Tenfold Kaioken

"You can't get the Dragon Ball!"

Faced with King Cold's commanding tone, Piccolo responded coldly, then removed his cloak and hat, stretching his body in preparation for battle. With his burdens removed, Piccolo unleashed his full power; his peak energy instantly transformed into a hazy aura that enveloped his body, radiating a sharp and formidable presence.

King Cold glanced unexpectedly in Piccolo's direction and looked up in surprise.

"Not bad, looks like you're planning to rebel!"

"Ha, ignorance is bliss. You have no idea what a terrifying opponent you are facing." King Cold shook his head leisurely, his expression calm, his tall figure standing tall in front of Piccolo and his men. Suddenly, his tone turned cold, and he coldly issued orders to his subordinates beside him:

"Yage, take the team and clear out these ants. Kill everyone except that Namekian. I don't want to see these eyesores."

"Yes, sir!"

An alien Yage answered loudly, and upon receiving the order, led a group of strangely-looking aliens towards Goku and his companions.

Goku and the others immediately tensed up and prepared for battle.

"Bulla, Tien Shinhan, get ready!"

"Knew."

"These henchmen aren't very powerful."

Facing dozens of aliens rushing towards them, Goku, Bulla, and Tien Shinhan remained calm. Suddenly, they let out a loud shout, and the air rustled as they released an astonishingly powerful aura. Even without using the Kaioken, Goku and the others were considered absolute powerhouses in the universe, even in their normal state.

Then all that could be heard were the sounds of fighting, but before anyone could see what was happening, dozens of aliens were sent flying, crashing to the ground and falling unconscious.

Slap slap slap!

"Oh, not bad."

King Cold clapped calmly. He glanced at the power displayed by Goku for a moment, but that was all. Considering their ability to kill Ginyu and Ries, such power was not surprising.

"Piccolo, let's join forces, otherwise we won't be a match for King Cold!" Goku said solemnly, standing beside Piccolo.

"Hmph, very well. I've been cultivating in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a year, and I need someone to test my strength. Earth is my territory, and if you want to conquer it, you'll first need to ask for my consent." Piccolo's tone was forceful, his gaze fixed on King Cold.

Upon hearing this, a meaningful glint flashed in King Cold's blood-red eyes, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You Namekian are truly arrogant, daring to speak to me like that. It seems you haven't fought in so long that you've forgotten the fear of being ruled by me. Let me tell you the truth, my combat power has already reached an astonishing 90 million, a dreamlike strength that is hard for ordinary people to believe."

"If I wanted to kill you, I could just lift a finger."

King Cold proudly declared his fighting prowess, saying that, like Frieza, he most enjoyed watching the despair on his opponent's face as they faced death.

However, to his displeasure, after he revealed his fighting strength, he did not see the expression he was looking for; neither Goku nor Piccolo showed much change in their expressions.

King Cold had hoped to see a look of shock and despair on the other's face, was greatly disappointed.

In fact, long before King Cold arrived on Earth, Goku and his friends had already heard about King Cold's fighting power from King Kai. Although it was somewhat different from what King Cold himself said, whether it was 60 million or 90 million fighting power, it was still an insurmountable peak for them, and they could only fight with all their might.

"The most grueling battle is yet to come. Only by defeating King Cold will Earth be safe. Although I know there's a high chance I'm no match for him, the thought of fighting such a master still gets my blood pumping."

Goku stared at King Cold with his dark eyes, his black hair rising slightly in the vortex.

Suddenly his expression tightened, and he shouted:

"Ten times Kaioken!"

Suddenly, with a boom, a dark red energy surged from Goku's body. The cold and domineering aura caused the earth to shake. Affected by this terrifying energy, the earth suddenly cracked and sank, spreading out in all directions in a spiderweb-like pattern of broken areas.

This is the achievement Goku attained during his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber: with the Kaioken, his normal power level of 2.4 million can unleash the power of 24 million in an instant.

It can be described as an astonishing improvement.

"Bulla, Piccolo, fight with all your might!" Goku shouted, glancing at Bulla and Piccolo while enduring the pressure from the Kaioken.

"Good!"

Piccolo, Bulla, and the others joined in the shout.

"Nine Kaioken!"

"Seven Kaioken!"

With a combined power level of 20 million, their Kaioken, though slightly weaker than Goku's, was still an astonishing force. In any other star system, they could reign supreme there.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Suddenly sensing the frenzied surge of energy emanating from his opponent, King Cold raised an eyebrow, his expression gradually cooling down, and his blood-red eyes sending chills down everyone's spines.

Although he wasn't quite sure what was going on with the other party's current state, the sudden increase in power made him feel slightly uneasy. Although it was only a little bit, it was already something that King Cold wouldn't allow.

He then let out an angry snort, and the next second, his face turned ashen, with a chilling wind whistling around him.

With a deafening roar, like a giant nuclear bomb exploding at close range, an aura of terrifying power emanated from King Cold. The air wall pressed down, and the earth trembled. It quickly neutralized the aura of Goku and Piccolo. Everyone present felt difficulty breathing, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

"Terrifying! So this is King Cold's true power, even more terrifying than before."

"Incredibly powerful!"

Krillin and the others had never seen a cosmic overlord-level expert make a move before. At this moment, King Cold unleashed his full power, finally showing them the terrifying nature of a cosmic overlord-level expert. Their eyes widened instantly, and large beads of sweat rolled down their faces.

"Hopefully, I can hold on a little longer." Krillin was sweating profusely, a wry smile on his face.

"Everyone, let's finish this quickly, and absolutely do not let the Earth be destroyed."

Seeing this, Goku shouted urgently, and his figure suddenly transformed into a phantom as he pounced towards King Cold.

Following closely in Goku's footsteps, Piccolo and Bulla also increased their speed and launched an attack on King Cold.

King Cold's power put them under immense pressure. Although the Kaioken could temporarily boost their fighting abilities, its effectiveness would gradually decrease over time due to the immense strain it placed on their Kaioken. Therefore, they had to seize the opportunity to finish the battle quickly when their physical strength was at its peak.

"Heh, just a desperate act of resistance." King Cold's deep red eyes flashed with indifference as he began to move in the face of Goku and his companions' attacks.

King Kai Planet.

North Kai, his back hunched, watched the battle unfolding on Earth with a tense expression.

"Oh dear, Goku is using the Kaioken at ten times the power! He's completely disregarding his body's safety. Such a heavy load could easily break his body... But then again, to deal with King Cold, the ten- Kaioken is necessary."

"King Cold is too terrifying. Even the 10x Kaioken probably can't defeat him. What should we do..." North Kai was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth on his small King Kai Planet.
