Provoked, Golden Frieza's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Sharp-tongued monkey, don't get too carried away!!!" With a furious roar, Golden Frieza's power suddenly erupted. He flung off Talot's arm while his right leg gathered strength, whipping out in a sweeping kick.
Already on guard, Talot neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he raised his hand and caught Golden Frieza's right ankle, skillfully neutralizing all the force before hurling Frieza away.
Golden Frieza flipped backward in midair and landed steadily after a graceful backflip. The two now stood several dozen meters apart.
After this brief probing, Golden Frieza had gained a deeper understanding of Talot's Super Saiyan 4, and his mood grew heavier.
Though not as strong as him, this monkey was undoubtedly troublesome. Killing him quickly would not be an easy task.
"Hoh hoh hoh hoh~~!! It seems you've not only turned into a monkey in appearance, but your brute strength has increased quite a bit as well. However, just a friendly reminder, I wasn't even using half my power earlier."
As his words fell, the energy storm around Golden Frieza expanded again, the pressure of his released aura growing ever more terrifying.
Feeling this ever-expanding aura storm, the immense pressure only ignited Talot's fighting spirit further. Raging flames burned in his eyes, and his hands itched for combat.
The power of the Great Ape was stimulated further, and Talot unleashed his own aura to resist Golden Frieza's aura storm.
But judging from their aura alone, his Super Saiyan 4 aura was still slightly inferior.
Reaching the peak of his power, Golden Frieza struck decisively. His taut body exploded with terrifying speed, his punch carrying apocalyptic might as it crashed toward Talot's face.
"Who's afraid of who?!" Talot's fighting spirit soared, his fist carrying unstoppable might as it swung out.
BOOM!!!! Their fists collided, unleashing a boundless storm, shaking heaven and earth.
Golden Frieza's fist carried limitless power, but even so, Talot's fist was equally fierce.
The shockwaves of their clash sent both Talot and Golden Frieza reeling backward.
Seizing the moment, Golden Frieza unleashed dozens…no, hundreds of Death Beams, weaving them into a dense net that shot toward Talot.
With no way to evade, Talot drew upon the Great Ape's power, forming a golden barrier around himself.
BOOMMMM~~~!!! The flames of the explosion erupted skyward, piercing the clouds.
The endless storm no longer only ravaged the far north, it was now affecting the entire planet.
Without the protection of special powers, disasters of varying degrees erupted across Earth.
If the battle continued, the entire planet might collapse!
And Talot's situation was far from optimistic.
His energy barrier was already 70% destroyed. If Golden Frieza kept bombarding him like this, he might lose a layer of skin.
"Your end has come, monkey!!" Golden Frieza's eyes flashed with bloodlust. His small frame shot forward with lightning speed, launching a ferocious flying kick.
Sensing the incoming crisis, Talot crossed his arms to block in front of him.
BOOM!!!!! A deafening explosion rang out.
Talot's barrier shattered completely, and the overwhelming force swept through his body. Even though he blocked in time, his legs scraped against the ground, carving nearly a hundred meters of long cracks.
And this was only the beginning. Golden Frieza had no intention of letting him off so easily.
Once again he lunged forward, his assault pouring down on Talot like a torrential storm.
Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! … Their hand-to-hand combat erupted once more, a back-and-forth maneuver of attack and defense, pursuit and counterattack.
Each left lasting marks with their fists upon the other's body.
But for Talot, this was his chance; his opportunity to evolve, to grow stronger.
In the heat of battle, the power of Super Saiyan 4 was drawn out even further.
Pain was transformed into a greater fighting spirit. The power of Great Ape swelled rapidly, causing him to almost forget himself. Ignoring the pain across his body, his attacks grew even more ferocious.
A dense flurry of punches and kicks poured down on Golden Frieza like a violent storm.
Bang! Boom! Bang! Three consecutive powerful strikes landed squarely on Golden Frieza's chest, forcefully knocking him back.
"Tch~!" A flash of anger crossed Golden Frieza's face as he was pushed away.
Although it hadn't affected him too much, it really hurt!
"Come on!! Keep going!!!" Brimming with fighting spirit, Talot charged forward again, taking the initiative to attack Golden Frieza.
"Don't get too carried away, you damned monkey!!" Golden Frieza, naturally unafraid, met him head-on.
BOOM!!!! The instant they collided, the light of destruction rapidly expanded, engulfing all things in the world.
Within that light, Talot and Golden Frieza moved and clashed at speeds beyond the naked eye's ability to follow.
In just a few seconds, the two had exchanged and countered dozens of blows.
On the surface, it looked as though they were evenly matched, but in reality, Golden Frieza's attacks were far fiercer than Talot expected. Every attack sank deep into Talot's bones, bringing searing pain.
As the battle continued to escalate, the Saiyan blood within Talot boiled and surged. The innate trait of "growing stronger against stronger opponents" and turning pain into exhilaration, slowly shifted the tide of battle.
Golden Frieza wasn't a fool. Of course he noticed Talot's changes. This red-furred monkey was far too great a threat. He couldn't afford to hold back, he had to crush him completely.
"Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh~~!! Before me, the power of you Saiyan monkeys is utterly insignificant. Soon, I'll show you what true hell looks like." Golden Frieza pressed his attack while taunting Talot, trying to unsettle his mind.
His attacks grew even stronger, and the scale of destruction spread wider and wider.
But Talot remained completely unaffected. His mind stayed steady, letting Golden Frieza unleash his full power.
Through their recent exchanges, Talot had already discovered Golden Frieza's weakness.
In battle, the outcome isn't decided by strength alone; many other factors come into play.
Golden Frieza, just like in the original work, had made a fatal mistake.
He had come to Earth to fight without fully mastering his Golden form. Its power was indeed immense, but its stamina drain was a deadly flaw.
