"Ohohoho! It seems you have all realized that your ending is unchangeable... I had expected you to put up a bit more of a death struggle; you truly disappoint this King."

Frieza's voice descended from above, heard by everyone on the ground.

"However, it cannot be helped. After all, once this King brings out his true strength, it is simply too overwhelming for you. It is understandable that you are unable to resist."

Rampant laughter followed immediately after.

It was the feeling of someone who held nothing in his eyes, convinced that he was the supreme ruler looking down from on high.

"You really do talk too much. If you don't die, who will?"

Ron couldn't help but mutter a sarcastic remark.

To be fair, a large part of the reason Frieza died in the original story was his excessive chatter.

It was a scenario that should have been impossible to turn around; with a combat power of 120 million, no matter how many times you cheated or revived, how could you possibly lose?

Yet, he managed to play a winning hand into a complete disaster, firmly cementing himself as a stepping stone for Son Goku.

He had countless opportunities to nip every threat in the bud, but his arrogance and conceit caused him to miss chance after chance, ultimately leading him to a dead end.

Honestly, looking back at the original plot, Ron felt that Frieza was also a stubborn fool.

Even after being spared by Son Goku, he still insisted on courting death.

Even when he was lucky enough to survive the planet's explosion, his first thought upon recovery wasn't to train and grow stronger for revenge, but to immediately bring his father to Earth to settle the score.

This interstellar suicide mission was truly beyond comprehension.

And he was a total embarrassment to his father, too.

Truth be told, it was a classic case of plot-induced stupidity.

Frankly, was the King's intelligence really that low?

Clearly not.

If he were truly a fool, he wouldn't have been relevant in the later parts of the story.

It can only be said that Frieza had been invincible for too long; from the very beginning, he overestimated himself and underestimated Son Goku's Super Saiyan form.

He mistakenly believed that he had been evenly matched with Son Goku on Namek and only lost due to a bit of bad luck.

After recovering, his strength had increased, and he had his father to back him up, which was why he was so decisive in seeking revenge.

Returning to the present, Ron looked up at the massive Planet Destroyer Bomb.

Ron was starting to get impatient.

If you aren't going to drop it yet, are you waiting for the New Year?

He was restless, wishing Frieza would hurry up and make his move.

Son Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Son Gohan, and Bulma were even more anxious and uneasy.

Things had reached this point, and they were powerless; all they could do now was stare helplessly.

As for leaving, that was only something they could have thought about earlier.

If Ron could block this attack, it would be fine.

But if he couldn't, then it wouldn't matter where they ran.

It was at this moment that Frieza, high in the sky, hesitated no longer.

"Hyaaaa!!!"

A shout erupted from his throat.

Immediately following, as he swung his arm, that incredibly massive Planet Destroyer Bomb descended like a crashing meteor, carrying the power to annihilate everything and sweeping across the entire planet of Namek.

The pressure was overwhelming, something no ordinary person could withstand.

Even Piccolo, who still retained some combat power, was frozen in place by the sheer intimidation.

Krillin and Son Gohan were trembling.

Son Goku and Bulma were only able to stand because they were being supported by Krillin and Son Gohan.

But for Ron, this sense of oppression was not worth mentioning.

It had to be said that while the Planet Destroyer Bomb looked terrifying and intimidating, for an existence at his level, it was really nothing more than that.

Even without transforming into a Super Saiyan, as long as he used the Blood Burning Technique to unleash ten times his combat power, he could easily withstand it.

"This guy Frieza really didn't use his full strength after all."

Muttering to himself again, Ron rose slowly into the air, facing the Planet Destroyer Bomb.

Ron understood everything now.

Although Frieza claimed he would blow up Namek and turn everyone into cosmic dust, in reality, he was still worried about being caught in the planet's explosion himself, so he deliberately suppressed most of his power, just as he had done in the original story.

Standing in the air, facing the descending Planet Destroyer Bomb, Ron channeled the energy within his body, remaining ready at all times.

He did not explode with aura; instead, he kept it perfectly contained within every part of his body, ready to unleash his full power in an instant the moment he needed to.

This was the state Ron had maintained for all these years.

The 99 Soul Forging Technique and 9 Refinement Body Technique worked in tandem to polish his physical body, spirit, and soul; the results of practicing them in this world far exceeded his imagination.

Ron's physical strength, essence, energy, and spirit had reached a level of perfect fusion, leaving almost no flaws.

On the ground.

Witnessing Ron's actions and watching him face the Planet Destroyer Bomb head-on, the scene once again shocked everyone.

They had not expected Ron to choose the most direct method instead of using his own energy to launch an attack to intercept it.

Could he really block it?

This was the question echoing in everyone's hearts.

People were just like that, always prone to overthinking.

Even if you knew something was absolutely safe, you would still inevitably worry about the "what ifs."

Of course, no one spoke now; they simply looked up.

The Planet Destroyer Bomb drew closer and closer, and the power Ron felt grew increasingly intense, causing his expression to turn incredibly solemn.

The pressure, heavy as Mount Tai, was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

After all, as the energy bomb surged forward, its diameter had reached dozens, even hundreds of kilometers—equivalent to nearly a hundred thousand meters.

The area it covered was practically the size of a large city.

"Interesting! Only then is it enough to make me take this seriously!"

As these words left his lips, a visible blood-colored mist began to permeate from Ron's body.

This scorching power, ignited by burning his bloodline, caused Ron's combat strength to multiply.

It looked similar to the Kaioken, yet there was a significant difference.

The Kaioken was an explosion of aura, a short-term detonation of the potential and vitality within the body to increase combat strength exponentially.

Ron's Blood Burning Technique, originating from Swallowed Star, was the pure stimulation of the body's ultimate power, drawing out the deepest bloodline strength to elevate his combat prowess.

As he unleashed the Blood Burning Technique, Ron's pupils turned crimson, and his expression became crazed, as if he had fallen into a demonic trance.

The release of his bloodline power awakened the beast within Ron.

"Hahahahaha~~!!"

Amidst his wild laughter, Ron thrust his hands forward with all his might, his blood-shrouded palms slamming directly into the Planet Destroyer Bomb.

Feeling the thrust of the Planet Destroyer Bomb firsthand, the madness in Ron's eyes intensified.

As he was pushed back bit by bit, scorching waves of air erupted from his nose and mouth.

"Stop for me!!!"

"BOOM!!!"

With his roar, the blood energy exploded completely, and Ron's power expanded in an instant, reaching a combat strength of hundreds of millions.
