Super Saiyan IV Trunks

Shin also hurried forward to say hello.

"I have some matters to discuss with Kaiōshin-sama," Goten replied with a smile.

"Your strength has become so strong now. If I'm not mistaken, your current strength should soon catch up with Beerus-sama, right? Is there anything you need my help with?" The Old Kai rolled his eyes at Goten and then said angrily.

This guy was just a mortal. At such a young age, he already possessed combat power comparable to Hakaishin. This was something that had almost never happened in the entire seventh universe or even in all universes! He was like a monstrous existence! And now, considering Goten's strength, was there anything he could help him with?

"Of course!" Goten continued. "Kaiōshin-sama helped me develop my potential last time, and it really benefited me a lot! Without you helping me develop my potential, I wouldn't have such strong combat power now. So this time, I want to ask you to help Trunks develop his potential."

"You are also very aware that Zeno-sama will hold a competition between the twelve universes soon. If we lose the competition, I think he is very likely to erase all the universes that lost. So helping Trunks develop his potential is actually helping our seventh universe," Goten explained without haste.

After hearing this, the Old Kai's expression obviously changed. He had lived for a very long time, so he naturally knew Zeno's style of doing things. He did things more brazenly than Beerus and the others. In fact, what Goten said is absolutely correct; if they lose in the competition held by Zeno, then there is indeed a risk of being destroyed. After thinking for a while, he nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll help him develop his potential! However, to what extent he can improve depends on his own talent." He naturally hoped that the strength of Trunks could become stronger. Perhaps in this way, they could achieve excellent results in the competition held by Zeno.

"Thank you, Kaiōshin-sama." Trunks also clasped his fists to express his thanks.

Then, under the arrangement of the Old Kai, Trunks sat cross-legged on the ground and Old Kai began to develop his potential.

...

In this way, time went by day by day. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. The development of Trunks' potential was also completed.

"Okay, it's over, Trunks. You can check out the power you have now," Old Kai spoke to Trunks. At this time, he still looked energetic, completely different from the last time he helped Goten develop his potential.

This showed that this time, helping Trunks develop his potential did not consume too much energy. It seemed like the potential of Trunks was actually not as good as that of Goten. After all, it only took him three days to develop his potential!

"Okay, all right," Trunks nodded immediately. Then he stood up and clenched his fists. A vast force burst out from his body in an instant. He didn't turn into the form of Super Saiyan, but the strength was already ridiculously strong.

The moment the ki erupted, terrifying air waves spread directly in all directions. Shin and Kibito quickly put their arms in front of their faces. But that powerful air wave still pushed the two of them a distance of several tens of feet. Goten stood in front of the Old Kai, so the two of them were unaffected.

"Hah!!"

Trunks roared again, and the aura in his body showed an explosive increase again. The air waves under his feet spread in all directions. The ground began to tremble violently. His momentum was stronger than when he turned into Super Saiyan II.

"Wow... what a powerful force. Is this my power after developing my potential? It's incredible!" After raising his ki, Trunks felt the strength in his body, and his face showed uncontrollable excitement.

Although he knew that after developing his potential, his strength would definitely increase! But it was beyond his expectation to be elevated to such a powerful level. This feeling was stronger than when he turned into Super Saiyan II. If he became Super Saiyan II on this base power, it was hard to imagine how strong he would be.

After getting a good feel of the power he had right now, Trunks quickly withdrew his ki. After all, he would be embarrassed if he messed up the God Realm too much.

After taking back his ki, Trunks quickly found Goten and the Old Kai. Afterwards, he said with great excitement, "Thank you, Kaiōshin-sama, I can feel that my power has advanced vastly! I never thought I could reach this level of strength without becoming a Super Saiyan."

Looking at the extremely excited Trunks, the Old Kai said lightly, "You don't have to be so excited. Although your potential is good, there is a world of difference between you and Goten."

There was no comparison between them! Both of them were Saiyans of mixed blood, but their strength and talent were vastly different.

"Haha, I know. I am very satisfied to become so strong." Trunks didn't pay much attention to Old Kai's words. Because he never thought of surpassing Goten from the beginning to the end. Because in his mind, that was impossible.

"Okay, Trunks, your base strength has become very strong now! If nothing else, I think you are now fully qualified to become Super Saiyan IV!" Goten patted Trunks on the shoulder and then spoke seriously.

The purpose of letting their tails grow out before was to be able to become Super Saiyan IV. This is also the plan he told Trunks before to make him stronger.

If a Saiyan wanted to become stronger, there were actually two paths he could choose. One was just like Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super: let your own realm improve and become Super Saiyan God. The other was to rely on bloodline like Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball GT: let the tail grow back and become a Super Saiyan IV.

In fact, which of these two forms was stronger, many people had different opinions, and there was no accurate answer. Because the increase of Super Saiyan IV and Super Saiyan God was not clearly stated in the canon.

Of course, it didn't matter whether it was Super Saiyan IV or Super Saiyan God; all were increases on top of the basic combat power. If the basic combat power was too weak, it would not be of much use if one becomes Super Saiyan IV or Super Saiyan God. The reason why he chose Super Saiyan IV this time was because it was easier and had a higher chance of success.

"What... what? Super Saiyan IV? What kind of form is that? I've never heard of it before," Trunks was surprised after hearing Goten's words. He had never heard of the transformation of Super Saiyan IV before. His current strength had only reached Super Saiyan II. Moreover, this form had lasted for a long time, and he had never been able to continue to break through. Now Goten actually wanted to help him break through to Super Saiyan IV? It was too shocking to him, too unbelievable!

"Super Saiyan IV?" Shin and Kibito also looked puzzled. Obviously, they had never heard of this form. Only the Old Kai frowned slightly, as if he knew something. But he didn't speak.

