Baozi Mountain
Talot, Salari, and Raditz played with Kakarot all day long.
Back on Earth, they no longer had to live like they did in the past.
To put it simply, now that they were back, they should take a good rest, balance work with relaxation, and strengthen their relationships at the same time.
It should be said that Goku was really lively and cheerful at this time.
When they met yesterday, Talot was worried that Goku might have become different from how he was originally, seeing how restrained and cautious he seemed.
After spending a day together, Talot finally realized that this was just an instinctive reaction of the body and did not mean that Goku had become timid.
After all, how old was Goku now?
In other words, when a person has someone to rely on, they will subconsciously seek protection when faced with an emergency.
In the original story, Goku lived alone for many years. Because he had no one to rely on, he became braver when facing anything. That courage was the result of his training.

Before long, it was night again.
The night was very quiet. Talot, Gine, Salari, Raditz, Goku, and Son Gohan gathered around the campfire, happily enjoying their dinner.
Everyone was talking and laughing, especially Goku, who was being particularly noisy.
"Hey! The moon is so round today," he exclaimed. Suddenly, everyone froze at his words.
Son Gohan didn't know the reason, but when he saw everyone so tense, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Once they confirmed that the full moon in the sky met the required conditions, they quickly lowered their heads.
"Close your eyes quickly, Kakarot," Gine said, lowering her head and urgently stopping Son Goku from continuing to look at the moon.
But it was too late.
Goku stared at the full moon for only a short while before his pupils turned scarlet. His whole body froze, as if he had lost awareness of himself.
The burst of light waves released by the full moon exceeded 17 million units, and as Goku's body responded, his tail began to resonate and twitch.
The Saiyan blood dormant in Goku's body boiled with excitement.
From his small frame, a clearly audible heartbeat emerged, one that sounded impossibly strong and forceful.
This was the sign of a transformation into a Great Ape!
Talot immediately realized what was happening and felt deeply moved.
He had not expected Kakarot to transform into a Great Ape at this moment.
In the original story, Goku got up to relieve himself, saw the full moon, and transformed into a Great Ape, accidentally trampling Son Gohan to death.
Judging by the current situation, if Talot and the others had not been present, it was possible that Son Gohan might have met the same fate in these past few years.
"It seems inevitable that he would transform into a Great Ape. Everyone, step back. This is a good chance to see if Kakarot can maintain consciousness during his transformation," Talot said to the group, making no move to intervene.
Given his strength, even if Kakarot transformed into a Great Ape, he would not pose any threat.
After all, with Kakarot's combat power of 50, even a tenfold increase would bring it to only 500.
Apart from Son Gohan, even Gine had the absolute strength to counter him.
Over the years, Gine's strength had not declined but had actually improved slightly, reaching a combat power of 2,500.
This was an increase of 1,000 points compared to a few years ago.
It was clear that while Gine had always stayed by Kakarot's side, she continued to train regularly. Without this practice, her strength would have diminished instead of increasing.
It had to be noted that her progress was slower without Talot's guidance, and as a result, she had reached her current level of strength, which could now comfortably surpass the original Raditz at the beginning of the Z era.
"Kakarot has never seen a full moon before, so he has never transformed into a Great Ape. As a low-class warrior, he will definitely lose control the first time he transforms," Gine said worriedly.
"Transform into a Great Ape? Can Saiyans transform just by looking at the moon?" Son Gohan asked in surprise.
The group nodded simultaneously. Concerned about potential accidents, Talot warned Son Gohan, "When Saiyans transform into Great Apes, their power increases significantly. While we can handle it, you should never stray too far from us during such situations."
