The massive crimson-gold energy sphere kept expanding, its destructive power so immense that even the shockwaves tore through Earth's atmosphere. The blinding light rivaled the sun, utterly terrifying.
This was Golden Frieza's latest and most powerful super ultimate technique: Super Death Ball!!
Compared to the former Death Ball, the Super Death Ball's destructive power was far more terrifying. It could easily tear apart the entire solar system.
At this moment, on Earth, Talot gazed up at the blazing Super Death Ball burning in the sky and made his decision.
He had been worried that Frieza might blow up Earth just like in the original work, so he had blasted him into space beforehand, and now, it turned out exactly as he had expected.
Raising his right hand, he unleashed the ultimate technique he had spent the past year developing, an upgraded version of the King's Bomb: the Annihilation Bomb!
A massive spiraling crimson-gold energy sphere gathered at his command, and with the added power of his Super Saiyan 4 form, its might was even more terrifying.
Out in space, Golden Frieza hurled the colossal Super Death Ball forward with both hands. Like a meteor, it tore through the void, heading straight for Earth.
"From this moment on, your race will vanish from the stage of history, Frieza!!!" Talot shouted as he launched the Annihilation Bomb. It broke through the atmosphere first and collided head-on with the oncoming Super Death Ball.
BOOOOM~~~!!!!
The instant the two ultimate attacks collided, an incomparably powerful shockwave spread through space.
This time, not only Earth, but even the entire solar system was affected by the immense disturbance.
At first glance, the two attacks seemed evenly matched, but that wasn't the case.
Talot's Annihilation Bomb was extraordinarily unique. It was steadily eating away at, devouring, and erasing Frieza's Super Death Ball bit by bit.
If it had been Frieza's Super Death Ball unleashed at his peak strength, Talot wouldn't have been a hundred percent sure he could block it. But the tide had turned. Golden Frieza was now nothing more than a candle flickering in the wind.
"Impossible!! How could you block my Super Death Ball?!" Golden Frieza's heart trembled in fear as he watched his own attack being consumed piece by piece by Talot's energy.
At last, the Annihilation Bomb engulfed Golden Frieza's body, shredding him apart as he screamed in agony.
"Damn you, monkey… you all… deserve to die!!!" Frieza roared with unwillingness in his heart.
Wumm~~!!
The Annihilation Bomb rapidly contracted in space, and when the radiance of the energy completely vanished, Frieza no longer existed.
In Talot's Ki Sense, that dark Ki was gone.
The battle was over.
With Frieza's death, the long-standing grudge between the Saiyans and the Frost Demons finally came to an end.
The overlord of the old era, Frost Demons, had been completely eradicated by Talot.
A new era was about to begin.
...
On Earth, Talot still.remained tense and alert.
Only after two or three full minutes passed without sensing any trace of Frieza's life aura did he finally confirm that Frieza was truly dead.
Of course, confirmation also came from the Other World. Frieza had already descended into Hell.
"Frieza… is finally dead…" Talot's tensed nerves relaxed at last, and he let out a deep sigh of relief.
This battle had truly been the toughest and most intense fight of his entire life.
As expected of the emperor of the old era, even in his golden form, Frieza had nearly overpowered Talot's Super Saiyan 4 state.
If Frieza had been able to maintain composure and overcome the fatal weakness of the golden form's massive energy consumption, this battle wouldn't have ended so easily.
However, even if Frieza had perfected his control over that form, Talot still had ways to kill him. It just would have come at a greater cost.
Outside the battlefield.
Many were still stunned, unable to come back to their senses.
"Frieza's aura… it's gone…!!!" Vegeta said, his face filled with disbelief.
After a brief moment of shock, a deep surge of joy welled up inside.
Having personally witnessed Frieza's death, though the one who killed him wasn't himself, the Saiyan race had finally gotten their revenge.
For so long, he had lived under the shadow that Frieza had cast over his life. Now that Frieza was dead, his nightmare had vanished with him. The feeling was exhilarating, and indescribably satisfying.
However, he now had a new goal. Frieza's death was only the beginning. From here on, he would reclaim the honor of the Saiyan Prince, along with everything that once belonged to him, including the revival of the Saiyan race.
And to achieve that, he would have to defeat Talot.
Though their strength were worlds apart right now, Vegeta firmly believed that with his talent—now that he knew there were multiple levels beyond Super Saiyan—it wouldn't be long before he could surpass the limits of Super Saiyan 1, and ultimately, surpass Talot himself!
"It's over… it's really over… Frieza's completely dead!!" Raditz's heart was still trembling, unable to calm down. What had just happened felt like a dream.
First, there was Talot's Super Saiyan 3, then Frieza's Golden Form, and afterward, Talot transformed into a completely new form they had never seen before.
Though they didn't know the name of that transformation, the outcome was all that mattered.
Frieza was dead, and his race had come to an end.
Now, it was time for the Saiyans' era to begin!
"Incredible… Brother Talot has mastered so many transformations. I wonder if I'll be able to reach that level one day?" Goku, having finally come to his senses, felt an overwhelming admiration and yearning for such immense strength.
Talot's invincible figure had left an indelible impression in his mind.
As for Nappa, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, who had been knocked unconscious by the shockwaves of the battle, they all began to regain consciousness at this moment.
As they woke up, confusion was written all over their faces.
The battle… was over?
Frieza… was dead??
What on earth had happened while they were out cold??
...
On North Kai's Planet.
Everyone had learned through North Kai's ability that Frieza had been slain.
Their faces lit up with pure joy as they cheered in celebration.
The vengeance of the Saiyan race had finally been fulfilled, and the next era would be written by their hands.
[Unknowingly, you've already grown to such a level. There's nothing more I can teach you…] At that moment, North Kai felt delighted, fully acknowledging that Talot had graduated from his tutelage.
In truth, ever since Talot had broken through to Super Saiyan 4, there hadn't been much left for him to teach anyway.