[T/N: Dunno why, but this is foreshadowed in DB GT, that Old Kai knows something about this form.]

"It's normal that you haven't heard of the Super Saiyan IV form. I also got to know about this form by accident. And it just so happens that I know the transformation method of this form," Goten could only reply perfunctorily. The Old Kai secretly glanced at Goten. Apparently, he thought that Goten knew too much. He was nothing like a ten-year-old kid at all.

"So... what do I need to do? I can accept anything as long as it makes me stronger!" Trunks said firmly. Although he didn't know what Super Saiyan IV was like, what was certain was that if he could succeed, his strength would definitely improve qualitatively! Super Saiyan II was already so powerful. As for Super Saiyan IV, after directly surpassing Super Saiyan III, he could only speculate about how strong it was.

"It's actually really easy. Wait a while, and I will create a mass of energy. You just need to look at this energy. Then you would turn into the form of a Great Ape and then try to retain your consciousness as much as possible. However, after all, the blood of the Saiyan royal family flows in your body; maybe you will not lose your mind after becoming a Great Ape," Goten said with a smile. Because at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta once said that with the blood of royalty flowing in his body, he would not lose his sanity because of his transformation into a Great Ape.

"Okay!!" Trunks immediately nodded firmly! There was still some expectation in his heart. At this stage, he had never been transformed into a Great Ape. But he heard Gohan talk about this before. A Saiyan who had not had its tail pulled out can turn into a Great Ape when the moon is full.

"You two brats don't destroy my God Realm," Old Kai could only speak helplessly from the sidelines. After becoming a Great Ape, a Saiyan's destructive power was quite fierce. Especially Goten and Trunks with their strong strength.

"Ready, Trunks?" Goten asked seriously.

"Well, go ahead, Goten! No matter what happens, I will be able to persevere!" Trunks also nodded firmly. At this time, a silver-white energy group also condensed in the palm of Goten. Like a clear lake under the sun, it was sparkling. Then Goten threw the energy ball into the air.

He didn't look at the energy ball after launching it in the air. If both of them became Great Ape at the same time and they couldn't control their sanity, then the entire God Realm would definitely be destroyed. Even for the entire universe, it would be a catastrophe.

So he was going to let Trunks complete the transformation of Super Saiyan IV first. When the time came to see the effect, then he would decide whether he wanted to transform or not. After all, his own power was a bit too strong; once out of control, no one would be able to stop him. Even if Beerus came, he might not be able to contain him. This was an extremely dangerous thing.

Afterwards, Trunks immediately raised his head to look at the mass of silver energy. Under the sunlight, the energy cluster exuded a dazzling light. Trunks just stared straight at them.

After staring at it for a few seconds, his whole expression suddenly froze. He seemed to be half-attracted by something. Immediately after that, he clenched his fists violently. At this moment, new red cracks appeared in his eyes.

In a short while, both eyes had become completely red, glowing with red light. Just like a demon coming out of hell. Trunks immediately grinned, his face full of ferocity.

Thump, Thump, Thump...

The sound of the heartbeat could be heard, and his chest was violently heaving. With the sound of Trunks' heartbeat, everyone held their breath. They seemed to be looking forward to the next magical thing to happen.

Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump!

The sound of the heartbeat became faster and faster, and the heaving of the chest became more and more violent. Trunks seemed to be losing control of his emotions.

"Oh oh oh..." Accompanied by a strange sound in his throat.

Chrrk!!

The clothes on Trunks were instantly torn, and his body began to swell at this moment. It was immediately covered in black hairs...

"This transformation, why does it feel like the legendary werewolf?" Kibito murmured softly. It was similar to how the legendary werewolf transformed after the full moon.

"Hopefully, after Trunks transforms, he won't lose his mind," Shin also said in a low voice. Almost after a moment, Trunks had become the size of a small mountain. Completely turned into the form of a Great Ape. There was a fierce red light in his eyes.

"He's lost his rationality... is he out of control?" Looking at Trunks at this time, Shin and Kibito all looked worried. It seemed that Trunks in this state had completely lost consciousness. It was not a good sign!

"Hey, Trunks, keep your rationality in check. You are the son of Saiyan Prince Vegeta, you possess a bloodline of the royals! It should be perfectly possible for you to remain sane in this form." Looking at Trunks with red eyes, Goten said lightly. If Trunks couldn't keep his sanity in this state, it would be impossible for him to become Super Saiyan in Great Ape state. In the end, he would only be forced to knock him out.

After hearing the voice of Goten, Trunks' body jerked around. The originally hideous expression seemed to calm down in an instant.

"I... I am Trunks!" Trunks murmured to himself. Obviously, his sanity began to recover. The scarlet light in his eyes also began to recede bit by bit. Just a few seconds later, the red light in his eyes had completely disappeared. It was clear that Trunks had regained control of his sanity and regained full consciousness. Goten also had a smile on his face. It looked like it was about to succeed.

If he wanted to become Super Saiyan IV, the most difficult thing was to control his own sanity while becoming a Great Ape But for them, who had the blood of the Saiyan royal family, it seemed that it was not difficult. It might be a bit difficult for the inferior Saiyan.

"Goten, what should I do next?" After fully regaining consciousness, the Great Ape Trunks looked at Goten and asked.

"Now start bursting with energy and transform into Super Saiyan form," Goten spoke up.

"Okay." Trunks nodded. Then began to rapidly increase his energy. In an instant, bunches of golden halos lingered around his body. In a moment, the golden halo completely wrapped Trunks' body! And at that moment, Goten also felt that the ki of Trunks began to rise rapidly.

"It looks like it succeeded..." After feeling the rising aura of Trunks, a smile appeared on the corner of Goten's mouth.
