"What are you drinking?" Cooler asked, looking a little puzzled.
"Nothing! You don't need to worry about the details!" Frieza said, then took another small sip.
23 times!
I still haven't reached my limit!
I want to see just how many times my battle power can multiply.
"You sure are taking it easy!" Cooler didn't seem to care much. He asked, "By the way, how many Saiyans have returned to Planet Vegeta?"
"At least another twenty days before most of them have returned," Frieza replied, taking another sip of Battle God Water.
As they chatted, Frieza had unknowingly drunk forty mouthfuls of Battle God Water.
His battle power had increased fortyfold.
By now, Frieza's battle power had reached the staggering height of 4.8 billion.
Feeling the immense energy surging within him, Frieza was overjoyed.
"You... are you ever going to stop?" Cooler frowned deeply.
Frieza really had no manners.
Every time he said something to me, he took a sip of his drink!
How long could it take to finish such a tiny bottle?
Seeing that Frieza was about to keep drinking, Cooler finally couldn't take it anymore. He raised a hand, and a beam of energy shot from his fingertip.
"Whoosh!"
The beam of energy shot toward the Battle God Water in Frieza's hand at incredible speed.
"Boom!"
The beam struck the Battle God Water in Frieza's hand.
It all happened too suddenly.
So suddenly that Frieza didn't even have time to react.
The bottle of Battle God Water exploded.
Frieza was completely dumbfounded.
The bottle burst, spilling Battle God Water all over the ground, and some of it evaporated.
Frieza panicked and shouted furiously, "Cooler, what are you doing? Ow, ow, ow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza immediately dropped to the ground and licked up a mouthful of Battle God Water from the floor.
Then Frieza felt the energy surging through his body.
Thank goodness, thank goodness. It was still multiplying even though it had spilled on the ground.
Not daring to be careless, Frieza licked up another ten mouthfuls of Battle God Water from the floor.
At this point, Frieza's battle power had multiplied fiftyfold.
Watching Frieza lick the spilled drink off the floor like a dog, Cooler's eyes widened in astonishment.
What are you trying to do?
Have you lost your mind?
"Frieza, what are you doing?" Cooler frowned deeply and asked, his face dark.
Frieza licked the floor again, though only a wet stain remained.
Then Frieza realized, to his dismay, that his battle power wasn't increasing at all.
Frieza couldn't tell whether he'd reached his fiftyfold limit or whether it was because there was no Battle God Water left.
"It's gone!" Frieza trembled with rage as he sprang to his feet and glared at Cooler.
Cooler's energy beam had naturally evaporated quite a bit of the Battle God Water.
"You bastard!" Frieza was truly furious.
There hadn't been much Battle God Water left in the bottle to begin with. Frieza had thought that if he took small sips, he could get a hundred mouthfuls out of it.
But Cooler had gone and blasted some of it away.
"What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?" Cooler asked, puzzled. "Even if the drink tastes good, you don't have to get down on the floor to drink it!"
"What do you know? You ruined everything! I won't let you get away with this!" Frieza trembled with anger.
"Frieza, I think you've forgotten something important, haven't you?" Cooler gave a scornful smile and watched Frieza with interest. "Get this straight: my battle power far surpasses yours!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Frieza's interest was piqued.
"What? You think your battle power can surpass your big brother's?" Cooler sneered.
"Let's go outside and fight!" Frieza said darkly, feeling both excited and dejected.
He was excited because he could feel that his battle power had reached a staggering six billion.
The reason he was dejected was...
Damn it... I feel like I haven't reached my limit yet, but I'm out of Battle God Water.
"Oh? Are you serious?" Cooler narrowed his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, Frieza opened the spaceship hatch and darted straight out into space.
Cooler looked at him strangely, feeling that Frieza was acting very strangely today.
Still, Cooler followed him out, appearing opposite Frieza with a confident look.
"Frieza, are you really planning to challenge your big brother?" Cooler asked with a chuckle.
"Cooler, I won't bully you. I'll just stand right here and let you hit me!" Frieza beckoned to Cooler, looking provocative.
Cooler: "..."
When had Frieza gotten so confident?
He must have gone crazy!
"Then I won't hold back. Don't blame me for not going easy on you when it starts to hurt," Cooler said with a slight smile.
Without further ado, Cooler transformed into his Fifth Form and charged toward Frieza, throwing a punch straight at his face.
What a great offer. I've never heard anything like it.
He was actually standing there and letting me hit him!
But just as Cooler's fist was about to reach Frieza, Frieza slowly raised a finger and caught the punch with it.
The moment Cooler's fist touched Frieza's fingertip, he clearly felt the immense power erupting from Frieza.
Cooler was stunned, utterly shocked.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
Even though I haven't used my full strength, the fact that Frieza can block this punch with one finger means his battle power has soared to an incredible level.
"Cooler, did you skip a meal? Hit me harder!" Frieza sneered.
"You asked for it!" Cooler gritted his teeth, increased the force of his attacks, and launched a fierce assault on Frieza.
Frieza didn't even try to fight back. He let Cooler's fists pound his body.
In fact, Frieza still wasn't satisfied, so he spun around dramatically and turned his back to Cooler.
"Bang, bang, bam!"
Cooler's fists hammered Frieza's back.
Frieza groaned in pleasure, sounding absolutely ecstatic.
"Harder, harder!" Frieza grunted.
Cooler was completely stunned. He hurriedly leaped backward, putting some distance between himself and Frieza.
"Whoosh!"
But Frieza vanished in a flash and appeared behind Cooler in an instant, moving at a terrifying speed.
He moved so fast that Cooler didn't even have time to react.
Cooler mechanically turned his head, staring in shock at Frieza behind him.
"W-what are you talking about? How is this possible?" Cooler stammered, his expression changing again and again as he cried out, "W-when did you raise your battle power to this level?"
"I'll tell you, Cooler!" Frieza said smugly, rubbing his nose. "My battle power has now reached six billion."
"Y-you said what?" Cooler froze.
