Two Dark Dragon Balls had fallen into the hands of Shulum and the Time Patrol, one each.
But there was actually a third Dark Dragon Ball at the scene.
When Janemba Buu was hacked into pulp, another Dark Dragon Ball fell from his corpse.
Only then did Shulum suddenly remember that before absorbing Janemba, Dark Buu had already been possessed by a Dark Dragon Ball.
Seeing Janemba Buu's power plummet after losing a Dragon Ball had made him forget that detail entirely.
Just as Shulum turned to retrieve that Dragon Ball as well, a shrill laugh rang out.
"Oh ho ho ho! So this is a Dark Dragon Ball? It doesn't look all that special."
Frieza picked up the Dragon Ball with a sinister grin, then looked at Shulum and asked, "You want this? Here..."
"Frieza!"
Broly roared, unable to understand what Frieza was trying to do.
But Lin Chen immediately stopped him and whispered, "Wait a moment."
Shulum frowned too, but seeing nothing unusual about Frieza, he slung his scythe over his back and slowly approached.
At that moment, Frieza's expression suddenly changed. A Death Beam shot from his fingertip straight at Shulum.
"You fool! After humiliating me, Frieza, you still expect to take the Dragon Ball from my hands?"
"Only your blood can repay the humiliation you've inflicted on me!"
Bang!
Shulum flicked his scythe, blocking Frieza's attack.
His expression unchanged, he said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Lin Chen, our agreement is now void. Hand over the Dragon Balls, or I'll kill every last one of you!"
"Fool! You're the one who's going to die!"
In the blink of an eye, Frieza transformed into Platinum Frieza and charged at Shulum.
Shulum licked his lips and swung his scythe. "You alone? I don't think you're enough."
