This Damn Planet Namek

Over there, the three of them were worried about the upcoming battle, fearing that if even Son Goku could not defeat Frieza, then everyone would be killed by him.

Elsewhere.

In a remote corner of the battlefield, at the very spot where the powerful energy of the clash between Son Goku and Frieza had erupted, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air without warning.

It was none other than Ron, who had arrived by traversing space via Instant Transmission.

Landing steadily, Ron instinctively let out a sigh of relief.

Just moments ago, he had nearly been caught in a spatial storm. Had he not reached the level of a Super Saiyan, that spatial storm would have torn him to pieces.

Still, the Instant Transmission had been a success.

To be honest, Ron had never imagined that such an accident could occur while using Instant Transmission. After all, he had performed the technique countless times on that planet in the past without ever experiencing anything like this.

It served as a wake-up call for Ron: while the Instant Transmission he had cultivated was convenient and useful, it could lead to disaster if used improperly. At best, he would be severely injured; at worst, there would be nothing left of him.

"I must be more cautious when traversing space next time. Now that I've finally escaped that planet, I must make a trip to Yardrat when I have the chance to perfect my Instant Transmission," Ron muttered to himself, stabilizing his energy so as not to reveal any fluctuations.

This was just a precaution. It would be bad if he were targeted immediately after arriving.

Shifting his focus, Ron had only just begun to spread his senses when he was struck by the oppressive aura emanating from the distance, leaving him no time to marvel at the strangeness of this planet.

"Are these the two emitting such energy? It's even stronger than what I sensed earlier." Staring ahead, he could clearly perceive them even if he couldn't make out their exact forms.

Ron suppressed his Super Saiyan energy, and his form reverted to its base state. The Super Saiyan appearance was too conspicuous; even though his control over his power was perfect enough to avoid easy detection, it was better to be careful.

With the situation unclear, he decided to observe what was happening before deciding on his next move.

"Hmm? There are three other significant energy signatures over there."

Just as Ron intended to move closer, he detected three fluctuations of energy one kilometer to his right. Previously, his attention had been entirely captured by the two overwhelming auras, but now that his senses had returned, he quickly realized there were three other people present.

Looking up, Ron froze.

The two combatants were too far away to see clearly, but these three figures allowed Ron to guess exactly who they were. Especially one of them—green skin, two antennae on his head... what the hell, wasn't that a Namekian?

Wait! So that's Piccolo! The bald one is Krillin, and that kid is Son Gohan... This is Namek! And the ones fighting over there are the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, and Son Goku! Ron's emotions fluctuated violently.

First came extreme shock, followed by the thrill of confirming the situation. He couldn't help but calculate the timeline in his head.

The planet had been destroyed by Frieza shortly after he fled Planet Vegeta. So, it was definitely Age 737. He had spent a full twenty-five or twenty-six years on Planet B11227, which meant the current year was Age 762!

If his memory served him correctly, it should be December 24th, Age 762. In the original story, this was the day Son Goku arrived on Namek, wiped out the Ginyu Force, and triggered the subsequent events... leading to the moment Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan after Krillin's death to defeat the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, and usher in a new era. Of course, Namek would also explode on this day, and all the resurrected Namekians would temporarily relocate to Earth.

The reason Ron remembered this date so clearly was that in his previous life, he had conducted a deep dive into the various timelines of the Dragon Ball main storyline. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been a true fan.

"So, I've arrived at the perfect time! We are at the climax of the battle." An excited look appeared on his face. He had never imagined that upon escaping, he would be thrust directly into the most important part of the plot.

The Emperor of the Universe, Frieza. The first major super-boss with a combat power of 120 million. Having cultivated until he became a Super Saiyan, Frieza was the perfect first major whetstone for his power.

Come to think of it, Frieza was primarily responsible for his escape from Planet Vegeta and his subsequent exile on Planet B11227 for all those years. That was twenty-five years of his life!

"Heh heh heh! Frieza, oh Frieza, since I'm here, you are destined to fall by my hand! Enjoy your moment of relevance with Son Goku for now, and let me see what you're truly capable of." Ron's lips curled into an even more excited smile.

Since he was already a Super Saiyan, there was no need to keep a low profile. It was time to settle scores and be a little arrogant.

Otherwise, what was all that bitter training for all these years?!

"Hmph! Finally making a move? His aura has surged several times over in an instant; has he already started using the Kaioken?"

Muttering to himself, Ron vanished from his spot in a heartbeat.

He concealed his presence and arrived at a better vantage point to watch the battle.

On the island serving as the main battlefield.

Son Goku unleashed his energy in one breath and charged toward Frieza.

This momentum took even Frieza by surprise.

However, since he had already brought out thirty percent of his own strength, he felt not the slightest bit of fear at Son Goku's sudden surge in power.

Facing Son Goku's assault, Frieza kept his arms crossed, dodged the attack with ease, and used his feet to launch a counterattack against Son Goku.

He had said he wouldn't use his hands, so he wouldn't use his hands.

The Emperor of the Universe still cared about his reputation.

Even though the strength Son Goku was displaying now was closing in on his own thirty percent, he didn't go back on his word.

Son Goku truly felt immense pressure.

He had thought he could use this opportunity to unleash a tenfold Kaioken and crush Frieza with overwhelming force.

As it turned out, not only did he fail to gain any advantage, but he was also being toyed with by Frieza.

In particular, while he was in the middle of his fierce onslaught, he hadn't noticed that Frieza's tail also possessed powerful offensive capabilities, and he was sent flying by a lash of it.

Fortunately, he had been tempering his physical durability for some time; after the grueling training under a hundred times gravity and his body recovering from a severe injury, his constitution had been greatly enhanced.

Otherwise, that blow alone would have been enough to put him in a world of hurt.

Having gained the upper hand, Frieza took the initiative to strike at Son Goku with a playful smirk.

However, this time his tail was the primary focus of Son Goku's attention.

By intentionally feigning weakness, Son Goku managed to grab hold of the tail, causing Frieza to lose control of his body. With a three-hundred-sixty-degree super spin, Son Goku slammed him violently into the mountainside of the island.
