Meeting Aira's expectant gaze, Rhode shook his head with a smile: "No, Super Saiyan 4 is different from Super Saiyan stages one, two, and three. Currently, my power increase speed has not slowed down."
"Is that so?!" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira was both happy and worried. The happiness came from Super Saiyan 4's vastly increased potential, no longer constrained by limits. The worry, however, was that she had now reached the Super Saiyan 3's limit, her improvement had slowed, while Rhode was still rapidly improving. This way, the gap between them would only grow wider!
"Don't worry, Super Saiyan 4 is just one breakthrough direction. There's another direction that's also possible, and to a certain extent, even simpler. After we go out, we'll find a chance to try it!" Comforting Aira, Rhode then told her about the energy evolution path of Super Saiyan God, especially detailing the trick of using the ki transmission from benevolent Saiyans to achieve a breakthrough to Super Saiyan God.
"It can be done like that?" Hearing Rhode's description, Aira's face immediately filled with disbelief. According to Rhode's description, the power of Super Saiyan God was even stronger than Super Saiyan 4, yet the method of breakthrough was surprisingly so simple!
Hmm? That's not right! Aira initially thought that the trick to breaking through to Super Saiyan God was simple, but then she immediately realized something was off. Benevolent Saiyans? And five of them? On Earth right now, there were the two of them, plus Gine's family, which made a total of six Saiyans. But if they were talking about benevolent Saiyans… Hmm, Kakarot, that little guy, could be counted as one. Rhode could also be counted as one. As for herself, she could probably be considered. Gine could also barely be counted. As for Bardock and Raditz, they might be in the distant future, but currently, they clearly couldn't be considered benevolent Saiyans. Counting it this way, even adding herself and Gine as fillers, they only had four at most. Moreover, among the four, Kakarot and Gine were still very weak. Not only that, among the four, only Kakarot was truly benevolent and fully qualified. Rhode, herself, and Gine were all questionable. Thinking about it this way, it seemed this tricky method wasn't much easier than breaking through to Super Saiyan 4.
"Forget it, you should just demonstrate the Super Saiyan 4 transformation a few more times for me. Maybe I'll suddenly be able to break through!" She didn't dwell on Super Saiyan God, as it was temporarily out of reach and unseen, while the Rhode in front of her was a tangible reality.
"No problem!" Faced with Aira's request, Rhode naturally wouldn't refuse. Subsequently, he began to constantly demonstrate the Super Saiyan 4 transformation process for Aira. However, when Aira tried to transform, she got stuck at the stage of transforming into a Golden Great Ape, ending in failure.
"It seems I can't break through for now!" After repeatedly observing Rhode's Super Saiyan 4 transformation process and failing multiple times, Aira sighed helplessly and temporarily gave up. However, even though she failed to transform into Super Saiyan 4, she only felt regret and not too much frustration. After all, she had only recently reached the peak of Super Saiyan 3, so directly transforming into Super Saiyan 4 was not that easy to achieve.
"It's alright, Super Saiyan 4 is indeed a bit difficult, but we can use a trick to achieve the Super Saiyan God breakthrough!" Seeing Aira's somewhat dejected expression, Rhode couldn't help but comfort her, "Also, although we do spar, it's not a life-and-death battle. There's nothing much happening on Earth right now, so we could go out and explore!"
"Go out and explore?" Hearing Rhode say that, Aira was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of other universes. She had heard Rhode say before that there were many strong individuals in other universes. However, as soon as this thought arose, she remembered Rhode's previous sentence and realized something, furrowing her brow: "Are you planning to go to other worlds?"
"I do have that idea!" Facing Aira's words, Rhode frankly admitted: "My understanding of time-space power had already made a breakthrough before, and I can now actively search for worlds I want to go to. Not only that, even if I am in a different world, I can still sense the main world somewhat, so the previous situation won't happen again!" At this point, seeing Aira remain silent, Rhode immediately smiled and reached out to pinch her face: "Don't be so unhappy, I plan to go with you this time, what do you think?"
"Don't pinch my face!" Pinching her face, Aira unhappily swatted his hand away, but hearing the latter half of his sentence, the gloom on her face finally dissipated: "That's more like it!" However, as she spoke, Aira subconsciously touched her face, feeling a sense of familiar déjà vu.
With this feeling, she immediately stared at Rhode and questioned him: "Did you pinch my face like this before?"
"No, I don't think so!" Faced with Aira's sudden question, Rhode replied with a blank expression. However, he then suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he was researching that semi-finished time machine, in order to explore the range of time-stop, he encountered Aira along the way, found it amusing, and indeed pinched her face. Right, that was the first time Aira went shopping with Mrs. Brief and Little Bulma. However, so much time had passed that even if he remembered, he would have forgotten, let alone Aira was in a time-stopped state at the time and wasn't conscious.
"You're lying!" At this moment, Aira, who had been looking at Rhode's clueless expression, initially thought it was her own illusion, but then she noticed a change in Rhode's expression, and his gaze was somewhat evasive and suspicious.
"Cough, cough, it did happen, the first time you went shopping, when I was testing the time-stop range." With Aira exposing his thoughts, Rhode simply admitted it.
"The first time I went shopping?" Hearing Rhode admit it, and recalling the time she first went shopping, it seemed like many years had passed? Thinking of this, Aira's face was filled with surprise, but then, a teasing smile appeared on her face: "I didn't expect you to have been crushing on me for so long!"
"Cough, cough, at the time, I just thought it was fun!" Faced with Aira's teasing, Rhode was a bit embarrassed.
"Don't be shy, it's not like I'm saying no!" As she spoke, Aira grabbed Rhode's hand and said with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Don't do that, it's very dangerous!" Seeing Aira's actions, Rhode couldn't help but say so.
"Dangerous? How dangerous? Can you let me see?" Saying that, Aira pushed Rhode to the ground, then began to fondle him all over, and a great battle was about to erupt.
After an unknown amount of time, the two nestled together. Rhode was in a joyful mood, quite satisfied, and softly said to Aira: "After we go out, let's get married!"
"Whatever you say!" Hearing Rhode say this again, Aira did not refuse. Having lived on Earth for more than ten years, she had long accepted Earth's culture, and therefore, she knew what marriage meant.
"Oh, right, what gravity multiplier are you keeping your ring at?" Thinking of the wedding, Rhode thought of rings, and thinking of rings, he thought of the two gravity-adjustable rings he had wished for from Porunga earlier.
