"Vegeta."
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
King Cold's strength was unexpectedly terrifying. He immediately gained the upper hand against Vegeta, beating him down.
Son Goku let out a roar and fired an Energy Blast at King Cold.
"Heh heh heh. Are all you Saiyans this impulsive? Don't rush. You'll be next soon enough."
King Cold stopped attacking and raised a hand, knocking away the Energy Blast Son Goku had fired at him.
The corners of his mouth curled upward, as though a cat were watching a mouse.
"Vegeta, once I've dealt with your companion, we'll have some fun."
King Cold suddenly appeared above Vegeta and smashed him into the ground with a heavy punch.
Boom!
The ground was smashed into a huge crater.
Vegeta lay weakly in the pit, his eyes full of unwillingness and helplessness.
"Ka-me-ha-me...ha!"
Seeing that his Energy Blast had no effect on King Cold, Son Goku had decisively used a Kamehameha boosted by Twenty Times Kaio-ken.
A huge beam of light roared toward his opponent.
"Die, you lowly Saiyan!"
A planet-sized Energy Blast formed instantly at the tip of one of King Cold's fingers.
He flicked his finger, sending the gigantic Energy Blast hurtling toward Son Goku's Kamehameha.
Boom!
The two immense energies collided.
In an instant, Planet Namek's mountains crumbled and the seas surged inland.
Dark clouds filled the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The collision of those two forces even changed the weather.
[ Ding, Battle Power attribute 20000 dropped ahead. ] [ Ding, Battle Power attribute +20000. ]
"S-so strong!"
"Goku, hang in there!"
"If that enormous ball of energy hits Planet Namek, it might destroy the entire planet!"
The onlookers clenched their fists, watching the clash of energy beams with tense expressions.
"Die!"
Seeing that his opponent's beam of light could hold its own against his, King Cold realized his Energy Blast had only been hastily formed.
He immediately increased his output, and the Energy Wave swelled several times over.
The Kamehameha's beam of light was forced back, inch by inch.
Son Goku gritted his teeth and held on, pouring out all his energy.
The Kamehameha's beam of light swelled in an instant, but it seemed to make no difference.
The other Energy Blast kept advancing, bearing down on him with crushing force.
"Hahaha! Tremble, Saiyans!"
"We, the Frost Demon Clan, are the strongest in the universe!"
Seeing the situation, King Cold laughed smugly.
"Gohan, go help!"
"Your dad's about to lose!"
Seeing what was happening, Krillin said anxiously.
When he received no answer, he instinctively looked toward Son Gohan beside him.
But Gohan was nowhere to be seen.
Whoosh!
Son Gohan suddenly appeared beside Son Goku.
He, too, unleashed Kaio-ken at five times his strength, his entire body wrapped in red-and-white aura.
Son Gohan's Kamehameha formed instantly, and he fired it at King Cold's Energy Blast.
Boom!
The combined Kamehameha waves of the two of them instantly drove the Energy Blast back.
"Well, well. I didn't expect you to be this strong, kid."
At the last moment, King Cold dodged the returning Energy Blast.
His heart was in turmoil. He hadn't expected the two Saiyans to possess such great power.
"Heh heh heh, Gohan. The rest of the fight is up to you."
"It's time for me to leave the stage."
Son Goku released Kaio-ken, returned to his normal state, and patted Son Gohan on the shoulder with a proud smile.
Then he flew away from the battlefield and joined Krillin and the others to watch.
The rest of the fight had nothing to do with him.
Staying to help would only hold Gohan back.
Besides, King Cold still hadn't shown his true strength in that fight.
If King Cold got serious, Son Goku would have ended up lying on the ground just like Vegeta.
Pick Up All.
Son Gohan recited the words silently.
The Battle Power attributes on the ground flowed into his body like a stream.
His Battle Power surged wildly. After a few breaths, it stopped at forty million.
A smile crept onto his lips. His Battle Power had increased by another five million.
"What in the world is going on?"
"Are you looking down on me that much?"
"You're really sending a little kid to fight me?"
"Saiyans, I have to admire your courage and ignorance."
"Don't regret it. I'll snap this brat's neck in a moment."
King Cold stared in disbelief and scorn as Son Goku flew away, leaving only a little kid to fight him.
Even if the child had started training from the day he was born, how strong could he possibly be?
"King Cold, you're far too arrogant."
"My strength isn't just a little impressive."
"Feel what truly terrifying, overwhelming power is like."
Boom!
Son Gohan released Kaio-ken, and a surge of energy shot into the sky.
A terrifying aura poured out in a furious wave.
The ground caved in around him.
Son Gohan instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.
His eyes grew razor-sharp as he glared sidelong at King Cold.
"W-what?"
"A Saiyan with yellow hair?"
"Were you the one who killed Frieza?"
King Cold staggered back several steps.
That look was terrifying!
He remembered his ancestor's dying words: "Beware of the Saiyan with yellow hair."
"That's right. I killed Frieza."
Son Gohan replied in a cold, emotionless voice, his gaze sharp.
The air itself seemed to grow colder.
"S-so strong!"
"This power is truly terrifying."
"Watching from this close makes it hard to breathe."
"Is this Gohan's true strength? It's frightening."
Everyone watching the battle was trembling with fear.
That aura was utterly shocking.
They hadn't felt it this close before. Now they were completely terrified.
"You arrogant brat! I'll tear you to pieces today!"
King Cold unleashed one hundred percent of his power as well.
His Battle Power was several times greater than Frieza's.
Everyone felt as if a demon had crawled out of Hell.
They hadn't expected King Cold to have been hiding his strength.
"Die, Saiyan!"
King Cold struck first, launching a massive Energy Blast at Son Gohan.
Boom!
Son Gohan raised a hand and swatted the Energy Blast away.
His body suddenly vanished from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he fired a huge Energy Blast from his palm, blasting King Cold in the back.
"Argh!"
King Cold screamed as his body was sent flying.
Son Gohan followed in a flash, catching up to King Cold's airborne body.
He drove a knee into him and slammed him toward a mountain.
Rumble!
Son Gohan rammed King Cold into a massive rock, shattering it.
With a "Blegh," King Cold spat out a mouthful of blood.
