The Last Warrior

"Beep beep beep~"

Just then, the Scouter by Dodoria's ear suddenly sounded, followed immediately by Frieza's order to retreat.

Whew~

Upon receiving King Frieza's retreat order, Dodoria breathed a sigh of relief, but his nerves tightened at the same time.

Casting a terrified glance at Bardock, who had unleashed all his power, Dodoria did not dare say another word. His Aura erupted as he turned and fled, wishing he had a few more legs.

Bang!

However, the moment Dodoria moved, a roar rang out by his ear. Before he could fly very far, Bardock overtook him and blocked his path.

Having caught up to Dodoria, Bardock said nothing. He struck cleanly and decisively, kicking him back to the ground.

Boom!

Dodoria's fat pink body crashed into the ground, instantly caving it in. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he was injured.

"Dammit!"

In the deep crater, Dodoria ignored his injuries and hurriedly climbed to his feet. Seeing Bardock rush over and block his way, his eyes filled with shock and fury.

Yet shock and fury were only part of it. Far more apparent on Dodoria's face now was intense fear.

He was shocked by how much Bardock's strength had suddenly increased, and furious that Bardock was risking his life to block his escape.

As for his fear?

Dodoria was not afraid of the powerful strength Bardock was displaying. He was afraid of the retreat order that had come through the communicator.

Frieza had decided to act personally. If he remained on this planet, he would surely die!

Anxious, Dodoria did not continue fighting Bardock after getting up. Instead, he immediately fled for his life again.

Continuing to fight Bardock at a time like this would have been the most unwise thing possible.

Hmm?

Dodoria's actions calmed the unusually excited Bardock somewhat, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

Though Bardock was growing stronger the more he fought and had reached the point where he could contend with, even suppress, Dodoria, he was still far from being able to crush him completely—let alone scare him into fleeing desperately.

Something must have happened!

A powerful sense of unease surged within him. Watching Dodoria flee madly, Bardock realized this guy must know something.

Bang!

Power surged wildly as his blazing Aura grew more and more fierce. Bardock fixed his eyes on Dodoria and immediately gave chase.

Whoosh!

Within a few breaths, driven by overwhelming fury and intense unease, Bardock blocked Dodoria's path again.

"Bastard! Get out of my way!"

Seeing Bardock blocking his path, Dodoria was both furious and anxious as he attacked in rage.

Yet after only two exchanges, Dodoria's pupils suddenly contracted. His expression changed drastically as he jerked his head up toward the sky.

Seeing Dodoria's reaction, Bardock instinctively looked up as well.

But the sight before him made his eyes nearly split apart. Frieza had already made his move!

At that moment, an Energy Blast containing immense destructive power covered the sky, filling his entire vision as it descended toward Planet Vegeta.

"No!!!"

Seeing the boundless Planet Destructo Disc, so enormous that it made one feel incomparably small, Bardock no longer had time to worry about Dodoria. He shot into the sky and charged toward the Planet Destructo Disc, determined to stop the Energy Blast from reaching the ground.

With such terrifying energy contained within it, if it struck Planet Vegeta, the planet would surely become dust in the universe!

At that moment, as the Planet Destructo Disc gradually descended and everyone felt the energy capable of destroying everything, even the Saiyans—known for their brutality and love of battle—lost their will to fight. Their faces were filled with despair.

Faced with power they could not possibly resist, everyone wore expressions of death as they accepted their fate—the fate of the Saiyans: extinction.

However, just as most Saiyans chose to accept their fate of annihilation, a figure cloaked in blazing white Aura shot into the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

That was Bardock, a low-class warrior among the Saiyans, and something of an oddity among them.

At that moment, he stepped forward. He stood before everyone, charging into the sky and toward the Energy Blast capable of destroying everything.

He would use his own strength to resist that world-destroying power, to resist the Saiyans' fate of extinction!

"Frieza!!!"

Facing the unparalleled Planet Destructo Disc, Bardock's Aura burned even more fiercely as he desperately unleashed his strongest attack.

I can do it!

I have to do it!

Unprecedented power surged from Bardock's body. His Energy Blast continuously expanded as it collided with Frieza's Planet Destructo Disc.

However, no matter how fiercely Bardock's desire to save them burned, no matter how unprecedented the power that surged from his body, the gap in absolute strength remained despairing.

His all-out attack, empowered by strength he had never possessed before, vanished completely without creating much of a ripple against the Planet Destructo Disc. It could not even slow its descent in the slightest.

At that moment, Bardock stared at the continuously descending Planet Destructo Disc, his eyes filled with endless fury, yet he had no power whatsoever to stop it all.

Sizzle!

The instant he touched the Planet Destructo Disc, his flesh vaporized, and his body began to disappear.

"Bardock!"

At the final moment of his life, Bardock heard his wife's voice.

He turned back with difficulty and saw Gine charging toward him with a resolute expression.

Looking at his wife's tear-streaked face and thinking of their two children on another planet, Bardock opened his mouth.

Then, the Planet Destructo Disc swallowed him without hindrance and continued downward.

"Oh?"

In outer space, Frieza sat in his pod and looked down at Planet Vegeta. As if he had heard someone calling his name, he looked over and noticed the lone figure charging upward, a trace of interest appearing in his eyes.

He had thought this person might bring him a surprise, but unfortunately, before absolute power, he still failed to cause even the slightest ripple.

The Planet Destructo Disc continued downward, crushing through every obstacle.

Once it truly reached the ground and the planet exploded, Frieza's operation would conclude perfectly.

However, no matter when or where, accidents always came uninvited.

"Beep beep beep~"

Just as Frieza sat calmly, preparing to admire the exhilarating cosmic fireworks, the Power Level Scouter by his ear suddenly began sounding a shrill alarm.

Then, the Power Level displayed on the screen began skyrocketing at a terrifying rate.

It was only in the tens of thousands at first. In the blink of an eye, it jumped to over a hundred thousand, yet it did not stop there. Within a breath, it multiplied several times over, reaching several hundred thousand!

Bang!

Just then, an explosion sounded, and the Scouter by Frieza's ear—capable of detecting a Power Level exceeding five hundred thousand—burst apart.

With such a sudden turn of events, even Frieza, the Galactic Emperor, could no longer remain calm. His eyes locked tightly onto Planet Vegeta below.

Could the legend of the Super Saiyan be true?!

At that moment, Frieza felt a little uneasy, but he also became excited.
