At first, Yuujin thought that he, Gokumi, and the others had accumulated enough foundation, but breaking through to Super Saiyan 3 turned out to be far more difficult than he had imagined.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Even in the original Dragon Ball, only a handful of Saiyans could achieve Super Saiyan 3—just Goku and Gotenks.
Gotenks, being the fusion of Goten and Trunks, relied on Fusion Dance rather than his own training to achieve the form. As for Goku, he had trained in the Otherworld, where he wasn't burdened by physical limitations, making his transformation significantly easier than what Yuujin and the others were experiencing now.
Take Vegeta, for example. Even though he later attained Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, he still never achieved Super Saiyan 3. That alone spoke volumes about the difficulty of the transformation.
"One last attempt. If we still fail, we'll return and train for a few more years," Yuujin declared.
Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu all wore serious expressions.
After failing hundreds of times, they were all disheartened. They had already pushed themselves to their limits. If this final attempt failed, there would be no reason to keep forcing it.
Each of them ate a Senzu Bean to restore their energy. Then, Yuujin, Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu joined hands in a circle while Android 18, Dark Android 18, and Broly stepped back to a safe distance.
Holding Gokumi's and Vegea's hands, Yuujin could feel their tension—his own included.
This was their last chance. Success or nothing!
"Begin!"
At Yuujin's command, he, Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu erupted with energy simultaneously.
Golden auras shot toward the sky, their power constantly rising, continuously surging, pushing their limits to the extreme.
But it still wasn't enough. To break past their boundaries, they had to push even further!
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
They roared to the heavens as their auras expanded explosively.
The very sky trembled, the world darkened, and violent shockwaves burst outward in all directions.
Android 18, Dark Android 18, and Broly had long grown accustomed to such displays. They calmly activated energy shields to block the raging currents.
Even though they had witnessed this scene countless times before, Android 18 and the others couldn't help but feel nervous.
This was Yuujin and the others' final attempt, their last challenge. Would they succeed?
Though they stood still, it felt as if they were engaged in an earth-shattering battle. Their energy flared over and over again, yet every time, it collapsed, unable to break past that invisible barrier—like a city wall of absolute defense, refusing to yield no matter how fiercely they charged.
This intense struggle continued for several minutes. Yuujin and the others had already attempted countless times, their energy running dry, their auras fading.
"It's no use. They're going to fail," Android 18 sighed.
Truthfully, she had wanted to see Yuujin and the others achieve Super Saiyan 3, just as Vekumi had once done. But it seemed today wasn't the day.
Yuujin was well aware of their current condition, and an overwhelming sense of frustration welled up within him.
Was this really their limit? After all the effort they had put in?
Unacceptable. He refused to accept it!
"I don't believe it!!!"
If Vekumi could do it, then so could he!
With a furious roar, Yuujin pushed out the last dregs of his energy.
Crack…!
Somewhere, something seemed to break.
To his own disbelief, this time, he had actually succeeded!
No, not entirely—he hadn't broken through yet. He had only managed to create a few cracks in the unbreakable wall.
But this was enough. Once the cracks appeared, breaking through would only be a matter of time!
A surge of excitement filled Yuujin as he continued to release his energy.
Push, push, push! Break, break, break!
Crack! Crack-crack-crack!
The cracks spread. He could feel it—he was so close to shattering his limits!
However, just as he was about to make the final push, he realized something—he had completely run out of energy.
Damn it! Not now!
His aura plummeted, his body weakened, and his eyes burned with frustration.
He had come this far—was he really going to fail at the very last moment?
No! Absolutely not!
"Energy! Give me energy!"
Like a furious lion, Yuujin roared.
Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu, sensing his urgency, didn't hesitate. They immediately transferred their energy to him.
BOOM!!!
Like a raging flood, the combined energy of Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu surged into Yuujin.
With one final, explosive push, Yuujin shattered his limits.
He had done it!
At that moment, Yuujin's fading aura erupted violently. His depleted energy was instantly restored, surging through every cell in his body.
Energy—he could feel it flowing through him like never before!
But he didn't stop there. Yuujin quickly redirected a portion of his newfound energy to Gokumi and Vegea.
With a muffled gasp, Gokumi, Vegea, and Sharulu's faces flushed as their power skyrocketed.
Fueled by Yuujin's energy, they, too, shattered their limits with ease!
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Their roars shook the heavens, their power soaring madly.
Yuujin and Gokumi's short hair rapidly grew longer, while Vegea's already long hair became even more voluminous and explosive.
As for Sharulu, his body gleamed with blinding light, the black spots on his cyan armor gradually turning golden!
"Could it be…?"
From a distance, Android 18, Dark Android 18, and Broly watched in shock.
But before they could react further, an overwhelming shockwave erupted, far more violent than before—hundreds, no, thousands of times more intense!
"AAAHHH!!!"
Even with their protective barriers, the three were still sent flying, rolling uncontrollably through the air as their shields barely held.
And that wasn't all—the entire planet was shaking violently.
Volcanoes erupted across Mars, monstrous storms raged, and countless lightning bolts cracked through the sky, bombarding the ground mercilessly.
A terrifying sight, as if the end of the world had arrived!
