"Splash..."
In a single instant, the small island was blown to pieces by Frieza's immense energy, sinking beneath the waves.
The island transformed into an endless expanse of lake.
The water surged, sending sprays flying in every direction.
Frieza's pupils constricted slightly, his brow furrowing deep.
He had seen clearly that before his energy attack could strike Sun Wukong, the man had already vanished along with the others.
However, immediately afterward, Frieza turned his gaze with keen interest toward Piccolo, who remained suspended in the air.
This fellow hadn't left!
"Namekian, you're quite brave, aren't you? To actually choose to stay behind." Frieza looked at Piccolo with a beaming smile.
Piccolo's expression grew increasingly grave.
A miscalculation!
He should have left with them just now.
This guy called Frieza was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Whoosh!"
In a flash, Sun Wukong had arrived at the Sacred World of the Kai with Gohan and the others.
"Kibito!" As soon as he returned, Sun Wukong immediately shouted at Kibito.
Kibito: "..."
Kibito was slightly taken aback, but he flew forward quickly and discovered Yamcha, who was lying on the ground and twitching uncontrollably.
"Quick, Kibito, help heal him!" Sun Wukong urged hurriedly.
Kibito's face darkened.
You really don't stand on ceremony at all!
Kibito didn't object, however, and was about to step forward to treat Yamcha.
"Let Dende do it instead," the Grand Elder spoke up suddenly. "Although Dende is very young, he is a Namekian with excellent talent!"
Dende: "????"
Dende looked bewildered.
"Dende?" Sun Wukong was stunned, a look of pleasant surprise appearing on his face.
Of course, Sun Wukong knew Dende; after all, in his previous life, he and Dende had shared a very good relationship.
Yamcha: "..."
No, could you please heal me first before switching people?
I'm in a lot of pain right now, okay?
I feel like I'm about to kick the bucket.
"Dende, come here to me." The Grand Elder looked at Yamcha and realized that although his injuries were severe, he wouldn't die for a while yet.
"Yes... Grand Elder!" Dende hurried forward and arrived at the Grand Elder's side.
The Grand Elder placed his hand gently on Dende's head, and an invisible, mysterious power rapidly enveloped his entire body.
In an instant, all of Dende's latent energy was completely unleashed by the Grand Elder.
Dende clenched his fists, his expression solemn, and appeared beside Yamcha. A healing light bloomed from his hands, covering the man's body.
Soon, the wounds on Yamcha's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gohan, Krillin, and the others present stared blankly at Yamcha being treated by Dende, each of them clicking their tongues in wonder, offering commentary and endless praise.
Yamcha's mouth twitched, and cold sweat broke out on his face.
Could you guys stop talking at a time like this?
I feel like I've become the star patient in a major surgery theater.
"Gohan, Krillin, you stay here for now!" Seeing that Yamcha was fine, Sun Wukong immediately spoke to Gohan and the others.
"But Dad, Uncle Piccolo is still on Namek." Gohan looked anxious.
"I'm heading back!" After saying this, Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission once more and vanished.
After Sun Wukong left, the Old Supreme Kai, the Supreme Kai, Kibito, and the many Namekians gathered around to ask what exactly had happened.
Wasn't Sun Wukong confident that he could defeat the guy called Frieza?
How could someone have ended up injured?
"Wukong said that for some reason, that guy Frieza seemed to have suddenly become stronger." Krillin rubbed his bald head, relaying everything Sun Wukong had just told them.
"Perhaps even Wukong didn't know Frieza's true strength..." Tien Shinhan sighed.
"It was terrifying, simply too terrifying!" Yamcha still felt lingering fear. "That Universe Emperor called Frieza has reached an absurd level of power. In front of him, I felt like nothing more than a tiny ant, completely unable to resist."
Upon hearing the account from Krillin and the others, the Supreme Kai also felt it was a bit inconceivable.
However, the Supreme Kai soon smiled confidently, looking entirely unconcerned.
After all, in the Supreme Kai's view, Sun Wukong's Super Saiyan transformation was surely more than enough to defeat Frieza.
"Is that so? Even Wukong said that? Then that is a bit strange." The Old Supreme Kai paced back and forth on the ground, lost in deep thought, before pulling a crystal ball out of his crotch and casually placing it onto a rock.
Seeing the Old Supreme Kai perform such an action, Krillin and the others all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
How did you pull such a large crystal ball out of your crotch?
The Old Supreme Kai placed his hands over the crystal ball, chanting something under his breath.
"Snap!"
An image appeared within the crystal ball.
The scene displayed was none other than Frieza and his cohorts on Namek.
Krillin and the others immediately craned their necks to watch.
I never expected this rather unserious old man to have such powerful abilities.
"That said, what place is this?" Krillin asked, looking around curiously.
"It doesn't feel like Earth," Yamcha muttered, shaking his head.
"Indeed," Tien Shinhan nodded.
"Everyone, this is the Sacred World of the Kai," the Grand Elder spoke up.
"The Sacred World of the Kai?"
Krillin and the others were all slightly stunned.
"This is Lord Old Supreme Kai and Lord Supreme Kai, and this is Lord Kibito," the Grand Elder introduced them one by one.
"Supreme Kai?"
Krillin and the others were shocked once again.
We just left King Kai's place.
And now we've actually ended up here with the Supreme Kai?
Isn't this jump in status a bit too fast?
"I heard from King Kai that there is a Grand King Kai above him..." Krillin rubbed his head in thought.
"Lord Supreme Kai is the god in charge of all the King Kais, and he is the greatest god in this universe," Kibito said with a proud smile.
Krillin and the others all wore expressions of astonishment, completely shocked.
I never imagined this old man was such a great god.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was just an unserious old geezer.
"He is truly not simple," the Old Supreme Kai said, peering closely at Frieza through the crystal ball, unable to help but click his tongue in wonder.
"Is there a problem, Ancestor?" The Supreme Kai asked, startled, looking at the Old Supreme Kai with curiosity.
"Idiot, can't you see that Frieza has become stronger?" The Old Supreme Kai huffed, his beard bristling as he scolded him irritably.
"Is that so? I didn't notice," the Supreme Kai smiled sheepishly, feeling speechless.
Ancestor, could you please not scold me in front of so many people?
It makes me, the Supreme Kai, lose so much face!
"Fool! I told you to study hard, but you never listen!" The Old Supreme Kai shouted angrily.
The Supreme Kai felt even more embarrassed; he lowered his head, blushing, and couldn't say a word.
A brief silence followed.
"Wukong should be fine, right?" The Supreme Kai asked with a forced smile. "After all, Wukong's current strength shouldn't be much different from mine... Even if Frieza's strength has increased, how strong could he possibly have gotten?"
The Old Supreme Kai didn't want to speak anymore.
How did this kid even become the Supreme Kai?
How is he so ignorant about everything?
