The Death of King Vegeta

Back in the day, even his brother Cooler had never been so insolent toward him, yet now, he had actually been punched by some brat; Frieza was absolutely livid.

Frieza cast a cold glance at Dodoria.

Frieza's ruthlessness had long been no secret; he was a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and placed extreme importance on his own composure. Anyone who witnessed him lose his cool was, for all intents and purposes, a dead man!

As that deathly gaze swept over him, Dodoria felt as though he were being stared down by the world's most venomous snake. He trembled uncontrollably—he was finished!

Frieza simply raised a single index finger and aimed it directly at Dodoria!

Killing intent overflowed, and for that brief moment, the entire sky seemed to freeze solid.

"Hahaha, do you trash really think you can touch Planet Vegeta?"

King Vegeta, in his Great Ape form, opened his massive maw and roared with laughter.

The number of aliens was quite high, but they were unable to inflict any fatal damage on the giant apes.

Under the powerful onslaught of the Great Apes, the ranks of the aliens were thinning rapidly.

"Hahaha, Frieza, your subordinates are pathetic!"

King Vegeta lifted his foot and crushed an alien as if it were an ant, then turned to his followers and said, "Come, join me in marching against Frieza!"

Having wiped out a portion of the aliens, King Vegeta, transformed into his Great Ape state, grew arrogant, feeling that Frieza was no match for him.

Five colossal figures erupted with white energy auras and shot into the sky; their massive bodies blotted out the light above, plunging the ground into darkness!

The five Great Apes, their white auras blazing, tore through the sky like streaks of light, hurtling toward the atmosphere as King Vegeta scanned the area for Frieza.

"There."

King Vegeta spotted the largest spaceship, with Frieza hovering just in front of it.

"Boom!"

They accelerated once more, thrusting their massive bodies forward as they charged at Frieza.

At that moment, Frieza was still aiming his index finger at Dodoria.

Dodoria, standing beside Frieza, was nearly wetting himself in terror. Seeing King Vegeta and the others charging in, he felt as though he had seen a savior—he was saved!

Sure enough, when Frieza saw King Vegeta charging toward him, he lowered the finger he had been pointing at Dodoria.

"King Vegeta!"

A sharp glint flashed in Frieza's eyes. That child from earlier had looked remarkably like a Saiyan! Very well, he would settle that score with the Saiyans.

"Frieza, your subordinates are all but wiped out. You still won't make a move? Don't tell me you're afraid of us, hahahaha!"

King Vegeta surveyed his subordinates, feeling that in his current state, he was invincible. How dare a mere Frieza invade our Planet Vegeta! Unforgivable!

"King Vegeta, you are quite confident, aren't you?" Frieza stared at him with sharp eyes, speaking in a flat tone.

Those familiar with Frieza knew that when he wore this expression, he was truly furious and about to get serious.

And rightly so; to be punched by some inexplicable child out of nowhere would be unbearable for anyone, let alone an Emperor of the Universe!

"Let me see if you have the strength to back up that confidence."

Frieza used his scouter to take a reading.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"80,000."

"95,000."

"120,000."

Among these Great Apes, not a single one had a combat power lower than 80,000, with King Vegeta peaking at 120,000.

"Clap, clap, clap."

Frieza looked at their power levels and began to applaud: "I must say, you Saiyans really do have a few tricks up your sleeves!"

"Regretting the invasion of Planet Vegeta yet? I tell you, it's too late!" King Vegeta roared.

He then turned and signaled to his subordinates.

The other four Saiyans received the order and charged at Frieza in unison, launching a fierce assault.

To go head-to-head with Frieza—they were practically begging for death!

And indeed!

"You seek death!"

Frieza's previous calm vanished, replaced by explosive rage.

An energy akin to the detonation of a star's core erupted from within his body.

A crushing, overwhelming pressure permeated every corner of Planet Vegeta. The seas on the planet surged with violent waves, and gale-force winds whipped up unpredictable typhoons, as if the end of the world had arrived.

And this was merely the aura Frieza had released!

"What?"

As the aura erupted, waves of air surged and rampaged, so powerful that even the massive bodies of King Vegeta and his men could not withstand them, and they were blown over instantly!

"Impossible!"

After being knocked back and sliding a distance, King Vegeta and the others scrambled to steady themselves.

Violent gales scraped across their bodies, feeling as if they were being flayed alive, leaving them in excruciating pain.

