With Enough Time, One Can Grow Stronger

Under Vegeta's brutal interception, the spaceship had no way of escaping Planet Namek.

It was fortunate that Vegeta possessed sufficient strength and speed; otherwise, once the ship cleared the atmosphere of Planet Namek, even though he could survive in the vacuum of space for a short time, he would never have been able to stop it from fleeing the star system.

Even with the power of a Super Saiyan exceeding one hundred million, he could at most attempt to pursue it with energy attacks.

Furthermore, this would only be possible while the ship was still in its acceleration phase; once it reached full speed, even an energy blast traveling at the speed of light would be unable to catch up.

Forcing the spaceship back down to the ground, Vegeta took control of the remaining logistics personnel of the Frieza Force and recovered the five Dragon Ball items that had been stored in the cargo hold.

For Vegeta, the culprit Frieza was already dead, and the restless soldiers who had caused trouble had also been dealt with. The remaining individuals were not combatants, and as long as they were willing to obey, he didn't mind sparing their lives.

As the saying goes, those who understand the times are heroes. With Frieza dead, if these people still clung to their blind loyalty, he would certainly send them to join Frieza.

Ultimately, the reason he kept these people was that they were the elite of the force.

One could not underestimate their administrative capabilities; they would be of great help for the things he planned to do in the future.

Just like the people on Planet 79 under the Frieza Force, the reason Vegeta had intentionally recruited and subdued them was with an eye toward the future.

Earth was too small!

Although the original plot revolved around Earth, in reality, the planet's resources were pitifully scarce.

Subduing these logistics personnel and soldiers of the Frieza Force would not only resolve many minor troubles in the future but also allow him to acquire sufficient resources from other planets at any time.

Vegeta was not interested in high-end technology, but it had to be said that once technology reached a certain level, it was truly formidable and could certainly help him improve his strength.

Even if developing these forces proved meaningless in the end, Vegeta was certain of one thing: it would definitely be of great help to Bulma in her exploration of the scientific field.

Bulma had always been hailed as the greatest genius in the Dragon Ball world, but in reality, there were still many fields she had yet to touch upon.

By giving her enough of a foundation and more opportunities for development, Vegeta believed that in the future, Bulma would not be limited to Earth and would inevitably head toward the sea of stars.

The future of this world could no longer follow the same old pattern.

If it did, then Vegeta would have truly transmigrated in vain.

"Lord Vegeta, as you ordered, we have ensured that the news of Frieza's death will not be leaked for the time being. However, there is one piece of information I must report: in less than three days, the Ginyu Force will arrive. When they do, they will inevitably learn of Frieza's death." The alien with the mushroom-cut hair, who served as the leader, stepped forward to report.

Vegeta had an impression of him from his memories; he was the Chief of the Logistics Department for Frieza's personal guard, and his authority was second only to Dodoria and Zarbon, far exceeding that of an ordinary subordinate.

At the very least, he had much more influence than the original body had.

If he could let them escape Planet Namek, he could then issue orders from the shadows and effectively control the entire Frieza Force.

After all, as long as the news of Frieza's death remained concealed, his status would be the highest in the force.

"No matter. Let them come. Once they arrive, they won't need to worry about leaving." Vegeta did not care about the Ginyu Force.

They were merely ants; he only needed to exert a modicum of effort to wipe them all out.

The reason he was hiding the news of Frieza's death for now was to buy himself more time to grow—every extra day counted.

After all, once King Cold and Cooler learned of Frieza's death, they would definitely come for revenge.

Not to mention the existence of the Dragon Ball, which could grant wishes.

Analyzing it according to the original plot, not to mention Cooler, King Cold would not be too far from Planet Namek. It was likely he had been heading for the Dragon Ball from the start, only to find Planet Namek already destroyed upon his arrival, leading him to find Frieza's shattered body among the planet's debris.

It was certain that King Cold would arrive at Planet Namek before long.

Vegeta was naturally confident in his ability to kill him, but his only concern was Cooler.

If Cooler arrived shortly after, it would not be good news for him.

For now, Vegeta needed time.

With time, he could cultivate on Planet Namek to a realm beyond that of a Super Saiyan and rapidly increase his base battle power, ideally to over ten million.

By then, even if Cooler arrived, he could suppress him with overwhelming force.

Returning to his thoughts, Vegeta recalled something else and slowly raised his head.

"Speaking of which, you will also arrive in three days, Kakarot."

As he spoke, the corners of Vegeta's mouth curled upward slightly.

In any case, Kakarot would never have the chance to meet Frieza, and there would be no more of the grudges and entanglements between him and Frieza that existed in the original story.

In space.

At this moment, Son Goku was undergoing training under sixty-five times gravity.

Since departing from Earth, his strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds over these past three days.

[Goku, Goku, can you hear my voice?] As the voice of North Kai reached him, Son Goku snapped out of his intense training and struggled to stabilize his energy.

A few seconds later, Son Goku looked up and asked, "Lord Kai, you've come to find me again. Has something important happened on Planet Namek?"

[Yes, a major event has occurred on Planet Namek, which is exactly why I am contacting you. The situation is roughly as follows...]

As North Kai explained, Son Goku learned the entire sequence of events and the ins and outs of the situation.

"So, that guy Vegeta really killed the Universe Emperor Frieza?"

[Yes, although it is a good thing that the Universe Emperor Frieza was killed, it is not good news for you at the moment. Don't forget, you severely wounded Vegeta on Earth and made him lose all face. If you go to Planet Namek now, I fear you will not escape death. So, I advise you to turn back to Earth immediately. Given how powerful Vegeta is now, he likely won't go to Earth to trouble you again.] North Kai transmitted.

As his voice faded, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, who were beside North Kai, all spoke up, urging Son Goku to give up on going to Planet Namek.

The situation there had stabilized, and at the very least, Vegeta shouldn't do anything insane.

Rather than Goku going there to throw his life away, it was better to avoid the sharp edge of his blade.
