He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates abandoned him.
Just then, a purple energy blast suddenly tore through the sky, heading straight for the spaceship!
The one who had fired it was none other than Beerus, who had just finished licking the cream from the corner of his mouth.
He cast a glance at the fleeing ship, his golden pupils filled with disdain:
"A bunch of ants, daring to flee in front of this God of Destruction?"
"Get blown to dust!"
The energy blast moved as fast as lightning, and it was about to strike the ship's engine.
But at this critical juncture, a more dazzling red energy surged forward, overtaking the purple blast in an instant!
Like a falling meteor, this red energy carried terrifying heat as it slammed fiercely into the Frieza Force spaceship!
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion rang out.
That massive spaceship didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was completely swallowed by the red energy.
Flames soared into the sky, and the ship was instantly reduced to powder, not even a scrap of iron remaining!
Beerus's brow furrowed instantly. He turned his head to look at Lin Fan not far away, his tone displeased:
"Hey! Lin Fan!"
"Why are you stealing this God of Destruction's prey?"
"And another thing! Did you secretly hide the biggest strawberry from Ms. Bulma's Strawberry Sundae earlier?"
Lin Fan leaned against a boulder, a playful smile curling his lips as he waved at Beerus:
"Oh my, Lord God of Destruction, you can't blame others for being slow."
"As for the strawberry, Ms. Bulma gave that to me specifically. Who told me to be so handsome?"
Beerus was so angry his whiskers stood on end, and he turned to rush toward Bulma:
"Bulma! You're biased! I want an extra-large strawberry too! And ten servings!"
Bulma rolled her eyes, but still nodded with a smile: "Fine, fine, I'll give them to you. Just stop threatening to blow up planets every time you're upset."
On the battlefield, Vegeta looked coldly at Frieza, who was sprawled on the ground, the contempt in his eyes deepening.
He slowly stepped toward Frieza, each footfall feeling as if it were crushing Frieza's heart.
"Frieza, look at your subordinates."
"The Frieza Force you were so proud of is nothing but a group of cowardly trash."
"Right now, you look like a stray dog. Truly pathetic."
Frieza gritted his teeth, his scarlet eyes bloodshot:
"Vegeta! I won't let you get away with this!"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill every single Earthling!"
"Oh?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow, lifted his foot, and stomped down hard on Frieza's thigh.
Snap!
A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed through the air.
Frieza let out a shrill scream, his body uncontrollably collapsing to the ground as his leg twisted at a gruesome angle.
"Ah! My leg!"
Vegeta looked down at the kneeling Frieza, his voice cold and piercing:
"That's more like it."
"This is exactly how a piece of cosmic scum like you should look."
"I don't mind telling you, so you can die with clarity."
"My current form is Super Saiyan 4 Ultra Full Power!"
As these words fell, the entire scene erupted in an uproar!
Son Goku's eyes widened, his face filled with shock:
"Super Saiyan 4 Ultra Full Power? Vegeta, that guy, has actually trained to such a level!"
Piccolo gasped, muttering to himself:
"No wonder he could crush Golden Frieza. The power of this form is already beyond my imagination!"
Frieza was struck as if by lightning; he lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
Super Saiyan 4 Ultra Full Power!
So Vegeta's power had actually reached such a terrifying degree!
Vegeta slowly raised his right hand, a golden energy sphere coalescing in his palm, with blinding lightning flickering around it.
The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to begin to distort.
"Frieza, the game is over."
"You should thank those subordinates who resurrected you; at the very least, they let you live for a few more hours."
"Rest in peace!"
The energy ball in Vegeta's palm grew brighter and brighter, on the verge of blasting toward Frieza.
But just at that moment, the corners of Frieza's mouth suddenly curled into an extremely sinister smile!
That smile was filled with madness and malice!
"Hahaha! Vegeta! Do you think you can kill me like this?"
"Even if I, Frieza, am to die, I will drag all of you down to the grave with me!"
Before the words had even faded, Frieza slammed his hands upward and hammered them fiercely into the ground!
He injected the very last shred of energy within his body deep into the core of the Earth!
BOOM!!!
The ground suddenly trembled violently, and massive fissures spread out like a spiderweb.
Scalding magma erupted from the cracks, dyeing half the sky crimson!
The clouds in the sky were torn apart by the terrifying energy, and the entire Earth let out a groan as it struggled under the unbearable strain!
"Oh no!" Beerus's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and shouted at Whis:
"Whis! Hurry! This bastard is destroying the planet's core! The Earth is going to explode!"
Whis's expression tightened, losing all of his previous leisure.
He swung the staff in his hand, and a soft white light instantly expanded, enveloping Lin Fan, Beerus, Bulma, Piccolo, Krillin, Son Gohan, and the others!
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
Whis's voice carried a hint of urgency.
Only a few seconds later.
BOOM--!!!
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out.
Under the gaze of everyone, that azure planet shattered in an instant!
Fragments flew in all directions, and the firelight stained the entire universe red!
The once vibrant Earth had completely turned into dust in the cosmos!
"No--!!!"
Krillin let out a heart-wrenching scream. He fell to his knees, covering his face with his hands as tears streamed through his fingers:
"The Earth is gone! Our home is gone!"
Bulma looked at the ruins before her, her body swaying as she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were bloodshot, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her voice trembled:
"Dad... Trunks... and everyone else..."
Son Gohan clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms until blood flowed.
His face was etched with pain and resentment:
"Why... why did it have to be like this..."
Lin Fan looked at the scene before him, shook his head slightly, and a helpless smile tugged at the corner of his mouth:
"This Frieza is truly ruthless; he'd rather perish together than let the Earth survive."
He knew clearly that this was how the plot unfolded; the destruction of the Earth was merely temporary.
Tien Shinhan stood to the side, his expression grave:
"This guy Frieza is dead set on taking us down with him!"
Whis shook his head gently and spoke slowly:
"No, he will not die."
"Frieza's body structure is very unique; he can survive for a long time in the vacuum of space."
"Even if he is cut in half, he can slowly recover."
Beerus nodded and added:
"That's right, this bastard's vitality is even more tenacious than a cockroach's."
Lin Fan looked at Whis, his tone calm:
"Whis, aren't you able to reverse time?"
"Turn time back to three minutes ago, and we will still have a chance to stop Frieza."
Beerus's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chimed in:
"Right! Whis! Quickly turn back time! I still want to eat the strawberry cake Bulma made! If the Earth is gone, what am I supposed to eat!"
Whis smiled slightly and nodded:
"Of course, that is possible."
"However, my time reversal can only go back three minutes at most."
"Furthermore, everyone will retain their current memories."
"To stop Frieza, you must defeat him completely before he destroys the planet's core."
As he spoke, Whis cast his gaze toward Son Goku, who was standing to the side.
His eyes were filled with trust:
"Son Goku, the task of stopping Frieza is entrusted to you."
"Only you can completely suppress Frieza within three minutes."
Son Goku took a deep breath. He looked at the cosmic ruins before him, then thought back to the destruction of Earth and the despair of his family and friends.
He slowly clenched his fists, his gaze becoming incredibly resolute.
A golden aura slowly rose around his body!
"Leave it to me, Whis!"
"This time, I will never give Frieza another chance!"
"I will defeat him soundly before he can destroy the Earth!"
