In the past, although the Saiyans called themselves a warrior race, they had always been a laughingstock in the Frieza Force.
Most Saiyans had a battle power of less than 10,000.
If they hadn't been able to transform into Great Apes, the Saiyans would probably have been treated as little more than cannon fodder in the force.
But this time, when hundreds of Frieza Force warriors attacked the Saiyan squad of fewer than ten on Tiwei Planet, those Saiyans displayed a level of power completely unlike anything they'd shown before.
Just a handful of Saiyans had routed the Frieza Force, and even the Ginyu Force, which had joined the attack, was almost wiped out.
Recoome, Burter, Jeice, Guldo...
All four of Ginyu's subordinates had been instantly killed in battle by a female Saiyan.
If Frieza, who had been watching the battle all along, hadn't noticed something strange about her and intervened personally, even Ginyu would almost have been killed.
The battle that followed also made Ginyu understand why the female Saiyan was so powerful.
It turned out that she was the Legendary Super Saiyan!
Even Lord Frieza had been utterly helpless against her. He'd transformed twice in a row, each time raising his battle power to an absurd level, yet he'd still been beaten until his skin was torn and his flesh was mangled.
Fortunately, in the end, the enraged Frieza had caught her off guard and used his ultimate move, the Planet Destroyer Bomb, to destroy Tiwei Planet. Otherwise, Lord Frieza, who had only recently been revived, would probably have been beaten to death by the Super Saiyan all over again!
"Damn it! Those filthy Saiyans! Now I have to recruit a whole new team. I wonder if I'll ever find anyone as capable as Recoome and the others..." Ginyu gritted his teeth.
Just then, the energy Scouter on the bridge suddenly began beeping an alarm. Ginyu looked up and asked, "What's going on?"
"Captain Ginyu! We've detected a high-energy reading up ahead!"
"What? Where?"
"It... it's right near Lord Frieza! It seems to be a Saiyan!"
Whoosh!
Lin Chen emerged from Instant Transmission and appeared where Tiwei Planet had been.
But the next moment, he suddenly found himself with nothing beneath his feet, and a feeling of suffocation instantly engulfed him.
Lin Chen hurriedly held his breath. Then he realized that he was in outer space!
Where was Tiwei Planet?
Lin Chen looked around and quickly understood what had happened.
No wonder everyone, including Hanasia, had lost contact. Tiwei Planet had already been destroyed.
And the only person in this area capable of destroying Tiwei Planet in an instant, before even a powerful fighter like Hanasia could escape, was Frieza!
Where was Frieza?
As the thought crossed his mind, Lin Chen sensed an immense presence nearby.
He turned his head and, sure enough, spotted Frieza not far away, looking just as astonished as he was.
After giving Frieza a once-over, Lin Chen understood. Frieza really hadn't died back then.
He must have been repaired with alien technology. This was Mecha Frieza.
But unlike in the original story, Mecha Frieza was in his third form, not his final form.
"Heh heh heh..."
Frieza's trademark sinister laughter suddenly drifted into Lin Chen's ears.
Since Tiwei Planet had only just been destroyed, some gas still lingered in this part of space. It wasn't oxygen and couldn't be breathed, but it could carry sound.
"Well, well. Who do we have here? Isn't this the Saiyan who nearly killed me all those years ago?"
Frieza sneered. Then his expression suddenly turned cold, and he roared at Lin Chen, "You damn monkey! You dare show your face in front of me so brazenly! Die!"
Without another word, Frieza pointed a finger at Lin Chen, sending a purple beam streaking toward him.
When old enemies met, their hatred flared all the more fiercely. Frieza had nearly died at Lin Chen's hands last time, and now that he'd spotted him, he didn't bother wondering why Lin Chen had suddenly appeared. He immediately unleashed a killing move.
The attack that had already killed tens of millions of people slammed into Lin Chen head-on, erupting in a blinding flash.
Amid the light, Frieza smirked. "You damn monkey! Now I've finally avenged myself! Next is Planet Vegeta. Every last Saiyan will die!"
"Die? The only one dying today is you, Frieza!"
Suddenly, a voice rang inside Frieza's head.
The next moment, Lin Chen emerged from the flash. When Frieza saw him, a look of terror crept onto his face.
Golden hair!
The Saiyan before him could turn his hair golden, just like the female Saiyan!
"You—you're a Super Saiyan too? N-no, impossible! There can't be this many Super Saiyans in the world! They're just the stuff of legend. How could they be real? Death Beam!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza formed three purple beams with the two fingers of his right hand and fired them at Lin Chen again.
But this time, Frieza watched as Lin Chen merely glared at his supposedly ultimate attack, then smacked it away with a raised palm.
Rumble!
The beams struck a passing asteroid and erupted in a blinding flash.
"What? How could my Death Beam—?"
"Frieza, is that all you've got?"
Using his ki in place of his voice, Lin Chen shouted at Frieza through space, "Come on, show me your full strength! I'm going to avenge Hanasia and all the Saiyans you killed!"
"M-my full strength? You wild Saiyan monkey!"
Frieza's mouth twitched. He formed three more purple beams with the two fingers of his right hand and fired them at Lin Chen again.
Lin Chen raised a hand and casually swatted the three beams away like flies.
A short while later, the three flashes lit up at three separate points in the distance.
"Ding! Junior Martial Arts Genius talent activated. Death Beam learned!"
Seeing his Junior Martial Arts Genius talent activate for the first time, Lin Chen felt neither joy nor sorrow. He simply sneered.
"You've hit me plenty of times. Now it's my turn!"
With that, Lin Chen's smile vanished, and he charged straight at Frieza.
Boom!
Before Frieza could react, Lin Chen raised a fist and punched him squarely in the head.
Whoosh!
Frieza flew away like a cannonball, smashed into a rock as tall as several stories, and burst through it, only to crash into another rock.
He kept smashing through one rock after another. It wasn't until he hit the seventh that he finally stopped.
"What's going on? What's going on?! Why is he so powerful? How can a Saiyan be this strong?" Frieza shouted, utterly unable to comprehend what was happening.
