Bardock's Outburst

The ambition to dominate the universe shattered at the slightest touch. Facing Frieza, who loomed over the Saiyans, King Vegeta was filled with resentment and fury.

At this moment, King Vegeta lay unable to move. Seeing Frieza completely unharmed, nothing remained on his face but despair.

But when he thought of his genius son, Vegeta, his expression twisted viciously as he cursed Frieza. "Frieza, one day, you will be defeated by us Saiyans!"

"Ho ho ho ho! You mean that so-called genius son of yours, Vegeta?"

Hearing King Vegeta's curse, Frieza could not help laughing. He did not regard Vegeta, that so-called genius, as worthy of notice.

A Power Level barely over ten thousand was not even a fraction of a fraction of his own.

A genius?

What a joke!

"King Vegeta, let me tell you a secret. Do you know what my Power Level is?"

Seeing that merely mentioning Vegeta had made King Vegeta's life force surge again, Frieza spoke to him with great interest.

For some reason, Frieza's words filled King Vegeta with unease and fear. He instinctively asked, "How much?"

Seeing the unease and fear on King Vegeta's face, Frieza felt an extraordinary sense of pleasure. Then he spoke with a smile.

"My Power Level is... five hundred and thirty thousand!"

"W-What?!"

At that moment, upon hearing Frieza's words, the critically injured King Vegeta could no longer spare a thought for pain or death. His mind was filled only with Frieza's despair-inducing Power Level.

A Power Level of 530,000!!!

How could a monster like that exist in this world?

Even if a Super Saiyan truly existed, its Power Level probably could not compare to that monster's!

In King Vegeta's understanding, a Power Level over ten thousand was already remarkable. With more than one hundred thousand after transforming into a Great Ape, he had dared to proclaim his ambition to dominate the universe.

Perhaps every planetary native he had encountered had been weaklings, and perhaps he had never truly witnessed retired King Cold's fighting form. That was likely why his understanding of power had become so distorted.

King Vegeta fell into deep despair. In his eyes, even a genius like Vegeta could never surpass that Power Level in his entire life.

"Ho ho ho ho! King Vegeta, watch Planet Vegeta be destroyed with your own eyes!"

Ignoring King Vegeta's despair, Frieza did not finish him off directly. Instead, he rose into the air in his hover pod while ordering the Force's Fighters to kill every Saiyan.

Frieza wanted King Vegeta to watch his planet's destruction with his own eyes, powerless to stop it!

The order was given, and the Frieza Force Fighters immediately rushed in all directions like rabid dogs, beginning a massacre of the Saiyans.

For a time, the Saiyans, who had once rampaged across the universe, slaughtered natives, and made their living selling planets, became like those they had once mercilessly exterminated. Before the Frieza Force, they died one after another, helpless and powerless.

In the residential district, Bardock had been worrying about Frieza's scheme. The instant he heard fighting erupt, he rushed outside, only to be attacked by the approaching Dodoria as soon as he stepped out.

"It's you!"

The moment he saw Dodoria, one of Frieza's generals, Bardock's face darkened. His worries had come true.

"Oh?"

The moment Dodoria saw Bardock, he recognized him.

Among the Saiyans, Bardock was fairly well-known. Moreover, when Dodoria had arrived not long ago, he had just killed Bardock's squad members.

As a result, Dodoria's impression of him was even deeper.

"Those teammates of yours were calling your name before they died, Bardock!"

Glancing at the Power Level displayed on his Scouter, Dodoria deliberately provoked him, not taking him seriously at all.

"What?!"

Hearing Dodoria's words, Bardock recalled how Tora's communication had abruptly cut off when he returned to Planet Vegeta. Rage instantly consumed him. In a flash, he closed in and drove a fist at Dodoria's fat face.

Bang!

However, just as Bardock's fist was about to strike Dodoria's face, Dodoria raised a hand and caught it. He then exerted force and viciously hurled Bardock toward the ground.

Boom!

The ground caved in, instantly forming a huge crater. Several of Bardock's ribs broke from the impact, making his face twitch in pain, yet he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

"You've got some backbone!"

Dodoria was somewhat surprised by Bardock's reaction.

He had not expected this low-class Saiyan warrior to possess such extraordinary strength, nor such tough bones.

Boom boom boom!

As Bardock and Dodoria fought, other Frieza Soldiers arrived as well and began indiscriminately bombarding the residential district.

"Stop it!"

The screams of his people reached his ears, and Bardock's rage exploded. Energy surged through his body as he broke free of Dodoria's control, shot forward in an instant, and smashed apart a soldier who had been excitedly firing away.

Whoosh!

After killing one, Bardock flashed before another Fighter who was causing massive destruction. Striking in fury, he punched him into the earth, leaving his fate unknown.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Bardock struck again and again. Within only a few breaths, the Frieza Soldiers bombarding the residential district were either dead or injured.

"Bastard! I'm your Opponent!"

Seeing Bardock unleash his power and the soldiers suffer heavy losses, Dodoria flew into a rage and hurried forward to suppress him.

If the Force suffered such severe losses under his command, King Frieza would certainly blame him. He would be in for a terrible time afterward!

Bang!

Just as Bardock was about to continue attacking, Dodoria stopped him.

Although Bardock's rage had caused his strength to erupt, Dodoria's original Power Level was more than twice his. He still had the power to suppress him.

Bang bang bang!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Having resolved to kill Bardock, Dodoria no longer held back. Every strike was a heavy blow.

Yet what surprised Dodoria—and even made panic rise in his heart—was that Bardock was actually growing stronger the longer they fought!

At first, he had been able to suppress him, but in only a short while, he began to struggle.

"Die!"

Realizing he had to end this quickly, Dodoria immediately raised his power to the maximum. He knocked Bardock back with one move, then gathered an Energy Blast, intending to finish him in a single strike.

However, just as Dodoria's Energy Blast was about to hit Bardock and kill him in one blow, a figure suddenly rushed over and stood between Bardock and Dodoria!

That person was none other than Bardock's wife, Gine.

Earlier, after Bardock's outburst and his successive killing of Frieza Soldiers, Gine and the other Logistics Personnel had hidden once they were safe. But they had continued watching Bardock's battle.

Seeing Bardock in danger, Gine rushed out instinctively.

"Gine!!!"

Seeing Gine suddenly block the way before him and sensing Dodoria's terrifying attack, Bardock's pupils contracted. His soul trembled, and unprecedented power erupted from his body.

Whoosh!

Bang!

As Bardock's power erupted, he flashed forward and appeared in front of Gine, raising a hand to slap away Dodoria's fatal blow.

"W-What?!"

Seeing his nearly full-power attack swatted away, and looking at Bardock's bloodshot eyes and vein-bulging face, Dodoria could not stop fear from rising in his heart.
