Upon hearing Rayden's words, Tagma quickly pulled out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and placed it into Frieza's mouth.
As soon as Frieza swallowed the Senzu Bean, crackling sounds echoed from his body. His dislocated bones realigned, and the wounds across his body healed instantly.
Frieza stood up from the bed, stretched his body, and began walking toward the door of the Spirit Time Chamber.
Seeing this, Tagma hurried to follow.
Frieza grasped the doorknob, slowly turned it, and stepped out of the chamber.
"What the...?" Rayden raised an eyebrow. He was puzzled. "Only half an hour has passed."
(One hour outside equals approximately 15 days inside the Spirit Time Chamber.)
"Rayden! You're still here?" Frieza gasped, clearly not expecting to see Rayden waiting for them.
"Problem?" Rayden replied flatly.
He looked them up and down. There was no noticeable change in their strength.
Without warning, Rayden vanished and reappeared right in front of them, landing a series of brutal blows that left Frieza and Tagma gasping in pain.
He then tossed their battered bodies back into the Spirit Time Chamber.
"Damn it! What is Rayden trying to do?!" Frieza roared.
Once again, Tagma gave Frieza a Senzu Bean. Their bodies healed almost instantly.
Frieza stomped toward the door.
"King Frieza, wait!" Tagma called out.
"What now?" Frieza snapped, irritated.
"Rayden is probably still outside. If we train here instead, with your talent, your power will skyrocket!"
Frieza paused. Then he smirked.
"You're not so bad after all, Tagma. Fine. You can be my sparring partner."

Half a year later.
"Hohoho~!"
Frieza chuckled proudly, standing tall in his newly mastered Golden Frieza form. He turned to the heavily bruised and exhausted Tagma.
"It's time. Let's go."
The two walked to the door. Frieza didn't exit immediately after unlocking the golden transformation. He had taken his time to refine it.
CRACK.
The Spirit Time Chamber door creaked open.
Rayden, who had been dozing at the entrance, opened his eyes. Glancing at the clock, he noticed that only half a day had passed outside—about six months inside.
He yawned and said, "Out already? Why not keep training?"
"Hohoho," Frieza sneered. "I came out to punish you!"
He let out a mighty roar. Golden light exploded from his body, blinding everyone momentarily.
When the light faded, his white skin had turned radiant gold, and his aura crackled.
"This 24k gold look could fetch a high price," Rayden joked, examining him.
"You dare mock me?!" Frieza howled and charged forward, throwing a fist at Rayden's face.
Rayden instantly powered up, deflecting the attack effortlessly.
In a flash, Rayden transformed—his black hair flowed to his back, his chest and arms covered in red fur, a red tail swaying behind him.
Super Saiyan 4.
With Instant Transmission, he appeared in front of Frieza and launched a barrage of punches.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Frieza could do nothing but scream as he was pounded mercilessly.
"How... how is this possible?!" Frieza groaned. "I can't even fight back?!"
Rayden grabbed him by the head and dragged him to the Spirit Time Chamber entrance.
"Tagma! Get over here!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Tagma crawled over obediently.
Rayden took out a jar of Senzu Beans and handed it to Tagma.
"Train hard. Both of you."
With that, he opened the door and kicked them in again.
He had anticipated Frieza's golden transformation. But with such a low base power level, it hardly made a difference.

Inside the Spirit Time Chamber.
"King Frieza!" Tagma helped Frieza to his feet.
Frieza stood still, disbelief etched on his face. "How? How have the Saiyans grown this strong in just ten years?!"
Tagma hesitated. "Frieza, Rayden gave us this jar of Senzu Beans. He... wants us to keep training."
"Bastard! Mocking me like this!" Frieza growled and kicked Tagma.
"Ow! What was that for?! I didn't insult you!"
Frieza said nothing and stormed off to train.
Just you wait, Rayden. I'll make you pay!
---
Five years later.
Frieza and Tagma had consumed every last bit of stored food. The Senzu Bean jar was empty.
"We've made incredible progress," Tagma said, panting. "And you even unlocked a new transformation!"
Frieza nodded, but unease lingered in his heart.
The two flew to the door—only to find it missing.
"Where's the door?!"
"No way... are we stuck here forever?" Tagma panicked.
"NO! I refuse!"
Frieza roared. His golden aura erupted. But this time, it didn't stop.
Lightning struck around him. His skin shimmered, shifting from gold to silver-white.
Two symmetrical silver horns grew from his shoulders. His power surged.
Platinum Frieza.
Frieza raised his palm and fired a concentrated energy blast at the barrier.
BOOM!
The Spirit Time Chamber shook violently. A massive crack formed.
"Tagma, let's go!"
The two passed through the rift.
---
Outside the chamber.
Frieza looked around, confused. This wasn't Earth.
Rayden stood nearby, arms crossed.
"This... is your graveyard, Rayden?" Frieza smirked, confidence radiating from him.
Rayden said nothing.
Frieza powered up instantly. The sky turned black. Thunder cracked above.
Rayden, calm and composed, let his own energy rise. Black clouds formed. Lightning rained down.
His black hair began to glow, turning silver-white, lengthening to his waist. His chest and arms shimmered with silver fur. A matching silver tail emerged.
Super Saiyan 5.
