Uchiha Hiko had already angered King Kai, and since King Kai knew his strength, he would go all out from the start.
Hiko's current ki was already comparable to when he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
He should have been able to defeat early-stage Frieza. Yet now he was being crushed by King Kai—didn't that mean King Kai was far stronger than he remembered?
And that was indeed the case. Among the gods, the ranking went from God King to the God of Destruction and Great Kaioshin, then Kaioshin, followed by Grand Kai, King Kai, the King of Hell, and the Heavenly God, with the lesser gods below them.
Logically speaking, even peak Golden Frieza was only about as strong as Son Goku in his god-form Super Saiyan Blue state.
Below that were nine more forms. In other words, Frieza's Super Saiyan 4 was roughly comparable to Son Goku's first-stage Super Saiyan.
When he had first fought Son Goku, he had only been at Super Saiyan 3. Uchiha Hiko was currently as strong as a first-stage Super Saiyan, yet he could not defeat a King Kai. That meant a King Kai's strength was rather terrifying, definitely surpassing the average Super Saiyan.
But no matter how strong he was, he could not surpass Super Saiyan 2.
Because when Son Goku had fought Cell as a Super Saiyan 2, Cell's self-destruction had been triggered, and Son Goku had used Teleportation to bring him into the Realm of the Kings of Worlds.
King Kai had been blown to death by Cell, who was only around that level.
So, measured in terms of power, King Kai fell somewhere between first-stage Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Second Stage.
It seemed he had underestimated King Kai after all. Yet at that moment, aside from the trickles
