Lin Fan was still silently adding to his thoughts: this guy reached his Golden Form in four months, so his talent could truly be considered exaggerated on a cosmic scale.
What a pity, though; his opponent was Vegeta, the Saiyan prince who had been trained to the brink of death in hell by Whis alongside Son Goku!
Forget four months—even if you gave him another forty years, he wouldn't even be able to touch Vegeta's heels!
On the battlefield, Frieza's attacks were still like a violent storm, but in Vegeta's eyes, this was no different from children playing house.
Vegeta even had the spare time to mock him:
"Frieza, are you dancing for me?"
"With these soft, limp moves, even a three-year-old has more strength than you!"
"Back on Namek, you were beaten until you cried for your daddy, and now that the wound has healed, you've forgotten the pain and dare to come to Earth to run wild?"
"I think you're tired of living!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Frieza's movements came to a sudden halt, the ferocity on his face instantly replaced by humiliation.
That crushing defeat on Namek was the greatest shame of his life!
Vegeta was actually ripping open his old wounds in front of everyone!
"Ahhhhh! Vegeta! I'm going to tear you to shreds!"
Frieza had completely lost his mind, his aura surging to its absolute limit, the golden light so intense it was nearly blinding.
His speed spiked, his fist carrying a sonic boom that tore through the air as he smashed it toward Vegeta's face!
"Too slow!"
Vegeta shook his head lightly, shifting his body slightly to the side and dodging Frieza's fist with ease.
Immediately after, his figure turned into a blur, flickering constantly around Frieza.
Frieza's attacks were like a headless fly, flailing wildly in place, unable to even touch Vegeta's shadow.
"I'm done playing!"
Vegeta's voice rang out suddenly, and in the next second, he appeared behind Frieza.
He raised his leg and delivered a fierce side kick!
Bang!
The kick landed solidly on the small of Frieza's back.
Frieza let out a shrill, miserable scream, his body flying like a cannonball and slamming hard into a pile of boulders in the distance.
Boom!
The continuous pile of boulders collapsed instantly, dust filling the air as debris flew everywhere.
Frieza's body was buried beneath the rubble, unable to move for a long time.
In the distance, Piccolo saw this scene and his tense nerves finally relaxed; he let out a long sigh of relief:
"Great, Vegeta has completely taken the upper hand!"
"Frieza is no match for him at all!"
Krillin was also full of excitement:
"Prince Vegeta is so cool! This is the true strength of a Saiyan!"
"So what if Frieza manages to crawl back up? Son Goku is still waiting right there!"
Son Gohan nodded, a look of relief appearing on his face:
"Yeah, with Uncle Vegeta and Dad here, Earth is safe."
On the other side of the battlefield, inside the Frieza Force spaceship, a group of trembling soldiers was watching the carnage through the portholes.
Seeing their Lord being toyed with like a ball by Vegeta, their faces turned pale with fear.
"L-Lord Frieza is going to lose!"
"Vegeta is too strong! Lord Frieza is no match for him!"
"Why are we still fighting? If we stay any longer, we'll all be buried with him!"
"Run! Start the ship and leave Earth immediately!"
"Right! As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood! If Lord Frieza survives, he'll surely forgive us!"
The Frieza Force soldiers chattered back and forth; not a single one of them thought about saving Frieza, all of them calculating how to make their escape.
Soon, the ship's engines roared to life, the hatch sealed shut, clearly prepared for takeoff.
Just then, a heaven-shaking roar erupted from the pile of rubble!
Boom!
The dust exploded as Frieza's figure shot into the sky.
His body was covered in wounds, and while his golden aura remained intense, it carried a sense of instability.
His eyes were filled with resentment and madness as he stared fixedly at Vegeta.
"Vegeta! You have thoroughly enraged me!"
"Since you are courting death, then I shall destroy this planet!"
"I will make you and the Earth be buried together!"
Frieza clasped his hands before his chest, and the energy around his body gathered frantically.
Terrifying energy fluctuations swept in all directions; the clouds in the sky were instantly torn apart, and the earth began to tremble violently.
A massive purple energy sphere slowly took shape in his hands, its surface flickering with destructive light, causing the surrounding space to distort.
"This is... a Supernova!"
Piccolo's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock:
"Frieza has gone mad! He actually intends to destroy the Earth!"
Son Goku's expression also turned grave; he stepped forward, ready to strike at any moment.
Vegeta looked at the Supernova in Frieza's hands, not a trace of fear on his face, but rather a mocking smile:
"A Supernova? You dare to embarrass yourself by bringing out such trashy techniques?"
"You think this can defeat me? That is nothing but a pipe dream!"
Vegeta slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.
Golden energy gathered frantically, with crackling lightning intermingled across its surface.
A terrifying energy fluctuation radiated from his palm, faintly suppressing Frieza's Supernova!
"Big Bang Attack!"
Vegeta let out a violent roar and thrust his right hand forward!
The golden energy sphere, laced with lightning, shot toward Frieza's Supernova like a meteor!
BOOM!!!
The two terrifying energies collided, producing a deafening explosion.
Dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, and a terrifying shockwave spread wildly from the point of impact.
The ground below was instantly torn by massive fissures, and distant mountain peaks were blown away by the shockwave, turning into dust.
Frieza's Supernova was like paper before Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, shattered in an instant!
The terrifying aftermath of the energy slammed into Frieza like a tidal wave.
"Pfft!"
Frieza spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body falling from the high altitude like a kite with a broken string, slamming hard into the ground and kicking up a sky full of dust.
"It's not over yet!"
Frieza struggled to crawl up from the ground; his consciousness was already fading, but he held on with his last breath.
He spread his arms, and countless purple energy bullets rained down toward Vegeta like a downpour.
This was his final, dying struggle!
Vegeta stood where he was, not even bothering to move.
The golden aura around his body pulsed slightly, and an invisible shockwave rippled outward.
Those incoming energy bullets were all shattered before they could even get close to his body!
The black smoke produced by the explosions was also instantly blown away by this shockwave.
Vegeta brushed the dust off his body, looking down at the collapsed Frieza with contempt:
"It's over, Frieza."
"The gap between you and me is as vast as heaven and earth!"
Frieza lay on the ground, his body twitching; he looked at the unscathed Vegeta, his eyes filled with despair and panic.
He could not understand why his Golden Form, which he had trained for four months to achieve, was being crushed so miserably by Vegeta!
Just then, a massive roaring sound echoed.
Frieza instinctively looked up.
He saw his spaceship spewing flames, charging straight into the sky.
Through the portholes of the ship, his former subordinates did not look back at him even once; each of them was frantically operating the ship, desperate to escape the chaos of Earth.
They had abandoned him!
At the very moment he needed support the most, his subordinates had simply run away!
Frieza watched the spaceship flying further and further away, his eyes wide, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth as his body convulsed violently, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood.
His eyes were filled with endless humiliation and rage, yet he no longer had the strength to even stand up.
