experienced all sorts of terror while the two women were shopping.

However, because he had accompanied Bulma and Serena from his timeline to go shopping, he was very receptive to it. While flirting with Bulma, he would also tease Android 18 from time to time.

I have to say, number 18 is really easy to tease.

After shopping, Bulma and No. 18 went home.

As soon as I arrived home, two incredibly powerful auras emanated from the distant horizon.

Without a doubt, it was the father-son duo, Son Goku and Son Gohan, who emerged from their seclusion.

Meanwhile, in another uninhabited area on Earth.

Vegeta, who was in a state of enlightenment, stopped training and looked up at the sky.

"You've finally emerged from seclusion. This aura has made my long wait worthwhile, Kakarot." With that, Vegeta, his spirits lifted, unleashed his power and charged straight towards Kami's Lookout.

Tarot naturally sensed Vegeta's presence as well. The guy immediately unleashed his aura and rushed towards Kami's Palace. It was obvious what he was going to do.

There's going to be a good show, and he plans to go and watch it; it would be a shame to miss it.

Having made up his mind, Talot went straight to the Temple of the Gods.

……

Temple of Heaven.

Son Goku and Son Gohan, who had just emerged from their seclusion, were changing clothes with Popo's help.

After a year and four months of intense training, even though Bobo had prepared many changes of clothes for them, they were almost all used up.

After such a long period of grueling training, both Son Gohan and Son Goku have undergone tremendous changes.

The one who changed the most was naturally Gohan, because he really grew a lot taller.

As for his strength, he has not only mastered the first and second stages of the Super Saiyan transformation, but has also reached a very high level of proficiency. Right now, he is maintaining the full power of the first stage of the Super Saiyan transformation, and it is incredibly natural.

This skillful control even surpasses that of Vegeta, who appeared earlier.

As for Sun Wukong, his progress has certainly been tremendous, especially since before his training, he received guidance from Tarot's transformation and was stimulated by Vegeta, which has enabled him to continuously push his limits over the past year.

Judging solely from his current combat strength, he is in no way inferior to Vegeta.

As for transformation, there's no doubt that it's no worse than his own son's.

Soon, the father and son changed into their new martial arts uniforms, relaxed for a bit, and were about to eat the food Bobo had prepared.

Suddenly.

A ripple spread through the space.

Talot appeared before them, transcending space.

"Talot..."

"Uncle Talot!"

When they saw Tarot arrive, Goku and Gohan greeted him at the same time.

"It seems your cultivation is progressing quite well." Talot's gaze lingered on the two of them.

There is no doubt that both Son Goku and Son Gohan have mastered the second stage of the Super Saiyan transformation, and their strength can be judged by their ki.

While Gohan's normal fighting power hasn't reached 20 billion points yet, it's not far off.

As for Goku, his normal fighting power should be similar to Vegeta's, both exceeding 20 billion points.

"Haha, so-so. Compared to you, Gohan and I still have a long way to go," Goku said with utmost humility.

He had barely finished speaking when his expression froze, turning serious.

In his aura perception, Vegeta's ki was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

"Vegeta really did come after all." After confirming that it was Vegeta's presence, Goku had already guessed Vegeta's purpose.

Just then, he was also itching to get involved. Although he was very serious about Gohan's training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan was still his son, and he couldn't let go completely.

Vegeta is different. They are natural rivals, so he can fight without restraint. Otherwise, he would be the one who suffers.

Vegeta, on the other hand, doesn't care about all that.

Talott didn't say anything, he just stayed quietly.

Actually, compared to Vegeta, Goku's performance really shocked Tarot.

I originally thought that Goku would be eager to challenge him, just like Vegeta was two days ago.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong was so calm and composed, and didn't even seem to have any intention of fighting.

Sun Wukong knew how big the gap was, and that it would be more practical to fight Vegeta than to fight him.

……

Shortly after, a white aura shot upwards from below the Temple of Heaven, then landed steadily on the temple's platform. (End of Chapter)
