King Cold's Wrath

In the vast expanse of the universe.

Planet No. 67.

King Cold, Frieza's father, felt as though something had been lost from his heart.

He couldn't help but let a single tear fall from the corner of his eye.

What's wrong with me?

Why does my heart ache so much?

Just as King Cold stood there in bewilderment.

A voice pulled him back to reality, and he casually wiped the tear from his eye.

"Reporting, King Cold. We've just detected that Lord Frieza's life signs have vanished."

"Lord Frieza seemed to be fighting someone earlier. They both emitted immense battle power, and then the Scouter exploded."

An electric door slid open, and a Toad Alien hurried before King Cold on his throne, speaking respectfully.

"Wh—what? My son Frieza's life signs are gone?"

Hearing such dire news so suddenly filled King Cold with fury.

But then he reconsidered—his son was of the Frost Demon Clan, with tenacious vitality. He couldn't die that easily.

Even if only Frieza's cells were found, he could still be revived.

He kept soothing his own restless heart.

"We depart immediately. Search the place where Frieza last disappeared."

"Alive, I want to see him. Dead, I want to see his corpse."

King Cold roared down at his subordinates.

I'll see just who dares lay a hand on my son.

I'll skin them alive and tear their tendons!

But he never imagined that Frieza's cells had already melted away under the energy of the Kamehameha.

"Yes, I'll see to it at once."

The Toad Alien scurried out in terror.

He had never seen King Cold so enraged.

In truth, Frieza had come to Planet Namek seeking the Dragon Balls to make a wish without telling his father, King Cold.

He wanted to gain immortality for himself and rule the universe for even longer.

If his father found out, he would surely compete for the chance to wish on the Dragon Balls.

On Planet Namek.

"Lord King Kai."

"Lord King Kai, can you hear me?"

Son Goku shouted into the air.

Krillin, Bulma, Dende, and the others had all gathered together.

After discussion, they decided to first revive all the Namekians.

Then use Planet Namek's Shenron to revive the people of Earth.

"Yes, Goku, I can hear you."

"Gohan defeating Frieza is truly a cause for celebration."

"You've done a great service for the universe."

North Kai said cheerfully.

Frieza had long been running rampant in the universe, forming factions and causing chaos.

He was a cancer upon the cosmos, and now that cancer had finally been removed.

"Lord King Kai, I want you to notify Kami on Earth to use the Dragon Balls to revive the Namekians."

"Then we'll use Namek's Dragon Balls to revive everyone on Earth."

Son Goku briefly laid out their plan.

"Good, that's a fine plan. Both sides can be revived."

After hearing Goku's words, King Kai agreed it was an excellent approach.

He immediately contacted Kami on Earth and explained what had happened on Planet Namek.

Upon hearing this, Kami set to work at once, searching for the Dragon Balls to make the wish.

Meanwhile, on Planet Namek.

[Clang, 10,000 Battle Power attribute dropped ahead.]

[Clang, Battle Power attribute +10,000.]

Son Gohan's mind rang with the system's constant prompts.

A smile tugged at his lips as he watched the two figures clashing in the sky with keen interest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The air echoed with the relentless collision of their power.

No mistake—the ones fighting midair were none other than the battle maniacs Son Goku and Vegeta.

Saiyans were born warmongers. Both were giving their all to settle that one promise on Earth.

They knew Gohan and Dende's Healing Technique was heaven-defying—as long as a breath remained, they could be saved.

So they held nothing back.

Neither had any regard for their own life. Every punch struck flesh, as if the other were their father's murderer.

"Ahh!"

Screams of pain rang out from both sides without pause.

"Holy crap!"

"Saiyans are just too insane."

"Hearing them scream like that, even I feel the pain."

Krillin's mouth twitched involuntarily. Watching their fight made his scalp crawl.

If Gohan weren't here, he'd have fled far away by now.

The two fought until the ground shook and the earth was a mess—potholes everywhere, devastation as far as the eye could see.

Son Goku wasn't using Kaio-ken, or Vegeta would've been on the receiving end of a beating.

Both were pulling out every trick to knock the other down.

Vegeta flashed behind Son Goku to strike, but halfway through his punch, he suddenly changed direction toward the right.

He was still too slow. Son Goku drove a knee into his spine.

"Ugh!" Vegeta spat out a mouthful of blood.

He'd been caught off guard—Son Goku's knee pinned his back, and the two crashed straight into a mountain.

"Gohan... is it really okay for them to fight like this?"

Bulma watched the heart-stopping scene up close.

She instinctively grabbed Gohan's arm, seeking some sense of safety.

Their battle was terrifying.

It was like gods and demons fighting in the heavens.

If this kept up, they might just wreck the entire planet.

"It's fine. They know their limits. Besides, I'm here, aren't I?"

"Just put your heart at ease and watch the fight."

Son Gohan said with utter confidence.

Even if Planet Namek exploded, he could use Instant Transmission to escape.

And he wouldn't let that happen anyway.

"Damn you, Kakarot. I'll end this."

"Flash Cannon."

Vegeta's face twisted with fury. A fierce aura erupted from his body, wrapped in a White Aura.

He soared into the air, facing Son Goku, and spread his arms wide, unleashing a surge of overwhelming energy.

"Ka... me... ha... me... ha."

Seeing this, Son Goku decisively fired back with his signature Kamehameha.

A blinding light blazed between his palms.

Rocks on the ground began to float.

Boom!

Two colossal beams of energy collided instantly.

A shockwave swept across the entire battlefield.

Sand and stones flew through the air, as if a Category 10 typhoon had struck.

Seeing this, Son Gohan had already conjured a Force Field, shielding everyone inside.

"So... so incredible."

Krillin watched the collision of such immense energy up close.

He couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

If not for Son Gohan's Force Field protecting them, they might have already been blown away by the Energy Wave.

"Kakarot, I won't lose to a low-class warrior like you."

"I am the Prince of the Saiyans, a genius warrior."

Vegeta output wildly, squeezing out every last bit of his Battle Power attribute.

Having already lost once on Earth, this time he had to reclaim his dignity as a Prince no matter what.

"Vegeta, you're dreaming. Break for me."

Son Goku also suppressed all the energy in his body.

Even without the boost of Kaio-ken, he was determined to defeat Vegeta.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Krillin back on Earth.

When Vegeta invaded Earth, he was beaten so badly by Son Gohan that he couldn't even take care of himself.

But Son Goku willfully let him go and promised Krillin that the next time he saw Vegeta, he would take him down.

The energy of the Kamehameha pushed back the energy of the Flash Cannon.

"Damn it."

Boom!

With a deafening roar, Vegeta was instantly struck by the Kamehameha and exploded.

Thick smoke billowed in the air.

Collect all.

Son Gohan thought silently.

Battle Power attributes surged wildly into his body.

The Battle Power in his personal attribute panel reached thirty-two million.

He hadn't expected those two to contribute two million in Battle Power.

A gust of wind blew, and after the smoke cleared.

Vegeta's figure emerged. His battle suit was tattered everywhere, as ragged as a beggar.

The two of them gasped heavily in the air. In the end, Vegeta was still a step behind and lost this fight.
