With one Kamehameha from Luya, everything in its path was wiped out! Even the seawater was cleaved apart by the force of his blast! Countless tons of water evaporated! Looking out, the destruction seemed to stretch beyond the horizon!
This Kamehameha had gathered all of Luya's ki. With a battle power of over 11 trillion, who could have imagined just how powerful his ki would be?
It was safe to say that if Luya had fired that attack from the sky, he might have destroyed the entire Earth!
"Ha... ha... ha... ha..." Luya was still holding his pose, gasping for breath. After unleashing such a powerful attack, every inch of his body ached!
Whoosh, whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
The once-raging ki gradually weakened. The red aura had disappeared, leaving only a golden one!
Luya no longer had enough stamina to maintain the power of a sevenfold Kaioken, so he hurriedly dropped it. He also couldn't maintain his Super Saiyan 2 form any longer and reverted to an ordinary Super Saiyan!
After firing the Kamehameha, he had used up the breath he'd been holding, so he couldn't transform into Super Saiyan 2 again for the time being!
"That guy... he should be gone, right?"
The Z Fighters watched the scene with some unease. They had seen Goku use this move against Cell back then, and even Cell hadn't been able to react in time. He'd been left gravely injured. Luya's attack just now had been far more powerful, so surely Frieza couldn't have withstood it, right?
At the thought, everyone grew excited. It looked like they could defeat the formidable Frieza without waiting for Goku and the others to return!
"Something's not right!!" Gohan and Piccolo didn't look as relieved as the others. Instead, their expressions turned grave, because Luya himself hadn't let down his guard!
"Could it be... that guy can do the same thing as Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, as if he'd thought of something.
Cold sweat trickled down Piccolo's face.
Meanwhile, Luya looked troubled. He knew that although his attack had been powerful, it hadn't killed Frieza! His opponent was still alive!
[Beep! Frieza's ki is still present, so the host has not completed the mission. Please keep trying...]
Luya: "..."
Just as he'd thought. Frieza wasn't dead!
At that moment, everyone suddenly sensed something and turned to look in the same direction!
Luya stared at the surface of the sea, where cold sweat began to bead on his skin.
At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the water. First came the head, then the body. When the whole person finally appeared above the surface, the air fell silent!
Frieza!
It was Frieza!!
He was still alive!
Luya looked at Frieza, then smiled slightly. "You really are hard to kill!"
Frieza's face twisted in a grimace. He looked truly wretched now. He had reverted from Golden Frieza, one arm was missing, half his waist was gone, and even seven-tenths of his tail had been severed!
What a gruesome sight!
Golden Frieza had sensed Luya's arrival just now, but he'd still been too slow!
Luya's ki was difficult to detect when he used Instant Transmission, so even after evolving into Golden Frieza, Frieza had struggled to defend himself!
"Y-you... damn you, Saiyan!!!" Frieza growled, his expression ugly. Then, suddenly, a terrifying ki erupted from him!
The severed parts of his body began to writhe, as if something were about to burst out through his flesh!
Piccolo's eyes flew wide open. He shouted a warning: "Attack now! He's about to regrow his body!!"
Luya paused, then stared in disbelief. What the hell? Frieza could use Piccolo's trick too? Was this some kind of joke? How had he never seen him do it before?
Coming back to his senses, Luya hurriedly fired several Ki Blasts. They struck Frieza, exploding around him in an instant!
But in the next moment, a wave of purple ki swept out, instantly scattering the smoke!
Frieza's figure emerged from within!
"How..." Luya's expression changed dramatically. Frieza had already restored his body!
Frieza rolled his shoulders and flexed his muscles, his face expressionless. Looking at Luya, he said, "You're the first person who's forced me to use Regeneration!"
"Regeneration?" Luya said in a low voice.
Frieza let out a chuckle. "That's right! Regeneration! It's one of my secret techniques, and I only use it when there's no other choice. I'm a being from the cosmos, and I've been reconstituted with cosmic matter. So as long as matter remains, and I'm not killed in a single blow, I can come back to life!"
Luya frowned, then asked, "Then why didn't you use it when Sun Wukong and Trunks defeated you back then?"
Frieza looked as if Luya had struck a nerve. His voice turned cold. "During my battle with Sun Wukong, I never had the chance. And even if I had, there was no point. If I'd used Regeneration, I still wouldn't have been a match for Sun Wukong after he transformed into a Super Saiyan. He might have killed me for good!"
After a pause, Frieza added, "As for that Super Saiyan boy afterward, I never had the chance either. He didn't give me a moment to catch my breath before killing me!!"
As he spoke, Frieza's ki suddenly flared. "It's all because of you Saiyans!! You bunch of stinking monkeys! You're supposed to be nothing more than my slaves, yet you've humiliated me time and time again!!"
Frieza looked at Luya, a faint smile appearing on his face. "All right, I've had my say. You should have recovered a little strength by now, so let's get started!"
Luya's expression was grave. He really had been stalling to give himself time to recover, but he still wasn't back to his best. At the very least, he couldn't transform into Super Saiyan 2 again!
And though his opponent's battle power had dropped considerably after regenerating, he could still beat everyone here with ease!
This was going to be a hard fight!
Frieza chuckled. "Well? Thinking of surrendering? If you are, I might consider it!"
Luya grinned. "Surrender? I'd never surrender! Even if I, Luya, die—even if you kill me—I'll never submit to you!"
Frieza's expression darkened. "In that case, die!"
As he spoke, he rose into the air. Then he raised one finger, and a red ball of ki began to gather above it. The energy grew larger and larger, forming a red sphere!
"Ho ho ho! Saiyan, I've had my fun. Now I'll make you and this planet disappear together!" Frieza said with a sinister grin.
In the next moment, he hurled the sphere—which had swelled to twenty meters in diameter—straight down!
Luya narrowed his eyes slightly. If he couldn't stop it, the Earth would be finished!
What should he do?
Just as Luya was about to use Great Ape Transformation, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him!
Luya froze when he saw them, then felt a wave of relief wash over him!
About time they got back!
"Goku!!"
"Vegeta!!"
Everyone was thrilled to see the two of them suddenly arrive, and they cried out in excitement!