Son Gohan, understanding the warning, moved closer to the group.
Although old, he wasn't naive. Seeing the transformation unfold, he had already guessed what might happen.
Meanwhile, Salari and Raditz remained calm, with Raditz even showing slight excitement at the prospect of his brother's transformation.
"I'm also a low-class warrior! It took me a lot of effort to control my Great Ape form, and I only managed it with my brother Talot's help. I wonder how Kakarot will handle it," Salari said, recalling her own experiences.
"I doubt Kakarot will manage to control himself," Raditz said. "After all, he's the most ordinary Saiyan, born with the lowest combat power recorded. He's fundamentally different from us."
Despite the years that had passed, Raditz still believed his brother was incapable of any miraculous feats.
Even for Raditz, controlling himself during his first transformation into a Great Ape had been nearly impossible.
"Although Kakarot was born with low combat power, his talent is actually remarkable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have increased his combat power to 50 in just five or six years—a 25-fold improvement!" Talot said, countering Raditz's doubts.
A 25-fold improvement was something none of them had achieved.
For example, Talot and Raditz had combat powers of 200 at birth, and in five years, they had only increased to 1,000 and 500, respectively.
Even though Kakarot's starting point was lower, it didn't mean his potential was.
Even if the level of strength differs, the difficulty of improvement varies greatly, but this fact remains unchanged.
Raditz suddenly realized something, and as he looked at his brother, who was growing larger and larger, he began to ponder deeply.
Under everyone's gaze, Kakarot's transformation into a Great Ape continued...
As his body grew, his clothes were torn apart, and black fur emerged from his pale skin, covering Son Goku's entire body.
In just a few seconds, Son Goku grew into a massive, black-furred ape, dozens of meters tall.
"Aohouhou~~!!!" A roar filled with boundless savagery and destructive power erupted from the Great Ape Son Goku's mouth.
At this moment, the Great Ape Son Goku had completely lost all reason. His eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty red light.
Without consciousness and completely driven by primal instincts, Son Goku could only act according to his physical impulses.
Tyranny and destruction radiated from his aura!
"As expected, he's completely out of control. His combat power has reached 500. The strength increase is the same as ours during Great Ape transformation—tenfold," Salari said, checking the reading on her scouter.
"We should make Kakarot return to normal; otherwise, he'll cause too much destruction here," Gine said, ready to cut off Son Goku's tail.
But before she could act, Raditz stepped forward: "Let me handle it, Mom."
As Raditz approached, the Great Ape Son Goku noticed him and stomped toward him with a massive foot.
"Time to sleep. When there's a chance, I'll help you adapt to the Great Ape transformation. At the very least, you should learn to stay sane during it."
With that, Raditz disappeared in a flash and reappeared behind the Great Ape Son Goku in an instant.
"Bang!!!,"
Raditz struck the back of the Great Ape Goku's neck with a hand chop.
Due to the vast gap in their strength, Raditz used less than one-tenth of his power to knock the rampaging Great Ape Goku unconscious.
Afterward, the group cut off Goku's tail to return him to his original form.
Although they could have waited for the full moon to set, it would have taken too long. Besides, Saiyan tails grow back quickly, so there was no need to worry about future transformations.
As Goku lay unconscious, the group began discussing among themselves.
After listening for a while, Talot fell into deep thought.
Goku's sudden transformation into a Great Ape reminded him of the Saiyan ultimate transformation: Super Saiyan 4.
Although the Super Saiyan 4 transformation was still far beyond his reach, he was sure that focusing on developing the potential of Saiyan blood was the correct path forward.

