The Final Spirit Bomb

"Is the gap really this vast? I... I'm finished..."

As the massive explosion triggered by his full-power Kamehameha—surpassing the twenty-fold Kaioken—dissipated, Son Goku laid eyes on the figure that filled him with despair.

Although Frieza's body bore a few minor wounds and his appearance was slightly disheveled, he had not actually sustained any serious damage.

For Son Goku, this strike had been his final hope of defeating Frieza, but the result was cruel.

To Frieza, the attack had caused little physical harm, but the insult was immense.

It also caused a look of fury to cross Frieza's face; that killing intent was palpable even without him deliberately releasing it.

"Good, very good indeed! Saiyan Monkey, your name is Son Goku, correct? To be able to wound this King to such a degree, you can be considered the first! Honestly, that last hit actually stung quite a bit!!"

The moment his words fell, Frieza erupted with energy and descended from the sky.

His speed was unimaginably fast, leaving Son Goku with a look of terror as his body trembled uncontrollably, more violently than before.

For the first time, he felt this kind of despair.

Even if he gave his all, this was the only extent of what he could achieve.

The advice North Kai had given him surfaced in his mind.

He had clearly been warned, yet he had refused to listen, determined to have a grand battle with Frieza.

Now, it was too late for regrets, and he had reached the final moment.

Son Goku realized that he was likely about to be mercilessly killed.

At this very moment, his heart was no longer focused solely on fighting or resisting.

Instead, he wondered what was going on with Piccolo.

Since he had seen the situation here, why hadn't he taken the chance to flee with Krillin and Gohan while there was still an opportunity?

Son Goku remained silent, gasping for air, and Frieza guessed that Son Goku had reached the absolute limit of his endurance.

"It seems your rage has burned out. Now, it is time for you to endure my own." Frieza's expression shifted abruptly.

In an instant, he shot forward, his body shrouded in a pale purple aura, and delivered a headbutt directly to Son Goku's forehead.

This attack was something Son Goku could neither react to nor withstand.

Perhaps a Son Goku at his peak could have parried or dodged it, but the current Son Goku was at the end of his rope.

Son Goku screamed as he was sent flying back hundreds of meters, carving a deep trench into the ground as he slid along the surface, the terrifying residual force tearing up the earth.

Frieza sneered as he walked toward the fallen, screaming Son Goku, arriving directly before him, and without a word, kicked the body that was just trying to crawl back up.

Clearly, Frieza intended to return the insults he had received a hundredfold.

"BOOM!!!"

The moment Son Goku was kicked into the air, he took another blow from Frieza.

His body, completely out of control, plummeted toward another island.

"BOOM!!!!!"

The terrifying explosion shook the area for dozens of miles, causing several islands and the surrounding waters to tremble incessantly.

When the thick smoke cleared, Frieza had once again arrived near Son Goku.

The mocking laughter made the heavily wounded Son Goku unable to say a word.

Seeing this, Frieza lost interest.

With a wave of his hand, a terrifying burst of energy erupted, blasting a bottomless dark abyss in front of Son Goku.

Son Goku could not help but swallow hard.

"I told you before, if I get serious, you are no match for me! I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn't cherish it! However, since you managed to fight me to this extent—the first Saiyan Monkey to push me this far—as a reward, this shall be your grave. You should feel honored, as I have never left anyone's corpse intact." Frieza spoke as he prepared to strike.

Yet, in the next second, he suddenly froze.

Son Goku had actually raised his hands toward him.

This was truly a first in a thousand years.

Frieza was initially confused by Son Goku's behavior.

However, assuming Son Goku was perhaps afraid of death and was raising his hands to surrender, he was willing to accept it.

After all, compared to winning through words, it was far more satisfying to crush a stubborn fool and then force them into submission.

He had lost too many capable subordinates during this conquest of Namek; if Son Goku were truly willing to submit, he could be put to good use.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Since you are sensible enough to beg for mercy, I don't mind giving you another chance..." Frieza crossed his arms, striking a narcissistic pose. "However, you have offended me! So, if you truly wish to keep your life, you must conquer one hundred high-value life-bearing planets for me as repayment! Furthermore, the ownership of Earth shall belong to me!"

Frieza rambled on to himself.

He had no idea what Son Goku was doing at that moment.

Listening to Frieza's arrogant words, Son Goku wished he would keep talking for a while longer.

As long as he was given enough time, he could gather the energy from the planets surrounding Namek.

The energy of Namek alone was too little; it was simply not enough to pose a threat to Frieza.

This was the reason he had not unleashed the Spirit Bomb before.

Now, driven to this point, it was his final hope.

By borrowing the life energy from every living planet in this galaxy, he would blow Frieza to smithereens in one go.

Using the purest energy of the Spirit Bomb, he would eradicate the evil existence that was Frieza.

"What? Still unwilling to declare your stance? This King has already shown great sincerity... Besides, I already know you intend to surrender, so you may put your hands down." Receiving no reply from Son Goku for so long, Frieza furrowed his brows.

Son Goku still did not answer; he was concentrating on gathering the spirit energy.

This made Frieza, who had previously dispelled his anger, grow impatient once more.

"Are you treating my words as wind in your ears? I told you to put your hands down!" The cold, sharp shout was filled with authority.

Frieza saw the indomitable will radiating from Son Goku's eyes.

This was not the look of someone intending to surrender, but rather someone who remained unwilling to give up.

"Very well, very well! You dare to toy with this King! Using such methods to stall for time—what move are you trying to unleash now? Go ahead and show me! I will let you die with your eyes closed!" Veins bulged on Frieza's forehead.

Hearing these words, Son Goku knew he could no longer stall for time by staying silent.

"Don't be so impatient; you'll see it soon enough." Son Goku forced a smile.

He had to draw all the fire to keep Frieza from looking at the scene in the sky.

The Spirit Bomb had already gathered outside the atmosphere, but it still needed a little more time for the energy from other planets to arrive.
