Fierce Battle, Planet Namek Explodes

Namek.

The intense battle had brought Namek to the brink of collapse; looking down from the cosmos, massive fissures were already visible. Scalding magma erupted everywhere, and the harsh climate had even caused the oxygen in the air to thin significantly.

If not for Vegeta's foresight in relocating all the Namekians to Earth, they would likely have been extinct by now.

Earth.

Bulma had brought all the Namekians to her private estate. As the richest person on Earth, housing a mere hundred or two people was effortless.

At this moment, in the backyard, Bulma gazed at the sky with worry.

"I wonder how Vegeta is doing..." she murmured.

"Bulma, are you worried about Vegeta and the others?" Second Elder Moori asked, holding a water glass.

"Yes, I don't know how they are faring or if they've defeated that evil emperor," Bulma replied.

Grand Elder spoke up, "Rest assured, I will ask King Kai for you... he can observe every planet in the North Galaxy."

Because Vegeta and his group had arrived early, Grand Elder had not suffered a reduction in his lifespan due to Frieza's evil aura.

Furthermore, Bulma had given him a full physical examination. Although their biological structures differed, with Bulma's intellect, she was able to perform these simple tests, and his lifespan had been extended as a result.

Grand Elder also wished to see Piccolo; he would be able to rest in peace once he had seen him one last time.

"Really? That would be a huge help, Grand Elder. Won't this affect your lifespan?" Bulma asked worriedly.

"It is fine, my friend. I am merely using telepathy; it is harmless to my body," Grand Elder explained.

He immediately activated his psychic powers to call upon King Kai.

"King Kai, are you there? Can you hear me?"

"Yo, Grand Elder, I hear you. What's the matter?" King Kai replied.

"Bulma is worried about Vegeta and the others. Please, tell me their situation," Grand Elder said.

"Oh, I see. I have been watching them the whole time. Goku and the others have already returned..." King Kai explained.

He recounted everything that had happened on Namek.

"So that is how it is... I never expected Vegeta to have become so powerful," Grand Elder sighed.

King Kai's voice was also transmitted to Bulma's ears.

She asked anxiously, "Then what about Vegeta? Why didn't he come back with them? After Namek explodes, what will happen to him..."

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Don't worry, Vegeta's strength is even greater than Frieza's. He will defeat Frieza ahead of time, and there is a spaceship nearby..." King Kai comforted her.

Moori, hearing King Kai say that Namek would vanish, felt terrible. They had just recovered from the brink of extinction, and now their new home was about to be destroyed. Was the Namekian race truly destined for such hardship?

Back on the battlefield.

The two were locked in a fierce struggle. The speed of their colliding fists created sonic booms in the surrounding air. Although their combat power was similar, Vegeta still held the upper hand.

After Frieza unleashed his full power, his strength had increased, but his speed was not as fast as before. His muscles were bulging with raw power.

For every punch Frieza landed on Vegeta, Vegeta returned three. Although Frieza's durability had also increased, Vegeta's heavy iron fists still left him aching all over.

As the fight dragged on, Frieza's condition worsened, while Vegeta grew more and more exhilarated.

The clash of titans set Vegeta's combative Saiyan blood boiling.

Suddenly, Vegeta seized a moment of distraction from Frieza. He grabbed Frieza's swinging arm, spun him around in place, and after reaching peak velocity, released his grip. Frieza was sent flying toward a distant volcano.

The volcano shattered instantly under the immense impact, and magma erupted everywhere, splashing onto Frieza. The searing heat made him scream in agony.

He managed to activate a protective barrier just in time to block the splashing magma, and despite his best efforts to stabilize himself, he was still sent flying over a kilometer away.

Vegeta did not idle. He unleashed his Prince Tactics, his hands becoming a blur as he fired yellow energy blasts at Frieza one after another.

Frieza had just stopped his backward flight when he was suddenly struck by the incoming energy blasts. The sheer power shattered his protective barrier.

With no time to dodge, he could only cross his arms in a defensive stance.

The powerful attacks forced him back repeatedly, leaving his entire body sore and weak.

The short, intense battle had already left him utterly exhausted.

His own attacks, however, had no effect on Vegeta whatsoever.

Vegeta continued his relentless barrage.

Frieza suddenly flared his aura, limbs splaying wide, and a powerful burst of energy deflected the incoming blasts. Seizing a window of opportunity, he used high-speed movement to escape Vegeta's attack range.

Vegeta sensed Frieza's escape and immediately gave chase, moving at high speed.

Frieza had barely caught his breath when Vegeta arrived in an instant and kicked him down. A storm of punches sent him soaring into the air.

Bang, thud, boom.

Frieza wailed.

Vegeta looked at the helpless Frieza and ceased his torrential assault.

"What's wrong, Frieza... out of steam?" Vegeta taunted.

Frieza gasped for air, his body trembling violently. His muscles, swollen to their limit from the exertion, were spasming uncontrollably.

After a long moment, he wheezed, "Damn it... damn those savage monkeys..."

He couldn't manage another word. Despite his stubborn mouth, he truly had no options left! Vegeta was simply too strong!

"What's the matter? Can't even speak anymore?" Vegeta continued his taunting.

As his breathing gradually steadied, Frieza snarled, "One last move. If you can withstand this..."

Before he could finish, he unleashed the last of his energy. His entire body was enveloped in a purple glow—it was the very same move that defeated Jiren in the original timeline: Savage Impact.

Watching the familiar stance, Vegeta brought his hands together in front of his chest, palms cupped, and condensed his final energy blast: Galick Cannon!

As the two charged their attacks, the terrifying pressure was already more than Namek could endure. It was on the verge of destruction!

Frieza finished charging, his body encased in a sphere of purple light as he hurtled toward Vegeta.

Vegeta unleashed his Galick Cannon, a bolt of yellow energy crackling with lightning, and fired it at Frieza's rapidly approaching figure.

The two forces collided, locked in a fierce struggle, neither willing to yield.

Frieza had exhausted every ounce of his strength, yet his aura-shrouded body was being pushed back step by step.

Seizing the opportunity, Vegeta erupted with his full power, his terrifying presence flooding the entire planet!

Unable to compete, Frieza was gradually forced off the planet by the overwhelming Galick Cannon!

Finally, with a desperate cry, he could hold on no longer.

BOOM!

Frieza was obliterated instantly.

Vegeta carefully sensed the area and confirmed Frieza was not yet dead, finally letting out a sigh of relief. The mission was complete!

He immediately took flight, heading toward the landing site of the Ginyu Force.

He searched for a long time but could not find the Ginyu Force's spaceship.

While he was still searching, Namek finally reached its limit. A rumbling sound echoed across the entire globe.

It could hold on no longer. A brilliant display of fireworks filled the surrounding cosmos.

It exploded!
