Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

"Afterimage?!" The attack missed, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku suddenly came to his senses and realized that something was wrong.

"Where are you looking, Kakarot?" Tarot's voice rang out from behind Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

Upon hearing this, Super Saiyan 4 Goku's expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly and launched another fierce and terrifying attack on Tarot.

He knew that if he stopped, he would face Talot's attack.

Before that, he must demonstrate his full strength.

The powerful iron fist is devastating; every attack contains terrifying destructive force, and a single blow is enough to turn an asteroid into dust in the universe.

However, Tarot seemed to have already seen through his attack methods, and no matter how Super Saiyan 4 Goku attacked, he could not cause any real damage to Tarot.

All the attacks were neutralized by Tarot, which caused Super Saiyan 4 Goku's expression to change drastically again. He was horrified and felt completely unwell.

I knew Talot was strong, but I didn't expect the gap to be so huge.

Before he could make a move, Tarot launched the first attack, delivering a powerful punch that struck Super Four Sun Wukong squarely in the chest.

"Pfft!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku, struck by this heavy blow, looked pale and spat out a stream of acidic liquid, with traces of blood faintly visible in the air.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku cried out in pain and staggered backward.

Fortunately, he is currently in Super Saiyan 4 form; otherwise, Talot's punch might have crippled him.

"I didn't expect all my attacks to be ineffective against you. It's hard to imagine how you trained, Tarot," Super Saiyan 4 Goku said with high spirits.

Despite the blow, he wasn't angry; instead, he seemed incredibly excited, his fighting spirit surging even more intensely from the excruciating pain.

"I only got lucky and received guidance from some powerful beings. The pantheon of your world is incomplete. Otherwise, you and Vegeta could have reached even greater heights," Tarot encouraged Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

Actually, saying that is a bit of an underestimation of himself, because the effort that Talot put in was definitely several times that of others.

With a clenched fist, powerful energy gathered in Tarot's palm, and he unleashed a powerful energy cannon at Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

"Ten times - Turtle Shell - Ki Blast - Wave~~!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku dared not slack off and immediately used his strongest finishing move to deal with the situation.

Boom! ...

The two sides' ultimate moves canceled each other out, and the flames from the explosion were dispersed by the powerful auras emanating from them in the next second.

Tarot and Super Saiyan 4 Goku locked eyes, and after this tentative contest, they both gained an accurate assessment of each other's strength.

"That's enough for the warm-up. Now I'm getting serious, Kakarot." After saying that, a flash of blue and white lightning appeared in Tarot's eyes, and the second stage of Super Saiyan energy within his body was activated.

"Crackling sounds!" Blue and white lightning crackled around Talot.

A powerful aura instantly formed, and its terrifying presence immediately overwhelmed Sun Wukong's Super Saiyan 4 form.

At this moment, Talot's golden hair stood on end, his body was surrounded by dense blue and white lightning, his aura surged, his face was cold, and he exuded a kingly air of contempt for everything.

Witnessing Tarot transform into the peak Super Saiyan 2 form, Super Saiyan 4 Goku couldn't help but gasp, his forehead beaded with sweat, after feeling the astonishing aura emanating from Tarot.

Tarot in his Super Saiyan 1 full-power state, based solely on his apparent fighting strength, already surpassed his Super Saiyan 4.

Now that he's transformed into Super Saiyan 2, it seems... he's suddenly outmatched.

However, Sun Wukong is still Sun Wukong, and he will not easily admit defeat.

"Can Super Saiyan 2 really be this powerful? It's dangerous, but I feel incredibly excited!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku, his fighting spirit fully ignited, gritted his teeth and let out a roar.

In an instant, his aura expanded, and a powerful aura condensed in a short time. His domineering bloodline power surged towards Talot.

Sensing the impact of Super Saiyan 4 Goku's proactively unleashed aura, Tarot smiled calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and his powerful aura spread out like a torrent.

This overwhelming aura, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, instantly overwhelmed the bloodline pressure of Super Saiyan 4 Sun Wukong.

