Looking at a screen full of personal information that wouldn't fit on a single display, Saigo couldn't help but marvel.
"Sure enough, as a person grows, so does the amount of information about them!"
From then on, a training craze swept across Planet Saiyan every day, and the Saiyans' overall strength improved rapidly.
October 15.
In the distant West Galaxy.
On a planet named Cooler No. 123.
"An opponent with a battle power of 800 million? The Saiyans actually have someone with battle power that high? It seems Father and my foolish younger brother are in grave danger. They may well have already been killed!" Cooler analyzed calmly.
Then he gave a cold snort. "Hmph! Frieza is such a waste! What good is being born with high battle power? He thought he was invincible from the time he was a child, never trained, and even suppressed his own strength! Utterly foolish!"
"If he'd trained as consistently as I have, he wouldn't have been killed!"
"What a waste!"
Cooler was an exceptionally gifted member of the Frost Demon Race and King Cold's eldest son. He was calm and cautious, and never did anything unless he was sure of success.
He wasn't as talented as Frieza, but he loved training, so his battle power steadily increased until it surpassed King Cold's.
Because he was so powerful, King Cold sent him to the South Galaxy to conquer new territory before Frieza was born. Cooler ruled every planet he conquered himself.
Cooler stood 173 centimeters tall and had a muscular build, blood-red eyes, and purplish-black lips. Two streaks like bloody tears ran beneath his eyes.
White armor covered his chest, head, and lower legs, while the rest of his body was covered in glossy purple armor.
Like other members of the Frost Demon Race, Cooler had three toes on each foot.
"The intelligence report says that Saiyan has a battle power of 800 million, nearly twice that of my final form! Could it be that a yellow-haired, green-eyed Super Saiyan has truly appeared among the Saiyans?"
Cooler's expression darkened. He couldn't believe the prophecy of his ancestors had come true: a Super Saiyan had really appeared among the Saiyans!
And that Saiyan's battle power was even greater than his own!
Cooler was more solemn than ever. He considered this an extremely troublesome situation.
"I once heard Father say that Frieza only went after the Saiyans because he was following the God of Destruction's orders. Otherwise, he never would've lost his life!"
"But that Saiyan—let's assume he really is a Super Saiyan—killed my father and younger brother. I can't just let that go unavenged! But returning now would be tantamount to throwing my life away!"
Cooler remained seated on his lofty throne, resting his head on one hand as he quietly considered his options. Not a soul below him dared to make a sound.
Suddenly—
"Captain Salza! How long would it take to reach Planet Vegeta from Planet 123 at maximum speed?" Cooler abruptly stood and asked.
"Your Majesty Cooler, I calculated it before coming here. It would take ten months at the very fastest to get from here to Planet Vegeta!"
Salza was Cooler's most capable subordinate and the captain of the Armored Squadron. Besides his tremendous battle power, his greatest asset was his fluency in the languages of seven thousand different races across the universe.
For Cooler, who loved expanding his territory, Salza was exactly the man he needed.
That way, Cooler wouldn't have to slaughter every race he encountered just because they couldn't understand one another.
The point of conquering the universe wasn't to kill. It was to expand his dominion!
If he massacred the natives of every planet he visited, then no matter how powerful he was, he'd be the only one who knew it.
If no one else knew how strong he was or feared him, what good would all that killing do?
So Cooler generally ruled the natives of conquered planets as a colonial power.
"Ten months?" Cooler silently calculated how long it would take to raise his battle power to one billion, then spoke after a moment. "Pass on my orders. Halt the expansion of our territory. The entire army is to train for two months and work hard to raise its battle power. Two months from now, we'll attack Planet Vegeta in the North Galaxy!"
"Yes! I'll see to it at once!" Salza replied, then quickly withdrew.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of pressure. After training seriously for two months, I'll definitely reach one billion! Then those wild monkeys will meet their end!"
One billion was merely Cooler's goal for two months of training; in reality, he might reach even higher.
After all, in just four short months, Frieza had somehow gone from a battle power of only one or two hundred million to achieving the Golden Form, which could rival Super Saiyan Blue.
As King Cold's eldest son, Cooler was more than capable of ruling an entire galaxy.
After training hard, his strength would undoubtedly soar.
The Saiyans on Planet Saiyan knew nothing about what was happening in the West Galaxy. Even Saigo was unaware of it for now.
It wasn't until June 4, Age 738, that Saigo learned there was another potential enemy!
June 4, Age 738.
Early that morning, Saigo used the simulator as usual.
[June 4: You spend the entire day practicing the Spirit Refining Method.]
[June 6: You still spend the entire day practicing the Spirit Refining Method.]
[July 4: You spend the entire day practicing the Spirit Refining Method.]
[August 4: You spend the whole day practicing the Spirit Refining Method.]
[September 4: You once again spend the entire day practicing the Spirit Refining Method.]
[October 2: You continue doggedly practicing the Spirit Refining Method!]
[October 3: Cooler suddenly leads a huge army in an attack on Planet Saiyan. You sense that the Cooler Legion is vast and powerful, so you choose to face Cooler directly and challenge him to a one-on-one duel. The winner will decide what happens to the other's army!]
[Cooler sees through his Scouter that your revealed base battle power is only five million. Knowing that you only reach a battle power of 800 million after transforming, and seeing thousands of Great Apes below with battle powers of hundreds of thousands, he finally agrees.]
[You have Cooler announce the wager to all his troops. To reduce casualties among his army, Cooler has no choice but to do so. He also demands that you give the Saiyans the same order, and you comply!]
[A battle between the leaders of the two sides is about to begin. Spectators from both armies fill the skies above Planet Saiyan.]
[Before the battle begins, you take the initiative and suggest fighting in space. Cooler is surprised that you can survive there, too.]
[You face Cooler in your base form, but you're no match for him. You immediately use the Super Saiyan Partial Manifestation Form, but can only fight his normal form to a draw!]
[Seeing that his normal form can't defeat you, Cooler uses his final form. You transform into the Mimic Super Saiyan Form to test just how powerful he is. The fight ends in a draw—or, more accurately, you're at a disadvantage.]
You and Cooler are unable to overcome each other. Cooler suggests that both sides make peace and withdraw, so neither army will suffer losses. But you have no intention of letting him go. You transform directly into the Full Power Super Saiyan Form and unleash your full strength.
Cooler panics. He abandons all pretense of being the Cosmic Emperor and begs for mercy, but you know the Frost Demon Race can't be trusted—and its members are exceptionally gifted. Ignoring Cooler's desperate pleas, you kill him outright!]
[When the members of the Cooler Legion see you kill Cooler, not one of them tries to flee or seek revenge. In the end, you decide to take them prisoner!]
[This simulation has ended!]
