Killing Frieza

At that moment, the scene on Namek was terrifying.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared!

Fierce winds howled!

Mountains crumbled and rivers shattered!

Lava erupted!

All kinds of planetary disasters were unfolding across Namek. It was like a living hell, and the sight alone was enough to inspire fear.

Boom!

Boom!

Two figures streaked across the sky. Their collision generated powerful whirlwinds, compressing the void into a vacuum.

Air rushed in from every direction, and a kilometer-wide tornado suddenly appeared.

"Frieza, die!!"

Son Goku seemed to move faster than light, appearing in front of Frieza in the next instant and kicking him hard.

The void seemed ready to explode!

Son Goku's kick struck Frieza in the abdomen. Frieza doubled over, spitting mouthfuls of blood.

The tremendous force sent Frieza flying into the sky.

"Frieza, you'll pay for my father's life!"

Golden light shimmered all over Son Goku. Like a golden streak across the void, he appeared above Frieza.

He clasped both hands together, forming a giant hammer!

Then he brought them crashing down on Frieza as he hurtled upward.

Rumble—!

Thunderous force poured through Son Goku's hands and into Frieza's back. Frieza spat blood again and let out a heart-rending scream.

Frieza slammed straight into the ground, leaving a crater a hundred meters across.

After transforming into a Super Saiyan, Son Goku's power had broken through to 250 million in battle power.

250 million in battle power against 60 million.

There was no suspense!

Frieza was no match for him at all. He was being beaten from start to finish.

As Son Goku continued to pummel Frieza, Louis returned to the Grand Elder's village.

The entire village was enveloped in a purple glow. The shock waves from the battle outside reached it, only to be dispelled by the barrier.

But...

As Son Goku and Frieza fought, Namek's condition grew worse and worse.

By now, the ground beneath the Grand Elder's village had already cracked.

"Candidate God of Destruction!"

Nail hurried over to Louis and asked anxiously, "Namek is about to explode. What do we do?"

"I'm sorry. I promised I'd help you get through this crisis. If I stepped in, I really could have kept Namek from ending up like this."

"But for certain reasons, I truly am sorry."

Louis looked full of remorse. "Get ready to summon Shenron!"

Nail glanced at Louis and clenched his fists. He was furious.

"Nail, follow the Candidate God of Destruction's orders!" the Grand Elder called from inside the house.

"Yes!"

Nail gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to do as Louis said.

The Dragon Balls were placed on the ground.

Nail prepared to summon Shenron.

Suddenly!

A terrifying power surged toward them.

It was Frieza's power!

Louis could clearly sense that Frieza had unleashed his full strength, reaching 120 million in battle power.

But...

After releasing that power, Frieza quickly weakened again.

Clearly, 120 million in battle power was no match for 250 million.

In fact, if Frieza had started out using his full strength, he might have had a chance.

Son Goku had only just transformed into a Super Saiyan and hadn't yet mastered the power within him.

Unfortunately!

Frieza was too arrogant. He'd thought the Super Saiyan was only impressive in name. By the time Son Goku had grown accustomed to his power, Frieza didn't stand a chance.

Rumble—!

Namek trembled more violently.

It seemed as if it could explode at any moment.

Louis regretted not bringing Whis with him. Then he wouldn't have needed to use someone else's Dragon Balls.

And he wouldn't have felt so guilty.

"Summon Shenron!"

Louis looked at Nail.

Nail nodded and spoke to the Dragon Balls on the ground. "#*+%..."

A golden beam of light shot into the sky, and Porunga coiled in midair.

"Greetings, Candidate God of Destruction!" Porunga said respectfully.

Louis nodded and hurriedly told Nail to make the wish: "Restore Namek to the way it was a day ago!"

Time was running out, and Namek was trembling more and more violently.

Louis could sense that, just like in the anime, Frieza, that despicable little man, had used the Planet Destroyer Bomb.

In another five minutes, Namek would certainly explode.

Nail repeated the wish in Namekian Language.

"That wish is simple."

Porunga's eyes gleamed in the sky, and then Namek began to change.

The lava returned to the planet's core...

The broken mountains and rivers came together again...

The fierce winds died down...

The thunder subsided...

Namek returned to the way it had been a day ago.

"Nail, I'll go finish off Frieza first. There are still two wishes left. I'll make them when I get back."

Louis vanished with Instant Transmission, leaving only Nail and a stunned Porunga in the sky.

"Haah, haah!"

Midair, Son Goku clenched his fists. Seeing Namek change, he couldn't help but stare in surprise.

Hadn't Frieza hit Namek with the Planet Destroyer Bomb? Wasn't it supposed to explode in five minutes?

How could this have happened?

"Son... Son Goku, why is this happening?"

On the ground, Frieza was missing part of his tail. Covered in wounds, he was on the verge of death.

Son Goku knew what Frieza meant, but he didn't know why Namek had been restored either.

He was just about to kill Frieza.

Just then!

With a whoosh, Louis appeared in front of Frieza using Instant Transmission.

In the sky, Son Goku recognized Louis. "Louis, what are you doing here?"

Son Goku descended and came over to Louis.

Louis turned to look at the protagonist of Dragon Ball.

Blond hair and blue eyes!

In his Super Saiyan form!

With 250 million in battle power!

"I've been here the whole time. I wanted to see you transform into a Super Saiyan!"

"You've been here this whole time?"

Son Goku grabbed his shoulder, furious. "If you were here, why didn't you step in? With your power, you could've killed Frieza easily!"

He'd learned about Louis's power and identity from Vegeta long ago.

There weren't many people in the universe who could stand against Louis.

"I'll explain later."

Louis pointed to Frieza on the ground, who was barely breathing. "Kakarot, are you going to let this guy go?"

Son Goku looked at Frieza, grinding his teeth. "No, I won't let him go. He killed my father, and he killed Vegeta. He has to die!"

?

Louis was taken aback. Had Son Goku really decided to kill Frieza?

In the anime, hadn't Son Goku given Frieza some of his "energy" at the last moment?

It seemed the butterfly effect had changed things!

"Let me kill him!"

Louis waved a hand and raised it, condensing a ball of Destruction Energy.

Hum!

Heaven and earth shook!

Frieza kept spitting blood on the ground. Seeing Louis, the Candidate God of Destruction, he was unable to speak.

But it was obvious that Frieza was full of hatred for Louis.

If a glare could kill, Louis would have died at Frieza's hands countless times.

Louis held up his hand, but didn't release the Destruction Energy. He paused for a moment.

"Forget it!"

Louis shook his head and dispelled the Destruction Energy. Instead, he used a ki blast to reduce Frieza to ashes.

Frieza was vile, but he might come in handy someday—just like in the Tournament of Power in the anime.

That was why Louis hadn't used Destruction Energy on him.

After Frieza was killed, Son Goku's mood sank. "Louis, if you'd stepped in, my father and Vegeta wouldn't have died!"

Louis turned to Son Goku and smiled. "Can't the dead be brought back to life? Have you forgotten about the Dragon Balls?"

The Dragon Balls?

Son Goku's eyes lit up. He grabbed Louis and shook him back and forth.

"I almost forgot! That's great! Now my father and Vegeta can be brought back to life!!!!"
