Aboard Frieza's ship, Captain Ginyu and the others held their breath.
"Why? Why are there two Super Saiyans? Have the Saiyans become this powerful?"
"Can King Frieza win? These Saiyans are terrifying!"
"Don't be ridiculous! King Frieza just killed a Super Saiyan! This one will be no different!"
As soon as one of the aliens said this, the people aboard the ship fell silent.
Then someone said nervously, "Wait, why isn't that Saiyan dead yet? When did Saiyans become able to survive in space?"
At the sound of this question, everyone aboard the ship sucked in a sharp breath.
That was right!
They were in outer space, and Tiwei Planet was long gone!
So how had that Saiyan managed to survive in space?
Frieza, too, had just thought of the same question.
He stared at Lin Chen as he flew toward him, his face full of astonishment. "Why? Why aren't you dead yet? When did Saiyans become able to survive in a vacuum?"
"Ordinary Saiyans can't, of course. But I'm no ordinary Saiyan. I'm the Legendary Super Saiyan!"
Lin Chen remained calm as he used the surrounding ki to carry his voice.
"The Legendary Super Saiyan? Ridiculous! You think I'll believe that nonsense?"
Frieza waved a hand dismissively.
But then his superhuman eyesight caught sight of a faint layer of light enveloping Lin Chen.
Frieza guessed that it was some kind of energy shield!
He was right. The energy shield was an innate instinct born from the bloodline of a Legendary Saiyan.
"If a vacuum can't kill you, then I'll kill you with my own hands!"
The instant Frieza finished speaking, he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chen and slammed a heavy punch into his stomach.
But to Frieza's surprise, his fist felt as if it had struck a block of iron. Lin Chen didn't react at all; instead, Frieza's own fist throbbed with pain.
"That's all the strength you've got? Frieza, don't you have another transformation? Use it. Or do you want to end up like last time, killed by me before you could even bring out your full power?" Lin Chen said coldly.
But a hint of anger smoldered in his eyes.
This time, Lin Chen was truly angry.
Not because Frieza had killed Hanasia, but because Frieza hadn't defeated her in a fair fight. He had destroyed the planet instead.
How could anyone kill my woman like that?
"Come on, Frieza! Use your full power! For everyone you've killed, I'll defeat you fair and square this time!"
"A mere Saiyan isn't worth my full power!"
An evil aura erupted in an instant. White energy flared around Frieza as he unleashed a frenzied barrage of punches at Lin Chen.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
There was no sound in space, but the shock waves from Frieza's punches continued to reverberate through the area.
"Go, King Frieza!"
"King Frieza is invincible!"
Aboard Frieza's ship, the aliens cheered excitedly as they watched Frieza attack without pause.
Of them all, only Ginyu looked terrified, backing away again and again.
As the strongest fighter aboard the ship, Ginyu could see that despite Frieza's relentless assault, the Saiyan hadn't been hurt at all!
The difference between them was utterly overwhelming!
So this was how terrifying a Super Saiyan could be!
"How is this possible? How?!"
After throwing a thousand punches, Frieza realized he hadn't hurt Lin Chen at all!
"I have three million in battle power! Why can't I break through your body?"
Hm?
Lin Chen frowned slightly at Frieza's words.
Just then, Frieza abruptly stopped attacking and pulled away from Lin Chen.
"Fine! You wretched monkey! If you want me to use my full power, then so be it! Prepare to experience true terror! My final form has a battle power of over one hundred million!"
"Ha!"
The evil aura erupted once more, and Frieza's body began to change again.
But to Lin Chen, the transformation looked disgusting.
He watched as Frieza's body twisted and warped, with flesh turning inside out.
Lin Chen didn't know that Frieza himself had been extremely reluctant to assume his final form.
But Frieza's reason for avoiding the transformation was different from the original Frieza's.
The original Frieza had disliked transforming because he found it difficult to control his power in his final form.
This Frieza, however, avoided it because transforming into his final form caused him immense pain.
When Lin Chen killed Frieza, he had been in his first form.
So when advanced technology was used to piece Frieza's body back together, his flesh was restored to match his first form.
The technicians who repaired Frieza had done their best to ensure that his mechanical body wouldn't interfere with his transformations. But it still wasn't his original flesh and blood. Every transformation caused the remnants of his body to inflict tremendous pain on him.
The pain was worst when he transformed into his final form.
That was why, even when facing Hanasia earlier, Frieza had only transformed into his third form. When he realized he still couldn't beat her, he chose to destroy the planet rather than transform into his final form to win.
But now, facing Lin Chen, who could survive in a vacuum, Frieza had no choice but to endure the pain and undergo his final transformation.
"Haaah~!"
Once the aura surrounding him burst apart completely, a diminutive Frieza finally appeared before Lin Chen.
Frieza panted heavily, cold sweat beading on his face as he said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Saiyan! This is the strongest form you wanted to see!"
Frieza raised one finger and sneered at Lin Chen. "I'll tell you in advance: my battle power is now over one hundred million!"
Hearing Frieza's words, Lin Chen's doubts finally cleared.
A smile appeared on his face. "One hundred million? Frieza, I never knew you were such a big liar!"
"Hm?" Frieza froze, his expression darkening. "What do you mean?"
"Heh. Frieza, can you tell me how you know your battle power is one hundred million? As far as I know, the most advanced battle-power scanner the Frieza Force ever had could only measure up to two million. So where did you get that figure of one hundred million?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"This..." Frieza's expression stiffened.
Lin Chen continued with a smile. "Frieza, unless I'm mistaken, that so-called one hundred million battle power you just mentioned was nothing but a boast, wasn't it? You don't actually know your own battle power. That figure of one hundred million was something you made up, wasn't it?"
"As for your true battle power, I'm afraid it's only eleven million—about one-tenth of what you guessed!"
