The entire planet trembled continuously under the impact of the explosion.
The atmosphere was torn apart, and a terrifying storm swept in all directions, its power reaching an extreme.
As bystanders, Salari and Raditz were both left with their mouths agape in shock.
So this was the kind of battle that happened between warriors with a power level exceeding one billion!
Not only did it far surpass them, it was even more thrilling than the last fight between Talot and Cooler.
The most crucial part? It was pure domination!
At the center of the explosion.
King Cold's disheveled figure slowly came into everyone's view.
If he hadn't summoned an energy shield at the critical moment to block most of the impact, his injuries would have been far worse.
Crack crack~!! King Cold clenched his fists in fury. His already fierce features became even more twisted under the weight of his rage.
"Damn monkey!!" King Cold, consumed by rage, was just about to erupt, only to find Talot appear right in front of him in the very next instant.
King Cold was so startled by this scene that he reflexively threw a punch at Talot.
Boom!!! The powerful punch landed squarely on Talot's chest.
The blow was powerful enough to shatter mountains, but it didn't shake Talot in the slightest, not even breaking through the protective aura around his body.
This confirmed it: their power levels weren't even on the same dimension.
The attack being ineffective, King Cold's eyes widened, his bloodthirsty pupils filled with shock and disbelief.
Having failed with the first attack, King Cold swung his other arm, gathering power for a fierce blow!
Smack! This time, Talot effortlessly blocked the devastating punch.
"Looks like your final form's strength is only this much. I thought you might surprise me a little more, but clearly, I thought too highly of you." Talot shook his head slightly, a bit disappointed.
In an instant, a powerful punch was thrown, striking King Cold squarely in the abdomen.
The sheer force of the blow, along with the brutal shockwave it created, pierced through King Cold's body. Even just the aftermath alone could've seriously injured someone with a power level in the hundreds of millions.
Gahhh~~!! King Cold spewed out blood from his mouth, a harrowing scream escaping as his face twisted horrifically. He clutched his abdomen with both hands, staggering backward again and again.
The pain was so intense that he began to question his very existence. Recalling the warning of their ancestor, King Cold was drenched with cold sweat in fear.
This… was the true Super Saiyan!
Those two before….were just pretenders.
"So this is the true power of a Super Saiyan… Just one punch, and I've suffered this much damage…!!" King Cold coughed up purple blood, breaking into a cold sweat from the pain, and began to feel real fear toward Talot.
"I thought you might push me to bring out Super Saiyan 2. But now, I see I gave you too much credit. Though more than you, I'm curious to see how strong Frieza will become once his training is complete." Talot gazed at King Cold with disdain, then continued, "Ever since I came to this world, ever since I became a Super Saiyan, many things have already been set in motion! I still vaguely remember everything I did back then to escape Planet Vegeta… Enough talking with you. What could you possibly understand about what I've been through?! As an emperor of the old era, it's time for you to step off the stage of history!"
With a slight sigh, Talot lost all interest in King Cold.
He raised his hand, gathering energy, ready to eliminate King Cold in one blow.
Talot's words echoed in King Cold's ears, like a nightmare that wouldn't fade.
For King Cold, who had just returned to the stage, this was a devastating blow, one he couldn't accept!
Though he was a universal emperor of the old era, he was still a galactic overlord. After his transformation, he was even stronger and more outstanding than his sons, Cooler and Frieza.
This era should belong to him!
"Don't think this will end so easily!" King Cold adjusted his stance and quickly put distance between himself and Talot.
Although Talot's overwhelming power made him feel hopeless, as an overlord of the old era, he still wouldn't give up easily.
If he failed now, everything he possessed would vanish like smoke, completely gone.
After retreating several kilometers, King Cold raised both hands high, gathering all the energy within his body.
In an instant, an incredibly dense Supernova, radiating an aura of death, appeared.
The terrifying pressure and incomparable aura swept across the entire Planet Cold No.1.
Supernova's diameter continued expanding, eventually reaching several thousand meters.
"Like father, like son. Just like Cooler, you've got the same habits. This energy sphere's pressure is impressive… but unfortunately, you, its user, is still far too weak," Talot said, secretly drawing on from a deeper pool of energy within his body.
His golden aura grew even more intense, and blue-white arcs of electricity began faintly crackling around his body.
"Die, you arrogant monkey!!!" King Cold roared, waving his right hand. The massive Supernova shot forward rapidly, and even the surrounding space twisted horrifyingly under the aftermath of its energy.
Sensing the incoming Supernova, Talot's lips curved into a slight smirk, and he raised his right hand to counter it.
This move made King Cold's eyes widen, but a sinister smile soon appeared on his face.
Talot was courting death, and King Cold saw a sliver of hope for victory.
"Naive." Talot's indifferent words cut through the air, and he mobilized the deeper layer of Super Saiyan energy pool within his body.
Blue-white lightning exploded around his body. Talot instantly entered Super Saiyan 2.
A massive wave of pressure shot out from his palm, halting the Supernova in its tracks while simultaneously seeping into its core.
In the blink of an eye…
Boom~~!!! Supernova collapsed rapidly, disintegrating into countless energy particles that scattered across space.
This scene left all the onlookers utterly speechless.
Salari, Raditz, King Cold, and even North Kai…
The difference in power….was no longer even in the same league.
