Trying to Recruit the Emperor!

"How... How is this possible?"

"No way!!"

Even though he had been beaten to a miserable state, Frieza was still muttering to himself.

He still refused to believe it...

He refused to believe Mu Chuan could possess the bloodline of the Frieza Race!

"No!"

"I don't care what's going on with you, but that filthy monkey of yours is giving off the bloodline aura of the Frieza Race!"

"I will never allow it... I won't allow this to happen!!"

Frieza, already in a wretched state, suddenly roared and broke free of Mu Chuan's restraints.

His eyes turned bloodred as an even more sinister power surged from his body. Veins bulged across him, and his muscles swelled violently.

He grew a full size larger, looking ready to explode with power. A nearly black-purple energy aura enveloped him.

Seeing this, Mu Chuan silently took two steps back. He knew from the sight before him that Frieza was ready to fight with everything he had.

Wasn't this Frieza's 100% power?

His battle power had surged to nearly double, but he had lost speed. His strength was high, but his speed was low.

Facing Frieza's sudden increase in power, Mu Chuan wasn't too worried. Even while simply maintaining his Super Saiyan form, his battle power had already reached 1.3 billion.

Besides, he hadn't even truly unleashed his power yet!

When Saiyan blood and the bloodline of the Frieza Race combined, it wasn't a simple case of one plus one equaling two. It truly doubled his power!

He felt that once he unleashed his full strength, he would absolutely overpower Frieza as he was now.

He just hadn't needed to before...

Now, seeing Frieza unleash his full power, Mu Chuan clenched his fists. With a thunderous boom, the light around him grew even more dazzling.

Golden light covered his body, and purple lightning crackled all around him. His eyes gradually turned purple, and he began to exude an aura faintly reminiscent of Frieza.

His battle power soared in that instant!

It reached the threshold!

1.7 billion battle power!!

This was his strongest battle power so far.

It included the power born from the union of Saiyan blood and the bloodline of the Frieza Race!

It had more than doubled!

No one dared remain anywhere near them. The Frieza Force had either been wiped out or fled far away!

Now, North Kai was the only one still watching the battlefield. He was so utterly shocked that he couldn't even find the words.

These two monsters were completely beyond his understanding!

Frieza was one thing!

He was the Emperor of the Universe, renowned throughout the cosmos. But what gave Mu Chuan the right? How could a Saiyan unleash such terrifying power?

It was truly astonishing!

"This is terrifying... Truly terrifying!"

"That demon Frieza was hiding such frightening power, and that Saiyan is no ordinary fighter either. They say that among the Saiyans, an incredibly powerful warrior will appear—a Super Saiyan."

"He must be the one... I just never imagined a Super Saiyan could be this incredible!"

"He's even more terrifying than Frieza!!"

The longer North Kai watched, the more stunned he became. He kept drawing sharp breaths on North Kai Planet.

Far away, on Earth, everyone had gone numb.

Two terrifying auras had erupted one after another in the distant cosmos, each surging in power again and again as time passed.

They felt a pressure unlike anything they had ever experienced!

Even from so far away, they could feel those terrifying auras pressing down on them until they could barely breathe.

"They're so strong. These two auras are terrifying!"

"So this is the aura of the Emperor of the Universe? It's not only evil, it's terrifying. He can unleash even more power in such a short time."

"If a demon like this appeared on Earth, there'd be no way to save the planet. He'd definitely destroy it."

The Guardian of Earth said in shock.

Even Popo wholeheartedly agreed. Of the two, Mu Chuan's aura was even more terrifying.

It was even stronger than Frieza's.

It just wasn't as evil.

But...

They couldn't say for sure.

Mu Chuan and Frieza, at the heart of the battle, didn't care what anyone else thought.

After their explosive power-ups,

the fight reached its boiling point once more.

The battle escalated again, but Frieza was still at a disadvantage. His battle power had reached 1.5 billion, but he was far too slow!

His destructive power was also inferior to Mu Chuan's!

He was in an even more miserable state now. His injuries hadn't healed, making it extremely difficult for him to fight. He could only take blow after blow, completely on the defensive!

"Frieza, is this all the strength you have?"

"If that's all, then you've already lost!"

"You've lost to the Saiyan you looked down on!"

Mu Chuan's words immediately got under Frieza's skin.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho..."

"Saiyan! Saiyan!"

"If I'd known this would happen, I should have left you to fend for yourself in space. If I hadn't fished you out, none of this would be happening now."

"Indeed, I was careless, but... a filthy monkey is still a filthy monkey!"

"I, the great king, have never lost in my life. You won't be able to defeat me either!!"

A Destructo Ray gathered in his hand, growing larger and larger until, in the next moment, it had become a truly terrifying energy sphere.

Without the slightest hesitation, he hurled it at Mu Chuan.

Mu Chuan gathered a ki blast in his hand as well. A yellow-and-purple blast formed in his palm. Just as the Destructo Ray was about to reach him, he fired it!

It collided with the Destructo Ray!

In that instant,

the universe seemed to dim.

All sound vanished. Only the two terrifying energy spheres remained, crashing against each other. They seemed evenly matched at first glance,

but it was clear Mu Chuan had the upper hand. His ki blast was slowly consuming the Destructo Ray.

Even then, Mu Chuan had time to say, "Frieza, I admire your fighting talent. Why not become my subordinate?"

"If you're willing to serve under me, I can help you gain even more terrifying power and bring out your true potential!"

"What do you say?"

Frieza was a genius of the Frieza Race.

A true genius!

He simply had no idea how to make use of his talent. If he knew how to use it properly, his battle power would be far greater than this.

But he was too proud!

So proud that he thought he could wield terrifying battle power without training.

That was why he had let his talent go to waste!

Mu Chuan had a particular fondness for Frieza. If he could bring him into his ranks, he'd not only be able to claim sign-in rewards from him at any time, but also gain an incredibly powerful subordinate.

At the very least, he had a high starting point and a high ceiling!

Why wouldn't Mu Chuan do it?

But when Frieza heard Mu Chuan's offer, he seemed to take it as an insult and burst out laughing!

"Hahahaha..."

"That's hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!"

"Don't make me laugh..."

"Are you trying to take advantage of this chance to sneak attack me? What a ridiculous joke!"

"Don't make me laugh!" Frieza's expression twisted as he turned away, the veins on his face standing out clearly.

How could the proud Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, ever become someone else's subordinate?

He would never allow it or accept it!

That would never happen!

Frieza seemed to take it as a provocation. The Destructo Ray's energy grew even more terrifying. What had been a purple energy sphere suddenly began turning black.

A black aura spread!

Frieza seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

Mu Chuan watched it happen and felt a twinge of regret. He knew that recruiting Frieza was no longer possible.

That left only one outcome...
