High in the sky, Son Goku and Frieza clashed once more. This time, however, Frieza was sent flying by a single punch from Goku.
Frieza crashed headfirst into the ocean below, instantly stirring up terrifying waves.
"Boom!"
A massive column of water erupted from the sea's surface as numerous crimson-purple energy blasts shot out from the depths, hurtling towards Son Goku.
Simultaneously, Frieza's figure burst forth at high speed, his entire body enveloped in energy like a comet, charging straight at Goku.
"Morning Peacock!"
Goku continuously threw punches, swiftly deflecting the incoming energy blasts before charging fiercely towards Frieza.
"Daytime Tiger!"
The white tiger's maw collided with Frieza, unleashing a world-shaking shockwave.
In the end, Frieza waved his hand, redirecting the force of the impact straight down towards the ground.
The ground was instantly pierced for tens of thousands of meters, magma gushing forth as if the sun itself had descended.
"Damn it! This isn't your planet, stop destroying it recklessly!" Goku shouted.
He didn't want to fight Frieza only to end up destroying the entire planet. That would make him a major sinner!
"Hmph, your strength is unexpectedly powerful, but this ends here. I've rested enough!" Frieza sneered.
As his words fell, a surge of crimson-purple energy erupted from his body.
Instantly, everyone on Namek once again felt an overwhelming, heaven-defying pressure.
Fifty Percent Power Unleashed!
Having recovered some stamina during the previous fight, Frieza was able to re-enter his Fifty Percent Power Unleashed state!
"So strong!" Goku's expression shifted slightly.
The current Frieza seemed like a completely different person, his aura becoming utterly terrifying.
"Swish!"
Frieza's figure vanished abruptly, reappearing directly behind Goku.
With a raised finger, a ki blast erupted from his fingertip, striking Goku squarely in the back.
"Boom!"
Goku didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying by the blow.
In the original storyline, even with the Tenfold Kaio-ken activated, Goku was no match for Frieza at Fifty Percent Power.
This time, however, Goku was different. Not only had he activated the Tenfold Kaio-ken, but he had also opened the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates.
Therefore, the moment he was sent flying, Goku quickly stabilized himself and fired a Kamehameha wave at Frieza.
Frieza's face remained cold as he sidestepped the Kamehameha, sneering, "Hmph, a petty trick!" Immediately after, a mass of flaming energy formed in his hand and was hurled forward.
"Fire Shower!"
Countless fireballs shot forth, rapidly homing in on Goku. Wherever they passed, the scorching flames caused the air to churn violently.
"Ha!"
Goku roared angrily, his ki erupting continuously as he threw punches, swiftly dispersing the incoming fireballs.
"This won't do. In my current state, I'm still no match for him!" Goku thought to himself.
"In that case, I have no choice but to use that move!"
Gritting his teeth hard, veins bulged across his body as a crimson light erupted from his eyes.
"Eight Inner Gates, Eighth Gate of Death, OPEN!"
With a thunderous shout, the azure steam surrounding his body rapidly changed, transforming into a crimson red in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Goku's body seemed to be burning. His hair and eyebrows turned red, and his skin took on an ashen-brown hue.
A terrifying pressure erupted from him. Combined with the boost from the Kaio-ken, the aura Goku unleashed at this moment was overwhelmingly fierce.
"Nani? What kind of technique is this? How can it unleash such immense power? How is this possible?!"
Frieza couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Facing Goku now, he actually felt fear, because he sensed a genuine threat emanating from Goku's body.
How can this guy be so strong?!
"Evening Elephant!"
Goku's body was covered in energy steam, yet his figure abruptly vanished.
Goku's speed had long surpassed several times the speed of sound. Now, with the Gate of Death opened, he moved so fast he disappeared completely.
No one present could sense his movements, not even Frieza.
Suddenly, Goku materialized in front of Frieza, shouting, "First Step!" His fist slammed into Frieza's chest, blasting him away.
Yet, in the next instant, he had already caught up to Frieza again.
Goku was like a crimson beast, delivering a powerful flying kick at Frieza.
"Second Step!"
Frieza's body was forcibly sent flying in another direction, soaring like a meteor, flames igniting from the friction with the air.
"Third Step!""Fourth Step!""Fifth Step!"
Goku's attacks grew faster and more powerful with each strike.
Every move was executed at extreme speed, generating powerful air currents that enveloped Frieza.
In the mere blink of an eye, Frieza's defenses were shattered, his body battered into a bloody, mangled mess.
The spectators watching the live broadcast were utterly stunned by the battle unfolding on screen.
"What a powerful technique! What immense strength!"
Including Nail, all the Namekians stared with wide eyes, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
Vegeta, who was secretly searching for the Dragon Balls, also found the battle on screen hard to believe.
Goku appeared to be around his own age, yet his strength was simply this formidable, capable of beating Frieza so thoroughly.
"Who is this guy? How can he be so strong? Frieza can't even fight back against him!" Vegeta thought, his heart pounding.
Of course, some saw through the truth, such as the Grand Elder.
He realized that the technique Goku was using exchanged his own lifespan for a temporary surge of immense power!
This was essentially a suicide technique, because any living being who used it would undoubtedly die!
