"It really has been a long time, Frieza. I wonder… has your fear of Super Saiyans improved at all?"
Zeru glanced sideways at him, a faint smile on his face.
He was clearly reopening old wounds.
As expected, the fake smile on Frieza's face instantly vanished. His expression turned dark and twisted, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Zeru withdrew his gaze.
That brief look—
Had already revealed everything.
Frieza's current Power levels were laid bare before him.
First Form: 500 million.
Second Form: 5 billion.
Third Form: 50 billion.
Final Form: 500 billion.
And—
Silver Form, First Stage: 1 trillion.
Just as Zeru had expected—
Silver Form didn't stop there.
Second Stage: 10 trillion.
Third Stage: 100 trillion.
Final Stage: 10 quadrillion… no—
10,000 trillion.
"Hmm… so his peak reaches 10,000 trillion… that's… 10,000 trillion, or 10 quadrillion in total power."
Zeru showed a hint of surprise.
Honestly, he hadn't expected Frieza to reach this level.
That was already near the peak of this stage of power.
Even Zeru himself, in Super Saiyan 4 with an 8000× multiplier, only reached around 28,000 trillion.
Before evolving into an Ultimate Saiyan—
He would've only had around 14,000 trillion.
Which meant—
Frieza was only slightly below that.
It was terrifying talent.
No wonder this guy could reach Super Saiyan Blue level in just a few months in the original timeline.
But—
Even so—
Zeru still didn't take him seriously.
To others, 10,000 trillion was monstrous.
To Zeru—
It was just a slightly stronger insect.
"Monkey! This time… I will have my revenge!"
Frieza's voice was icy.
"I admit you've gotten stronger," Zeru replied calmly. "But in my eyes, you're still nothing more than a bug. Killing you would take less than a second."
His tone—
Was casual.
Too casual.
Exactly as Zeru intended.
Frieza's eyes turned blood-red.
His hatred deepened instantly.
"Bastard! You're too arrogant! Do you think I'm still the same as before?! I'll show you—Frieza is still the emperor of the universe!"
He was shaking with rage.
To him—
Only tearing Zeru apart would satisfy his fury.
"Why… is Frieza so much stronger than before?!"
Vegeta's face turned pale as he sensed Frieza's aura.
Previously, he hadn't feared him much.
But now—
This power…
It made even him tremble.
"You know him?" Goku asked.
"Frieza is the emperor of evil. The entire universe was under his rule. The Saiyans… worked for him."
Vegeta's voice was cold.
"I've always suspected… he destroyed Planet Vegeta."
Goku fell silent.
Meanwhile—
Zeru stepped forward, flying toward Frieza.
"Enough talk."
He stopped a hundred meters away, rolling his neck slightly.
Then—
He curled his fingers.
A beckoning gesture.
His voice, calm and indifferent, reached Frieza:
"Come. Let's begin."
Simple words.
Casual tone.
But to Frieza—
It was humiliation.
It was as if—
He was nothing.
Just something to be crushed at will.
"RAAAAH!!!"
Frieza roared.
Boom!
Mid-charge—
He transformed into his final form.
500 billion power surged.
His fist shot forward, tearing through the air.
Boom!
Zeru responded instantly.
Super Saiyan 1.
35 trillion power.
Punch—
Bang!!!
There was no comparison.
Frieza was sent flying instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
His ultimate form—
Wasn't even worth a single punch.
"Frieza, your final form isn't enough."
Zeru appeared again, grabbing him by the head.
"You've got a new form, don't you? Show me this 'Silver Form' of yours."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Punch after punch crashed into Frieza's skull.
He blacked out—
Then woke from the pain—
Only to hear Zeru's mocking voice again.
Double humiliation.
Bang!
Another punch sent him flying.
"Ghhh…!"
Frieza stabilized himself midair, trembling.
Then—
Something snapped.
"Bastard…!"
"I'll kill you… I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
His aura exploded.
Boom!!!
Blinding silver light engulfed him.
1 trillion…
10 trillion…
100 trillion…
His power skyrocketed.
Finally—
It stabilized at around 120 trillion.
Silver Form—First Stage, Peak.
The light faded.
Frieza stood there, now clad in gleaming silver, his entire body radiating terrifying power.
His face twisted with madness.
"YOU BASTARD!!!"
"I WILL KILL YOU!!!"
His roar echoed across the sky—
Over and over—
Filled with absolute hatred.
