Suddenly!

BOOM--!

The roar of an engine tore through the sky as a spaceship descended from the heavens.

At the same time, four figures streaked toward the scene.

"Who goes there?"

High above, Frieza, who had been planning to transform directly into his final form, whipped his head around.

"Frieza, long time no see!" Vegeta appeared on the scene in the blink of an eye.

Son Goku followed close behind. He had been focused entirely on Frieza, but upon catching sight of Bardock, he froze.

He was stunned!

Seeing this, Bardock was also taken aback.

It was as if time itself had come to a standstill!

A strange sensation welled up in Son Goku's heart.

Ever since he reached adulthood and his mind had matured, he knew he wasn't an Earthling, and he knew Raditz was his biological brother.

According to Raditz, he also had a pair of parents.

Is that... Father?

Son Goku flew up to Bardock and opened his mouth, struggling to find the words.

"Kakarot, you've returned!"

Bardock pressed his lips together. He had so many things he wanted to say to his second son, but now that the moment of recognition had arrived, he found himself unable to speak.

"Yeah."

Son Goku broke into a smile. His older brother had been right; he and his father looked exactly the same.

The only difference was the two scars on his father's face!

While the father and son reunited, on the other side:

"Vegeta, you actually survived the pursuit of my legion?"

"Hahaha, I owe it all to you, Frieza. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't possess the power I have today."

Vegeta laughed heartily, his 170,000 battle power erupting from his body.

The sheer magnitude of Vegeta's power sent King Vegeta, currently in his Great Ape form, into a frenzy of joy. "Vegeta, what is your current battle power?"

This was his son, after all; the stronger Vegeta became, the happier he was.

"Father, I currently possess 170,000 battle power. If I use my full strength, we have 1.7 million battle power!"

Vegeta looked at his father and laughed.

Hearing this, King Vegeta was ecstatic. If they could reach 1.7 million battle power at full strength, that must surely refer to the Great Ape transformation.

Little did he know that when Vegeta spoke of his full strength, he was referring to the Kaioken.

The Kaioken was far superior to the Great Ape state.

Not only could the Kaioken cause one's physical strength and speed to skyrocket, but it also allowed the body to maintain its agility.

These were things the Great Ape state could never compare to.

"Is 1.7 million battle power supposed to be strong?"

Frieza hovered in the void with his arms crossed, his anger seemingly having vanished.

He intended to use his full power!

At full strength, aside from that Candidate God of Destruction, the God of Destruction Beerus, and Majin Buu, no one in this universe would be his match.

"1.7 million battle power isn't strong? Hahaha, that's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard."

Vegeta cracked his neck and said coldly:

"Frieza, there are now three Great Apes with over a million battle power. Add Kakarot and me to the mix, and you are now facing five powerhouses with over a million battle power!"

Vegeta paused, then laughed loudly: "Are you prepared to die?"

"Wait!"

Bardock flew to the front, clutching his severely wounded abdomen, and said in a grave voice: "Frieza, you just said you would no longer hide your power? Does this mean this still isn't your full strength?"

"What?"

Vegeta was startled.

He snapped his gaze toward Frieza.

King Vegeta, Bibert, and Theodore all turned their eyes toward Frieza as well.

The other Saiyan warriors, having finished their own battles, stared intently at Frieza.

Frieza merely wore a playful expression, seemingly confirming Bardock's words.

"How is this possible!"

"This must be fake!"

"He was still hiding his power? I don't believe it!"

The 1,500 Saiyan warriors behind King Vegeta clamored in disbelief, their faces etched with shock.

"Hahaha, then I shall be frank. This transformation I am currently using is actually the first one I have unlocked. I can still unlock two more transformations just like this one!"

Frieza clenched his fists, his face twisting into a hideous grin: "Each time I unlock a transformation, I become stronger than the last. In my final form, I will possess a combat power of 60 million!!"

Frieza was not telling the truth; in reality, he had an even more powerful transformation, one that granted him a combat power of 120 million.

But it simply consumed too much stamina!

That was the reason Frieza had not told the whole truth.

"Vegeta, are you prepared for death?" Frieza threw Vegeta's own words back at him.

Immediately after.

Frieza stirred the power within his body and began to erupt.

"Stop him! Regardless of whether he is lying or not, stop him now!!!!"

Vegeta shouted in terror.

"Kakarot, hurry, 10x Kaioken!!"

Boom! A crimson light erupted from Vegeta's body, and a combat power of 1.7 million surged forth.

"Father, you are severely injured. Here is a Senzu Bean; eat it and you will recover."

Son Goku shoved a Senzu Bean into Bardock's hand, and he too erupted with a crimson glow.

The pressure of 2 million combat power made the sky hum and vibrate.

Bardock looked at the Senzu Bean in his hand and, without hesitation, bit down and swallowed it.

Whoosh!

A cyclone of energy burst from his body.

"Not only have my injuries healed, but my power has also increased!"

Bardock laughed heartily; this thing was truly miraculous.

However, now was not the time to dwell on such things. Like the others, Bardock began to unleash his power.

In an instant.

The three Saiyans flew toward Frieza.

The other Saiyans wanted to go up and help, but having received orders to retreat, they could only hide to the side.

Raditz and Nappa were the same; their power didn't even reach 100,000, so they had no choice but to fall back.

Namek was shaking incessantly; the ground cracked, and magma churned and erupted.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived!

"Good heavens, is this power something a mortal can possess?"

"Will our Namek explode?"

The Namekian people inside the Grand Elder's village fell into a panic.

Louis landed in front of the Grand Elder's house and looked at Nail: "Tell the Grand Elder to be ready to summon Shenron at any moment. There is a high probability that Namek will explode."

Nail said hurriedly: "Candidate God of Destruction, with your power, you should be able to stop all of this. Why won't you step in to prevent it?"

