The golden aura emanating from Goku's body shot straight up into the sky.
Even Frieza, who couldn't sense ki, felt a sense of dread.
"Is this a Super Saiyan?"
He was very likely no match now; to deal with such an enemy, he would probably have to go all out.
"Frieza, you just killed Chiaotzu and Krillin. Both died once already and cannot be revived by the Dragon Balls anymore. You... are unforgivable!"
"How ridiculous, Son Goku!"
Frieza sneered, "In a battle to the death, isn't it all about using every trick available?"
"It's a pity I couldn't kill that little brat who looks so much like you."
"He... is your son, isn't he?"
No sooner had Frieza finished speaking.
An intense stinging pain shot through his abdomen.
"Ugh—!"
He spat out a mouthful of sour liquid.
"How is this possible?!"
He was punched hundreds of meters away.
Frieza clutched his stomach with his hand, coughing violently.
Before he could react, Goku had already appeared behind him.
The stinging pain in his neck returned.
Frieza plummeted directly from high in the sky.
He crashed hard into the ground, creating a crater dozens of meters wide.
"Your power has increased so much, this is unscientific!"
He clearly only had a few million combat power, and with that Kaio-ken, he unleashed power comparable to his own.
Yet, this so-called Super Saiyan suddenly surpassed him.
"Damn it."
Frieza climbed up from the ground and, with his only remaining hand, twisted his neck back into place with a'snap'.
Meanwhile, Goku had already descended to the ground.
Frieza's face was distorted with rage as he roared, "You damned wild monkey, don't push your luck!"
With a 'whoosh'.
Frieza launched an attack on Goku.
Violent, raging energy suddenly permeated the air.
"This... I don't believe it."
Frieza's eyes widened, his face twisted in disbelief.
His heavy fist was easily gripped by the opponent's single hand.
"Is this all you've got? Emperor of the Universe Frieza, you still have power you haven't used, right? I remember your full power is 120 million, is this all there is?" Goku's voice was cold and calm.
"You say this is all I've got... you, you!"
Goku released Frieza's fist, and Frieza staggered backward, his face contorted as if he wanted to devour the opponent whole.
"Hmph, my power is certainly not just this." Frieza suppressed the anger in his heart, "However, my power is too strong, and I need time to adapt."
"If you're not afraid, you can wait a few minutes for me."
"Alright, I'll wait for you to unleash your full power, then I'll finish you off." The Super Saiyan Goku became even more arrogant compared to his usual self.
"Hahahahaha, I will not disappoint you."
Frieza retreated a few more steps, moving further away from Goku, as if doing so would make him feel safer.
The aura surrounding Frieza began to slowly climb as Frieza charged his power.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!"
"Fifty percent... sixty percent... seventy percent..."
Minute by minute, the ki around Frieza grew stronger and stronger.
However, Goku didn't care; instead, he spread out his ki sense to check on everyone's status.
"Gohan is still alive, hmm...? Piccolo's ki has increased." A hint of surprise appeared on Goku's face.
"Heheheh... Are you surprised? This isn't even my full power yet, it'll take a little longer, you'll have to wait a little longer."
Seeing the surprise on Goku's face, Frieza grinned, and the muscles all over his body rapidly expanded.
"Eighty percent... eighty-five percent..."
Goku didn't explain Frieza's misunderstanding.
"Piccolo is still alive, so the Dragon Balls are fine, and his strength... Gohan is safe there too."
Thinking of this, Goku continued to extend his perception, searching for those who were still alive.
"Only Vegeta, then..."
"Hmm?"
Vegeta's ki was very faint, but extremely stable.
He wasn't sure what was going on, but from what he could perceive, Vegeta wouldn't die.
He still had a Senzu Bean on him.
After clearly perceiving all the situations, Goku's gaze returned to Frieza's location.
At this moment, Frieza's combat power exceeded 100 million and was still rapidly rising.
Frieza's originally slender muscles were now terrifyingly swollen, with veins bulging.
A massive aura, with crackling lightning, surrounded Frieza.
On the other side of the battlefield.
In Vegeta's mental world.
"Oh my... Vegeta, you're here again." Looking at Vegeta, who stood bewildered in the mental space, the white-haired loli's face showed a helpless expression.
"Sister, I..."
"I know, you're about to die, right? You're really something, having your limbs broken and your heart pierced."
"Can't you take it easy?"
Beryl sighed,
"I'm telling you, this is the last time. The mental projection I've placed here can only help you one last time. That means after this, the pendant will completely turn into an ordinary ornament."
"I'm sorry."
Vegeta was also a bit dejected.
He didn't know where his sister was now, but she still cared for him, her younger brother.
To be honest, most Saiyans were quite indifferent to family ties.
His sister was an anomaly.
Seeing Vegeta's dejected expression, Beryl said indifferently, "Isn't it just Frieza? You only lost once, just turn into a Super Saiyan and fight back."
"Super Saiyan?"
"Is there a need to be so surprised?" Beryl shrugged, "You're only one step away from transforming. By the way, Kakarot has already taken the first step and become a Super Saiyan."
"What, Kakarot so fast?!"
A mere low-class warrior, becoming a Super Saiyan faster than him, a Saiyan royal.
This, he was completely outdone.
"Compared to defeating Frieza, you care more about Kakarot?" Beryl couldn't help but retort.
"No, just a little surprised." Vegeta feigned indifference, "How do you know what's happening outside?"
"Of course, I have my ways." Beryl waved her hand, "That's not important. I'm going to teach you the trick to transforming into a Super Saiyan."
"Transformation trick?" Vegeta paused, then asked as if reacting, "When did you become a Super Saiyan?"
"Many years ago."
She didn't give Vegeta a chance to continue speaking.
A wisp of golden light flew from Beryl's fingertip and quickly merged into Vegeta's forehead.
"This... what is this?!"
He felt that in his mental space, or rather, in his mind, some things about Super Saiyan had been added.
"Super Saiyan, and there are even further advancements?!"
Vegeta's eyes were dull, losing their luster in shock.
"Clap clap ~ Snap out of it, snap out of it."
Beryl clapped her hands, using the sound to interrupt Vegeta's thoughts, then spoke;
"Vegeta, this is the last time. So that you don't just get killed easily, I'll tell you the advancement process for Super Saiyan 1, 2, and 3."
"All the experiences I've understood will also be imprinted."
"Sister, what stage have you reached now?"
Vegeta recovered, looking at Beryl, who only had the appearance of a little girl, and asked.
