Rebirth Technique Appears! The Duo Returns

With a single Kamehameha from Luya, everything in the path of the blast was reduced to nothingness! Even the seawater was cleaved clean in two by his energy, with countless tons of it vaporizing instantly! Looking out, the horizon seemed to have vanished entirely.

This was a Kamehameha gathered with all of Luya's ki, a combat power exceeding 110 trillion. Who could have imagined the sheer, terrifying extent of such power?

It is no exaggeration to say that if Luya had fired this blast from mid-air, he might have destroyed the entire Earth!

"Ha... ha... ha... ha..." Luya remained in his firing stance, gasping for air. After unleashing such a massive technique, he felt a searing ache throughout his entire body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The once-violent ki gradually began to subside. The crimson aura vanished, leaving only the golden glow behind.

Luya's stamina could no longer sustain the seven-fold Kaioken, so he hurriedly deactivated it. Furthermore, he was unable to maintain his Super Saiyan 2 form, reverting to a standard Super Saiyan.

Having spent his reserves on the Kamehameha, the pressure he had been holding back dissipated, leaving him temporarily unable to transform into Super Saiyan 2.

"That guy... he's gone, right?"

The Z Fighters watched the scene with lingering trepidation. They had seen Sun Wukong use this technique against Cell years ago; even Cell hadn't been able to react in time and had been left crippled. Surely, Luya's attack, which was far more powerful, would be enough to finish off Frieza?

At this thought, everyone felt a surge of excitement. It seemed they wouldn't need to wait for Sun Wukong and the others to return to deal with this formidable enemy.

"Something's not right!!" Gohan and Piccolo did not share the relief of the others; instead, their expressions were grave. Luya, too, remained on high alert.

"Could it be... that guy, he can do it too, just like Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan thought of something and gritted his teeth.

Cold sweat trickled down Piccolo's face.

On the other side, Luya felt a sense of foreboding. He knew that despite the power of his attack, he hadn't killed Frieza. The opponent was still alive!

<strong>[Ding! Frieza's ki detected. Host has not completed the mission. Please keep trying...]</strong>

Luya: "..."

He really wasn't dead!

Suddenly, everyone sensed something and turned their gazes toward the same spot.

Luya looked at the surface of the water, cold sweat breaking out on his brow.

At that moment, a figure slowly emerged from the sea. First the head, then the torso, and finally, as the entire body stood upon the water, the air suddenly went silent.

Frieza!

It was none other than Frieza!!

He was still alive!

Luya looked at Frieza and offered a faint smile. "You really do have a cat's nine lives, don't you?"

Frieza's face was twisted in a grimace. He looked truly wretched; he had dropped out of his Golden Frieza form, one arm was missing, half his waist was gone, and seventy percent of his tail had been severed!

Pathetic!

Although Golden Frieza had sensed Luya's arrival, he had been a step too slow.

Luya's Instant Transmission made his ki incredibly difficult to track, so even in his Golden Frieza form, Frieza had struggled to defend himself.

"D-damn it!! Damn you, Saiyan!!!" Frieza growled, his face contorted in rage. Suddenly, a terrifying burst of ki erupted from him!

Then, the mangled parts of his body began to writhe as if something were trying to burst out from within!

Piccolo's eyes widened, and he shouted a warning: "Attack him now! He's regenerating his body!!"

Luya was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered. The hell? Frieza can use Piccolo's technique? Is this a joke? How have I never seen this before?

Coming to his senses, Luya hurriedly fired several energy blasts. They struck Frieza instantly, detonating on impact!

But the next moment, a wave of purple energy swept out, instantly dispersing the smoke.

Frieza's form was revealed once more!

"How..." Luya's expression changed drastically, for Frieza had already fully regenerated his flesh.

Frieza stretched his limbs, his face expressionless as he looked at Luya. "You are the first to force me to use Regeneration."

"Regeneration?" Luya asked in a low voice.

Frieza let out a cackle. "Indeed! Regeneration! This is my secret technique. I never use it unless absolutely necessary. I am a creature of the cosmos, and having undergone molecular restructuring with cosmic matter, as long as there is matter present and I am not killed in a single blow, I can be reborn!"

Luya frowned. "Then why didn't you use it when you were defeated by Sun Wukong and Trunks back then?"

At the mention of this, Frieza seemed to have been poked in a sore spot. He replied coldly, "In my battle with Sun Wukong, I had no opportunity, nor could I. If I had used regeneration, I still wouldn't have been a match for a Super Saiyan Sun Wukong! I likely would have been finished off completely!"

He paused, then added, "As for that Super Saiyan boy later, I had no chance at all. He didn't give me a moment to breathe before I was killed!!"

With that, Frieza flared his ki: "It's all because of you Saiyans!! A bunch of filthy monkeys! You were supposed to be nothing more than my servants, yet you've made me look this pathetic time and time again!!"

Frieza looked at Luya and curled his lips into a smirk. "Well, the complaining is over. You should have recovered a bit of strength by now, so let's begin!"

Luya's expression was grim. He had indeed been stalling for time to recover, but he was nowhere near his peak—at the very least, he couldn't transform into Super Saiyan 2 again!

And even though the opponent's combat power had dropped significantly after regenerating, he was still more than capable of crushing everyone here!

A brutal battle was about to begin.

Frieza chuckled. "What's the matter? Want to surrender? If you do, I might consider it!"

Luya grinned. "Surrender? Surrender is impossible. I, Luya, would rather die! Even if you beat me to death, I will never compromise with you!"

Frieza's expression darkened. "Since that's the case, then die!"

As he spoke, he suddenly rose into the air. He held up a finger, and a sphere of red energy began to gather, rapidly swelling into a massive, glowing orb.

"Ho ho ho! Saiyan, I've had enough fun. Now, I'll let you and this planet vanish together!" Frieza sneered hideously.

The next moment, he hurled the orb, which had expanded to twenty meters in diameter, straight down!

Luya narrowed his eyes. If he couldn't catch it, this planet was finished!

What to do?

Just as Luya prepared to use his Oozaru transformation, two figures suddenly flashed in front of him!

Seeing them, Luya was stunned, then felt a wave of relief wash over him!

Good grief, they were finally back!

"Goku!!"

"Vegeta!!"

Seeing the two who had suddenly arrived, all their companions cried out in surprise and joy!