The Great Apes looked at one another, their crimson eyes unable to hide the terror within, each seeing the utter disbelief reflected in the other's expression.

This was impossible; why would Frieza be this powerful?

If Frieza were truly this strong, why had he tolerated the Saiyan race for so long?

He could have slaughtered them all with the slightest effort!

The aura radiating from Frieza left King Vegeta terrified, trembling, and scared out of his wits!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

King Vegeta shook his head, still refusing to believe that Frieza possessed such overwhelming strength.

"King Vegeta, are you surprised?"

Arcs of electricity flashed around Frieza as he blinked in front of King Vegeta, his purple-black lips parting slightly as he returned to his usual calm and self-perceived elegance.

King Vegeta and his men trembled in their ape forms, the fear in their hearts manifesting in every shudder.

They had never seen Frieza display his true power before, assuming he wasn't all that strong—perhaps just a little bit stronger than them in their transformed state—and that if the five of them combined their strength, they could put up a fight.

"Too naive!"

"We were truly too naive!"

King Vegeta and his men were filled with regret; as an emperor of the universe, wasn't it only natural for him to possess strength far beyond the ordinary?

Only now did King Vegeta finally wake up from his delusions.

Unfortunately, it was a little too late.

"Hahaha, weren't you all so confident just a moment ago?"

Frieza sat back in his hoverchair; despite the waves of aura he had unleashed, he had deliberately protected his craft, leaving it completely undamaged.

"Care to guess what my combat power is?"

Frieza looked at them with a playful expression; he found that seeing the look of terror on his enemies' faces before killing them was the most wonderful thing in the world.

King Vegeta and his subordinates could not suppress the horror in their hearts; they wanted to say something, but under the crushing pressure of Frieza's aura, they couldn't even open their mouths.

"530,000. My combat power is 530,000."

"Hahaha!"

"How about that?"

"Is it a pleasant surprise?"

"Hahahaha!"

Frieza continued to laugh wildly, the anger he had felt earlier dissipating as he watched the terrified faces of King Vegeta and his men.

King Vegeta and the others retreated a few steps, their eyes wide with shock and horror.

Was the Frost Demon Race truly this powerful?

Was this a level that anyone could reach?

King Vegeta and his men had never heard of anyone possessing a combat power as high as 530,000; currently, the only way for a Saiyan to reach 100,000 was through transformation, which was not their base combat power.

"Alright, it's time for the show to end!"

Frieza sat in his hoverchair and extended a single index finger.

This scene!

The destruction of Planet Vegeta was at hand!

A marble-sized orange energy sphere appeared on the tip of Frieza's finger. As he poured power into it, the surrounding pressure became unstable, crackling and popping as if the space itself were being torn apart, instantly expanding into a circular energy sphere roughly 50 meters in diameter!

Planet Destroyer Bomb!

"Hahahaha!"

Frieza flicked his finger, and the massive Planet Destroyer Bomb hurtled toward the planet beneath King Vegeta.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Despite its enormous size, the Planet Destroyer Bomb descended with terrifying speed!

"No!"

King Vegeta snapped back to his senses, but the Planet Destroyer Bomb was already right in front of them.

Faced with the crisis, they shook off their terror and, alongside King Vegeta, simultaneously gathered five energy blasts!

The five blasts collided with the Planet Destroyer Bomb, but it was like ants trying to shake an elephant.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The collision caused the pressure to spike rapidly, generating a powerful gale that blasted outward from the energy sphere in all directions.

The fur on the heads of King Vegeta and his men was blown straight back at this moment, unable to stand upright at all.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Violent energy coiled around their bodies, forcing them to scream in agony.

The shockwaves they had gathered were completely unable to withstand Frieza's Planet Destroyer Bomb.

The Planet Destroyer Bomb pressed rapidly against the faces of the five Great Apes; the intense heat incinerated the fur on their bodies into ash. The unbearable pain from the scorching forced them to shriek and wail!

"Aaaaah!"

As the Planet Destroyer Bomb descended!

"No!"

King Vegeta stared fixedly at the massive energy sphere descending. Even using every ounce of his strength, it was to no avail. He looked at his subordinates beside him, their ape fur burning as they screamed incessantly.

In this final moment, a flicker of resignation appeared in King Vegeta's eyes, and he closed them, as if finding release.

"Vegeta!"

After uttering these three words, the voices of King Vegeta and his four subordinates abruptly ceased!

They melted.

A generation of the King of the Saiyan had just died like that!
