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 become a Super Saiyan too.

Naturally, Son Wuling had no interest in what Vegeta was thinking. It was simple—they were not close. He would not grovel before Vegeta just because Vegeta was a major character in the later Dragon Balls story. On the contrary, if Vegeta caused trouble again and kept acting so arrogantly, Son Wuling would not indulge him.

With a mischievous grin, Son Wuling walked over to Son Gohan and teased, "Gohan, that's amazing. You became a Super Saiyan just like Goku. You've completely surpassed me."

Son Wuling's voice was loud, and it sounded unbearably harsh to Vegeta. But when Vegeta recalled Son Gohan's golden figure on Namek, he helplessly unclenched his fists.

Super Saiyan... why? I'm the prince of the Saiyans. Even if someone became a Super Saiyan, it should have been me! Why? Besides Kakarot, even that brat can 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. 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 even know how to fly a spaceship!" Bulma hurriedly ran up to Son Wuling and asked anxiously.

"King Kai... uh, forget it. We'll just use the Dragon Balls to bring Goku back later!"

Thinking of how unreliable King Kai could be, Son Wuling decided against it. He really had overlooked this. Still, he wondered whether Son Goku would end up following the original course of events after all.

At that moment, King Kai on Planet of King Kai was watching Son Goku and Frieza's battle on Namek with utmost concentration. If he had heard Son Wuling's words, he would definitely have protested in anger.

"Goku, why did you do that?!"

After seeing Son Goku share his energy with 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 such a thing in his life, especially toward the Saiyan monkey he hated most?

Son Goku said calmly, "Can't you survive in space? And 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 properly."

Son Goku flew toward the spaceship, gathering a Kamehameha between his palms as it continued charging. He remembered how Son Wuling had dealt with Raditz before. 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. He remembered what Son Goku had said earlier.

"I'm done fighting..."

That golden Super Saiyan, Son Wuling, had spoken those words. It was not contempt or disdain. During the battle, Frieza had more or less understood what kind of person Son Goku was.

But that was exactly why he hated it. He was Frieza, emperor of the universe. Son Goku had shared his energy with him. He had lost, and he admitted that he had lost, but—

"Damn monkey, I... I am Frieza, emperor of the universe! Damn monkey! That's why you... you damn monkey, you have to die by my hand!"

"I will kill you myself, Son Goku..."

Frieza gathered an energy blast and fired it at Son Goku! Yet it no longer carried the same savage ferocity as before. It seemed more like an outlet for his own helplessness!

"Idiot... Kamehameha!"

A thick blue energy beam came roaring forward, instantly blasting through Frieza's attack and continuing onward without holding back!

"Ah..."

The Kamehameha engulfed Frieza. Amid his final scream, his body vanished beneath the Kamehameha.

Frieza's energy disappeared completely. Son Goku flew toward the spaceship Son Wuling had left behind for him!

After chewing and swallowing a Senzu Bean, all his injuries and depleted energy were restored. He returned to his usual peak condition and changed back to normal.

"Ah, no! How did I operate this spaceship again?!"

Son Goku recalled Son Wuling teaching him how to operate the spaceship and set its destination and direction!

Hum!

The cabin sealed shut, and the spaceship began to rise. It had already taken off!

"Ah, it's moving! Right, it'll shake when passing through the atmosphere!"

Son Goku quickly 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. Namek could not be returned to, but all the Namekians had survived!

The Natural Energy Son Wuling had given him allowed him to maintain his youthful state, but it had not changed 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 safeguarded by the elders of the various villages.

"Elder Moori, still nothing!"

Several Namekians came running over. "There's nothing in the waters near Kame House either! What exactly is going on?"

Vegeta sat atop Kame House's roof, sneering. "Maybe it's because I destroyed that village. The Dragon Balls' wish was to revive those killed by Frieza's group. Quite a miscalculation, wasn't it? It revived me too, 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 anytime. But as for you, your wish for immortality has fallen through again, Vegeta. Even the Super Saiyan you've been obsessing over has nothing to do with you!"

"Y-you bastard..."

Vegeta stiffened, unable to 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. Its spinning hiss as it sliced through the air was like a nightmare of death.
