Vegeta walked up to Frieza and stopped.
Frieza looked at him with a smile, appearing rather pleased with himself.
Boom!
In the next instant, Frieza was struck as if by a tremendous blow, his entire body doubling over like a shrimp!
"Ugh!" Frieza's eyes bulged, his face twisting in unbearable pain!
Vegeta had appeared right in front of him, his fist buried in Frieza's stomach!
Vegeta leaned close to Frieza's ear and taunted, "Sorry, but I'm not the least bit interested in your offer!"
Frieza's eyes were bloodshot, his expression one of disbelief.
Vegeta's expression turned cold. With a thunderous shout, he sent Frieza flying! Frieza smashed through several small mountains before crashing into a cliff!
Vegeta snorted. "Is that all?"
Frieza was embedded in the cliff, glaring at Vegeta through gritted teeth. He truly hadn't expected that. Vegeta, that brat, had actually dared to attack him!
Crack, crack, crack!
Frieza floated free of the cliff, his face dark as he looked at Vegeta. Then he snorted. "I never imagined my former subordinate would become so powerful!"
Vegeta stared at him coldly. "There are plenty of things you've never seen or imagined! For example... Hah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta gave a mighty shout. In the next instant, he transformed into a Super Saiyan!
"This..." Frieza's pupils contracted, his expression disbelieving.
Vegeta sneered. "I'm not done yet!"
Boom!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Vegeta powered up again, transforming directly into a Super Saiyan 2!
"Didn't see that coming, did you, Frieza? I, Vegeta, can transform into a Super Saiyan too!" Vegeta pointed his thumb at himself and sneered.
Frieza gritted his teeth. Then he closed his eyes, calmed himself, and opened them again to look at Vegeta with a smile. "I admit, I'm a little surprised. But so what? I, Frieza, am the greatest genius in the universe. Even as a Super Saiyan, you won't be able to defeat me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza clenched both fists. Veins bulged on his forehead as he began to power up!
Rumble!
With a mighty shout, the purple aura around Frieza transformed into golden radiance! His body changed little by little, until he became Golden Frieza!
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from him, shaking the skies!
Vegeta's expression stiffened, and cold sweat ran down his face. "Y-you... damn it! This guy!"
Nearby, Goku, seeing this form for the first time, looked utterly disbelieving. "How did he train? How could he reach this level?"
"That's Golden Frieza. His power is terrifying! Even Luya couldn't beat him! If Luya hadn't used Instant Transmission and his strongest Kamehameha, he would've been done for!" Krillin said gravely.
Goku wore a complicated expression. "Instant Transmission, Kamehameha... Luya, you're really strong!"
Luya replied modestly, "I'm just okay."
"Uncle Vegeta will be all right, won't he?" Gohan asked worriedly.
Goku smiled and said, "Don't worry. Frieza has definitely become stronger, but we haven't fallen behind in our training! Vegeta won't lose!"
The others were a little puzzled. No matter how much those two had trained, had they somehow had some kind of incredible encounter?
Luya smiled knowingly. He knew why Goku was so confident: both Goku and Vegeta could power up even further, reaching the divine realm as Super Saiyan Blues!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Golden ki enveloped Frieza. Having transformed into Golden Frieza once more, he had now reached the peak of his power!
His strength surpassed Luya's, but Luya's Instant Transmission combined with his strongest Kamehameha had been incredibly difficult to defend against. That was why Frieza had been injured!
"I never imagined your power would reach this level. It's truly frightening!" Even the proud Vegeta was shaken. After all, so many years had passed since Frieza was killed, and now the rate at which he had grown stronger in Hell was even more terrifying than their own!
They had been personally trained by Whis, after all!
Vegeta had thought that someone at Frieza's level could no longer keep up with them. But the power Frieza had just displayed posed a serious threat!
"Heh heh heh! You think you're the only ones who can improve? This is the new form I trained in Hell all these years. I call it Golden Frieza!" Frieza laughed, clearly pleased with himself.
Vegeta's expression darkened. He snorted. "Hmph! So what? I've been holding something back too!"
Frieza paused, looking surprised. "Oh? Is that so? Then stop holding back and show me your power!"
Vegeta snorted. His ki began to churn wildly, and then he threw his head back and roared. In an instant, a terrifying golden aura burst from within him. The yellow aura began to transform!
"Vegeta's ki is rising! So fast!" Piccolo's eyes were wide, cold sweat running down his face!
"Incredible!" Krillin and the others were all dumbfounded. They were stunned. What had Vegeta been through?
Goku smiled mysteriously but said nothing.
Luya narrowed his eyes slightly. He was using the system to estimate Vegeta's power. Vegeta's ki kept rising, and his battle power had already surpassed ten trillion—and it was still climbing!
"Ahhh!!!"
Vegeta continued to roar, as though only then could he unleash his full power!
Frieza could barely keep his composure. He stared at Vegeta through gritted teeth, his expression disbelieving. "H-how is this possible? I don't believe it!"
"Ha!!!" With a resounding roar, the ki around Vegeta turned blue. It could no longer be called ki; it writhed like a liquid...
The aura of the gods!
With blue, spiky hair, Vegeta's aura had undergone a complete transformation. He sneered at Frieza and said, "Well? This is my power!"
Frieza's expression darkened. Vegeta's power had surpassed his own, especially with his stamina already depleted!
If only he'd trained for another six months and gotten stronger before coming to bother these Saiyans. And his battle with Luya had already cost him a great deal of energy!
Vegeta had no intention of wasting words. His Battle Cells surged to life, and in an instant, he charged straight at Frieza!
"Damn you!" Frieza roared and charged forward to meet him!
Clash!
Their fists collided, and a sonic boom swept outward in an instant!
