Frieza's Crushing Defeat

"Disappear!"

Frieza roared as he hurled the Planet Destroyer he had condensed above his head toward Namek!

The massive destruction bomb, like a small asteroid, slowly descended toward Namek. It was as though the apocalypse had arrived!

However.

From Namek, a white beam shot into the sky and struck the Planet Destroyer!

Boom!!

The enormous destruction bomb was forced back by the Noa Ray!

"Nani?!"

Seeing the Planet Destroyer being pushed back, Frieza cried out in alarm before his body was swallowed by it!

Whoosh~!

Pushed by the Noa Ray, the massive Planet Destroyer was sent deep into space, far away from Namek, before exploding with a thunderous blast!

Boom!!

The immense energy shockwave swept out, blasting the asteroid field in space into dust!

In the empty void of space, Frieza was covered in blood and already severely injured!

"D... damn it!"

Frieza gritted his teeth and glared in Namek's direction, but he no longer dared to charge over. Knowing full well that he was no match for Noa, he turned and tried to flee.

Swish!

Noa suddenly appeared, blocking Frieza's path.

"Y... you! What do you want?!" Frieza backed away in terror at the sight of Noa suddenly appearing.

"Frieza, you recruited me before. Now it's my turn," Noa said teasingly.

"Y... what did you say?!" Frieza understood what Noa meant and immediately ground his teeth in fury!

"You actually want me, the great King Frieza, to become your subordinate?! Dream on!" Frieza roared.

"Is that so? Are you sure you want to refuse my offer? If you refuse, you'll die," Noa said teasingly, his words carrying an unmistakable threat.

"Y... you bastard!" Frieza's heart pounded violently twice before he roared and threw a punch at Noa!

Bang!

Noa easily caught Frieza's fist, then chopped the side of Frieza's neck with his hand!

Thud~!

After a dull impact, accompanied by Frieza's pained cry, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed, falling asleep in space.

Looking at Frieza, who had passed out just like that, Noa chuckled and grabbed him before teleporting back to Namek.

Namek.

Son Goku and Nappa had been wondering where Noa had suddenly disappeared to, only for him to appear behind them the very next second.

"Yo!"

The sudden voice behind them startled Son Goku and Nappa. The two hurriedly pulled away and turned around, only to find that the person behind them was Li Wei.

"So it was Li Wei. You gave me a scare!" Son Goku let out a breath of relief.

Seeing Li Wei's composed demeanor, Nappa's eyes filled with admiration and awe. He respectfully bowed and called out, "Lord Li Wei."

"Mm." Li Wei nodded, then casually tossed Frieza, whom he had been carrying, onto the ground.

Son Goku and Nappa looked curiously at Frieza, shock appearing in both their eyes.

"L-Lord Li Wei, did you kill Frieza?" Nappa asked expectantly.

Li Wei shook his head. "Although Frieza has committed countless evils, he still has some use. There's no need to kill him. I intend to subdue him."

"What?! Subdue Frieza?!" Nappa's eyes widened in shock.

Son Goku, on the other hand, did not care much about such matters. In fact, he was rather happy that Li Wei had spared Frieza's life.

"That's great! This way, I can train hard and defeat Frieza with my own strength!" Son Goku said with an excited smile.

"What? You want to defeat Frieza? Kakarot, you're being far too arrogant. You should be able to sense the gap between us and Frieza. Saying we're ants trying to shake a tree wouldn't be an exaggeration. It's simply impossible for us to beat him!"

Nappa repeatedly shook his head. Li Wei was one thing—he was unfathomably powerful to begin with—but Nappa knew the Saiyans' limits very well. He simply did not dare imagine a Saiyan defeating Frieza.

"Ugh~"

As everyone spoke, the unconscious Frieza woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, Frieza saw three familiar faces.

Frieza froze for a moment, then hurriedly leaped up and put some distance between himself and Li Wei's group.

"Yo, Frieza. You're awake. Have you thought over my earlier proposal?" Li Wei greeted him with a raised hand and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Frieza recalled Li Wei's earlier offer, and humiliation quickly turned into anger.

"Keep dreaming! I, the mighty King Frieza, will never submit to anyone!" Frieza roared.

"Is that so? Looks like I went too easy on you before." Li Wei cracked his knuckles. This time, without transforming, he remained in human form and relentlessly pummeled Frieza.

"Arghhh!"

Frieza wailed as Li Wei repeatedly beat him like a punching bag, leaving him completely unable to fight back.

Bang!!

Li Wei punched Frieza into the ground. The tremendous force and pain knocked Frieza unconscious on the spot.

Seeing this, Son Goku frowned. "Li Wei, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

Li Wei shook out his hand. "This isn't cruelty. It's just some loving education. I'm teaching him to be a good person, but he's being a little disobedient."

"Kakarot, you're too naive. Do you think Frieza is a good person? Do you know how many people he's killed? For a scoundrel like him, the fact that Lord Li Wei didn't kill him is already merciful!" Nappa rebuked him.

"But... but..." Son Goku wanted to argue, yet he could not find the right words.

Seeing that, Li Wei shook his head helplessly. Son Goku was good in every way, except that he could be a little indecisive.

Still, that personality was quite suitable for becoming a Warrior of Light!

Son Goku was one of the underlings Li Wei had his eye on. Once the time was right, he would grant Son Goku the power of light.

"Goku, you don't need to explain anything. Just keep your kind heart. But there will always be dark matters in this world that aren't meant for someone like you to handle, so leave them to me."

Li Wei smiled and patted Son Goku on the shoulder. Then, hoisting Frieza over his shoulder, he said with a smile, "Vegeta won't arrive on Namek for a few more days. I'll take you somewhere nice first."

"Huh? Vegeta is coming too?" Son Goku froze, then asked in surprise.

"Vegeta... Prince." Upon hearing Vegeta's name, Nappa's gaze turned complicated.

Li Wei glanced at Nappa's conflicted expression and smiled. "Nappa, there's still quite a gap between your strength and Vegeta's. I'll take you somewhere to increase your power."

"Increase our power?!"

Son Goku and Nappa's eyes both lit up at those words.

"Come on. I'll take you to meet Namek's Grand Elder." With a thought, Li Wei teleported Son Goku and Nappa to the front of the house where Namek's Grand Elder lived.