Suddenly!

An aged voice drifted out from the house.

"Nail, follow the orders of the Candidate God of Destruction!"

"Yes!"

Nail gritted his teeth and ultimately went to gather the Dragon Ball.

Louis flew back into the sky and glanced at the Namekian people in the village below.

"I could step in, but Kakarot might not be able to transform."

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to sacrifice your Namek for the time being."

"I will compensate you."

Louis muttered to himself.

He then looked toward the distance.

The three Saiyans tried to stop Frieza from unlocking his transformation, but before they could even get close, they were blown away by a powerful shockwave.

They hurled energy blasts, but it was as if an air wall surrounded Frieza, blocking them all.

It was impossible to inflict any real damage on Frieza, and naturally, there was no way to interrupt his transformation.

"It looks like Frieza is about to transform into his final form!"

Louis watched this great battle with keen interest.

Whether in terms of combat power or fighting technique, Son Goku was the strongest among the three Saiyans.

As for Bardock and the three Great Ape, their fighting styles and energy usage were truly abysmal.

As for Vegeta, it was obvious that his mastery of "ki" had become much more proficient; one could tell that he and Son Goku shared the same lineage.

Both had been trained by Popo.

However...

The fighting styles of Son Goku and Vegeta were still somewhat different.

Vegeta was more brutal, while Son Goku was more agile, as if he were following his heart, unburdened and indomitable...

BOOM--!

An overwhelming aura surged forth.

"He's entering his final form!"

Louis watched as Frieza's physique shifted, becoming increasingly smaller, yet Frieza's power grew ever stronger.

Frieza entered his final form, his power level restored to 60 million.

A formidable force erupted from him, causing the air to compress and emit a "hissing" sound.

Frieza seemed like a prehistoric beast, a sight that filled one with terror.

The Saiyans hiding far away had already turned deathly pale with fright.

"Frieza is still so powerful!"

"Kakarot, it all depends on whether you can transform this time!"

"You are the only one we can rely on!"

Louis still had not revealed himself; he remained above the Grand Elder's village, guarding the Namekian.

On the horizon.

Frieza had transformed into a short figure, even shorter than Vegeta!

Yet his power was horrifying!

The power he leaked inadvertently seeped into space, causing it to ripple with turbulence.

Gulp!

Bardock, standing in a standoff against Frieza, swallowed hard. What a terrifying aura!

"60 million combat power?"

King Vegeta shook his Great Ape head frantically: "How could this be? How could anyone in this world possess such immense power?"

"Do we still have a chance?"

Bibert and Theodore were dumbfounded.

Vegeta was also stunned into silence.

He had finally managed to train his combat power to 170,000, and by using the 10x Kaioken, he could reach 1.7 million.

He had originally thought he could take his revenge with this.

But who would have thought that Frieza possessed a combat power of 60 million!

In particular, he could sense that Frieza was not lying; Frieza truly possessed 60 million combat power.

"We can't win!"

Vegeta's eyes were hollow. Before the battle had even begun, he had lost his fighting spirit, muttering the words over and over.

Suddenly!

"Kakarot, what are you doing?" Bardock shouted.

Son Goku was seen flying forward.

Son Goku's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Frieza: "What an amazing guy! Fighting you is sure to be interesting!"

This scene fell into Louis's eyes, and Louis smiled.

The reactions of Son Goku and Vegeta formed a stark contrast. Son Goku was still the same Son Goku, never backing down when encountering a strong enemy.

And Vegeta was still the same Vegeta; before experiencing a series of hardships, he was always timid and shrinking.

Soon, Son Goku and Frieza began to clash.

Bardock ran far away. Without transforming into a Great Ape, his combat power was only a little over one hundred thousand, not even a fraction of Frieza's.

Going up there would only make him cannon fodder!

Therefore, Bardock hid far away.

King Vegeta and the three Great Apes charged forward, joining Son Goku to besiege Frieza.

Only Vegeta remained motionless in mid-air.

Even though Vegeta could possess 1.7 million combat power by using Kaioken, he now seemed to have lost his soul, without a shred of desire to resist.

BOOM--!

The three Great Apes were struck by a shockwave, letting out heart-wrenching roars.

They then slammed heavily into the ground, instantly creating three massive craters.

"Hahaha, damn Saiyan monkeys, let's see how you die!"

Frieza was incredibly delighted. With a light wave of his hand, he sent Son Goku vomiting blood.

As long as he found the Dragon Ball, the universe would be his!

"Damn it!!!!"

Hiding in the distance, Bardock saw his son being trampled and his eyes nearly split from rage.

"Vegeta, you are the Saiyan prince, are you just going to watch like this?"

If his own power weren't so low that he would only be a hindrance, Bardock would have charged in long ago.

Vegeta remained unmoved.

"Vegeta, you are a piece of trash!"

"Our Saiyan race has already broken ties with Frieza. So what if he has 60 million combat power?"

"Facing the enemy of the Saiyan race, you are actually afraid!!!"

"Trash!"

"As a Saiyan prince, are you worthy of that title?"

Bardock's fury soared to the heavens.

He could no longer endure it and prepared to look up at the moon in the sky.

A glimmer of light flashed through Vegeta's hollow eyes as he muttered, "I am trash?"

"Bardock, you are courting death!"

Vegeta's eyes regained their luster, and he clenched his fists.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

Without looking at Bardock, Vegeta shouted, "10x Kaioken!!"

His entire body erupted with crimson light before he charged forward.

Bardock had originally intended to transform into a Great Ape, but seeing Vegeta's actions, he stopped.

However, the worry in his eyes did not vanish; instead, it grew even heavier.

Frieza was simply too powerful!

They, the Saiyan race, had absolutely no hope at all!
