Return to the Supreme Kai Realm

"Lord Frieza, please, spare me! Save me!"

As expected!

Frieza's caution had been entirely justified; Tagoma, that cockroach who should have breathed his last long ago, had actually come back to life once again!

At this moment, Frieza felt a flicker of curiosity toward Tagoma. This trait of his was quite something—to think he could survive even this!

Frieza no longer had the heart to kill him, however.

As the saying goes, one can be forgiven once or twice, but not a third time. Frieza had already killed the man twice; to do it a third time would be a bit inhumane.

Although many people felt that Frieza was not human, Frieza had always considered himself to be one, just a bit of an outlier.

Yes, that was exactly it.

Since Tagoma hadn't died, and despite being killed twice by Frieza, he still addressed him as Lord Frieza, his loyalty was certainly commendable.

Moreover, while this fellow's combat power was currently low, his room for growth was immense.

In Dragon Ball Super, the version of him that first appeared was a freak who could go toe-to-toe with Gohan and even beat him to a pulp.

Perhaps that was partly due to Gohan's severe decline in strength from a lack of training, but no matter how severe, he was at least in the billions.

This Tagoma, who looked scrawny as could be, possessed far greater potential than Dodoria.

It was just that his brain didn't seem to be working quite right!

A streak of green restorative energy was cast out, healing Tagoma's wounds, and then Frieza gave him his orders.

"Restore the palace. When I return next time, I expect to see an even more luxurious one!"

"Yes! Respectfully, Lord Frieza!"

Huh?

The way he spoke didn't sound like someone who was missing a few screws, did it?

Forget it, these were minor matters. The primary task now was to figure out why his soul was being repelled by divine power.

Originally, asking Shenron would have been the fastest method, but since he had just been to the Sacred World of the Kai and had memorized the ki of Supreme Kai Shin, he might as well go and ask him directly.

Supreme Kai Shin did not have ki, but that did not mean he lacked a presence. Furthermore, the presence of a god was unique; no matter how far away, Frieza could pinpoint it with precision.

He pressed his index and middle fingers to his forehead, sensing for a moment.

Whoosh.

Frieza vanished right there in front of Tagoma!

Tagoma suppressed the rage deep within his heart. Once Frieza disappeared, he began contacting the Frieza Force headquarters to have them send people to rebuild the palace.

Even Frieza did not know that the blow which had struck Tagoma's head earlier had caused Tagoma's consciousness to suddenly expand!

Swish.

Frieza arrived once again at that place of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and peaceful serenity.

The Sacred World of the Kai!

Supreme Kai Shin and his attendant Kibito once again wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Kibito was the first to react, shouting at Frieza.

"Frieza!! You mortal from the lower realms, how dare you intrude upon the Sacred World of the Kai again and again!"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Mr. Kibito, this is only my second time here. Where does this 'again and again' come from?"

"I don't blame you for being uncultured, but it is your fault for pretending to be a man of culture while being so!"

"Therefore! You must receive three punches from me!"

Kibito looked on with disdain, and Supreme Kai Shin wore a playful smirk.

Then, Frieza moved!

After his battle with Cooler and the use of Star Transformation, Frieza's bottleneck had finally been broken; his combat power had now reached 1 billion!

Bang! Pow! Bang! BOOM!!

A lightning-fast triple strike sent Kibito crashing directly into a massive mountain. Never mind that ugly head of his; even his oversized feet had vanished from sight.

Despite the durability of the Sacred World of the Kai, Frieza still caused significant damage to its surface.

The birdsong and fragrant flowers were gone, the peace and serenity had vanished, and the scene of the battle now featured two craters and a collapsed mountain.

Supreme Kai Shin's playful smile remained frozen; the events of that brief moment had happened so quickly that Shin hadn't even been able to react.

Since when could the Frost Demon Race enter the Sacred World of the Kai?

Since when could that weakling Frieza one-shot Kibito?

Based on the combat power Frieza had just displayed, he seemed to be even stronger than himself!

Unfortunately, he was still far too inferior to Majin Buu.

Otherwise, not only would he not mind Frieza's actions, but he would have spared no effort to recruit this god of slaughter.

"Supreme Kai, how long do you intend to keep that smile on your face? Kibito isn't dead, but he won't be waking up anytime soon."

Just now, his final strike landed squarely on the back of Kibito's neck. With such a forceful blow, Kibito wouldn't be waking up for at least ten days to half a month.

It was mainly because Kibito talked too much, and crucially, he couldn't tell the difference in their strength.

It was just plain annoying!

"Frieza, I haven't even sought you out for lording over the North Galaxy, so who exactly gave you the guts to come to the Sacred World of the Kai and provoke Me?"

Shin only cared about one thing, and that was Majin Buu, yet Majin Buu was also the one thing he dared not focus on.

He worried that his attention would lead the wizard Babidi to discover Majin Buu's hiding place, which would be a catastrophe for him.

Majin Buu was located in the North Galaxy, and every move Frieza made was actually under Shin's observation; it was just that Frieza's low combat power meant he didn't warrant any serious attention.

"The Sacred World of the Kai? In My eyes, it's just a slightly larger planet; there's nothing mysterious about it at all!"

"I came to the Sacred World of the Kai this time just to ask for your help. If you agree, then things are easy to discuss, but if you dare to refuse, I wouldn't mind paying a visit to the wizard Babidi!"

"On a certain planet in the North Galaxy, there is something that interests Babidi, you know!"

Hum!

Supreme Kai Shin shuddered, involuntarily taking two steps back with a look of horror on his face.

"You—! You—! How could you possibly know this? It's impossible! In the entire universe, besides Me, no one should know where he is!"

"Speak! Who told you!"

After the shock, only anger and fear remained for Supreme Kai Shin.

"Oh ho ho ho!"

"Lord Supreme Kai, does it matter who told me? Shouldn't the important thing be whether or not I go and tell Babidi?"

Frieza's words left the Supreme Kai completely stunned.

That's right, that was the most important thing!

Those who haven't experienced the terror of Majin Buu firsthand will never understand it.

Shin calmed down; things hadn't reached the worst-case scenario yet. What he needed to do was stabilize Frieza.

"Speak. As long as you agree to kill the person who gave you this information and guarantee that you won't leak it, I can grant you three requests!"

As a Supreme Kai, Shin making such concessions to prevent Majin Buu from wreaking havoc across the universe showed he could be called a qualified god.

However, this timid and fearful personality—especially whenever Majin Buu was involved—caused Shin to lose his composure, which was the most useless approach.

He was a contradictory person, yet also very real and very pure.

"Oh ho ho ho! Very good. I can tell you responsibly that the only people in this universe who know where that guy is are you and I!"

Hearing this, Shin let out a long sigh of relief.

Everything was still within a controllable range!

I promised six o'clock, but I'm late because I just drove out to the countryside.

Five chapters delivered!

Wishing everyone happiness!!
