Frieza slowly flew over while seated on his throne. "Has Sun Wukong not arrived yet?"
Krillin answered nervously, "He'll be here soon. Sorry for the trouble—please wait a little longer!"
Just then, a jet landed, and Bulma jumped out!
It turned out that Bulma couldn't find Gohan or Ōten. After seeing the news that North City had been destroyed, she flew over.
As soon as she landed, she spotted Gohan and Ōten, who had disappeared from her home!
"So you really did come here! I spent ages looking for you at home. You left without saying a word—that wasn't very nice!"
Hearing Bulma's complaint, Gohan gave an embarrassed smile, while Ōten smiled and said, "Miss Bulma, I'm really sorry. Something came up, so I hope you'll forgive me!"
Seeing how polite Ōten was, Bulma felt too awkward to keep blaming him!
She turned her head and saw Frieza across from them!
"Could that round thing be Frieza, sitting on top of it?"
Krillin walked over and asked, "Miss Bulma, what are you doing here? And who's this young man? Do you know him?"
Bulma smiled. "Something this serious is happening, and Vegeta isn't around, so I came. This is the Inspector. Oh, and he's Gohan's friend!"
Everyone looked at Son Gohan in surprise!
Gohan could only smile wryly.
Ōten smiled. "I'm Ōten. It's nice to meet you all!"
Seeing how courteous Ōten was, everyone greeted him in turn!
Bulma added, "At this crucial moment, I can't get in touch with either Sun Wukong or Vegeta!"
"I tried contacting Whis, but he hasn't replied!"
Then Bulma looked at Frieza again. "Weren't you dead?"
"Why have you come back for revenge?"
"How did you come back to life?"
Krillin hurriedly said, "Miss Bulma, at least be careful how you put it!"
Frieza's lips curled up. "It seems you know about me!"
"So you've been to Namek, too!"
Seated on his throne, Frieza asked, "Where is your friend Sun Wukong?"
Bulma clenched her fists. "Why come for revenge only now, after all this time?"
Frieza smiled. "A lot has happened. I really am late!"
Bulma looked relaxed. "Sun Wukong would beat you so easily now!"
"While he's still on his way, you'd better hurry back!"
Krillin immediately warned her, "Miss Bulma, don't provoke him!"
A smile appeared on Frieza's face. "By the time he gets here, all his friends will have been killed!"
"He'll be devastated!"
Bulma turned to Gohan. "Gohan, you can beat him easily, right?"
Gohan glanced at the calm Ōten. He wasn't confident at all. This time, Earth's fate rested in Ōten's hands!
Son Gohan's expression turned grave. "Miss Bulma, you may not have noticed, but Frieza won't be easy to deal with!"
"He's like a completely different person from before!"
"His power has increased a lot!"
Bulma's face fell. "How can that be?"
She looked at Ōten beside her. "Lord Ōten, aren't you a great god? You can defeat Frieza, can't you?"
At that, Ōten slowly opened his closed eyes!
"Leave it to me, Miss Bulma. But remember, you owe me a feast!"
Hearing that Ōten was willing to help, Bulma immediately agreed. "No problem! If you defeat Frieza, I'll treat you to a hundred meals!"
Frieza had already lost his patience!
"Since Sun Wukong isn't here, let the game begin!"
Frieza spoke coldly!
Hearing Frieza's command, Sorbet immediately swept his hand through the air. "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
The next moment, more than a thousand soldiers charged out like a swarm of locusts!
Everyone around them prepared to fight!
Ōten stepped forward and casually swept his raised right hand through the air!
A streak of light appeared in the sky, and then the more than a thousand soldiers dropped like dumplings!
Everyone was stunned!
Utterly stunned!
The Dragon Ball warriors stared with their eyes wide open!
"Lord Ōten really is amazing!" Bulma exclaimed excitedly!
Across from them, Frieza stared in surprise at the young man who had appeared out of nowhere!
"Y-you... who are you?"
Ōten smiled faintly. "Hello, Frieza. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your name is practically legendary."
Hearing that Ōten knew who he was—
"Oh-ho-ho-ho!"
"My reputation has spread throughout the universe!"
Frieza laughed!
"Lord Ōten, hurry up and defeat Frieza!" Bulma cheered, waving her little fists!
Frieza flew straight into the air, a terrifying aura bursting forth in an instant!
Ōten quickly rose into the sky as well, hovering opposite Frieza!
"Frieza, transform. Let me see your true power!"
Frieza was taken aback. "You know that much about me? Very well, I'll do as you wish!"
Ōten calmly watched Frieza!
The two stared at each other. Then Frieza gave a sinister smile, let out a fierce roar, and began to transform!
A terrifying gale rose around Frieza, and the entire Earth began to tremble!
Frieza's body slowly changed, and as it did, his power rapidly increased!
Ōten watched Frieza transforming.
"The Frieza race really is a remarkably gifted race!"
A minute later, Frieza had finally taken his ultimate form!
"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Sorry to keep you waiting. This is the transformation you were looking forward to!"
Before Ōten could react, Frieza moved. He shot forward at high speed and vanished from where he stood. When he appeared again, Ōten reacted instantly and kicked him hard in the face!
Frieza touched his injured face. "I never thought Earth would have a fighter like you. But you picked the wrong opponent!"
Red energy gathered at Frieza's fingertip again!
With a low growl, he fired a red beam!
Ōten simply held out his palm and swept it aside, deflecting the beam!
Seeing his signature attack knocked away in an instant, Frieza's face twisted with anger!
"Are you getting a little too full of yourself?"
Frieza immediately charged at Ōten in a fury!
But his fierce punch hit nothing. All that remained in the air was Ōten's afterimage!
Ōten's voice came from below. "Frieza, I'm over here. Where are you even aiming?"
"Damn you! How dare you toy with me, the great Frieza!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frieza rushed down toward Ōten and unleashed a flurry of attacks!
Frieza's hands moved like lightning as he threw punch after punch at Ōten, but every single one missed!
Staring at the afterimages in the air, Frieza clenched his teeth in anger and roared, "Brat, is dodging all you can do?"
"Lord Ōten is incredible. Frieza can't even touch him!" Bulma murmured.
Gohan nodded in agreement.
"Lord Ōten's strength is unfathomable. I never thought Frieza wouldn't even be able to gain the upper hand against him!"
Facing Frieza's roar, Ōten chuckled. "It seems you still don't understand. Go ahead and try attacking again!"
Ōten's words enraged Frieza completely. He let out a loud roar!
"How dare you look down on me! Damn it!"
Ōten beckoned to Frieza from across the way. That taunting gesture sent the already furious Frieza into a rage!
He charged madly at Ōten, his lightning-fast fist hurtling straight toward him!
Ōten raised a single finger. Seeing him act as if Frieza were no threat, Frieza became even more determined to kill him!
He unleashed a rapid flurry of punches, but Ōten effortlessly blocked every one with his finger!
Just as Frieza stared in shock, Ōten flashed above him and smiled. "This is how you use a fist!"
His ghostly punch slammed into Frieza's head!
Frieza immediately felt a terrifying force spread throughout his body, and he hurtled helplessly downward!
BOOM!!!
Frieza crashed hard into the cliff, filling the air with dust!
