Power levels above 100,000 in base form.
From what he knew, only Ginyu and Frieza in the Frieza Force had reached that level.
"Think whatever you like."
"But to be honest, this battle has dragged on for too long. It's time to wrap it up."
"Are you interested in joining, Piccolo?"
Lin Chuan asked, glancing at Piccolo beside him.
Piccolo now possessed formidable strength, deep and immeasurable. Although not quite at the level of his fusion with Nail in the original story, he had a power level of 450,000.
At least, he wouldn't lose to Frieza's first form.
"When they first arrived, I had a sliver of hope for the Saiyans' strength. If this were a year ago, I'd have been eager to fight. But now, I have no interest."
"Besides, this is Goku's battle. I won't rescue him."
Piccolo stated clearly.
First, Vegeta was too weak to pique his interest. Second, Goku was his rival!
And now he was expected to rescue Goku? What a joke.
[Are they discussing who should handle Vegeta? Damn it! How could that Namekian's power level increase so much in just one year?!]
[But… Turles doesn't seem to be joking!]
Raditz was startled by Turles' question.
Could it be that in this year, the Namekian had encountered some incredible opportunity?
The transformation was enormous. Piccolo, who he could easily defeat with one hand a year ago, now had the power to crush Great Ape Vegeta…
It felt like a dream, like a fantasy.
"Let me do it! I'll defeat that Great Ape Vegeta." At that moment, Gohan's youthful voice rang out.
He volunteered to help his dad defeat Vegeta.
He originally didn't want to reveal his power, fearing it would upset his father.
But now he had no choice.
"Huh? It's rare to see you so eager. Since you've decided, Vegeta is all yours, Gohan. Show him your power," Lin Chuan said, smiling at Gohan.
"If you want to go, then go. It'll be good for Goku to see the power of his son."
"I'm looking forward to seeing Goku's reaction when he finds out his son is stronger than him. It'll be priceless."
Piccolo imagined the scene.
Goku watches his son pummel Great Ape Vegeta, completely bewildered.
"Alright, I'm off, Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Lin Chuan." Gohan nodded seriously and flew towards the battlefield.
Krillin and Raditz were left stunned in the wind.
It wasn't until Gohan flew away that they snapped out of it.
"Are you serious?! Letting Gohan go alone to help Goku against that monster?!" Krillin was dumbfounded, unable to believe Lin Chuan would send Gohan to face Vegeta.
He was just a kid! How could he have such power? This was sending Gohan to his death.
"Does my nephew really have such power?" Raditz was starting to believe Lin Chuan.
When he first arrived on Earth, he noticed Gohan.
Initially, he was curious about his nephew's potential, but he found he couldn't see through him.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, but thinking about it… something was off!
And Lin Chuan had no reason to lie. A year ago, he personally experienced Gohan's terrifying power.
Though it was just one attack, it almost killed him.
He had some thoughts but felt unwilling.
If Gohan gained such power in just a year with Lin Chuan, then his and Kakarot's effort on Snake Way and training with King Kai to reach a power level of over 10,000 was a joke?
"You'll see soon enough. Since we're watching, let's get closer. It's too far here; it's boring." Lin Chuan said, then flew off like a cannonball toward the battlefield.
Piccolo said nothing, simply flying off in a burst of energy, following Lin Chuan closely.
"Damn it!! Even if Gohan's potential is limitless, this is too risky."
"No way! I need to go and watch to prevent any accidents."
Krillin gritted his teeth, not believing Lin Chuan's words, and disappeared in a burst of energy.
At this point, he forgot his comrades were still unconscious.
"Hope this isn't real…" Raditz had an inkling but could only pray Lin Chuan was joking.
Otherwise, his year of training would seem worthless compared to Gohan.
...
On the main battlefield.
**Boom!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!!!…** The sound of rocks shattering echoed continuously.
Half of the battlefield was filled with thick smoke and flying rubble.
Great Ape Vegeta was relentlessly unleashing his destructive power.
Despite his massive size, he moved with incredible speed, and each move contained terrifying destructive power.
Goku could only avoid the onslaught, using the Kaio-ken x3 to dodge Vegeta's attacks.
However, the Kaio-ken x3 put a tremendous strain on his body, and he could only use it for brief moments to dodge.
If hit even once, he'd be seriously injured or worse.
Hiding behind a rock pillar in the thick smoke, Goku tried to stay out of Vegeta's sight.
"Kakarot, do you feel powerless and terrified now?"
"This is what happens when you go against me. All Saiyan traitors will be executed."
"Pray I don't catch you. If I do, I'll make you wish for death."
Great Ape Vegeta laughed maniacally.
Goku was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected Vegeta to be so strong in his Great Ape form, making his attacks ineffective.
[He's too strong now. Even a full-power Kamehameha might not hurt him.]
[I can't beat him… What should I do?!]
Goku realized Vegeta's strength was beyond him.
The gigantic figure moved forward, each step causing the ground to quake.
Vegeta's keen senses quickly located Goku hiding behind the rock.
A giant hand swung down.
**Bang!!!!** The rock pillar shattered under Vegeta's force, and Goku was sent flying dozens of meters by the shockwave.
"Damn!" Goku stabilized himself, watching Vegeta approach and instinctively trying to flee.
But Vegeta was faster.
Two enormous hands broke through the air, grabbing Goku like a small bird in their grasp.
**Crack Crack!!**
With Vegeta's hands squeezing, Goku's bones began to crack.
"Ahhh!!!!" Goku screamed in agony from the excruciating pain.
"Hahaha, scream! Keep screaming! I won't let you die easily, Kakarot!!" Vegeta enjoyed Goku's screams.
