The power of his bloodline burned fiercely, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku instantly entered aura eruption state, his whole body holding nothing back as he began another close combat with Talot.
This time, his fighting style had changed drastically compared to before. His attack speed was both fast and ruthless, completely lacking any trace of the Turtle School fighting style. Instead, it was a special combat state entered solely through bodily instinct.
This kind of offensive made Talot’s eyes light up.
These movements and fighting methods of Super Saiyan 4 Goku made him see the possibility of Ultra Instinct.
But it only resembled it. This was not Ultra Instinct, but rather a state of selflessness displayed after one’s own battle instincts had been developed to its utmost limit.
In this state, Goku’s perception and reaction would be amplified to their limits, and every attack would become sharper and more decisive than before.
This state was powerful, but it was still not enough to do anything to Talot.
Talot vanished from where he stood with Instant Transmission, directly disrupting Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s battle rhythm.
“Where did he go?” Super Saiyan 4 Goku was shocked at the sight, raising his guard and devoting all his focus to defense.
But all of a sudden, a streak of light so fast that neither the naked eye nor Ki Sense could react in time appeared before him with lightning speed.
‘Bang~!!!!’ Talot’s fierce punch landed squarely on Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s face.
Talot’s extremely formidable power instantly sent Super Saiyan 4 Goku flying hundreds of meters away.
The instant Super Saiyan 4 Goku was sent flying backward, Talot pressed his advantage, slipping into space and, in the next moment, arriving ahead of time at the place Super Saiyan 4 Goku was about to reach. He kicked upward, sending Super Saiyan 4 Goku high into the sky, then raised his hand and condensed a powerful energy beam, firing it toward Super Saiyan 4 Goku.
[So fast. There’s no time to react at all… Damn it!!] Super Saiyan 4 Goku gritted his teeth, forcibly seized back control of his body, and brought out his trump card.
“Kaio-ken!!!” With a loud shout, blood-red energy erupted around Super Saiyan 4 Goku, his power and speed undergoing a quantitative increase, and he narrowly avoided the bombardment of Talot’s energy beam.
“Oh? Kaio-ken?!” Talot’s eyes lit up when he saw Super Saiyan 4 Goku use Kaio-ken.
He had not expected that this world’s Super Saiyan 4 Goku could already apply the Kaio-ken technique to Super Saiyan 4.
……
Outside the battlefield.
When Vegeta saw Kakarot use the technique known as Kaio-ken, he could no longer stay calm.
The Kaio-ken technique was full of bitter memories for him. Back when he first came to Earth, it was because of Kaio-ken that he repeatedly suffered setbacks at Kakarot’s hands and took a savage beating.
But ever since they had both mastered the Super Saiyan transformation, the Kaio-ken technique had faded from view.
Because the immense burden produced by adding Kaio-ken after transforming into a Super Saiyan exceeded the limits that the body could endure.
“Damn it!! Has that b*stard Kakarot gotten ahead of me again?” Vegeta clenched his fists unwillingly.
He, who knew full well how powerful Kaio-ken was, had already guessed why Kakarot had chosen to use Kaio-ken in the state of Super Saiyan 4.
Super Saiyan 4 could fully draw out a Saiyan’s bloodline power, causing the strength of the physical body to rise to another level. A stronger physique and the ability to manipulate power freely were the key to perfectly making good use of Kaio-ken.
With Super Saiyan 4 Kakarot’s current physical strength, it was entirely possible that he could unleash the highest multiplier of Kaio-ken.
Vegeta had thought that he had finally caught up to Super Saiyan 4 Kakarot with great difficulty. Who could have imagined that this b*stard would immediately turn around and surpass him?
……
On the battlefield.
Talot and Super Saiyan 4 Goku slowly descended from the sky.
The two met each other’s eyes, and Talot looked over the Super Saiyan 4 Goku before him with great interest.
To be honest, Goku stacking Kaio-ken on top of his Super Saiyan 4 state really did have pretty decent strength.
Just Kaio-ken in its ordinary state alone could already unleash the early Ninth Dimension power.
“You’ve finally brought me some unexpected surprises. But what multiplier of Kaio-ken can your current body withstand?” Talot watched Super Saiyan 4 Goku for a moment, then spoke again to confirm.