In a flash, the two of them transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from the spot.

Their forms vanished, moving and colliding in space like ghosts.

In the blink of an eye, Tarot and Super Saiyan 4 Goku clashed dozens of times.

The intense aftershocks of the battle caused spatial distortion and global upheaval.

The devastating aftershocks mercilessly tore the earth apart, creating several astonishing chasms.

'Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! ……'

The battle between the two sides continued to escalate and intensify, with the aftershocks of the battle distorting space itself.

If Talot hadn't used divine power to maintain Earth's stability during the battle, Earth would probably be in turmoil by now.

……

Outside the battlefield.

"Hmph! It seems the battle between Kakarot and Tarot is about to be decided, tch~!" Vegeta arrived late, watching the fight between Tarot and Kakarot.

He didn't mind Kakarot fighting Talot first; on the contrary, he was quite glad.

At least, this opportunity can be used to make a judgment, and there is a greater chance of success in the battle with Talot later.

……

On the battlefield.

The battle between Tarot and Super Saiyan 4 Goku intensifies.

Faced with the pressure from Tarot, Super Saiyan 4 Goku demonstrated his amazing growth ability. He learned and evolved in battle, gradually adapting to Tarot's fighting rhythm.

He also changed his fighting style to make up for his shortcomings and make his fighting style more perfect.

A loud bang!

Tarot and Sun Wukong exchanged a punch, creating a massive explosion in space powerful enough to destroy the world.

Impacted by the force, Super Saiyan 4 Goku was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

In contrast, Talot stood firm like an unshakeable mountain.

"This is really a headache. My Super Saiyan 4th stage seems to be no match for your Super Saiyan 2nd stage at all." Faced with this cruel difference in strength, Super Saiyan 4 Goku was both amused and exasperated. He felt very unwilling to accept it, but he was also convinced of Tarot's strength.

If it weren't for the fact that Super Saiyan 4th Stage sublimated his bloodline, raising his physical strength to an extremely high level, with his current combat power alone, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight Talot head-on.

"Don't underestimate yourself. The power of Super Saiyan 4 is far more than this. The ever-burning Saiyan blood will drive you to evolve continuously. If you can gain some insights from your battle with me, perhaps you can break through the limits of Super Saiyan 4 without my help." Tarot's words invigorated Super Saiyan 4 Goku. His previous disappointment vanished, replaced by intense excitement and a thirst for greater power.

Super Saiyan 4: Limit Break – that's his next goal.

If he succeeds, to what extent will his strength increase?

Even if he doesn't reach the level of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, he would probably be able to crush Super Saiyan 1 Omega Dragon, right?

It might even reach the level of a demonized super one-star dragon!

"Then I'll have to give it a try!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku, his mind racing with excitement, had veins bulging on his forehead and his bloodline power surging like an erupting volcano.

"Aaaaaaah!!!" A soul-piercing scream erupted from Super Saiyan 4 Goku's mouth.

His bloodline power expanded rapidly, and golden aura swept from the soles of his feet throughout his body. The intensity of his aura was far more astonishing than before, and faint streaks of red lightning could be seen in the distance.

In a sense, this red lightning bolt is closely related to the breakthrough of the fourth stage of Super Saiyan.

"That's more interesting." Tarot smiled slightly and beckoned to Super Saiyan 4 Goku, who was in a state of explosive energy, indicating that he could continue his attack.

Seeing this, Super Saiyan 4 Goku charged forward with both legs, and a series of explosions rang out.

His right fist was clenched tightly, and the strike, imbued with the power of his burning bloodline, could be faintly heard with the roar of a dragon.

This strike carried the ultimate destructive power that could penetrate everything!

"Dragon Fist!!! Explode!!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku shouted, unleashing a powerful punch imbued with the might of the Dragon God.

Facing the oncoming destructive dragon fist, Talot neither dodged nor evaded, remaining standing still.

He raised his right hand, gathering all his power in his palm, as if he was going to block Super Saiyan 4 Goku's Dragon Fist head-on!

