Vegeta vs. Frieza

Frieza's mockery dealt a severe blow to Vegeta's pride.

"Unforgivable! Argh!! Frieza, die!"

The golden aura of a Super Saiyan was simply on another level; it was not something a Pseudo Super Saiyan or a Kaio-ken multiplied by several dozen could ever hope to compare to.

The battle was nothing short of magnificent, and nothing short of brutal!

Yet, no matter how Vegeta attacked, Frieza maintained a smile, extending a single hand to intercept every strike with ease.

Visually, the battle between Vegeta and Frieza did not look as spectacular as the one between Son Goku and Slug.

However, if you saw the state of the surrounding environment, you would understand just how immense the destructive power of Vegeta's Super Saiyan state truly was.

Whenever Frieza did not feel like blocking, he would simply sidestep.

At those moments, the power Vegeta unleashed would slam into the surroundings—the mountains, the ground, or the surface of the sea.

Striking a mountain, the mountain would collapse!

Striking the ground, the earth would split!

Striking the water, it created giant waves hundreds of meters high, exposing the very seabed at the center of the impact, leaving countless fish and shrimp obliterated.

The longer the fight went on, the more impatient Vegeta became, and the more impatient he grew, the more savage his attacks turned.

Soon, Vegeta's breathing grew ragged, and his movements lost the fluidity they had at the start.

"Vegeta is no match for Frieza; this Frieza is even stronger than Slug!"

Son Goku's eyes shone with intensity; he was stimulated by the battle before him, feeling incredibly excited!

Unfortunately, he had yet to master the technique to transform into a Super Saiyan. Although he had touched upon the threshold, he still could not successfully trigger the transformation.

If it were a Pseudo Super Saiyan, Son Goku was confident he could manage it, but that would never reach the combat power Vegeta was currently displaying.

Perhaps!

It was worth a try!

The battle between Vegeta and Frieza continued, but anyone with a keen eye could see that Frieza was merely toying with Vegeta.

Frieza had not even fought back, relying solely on constant dodging and one-handed blocks.

Yet, even so, Vegeta was on the verge of exhausting himself!

"Why! Why! Why!"

"Argh!! Argh!! Why can I not defeat Frieza even after becoming a Super Saiyan! I will not accept this!!"

Whoosh!!

There is a reason they say that in the Dragon Ball World, combat power depends on how loud you can scream!

And so, driven by extreme unwillingness, Vegeta broke through his limits once more, his combat power instantly soaring to 200 million!

In the original story, after the battle on Namek concluded, Son Goku had to train on Planet Yardrat for a long time before reaching a combat power of 250 million.

Although that was 50 million higher than Vegeta's current level, it was a figure Son Goku only reached after over a year of grueling training.

It was clear just how enraged Vegeta had been pushed!

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~!!

The golden aura expanded once again. Vegeta put some distance between himself and Frieza, his energy unstable as he gasped for air.

"Frieza!! If you have any guts, don't dodge! Take this!"

"Galick Gun!!"

Vegeta pressed the backs of his hands together, pulled his arms to his side, and twisted his body, shouting at Frieza.

Vegeta feared that Frieza would shamelessly dodge, and he knew he wouldn't have time to change the trajectory of a full-power Galick Gun.

If Namek were to explode, he would truly be beyond saving.

Vegeta knew clearly that Frieza could survive in the vacuum of space, but a Saiyan could not!

"Gohan! Krillin! Bulma! Hurry and go with Dende and Nail to summon Shenron! If the planet explodes, we're all finished!"

Son Goku looked at the crazed Vegeta and felt a flicker of unease!

He could disregard everything else for the sake of a fight, but he could not put his son and friends in danger.

Given his intellect, the fact that he could think of using Shenron to evacuate these people was already a miracle that would have made Chi-Chi burn incense in gratitude back on Earth.

Vegeta's Galick Gun would not pause just because Son Goku and the others needed to summon Shenron.

Krillin grabbed a Dragon Ball, and Gohan took the Dragon Radar, running off to search for the remaining six Dragon Balls scattered among the ruins of the spaceships.

They had barely moved when Vegeta's oversized Galick Gun, glowing with a pale yellow light, shot straight toward Frieza.

It was like a launched rocket, its momentum so astonishing that it left the neglected Slug terrified, his face turning an even deeper shade of green.

Pop!

Using the energy he had finally managed to recover, Slug performed his Body Extension Technique. His severed left arm regrew, and he scrambled away, chasing after Son Gohan and the others who were searching for the Dragon Balls.

Gaining immortality was Slug's greatest desire; he had already been old and decrepit once, and he was deathly afraid of dying.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Slug would never abandon this wish.

The true power of a shockwave lies in its ability to erupt with two or even three times the strength of the user's own power.

Vegeta's current combat power was already at 200 million; the reason Frieza could beat him to a pulp was that Frieza's combat power was 50 million higher than his.

Now, the intensity of Vegeta's Galick Gun had reached a staggering 500 million, and if Frieza didn't take some measures, sustaining an injury would be inevitable.

"Star Storm!"

Frieza let out a loud shout, extending both hands forward and leaning his body slightly backward, and a purple energy wave manifested, quickly colliding with Vegeta's Galick Gun.

"Ah~ ah~ ah!!!"

"Go to hell!!"

Vegeta screamed frantically; it must be said that Saiyans certainly have loud voices.

Fortunately, Frieza's physical constitution was different from ordinary people, and his throat was no worse than Vegeta's.

"Ohohohoho! Why don't you go cool off in space!"

Vegeta increased his power, and Frieza increased his as well.

At this moment, the gap in combat power became apparent, as the purple Star Storm was noticeably thicker than the pale yellow Galick Gun.

The scales of victory were tipping toward Frieza, and at a very rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, the Star Storm had reached right in front of Vegeta, by which time Vegeta's Galick Gun was barely visible.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!!"

Whoosh~~!

In the end, at the very last second, Thousand Jun managed to dodge the lethal shockwave.

The purple Star Storm merely grazed Vegeta's arm and side of his face, leaving behind only a few minor scratches.

However, the Star Storm was not just a fancy name; its characteristic was that it could travel through space without losing much energy.

Although it was mostly useless, it could certainly destroy a planet.

Because Frieza had previously worked for the God of Destruction Beerus, this Star Storm was prepared specifically to destroy as many planets as possible.

"Ohohoho! Mr. Vegeta, you don't seem to be my match! Would you like to have Mr. Son Goku take over? Or perhaps you could both come at me together!"

Watching Vegeta, who had lost his Super Saiyan form, Frieza once again let out that signature laugh.

Seeing that Vegeta had been defeated, Son Goku rushed in front of Frieza.

Perhaps Son Goku couldn't beat Frieza, but he could not let Frieza interfere with Gohan and the others as they summoned Shenron.

As for Slug, Son Goku had completely forgotten about him!

"Next, please allow me to fight you!"

Up until now, Son Goku had not seen Frieza harm anyone, and he truly could not bring himself to hate Frieza.

Therefore, there was a "please" added to Son Goku's words!