“Heheh~ Although I haven’t specifically tried it yet, with my current physical strength, withstanding 20x Kaio-ken shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that this state that surpasses the limit consumes a tremendous amount of energy, and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to maintain battle in this limit state for long,” Super Saiyan 4 Goku replied.
“You can’t maintain it for long? Fine, then let’s decide the outcome in one move.” Talot signaled for Super Saiyan 4 Goku to bring out his full power and let him see it.
Super Saiyan 4 stacked with 20x Kaio-ken would definitely have no problem impacting the Ninth Dimension. He just did not know whether this strength was stronger or weaker compared to Majin Omega Shenron.
“Then I’ll… respectfully obey…!!” Super Saiyan 4 Goku took a deep breath, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.
In the next second, Super Saiyan 4 Goku clenched both fists tightly, the muscles of his entire body tensing, and his facial features also became ferocious.
‘Hualala~~!!’ Surging blood energy began to burn fiercely around his body.
As the multiplier of Kaio-ken continued to increase, the aura erupting from Super Saiyan 4 Goku transformed into a destructive storm that shredded all things in the world, expanding in all directions.
His power level also officially broke through from the Eighth Dimension into the level of the Ninth Dimension, and it was still continuously increasing.
Talot felt this powerful aura storm rushing toward him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
“Now that’s more like it.” Talot put in a bit of spirit.
Judging through Ki Sense, the power Super Saiyan 4 Goku was now unleashing under the boost of Kaio-ken was already close to being comparable to his Super Saiyan 2 • Divine Enhanced State.
Vegeta, outside the battlefield, endured the baptism of this aura storm rushing toward him, and his expression instantly became incomparably ugly.
The intensity of this Ki had already far surpassed his current self. The two simply could not be compared.
“20x!! Kaio-ken!!” A fierce and horrifying roar erupted from Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s mouth.
In an instant, overwhelming energy swept out in every direction.
The incomparably powerful aura tore apart the earth and distorted space, causing all things in the world to tremble.
“This power… isn’t bad. Although it’s not as strong as Omega Shenron in his demonized state, it’s not that far off either. You’ve broken through again.” Talot gave an extremely high evaluation of Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s strength.
Second only to Majin Omega Shenron!
The eruption of the 20x Kaio-ken had already stabilized. Super Saiyan 4 Goku inhaled deeply, emptied his mind, and cast aside all distracting thoughts in his head.
He brought his hands together and placed them at his waist, energy gathering in the palms of his hands.
A chilling red light flashed through his eyes, locking onto Talot not far ahead.
As he executed his finishing move, Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s aura swelled once more, his powerful strength sprinting toward an even higher level.
As the energy gathered, space surged, the atmosphere shook, storms raged through heaven and earth, and the entire world changed color.
Although something like aura was not as powerful as God Ki, a powerful aura trained to its absolute limit might not necessarily unleash power inferior to God Ki!
The deep crimson light condensed in Goku’s hands visibly swelled by a large circle, then stabilized again and settled down.
The embryonic form of the finishing move had already stabilized.
“20x Kame——hame——ha!!!” A loud shout erupted from Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s mouth. He thrust both hands forward, locking onto Talot’s position.
‘Rumble~~!!!!!’ A deafening rumble suddenly exploded.
A deep crimson energy beam, enough to destroy the world, carried ultimate destructive power capable of overturning all things as it blasted toward Talot.
The terrifying destructive power of this technique was completely capable of killing Omega Shenron.
“Spiraling Energy Beam!!!” Talot condensed his own finishing move at the fastest speed.
In an instant, a golden pillar of energy light roaring like a mad dragon howled as it tore through space, crashing straight into Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s oncoming 20x Kamehameha.
Both sides’ finishing moves each possessed destructive power capable of destroying the entire universe.
‘Rumble~~!!!!!’ A thunderous explosion resounded throughout heaven and earth.
The collision of the two finishing moves erupted with a light of destruction that devoured all things in the world.
The terrifying destructive power caused space to collapse, directly affecting the entire Earth!
It was not only Earth that was affected by this power; even the universe trembled because of it.
