"Our people have sent back word. They say the spaceship has a hole smashed through it, and there isn't a single person aboard!" Berryblue immediately relayed the message. "Lord Frieza was right... It looks like Vegeta carried Dodoria out of the spaceship, and since neither of them could survive in space, they perished together."
"That fool Dodoria! I told him not to let his guard down, but he wouldn't listen!" Frieza's face darkened.
"Our people are searching the spaceship now to see if they can find the Battle God Water..." Berryblue replied. "Huh? What? They've already found it? Wonderful!"
Frieza's pupils contracted slightly, boundless delight appearing in his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Frieza immediately piloted his baby carriage toward the spaceship.
Before long, Frieza arrived aboard Dodoria's spaceship.
His subordinate Sorbet knelt and bowed, presenting the Battle God Water to Frieza with both hands.
"Oh? You're the one who found the Battle God Water?" Frieza smiled as he took the bottle.
"Y-yes, Lord Frieza." Sorbet nodded respectfully.
"What's your name?" Frieza asked with a smile.
"I am Sorbet!" Sorbet replied.
"You've done well. I'm promoting you to chief of staff. Go report to the Northern Legion." Frieza rarely showed such generosity. Happily, he patted Sorbet on the shoulder.
Sorbet was overjoyed.
Such a windfall had come out of nowhere!
I was only stationed here to keep watch over passing spaceships. I happened to spot Lord Dodoria's ship returning, so I went aboard to search it—and ended up finding the legendary Battle God Water.
And now Lord Frieza has actually made me chief of staff!
"Thank you, Lord Frieza!" Sorbet said, overcome with excitement. "I'll work hard!"
Frieza didn't spare Sorbet another glance. Carrying the Battle God Water, he hurried back to his own spaceship.
"Lord Frieza, you're back?" Berryblue stepped forward to greet him respectfully.
Frieza ignored Berryblue and walked right past her. Finding a comfortable spot, he unscrewed the Battle God Water's cap.
At once, a powerful smell of urine hit him.
Frieza's brows furrowed slightly.
Why was the smell so strong?
Oh, right. Dodoria had said the Battle God Water had a very distinctive taste.
No matter.
If it could increase his battle power, Frieza wouldn't even frown if it were shit.
Frieza cheerfully took a small sip.
This taste...
Frieza nearly threw up.
Bitter, astringent, and salty!
What the hell...
Forget it!
The first sip doesn't multiply your power.
Keep drinking!
With excitement in his heart, Frieza took a second sip of the Battle God Water.
Sure enough, Frieza was thrilled to feel the energy inside him surging.
It felt like his battle power had risen to at least one million.
Wait, that couldn't be right!
I'm in my first form right now, with a base battle power of 530,000.
So... the Battle God Water increased my first-form battle power?
That's awkward!
Let me see if I can increase it after transforming!
Frieza immediately flew out of his baby carriage. His body rapidly grew, his muscles bulged, and he went straight into his second form.
At the same time, Frieza sensed the change in his energy.
Not bad!
Frieza could tell that his energy was twice as powerful as before.
That meant his second-form battle power had reached two million.
What about his third form?
Frieza transformed into his third form again.
His battle power continued to skyrocket, reaching four million.
Still not satisfied, Frieza went straight into his final, fourth form.
Sure enough, his battle power rose to six million.
Frieza was ecstatic. He hurriedly unleashed all his power.
Battle power: 240 million!
Frieza's hands trembled with excitement.
Keep drinking. What was there to hesitate about?
Frieza took another sip.
Battle power: 360 million!
Keep going, keep going!
Frieza drank in small sips, ten in total.
By now, his battle power had soared to 1.2 billion.
Frieza was over the moon.
Could it get any better?
That Vegeta guy had managed to multiply his battle power twentyfold.
Frieza had to multiply his by at least a hundred.
Frieza continued drinking the Battle God Water.
He had to admit, the more he drank, the better it tasted.
At first, it had made him feel sick, like he was about to throw up. But after his battle power had multiplied so many times, Frieza honestly thought it wasn't as bitter or astringent anymore.
It even tasted a little sweet!
"Um... Lord Frieza... please allow me to interrupt," Berryblue said, raising her hand.
"Go ahead." Frieza was in high spirits and feeling great.
"Lord Cooler has arrived..." Berryblue reported.
"Cooler? So he finally came!" Frieza snorted. Then he had an idea and ordered, "Bring him here."
Look, here was my chance.
Cooler was the perfect guinea pig to test whether my battle power had increased.
Cooler's battle power had always been higher than mine!
Now my battle power had multiplied tenfold, reaching 1.2 billion.
I should be able to pin him to the ground and wipe the floor with him.
I want to find out just how many times my battle power can multiply!
Frieza continued drinking the Battle God Water.
There was only half a bottle, and it had even been diluted with urine...
Nappa drank it, then Dodoria drank it.
After Dodoria, it was Frieza's turn.
There wasn't much Battle God Water left.
Frieza had to drink it in small sips. Otherwise, if he finished it while his battle power was still multiplying, he'd be out of Battle God Water. Wouldn't that be disastrous?
Frieza had soon taken twenty sips. By the twenty-first, his battle power was still climbing.
Twenty-one times!
Battle power: 2.5 billion!
"Hohohoho!" Frieza couldn't help letting out a string of strange laughs.
Just then, Zarbon personally brought Cooler into the hall.
Cooler was Frieza's older brother. He looked quite similar to Frieza, but his battle power had reached 470 million, far surpassing Frieza's.
"Frieza, what are you doing over there?" Cooler sneered. Seeing Frieza grinning so obnoxiously, he wanted to go over and beat him up.
"Cooler, you're here?" Frieza's grin grew even more obnoxious. He waved Zarbon and Berryblue away.
Zarbon and Berryblue bowed, then turned and left quietly.
"Father told me to come check on you." Cooler rolled his eyes at Frieza. "And to make sure you finish the task Lord Beerus gave us as soon as possible."
"Of course I know. There's no hurry, though. We'll destroy this planet once most of the Saiyans have returned." As he spoke, Frieza took another small sip of the Battle God Water.
After swallowing, Frieza smacked his lips, finding the taste more and more distinctive.
