"The Frost Demon Clan is the strongest race in this universe."

King Cold roared in fury.

His eyes began gathering energy; he wanted to use his Light Eye skill.

He had been too careless earlier—a mere child with no battle power.

He hadn't expected the brat to exploit an opening.

"I can do that too."

Son Gohan saw his opponent about to use Light Eye and began gathering his own.

Boom!

The two Light Eyes collided instantly.

King Cold was blasted straight into a mountain.

Son Gohan followed, charging in after him.

"Incredible—I can't believe even King Cold, as fearsome as he is, is getting wrecked by Gohan."

"Gohan's power is absolutely terrifying."

"None of us even saw what happened, and King Cold was already knocked to the ground."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Tien Shinhan, can your three eyes see their movements?"

The crowd was completely dumbfounded, unable to track how the blows were exchanged.

Son Gohan's battle power had completely exceeded their understanding.

They hadn't seen him in just two months, yet he had somehow Transformed.

His battle power had left them all far behind.

Piccolo and Son Goku were both grinning from ear to ear.

The scene returned to the battlefield.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The entire mountain was leveled in an instant.

The two figures burst from the rubble and rose into the air.

"Crazy Death Beam."

King Cold, battered and bruised, unleashed the Crazy Death Beam in fury.

He tried to use energy to attack his opponent.

"A cheap trick."

Son Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan, his battle power reaching a full two billion.

Now, he completely ignored all energy attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Son Gohan let the dense barrage of Energy Blasts slam into his body, but they had no effect at all.

King Cold was drenched in anxious sweat, but he had no way out.

Son Gohan burst through the Energy Blasts and punched King Cold square in the face.

Thud!

King Cold's body flew backward like a kite with a snapped string.

Son Gohan gave him no chance to catch his breath—he high-speed moved in front of him and kicked him again.

Just like that, he played soccer in the air.

King Cold's screams echoed nonstop through the sky.

The onlooking spectators only heard the endless cries of agony from above; they couldn't make out the movements at all.

Vegeta, alone in a deep crater, ground his teeth in frustration.

It seemed everyone had forgotten about him.

"This is too much—this planet doesn't need to exist anymore."

King Cold broke free from Son Gohan's taunting.

Blinded by rage, he fired an energy blast at the ground.

He wanted to blow Planet Namek to pieces, sending everyone tumbling into the void of space.

Without the ability to survive in space, they would all die.

"Damn it."

"Gohan, we're not going to make it."

"Are we all going to die?"

"King Cold, you bastard."

"He's trying to take us all down with him."

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

If that energy blast struck Planet Namek, the entire planet would be shattered in an instant.

Everyone would die in a single moment.

"Cold, your idea isn't wrong, but you picked the wrong target."

"Time Stop Technique."

Son Gohan instantly activated his psychic power, holding his breath.

In that moment, everything on Planet Namek came to a halt.

It was like pressing pause on a TV.

Only Son Gohan could still move.

He flashed to the spot where the energy blast was about to land.

Gohan gathered the energy for a Kamehameha while silently counting how many seconds the time stop could last.

King Cold had already gone berserk—there was no way he could be allowed to live.

By the fifth second, he felt terrible.

Ha!

He exhaled, and the Time Stop Technique instantly wore off. Everything resumed as before.

Son Gohan fired his Kamehameha, and a massive pillar of light instantly swallowed the energy blast King Cold had hurled down.

Then, without losing momentum, it shot toward the enemy.

"How... how is this possible? How are you so fast?"

"No—"

The enormous beam of energy devoured King Cold in an instant, leaving only a single scream behind.

Collect all.

Son Gohan chanted silently in his mind, and the Battle Power attributes scattered across the ground flowed endlessly into his limbs and bones.

His personal attribute panel showed his Battle Power had reached forty-five million.

"Yeah, we won!"

"I was scared to death just now!"

"I knew it—Gohan wouldn't let us down."

"Easy for you to say; your face was pale as a ghost from fear."

Tien Shinhan and the others were stunned at first, then burst into excited chatter.

This battle had completely reshaped their understanding of power.

They couldn't wait to start training, aiming to surpass Son Gohan.

"Gohan, thank you. You've saved our planet once again."

The Namekians also jumped up in celebration, venting their inner excitement.

They were overjoyed.

After eliminating King Cold, the Namekians used the Dragon Balls to revive their people.

Son Gohan also made a wish: that Son Goku would be free from illness and immune to all poisons.

He knew that when the Cell arc came, Son Goku would suffer a fatal heart attack.

If Future Trunks hadn't delivered the medicine, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Time flew by!

A year passed quietly.

After defeating King Cold, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to bring everyone back to Earth.

Everyone began their own training.

Suddenly, a massive spaceship entered Earth's atmosphere.

A terrifying, evil aura instantly enveloped the planet.

"Damn it—Earth is in danger."

Earth's Kami felt that powerful, malevolent presence, and his face turned pale with fear.

Sweat poured down his forehead without stopping—this aura was far too overwhelming.

He looked toward Mount Paozu and muttered to himself, "Son Gohan, the fate of Earth rests on you."

"Is this evil aura Frieza? No, it shouldn't be. Could it be..."

The moment this aura approached Earth, Son Gohan sensed it.

It seemed that because he had eliminated King Cold and Frieza, some of the plot had changed.

Now coming to Earth for revenge was Frieza's older brother, Cooler.

Cooler was the ruler of a certain region in the universe, first appearing in Dragon Ball Z Movie 5: Clash! The Strongest vs. The Strongest.

When Frieza wiped out the Saiyans, Cooler stood by and watched, letting the infant Son Goku (Kakarot) sent to Earth survive.

He mocked Frieza's carelessness, and 24 years later, Frieza was defeated by Son Goku, who had become a Super Saiyan.

In the movie, Cooler and his forces attacked Earth to defeat Son Goku.

He never expected Cooler to arrive at Earth so soon.

Soon, the Dragon Ball Z warriors—Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Krillin—all sensed this terrifying, evil aura invading Earth.

They all moved out, flying toward the direction of the evil aura.
