"No."
Sensing the Ki in the sky, a flash of inspiration went through Vegeta's mind.
Frieza's combat power was indeed 120 million.
But even in his final form, he couldn't unleash his full strength.
"I... I haven't lost yet!"
The Kaio-ken that had dissipated earlier surged again. Using 15x Kaio-ken twice in a row put a great burden on Vegeta's body, but as long as he wasn't dead, it was all worth it.
Besides, he still had a Senzu Bean in his hand.
"The intensity of the Ki is similar to Kakarot's..., but it's more condensed."
"Is it a combat power of 60 million?"
Before the smoke could clear, Vegeta transformed into a white light and charged in.
The powerful Ki instantly opened a hole in the smoke-shrouded area.
"Die, Frieza!"
Compared to Frieza, who needed to use his eyes to locate enemies, Vegeta was already very skilled at sensing Ki.
In the sky.
Boom!
The sound of a collision suddenly reverberated.
Instantly, a powerful current of air blew away the swirling dust.
Leaving only the punching Vegeta and another white figure.
"Oh ho ho ho~ Vegeta, you still have the courage to throw a punch, how admirable!"
The speaker's voice carried a hint of disdain.
Vegeta's fist was firmly grasped by the opponent's hand.
"Frieza!"
Seeing the short-legged figure in front of him, mostly white with a head even smoother than Nappa's.
Vegeta did not feel fear.
With Kaio-ken, he had close to 50 million combat power. Although he might not be able to fully unleash it, the gap between him and the current Frieza was not completely insurmountable.
Vegeta, whose fist was held by Frieza, raised his other hand, condensing a golden Ki Blast in his palm.
"Die!"
However, Frieza simply reached out and gripped the Ki Blast Vegeta was throwing at him.
"Vegeta, are you surprised?"
With a slight squeeze of his palm, the Ki Blast was instantly crushed.
Frieza curled his lips, his slit-like vertical pupils scrutinizing Vegeta.
"I, who should have been injured, appeared before you completely unharmed, and even my severed arm has recovered."
"Hmph, that kind of thing doesn't matter."
Vegeta raised his leg and kicked Frieza.
"Too slow."
Frieza spun 360 degrees, sweeping his tail.
With a "bang."
Vegeta flew backward, a red mark appearing on his face.
"Ugh—"
Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Vegeta stopped himself.
At this moment, he finally had time to examine Frieza's appearance carefully.
Compared to his previous forms, Frieza's final form, though small in stature, exuded an extremely terrifying oppressive aura. Moreover, Frieza's various injuries, even the arm severed by the Destructo Disc, had completely recovered.
What kind of transformation could completely repair a severed arm? This was pure cheating.
Vegeta vaguely sensed that the Ki Frieza needed to consume to repair his body through transformation was not low.
However, because he couldn't force out Frieza's full power, Frieza appeared completely unharmed.
It was like 120 million becoming 110 million; it was meaningless.
After all, Frieza was currently only exerting about 60 million of his strength, similar to Kakarot.
"Vegeta, I'm very curious. You said you're not a Super Saiyan, but where did you learn to unleash this power? Did you secretly go to Earth?" Frieza chuckled.
Frieza, in his final form, was in no hurry.
"What does it matter to you where I learned it? You wouldn't think I'd be a fool and continue to serve you, would you?"
"Pah~" Vegeta spat.
"How unlovable, Vegeta," Frieza shook his head. "It's rare for me to see a Saiyan with your strength, but you actually refused."
The Ginyu Force was likely gone, plus Dodoria and the others.
Frieza's high command was basically wiped out.
If Vegeta was willing to submit, Frieza wouldn't mind taking him back under his command.
As for Super Saiyan, had Frieza ever been afraid of it?
The experience on Namek also gave Frieza a wake-up call.
He needed to train.
Frieza had never been weaker than anyone in his life. So what if it was a Super Saiyan?
"Speaking of which, Vegeta, I'm quite fond of your sister, oh right, I think her name is Beryl, right? It's a pity, I clearly told Captain Ginyu to bring her back."
"It's just..." Frieza's face showed a hint of regret, "I didn't expect her to resist so fiercely. Even Captain Ginyu of the Ginyu Force couldn't do anything but blow up the planet."
"Heh heh, Frieza, the culprit behind the destruction of Planet Vegeta, and you still want us siblings to be your dogs? Aren't you being too presumptuous?"
Frieza merely chuckled at the remark: "Vegeta, don't be angry yet."
"Since you have such strength, I'll tell you something. The destruction of Planet Vegeta wasn't my decision. At least in the short term, I wouldn't wipe out the Saiyans who work hard for me."
"What!?"
Vegeta was startled by the news, "What do you mean?"
"Think about King Vegeta, what has he done? I mean, the people he offended."
"Off... offended?"
Vegeta's mind buzzed, completely unaware of what Frieza was implying.
Could there be a deeper reason for the destruction of Planet Vegeta?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Vegeta, don't listen to Frieza's nonsense. It's best not to know the truth about Planet Vegeta's destruction. Knowing too much at your current strength won't do you any good."]
In his mind, the Group Leader's message suddenly appeared.
"Private message, huh..."
Vegeta glanced at the public screen; there was no related information on it.
But this message had indeed appeared.
Vegeta took a deep breath. No matter what Frieza said, he still chose to trust the Group Leader.
"Frieza, I don't care who the mastermind behind Planet Vegeta's destruction is. I only know that you did it, and that's enough."
Saying that, Vegeta attacked Frieza again.
"Hmph, indeed a simple-minded monkey. Even if your combat power has increased, your brain capacity is still the same."
"Forget it."
Vegeta's punches were extremely fast, yet Frieza easily dodged them.
Frieza looked at Vegeta, who was continuously attacking him, and sneered, "If a subordinate like you were to return to me, I'm afraid I'd worry about the overall IQ of my Frieza Force being lowered."
Good heavens!
Hearing Frieza's malicious words, a vein popped out on Vegeta's forehead.
There wasn't a single 'dirty' word in his mouth, but everything he said was demeaning.
"Don't look down on me!"
Vegeta clasped his hands together, and a giant Ki Blast shot out.
"Super Flash!"
Terrifying light blotted out the sky.
The enormous energy beam created a crackling sound as it frictioned with the air.
"A monkey is a monkey. If you can't hit me, it's meaningless."
As the Ki Blast was about to hit Frieza, Frieza unleashed his full power, a layer of white Ki surrounding him.
With a "whoosh!", Frieza left an afterimage on the spot, sweeping over the Ki Blast.
He arrived behind Vegeta at an incredibly fast speed.
A heavy punch.
Boom!
"Ugh—"
A mouthful of crimson blood spurted out, and Vegeta fell straight from the sky, slamming heavily into the ground.
Frieza looked down at the large crater on the ground and said coldly, "No matter how strong you become, you're still just my dog. I'm tired of playing now."
"Vegeta, I'm sending you to reunite with your dead father now."
Frieza raised his right hand.
An energy ball slowly condensed in his palm.
