"This is it, Super Saiyan!!!"
Golden light enveloped Vegeta from head to toe. After the power of the Super Saiyan fully erupted, Vegeta's combat power surged directly past the 150 million mark.
The absolute intimidation Frieza had brought to bear moments ago was crushed and pulverized, ceasing to exist.
As their eyes met, the corner of Vegeta's mouth curled into a mocking arc, his gaze filled with ridicule.
It was exactly the same as when he had suppressed Frieza before, only now, bolstered by the Super Saiyan transformation, it felt even more direct.
"You, you actually transformed?!" Frieza clenched his fists. Even though he now knew this was a Super Saiyan, it still triggered intense emotional fluctuations within him.
As the Universe Emperor, he had always been wary of the so-called Super Saiyan legend.
To subvert that possibility, he had not hesitated to exterminate the Saiyan race, yet he never expected that a moment of negligence would lead to such a disaster.
A dog raised to maturity had turned to bite its master; in Frieza's eyes, Vegeta had become an ungrateful wretch.
"Isn't that obvious? Frieza!" Vegeta spoke arrogantly, his aura growing even more formidable as the words left his lips.
This pressure made Frieza feel once again that sliver of fear he had experienced the moment Vegeta transformed.
It stemmed from the oldest taboo of his race: beware of the Saiyan who turns into a golden-haired warrior...
Long ago, the ancestor of his race had died at the hands of a Saiyan who could turn into a golden-haired warrior.
Frieza would never know that the death of that ancestor, Chilled, had everything to do with him.
The moment Bardock was killed by him, he had traveled through time to the past due to a peculiar power, thereby creating the nightmare of Frieza's race and allowing the legend of the Super Saiyan to be passed down.
Frieza tried his best to calm down, forcing himself to be cool and collected.
Even if he was facing a Super Saiyan, so what?!
He was the Universe Emperor Frieza!! His strength was not something his incompetent ancestor could compare to!!
"Oh? I seem to see a trace of fear in your eyes again. Haven't even started fighting, and you're already thinking of retreating?" Vegeta narrowed his eyes, not missing any opportunity to provoke Frieza.
Upon hearing this, Frieza merely laughed coldly: "You really do know how to joke, little Vegeta. You know nothing of the power of my final form!"
"Is that so? Then show it to me. Don't get beaten into the dirt by me in a few moves again; that would be too boring." As he spoke, Vegeta raised his hand to point at himself with his thumb and added, "Also, I need to remind you one more time: you should call me Super Vegeta now!"
This behavior only deepened the murderous intent in Frieza's eyes.
To extinguish Vegeta's arrogance, he had to suppress him with absolute power.
"Then I will let you know that even if you have become a so-called Super Saiyan, in my eyes, you are nothing. I look forward to seeing you kneel and beg for mercy in a moment." Between his words, Frieza slowly raised his hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Vegeta said nothing, and Frieza remained silent as well.
The scene was deathly quiet; aside from the sound of the wind, there was no other movement.
"Die!"
After a long while, it was Frieza who broke the silence.
A Death Beam shot from his fingertip, striking straight at Vegeta's face.
"Snap~!!!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Vegeta merely raised his hand casually and swatted the energy away completely.
Frieza's expression turned grave and sinister. In an instant, Death Beams rained down upon Vegeta continuously, as if they cost nothing.
Facing this onslaught, Vegeta did not take it seriously at all.
Although the final transformation had unleashed nearly all of Frieza's power, making the Death Beams more potent, at the end of the day, the strength Frieza was currently displaying was only at the tens-of-millions level.
He was as conceited as ever.
Easily swatting away all the Death Beams with his bare hands, Vegeta stood rooted to the spot, motionless.
"You blocked them all with one hand?"
Frieza wore an expression of disbelief, clearly not expecting Vegeta to be able to deflect all his attacks so easily.
"We've reached this point; there's no need for the foolish act of testing each other's strength. This is our final battle. Let's settle all past grievances once and for all!!" Vegeta's eyes narrowed.
With a muffled "Boom~~!", his entire body shot forward.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Frieza and threw a punch.
Seeing this, Frieza felt immense pressure.
He raised his hands to block without hesitation, but he still underestimated the power Vegeta was exerting.
With a single punch, Frieza was sent flying.
However, this time, he did not lose his balance as he had in their previous skirmish.
In a short moment, Frieza regained his center of gravity, flipped his body to plant his feet on the ground, and launched himself back at Vegeta with a burst of force to counterattack.
Fists and feet collided, back and forth.
The battle moved from the ground to the sky, the power used by both sides grew ever greater, and the sound of sonic booms became continuous and unending.
It must be said that Vegeta had been suppressing Frieza the entire time.
No matter how much power Frieza exerted, Vegeta would always apply just a little bit more, ensuring that Frieza could never break through the status quo no matter what he tried.
For a short while, this might be manageable, but as time dragged on, it would inevitably lead to an incredibly stifling sense of frustration.
For a being like Frieza, this was even more unbearable.
"Don't get cocky!!" Realizing he was being toyed with by Vegeta, veins began to bulge on Frieza's forehead.
In an instant, not only did his power erupt with greater intensity, but his offensive grew increasingly ferocious.
Every strike was aimed at a lethal point, with no intention of holding back whatsoever.
This style of combat did indeed force Vegeta to feel a certain degree of pressure.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength was plain to see.
It only took a brief moment for Vegeta to fully adapt to this rhythm and use the opportunity to refine his own combat capabilities.
"I'm not getting cocky; it's you who keeps thinking you're invincible just because you transformed, and even now, you're still hiding your true strength. Since that's the case, I'll get a little serious and show you what I'm really capable of." Vegeta sneered, directly erupting with extreme speed.
He vanished from Frieza's sight in an instant, causing him to lose his target.
"What?!" Frieza was shocked, and after sensing something, he dared not act rashly.
Vegeta appeared behind him, back-to-back.
The atmosphere turned quiet once more; the battle between the two seemed to have hit the pause button at this very moment.
