Piccolo, who was heavily injured, was about to collapse when Frieza appeared right in front of him.
Frieza lifted his foot and kicked Piccolo fiercely.
Piccolo had no strength left to resist and was sent flying by the kick. Although the action looked unfriendly, Frieza was actually holding back.
By doing so, he could send Piccolo away from the battlefield and help him escape danger.
Piccolo knew in his heart that Frieza had saved his life again.
At that moment, Piccolo could only lie on the ground and quietly watch everything before him. He felt his body had reached its limit and that he could no longer continue fighting.
Out of goodwill, Piccolo endured the pain and used his last bit of energy to let out a hoarse, desperate warning:
"Frieza, be careful."
Frieza heard Piccolo's shout, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. His gaze was filled with confidence and arrogance, as if the entire situation were under his control.
In an instant, he expanded the protective barrier several times over and advanced steadily through the hail of gunfire.
Piccolo's voice entered his ears.
"Heh, heh, heh... Namekian, you should worry about yourself first."
"Hey, you two over there." Frieza glanced toward Supreme Kai Shin.
"If you don't want this Namekian to die, then heal him."
Supreme Kai Shin was still stunned from earlier. Only after Frieza reminded him did he snap back to his senses, as if waking from a dream.
He instinctively poked Kibito beside him, signaling him to take action. Kibito immediately understood and, without another word, rushed to Piccolo's side with him and began treating him.
"Mr. Piccolo! I'll heal you!" Supreme Kai Shin said urgently.
Though extremely weak, Piccolo nodded with great effort to show he accepted. At that moment, however, Baby Aize in the distance seemed to sense Kibito's presence.
Kibito had just taken Piccolo away right under Baby Aize's nose and had brought him back from the brink of death time and time again. If he didn't deal with this troublesome figure, it would only cause him more problems.
In this situation, Baby Aize had a clear thought in mind: control him or kill him.
At that moment, he leaned more toward the second choice.
The moment he had this thought, Baby Aize changed his target, aiming that terrifying laser directly at Kibito and Piccolo.
He was determined to erase this meddlesome man completely. But just as he believed he was about to succeed, a golden silhouette suddenly appeared before him.
Frieza stared straight into Baby Aize's eyes with a mocking look.
"What do you think you're doing, Aize?"
The sudden voice froze Baby Aize to the core. For some reason, even though he had become stronger, facing Frieza still gave him a suffocating sense of pressure.
Facing Frieza still gave him a suffocating sense of pressure.
Maybe this was bloodline suppression.
Baby Aize was extremely annoyed. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Damn it! How dare you look down on me?!"
He felt that his strength had surpassed Frieza's. In his Golden Form, he believed his power was absolutely above Frieza's, and he was full of confidence.
Baby Aize leaped forward and instantly appeared at Kibito's side.
A sinister glint rose at the corner of his mouth as he aimed the laser he had been charging for a long time directly at the two of them.
"You troublesome bastard... go die." Baby Aize muttered coldly.
Kibito was instantly shocked. A wave of fear surged through him and his eyes widened in horror because he hadn't noticed this guy appear beside him.
"Damn it..."
Kibito stared at Baby Aize in terror as his heart filled with shock.
He understood clearly that this man's speed and power far surpassed his own, leaving him unable to respond.
Kibito realized that he had to escape immediately or face unimaginable consequences.
He prepared to use Instant Transmission to flee. However, in the blink of an eye, Baby Aize seemed to have already seen through his intentions.
Before Kibito could activate it, Baby Aize moved with astonishing speed and fired a laser straight at Kibito and Piccolo.
"AAAH!!! It hurts!" Kibito let out a miserable scream.
The very next second, though, he felt something was wrong. He widened his confused eyes and realized it didn't hurt at all.
At that moment, he looked up.
Standing in front of Baby Aize was someone.
Frieza was staring at Baby Aize with a gloomy expression. He was using his barrier to block the fatal strike for both himself and Piccolo.
After that, Frieza spoke coldly: "I'll be watching you the whole time."
"Anything I don't allow, you absolutely won't be able to do,, like just now when you dared to cross me and go after those two."
Baby Aize's expression changed drastically.
"So, unless I step over your corpse, I won't be able to harm them?"
"Huh?! Frieza!" Baby Aize erupted in rage instantly, his golden light overwhelming Frieza.
Frieza merely smiled calmly.
"You can think of it that way. But my ultimate goal is to teach you a lesson!"
The battle between the two erupted instantly.
Baby Aize slammed a punch into Frieza's body, and at the same time, Frieza responded with a punch of his own.
Their bodies shot backward at high speed, swaying repeatedly in midair.
In less than a second, they collided again.
Their fists met in a straight line, and at that very moment, their power reached an evenly matched level.
The shockwaves of energy created by the collision should have spread outward.
Yet, in that instant, they canceled each other out.
"Heh, heh, heh... You've got my genes in your body. Looks like I underestimated you earlier."
"Your talent truly surprises me. But as I said, by unsealing Aize too early, you ensured that he would always be defective."
"In the end, I'll kill you both together."
Baby Aize scoffed and replied, "Stop acting so smug."
"After I kill you, I'll take your place and become the true Emperor of the Universe."
"If this is all the strength you have, then I think you should just beg for mercy."
As he finished speaking, Baby Aize immediately increased his power output. His hand reached toward Frieza's face at that very moment.
Shhk...!!
A bloody gash suddenly appeared across Frieza's face. The cause was something in Baby Aize's hand, something similar to a Destructo Disc.
Blood flowed down the corner of Frieza's mouth. In the end, he licked it.
It had been a long time since he had tasted his own blood.
"Who told you that my strength is only this much?"
