Cooler is Swallowed by the Black Hole

Whoosh~~

Bang!

BOOM!!

Frieza reappeared, landing a direct kick on Cooler's shoulder that sent him plummeting deep into the ground, nearly reaching the core of Ice Planet.

If Cooler were to actually enter the core of Ice Planet, he might instantly turn into an ice sculpture, and he likely wouldn't wake up for ten million years unless he were sealed away.

This is the inherent flaw of the Frost Demon Race; once they encounter ultra-ultra-ultra-low temperatures, they passively enter a state of self-sealing. Unless someone extracts them, they have no choice but to wait until they adapt to the temperature to break the seal.

However, extracting someone from an ice core is easier said than done, and Frieza certainly wasn't going to test it.

What if he accidentally froze himself?

Ten million years later, he might emerge invincible, but what kind of era would it be by then?

Without the Dragon Balls, without Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and the others, what would even be the point of the Dragon Ball World?

BOOM!!

Cooler, his entire body trembling, burst out from the depths. Ice shards kept falling from his frame, and his mouth in particular was chattering uncontrollably. It seemed that even for a member of the Frost Demon Race, the temperatures near the ice core were unbearable.

"Fri~ Fri~ Frieza!!"

"You deserve to die! You absolutely deserve to die!!"

ROAR~~!!

The energy waves around Cooler surged wildly once more, but it was all for naught; this was merely an outburst of rage, and his combat power hadn't increased significantly.

Facing Frieza and his 2.4 billion combat power, Cooler's fate was already sealed.

Increasing combat power by shouting isn't a talent of the Frost Demon Race; that is a skill exclusive to the Saiyans.

Back on Namek, even when first transforming into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta's rage allowed his 150 million combat power to soar to 200 million—a one-third increase in an instant, which was nothing short of terrifying.

When Son Goku grew angry, his first transformation into a Super Saiyan reached a combat power of 300 million!

One must realize that for the first stage of Super Saiyan, even at full power according to the original work, the combat power capped out at 1.5 billion—and that was only achieved after Son Goku had died!

Son Goku had already reached one-fifth of that stage's peak combat power right from the start, which was truly terrifying.

Of course, individuals like Cooler and Frieza of the Frost Demon Race also belong to the "cheat-using" crowd.

Cooler's final transformation increased his combat power by a full billion; 1.5 billion was already on par with a full-power Super Saiyan.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Scream all you want. No one can hear you, and no matter how loudly you scream, you will never surpass me!"

"Lord Frieza! I~ I heard you!"

A voice, humble to the very bone, suddenly emerged. It was Tagoma, who had been hiding behind a massive block of ice!

That was a bit of a slap in the face!

SHOO~~ SHOO~!

Two Death Beams shot from Frieza's eyes. Two bloody holes appeared on Tagoma's left chest and lower abdomen. The blood that had just begun to flow was instantly frozen by the low temperature of Ice Planet, which also prevented Tagoma from losing too much blood and contaminating the environment.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho!! This time, surely no one can hear your screams. Go ahead, keep screaming!"

"Lord Fri~ Frieza, I'm still alive!"

Tagoma's heart was different from others; it was located on the right side of his body, which was why the previous Death Beams had failed to claim his life.

Cooler was stunned!

Then!

"Oh-ha-ha-ha!! Frieza, oh Frieza, are you trying to laugh me to death so you can inherit my forces?!"

Frieza's face turned as black as charcoal. This damn fool, had he lost his mind?!

This time, Frieza extended his finger directly, and a Death Beam accurately struck Tagoma's forehead.

Tagoma was dead. This time, his breathing had ceased entirely, all because of his loose tongue!

"Frieza!! Go to hell!!"

Cooler had been charging his energy the entire time, waiting for the exact moment Frieza killed Tagoma in his rage.

At this moment, a sphere of energy a kilometer in diameter had gathered in his hands, which he then slammed down toward the top of Frieza's head.

"Destruction Ball!!!"

Frieza's gaze sharpened. The power of Cooler's Destruction Ball was not to be underestimated; if it struck Ice Planet directly, everything except the ice core would be reduced to nothingness.

At the same time, his clone, created by Shenron, would also be obliterated.

Although it was a bit of a waste, it was still something he had spent a wish to create—how could he let Cooler just destroy it like that?

Did he, Frieza, have no pride?

"Star Energy Wave!!"

A seven-colored energy wave instantly erupted from Frieza's hand, racing to meet Cooler's Destruction Ball.

Visually, Frieza's Star Energy Wave appeared much smaller than Cooler's Destruction Ball, but the moment they collided, the Destruction Ball stopped its descent and was pushed back by the Star Energy Wave.

The gap in strength was simply too vast; even without the protagonist's halo that Son Goku possessed, Cooler still could not withstand Frieza's counterattack.

"Ah~~ Ah!! No! No! No! Frieza, Frieza, spare me! I am your older brother!! Frieza!!"

Whoosh~~!

The Star Energy Wave pierced through the Destruction Ball and pushed Cooler directly out into space.

Just like in the original story, Cooler was shoved past the atmosphere by the energy wave and shot into the cosmos.

What differed from the original story was that there was no star like the sun near Ice Planet; instead, Cooler was facing a black hole.

The moment he entered the black hole, both Cooler and Frieza's Star Energy Wave vanished, leaving no trace of where they had been transported.

However, Frieza was certain that as long as they didn't collide with an indestructible planet—or something like the sun, where extreme heat could vaporize a ki blast—Cooler would simply be slowly devoured by the energy wave until nothing remained.

"To think he entered a black hole; I wonder if Cooler is dead or alive?"

Frieza felt a bit displeased. He had used too much force just now and failed to execute Cooler on the spot. How careless!

If Frieza had used the Star Ki Blade he used to kill King Cold, it would have dismembered Cooler a dozen times over, and a follow-up shockwave would have burned him to nothing!

"Forget it. Even if he isn't dead, that guy will never be my match. If he dares to jump out again, I'll just kill him once more!"

Hoo~

Frieza slowly exhaled and deactivated his Star Transformation form.

It was true that Star Transformation could be maintained for a long time without placing a burden on his body, but Frieza still deactivated the state quickly.

Just a moment ago, after using Star Transformation for the first time, he had accidentally ended up on King Kai Planet the moment he exerted force. This discovery felt truly incredible to Frieza.

Especially during the recent battle, he could feel the starlight surrounding his body constantly seeping into him.

Frieza had a hunch: that starlight was what people called the power of gods!

If this divine power were controllable, Frieza would have accepted it all without a moment's hesitation.

However, after this starlight entered his body, it actually began to reject his soul!

That was absolutely absurd!

This discovery had terrified Frieza, which was exactly why he had used too much force and ended up sending Cooler off Ice Planet.

Could it be that because my soul doesn't belong to this world, the power of gods is rejecting me?

Frieza muttered this in his heart. After the incident with Tagoma, he was worried that other anomalies might appear on Ice Planet and overhear him.

After all, this was Frieza's greatest secret!

Without exception!
