"Yes, you heard right. My battle power is now six billion!" Frieza's smile grew brighter.
"H-how... how is that possible?" Cooler was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it no matter how hard he tried.
"That's the truth!" Frieza said, then flashed again, appearing directly in front of Cooler.
Cooler broke out in a cold sweat.
This guy was just too fast.
Frieza smiled lightly, curled his finger, and flicked Cooler right on the forehead.
"Thump!"
With a dull impact, Cooler's head snapped back, and he went flying.
"Whoosh!"
Frieza flashed again, swiftly appearing behind Cooler. He raised a hand and casually stopped him.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho!" Frieza laughed even more brightly, his grin stretching from ear to ear.
Cooler was completely stunned.
How could this be?
Had Frieza's battle power really reached six billion?
"Cooler, you're no match for me!" Frieza sneered. "From now on, I'm taking over the Eastern Universe too! Go home and retire if you've got nothing better to do!"
Cooler: "..."
"W-what is going on? How did you raise your battle power?" Cooler looked utterly confused.
"Hmph! You bastard, Cooler! My battle power could've increased a hundredfold! You ruined everything!" Frieza was furious all over again as he recalled what had just happened.
"What are you talking about?" Cooler was even more bewildered. "A hundredfold?"
"What I drank just now was Battle God Water. It took a lot of effort to get!" Frieza trembled with rage. "There was only that little bit left... One sip doubles your battle power. I drank fifty sips in all, so my battle power increased fiftyfold."
"Y-you mean there's something that miraculous?" Cooler was stunned.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would've believed it.
"The truth speaks for itself!" Frieza ground his teeth in anger. "Believe me or not, I could kill you right now!"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had, I obviously wouldn't have destroyed your Battle God Water!" Cooler hurriedly explained.
"Damn it, you bastard!" Frieza really wanted to slap Cooler to death, but after hesitating for a long while, he decided to spare his life.
If I really killed Cooler, who would be there to watch when I rubbed Beerus into the ground?
Still, thinking about it left Frieza feeling a little unsettled.
My battle power could've reached ten billion.
But now it's only six billion... and the Battle God Water is gone.
I feel like I still haven't reached my limit.
It's all that bastard Cooler's fault!
"Thump!"
Frieza whipped his tail hard, sending Cooler flying.
This time, Frieza had hit him especially hard, leaving a long mark across Cooler's body.
As he flew backward, Cooler passed out on the spot.
"Hmph. You're lucky you weren't killed!" Frieza bared his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
After glancing in Cooler's direction, Frieza returned to the spaceship.
"Berryblue, gather everyone. We're heading to Planet Beast at once. No matter what it takes, find me more Battle God Water!" Frieza immediately issued the order.
After all, Frieza felt that a battle power of six billion... might not be enough to deal with Beerus.
He'd probably need to reach ten billion to defeat Beerus, right?
That bastard Cooler!
He ruined everything!
Thirty minutes later.
Frieza's spaceship took off, heading toward Planet Beast.
As for Cooler, Frieza left him floating in space without a second thought.
By then, forty minutes had passed since Frieza drank the last sip of Battle God Water and increased his battle power fiftyfold.
Frieza's spaceship was heading toward Planet Beast, while Vegeta's spaceship was traveling from Planet Beast toward Planet Vegeta.
As a result, the two ships crossed paths in space.
Vegeta's spaceship had lost its navigation and communication systems, so Frieza's crew hadn't been able to locate it.
But now both spaceships were out in space, and as they drew closer, Frieza's ship soon picked up the situation aboard Vegeta's.
"Is that... Frieza's spaceship?" Nappa's mouth twitched, and his face instantly went deathly pale.
Vegeta: "..."
A thousand curses raced through Vegeta's mind.
Why had they run into Frieza's spaceship here?
Their luck was unbelievable!
"Did Frieza come here specifically to find us?" Nappa asked in a low voice, trembling with fear.
"Hmph. Judging by his heading, he might be going to Planet Beast," Vegeta snorted.
"Why would he go to that planet?" Nappa was baffled. "Is he planning to go there himself and relocate the Barute People?"
"Maybe he's going to Planet Beast to look for Battle God Water." Vegeta clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Damn it, I miscalculated! I should've poured in some more Battle God Water!"
As far as Vegeta was concerned, the more Frieza's battle power multiplied, the better it was for him.
"I've been thinking about something, Prince Vegeta." Nappa rubbed his bald head, looking confused.
Vegeta glanced sideways at Nappa.
"Prince Vegeta... why did the Battle God Water mixed with urine have the same effect as the normal stuff when we drank it?" Nappa was puzzled. "Wouldn't adding urine dilute the Battle God Water? The doubling effect should've been greatly reduced!"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta's face darkened, but he said nothing.
What kind of question was that at a time like this? What difference did it make?
"Think about it. No more than forty minutes have passed since Frieza got the Battle God Water and drank it," Vegeta said with a snort. "He still has at least twenty minutes before he enters his weakened state!"
"Twenty minutes!" Nappa's expression changed. Then he asked, "But come to think of it, when does that one-hour period of doubled power start?"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta resisted the urge to slap Nappa to death.
"Have you never drunk Battle God Water?" Vegeta asked coldly. "Do you really need me to answer such a simple question?"
"Ah... I wasn't keeping track of the time back then." Nappa scratched his head sheepishly.
Vegeta didn't want to speak, much less answer Nappa.
Didn't he know the hour started counting down from the moment you drank the last sip of Battle God Water that could raise your battle power?
"Oh no! Frieza's ship has sent us a warning, telling us to stop immediately!" Nappa's face changed as he hurriedly turned to Vegeta. "What do we do? Should we stop?"
