NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 18: Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Stay Calm and Peaceful
Saigo's hair, naturally spiky and upright, lacked bangs and resembled the hairstyles of Vegeta and his son. However, Saigo's hair differed slightly, exposing less of his forehead, being shorter, and shaped like flames, with each tuft more compact and controlled.
"Success!"
"So, becoming a Super Saiyan isn't that hard! Thanks, System Daddy!"
Saigo felt the surging, boundless power coursing through his body, accompanied by a faint, uncontrollable urge to fight someone.
Even seeing the gravity chamber in the distance sparked an impulse to destroy it with a Ki blast.
"So, this is the Super Saiyan form? Truly exhilarating! My entire body is filled with an overwhelming desire to destroy and an inexplicable sense of anger—my blood is boiling and leaping with excitement!"
"As expected of a warrior race! This is absolutely fitting!"
After marveling at this new form, Saigo returned to his normal state. However, something felt off as soon as he reverted. "Hmm? Is the Super Saiyan transformation this overwhelming? Even after reverting, this thrill and anger still linger!"
It took a few breaths for him to regain his composure.
"No wonder Goku often said maintaining clarity in this form was challenging. These negative emotions are amplified dozens of times—it's no surprise that ordinary people might lose their minds!"
"And Broly… No wonder he loses control so easily when enraged. If regular Saiyans feel such destructive impulses as Super Saiyans, what about the Legendary Super Saiyan?"
"Does that mean Broly has to be killed? No way! He's the pride of the Saiyans! I must find a way to strengthen Broly's mental fortitude! I'll simulate later and see if a solution can be found…"
As Saigo pondered ways to help Broly enhance his mental strength, Planet Vegeta was in an uproar.
All active scouters exploded and malfunctioned the moment Saigo ceased suppressing his Ki, leaving many clueless Saiyans on high alert.
"What's going on? Could there be an enemy with a power level over 20,000 on Planet Vegeta?"
"Did your scouter blow up too? Who is this person?"
"A power level over 20,000? Could it be someone from Frieza's forces?"
"Frieza's forces? Captain, we should report this immediately!"
"Calm down! All our Saiyan scouters have the same detection limit. I'm sure King Vegeta has already received the information—there's no need for us to worry!"
…
Similar scenes unfolded across various Saiyan settlements on Planet Vegeta, particularly among those without access to classified intelligence.
However, the 20 elite warriors who had undergone Saigo's secret training knew exactly what had happened!
These elite warriors, each leading a team of high-power Saiyan squads, were actively rooting out Frieza's planted spies.
King Vegeta III's Temporary Squad
"King Vegeta! A target with a power level exceeding 20,000 has appeared. Could it be someone from Frieza's forces? Should we organize a strike?" one warrior suggested in terror, his voice trembling.
King Vegeta III sensed the massive Ki, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. However, the energy felt familiar. Upon closer sensing, he became ecstatic and exclaimed, "Warriors, there's no need to fear! The one with a power level exceeding 20,000 is one of ours—our future king, King Saigo!"
"In truth, I abdicated some time ago. However, to deal with Frieza, I had to keep it a secret!"
"Warriors, our new king—King Saigo—has now become a Super Saiyan. From now on, we no longer have to fear Frieza or bow to his whims!"
"Warriors, onward! For freedom, let's crush those rats planted by Frieza!"
Inwardly, Vegeta III was even more exhilarated: My god! King Saigo's energy is too powerful! Is this the aura of a Super Saiyan? It's utterly suffocating!
I, Vegeta III, will also become a Super Saiyan!
I must follow in King Saigo's footsteps!
I must!
The shocking revelation left Vegeta III's temporary squad members dumbfounded, frozen for several seconds.
"King Vegeta, is… is what you said true?" one Saiyan hesitantly asked, his legs trembling and his gaze evasive, betraying his fear and doubt.
Normally, such questioning would have been met with swift punishment, with the offender soon facing King Yemma.
As he spoke, the other Saiyans instinctively distanced themselves, casting him pitying and fearful glances.
However, contrary to their expectations, Vegeta III laughed heartily. "Haha~ From today onward, you no longer need to address me as King Vegeta.
"For I am no longer the king of the Saiyans. From now on, there is only one King of Saiyans—King Saigo!
"You may call me Vegeta III or Captain Vegeta!"
His face bore no trace of pretense, only genuine excitement and admiration.
Inwardly, he cheered: This is incredible! King Saigo's aura is unimaginably powerful—he must be a Super Saiyan!
Such a terrifying energy…
It's awe-inspiring!
Though Vegeta III's squad members heard his words, they couldn't believe them. They remained skeptical, unsure of what game he was playing.
Noticing their doubt, Vegeta III bitterly smiled. It seems I've only instilled fear in my people over the years. They don't trust me at all!
Suppressing his emotions, he adopted a stern tone and said, "What's wrong? Are you all afraid to call me by name or as captain?"
The moment he grew serious, the group felt relieved. Now this feels like the King Vegeta we know!
Comforted by his demeanor, they quickly responded in unison, "No, no! We wouldn't dare!"
Vegeta III clenched his fists in frustration. Seeing this, the squad immediately tensed, leaning back as if preparing to flee at any moment.
Suppressing his anger, Vegeta III recalled Saigo's teachings: to become a Super Saiyan, one needed a sufficient number of S-Cells.
The key to increasing S-Cells was a gentle temperament. The more peaceful and stable the personality, the faster the S-Cells grew, making the transformation easier.
With this in mind, Vegeta III took deep breaths, calming his fury. He forced a smile and said, "Enough talk! Let's complete the mission King Saigo assigned to us. Afterward, we'll all greet our new king together!"
"Let's move out!"
Leading the charge, Vegeta III marched ahead. His team members exchanged uncertain glances before reluctantly following, filled with doubts.
As he led, Vegeta III constantly reminded himself: I must not get angry.
I must stay calm and peaceful.
I will become a Super Saiyan!
Stay calm…
Stay peaceful…
Later, this day was humorously dubbed "The Old King's Awakening" by Saiyans.
The reactions among Vegeta III's squad were mirrored across other teams led by the 19 elite warriors. Some even threatened to report their leaders to King Vegeta for punishment.
Yet, the elite warriors remained composed, welcoming the reports with indifference, confident that time would reveal the truth.