But then, an unexpectedly powerful impact surprised Talot, as the force was far beyond his wildest imagination.

A deafening dragon roar suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The ultimate fist pressure, imbued with boundless dragon might, pierced through Talot's body, crushing everything behind him.

Even the aftershocks are something that ordinary people cannot withstand. Even a being as strong as the peak of the seventh dimension would be severely injured or even killed if touched by them.

This is just the beginning!

"It's not over yet! Break!" Sun Wukong unleashed a Super Dragon Fist that surpassed his limits!

Boom! A golden aura suddenly shot into the sky, and a violent and terrifying bloodline power suddenly erupted.

The power that Sun Wukong unleashed in that instant even reached the level of the ninth dimension.

"Excellent! Kakarot!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku's performance surprised Tarot.

The power unleashed by the Super Dragon Fist propelled Talot's body, sending him hurtling into space.

During the power burst, Super Saiyan 4 Goku was enveloped in substantial bloodline power, making his aura even more imposing.

[The power of the Dragon Fist indirectly drew out the bloodline power within Kakarot. If he could detonate the bloodline power within him, he might actually be able to break through to the Super Four Realms without the assistance of divine power.] Tarot speculated in his mind.

Of course, the most urgent task at hand is to neutralize Super Saiyan 4 Goku's Super Dragon Fist.

Otherwise, I might really have been sent into outer space by that punch.

"Buzz~!!!" In an instant, Talot unleashed the divine power within his body.

With the addition of divine power, Tarot entered the second stage of Super Saiyan God Power Enhancement state, and his combat power showed an explosive increase. He instantly stabilized his body, and Goku, who was unleashing the Super Dragon Fist, could no longer shake Tarot in the slightest.

As Tarot's divine power suppressed him, Super Saiyan 4 Goku's dragon might and bloodline burst dissipated, leaving him unable to move while maintaining his punching stance. No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer shake Tarot.

Even the Super Dragon Fist, unleashed at full power, couldn't injure Tarot, which horrified Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

He had considered that Talot would neutralize the Super Dragon Fist, but he didn't expect Talot to neutralize it so easily.

[This power... is the same as the feeling before, it's not ki, but it's even stronger than ki!] Super Saiyan 4 Goku keenly sensed the change in Tarot's aura.

This power, which was not mere aura, was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Talot smiled calmly and delivered a powerful knee strike, hitting Super Saiyan 4 Goku squarely in the abdomen.

A muffled thud!

The Super Saiyan 4 Goku, struck by this powerful blow, spat out a stream of acidic liquid, his muscles twitched, and he temporarily lost the ability to move.

Taking advantage of the stalemate between Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Tarot, Tarot raised his hand and threw another punch.

"Bang!" A powerful punch landed squarely on Super Saiyan 4 Goku's face.

This punch was too sudden, and its destructive power was quite terrifying. With just one punch, Super Saiyan 4 Goku lost control of his body, and his whole body fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the ground.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Super Saiyan 4 Goku regained control of his body just before he hit the ground, landing smoothly with a graceful backflip.

"Phew... Phew... That was close!" Having regained control of his body without serious injury, Super Saiyan 4 Goku breathed a sigh of relief and casually wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

If Talot's Super Saiyan 4th stage physique hadn't been strong enough, those two attacks would have rendered him incapable of fighting.

Talot's power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

At this moment, Sun Wukong had no idea that Tarot had already shown mercy; otherwise, how could he have withstood it?

"Was that special power just now the key to breaking through the limit?" Super Saiyan 4 Goku muttered to himself.

"Is this all you've got? If it ends here, I'll be very disappointed, Kakarot." Tarot's voice traveled across space to Super Saiyan 4 Goku's ears.

Upon hearing this, Super Four Sun Wukong's face showed a hint of anger, yet also a helpless smile.

"My limits are certainly not limited to this, come again!! Tarot!!" Super Saiyan 4 Goku attacks once more. (End of Chapter)
