"Hey!"

A hint of self-mockery flashed across Rhode's slightly excited face as he faced Frieza's words. "Looks like I'm still not your opponent!"

As he spoke, Rhode did not continue attacking.

He wanted pressure, wanted to improve his fighting techniques and gain combat experience, but Frieza was obviously not a good choice. The gap between them was simply too large.

This was not putting pressure on himself. It was asking for humiliation.

After all, his main reason for coming here had been to see whether Frieza in his First Form could be killed.

Right now, Frieza had not even gotten serious. Otherwise, even with Instant Transmission and the ability to unleash his power several times over, Rhode would still have struggled to fight him.

"Ho ho ho ho~"

Hearing Rhode's words, Frieza laughed with interest. "You're quite impressive! You already possess one or two parts of my power!"

As he spoke, Frieza's gaze fell on Rhode, revealing appreciation. He had developed a fondness for talent and extended an invitation. "Would you like to work under me? I'll give you the best treatment!"

"Hey!"

Hearing Frieza's words, Rhode could not help grinning.

It had to be said that when Frieza believed his power was overwhelming and everything was under his control, he might have been a murderous villain, but he appeared refined and courteous. He even treated capable people with respect.

However, once things went beyond his control, Frieza would definitely fly into a rage and become hysterical.

Facing Frieza's invitation, Rhode said leisurely, "Aren't you afraid I'll become a Super Saiyan and kill you, King Frieza?"

"Ho ho ho ho!"

Rather than getting angry at Rhode's words, Frieza became even more confident. "I am a true genius. Even if you truly are the Legendary Super Saiyan, you will never reach my level of power!"

After their brief exchange, Frieza had already tested Rhode's limits. At most, Rhode possessed less than thirty percent of his power. It was decent strength, but still worlds apart from his own.

If this was what a Super Saiyan was, then Frieza had absolutely nothing to worry about.

After Frieza spoke, Rhode frowned slightly, unsure whether Frieza's arrogance came from his power or whether he had some other plan.

Could I make Frieza go train because of me?

That thought suddenly surfaced in Rhode's mind.

If he came back to kill this guy after successfully Transforming into Super Saiyan, only for this guy to go straight into Golden Form, that would be truly ridiculous!

"Well? Are you going to work under me or not?"

As Rhode grumbled inwardly, Frieza continued waiting expectantly for his answer.

"Sorry, I want to be a good person."

Facing the enthusiastic Frieza, Rhode did not hesitate in the slightest and decisively refused.

Rhode did not consider himself a good person, but compared to Frieza, he was still kindhearted.

"Oh?"

Receiving Rhode's clear response, Frieza's expression filled with regret. "It seems you're one of those stubborn fools!"

Was he a bad person? Of course not!

He sold planets and gave homeless wandering races of the stars a home. How could that make him a bad person?

Besides, he was working for a God of Destruction. Causing destruction was perfectly legal.

In short, in Frieza's eyes, mere fools like Rhode were not even on the same level as him.

"Since that's the case, I shall send you on your way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza's expression changed instantly. Killing intent surged, and he raised a hand as a Death Beam erupted forth.

This Death Beam was countless times more powerful than before, instantly piercing through Rhode's chest.

Yet there was not the slightest joy in Frieza's eyes. The Rhode figure pierced by the Death Beam gradually faded away into nothingness. It had merely been an afterimage!

"Damn it!"

His sure-kill strike had missed. Frieza's face darkened with anger, but no matter what he did, he could not find any trace of Rhode, making him even more irritated.

Bang!

Just as Frieza searched for Rhode's whereabouts, a sudden change occurred on Planet Vegeta below. The Planet Destructo Disc had been pushed back out!

Boom!

The Planet Destructo Disc exploded in outer space, producing a dazzling White Light.

However, Frieza's expression turned extremely ugly at the sight.

Especially when he saw spherical spacecraft flying out from Planet Vegeta, his expression became even worse.

Biu! Biu! Biu!

With a wave of his hand, Death Beams shot out one after another. The spherical spacecraft that had just entered the atmosphere were struck and all exploded.

The destruction of the Saiyans and Planet Vegeta had been hinted at by a God of Destruction. If he messed it up, there would be no good outcome for him.

Though Frieza was arrogant, he had always remembered King Cold's teachings and firmly kept in mind the warning never to provoke Majin Buu or God of Destruction Beerus.

Thus, seeing Saiyans trying to flee amid the chaos, Frieza immediately took action personally and killed them.

Not only that, after shooting down the spherical spacecraft, Frieza moved to prevent any further accidents. He descended directly onto Planet Vegeta, then raised his foot and stomped down.

Terrifying energy erupted, piercing through the entire planet.

Boom!

Planet Vegeta shattered in an instant like a glass marble beneath Frieza's terrifying power, becoming fireworks in the universe.

Hm?

After destroying Planet Vegeta, Frieza suddenly noticed several spherical spacecraft escaping from the far side of the planet.

Biu!

He raised a finger, firing a Death Beam directly at the last few surviving Saiyans.

Roar!

At that moment, a Great Ape suddenly appeared out of nowhere in space. Even in the vacuum of the universe, Frieza seemed to hear the Great Ape's furious roar.

"Frieza, die!"

The Great Ape appeared, casually swatting aside the incoming Death Beam. Roaring, she arrived before Frieza and slammed her palm down in towering rage.

"Hmph!"

Facing the enraged Great Ape, Frieza's eyes were cold. With a raised hand, he condensed a compressed Energy Blast in his palm and pressed it against the Great Ape's body.

Whoosh!

Just as the compressed Energy Blast was about to explode on the Great Ape, a small figure appeared beside her out of nowhere, grabbed her, and vanished from the spot.

Boom!

The compressed Energy Blast exploded, but did not harm its target in the slightest.

That Saiyan monkey!

Noticing the newcomer's appearance, intense killing intent flashed through Frieza's eyes. The person was none other than Rhode, who had rejected his invitation.

And the Great Ape Rhode had taken away was undoubtedly Aila.

The moment Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, the explosion had brought deadly danger. Aila immediately used Instant Transmission to escape.

However, Planet Vegeta's destruction had enraged her to the extreme. That was why she had immediately transformed into a Great Ape and rushed back.

Roar! Rhode, let me kill Frieza!

In an unknown region of space, Rhode had taken Aila away to evade Frieza's terrifying Energy Blast. Yet Aila, blinded by fury, still struggled and roared.

Seeing Aila like this, Rhode felt both gratified and helpless.

He was gratified because Aila's fury showed that she had truly changed.

At the very least, if it had been the old Aila, even if the Saiyans had been wiped out and the planet destroyed, she probably would not have felt such intense emotional turmoil.

But he was helpless because no matter how furious she was, even after transforming into a Great Ape and increasing her strength tenfold, Aila was still far from being Frieza's opponent.

Bang!

Seeing Aila struggle, Rhode did not hesitate. With a thought, a Space Gate opened, and he kicked Aila into the Time Chamber.

Immediately afterward, Rhode entered the Time Chamber and closed the door. Great Ape Power surged through him as he flashed behind Aila, releasing a burst of force from his hand and Knocking her Out.

Ignoring Aila, who had returned to her Normal state after fainting, Rhode left the Time Chamber. With a thought, he returned once more to the space where Planet Vegeta had been.
