Frieza as the Target?

"No need!"

Hearing Rhode's voice, Aila's fighting spirit subsided somewhat, and a cold smile appeared on her indifferent face. "Sorry, you gave me a good time, but this battle ends here!"

"What?!"

Yunba had already been taken out by Rhode, and Shimorekka had been gripped by deep fear, not knowing what to do.

Then Rhode's cold voice rang in his ears. Hearing Aila's words now, his eyes widened in fury, and all that remained in his heart was despair.

Shimorekka wanted to beg for mercy, to kneel and plead, but Aila clearly would not give him that chance.

"Be on your way!"

Ignoring the change in Shimorekka's expression, Aila drew her hands back to her waist and assumed the opening stance of the Turtle School Ki Wave. A Kikoho immediately gathered in her palms.

Whoosh!

Just as the Kamehameha reached its peak, Aila's figure vanished in an instant. Looking again, she had already flashed before Shimorekka, and the Kikoho erupted.

"Ahhh—"

With the Kikoho blasting him point-blank, Shimorekka could do nothing but be swallowed by it.

Boom!

Under the impact of the Kikoho, Shimorekka's body broke apart and melted away. Within a few breaths, he vanished completely from this world without leaving a trace.

"Whew!"

After wiping out Shimorekka in one stroke with the Turtle School Ki Wave, Aila let out a long breath.

At this moment, Aila's Battle Suit was in ruins, her body was covered in blood, and her Aura rose and fell erratically. She looked utterly disheveled.

Yet completely at odds with her battered appearance were her sharp, spirited eyes, brimming with Fighting Spirit. Only those eyes showed how deeply this battle had pleased her, body and soul.

That was indeed the case. Ever since leaving Planet Rhyner with Rhode for Earth, she had spent her days constantly training. Especially after a year in the Time Chamber, her desire for battle had been pushed to its limit.

In Aila's eyes, Rhode was certainly an excellent Opponent, but aside from training sparring, whenever she challenged him and he got serious, she would be defeated instantly. Under such circumstances, she simply could not experience the joy and thrill of battle.

Nor could she experience that feeling of walking the line between life and death, becoming intensely exhilarated and growing stronger the longer she fought.

As a Saiyan, Aila had never before gone so long without fighting an enemy in a Fight to the Death.

However, today's battle had finally given Aila, whose strength had soared, a truly satisfying outlet.

Whoosh!

After taking out Shimorekka with a Kikoho followed by Instant Transmission, Aila flashed over to Rhode.

"Did that guy put you under that much pressure?"

Seeing Aila's bright eyes despite her disheveled state, Rhode could not help teasing her.

Faced with Rhode's teasing, Aila unusually did not argue back. She looked slightly guilty. "It's been a long time since I had a real battle, so I played with that guy properly!"

Seeing Rhode's cold expression, Aila's eyes shifted, and she immediately changed the subject. Excitement filled her face as she asked, "Those pirates seem to be part of a group. Are there even stronger people behind them?"

After spending a year in the harsh environment of the Time Chamber and then living peacefully for so long, Aila had improved in more than just strength. Her mental will had also been tempered, and her personality had changed somewhat from before.

In the past, whenever Rhode teased her, Aila would either dismiss it with disdain or immediately retort. Now, she had become much calmer.

Seeing Aila change the subject, Rhode could not be bothered to press the matter. He casually tossed her a Senzu Bean, then shared the information he had obtained with her.

"Is this Saganbo really that strong?"

After hearing Rhode's description of the Saganbo Pirates and seeing the seriousness and faint excitement in his expression, Aila became interested in Saganbo as well.

"He should be very strong. Even if I went all out now, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be his Opponent!"

After a year together in the Time Chamber, Aila knew Rhode's true strength very well. Thus, hearing him say that, she was quite shocked.

"He's that strong?!"

Aila had originally thought that, having risen from a Power Level of just over two thousand to her current level of several hundred thousand, she would not even need to take Frieza seriously.

But now she learned that such powerful beings existed in the universe—beings whom even Rhode could not defeat at full strength.

However, as her horizons broadened and she saw a wider world, especially after being instantly defeated by Rhode so often, Aila came to understand that this world was far more mysterious and unfathomable than she had imagined.

Thus, although she remained proud at heart, her arrogant and overconfident nature had tempered considerably.

After a year of training, what Aila thought about and pursued was constantly surpassing herself and fighting even stronger Opponents.

"The universe is vast. A terrifying existence could emerge from some remote corner at any time. That's nothing unusual."

Even though Saganbo was someone inferior even to King Cold, Rhode did not have much fear of him, even if he could not defeat him yet.

After all, as a Transmigrator, his goal was Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, gods, angels, and realms and powers beyond even those.

Because he knew more, Rhode's ambitions were simply beyond comparison to those people huddled away in some corner of the universe.

Rhode had complete confidence that he could surpass them in the shortest possible time and leave them far behind.

Hearing Rhode's words, Aila suddenly thought of something. She could not help looking at him, confusion between her brows. "If Saganbo has such power, then what about Frieza, the 'Galactic Emperor'?"

Aila's words were filled with doubt toward Frieza. Although she knew King Cold was also powerful, she had no concrete understanding of just how powerful he was.

Thus, hearing about the many powerful beings in the universe, Aila instantly felt that Frieza's title of "Galactic Emperor" was rather undeserved.

Seeing Aila doubt Frieza's strength, Rhode shook his head and said seriously, "The Frieza we saw indeed only had a Power Level of five hundred thirty thousand, but he was hiding a hundred million or so more!"

He truly was hiding a hundred million or so more. What Frieza showed others did not even amount to a fraction of his real power.

"Hiding some power?"

Aila pondered those words and could not help thinking, Even if he hid some power, how much could it possibly be?

"What, do you want to make a move against Frieza?"

Seeing the indifference in Aila's expression, Rhode raised an eyebrow and guessed what she was thinking.

Although Aila's Power Level was now around six hundred thousand, and she had learned how to train and improved her control over her own strength, dealing with Frieza in his hover chair would not be a problem.

However, the key was that Frieza's true power far surpassed that form. They were not on the same level at all.

"My current strength has already surpassed Frieza's. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, Frieza has never trained either, right?"

At this point, seeing Rhode nod, confidence immediately filled Aila's face. "In that case, wouldn't attacking him and taking him out be as a matter of course?"

"You're right!"

Facing Aila's confident declaration and seeing how eager she was to try, Rhode did not refute her. He even agreed with what she said.

In truth, Aila was not the only one who wanted to make a move against Frieza. Rhode, who knew Frieza's true power, also wanted to test whether his current strength could instantly defeat Frieza in his hover chair.
