"So strong! We all underestimated him before!" Nagato couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
Obito Uchiha nodded as well, sighing. "Yeah, he's a real monster. To grow this powerful in such a short time..."
At this moment, Madara Uchiha stared intently at the figure on the live feed, letting out a soft snort, though a trace of seriousness had entered his eyes.
"Heh, Madara, does this scene feel vaguely familiar to you?" Hashirama Senju asked with a laugh.
"What are you trying to say?" Madara shot him a glance.
"Hahaha! Look, isn't this move the same one that Guy's son used, the one that nearly kicked you to death?" Hashirama said, grinning broadly.
The corner of Madara's mouth twitched. "Shut up!" he muttered under his breath. Was this never going to be forgotten?
That bastard Hashirama, every time someone used the Eight Gates, he'd always bring this up.
The most infuriating part was, that event never even happened!
Just as Madara was fuming, ready to challenge Hashirama to a death match, Might Dai suddenly shouted out excitedly, "This is the power of youth!"
He was the one who taught the Eight Gates Released Formation to Goku!
But Goku had surpassed his teacher, showing him an even higher level of taijutsu combat!
If he weren't in this Edo Tensei body, he might have been moved to tears!
As Goku threw his final punch, Frieza's body wreathed in flames shot downwards at incredible speed, crashing onto the ocean's surface below.
*BOOM!*
The earth shook violently. The sea below was blasted apart, terrifying waves surging thousands of meters into the sky.
Carried by momentum, Frieza plunged deep into the seabed, sinking further and further until he finally slammed into the magma layer and came to a stop.
*WHOOSH!*
Frieza quickly regained his senses, enveloping his body in a protective aura that vaporized the surrounding magma.
However, he was now utterly unrecognizable.
His once-impenetrable physical defense was now covered in wounds, many places still bleeding profusely.
"Damn you!" Frieza roared through gritted teeth, his hatred for Goku reaching its peak.
*CRACK!*
Frieza burst through the layers of rock above him, shooting up from the depths.
The aura erupting from his body tore a massive fissure across the sea's surface. Magma from below erupted, meeting the seawater and producing vast plumes of white steam.
"Hateful brat! Die! Die! Just die already!" Frieza bellowed in rage, his energy surging once more.
Between his hands, he rapidly condensed an energy sphere radiating terrifying power!
"Planet Burst!"
This was one of Frieza's ultimate techniques.
Not only was it immensely powerful, but due to its highly concentrated energy, it possessed extreme penetrative force, capable of destroying a planet's core and obliterating the entire world.
Frieza didn't aim it directly at Goku. At Goku's current speed, he might be able to dodge it.
So, with a forceful downward push of his hands, he hurled the energy sphere towards Namek itself.
He intended to destroy the planet outright!
"Oh no!" Goku cried out in alarm.
The next instant, his figure blurred, reappearing above the ocean's surface.
Goku looked up at the descending energy sphere, his expression turning grave.
Finally, gritting his teeth, strange markings appeared across his body, as if molten lava was scorching him from within.
Soon, an even more formidable power erupted from Goku, sending powerful shockwaves rippling out in all directions.
"Night Guy!"
Goku shouted, launching himself skyward.
Simultaneously, the red energy surrounding him rapidly transformed, ultimately taking the shape of a massive dragon's head that enveloped him completely.
*ROAR!*
A draconic roar echoed as the colossal crimson dragon head opened its maw, unleashing a world-shaking explosion of power.
At that moment, Frieza's face suddenly changed. "What?! Impossible!" he exclaimed. Goku had actually torn through his energy sphere and was still charging towards him!
"HAH!"
Goku roared, the surrounding energy coalescing once more as the dragon head lunged to tear into Frieza.
Goku's fist slammed into Frieza's chest, shattering the bones within and sending him flying.
*SPLUTTER!*
Frieza vomited a mouthful of blood, hurtling tens of thousands of meters before crashing into a mountain.
*KABOOM!*
The mountain collapsed, the ground quaking violently. A fissure hundreds of kilometers long nearly split the massive island in two.
By now, Goku had finally reached his absolute limit. The energy surrounding him rapidly dissipated.
Moreover, his Edo Tensei body had begun to crumble quickly, fragments of dust constantly falling away.
Goku weakly knelt on one knee on the ground, white steam still rising from his body.
Looking towards where Frieza had landed, Goku said with a grave expression, "Did that... take care of him?"
The power of that strike had been unmistakable. With that punch, he felt he had pulverized Frieza's bones and internal organs.
Goku could barely hold on now, his body continuing to disintegrate.
However, at that very moment—*BOOM!*
From the distant earth, a powerful torrent of energy shot into the sky, a terrifying pressure erupting forth!
Soon, a figure burst from the ground, enveloped in an immensely powerful aura. It was unmistakably Frieza.
