With blue hair and crimson body fur. Unlike other Super Saiyan 4s, Bulla's upper body was still clad in a vest.
"Perfect! That means tomorrow I can beat the crap out of that guy!" Bulla declared confidently, her eyes flashing with unshakable resolve.
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!
Several figures appeared one after another behind Bulla. The beautiful young girl, transformed into such a wild form, left everyone marveling in awe.
"Whoa! Bulla actually achieved the Super Saiyan 4 form! Vegeta, you're really blessed, Trunks unlocked a new form, and now Bulla has reached Super Saiyan 4 too!" Son Goku's praise instantly filled Vegeta with pride.
"Hmph! Of course. Who else's son and daughter could they be?"
Trunks clapped his hands lightly. "Not bad. Sis, you've become Super Saiyan 4, too."
For Trunks, Bulla's transformation wasn't surprising at all, it felt only natural. But it was Goku's words that made Bulla suddenly notice something strange about her brother.
She couldn't sense Trunks' Ki at all. That was… unbelievable.
Bulla ran up to him and asked: "Big brother, what's going on with you?"
Everyone around looked at Trunks with puzzled eyes. Having no choice, Trunks decided to reveal the "truth."
"It's the Super Saiyan God. Back on Planet Yardrat, the Grand Elder there told me about it."
Trunks fabricated an explanation, but for it to sound convincing, he had to invoke the authority of a highly respected figure.
And who better than the Grand Elder of Yardrat?
As he spoke, Trunks narrated the tale of the Super Saiyan God to the others.
"Super Saiyan God? Father, have you ever heard of it? You're the Prince of the Saiyans…" Bulla asked Vegeta.
That question caught Vegeta completely off guard. For the Saiyan Prince to be ignorant of such a matter was nothing short of humiliating.
"Oh? Even you don't know, Vegeta?" Goku asked in genuine surprise.
Vegeta instinctively stepped back with his arms crossed in front of him, turned his head aside, and muttered through twitching lips: "The God of Saiyans, tch… of course I've heard of it."
"It's Super Saiyan God, Vegeta," Goku corrected with emphasis.
"Hmph! What difference does it make, Kakarot? Super Saiyan God! Exactly what Trunks said."
Trunks could already tell that Vegeta was bluffing, his father had absolutely no clue about this.
So he quickly added: "Goku Ojisan, don't worry. Dad's the Prince of all Saiyans. Of course, he knows these things."
That one sentence gave Vegeta a way out of his embarrassment. Just as they were chatting, something completely unexpected happened.
In the sky above, a familiar scene replayed itself.
A spatial rift had appeared again! From within that tear in space, two figures stepped out.
Zamasu and Black Goku emerged together.
The sight of them instantly fired everyone up. Especially Trunks as his grin nearly split his face in half.
He hadn't even gone looking for him, and yet the guy came straight to him on his own. On the other side, Vegeta instantly recognized the man who looked exactly like Son Goku.
"Hmph! Kakarot, that imposter dares to show his face here again. But who's that guy beside him? He looks just like those Kaiōshin weaklings…" Vegeta turned his head, seeking an answer from Goku.
Yet to his shock, Son Goku had already disappeared from where he stood.
Alert, Vegeta's eyes darted back to the sky where Black Goku hovered, and he cursed loudly: "Damn it! Kakarot!"
Goku had used Instant Transmission to appear directly in front of Black Goku and Zamasu.
"Whoa! You really do look exactly like me!" Goku exclaimed with wide-eyes as he examined Black Goku from head to toe.
Being stared at so intently made Black Goku grit his teeth, an unpleasant feeling of being scrutinized welling up inside him.
"Tch. Worthless human."
The words immediately drew Goku's curiosity. "Oh? You're not human?"
But before the two could continue, a sharp, powerful female voice cut through the sky, interrupting them in an instant.
"Creature of darkness! Go to hell!"
The voice belonged to none other than Bulla. With her fingers interlaced and her hands clasped together, she bent her body and hammered down with a devastating blow aimed straight at Black Goku.
Having transformed into Super Saiyan 4, Bulla unleashed her full power in this strike.
Black Goku instantly recognized the attacker. Just earlier today she had been nothing more than a fragile ant in his eyes.
And now, within only a few hours, she had grown this strong?!
This strike, he absolutely could not take head-on!
In the very next moment, Black Goku transformed into his Rose state. Only when Bulla's fist was barely two centimeters away did he finally succeed in dodging the attack!
Panting heavily, Black Goku was shaken. He never expected it would come to this.
At the same time, another red-aura figure rushed at him from the side.
It was Vegeta.
Without a word, Vegeta bent his elbow and smashed it directly into Black Goku's face.
Pffft---!
Blood sprayed violently from his throat as Black Goku gasped raggedly, lying on the ground looking half-dead.
Zamasu, standing nearby, didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. Now he finally understood what Black Goku had been through today, and fear gripped him.
What was worse was that these terrifying warriors weren't just one or two.
Son Goku had also transformed into Super Saiyan 4, Trunks was steadily pressing forward, and even the strange monster that looked nothing like an Earthling, Super Mini Cell, had joined the fight.
Each of them radiated a power far beyond ordinary, their ki pressing down with overwhelming force.
"Zamasu, I can't believe you actually had the nerve to show up," Trunks said with disdain.
Hearing Trunks' words, Zamasu wore a look of shock and puzzlement, because Trunks was speaking directly to Black Goku. Subconsciously, Zamasu turned to look at him, his eyes asking wordlessly: 'How does he know your true identity?'
"This guy? This imposter is far weaker than Kakarot! Tch, what a disappointment," Vegeta sneered. Just one strike, and Black Goku was already on the verge of collapse.
The next instant, Zamasu, flustered and desperate, used Instant Transmission to Black Goku's side.
Placing his hands on him, he restored Black Goku once again.
After this second near-death revival, Black Goku felt his confidence return.
"Thank you… my other self. Now, I can feel it, my body is about to break through."
This was Black Goku's hidden trump card. He was using his own body as an experiment. In his timeline, no one had ever inflicted such severe damage upon him.
The first near-death experience earlier had already stirred signs of a breakthrough.
With a second, he was certain he could surpass his limits.
And now, he had achieved it.
As his words fell, Black Goku's aura erupted unrestrained. In the next second, his hair extended down to his waist.
The rose-colored energy swept across the heavens and earth. He had transformed into his full-power Rose state, Super Saiyan Rose 3.
