"Boom!"
A majestic aura surged forth, overwhelming energy erupted, and countless streams of pitch-black aura rushed toward Jiang Chen. Unlike Son Goku and Vegeta, who merely caused a resonance, Jiang Chen was like a river returning to the sea; that dense, pitch-black power poured straight into his body.
"Ugh!"
With a muffled groan, Jiang Chen felt as if his body was about to explode apart in the very next instant.
"Not good!" The expression on his face changed drastically as even he hadn't anticipated this kind of situation.
In his mind, it was simple: either he would fail, or if he succeeded, with his solid foundation, there shouldn't have been any major problem.
Yet, things had taken a sudden and dangerous turn.
He wasn't guiding the power at all; he was absorbing it recklessly, without limit.
"Boom!"
The aura soared again. In the blink of an eye, an incomparably violent energy erupted, covering Jiang Chen's pupils. The power of a Super Saiyan spread uncontrollably.
Pitch-black energy intertwined with golden radiance.
"ROAR!!"
A beast-like roar burst out. In the very next instant, Jiang Chen's consciousness was on the verge of collapsing completely.
"Not good! Aspara… it looks like he's absorbing that power?!" The Old Kaiōshin's expression shifted, and panic began to flash in his eyes.
At his words, Son Goku and Vegeta tensed up immediately.
Both were even ready to enter Super Saiyan 5 again at a moment's notice.
They had no choice. Compared to them, Jiang Chen's strength was simply too overwhelming.
Even if Jiang Chen had reassured them before that losing control wouldn't be too dangerous, that was just speculation. The truth depended entirely on what happened next.
"Ancestor!" Beside them, Kibito Kai was drenched in nervous sweat, his forehead wet as he watched.
And then, "Buzz!"
A ripple spread outward. Immediately, divine power enveloped Jiang Chen's entire body.
As that divine energy flowed, the violence and fury within his consciousness gradually calmed. At the same time, his physical form began to change.
Golden aura roared outward as white fur covered his body. His brown tail turned a shining silver-white.
"So this… is Super Saiyan Five?"
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, feeling the surging power within. His heart churned wildly. Before, just by sensing Goku and Vegeta, he couldn't clearly understand the might of Super Saiyan Five. But now… now he was certain.
Under normal multipliers:
Super Saiyan 1 = ×50
Super Saiyan 2 = ×100
Super Saiyan 3 = ×400
Super Saiyan 4 = ×4,000
Of course, for Vegeta and Jiang Chen, their Super Saiyan 4 multipliers were slightly below 4,000. Jiang Chen's was about ×3,000+, while Vegeta was closer to ×4,000.
But both could continue to grow, and theoretically reach the full ×4,000.
Thus, the Super Saiyan forms built one upon another step by step.
And Super Saiyan 5 was no exception. It was roughly ten times that of Super Saiyan 4, meaning, at this moment, Jiang Chen in his normal state now had a multiplier of ×30,000.
Yes. Thirty thousand times.
Just thinking about that number was enough to make one's heart race with excitement. And don't forget, there was still the possibility of stacking Super Saiyan God on top of that.
If Jiang Chen could merge them, even he couldn't imagine what level of strength he would reach. Will he reach the realm of the God of Destruction?
No, maybe he could even rival a Kaiōshin.
"Whoo…"
A long breath escaped Jiang Chen's lips. His aura gradually calmed, and his figure floated slowly before descending into the distance.
"Aspara, you're amazing! You actually succeeded just like that!" Son Goku couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes shining with admiration.
Vegeta, on the other hand, snorted coldly, his expression carrying faint irritation. But after everything they had gone through together, he was already used to it, and in the end, he chose not to say anything.
"Brat! This power, you'd best not use it too often! If you're not careful, your minds will collapse. You'd be better off focusing honestly on that divine power you mentioned before. I can sense that's the proper path." The Old Kaiōshin spoke sternly.
"Lord Old Kaiōshin?" Jiang Chen raised a brow in surprise, instinctively turning to look at him.
"Boy, I'm not trying to scare you! In ancient times, a Super Saiyan once walked this very path… and collapsed into nothing but pure destruction! If you continue to rely on this power, the result won't be much different." The Old Kaiōshin huffed again under Jiang Chen's gaze.
Jiang Chen grew thoughtful. Goku and Vegeta both frowned slightly as well.
"I see… I understand now." Jiang Chen gave a small nod.
"As long as you understand." The Old Kaiōshin nodded, preparing to leave.
But Jiang Chen suddenly stopped him.
"Lord Old Kaiōshin!"
His words froze the old deity mid-step. With a puzzled look, the Kaiōshin turned back.
"Lord Old Kaiōshin, I'd like to ask… do you think Son Goku could become the next Kaiōshin?" Jiang Chen didn't hide his intentions, he spoke directly.
"What are you planning?" The Old Kaiōshin looked at him suspiciously, glancing between Jiang Chen and Goku.
Goku and Vegeta both blinked in shock, instinctively turning their eyes toward Jiang Chen as well.
"Aspara!" Goku couldn't help but speak out.
"Lord Old Kaiōshin, you should already know this universe is in great danger. If it isn't resolved soon, the entire cosmos will fall into ruin."
"Didn't I say before that I had a solution?"
Seeing their confusion, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then continued.
"A solution? You mean making Goku the next Kaiōshin? But that alone can't fix things, can it?" Kibito Kai was dumbfounded, not expecting the conversation to suddenly shift onto him.
The Old Kaiōshin stayed silent, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, waiting for the rest.
"Lord Old Kaiōshin, you probably don't understand the structure of the greater multiverse. Compared to this universe, that one is far more complete. Over there, Kaiōshin preside over creation and life, while Gods of Destruction preside over destruction and ruin. The greatest problem in this universe is unchecked expansion… and the lack of order."
"If we let Goku become the new Kaiōshin, and Vegeta the new God of Destruction, then the balance of this universe can finally be restored, and the cosmos can return to its proper course."
Jiang Chen spoke slowly, his expression earnest.
This was his plan for the GT timeline and space. If GT space-time continued on this way, disaster was inevitable. To prevent its destruction, it had to be placed back on the correct path.
