Universe 7.
On a desolate planet swept by piercing, bone-chilling winds, thick snowflakes drifted from the sky, blanketing the ground in a deep layer of snow. The entire world seemed shrouded in white.
Suddenly, a massive, saucer-shaped spaceship slowly descended onto the icy landscape. It was Frieza's personal vessel.
As soon as the ship touched down, the hatch automatically opened, and a blast of frigid air rushed into the cabin, sending shivers down the spines of those inside.
Standing within the ship, Frieza gazed through the transparent glass wall at the snowy vista outside, a smug smile playing on his lips.
Recalling the overwhelming power he had sensed from Vegito moments earlier, Frieza's expression darkened. His lips curled upward in a sneer as he let out a disdainful snort. "Hmph, Saiyan monkeys! Once my plan is complete, you'll pay dearly for this!"
As he spoke, a flash of malice flickered in his eyes.
With that, Frieza stepped out of the ship and onto the frozen ground.
He wore a black cloak, radiating a powerful aura that remained completely unaffected by the frigid winds.
He strode purposefully toward a hidden location, moving with the confidence of someone intimately familiar with the terrain.
Soon, Frieza arrived at what appeared to be an ordinary cave entrance.
The cave was surrounded by snowdrifts, making it look like just another snow pile.
In reality, this was a secret base concealed beneath the snow and ice.
Frieza warily scanned his surroundings to ensure he was alone before cautiously preparing to enter the cave.
Just as he bent down to slip inside, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, with a hand landing abruptly on his shoulder.
Sensing a familiar aura, Frieza's expression changed instantly. Without hesitation, he fired a laser blast backward.
Whoosh…!
Trunks reacted swiftly, dodging the attack with a fluid motion.
"Yo, Frieza, you're pretty jumpy, huh?"
"Who were you saying you'd make pay the price just now, anyway?"
Trunks taunted Frieza.
Immediately, Frieza stopped entering the cave and gave Trunks a fake smile. "Ho ho ho, Vegeta's son, is it?"
"What's up? Did you need something from this Great King?"
Observing Frieza's strange behavior, Trunks began to pay attention to the cave behind him.
This movement caused Frieza to glance back twice before stepping forward to block Trunks' view.
"It's nothing much. I just need your help with something. Will you help or not?"
Before Frieza could answer, Trunks continued, "There's a Tournament of Power. Simply put, we need to gather ten people, and I need you to participate."
Trunks then explained the entire situation regarding the Tournament of Power to Frieza.
"That's the gist of it. If we lose this tournament, our entire Universe 7 will be erased."
Frieza fell silent, as if he had just heard something earth-shattering.
'An Angel above the God of Destruction? And a King of All above the Angel?'
Dealing with Beerus alone was already a nightmare. Now these even more troublesome gods had appeared.
On top of that, they were planning a Tournament of Power where the losing universes would be erased?
'What in the world is going on?!'
"Have you made up your mind, Frieza? Give me your answer," Trunks urged.
Frieza's mind was still racing.
He desperately wanted the Saiyans dead, that was true.
But if they lost the tournament, he would be erased as well. He clearly weighed the pros and cons.
"Ho ho ho! Very well, then. I, Frieza, the Great King, am willing to lend my strength to Universe 7."
Hearing Frieza's answer, Trunks was satisfied.
At the same time, he planned to tell Frieza about their upcoming training on Planet Beerus.
"We're going to the God Realm, where Lord Beerus resides, for training. Do you want to come with us?"
Of course, Frieza would never agree to such a request.
Putting aside Beerus's volatile temperament, Beerus would undoubtedly order him around, making him lose his pride in front of the Saiyans.
Therefore, Frieza flatly refused, saying, "Tch, no way. You guys go ahead. I, Frieza, have my own methods for getting stronger."
"Are you sure you won't reconsider, Frieza? The God of Destruction and an Angel will personally guide our training. And I'm bringing the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to the God Realm."
To be honest, Frieza's heart trembled slightly when he heard "Hyperbolic Time Chamber."
But in the next moment, he reaffirmed, "Are you annoying me? I said I'm not going, and I mean it."
Seeing this, Trunks realized there was no point in arguing. He had already figured out Frieza's petty pride; he was just being stubborn to save his pride.
Forcing the issue would only backfire, so Trunks gave up. "Alright then," he said. "I'll see you in three days. I'll come pick you up."
With that, Trunks used Instant Transmission and left.
Only Frieza remained, standing there lost in thought.
"So Beerus has finally woken up, huh? Honestly, every time he wakes up, there's always some trouble to deal with."
After confirming that Trunks' energy signature had completely disappeared, Frieza strode back toward the Cave with a confident smirk spreading across his face.
"Hoh hoh hoh... Tournament of Power, eh? Looks like I'll have to win this one."
...
Meanwhile, in the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai had already received a telepathic message from the Great Priest. All the gods in the Sacred World of the Kai were now aware of the situation.
They had barely resolved the Beerus incident when another major crisis struck.
"This... this is truly the end!" Kibito wailed, clutching his head and making exaggerated grimaces.
Kaioshin Xin beside him was equally distraught.
Suddenly, Old Kai smacked both of them on the head.
"Don't panic! Honestly, the tournament hasn't even started yet! There's still a chance to turn things around!"
"Do you doubt the strength of our Universe?" Old Kai scolded.
His gaze immediately shifted to the Grand Supreme Kai standing beside him, who had his back turned to the trio.
The Grand Supreme Kai's composure was remarkably steady, showing no signs of panic or agitation. This deeply impressed Old Kai.
"Hmph! Look at your senior! Learn from him! This is the kind of Kaioshin who can achieve great things!"
Kaioshin Xin looked at the Grand Supreme Kai with admiration, giving him a respectful thumbs-up. "As expected of Grand Supreme Kai! He always remains so calm and composed, even in the face of crisis."
Kaioshin Xin moved closer to the Grand Supreme Kai, but then the unthinkable happened.
This wasn't the Grand Supreme Kai at all; it was Majin Buu!
And far from being calm, the creature had taken composure to the extreme... by falling asleep!
