In that instant, time seemed to freeze.
Everything around them fell silent. Not even the faintest breeze could be heard. The air itself seemed to grow heavy and suffocating.
Under everyone's gaze, an unbelievable scene unfolded: Frieza had actually been infected by Baby!
Piccolo's eyes widened as he locked his gaze onto Frieza. His heart pounded with shock, and he unconsciously clenched his fists, his veins bulging as he prepared for battle.
The people watching from below were even more terrified. One by one, they stood dumbfounded, their bodies as stiff as statues, too afraid to move a step.
The extreme tension felt like an invisible pair of hands gripping everyone's throats, making normal breathing nearly impossible.
"You've got to be kidding..." Krillin swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. The arrogant, unstoppable emperor of the universe, Frieza, had undergone such a drastic change.
"Frieza got parasitized?!" Yamcha cried out as well, his face filled with disbelief.
At the same time, the Kaioshin duo stood completely stunned, not knowing what to do. They looked at each other, and a huge question mark slowly appeared above their heads.
Kibito asked in confusion, "Parasitized... What does that even mean? Isn't Frieza still standing there just fine? The one who got defeated is that guy, right?" As he spoke, Kibito pointed toward Aize, who was lying in a deep crater.
Kaioshin Shin carefully observed the changes in everyone's expressions, and his heart sank immediately. From that brief glance, he instantly realized that something bad was happening.
"This is bad. Kibito, something feels wrong!"
Kaioshin Shin frowned deeply. His face filled with grim seriousness as he continued, "This Frieza doesn't seem to be the one we're familiar with anymore."
His tone was incredibly heavy, as if it could pierce the air itself.
At that moment, Frieza, who had been suspended in the sky and whose appearance had already changed, slowly turned his head.
His terrifying eyes locked onto the crowd below, revealing endless killing intent. In an instant, a chilling sensation crawled up everyone's spine, causing their entire bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
After that, Frieza slowly descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.
His hands were clasped behind his back, and he stood tall and elegant. Yet, with each step he took, an invisible, oppressive pressure advanced toward them.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense to the absolute limit at this moment, as if time itself had solidified.
Everyone's heart rose to their throats, and they could clearly hear their violent heartbeats.
Even the usually composed Master Roshi had now entered his muscular battle form.
His thick, powerful arms gripped a small, delicate bottle and a talisman inscription that radiated a mysterious light. He stood fully prepared.
Everyone was trembling with fear faced with such a powerful enemy, but they knew running away was pointless. The only way to survive was to muster their courage and fight to the death; only then would there be the slightest chance of survival.
Tap...!
The steady sound of footsteps rang out as Piccolo transformed into his orange form and stood directly in front of Baby Frieza.
A moment later, Baby Frieza's lips curled into a sinister smile. At the same time, he slowly raised his hand and aimed it toward the crowd.
"Who should I start with first?"
It was as if a Shinigami had delivered a death sentence. Piccolo resolutely stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him.
Baby Frieza glanced at Piccolo coldly and said in a deep voice, "Oh? You want to go first? Heh heh… I failed to kill you earlier, so now…"
But before he could finish... Baby Frieza's expression suddenly changed, as if he were performing a magic trick.
"This great king will send you to your death right now! Hohohoho!!!"
The moment he said this, Baby Frieza abruptly covered his mouth. His eyes widened like bronze bells; his face was full of disbelief.
'Did that voice actually come out of his own mouth?!'
On top of that, he never laughed with a "hohoho." He always laughed with a "hehe."
Baby Frieza steadied himself and pointed his finger at Piccolo once again, but in the next second, his finger seemed to have a mind of its own and lowered itself.
His body began to disobey him as well, making movements so ridiculous that they could make anyone's jaw drop.
The already nervous crowd was completely stunned by this sudden scene.
"This guy...?" Kibito slowly formed a question mark over his head.
But in the next moment, Baby Frieza gave them the answer.
A chilling laugh, belonging solely to Frieza, once again came from Baby Frieza's mouth:
"Hohohoho!"
"Do you think you're worthy of parasitizing This Great King? Do you actually want to control this great king's body?!"
"Hohohoho! What a joke! This great king's body can only be controlled by this great king himself! What the hell are you? You're a stray dog whose race was exterminated by the Saiyans. How dare you covet This Great King's body?!"
Baby Frieza didn't intend to speak, yet his mouth opened uncontrollably, uttering words he hated.
At that moment, Baby Frieza's expression changed again as he roared furiously.
"Damn it! I am the true master of this body! Impossible! My control is absolute! Frieza! I will not allow you to steal my body!"
Then, Frieza's voice sounded once more:
"What arrogant nonsense. Pathetic creature, do you really want my body that badly?"
"If that's the case, then I'll make sure you never get it!"
"Get out of this great king's body!"
"Aaahhh!"
The moment those words were spoken, an overwhelmingly powerful surge of energy erupted from Baby Frieza's body. The next second, he kicked off with both legs and shot straight into the sky above Earth.
His power poured out completely.
The entire galaxy fell into turmoil.
Frieza's aura continued to rise, he was using his body's ability to forcibly expel Baby! After roaring for a full minute, the bloodstain on Frieza's face spread wider.
A disgusting mass of flesh began seeping out of Frieza's body.
"You are the stupidest person I've ever seen! And you dare call yourself the King of the Tuffles!"
"No wonder your Tuffle race got wiped out by the Saiyans! It turns out you're a naive fool!"
Frieza's words were meant to destroy body and soul.
In truth, he didn't know that Baby was merely the Tuffles' highest technological creation. Baby had claimed the title "King of the Tuffles" for himself.
