The Calamity Frieza Would Face

It was rare for a superior to suddenly come and inspect his work.

King Yemma had an excellent grasp of workplace politics.

Knowing what North Kai wanted, he simply went along with the arrangement North Kai had suggested.

"Frieza, I won't go through all the sins you've committed one by one. This thick stack records your countless crimes! I imagine you know that perfectly well yourself, and you've heard the verdict." King Yemma opened the Book of Life and Death and made a check mark on it.

Just as Frieza angrily prepared to fight back, the ground suddenly vanished beneath his feet. An invisible force swallowed his soul, and he plunged into Hell.

In King Yemma's Palace, King Yemma was absolutely invincible. His words were practically law. If he wanted to suppress someone, then Frieza would be no exception—even Perfect Cell and Majin Buu, in their later forms, would be powerless against him.

Frieza had no idea what kind of calamity he would face in the future.

North King Kai's Planet.

After receiving King Yemma's answer, North Kai told Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu that Frieza really was dead.

The three were overjoyed beyond words.

With that, the crisis was finally over, and everyone on Namek was out of danger.

The three were still basking in the joy of Frieza's death.

But North Kai couldn't help growing serious again.

There was another reason.

Frieza was indeed dead now, and no longer a threat. But to Goku and the others, this Super Saiyan named Ron was an unknown danger too.

After all, they didn't know what he was thinking or whether he was good or evil.

He'd been trapped on the Primitive Planet for so many years, and now he'd broken free with a single move and killed the Emperor of the Universe. Would he try to become the new Emperor of the Universe and wreak havoc across the cosmos again?

Out in space.

Ron had no idea what had happened in the Otherworld.

He was absorbed in his own thoughts, evaluating the power of his attack.

"Looks like I'll have to use Spiral Annihilation Cannon sparingly from now on. If it blows up a planet with such ease, there won't be much fun left."

He looked down at his hands, clenched his fists, and chuckled.

Before, he'd had no opponents and no standard to measure himself against.

Besides, he hadn't yet become a Super Saiyan back then. The move had seemed powerful when he used it, but it had still been within the limits of what he could comprehend.

Now things were different.

Using the move as a Super Saiyan, he'd seen that even a monster with a nearly indestructible body like Frieza couldn't withstand it for more than a moment. That was proof that the move was at least SSS-rank.

Calling it a super finisher wouldn't be an exaggeration. It was certainly in a league far beyond Kamehameha—at the very least, it could be compared to Final Flash, the move Vegeta used in the original story.

With the battle over, Ron gathered his thoughts and didn't linger in space.

He used Instant Transmission and vanished from the starry sky.

He reappeared near the spot on Namek where Son Goku and the others were.

At that moment, Son Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan were still doing their utmost to sense the ki around them.

They'd all felt the power of Ron's energy blast. They'd even seen it streak past Namek with their own eyes just moments earlier.

Frieza's ki had vanished completely, leaving only Ron's overwhelmingly powerful presence in the vastness of space.

"Frieza's ki is completely gone. H-he really was taken out?!" Krillin finally blurted.

"Uncle Krillin can't sense Frieza's ki either? I thought I was the only one who couldn't." Son Gohan spoke up.

Son Goku and Piccolo exchanged a glance, communicating silently as they confirmed what each had sensed.

"Looks like Frieza really was destroyed this time! Not even a trace of his ki remains," Piccolo said before Son Goku could speak.

"Even though we didn't get to see it with our own eyes, Ron's last attack was so powerful it's terrifying." Son Goku looked up at the sky again.

The energy contained in that attack was beyond anything he could imagine.

Comparing it to the Spirit Bomb he'd gathered, Ron's attack had been at least ten times as powerful.

The difference was absolute.

No wonder Frieza couldn't survive an attack like that.

"You're sure Frieza really was taken out?" Bulma had heard the four of them talking, but she still couldn't quite believe it.

The question drew everyone's attention.

"Don't worry, Bulma. Frieza's definitely dead this time." Son Goku nodded, giving her a firm answer.

At that, Bulma's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"Now we don't have to worry about Frieza killing us anymore..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bulma hurriedly brought up something else.

"So, can we talk about how to use the Dragon Balls now? If everything goes smoothly, does that mean we can finally leave Namek and go back to Earth?"

To be honest, if they didn't still have to figure out how to use the Dragon Balls to revive their fallen friends, Bulma would have wanted to go home right away.

"We'll still need King Kai's help with that. Let's wait a little longer. King Kai just contacted me, and I want to talk with Ron too..." Son Goku's expression turned slightly serious.

He was simple-minded and hadn't given it much thought.

But after North Kai warned him, he couldn't help feeling concerned.

If Ron turned out to be their enemy, they'd be finished.

So they needed to find out what kind of person Ron was... or what he planned to do next.

Only then could they decide how to use the Dragon Balls.

They had only one chance. If they missed it, they'd never get another.

"Oh? So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Suddenly, Ron's voice rang out.

All five of them jolted and turned to look.

Sure enough, Ron stood nearby in his Super Saiyan form, watching them with a faint, knowing smile.

A wave of pressure washed over them. They instinctively grew alert and raised their ki to resist it.

"Could that be Instant Transmission?" Son Goku asked.

Ron nodded slightly, answering him.

"That really is a convenient ability. You crossed such a huge distance in the blink of an eye." Son Goku's eyes widened in astonishment, his expression exaggerated. "So that's what you used to catch up with Frieza earlier."

"Mm-hmm." Ron nodded again.

After getting his answer, Son Goku's eyes gradually filled with longing.

If he could, he really wanted to learn the move.

Whether it was for travel, pursuit, escape, or rescuing someone, it was an impeccable secret technique.

Seeing his reaction, Ron felt a little playful and said, "You're thinking that if you learned this move, getting between Earth and Namek would take just a thought, and you could travel back and forth in an instant, aren't you?"
