It wasn't just Uchiha Hikaru—everyone present was bewildered. They could all sense just how terrifyingly destructive Uchiha Hikaru's previous strike had been.
And yet, it still hadn't killed Frieza.
For a moment, the entire area fell silent.
"Kehehe... So now you finally understand this king's power, don't you? Mourn for the deaths that await you! Hahahaha!"

"Before you came here, Frieza gathered all seven Dragon Balls, summoned Porunga, and made a wish to the dragon."
Dende lowered his little head deeply, looking somewhat guilty.
Because of Dende's innocence, Frieza
