"No. 17? Strange name, but you don't seem that old. It's normal to be a little arrogant at your age when you have this kind of Battle Power."
Frieza's yin-yang energy returned; he crossed his arms and said with a smile.
No. 17 was completely baffled; where had he shown any arrogance?
He actually reached out and patted Frieza on the head, saying,
"Hey shorty, you don't even look like an adult yet, but you talk like a little adult!"
No. 17's actions and tone terrified Frieza's men; all they could think about was...
"This planet is doomed!"
Sure enough, after hearing "little guy" twice and receiving a head pat, Frieza couldn't hold back any longer and roared...
"You arrogant bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
The ground beneath Frieza's feet suddenly cracked open, and a purple aura rose from his body. In his rage, he instantly raised his first form's aura to its maximum.
However, this power might only fool Goku and the others now. No. 17's black hair was blown backward, but he still looked relaxed and didn't take the angry Frieza seriously at all.
Frieza's eyes widened suddenly, and two beams of purple light shot out from them, striking No. 17 in the chest and tearing two holes in his t-shirt.
No. 17 finally frowned, and said with a displeased expression,
"Hey, I wore this new outfit to the party! You're making me really angry!"
Frieza was stunned by No. 17's defensive prowess. His attack had been incredibly penetrating, yet it only managed to tear two holes in the kid's clothes?
While Frieza was still stunned, No. 17 flew up and "lightly" kicked him in the stomach.
"Wow!"
A large spurt of purple blood gushed from Frieza's mouth, and he collapsed in front of No. 17, panting heavily.
This was the first time his men had seen Frieza suffer a setback, and they all shouted in unison.
"King Frieza!"
No. 17 curled his lip and said,
"What 'King' stuff? That sounds so vulgar!"
Hearing No. 17's taunts, Frieza, lying on the ground, wanted nothing more than to tear him apart, but that kick had indeed severely injured him, almost killing him on the spot.
Seeing that Frieza didn't react, No. 17 simply squatted down in front of Frieza, rested his chin on his hand, and said...
"My brother-in-law said you're quite capable, and you really are. Hey, you've really disappointed me, you know?"
Frieza, who had never suffered such humiliation, jumped up from the ground upon hearing this. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a grim face,
"I admit you're pretty strong, but aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Let me tell you, I haven't even used one percent of my power yet!"
He wasn't exaggerating; his Battle Power in his ultimate form exceeded 100 million. Considering that, what he said was actually a conservative estimate.
No. 17 said with a surprised look,
"Is that so? But according to my calculations, even if your strength were multiplied a hundredfold, you still wouldn't be a match for me!"
"What?! There's a limit to how much you can brag! You damned Earthling!"
Frieza didn't believe No. 17 at all. In his opinion, aside from destroying anyone and Majin Buu, his final form was definitely the strongest in the universe!
He couldn't wait to see the fear on No. 17's face later.
Frieza jolted, tearing apart his cumbersome Battle Suit and detectors. He then took a deep breath, preparing for his transformation.
No. 17 got up from the ground, crossed his arms, and prepared to watch Frieza's performance.
The naked Frieza gritted his teeth, determined to ascend directly to his final form in one go. Since he hadn't activated this form in a long time, he was struggling terribly, looking as if he were constipated.
However, his aura did begin to surge at an astonishing rate, and a purple spherical shield enveloped his body, the energy fluctuations emanating from it darkening the sky.
No. 18 was unhappy; she shouted at No. 17.
"No. 17! What are you doing? Hurry up and take care of that guy! Honestly, he's ruined such a nice day!"
Seeing her sister get angry, No. 17 immediately snapped to attention and quickly said,
"Okay, sister! I'll get right away..."
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and countless cracks appeared on the purple shield enveloping Frieza. Then, the shield shattered into countless fragments, revealing Frieza inside.
He had entered his final form, and the expression on his face was incredibly calm, giving off a feeling of absolute certainty of victory.
However, a single sentence from No. 17 broke his defenses once again.
"I didn't know you could transform! But you don't seem to have changed in height at all; you're still so tiny, it's kind of cute!"
Frieza looked up and met No. 17's gaze, speaking slowly and deliberately.
You will pay the price for what you said.
No. 17 shrugged and said,
"Then I'll wait and see."
After a brief silence, Frieza suddenly leaped up and hurled a purple energy blast at No. 17. No. 17 simply waved his hand, sending the energy blast soaring into the sky.
The explosions in the sky made Frieza's face grow even uglier. Unconvinced, he hurled several more energy blasts at No. 17, but without exception, they were all blasted high into the sky by No. 17.
In an instant, the entire sky was dyed purple. The bewildered crowd in the city, upon seeing this, immediately realized...
"The Capsule Corp is really rich; they set off fireworks in broad daylight."
However, what they didn't know was that any one of those "fireworks" could raze the city to the ground in an instant.
Seeing that his energy blasts were ineffective, Frieza simply charged straight at No. 17, intending to engage him in close-quarters combat.
However, on the No. 17, in order not to affect her sister's mood, she did not immediately respond to the attack, but instead dodged it and flew into the sky.
Frieza followed closely behind, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the clouds, followed by a series of booming collisions.
The Z Warriors gazed solemnly at the sky, while No. 18 carefully placed a piece of grilled meat near Senga's lips and asked softly,
"Senga, how's my grilled food? It might not be as good as the one on the No. 17..."
Senga took a big bite and then gave No. 18 a big thumbs up.
"Great! Perfectly ripe, my No. 18 is really fantastic!"
No. 18 blushed and was about to speak when a petite figure suddenly fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground—it was Frieza.
