Earth, Kame House!
Son Wuling spotted Vegeta as well. Vegeta remained silent, looking deeply shaken. From time to time, he glanced at Son Gohan, clearly unable to accept that Son Gohan had also become a Super Saiyan.
Son Wuling naturally had no interest in what Vegeta was thinking. It was simple—they were not close. He would not grovel before him just because Vegeta was an important character later in Dragon Balls. On the contrary, if Vegeta still wanted to cause trouble and act all high and mighty, Son Wuling would not indulge him.
With a mischievous grin, Son Wuling walked over to Son Gohan and teased, "Gohan, you're amazing. You became a Super Saiyan just like Goku. You've completely surpassed me."
Son Wuling's voice was loud, and it sounded unbearably piercing to Vegeta. But when he recalled Son Gohan's golden figure on Namek, he helplessly unclenched his fists.
"Super Saiyan... Why? I'm clearly the Prince of the Saiyans. Even if someone became a Super Saiyan, it should have been me! Why, other than Kakarot, can even that brat become a Super Saiyan?!"
Vegeta roared furiously in his heart, desperately wanting to vent all the rage inside him.
"Oh... Bulma!"
A thought suddenly flashed through Son Wuling's mind, and his expression changed drastically!
"Bulma, when we left Namek in the spaceship, did you set the course back to Earth?"
Bulma shook her head. Then she suddenly remembered that Son Goku was still on Namek.
"Ah, no, I forgot! What do we do, Wuling? Son, he's still on Namek, and he doesn't know how to fly a spaceship!" Bulma hurried over to Son Wuling and asked anxiously.
"King Kai... Uh, forget him. We should wait and use the Dragon Balls to bring Goku back!"
Thinking of how unreliable King Kai could be, Son Wuling decided against it. He had truly overlooked this, though he did not know whether Son Goku would still follow the original course of events.
At that moment, King Kai on King Kai Planet was intently watching the battle between Son Goku and Frieza on Namek. If he had heard Son Wuling's words, he would definitely have angrily protested.
"Goku, why did you do that?!"
After seeing Son Goku give some of his energy to Frieza, King Kai shouted in agitation.
Namek!
Frieza looked at his current state in disbelief. Son Goku had actually shared his energy with him—he had truly saved him!
"What a surprise. You... you really gave me your energy! Damn monkey!"
Even Frieza himself did not know what he was feeling. Gratitude? Impossible. How could Frieza ever feel something like that, especially toward the Saiyan monkey he despised most?!
Son Goku said calmly, "Can't you survive in space? You still have those lackeys of yours. You can wait for them to come save you. From now on, just cling to life and cherish it."
Son Goku flew toward the spaceship while gathering a Kamehameha between his palms, continuously charging it. He recalled how Son Wuling had dealt with Raditz. Likewise, if Frieza made any suspicious move, he would immediately fire the Kamehameha at him!
Frieza gritted his teeth as he watched Son Goku's departing back, recalling what Son Goku had said to him before!
"I'm done fighting..."
That golden Super Saiyan, Son Wuling, had said those words. It was not contempt or disdain. During the battle, Frieza had more or less understood what kind of person Son Goku was.
And that was precisely why he hated him. He was Frieza, Emperor of the Universe. Son Goku had shared his energy with him. He had lost—he admitted that he had lost—but!
"Damn monkey, I... I am Frieza, Emperor of the Universe! Damn monkey, so you, you damn monkey, must die by my hand!"
"I will kill you myself, Son Goku..."
Frieza gathered an energy blast and fired it at Son Goku! Yet it was no longer as vicious as before; it seemed more like an outlet for his own helplessness!
"Idiot... Kamehameha!"
A thick blue energy beam came roaring in, instantly smashing through Frieza's energy blast and surging onward without holding back!
"Ah..."
The Kamehameha engulfed Frieza. With his final cry, his body vanished beneath the Kamehameha.
Frieza's energy disappeared completely, and Son Goku flew toward the spaceship Son Wuling had left for him!
After chewing and swallowing a Senzu Bean, all his injuries and expended energy recovered. He returned to his normal peak condition and changed back to normal.
"Oh no, how did you fly this spaceship again?!"
Son Goku recalled Son Wuling teaching him how to operate the spaceship and set its destination!
Buzz!
The cabin closed, and the spaceship began to rise. It had already taken off!
"Oh, it's moving. Right, there'll be turbulence when passing through the atmosphere!"
Son Goku hurriedly sat down and fastened his seat belt, completely failing to notice that the spaceship was not heading toward Earth!
Everything seemed to return to its original course!
At Kame House, the Grand Elder sat on the beach with a relieved smile on his face. Though he could not return to Namek, all the Namekians had survived!
The Natural Energy Son Wuling gave him allowed him to maintain his former youthful state, but it did not change the essence of things. His time was already running out.
Aside from the One-Star Dragon Ball kept by the Grand Elder, the other six Dragon Balls were each held by the elder of a different village.
"Elder Moori, still nothing!"
Several Namekians ran over and said, "There's nothing in the waters near Kame House either! What is going on?"
Vegeta sat atop Kame House and sneered. "Maybe it's because I destroyed that village! The Dragon Balls' wish was to revive those killed by Frieza and his group. Quite the miscalculation, wasn't it? It brought me back to life, and I'm not part of Frieza's group."
Vegeta's words made all the Namekians clench their fists and glare at him furiously!
Son Wuling narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "Is that so? It's fine. Don't forget the Dragon Balls—those Namekians you killed can be revived at any time. But you, your wish for immortality has fallen through again, Vegeta. Even the Super Saiyan you've been dreaming about has absolutely nothing to do with you!"
"Y-you bastard..."
Vegeta went stiff and could not say another word. His eyes trembled, and cold sweat formed on his forehead.
"W-when?"
Son Wuling was now standing behind Vegeta, the Destructo Disc in his hand pressed tightly against Vegeta's head. The sound of it spinning and cutting through the air was like a nightmare of death.
