The Tyrannical Cooler, Frieza Ran to the Wrong Theater

By the time Frieza reached the count of nine, Cooler had finished his transformation.

Two thick, tentacle-like protrusions sprouted from his forehead, forming a 'V' shape.

Two ears extended outward, transforming into another pair of tentacles, and with one more added to the mix, they formed a five-pointed star.

His chest armor-like muscles turned white, his abdomen and limbs shifted to a deep purple, and his height increased significantly, now matching Frieza's own.

If there was one thing Frieza found satisfying about this fourth transformation, it was the increase in stature; as for the rest, he could only offer a dismissive scoff.

He was capable of transforming too, but he would rather die than do so; his chosen path of development was different from Cooler's.

He preferred the Saiyan approach—changing hair style and color—but that was impossible for him, as Frieza had no hair.

Thus, he simply made his skin change color, and in a way that could be reverted at will.

"Frieza!! Now, it is time for you to taste the agony of wailing! Do not resist; it feels quite exhilarating!"

Cooler regained his confidence, but unfortunately, a single gesture from Frieza shattered his composure.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho!!"

"You~~~"

Bang!!

Frieza's mocking laughter caused Cooler to go all out instantly. With a combat power of a full 1.5 billion, his iron-hard fist slammed viciously into Frieza's chest.

Boom~~

Caught off guard and unable to dodge in time, Frieza took the blow directly, crashing through the entire palace.

Amidst the ruins, Frieza coughed up a mouthful of blood. The searing pain in his chest ignited a towering rage!

Had he not forcibly retreated half a step at the very last moment, preventing Cooler's punch from landing with full force, the nearly twofold gap in power might have left Frieza unable to stand.

Boom!!

Roar~~!!

Frieza was furious. A purple shockwave surged into the sky, his combat power of over 800 million erupting completely, blasting the ruins of the palace away.

Creak~ Creak!

"1.5 billion in combat power, is that all you have?"

"Still talking tough, Frieza? Can you not laugh anymore? Very soon, you will be able to go and join our dead father!!"

"Awooo~~!!!"

Cooler let out a strange cry and charged toward Frieza at high speed, the purple aura surrounding his body clearly larger than Frieza's.

Frieza dared not underestimate him; the gap in combat power was evident, and he would certainly suffer in a direct clash.

Consequently, Frieza used Shift again and again to evade Cooler's attacks, leveraging the advantage of his superior speed to land several heavy blows on Cooler in return.

However, in this form, Cooler possessed not only immense attack power and speed but also astonishingly high defense!

Frieza's strikes landed on Cooler without inflicting the massive damage they had before; Cooler only needed to pulse the aura around his body to deflect ninety percent of Frieza's force.

"Frieza! You won't win just by running away! Such high-speed movement must be draining your stamina rapidly. Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Cooler launched a storm of attacks. Frieza was like a lone boat in a raging sea, appearing as if he might capsize at any moment, yet he stubbornly dodged one massive wave after another.

Boom!

Cooler slammed a fist into the ground, causing the entire Ice Planet to tremble. More ice sheets shattered, mountain-like chunks of ice rose into the air, and even larger sections of the ground caved in.

Huff~ Huff~

Frieza appeared in the distance, his breathing now becoming ragged.

The nearly twofold gap in combat power made the short exchange of blows leave Frieza feeling extremely exhausted.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho!!"

"Cooler, today I shall show you my ultimate trump card. You are quite lucky; you are the first to ever witness it!"

"Oh~~!! Ha~!! Ahhhhhhh!!"

Frieza gripped his own shoulders, and the aura around his body shifted from purple to black, then from black to a prismatic, iridescent hue. Within these seven colors, tiny specks of starlight began to emerge.

Cooler sensed that something was amiss and instinctively fired a blast of energy at Frieza.

However, to Cooler's surprise, the moment the blast hit Frieza, the starlight within the seven-colored aura flashed violently.

Pfft~

With a sound like a creature venting gas, Cooler's energy blast simply vanished into thin air.

Frieza's energy continued to climb, quickly reaching 2.4 billion!

"Oh-ho-ho-ho~!"

"Cooler, this is my trump card: Star Transformation: Triple Wave Overlap!"

Cooler was stunned. What was this? What the hell was a Triple Wave Overlap?

A playful, mocking smile appeared on Frieza's face as he sneered.

"Do you feel uncultured and unable to understand? Let me tell you, Triple Wave simply triples my combat power!!"

"Although it cannot be used as freely as Kaio-ken to reach dozens of times the power, Star Transformation has none of the side effects of Kaio-ken, and its duration is so long it will make you question your life!!"

Regardless of whether it is 2-fold or 30-fold, Kaio-ken places a burden on the body.

Many people suspect that the viral heart disease of Son Goku was caused by drinking the Ultra Divine Water, but in truth, Frieza felt it had a much greater connection to Kaio-ken!

When the physical load reaches a certain level, the body will collapse, and that is absolutely the best time for external viruses to invade.

Therefore, possessing a strong and healthy body without overdrawing one's own vitality is the true capital of revolution.

It was not that Frieza felt Triple Wave, which was merely a three-fold increase in combat power, would be enough to defeat Cooler and thus saw no need to raise his combat power further.

The main point was that when he first learned Star Transformation, Frieza discovered it was incomplete; it was only after he filled in the gaps himself that he learned this Triple Wave.

As for the first level, Pillar Supporting the Sky, he simply looked at it with disdain and ignored it.

What a lousy name; it was far too indecent.

The name of the second level, Two Dragons Playing with a Phoenix, was even more of a lifelong pain for Frieza!

Because of this, Frieza had never used Star Transformation before he comprehended Triple Wave.

Although this so-called Triple Wave was also a bit indecent, feeling as if it were saying: "Mountain Split" (figure it out yourself).

But at least it wasn't quite as obvious.

"Tremble!!"

"Cooler!! You can go and meet King Cold now!!"

"Ohhohohoho!!"

Whoosh~

Cooler was instantly dumbfounded; this time, he truly had not seen Frieza at all.

Frieza was also a bit dumbfounded.

He had just intended to use Shift combined with Lightning Flash, but as a result!

He had arrived in an unfamiliar environment!

Here, birds sang and flowers smelled sweet.

Here, everything was harmless.

Here, there was a man with a tuft of white hair, not very tall, with grayish-white skin.

There was also a man with skin the same color as Dodoria, with quite a few wrinkles on his face.

At this moment, both of them had expressions as if they had seen a ghost, staring at the murderous Frieza, feeling their entire bodies go numb!

Ugh~

Isn't this the Supreme Kai Shin and his attendant Kibito?

Damn it, how did I end up here?

Now is not the time to make contact with them; these two pieces of trash are incredibly arrogant, and if I kill them, it will ruin the plot.

Time to scram~~

"Hello~"

"Goodbye!"

Shoo~

Frieza used Instant Transmission and left~
