The Emperor of the Universe, Blinded by Rage

Time passed bit by bit.

One minute later.

A curtain of water hundreds of meters high suddenly exploded from the distant sea.

Frieza's figure emerged from within.

It was clear just how furious he was at this moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a trail of blood stained the corner of his mouth.

From the start of the battle until now, this was the first time he had truly bled.

"Damn it, that damn Namekian!!! I haven't even laid a hand on you, yet you dare to push your luck and ambush me!" Frieza hovered in the air, glaring fiercely at Piccolo. "Very well! You've all decided to act, have you? Since that's the case, I'll wipe you all out in one go!"

As he spoke, Frieza's rage only grew, and he roared in uncontrollable fury: "No!! I will have you, along with this entire planet, completely reduced to cosmic dust!"

Frieza's roar carried over a great distance.

Everyone on the battlefield heard it.

Except for Ron, everyone was terrified by his manic state.

The madness of the Emperor of the Universe was always so direct; he would resort to destroying the planet at the slightest provocation.

"Damn it! Son Goku, are you not ready yet? If this continues, that madman Frieza is really going to do something insane!" Piccolo gritted his teeth.

He had intended to stall for more time, but it now seemed that Frieza had no intention of engaging in hand-to-hand combat; instead, he was preparing to unleash that terrifying, evil energy to destroy Namek.

"Wait a little longer, just a little longer! It's almost there! It's almost here!" Son Goku was even more anxious than Piccolo.

Every second counted now.

Piccolo gritted his teeth, knowing he had no choice but to stand before Son Goku and block every attack for him.

On the other side, Son Gohan and Krillin on the cliffside grew tense upon hearing Frieza's threat to destroy Namek. Their energy began to surge, as if they intended to launch an attack to distract Frieza and buy more time.

Ron simply watched, making no move to stop them.

In truth, it was precisely because Frieza was subjected to their repeated attacks that he would eventually, in his blind rage, overlook the Spirit Bomb hovering above his head, leading him to be struck while attempting to unleash his Planet Destroyer Bomb.

"Gohan, let's do this together! Give it everything we've got! This is our only chance; we can't just stand by and watch!" Krillin said to Son Gohan, gritting his teeth.

"Yes, Uncle Krillin!" Son Gohan nodded solemnly.

"Kamehameha!!!"

"Masenko!!!"

The two combined all their power into energy blasts, firing them straight at Frieza.

At that moment, Frieza had just raised his hand to condense a Planet Destroyer Bomb.

Boom!!! A deafening explosion rang out.

An energy attack from an unknown source slammed into his back, causing him such agony that his eyes nearly burst. He glared toward the cliffs of the distant island.

At the sight of Krillin—who had cut off his tail—and that Saiyan brat, his rage surged uncontrollably.

"Ngaaaaaah!! Ants! Damn ants! This ends now!!!"

Frieza's hysterical roar echoed across the sky.

As he raised his hand again, a terrifying sphere of energy condensed at his fingertip, radiating an aura of absolute destruction.

The energy ball didn't look large, but because the energy was compressed to the limit, streaks of black lightning crackled around it, making it exceptionally fearsome.

Just then, Son Goku sensed something.

Knowing that the Spirit Bomb had finally gathered all the energy from the surrounding planets and had become immensely powerful, he shouted in excitement.

"It's ready... it's done!"

"Has it finally succeeded?" Piccolo asked urgently from the side.

Upon receiving Son Goku's nod, Piccolo shouted even more desperately: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and launch it, Son Goku! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I know!" The next second, Son Goku didn't hesitate, slamming both hands downward.

The Spirit Bomb from beyond the atmosphere seemed to respond to the summons; it locked onto Frieza's evil energy and plummeted straight toward him.

Frieza was in the heat of his rage, his attention fully occupied, and he failed to notice the anomaly above his head.

It wasn't until the crushing pressure descended upon him, and the Planet Destroyer Bomb at his fingertip was purified and dispersed by this greater energy, that Frieza snapped back to reality and looked up.

"Oh, no!"

The sight before him made Frieza's heart skip a beat.

Seeing the terrifying energy closing in, he could only grit his teeth and, despite his fear, force himself to reach out and block it.

As the Emperor of the Universe, he would not allow himself to retreat.

"No... I will not, I will not be afraid! This strange energy, it cannot defeat me! Watch as I break it..."

Frieza struggled against the onslaught of the Spirit Bomb, feeling a tearing, agonizing pain throughout his entire body.

The power of the Spirit Bomb was not merely a destruction of the flesh, but a judgment upon the soul.

The power of a Spirit Bomb at this level was truly approaching the hundred-million unit mark.

It was only natural, then, that Frieza would be afraid.

He couldn't block it!

He couldn't block it at all!

Frieza's heart was finally consumed by terror.

He realized he had no way to escape; his entire body was completely swallowed by the Spirit Bomb, which then slammed him violently into the crust of Namek.

In an instant, a terrifyingly massive explosion erupted, its blinding white light seemingly piercing through everything in existence.

A hurricane swept across tens of thousands of miles, and the entire planet shook.

At the center of the blast, the horrifying shockwave crushed almost everything in its path.

Hundreds of islands disintegrated in a heartbeat, and the surrounding seas were evaporated.

The scene was nothing short of an apocalypse.

A nuclear explosion with a yield of billions of tons would be no more impressive than this.

Minutes later, as the massive explosion gradually dissipated, the surface for thousands of miles around had undergone a cataclysmic transformation.

Especially at the point where the Spirit Bomb had struck, a terrifyingly deep abyss was now greedily swallowing the surrounding waters, appearing as bottomless as a void.

Although it hadn't punched through Namek entirely, it had come close to the planet's core.

North King Kai's Planet.

After witnessing the destruction caused by the Spirit Bomb, North King Kai sensed the current situation with extreme tension.

Only when he confirmed that the ki of Goku and the others remained, while Frieza's ki seemed to have vanished, did he finally let go of his heavy heart, his expression shifting to one of excitement and thrill.

He even began to cheer and leap for joy.

"Good! I truly never expected that guy Goku to actually take down that monster Frieza with the Spirit Bomb! He is truly worthy of being the disciple I chose, and the Spirit Bomb is truly worthy of my name!"

North King Kai's excited words naturally brought expressions of joy to the faces of Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu.

"He really did it!"

"I knew that kid Goku could do it!"

"This is wonderful!"