As the days passed, Salari and Raditz gradually adapted to the ordinary life on Earth after some minor incidents.
After staying in Baozi Mountain for a long time, Talot decided to bring Salari and Raditz to West City to visit Brief, Bulma, and of course, Tights.
It's worth mentioning that over the years, Bulma had grown into a beautiful young lady.
She was no longer the little girl from before and had developed a youthful charm unique to her age. At 16, she had the energy and personality described in the original story, though her appearance still leaned more toward "cute" than "beautiful."
Bulma was upset with Talot and Salari.
When they returned to Earth, they stayed in Baozi Mountain and didn't visit her. This made her angry.
Fortunately, Tights accompanied her, which helped calm her mood. Otherwise, Talot imagined she would have quarreled with Salari.
Despite their occasional confrontations, Salari and Bulma shared a bond. Their video calls over the years revealed they cared deeply for each other.
To appease Bulma, Talot and Salari decided to settle in West City.
Raditz, however, declined to stay, preferring to return to Baozi Mountain with Gine and Kakarot.

And so, life returned to normal. Training and peaceful living became routine.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

On the Moon
Two Talots were engaged in an intense fight.
One was Talot's real body, and the other was a clone he created using an advanced technique.
Fighting against himself was the most effective way for Talot to improve his strength.
The moon was chosen as the battleground for a reason.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Pound!"
The relentless battle of fists and brute force created shockwaves that were devastating and terrifying.
Talot's energy clone possessed combat power nearly equal to his original body. The tremors from their fight shook the moon continuously.
The battle intensified as Talot and his clone clashed all across the lunar surface.
The already cratered moon became even more scarred under the force of their blows.
With one final punch, the two fighters leaped back, creating some distance. Simultaneously, they fired energy beams at each other.
"BOOM~~!!!"
The colliding energy created a massive explosion on the moon.
In an instant, the destructive energy expanded like a torrent, scorching flames erupting across the lunar surface. The entire moon trembled.
As the explosion's flames dissipated, Talot and his clone stared at each other. Just as they were about to clash again, a change occurred.
The moon emitted a strange light, stimulating the cells in Talot's body and causing his Saiyan blood to boil.
Feeling this, Talot stopped fighting and absorbed his clone back into his body.
"I finally feel it. Just as I thought—continuously bathing in the Burtz light waves, even if they don't reach 17 million units, can still stimulate my body," Talot said, gazing at the glowing moon beneath his feet.
This special light was invisible, but as a Saiyan, Talot could sense it.
His tail began to resonate gradually, activating the Saiyan blood in his body as Talot's form started to change.
His body expanded continuously, his appearance transforming dramatically, and thick black fur grew from his pores.
In just a few seconds, Talot shifted from human form into a black Great Ape over 100 meters tall.
"Ahhh~~!!!!!!"
As Talot transformed into a Great Ape, he let out a deafening roar. While sound could not be heard in space, this roar sent shockwaves across the universe.
Soon, Talot suppressed the savage and destructive desires that accompanied his Great Ape transformation.
"I haven't been in the Great Ape state for a long time. This overwhelming power is truly intoxicating. I almost couldn't handle it," Talot said with a grin, feeling the tremendous energy surging through his body. However, the grin on the face of the Great Ape appeared somewhat eerie.
To master the Great Ape's power fully, Talot had trained extensively.
Now, he had complete control over this form.
Determined to explore further, he decided to see if this direction of cultivation could lead to any new breakthroughs.
The Great Ape Talot calmed himself and sat cross-legged on the moon. His wild and restless aura gradually became tranquil.
With his mind at peace, Talot entered his sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness in his Great Ape form was filled with boundless wildness and a desire for destruction.
This was not the first time Talot had ventured into this place.
Initially, he paid little attention to these negative forces.
But now, Talot intended to control and harness these forces, turning them into something beneficial.
This was no simple task—it was a monumental effort.
"If my training direction is correct, then I won't need to transform into a Great Ape to utilize its power," Talot mused as he began the next step of deeply analyzing and mastering his Great Ape energy.
At that moment, countless negative forces surged forward, threatening to overwhelm and assimilate Talot's consciousness.
Despite the assault, Talot remained calm. He embraced these forces fully and entered a state of profound enlightenment.

On the Moon
Time passed slowly.
From an outsider's perspective, Talot's body alternated between Great Ape form and human form repeatedly.
Eventually, he stabilized, reverting to his human form.
However, he remained motionless, his consciousness still immersed in his sea of knowledge.
Suddenly, a bright green light enveloped Talot's still body.
An incredibly terrifying aura exploded from within him.
"BOOM~~!!!!"
The immense and boundless energy caused violent tremors on the moon, while the resulting shockwaves sent ripples through the surrounding space.
Judging by the magnitude alone, Talot's power now reached at least one million combat points!
When Talot's overwhelming aura erupted, Raditz, Salari, Gine, Kami, and Popo on Earth all felt the unparalleled pressure.
---
Baozi Mountain
"This aura… Is that Talot?! How did he become this strong?!" Raditz exclaimed in disbelief, visibly shaken by Talot's energy.
His body trembled under the immense pressure of Talot's power.
The oppressive sensation Talot now exuded even surpassed the fear Raditz had felt when confronted by Frieza on the Death Planet.
Beside him, Gine's face reflected both shock and awe.
"He's grown so powerful without us even realizing it. Talot..." she murmured, unable to comprehend the sheer strength he now possessed.
---
West City
Salari emerged from a gravity chamber, shutting off the 150-times-gravity environment.
She stepped outside and looked toward the sky, her gaze full of concern.
Feeling Talot's energy, Salari was stunned yet uneasy.
Within his aura, she detected traces of wildness and brutality—a telltale sign of the savage instincts that accompanied the Great Ape transformation.
---
The Lookout
Kami's aged face was drenched in cold sweat.
He was so overwhelmed by the sheer scale of Talot's power that he struggled to form coherent words.
Beside him, Popo displayed a similar expression of shock.
"This strength... It's beyond anything we could have imagined," Kami finally managed to say, his voice trembling.
The magnitude of Talot's power now completely defied their understanding.
