Zarbon, Dodoria, and over a dozen of Frieza's underlings stood obediently behind Frieza, awaiting his instructions.
"Follow the original plan and search for the Dragon Balls!" Frieza issued the command.
"Yes, Lord Frieza."
Zarbon, Dodoria, and the numerous underlings bowed in unison.
Immediately after, Zarbon and Dodoria pressed the buttons on their Scouters to scan the planet for energy signatures.
However, upon doing so, the expressions of both Zarbon and Dodoria shifted slightly, and they looked somewhat bewildered.
"What is it?" Frieza asked with a smile.
"Lord Frieza, it is truly strange," Zarbon mused. "This planet..."
"Is there a problem?" Frieza looked at Zarbon.
"Aside from seven power level signatures located about 500 kilometers from our position, there are no other energy readings anywhere else," Zarbon replied immediately.
"Perhaps these Namekians were prepared for us long ago!" Frieza speculated, stroking his chin with an indifferent expression. "Why not go and see for ourselves?"
Frieza thought seriously; it was possible that because of his rebirth, the plot had changed slightly.
It was not an impossibility.
The Namekians possessed unique abilities, and because his own power level had increased, they might have learned of his arrival on Namek in advance.
It was highly likely they had found a place to hide.
However, Namekians, you didn't expect this, did you?
I, Frieza, am not here to search for the Dragon Balls this time!
I am here to take revenge on Sun Wukong!
"Yes! Lord Frieza."
Zarbon and Dodoria bowed once more.
"Whoosh!"
Frieza boarded his hoverchair, rose into the air, and flew toward the direction of the energy signatures.
Zarbon, Dodoria, and the dozen underlings followed closely behind.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Frieza and his men left trails of bright light across the green sky.
In the distance.
Sun Wukong, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu had already gathered together.
"They are coming!" Piccolo said in a low voice.
"Such a powerful aura!" Krillin was stunned, cold sweat sliding down his face. "Is that Frieza's aura? It's simply terrifying!"
"Wukong... is Frieza's aura really this strong?" Yamcha's mouth twitched, clearly shaken.
"This is trouble. We thought we could help out!" Tien Shinhan wiped his sweat. "It looks like we'll have to let Wukong handle it again."
"But... we've trained for so long. Even if we can't beat Frieza, we should be able to take care of his underlings, right?" Krillin rubbed his hands together, forcing a strained smile.
Gohan did not speak, but his expression had become exceptionally grave.
Gohan could keenly sense that this opponent was far more terrifying than the guy named Vegeta.
"Something is wrong!" Sun Wukong frowned slightly, feeling that things were increasingly off.
"What is it, Wukong?" Krillin asked.
"Frieza's aura is even stronger than it was before..." Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, looking at his companions with a solemn expression. "Krillin, I need to get you all out of here immediately!"
"Eh? Why?" Krillin was slightly taken aback.
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this," Sun Wukong's voice grew increasingly heavy.
"Haha, we should probably get going then..." Yamcha laughed.
"Since we've already come to Namek, we might as well see what this Universe Emperor looks like," Tien Shinhan chuckled. "Even if we die, it'll be worth it!"
"Yeah, I want to see what Frieza looks like too," Chiaotzu nodded.
"Then we'll take one look and leave immediately," Yamcha said with a smile.
Sun Wukong: "..."
Why are you all acting like Bulma?
What is there to see with Frieza?
I remember back then, Bulma insisted on seeing what the Androids looked like.
"Fine then. If things start looking bad, you must find a place to hide immediately, and I will send you to the Grand Elder," Sun Wukong said in a heavy tone, his fists clenched tightly.
What on earth is going on?
Frieza's energy was far too abnormal!
"They're here!" Piccolo let out a low growl, immediately looking up at the sky.
The very moment Piccolo's voice faded, Frieza came whistling in from the distance, bringing his underlings along.
Frieza spotted Sun Wukong standing on the ground below from far away, and his triangular eyes lit up instantly.
However, immediately afterward, Frieza felt a bit confused.
How was he seeing Sun Wukong at this point in time?
Now that he thought about it, when exactly did the Sun Wukong of his past life arrive on Namek?
Perhaps he had arrived long ago and simply hadn't crossed paths with him?
That was very possible.
But none of that mattered anymore.
This was great!
He had been thinking he would have to wait several days to see him.
Since he had appeared at this moment, he, Frieza, wouldn't have to keep waiting.
Frieza was incredibly excited; his heart surged with emotion, and his hands even trembled slightly.
Furthermore, Frieza recognized Krillin and Sun Wukong's son, Gohan, at a single glance.
This time, he, Frieza, would make sure to eliminate that little bald guy right in front of him, and then finish off his son.
Then, once he transformed into a Super Saiyan, he would give him a brutal beating.
However... he didn't think he should kill him!
He would humiliate him to the fullest!
Every bit of humiliation he had once suffered at his hands, he would pay back twofold.
Seeing Sun Wukong appear on the ground below, Zarbon and Dodoria's bodies shuddered violently, so terrified they nearly hugged each other.
Why was that Super Saiyan here?
This was terrible!
What should they do? What should they do?
Lord Frieza was going to be beaten to death by him!
Zarbon and Dodoria exchanged glances, communicating immediately through their eyes.
Then, both of them nodded with deep significance.
They wouldn't make a move later; they would just honestly follow behind Lord Frieza and act as qualified background scenery.
Once that Super Saiyan defeated Lord Frieza, they would just say they had been coerced and lured by Lord Frieza into coming.
Right, they had already tried to advise Lord Frieza.
Lord Frieza wouldn't listen and insisted on coming to Namek; what else could they have done?
That was the story!
At least that Super Saiyan looked relatively kind; he shouldn't kill them.
After all, he hadn't even killed Lord Frieza!
The two exchanged looks rapidly, quickly coming up with a strategy to survive.
As for the other Frieza underlings, they had been temporarily conscripted from other planets, so naturally, they couldn't possibly know Sun Wukong.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Frieza led his numerous underlings down from the sky, landing right in front of Sun Wukong and the others.
Piccolo and the others immediately braced themselves as if facing a great enemy, sweat breaking out on their faces.
At this moment, Piccolo and the others felt as if Frieza's arrival was like a planet crashing down upon them, pressing them so hard they couldn't even catch their breath.
Was this the Universe Emperor Frieza?
Could he not be so terrifying?
