As the smoke and dust dispersed, a bottomless giant crater had formed in the ground. King Cold's aura had vanished completely, announcing his death!
"So strong! Vegeta took out King Cold!"
Gohan could not help feeling delighted at their side's victory.
"How's the fight on Wukong's side?"
Krillin hurriedly focused his attention on Wukong's battle.
And Wukong's battle with Cooler had also ended.
Cooler was likewise no match for Wukong. Under the attacks of Wukong, who had transformed into a Super Saiyan, Cooler had no power to fight back at all. His tail was seized, and he was flung away directly.
Then, while he was flying backward, Wukong caught up with him and hammered him with a frantic combo. The exoskeletal armor on his body was shattered, and he was covered in wounds. He had not been at full strength to begin with—how could he possibly beat the current Wukong?
Boom!
With another thunderous crash, Cooler was driven straight into the sea, kicking up a huge wave.
"Cooler, get off Earth. Frieza and your father are dead. Don't come back to Earth to make trouble again."
In the end, Wukong still went softhearted. Krillin had not died, his anger had faded, and he had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan. Facing the current Cooler, he still spared his life.
Boom!
The seawater boiled and giant waves surged up as a battered figure flew out of the sea.
"Sun Wukong, I admit you're very strong, but this ends here."
Cooler said viciously.
Then he opened his right hand and extended one finger.
"One time."
"What?"
"I have one more transformation than that bastard Frieza!"
Cooler let out a cold laugh.
Then he looked at Wukong and the people watching from afar.
"You should feel honored. You are the first—and the last—people to ever see This King transform."
"What? That guy Cooler can still transform?"
After Piccolo, whose hearing was extremely sharp, heard Cooler's words, he was instantly horrified.
"How is that possible? Cooler is already that strong. If he gets even stronger, can Wukong still beat him?"
Krillin said worriedly.
"Dad can definitely beat him!"
Gohan still had great confidence in his father.
"Hmph. What transformation? If Kakarot can't deal with that guy, I'll kill them together."
Vegeta folded his arms, utterly disdainful of Cooler's arrogance.
"Hah!——"
Cooler shouted, clenched both fists, and began gathering energy.
Rumble, rumble.
The clouds in the sky scattered, and the seawater below churned constantly under the terrifying energy.
Zzzzt! Zzzzt!
Cooler gathered energy, and purple flames of aura began to swell, producing an extremely powerful vortex. The energy rubbing through the air caused the surrounding temperature to rise.
Cooler's body underwent an enormous change. His muscles bulged, his frame grew larger, and his height reached two and a half meters. A white bone frame grew from his shoulders, sharp bone spurs emerged beside his arms, four white horns rose high from his head, his pupils vanished and turned crimson, a white bone mask formed over his mouth, and all the injuries he had suffered before recovered completely!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!——"
Cooler's aura swelled to an astonishing degree, and his entire being became even more vicious and terrifying!
"Wh-what? That guy Cooler became that strong after transforming?"
Cold sweat poured from Krillin as he looked at Cooler's burly body and sensed that powerful, savage aura. He could not help trembling in fear.
"Dad, you have to win!"
Gohan was likewise worried and prayed for Wukong.
Whoosh!
Wukong was the first to sense that terrifying power after Cooler's transformation, and he immediately raised his guard. But then his pupils shrank.
Bang!
Cooler's figure instantly arrived in front of Wukong, and he punched Wukong in the abdomen.
"Pfft! Ah!"
Wukong failed to react and was struck so hard he bent over.
"Ha!"
Before Wukong could recover, Cooler drove another elbow into his back.
With a thunderous boom, Wukong's body was hammered into the ground like a cannonball. The mountain collapsed, and dust billowed everywhere.
Cooler flared his aura in midair, and purple flames of ki shot skyward once more.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!—"
Cooler spread his hands, gathering a ki cannon in each, then swept them madly toward Wukong's location.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!—
The ki blasts swept across the plain with the speed of machine-gun fire, making the surrounding terrain collapse, shattering rocks, sending dust flying everywhere. Scalding energy surged out like magma!
After that barrage of firepower, thick smoke rolled through the air. The forested mountains from before had been completely blasted away, the ground he had just strafed had sunk several meters, and where the blasts had bombarded, there was an unfathomably deep crater.
After transforming, Cooler's combat power had reached 470 million! It surpassed Wukong's current 350 million!
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph! Hahahahaha!"
Looking at the astonishing destruction he had caused, Cooler laughed wildly again.
"What Saiyan? You're no match for me at all!"
"Don't get so full of yourself!"
"Hah!"
Seeing Cooler's arrogant look, Vegeta could no longer hold back and immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Boom!"
A streak of golden light shot toward Cooler in the sky.
"Ha!"
Vegeta struck in fury.
"Boom!"
Cooler raised his hand and easily caught Vegeta's punch, but the collision between them formed an invisible shockwave in the air.
"What?!"
Vegeta had never expected his furious blow to be stopped by Cooler, and he was extremely shocked.
"Hmph. Weak and powerless!"
Cooler gave a cold laugh.
Then he drove a knee into Vegeta's chest.
"Bang!"
A heaven-shaking sound rang out.
"Ah!—"
Vegeta screamed in agony, as if all his internal organs had been knocked out of place.
"Boom!"
Cooler turned sideways and kicked Vegeta away. Then, as Vegeta flew backward, he flashed in front of him and unleashed a frantic barrage of strikes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—"
Cooler thrashed him wildly in midair, beating Vegeta like a sandbag.
Before Vegeta's previous pain had even faded, violent impacts came from every part of his body. He was beaten senseless all at once, and he could no longer maintain his Super Saiyan state. His golden hair flickered on and off, finally turning black again.
"Boom!"
At last, Cooler clasped his fists together and brought down a heavy blow, smashing Vegeta into the ground.
After a tremendous crash, another mountain peak collapsed, and dust rose on all sides.
Vegeta was knocked back to his normal state, severely injured and unconscious.
"No way, right? Even Vegeta after transforming into a Super Saiyan isn't Cooler's match?"
Krillin said in horror, then turned his gaze to Li Feng.
"Our only hope now is you. Please, Li Feng."
Li Feng nodded slightly and was just about to enter the fight.
In fact, he had already expected that Cooler would transform into his final form.
The current timeline should correspond to the original work, when Wukong had just returned to Earth and Vegeta still hadn't learned to become a Super Saiyan.
But now, because of him, Vegeta had transformed ahead of time and was already much stronger than in the original.
The same went for Wukong. When he had just returned to Earth, he should not yet have reached the level of strength he had during the movie battle against Cooler, so it was understandable that he had lost. In the end, Li Feng still had to step in himself.
Just as Li Feng was about to face him, a golden aura erupted from the place that Cooler had blasted into a huge crater, and a figure slowly rose into the air with the golden beam of light.
"It's not over yet, Cooler!"
