On a planet called Patchi, a disc-shaped spacecraft was currently hovering in the atmosphere.
"Lord Frieza, the cleanup of Planet Patchi is complete!"
A fat, pink-skinned creature covered in warts bowed low as he reported to Frieza.
However, what he did not know was that just moments ago, Frieza's body had been taken over by a man named Hou Qin.
Hou Qin did not know why this had happened, but he understood one thing clearly: he had become the first major boss in the Dragon Ball universe!
He was a natural-born demon, a villainous character!
This start was a bit off!
It wasn't the typical path of gaining Saiyan blood, breaking through limits, and eventually reaching the pinnacle of the universe!
In short, he was an anomaly—an anomaly that didn't even have a gender!
He would have even accepted becoming a female Saiyan!
A long while later.
Frieza (he would go by Frieza from now on) learned through his memories that he had destroyed Planet Vegeta many years ago, and that even Vegeta was now an adult.
This meant that the Battle of Namek was fast approaching!
And it was that very battle that had paved the way for his opponent, that damn monkey Saiyan, Son Goku!
And he, the Galactic Emperor Frieza, had been reduced to a half-mechanical laughingstock!
As a transmigrator who knew the story of Dragon Ball, how could he allow such a thing to happen? Did he not care about his dignity as a transmigrator?
Looking at his seat—that thing only fit for an infant—Frieza felt extremely uncomfortable.
Bang.
The baby pod exploded instantly, and he stood firmly on the ground.
Creak, creak.
With every step, a sound like rusted metal rubbing together echoed beneath his feet. Even though he knew this was the signature BGM of his Frost Demon Race, he still hated hearing it.
He was also displeased with this body; the red muscles looked shriveled and wrinkled. He truly couldn't understand how the original Frieza could have accepted such a form.
"Dodoria, pass the order: we are returning to Ice Planet!"
His voice was not loud, but he trusted that Dodoria would respond immediately; being the number one lackey wasn't just a title.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!"
Three days later, the ship landed on Ice Planet.
Frieza opened his eyes.
For these three days, he had been familiarizing himself with this body, and just now, he had finally gained perfect control over it.
Feeling the surging combat power within him made him want to roar with excitement.
If a combat power of 530,000 was already this impressive, how exhilarating would it be once he unleashed his transformations to remove his power suppressors?
Frieza couldn't wait, as he had discovered that this was something that brought him great satisfaction.
"Lord Frieza, we have arrived at Ice Planet. King Cold is waiting for you at the palace!"
Hmm!?
With a single glance, Dodoria was so terrified his heart nearly stopped!
"Tell him to stop meddling in my affairs!"
Bang!
A red beam shot from his eyes, instantly blowing a massive hole in the ship.
A freezing wind that Dodoria could barely withstand blew into the cabin, yet Frieza felt a sense of familiarity!
Ignoring Dodoria, who was nearly frozen into an ice sculpture, Frieza flew out. He moved so fast that Dodoria could only watch as a black speck vanished from his sight.
Frieza arrived at the coldest point on the entire Ice Planet. Feeling the comfort radiating through his body, he laughed happily!
"Oh-ho-ho-ho—ugh!"
The laughter stopped abruptly. This was definitely not the laugh he wanted; it was absolutely, wretchedly annoying!
All his good spirits were shattered by that single laugh!
"Ah! Arghhh!"
Frieza felt that the environment here was perfect for transformation, as it minimized the strain on his body.
Thus, he prepared to transform into his strongest form!
In his view, while his strongest form was a bit short, it was also the most pleasing to the eye!
The first form made his body taller and his muscles bulge, looking very much like King Cold.
The second form was practically an alien, with a long head and those same red muscles.
The final form was petite and refined, with an extremely fierce gaze and ears shaped like two inverted small bowls—strangely rectangular!
Two lines appeared on his face, stretching from his eyes down to his chin, making it look as if he were constantly weeping!
It was incredibly unpleasant!
On his head, shoulders, abdomen, arms, and calves, there were purple, gem-like muscles.
His long tail looked full of raw power!
His entire physique had become remarkably sleek and graceful.
It was just a pity that the Frost Demon Race was an asexual species!
"Damn it!"
He cursed, and his mood improved just a little.
As for his 120 million Battle Power when unleashing his full strength, it was decent for now, but in the future, it would be absolutely worthless!
"Aaaah!"
Frieza began to display his power without restraint; he had to restore his strength to its peak as quickly as possible.
Hiding his true capabilities? To hell with that!
60 million! 90 million! 100 million!
"Raaargh!"
When his Battle Power reached 120 million, he felt pain spreading throughout his body—it was the agony of his physical form struggling to withstand the sudden surge in power!
"Aaaah!!"
BOOM!
After a long scream, Frieza slowly adapted to the power within his body, and the pain began to subside.
"Hoo... hoo... hoo."
"I have finally completed the first step. Next, I must maintain this form and adapt to it as quickly as possible, otherwise, there is no possibility of advancing any further!"
If it weren't for the fact that the temperature of Ice Planet was of immense help to him, he might not have succeeded in this transformation so smoothly!
This transformation was not the one from the original story, where his energy had been drastically reduced after being beaten to a pulp; this was a genuine 120 million Battle Power!
BANG!
He punched the ice surface, creating a bottomless pit. An even more bone-chilling cold surged forth, making Frieza's body tremble with comfort!
Without the slightest hesitation, Frieza jumped directly into the deep pit.
He understood clearly that only in an even colder environment could he completely stabilize this form!
And only after adapting to this power could he further increase his Battle Power.
One month later!
The ice surface, which had already been restored, shattered once again, and Frieza's petite, exquisite body returned to the surface!
By now, his breathing had become steady.
"Not bad. That idiot Frieza from before was just too comfortable; he couldn't even bring himself to endure this little bit of hardship!"
Beep! Beep!
The Scouter he had tossed aside transmitted a message.
Although this gadget was easily destroyed by high Battle Power, as long as one didn't actively measure data exceeding its limit, it wouldn't explode.
"Vegeta, Raditz has been killed, but he transmitted a very important piece of intelligence! Earth has something called Dragon Balls that can grant any wish!"
"Nappa! Turn off the Scouter immediately!"
The corners of Frieza's mouth curled up involuntarily!
"Oh ho ho ho~ ugh!"
