Above Planet Saiya, a blinding sphere of light hung in the center of space, burning like a miniature sun. At its core stood Frieza—now in his final form, his sleek white-and-purple body radiating overwhelming power. Unlike his composed transformation in the original timeline, this time, pressured by Zuke, he had forcibly pushed himself into this state. His muscles bulged unnaturally, brimming with terrifying explosive energy, and his aura surged to its absolute peak.
"This is my full power at 100%... But this strength is so immense that even I can't fully control it. Maintaining it for too long will damage my body."
Now in his ultimate form, Frieza regained some of his confidence, a cruel smirk twisting his lips as he glared at Zuke.
"I never thought I'd be forced to use this form... As thanks, I'll use this power to kill you quickly!"
The moment he finished speaking, Frieza vanished—despite his bulging muscles, his speed remained unaffected. With a combat power of 120 million, his movements were so fast they almost seemed like instant transmission.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
In the next instant, Frieza's fists hammered into Zuke's face three times in rapid succession, as if repaying the earlier blows he had suffered. The sheer force sent Zuke flying backward, his body smashing through floating planetary debris near Saiya.
Yet, Frieza had no intention of letting him recover. The tyrant pursued relentlessly, eager to unleash even more attacks.
"What's wrong, Zuke?! Where's that arrogance from before?!"
Stripped of his usual polite demeanor, Frieza's voice dripped with malice. Catching up to Zuke mid-flight, he clasped his hands together and slammed them down like a volleyball spike, abruptly altering Zuke's trajectory and sending him crashing downward—straight through a passing asteroid, shattering it instantly.
Still unsatisfied, Frieza lunged after him, his body erupting with a violent glow.
This was a technique where he coated himself in ki, amplifying the destructive force of his high-speed charge.
BOOM!
Frieza crashed into Zuke with devastating impact, sending him flying once more—this time smashing into a nearby moon.
Their battle had long since moved away from Planet Saiya, and now, the moon of an unnamed planet bore the brunt of their clash. The moment Zuke collided with it, the entire satellite shattered, unable to withstand the planet-destroying force behind their blows.
This was exactly why Zuke had knocked Frieza away from Saiya—to prevent their fight from annihilating the planet.
"So this is all you've got, Zuke?! Then vanish into cosmic dust!"
Frieza charged again, plowing straight through the moon's fragments as he closed in on Zuke. His hands brimmed with concentrated ki, ready to deliver the final blow.
But just as he approached—
"ROOOAR—!!"
Zuke's eyes snapped open—now crimson red—as he let out a bestial roar.
In that instant, his aura exploded with such intensity that Frieza's instincts screamed danger.
Earlier, Frieza had sensed Zuke's inferior power during his relentless assault—without a scouter, he could only gauge it from the feedback of his attacks.
But now?
Even without a scouter, he could feel it—the overwhelming, suffocating pressure radiating from Zuke's body.
It was the instinctive dread of a predator facing something far worse.
For the first time, Frieza hesitated.
And that single moment of hesitation was all Zuke needed.
"KA… ME… HA… ME… HAAAA—!!!"
A Kamehameha erupted from Zuke's palms, engulfing Frieza in a cataclysmic wave of energy. The already shattered moon fragments were vaporized, leaving nothing behind.
The reason for this sudden surge?
Zuke had activated "Saint's Numeral" and "Berserker State"—tripling his power first, then doubling it again.
Originally boasting a combat power exceeding 30 million, Zuke now far surpassed Frieza's 120 million!
Why Hadn't He Used This Sooner?
Zuke had held back initially, hoping that Frieza's pressure might trigger his rage and allow him to ascend to a Super Saiyan.
But it didn't work.
Knowing he had a hidden advantage, Zuke simply couldn't feel the necessary fury. Instead, watching Frieza's desperate frenzy only amused him.
Now, realizing that Frieza's pressure wouldn't force a breakthrough, he unleashed his full power.
"This strength…?!"
Frieza's pupils trembled as the Kamehameha overwhelmed him. He crossed his arms, pouring every ounce of his energy into defense—but it was futile.
For a few seconds, he resisted, his body trembling like a leaf in a storm.
Then—
"GYAAAAAAHH—!!!"
With a final scream, Frieza was blasted away, his body scorched by the violent ki. His tail was severed—just like in the original timeline, where it had been cut off twice.
Even before reaching that point in history, Zuke had made sure Frieza lost his tail once again.
