"You'd better take a good look... Frieza's strength has increased by more than just a little." Old Supreme Kai said gravely.
Supreme Kai leaned over for a closer look, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. He kept scratching his head, looking thoroughly embarrassed.
Krillin, Son Gohan, and the others all focused their attention on the crystal ball, watching Sun Wukong and Frieza. Each of them was worried for Sun Wukong.
Could Goku really defeat that Universe Emperor called Frieza?
That Universe Emperor called Frieza was simply terrifying!
We'd been so naive!
We thought that after training under King Kai for just a few days, we'd already become powerful.
Only now did we understand that there was always someone stronger, and a higher sky beyond the sky.
Krillin and the others lowered their heads in shame, all of them silent.
Namek.
While Frieza was chatting with Piccolo, Sun Wukong returned to Namek once more using Instant Transmission.
Frieza wasn't in a hurry to eliminate Piccolo. He merely surveyed Sun Wukong with interest.
Frieza was certain Sun Wukong would come back.
With his personality, he would never abandon his friends and leave.
If I just kill this Namekian now, how am I supposed to have fun later?
I'll torture Sun Wukong until he breaks down, then kill his friends one by one right in front of him.
It'd be such a shame if he weren't here to see it all!
"Sun Wukong! You've gotten quite a bit stronger!" Frieza said with a light laugh, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at Sun Wukong.
"Frieza, you're no slouch either! Your power's reached this level in just one month." Sun Wukong exclaimed, feeling inexplicably excited.
After saying that, Sun Wukong glanced at Piccolo beside him, a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in that Namekian right now. I'm more curious about how you got so strong." Frieza asked with a smile.
Sun Wukong smiled but didn't answer.
"Could it be that you trained with that fellow named Whis who stays by Lord Beerus's side?" Frieza couldn't help swallowing nervously as he asked.
If that's true, and I kill Sun Wukong now, will Lord Beerus come after me?
I, Frieza, vaguely remember that in my previous life, I destroyed Earth.
Sun Wukong and Vegeta should both have died in the planet's explosion.
But for some reason, I also feel as though I had a dream.
Then, in the blink of an eye, I was back before the planet exploded.
It's rather strange.
Frieza was becoming more and more certain that perhaps Lord Beerus had been secretly meddling and saved Sun Wukong.
"Whis?" Sun Wukong was taken aback. He shook his head and answered honestly, "I don't know him. Who are you talking about?"
"What about Lord Beerus?" Frieza asked again.
"I've heard of Lord Beerus, but I've never met him," Sun Wukong replied. "I heard he's very strong!"
"You've never even met Lord Beerus, yet you've still managed to become this strong. You're truly impressive, Sun Wukong!" Frieza said with an even brighter smile, giving Sun Wukong a thumbs-up.
"Likewise. You're impressive too." Sun Wukong smiled faintly.
"Zarbon, Dodoria, you two are no longer needed here. Go search this planet for the Dragon Balls," Frieza ordered Zarbon and Dodoria.
Zarbon: "..."
Dodoria: "..."
Since arriving on this planet, we'd found signs of people only here. There was no sign of anyone with a battle power anywhere else.
How were we supposed to find the Dragon Balls?
"What is it? Any problems?" Frieza asked, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at them.
"No! Of course not!"
Zarbon and Dodoria hurriedly bowed.
At that moment, the two of them couldn't wait to get away.
A Super Saiyan was standing right in front of them.
He'd spared us back on Planet 79.
We'd better not provoke him.
Still, Frieza seemed to have suddenly become much stronger!
Before, he'd been helpless against this Super Saiyan.
Sun Wukong also glanced toward Zarbon and Dodoria, his expression unchanged.
Zarbon and Dodoria were terrified. Their mouths twitched, and then they quickly retreated with their underlings.
Sun Wukong didn't try to stop Zarbon and Dodoria.
He knew very well that there was no one else left on this planet.
Besides, if nothing unexpected happened, the Dragon Balls would automatically go to the Sacred World of the Kai along with the Namekians.
And even if the Dragon Balls stayed on Namek, none of these people spoke Namekian Language. Even if they found them, they wouldn't be able to make a wish.
They didn't even know how to summon Shenron, did they?
"Piccolo, you should get farther away too!" Sun Wukong called to him without turning around.
Piccolo felt a little put out.
I should get farther away too?
As if the shock waves from your fight could hurt me.
Piccolo grumbled inwardly, but still flew backward for a while to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
"Let's begin, Frieza." Sun Wukong smiled. "I want to see how much progress you've made after training for a month."
"How interesting." Frieza's smile grew brighter. He clenched both fists tightly, and the energy around him erupted wildly.
Rumble!
An immense energy spread out in every direction, with Frieza at its center.
Feeling the immense energy radiating from Frieza, Sun Wukong was truly astonished.
Frieza really was a genius!
In just one month, the energy of his first form had nearly matched that of his fourth form before.
Sun Wukong was positively thrilled. He gazed at Frieza, his face alight with excitement.
"Heh heh heh!" Frieza's lips curled into a smile.
My energy is already nearly as great as it was in my fourth form.
If I had to put a battle power on it, it's at least 120 million.
With battle power this high, I might accidentally kill Sun Wukong while playing with him.
It was worth mentioning that Frieza couldn't sense the strength of other people's energy.
So no matter how high Sun Wukong raised his energy, Frieza had no way of knowing how strong he was unless he tested him personally.
"I accidentally took my power a little too far. Should I lower it just a bit?" Frieza asked, smiling at Sun Wukong.
"No need!" Sun Wukong shook his head.
"You're quite confident, Sun Wukong!" Frieza sneered. "Do you even know how strong I am now? I may only be in my first form, but my strength has already reached the level of my former fourth form!"
"Frieza, I suggest you bring out your final form. Otherwise, you won't stand a chance against me," Sun Wukong said calmly.
"Hmph, nonsense! You'll soon learn what despair feels like!" Frieza sneered contemptuously, then immediately charged toward Sun Wukong and threw a powerful punch at him.
