Everyone Perishes, Super Saiyan Son Goku

Goku reverted to his normal form, gasping for breath as he looked into the distance. A figure emerged—it was Frieza.

Frieza's left arm hung limp while his right hand supported it. Purple blood continued to stream from his left leg, and he panted heavily, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.

"Damn Saiyan monkey! That attack actually made me feel fear! Unforgivable!" Frieza roared.

"You shouldn't have the strength to use that move again, should you? I'll kill all of you, then go to that planet called Earth and set off a grand fireworks display to soothe my wounded heart." Frieza slowly calmed down again.

Frieza gradually floated toward Goku. For the first time, his eyes carried such intense killing intent. When he reached Goku's side, he suddenly lashed him toward the ground with his tail.

Damn it, still can't do it? My body is already close to its limit. Goku lay on the ground, taking as many breaths as he could to recover his strength.

Watching Frieza drift down from the sky, Goku struggled to rise. His hands rested at his waist as though supporting his body, while every muscle trembled, telling him that he was nearing his limit.

However, when Frieza drew a little closer, red flames flared around Goku's body once more. A twentyfold Kaio-ken Kamehameha blasted toward Frieza again.

Unfortunately, although Frieza had approached, he had not lowered his guard. The instant he saw the red aura, he was already prepared to evade. Goku's Kamehameha missed, and his body collapsed to the ground, unable to support itself any longer.

Still shaken, Frieza looked at Goku and formed an energy blast in his hand before throwing it at him. After the explosion, he saw that Goku did not even have the strength to dodge. Only then did he land beside him and use his tail to coil Goku up, lifting him level with his own height.

"No strength left to resist? Ho ho ho ho!"

"I won't let you die as easily as Vegeta did. I'll torture you mercilessly and make you feel despair like hell itself," Frieza said with a savage expression. Then his tail tightened around Goku's neck as he repeatedly kicked Goku in the chest.

"Goku!" When the others in the distance sensed Goku's aura weakening, they all rushed over. Watching this scene, their eyes burned with rage, but there was nothing they could do. When they had felt those two overwhelming auras earlier, they had not even been able to get close.

All they could do now was pray for a chance to feed Goku a Senzu Bean, or for Ye Bai on Earth to notice something was wrong and teleport over. Just then, Krillin suddenly remembered the Dragon Balls. He was about to tell the others to find Bulma and locate the remaining Dragon Ball to make a wish—

Frieza, who had been brutally tormenting Goku, turned his head and saw them. He stopped, turned Goku around, and began gathering terrifying energy in his hand.

Goku painfully raised his head to look at the group talking in the distance. Noticing the direction the terrifying energy sphere beside him was aimed at, he wanted to shout for them to run, but could only move his lips soundlessly as he watched the energy sphere fly toward Krillin and the others.

With a thunderous explosion, the entire area vanished from sight, leaving only endless dust. As the dust dispersed, all that remained was surging seawater pouring in.

"Oh my, nothing's left. Ho ho ho ho." Frieza's grating voice reached his ears.

Memories from the past flashed before his eyes, followed by overwhelming grief. Frieza's mouth was still moving, but Goku could no longer hear anything. After the grief came endless rage, and Goku's entire body trembled with fury.

Dark clouds covered the sky as countless golden bolts of lightning raced through them. Frieza stared at the scene, unable to understand what was happening. Then a golden shockwave blasted him away. Looking back to where Goku had been standing, he saw Goku's hair and eyebrows flickering between black and gold.

"Ah!"

With Goku's roar, they turned completely golden, and his pupils became light green. A golden aura surged upward, enveloping his entire body.

"Are you ready, Frieza?" Goku's light green eyes fixed on Frieza, revealing killing intent for the first time.

"What? Just who are you?" Frieza asked as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him.

Goku vanished from where he stood and appeared in front of Frieza. "You've known me all along, haven't you?"

"I'm a Saiyan who grew up on Earth. I came here from Earth to defeat you. I once had a heart that loved peace, but now, because of my anger, I have awakened as the legendary warrior."

"Super Saiyan Son Goku!"

After saying that, Goku unleashed his aura. He raised one hand toward Frieza and exerted the slightest force, sending Frieza flying away on the shockwave. Frieza tumbled through the air several times before finally steadying himself.

When he turned around, Goku had already disappeared. Frieza looked around in every direction, searching for Goku, but found nothing.

"Looking for me, Frieza?"

Goku's voice came from behind him. Frieza turned around in terror, only for Goku's fist to slam into his abdomen, doubling him over. A golden shockwave burst from his back and shot into the sky.

Goku did not press the advantage. Instead, he put some distance between them and watched Frieza's pained expression.

After recovering, Frieza finally chose to use his full power. As his muscles swelled, Frieza's aura rose again and again until it reached its peak. His entire body expanded to twice its original size.

Having released all his power, Frieza charged at Goku, his attacks striking Goku's body without pause. Goku merely crossed his arms and blocked. Once Frieza's assault had nearly run its course, Goku grabbed the incoming fist and raised his head.

"Is this all your strength amounts to, Frieza?"

With that, his fists rained down on Frieza's face. Then he kicked Frieza away, flashed behind him once more, and used the incoming momentum to drive a knee into his lower back.

Crack

Frieza's body bent backward at an unnatural angle. His eyes widened, his mouth hung open, and he trembled involuntarily before falling limply downward.

As Frieza plunged into the rushing river below, Goku watched from above. He spread his hands apart and assumed the stance for a Kamehameha, preparing to end everything.

Suddenly, a red-black light flared from the water. The planet began to shake violently, followed by a massive explosion. Below, an endless crater appeared. The entire River Continent vanished, and boundless subterranean fire erupted in a violent frenzy.
