"Look, I only sped up a little, and you almost couldn't keep up. Frieza, oh Frieza, it is time for your era to come to an end."
With his back to Frieza, Vegeta spoke.
"You want to end My era? This is truly the most laughable thing I have heard in decades, ho ho ho ho~~!"
Frieza was not angered; he seemed accustomed to Vegeta's taunts.
He had secretly made up his mind to unleash his full strength in his current state. He refused to believe that Vegeta's combat power could exceed 100 million!
Although he could not fully exert his 120 million combat power, he could perfectly control 100 million.
Frieza's aura shifted, and a flash of light flickered in Vegeta's eyes.
In an instant, Frieza launched a fierce attack.
He spun for a roundhouse kick, but to his surprise, this unexpected strike failed to land.
His foot passed through an afterimage of Vegeta, and Frieza instinctively sensed danger approaching. Without a moment's hesitation, he used high-speed movement to dodge.
Vegeta's figure appeared exactly where he had been, but his punch hit nothing but an afterimage.
"Hmph! That's a bit more like it, but if you didn't have at least this much strength, you would be far too weak!" As he spoke, Vegeta suddenly turned sideways and raised his hand to block.
Frieza appeared at his side, but his flying kick was caught firmly by Vegeta, failing to shake him in the slightest.
"Yaahhh~~!!! Die, you bastard!!!"
Having failed to gain any advantage after a series of strikes, Frieza let out a hysterical scream.
His devilish assault poured down like a torrential storm, every move lethal and carrying an aura of absolute slaughter.
With power at this level, a casual strike was enough to shatter the earth. They were fighting in the air; had they been on the ground, nearby islands would have been devastated and razed to the ground.
A fierce battle unfolded, with the sky as their battlefield. Their strikes grew sharper, and the scope of their engagement widened. Even Vegeta began to get serious.
"That's it! This is a real fight!" Vegeta shouted, suddenly exerting his full force.
As golden flames ignited around his body, Vegeta caught Frieza's hands, pinning them, and began a test of strength.
Their auras exploded, their power pressing against each other, causing gale-force winds to howl and the heavens and earth to tremble for dozens of miles.
Frieza was gritting his teeth, a surge of intense negative emotion toward Vegeta rising within him.
From the start of the battle until now, this guy Vegeta had actually managed to keep up with his own rate of growth.
He was currently using over eighty percent of his power!
He had always been proud of this strength. Even if it didn't compare to his bastard brother, in his eyes, this power was invincible.
Yet now, thanks to his Super Saiyan transformation, this guy Vegeta was able to fight him head-on and was even faintly suppressing him.
The fire of his frustration fueled an even greater release of power, causing Frieza's strength to swell.
Vegeta felt it clearly and grew even more excited.
If his own strength hadn't far exceeded Frieza's, he might indeed have had the situation turned against him by now.
"I won't give you any more chances! Frieza, this look of incompetent rage is exactly what I wanted to see!" As he delivered this critique, the golden flames around Vegeta suddenly expanded.
With this burst, a look of terror flashed across Frieza's face. His surging, evil aura was completely crushed, and his power could no longer affect Vegeta in the slightest.
"BOOM!!!" A thunderous explosion rang out.
Vegeta pulled on Frieza's body with both hands, then freed one to land a heavy punch squarely on his right cheek.
This punch completely stunned Frieza, sending his body flying backward in a straight line like a kite with a broken string.
The assault did not end there. Vegeta pursued him, unleashing a brutal, death-dealing barrage.
A series of heavy blows left Frieza spitting blood. Only when Frieza was covered in wounds did Vegeta clasp his hands together and hammer him down into a massive island.
The entire island shattered into dust upon impact, and Frieza's body was once again buried under the rubble.
"This is the end, Frieza. You are no longer a match for me! No matter how you struggle, it is all in vain! I can tell you that even now, I haven't used my true strength." Vegeta's eyes radiated coldness, his words carrying down to where Frieza lay in the pile of rubble.
"RUMBLE~~!!!!"
Provoked by Vegeta's words, Frieza erupted once more, pulverizing all the rubble pinning him down.
He stood up again, though he looked disheveled, completely stripped of the demeanor of a Universe Emperor.
"You have truly angered me, Vegeta!!! I will grind your bones to dust and make you regret the consequences of provoking Me!!" Frieza roared through gritted teeth.
This display, while seemingly ferocious and terrifying, was utterly laughable in Vegeta's eyes.
"A death throe. Even if you bring out that last bit of pathetic power now, you are still no match for me." Vegeta smiled coldly.
He could feel Frieza unlocking the final barrier within his body.
As he channeled and released that power, his body began to expand.
According to the intelligence Vegeta possessed, Frieza would never use this power unless absolutely necessary, as he could not fully control it and it would cause damage to his own body.
In the original history, it was only at the final moment that Frieza had no choice but to use this power against Kakarot.
Now that Frieza had brought it out, it meant he was truly afraid of him.
Otherwise, he would not have been so desperate.
Standing tall in the air, Vegeta did not hesitate once he sensed Frieza's energy reaching its peak; he unleashed all the Saiyan energy within his body in one go.
A terrifying golden light shot into the sky, and the momentum Vegeta displayed was even greater than Frieza's.
As their eyes met, Frieza's gaze was momentarily vacant, cowed by the intensity in Vegeta's eyes. But soon, the resentment swelling in his heart made him realize how he could possibly fear a mere wild monkey.
"I will have you dead!!" Fueled by the power brought on by his rage, Frieza shook off the hesitation caused by his fear.
Yet, just as he lunged in front of Vegeta, his attack was effortlessly dodged.
The next second, Vegeta gave him no chance to launch a follow-up strike, sending him flying once again with a single punch.
