Frieza

As the ship departed, Kast closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Meanwhile, on Planet Vegeta.

"King Vegeta, the messages have all been sent. I expect that, aside from those currently on missions, all other Saiyans will have returned within these two days."

Below the throne, an alien with purple skin gestured with the monitor in his hand, speaking respectfully to the middle-aged man seated above.

The man was middle-aged, sporting a beard, a fierce expression, and hair that stood on end. He wore battle armor adorned with a badge of rank, and a red cape draped over his shoulders.

Though he remained silent, his facial expression alone radiated authority.

This man was none other than King Vegeta.

"Very well!"

After hearing the report, King Vegeta stood up and turned his back.

"Notify all available Saiyans: the Prince's banquet will be held in two days. Attendance is mandatory."

Suddenly struck by a thought, King Vegeta turned his head and asked, "Does Lord Frieza know of the Prince's birth?"

Hearing the inquiry, the purple-skinned alien straightened his posture and replied.

"My King, since the Prince's birth was not a secret, Lord Frieza is aware."

"Is that so..."

King Vegeta sat back down on his throne, closed his eyes, and stroked his beard.

"Send an invitation to Lord Frieza's side. Tell him it is to celebrate the birth of my son."

With a wave of his hand, he signaled for the alien to leave.

As the sound of the man walking out and closing the door faded, King Vegeta opened his eyes and coldly spat out three words: "Frieza..."

"...That is the situation, Lord Frieza. King Vegeta's son has been born, and he now wishes to invite you to attend the birth banquet."

In the black expanse of space, a green planet floated. Not far above it hovered a massive, disc-shaped starship. Its hangar doors were open, and a group of aliens in battle armor were surging out of the ship toward the planet.

In the ship's cockpit, a handsome man with deep green hair and cyan skin knelt on one knee, reporting to someone seated in a small hovering pod.

"Oh? Hehehe..."

With a laugh that carried a unique melody, the person in the pod revealed his face. He was an alien with skin marked by red textures, a purple forehead, a thick tail, and sharp, curved horns. He held one hand to his mouth, chuckling softly.

He was the man known as the 'Emperor of Evil': Frieza!

"Mr. Zarbon."

Frieza focused intently on the monitor in front of him, a chilling smile playing on his scarlet lips.

The monitor displayed the green planet below the ship, and at that moment, flashes of dazzling red light were erupting across its surface—the marks of battle!

"No matter the time, this brilliant firework never grows old!"

On the screen, the battle was drawing to a close, and Frieza's army was already returning to the ship.

The planet was now covered in red fissures that grew deeper and more rapid, until finally, it reached the limit of what the planet could withstand and exploded in an instant!

"Haha, look, Mr. Zarbon, Mr. Dodoria. Look at this firework; how beautiful it is!"

Watching the moment of the planet's destruction, Frieza spread his arms, wearing a look of wanton delight.

Dodoria, a man with pink skin and spikes on his head, stood alongside Zarbon as one of Frieza's direct attendants.

The two exchanged a glance, then silently stood on either side of Frieza, keeping their thoughts to themselves.

"Right, Prince Vegeta has been born, hasn't he? That is indeed good news."

Some time after the explosion, as the ship moved away from the area, Frieza had returned to his usual calm and elegant posture. He lightly covered his lower lip with one hand, his eyes gleaming with a smile. "Since it is an invitation from King Vegeta, we shall pay a visit. We might as well bring a grand gift, right? Hahaha..."

Two days later

"Warning, warning. Ten minutes until arrival at Planet Vegeta..."

Inside his pod, Kast opened his eyes. Before him lay a giant red star, and around the planet, other pods could be seen flying toward it from time to time.

Like Kast, these were Saiyans returning to congratulate Prince Vegeta.

"..."

Kast stared at the planet ahead without a word, a faint smile touching the corners of his mouth.

"My King, everything is prepared."

In the great hall, a middle-aged Saiyan with a scar on his chin reported respectfully.

"Very well!"

King Vegeta waved his hand, just about to say something, when he suddenly remembered to ask, "Right, Frieza—has King Frieza not arrived yet?"

"No, King Frieza has not arrived yet."

Hurriedly responding to King Vegeta's question, the middle-aged Saiyan wiped away a cold sweat.

"Still not here?" King Vegeta frowned upon hearing his subordinate's reply.

The message received earlier stated that Frieza had accepted the invitation and was planning to come today. If he hadn't arrived by now, it would be difficult to prepare the banquet immediately.

"Go and contact—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of spaceships piercing the air suddenly erupted outside. Through the glass, one could see that these were ships belonging to Frieza's army.

"Your Majesty, King Frieza has arrived."

A man walked in from outside the door and spoke respectfully.

"I have already seen..."

"So Frieza has come as well."

In the crowd, five-year-old Kast appeared quite inconspicuous, currently looking up at the spaceships in the sky.

"Those must be Zarbon and Dodoria, right? The scouter shows Zarbon's battle power is 23,000 and Dodoria's is 22,000. They are indeed very strong, not something the current me can compare to."

Watching the two people fly out from the lead ship and observing their features, Kast immediately knew they were Frieza's attendants, Zarbon and Dodoria.

"That means the one inside is Frieza."

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!!"

Just as Kast was deep in thought, a series of explosions suddenly rang out from the surroundings; it was the sound of the scouters worn by the nearby Saiyans burning out and breaking down.

"220,000, 230,000... it hasn't even hit the limit yet!! Mon! Monster!!"

A Saiyan was seen trembling, pointing in terror at the alien who had just flown out of the ship in a hover pod.

And that person was none other than the Emperor of Evil, Frieza!

"How is this possible? How could he be this strong!!"

"Damn it..."
