King Cold

--God's Domain: Lower High Tier.

Looking at the changes on the panel, An Xiu now had a rough sense of where his current strength stood.

His upper limit should be on par with an ordinary Angel, while his lower limit should at least far surpass the level of most Gods of Destruction.

"More or less invincible, I guess..."

An Xiu cultivated in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for nearly half a year. Only after completely familiarizing himself with and mastering his new form did he finally emerge.

Of course, only half a day had passed in the outside world.

An Xiu calculated the dates.

If Frieza's date of revenge had not changed, then judging by the timeline in the original story, he would probably arrive on Earth in about three months.

There was still plenty of time.

During this period, An Xiu did not continue cultivating.

With the Hyperbolic Time Chamber available, there was no need to rush.

Without any outside powerful enemies interfering, aside from Vegeta, that training maniac, the other Z Fighters on Earth were all busy with their daily lives.

To help Raditz and Nappa adapt to Earth's environment faster and rid themselves of the evil in their hearts, An Xiu did not keep them at Kami's Lookout the entire time.

During this time, at An Xiu's request, the two earned quite a bit of money by setting up fighting rings.

They also each got a driver's license.

They even bought RVs in the suburbs of West City and temporarily lived there, indulging in a life of luxury and pleasure.

Of course, as long as they did not break the law, commit crimes, or bully the weak, An Xiu could not be bothered to care what they did.

Two months later.

A year had passed since Piccolo's last wish, and Earth's Dragon Balls could finally be used again.

After gathering the Dragon Balls, An Xiu made three wishes to Shenron.

"Let me directly learn the Metamorans' Fusion Dance."

"Revive the ordinary people killed by the Saiyan Nappa in East City."

"And let the guy staring at the screen right now live a long and prosperous life."

Upon hearing this, Shenron's eyes flashed red.

"Very simple. Your wishes have been granted. Farewell!"

As his words fell, Shenron turned into golden light and vanished the next second, becoming seven stone Dragon Balls once more and scattering in different directions.

An Xiu's first wish was meant as a precaution for the upcoming battle between Earth's warriors and Frieza and his father.

After all, if some unforeseen accident truly occurred in this timeline, they would still have a fallback.

As for the second wish, An Xiu had suddenly remembered that the ordinary people Nappa killed in the original story had never been revived.

Since he had nothing else he wanted to wish for anyway, he might as well use it to revive them.

Not long after, An Xiu called Raditz and Nappa, who were living it up in West City, back to Kami's Lookout.

Then, bored out of his mind, he began another round of time travel.

Since the system would not allow An Xiu to interfere, he could not be bothered to concern himself with matters on Earth anymore.

On the twentieth day after An Xiu left.

In space, a disc-shaped spacecraft had already entered the Solar System.

It was speeding toward Earth at an incredible rate.

Inside the spacecraft.

King Cold sat in the main seat of the cockpit's observation cabin, swirling a glass of red wine as he gazed comfortably at the Earth appearing in his field of vision.

Earth... I've finally arrived...

King Cold sighed inwardly, even feeling a little excited.

His tall, burly body made Frieza, standing beside him, appear especially small.

"Father, Earth is up ahead. That hateful Saiyan named An Xiu, as well as Son Goku, the one capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan, are both there."

Frieza, half of whose head had been mechanically modified, spoke with an extremely solemn expression.

"Although I know your strength is immense, Father, I still hope you won't let your guard down when we fight."

"That Saiyan named An Xiu, even in his normal state, possessed power far beyond that of a Super Saiyan."

"During this time, he may very well have mastered the Super Saiyan transformation as well. We absolutely cannot be careless!"

Listening to Frieza, whose strength had become immensely powerful after undergoing his training, still fear An Xiu so greatly, King Cold's expression could not help turning serious.

An Xiu... Frieza fears him this much even in his normal state. Could that guy have already mastered some mysterious form...?

If that's the case, then this really will be a little troublesome. When the time comes, I'll have no choice but to do that...

As though he had thought of something, King Cold suddenly relaxed. He said to Frieza, "Don't worry, my son. With your father here, a mere Super Saiyan can be killed with the flick of a finger."

"Heh heh heh, then I'll be relying on you entirely, Father."

Hearing his father say this, Frieza's stern expression eased slightly.

King Cold said nothing more. Expressionless, he stared calmly at the empty space ahead, completely focused.

Frieza noticed this.

Or rather, he had noticed long ago, when he reunited with his father after leaving Namek.

His father had become somewhat strange.

Not only had he suddenly displayed power far beyond anything Frieza had imagined before, but he would often zone out as well.

His habits and temperament had become stranger than before, yet he was also much more easygoing. Occasionally, he would even mutter to himself, saying things Frieza could not understand at all.

Of course, Frieza could not be bothered to ask about any of that.

All he cared about now was whether his revenge could be realized.

Before long, the spacecraft that had entered the Solar System was already extremely close to Earth and would land in a few hours.

On Earth.

Sensing two utterly unrestrained evil presences rapidly approaching Earth from outer space, everyone in different parts of the planet was startled.

Frieza?!

Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa, Son Goku, Gohan, and Krillin, the six who had encountered Frieza up close and felt his energy before, were the first to react and recognize the owners of those presences.

Mount Paozu.

Son Goku and Gohan raised their heads in unison, staring grimly in the same direction.

"Frieza has actually become this powerful during this time, all for the sake of revenge..."

Sensing the changes in Frieza's energy, Son Goku spoke with deep emotion, his heart filled with shock.

Suddenly, his and Gohan's expressions changed.

Wait, what's with that energy beside his?!

It was actually dozens of times greater than Frieza's energy?!

They were not the only ones.

Everyone scattered across places like West City and Kame House also sensed that presence standing alongside Frieza, yet dozens of times more powerful than him.
