On Planet Namek.
The clouds were swirled into a spiral shape.
Frieza's ever-rising aura finally began to subside.
He stretched out his arms, raised his neck, brought his legs together, slightly stood on his tiptoes, and arched his whole body slightly backward.
That posture seemed to be welcoming some kind of sacred baptism.
On the other side, Jass's body also underwent a drastic change.
"Ugh... Ahhh!"
He suddenly knelt down, his hands gripping the ground tightly, the hard rock shattering inch by inch under his fingertips.
An unprecedented pain exploded from the depths of every cell in his body, tearing his nerves apart.
This is different from any previous power boost brought about by an opponent becoming stronger.
This promotion was accompanied by indescribable pain, as if it were tearing him apart.
Jass's body trembled violently, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulged wildly like twisted earthworms.
"Click... click click..."
Muscle fibers are repeatedly stretched in a cycle of tearing and regeneration, and each movement brings a sharp pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
"Aaaaaahh...
Jass could no longer hold back and let out a scream of extreme pain.
On the cliff, Elec keenly noticed Jass's unusual behavior, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
The wishes granted by Dragon Ball ultimately have their limits.
To make Jass the "strongest in the universe," this "strongest" is a relative term.
Once the opponent's power exceeds the conversion limit that Jass's own life force can withstand, this forced power increase will become a fatal overdraft...
"Strength!"
"I want power!"
Amidst the excruciating pain, Jass's consciousness became exceptionally clear, and an even more frenzied obsession sustained him from being completely consumed by the agony.
"As long as we can win!"
"As long as we can defeat all the enemies before us!"
"This little bit of pain... is nothing!"
He roared inwardly, his extreme thirst for power overwhelming his body's instinctive will to survive.
As his will erupted, the power within him did not dissipate due to the pain; instead, it began to expand in an even more ferocious manner!
Visibly, his physique had grown even larger, his muscles bulging so much that his combat suit was almost torn apart.
The dark green aura that had surrounded him was now mixed with wisps of ominous blood red, making it appear eerie and violent.
Even more alarming was that his once jet-black short hair was rapidly turning gray from the roots down to the tip, a process that was clearly visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, an indescribable burst of pure white light erupted from Frieza's body!
The light engulfed Frieza.
Whether it was Son Goku and Piccolo in the distance, Elec whose expression changed drastically on the cliff, or Jass facing the storm head-on, everyone's vision was gradually being devoured by this white light.
Son Goku's eyes widened, his Battle Suit fluttering under the pressure of the energies. He felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain, making it incredibly difficult to breathe.
"What... what is this...?"
Just then, the bright white light began to shake violently.
Immediately afterward, starting from beneath Frieza's feet, the pure white light, like a fragile piece of glass, began to shatter!
"Click... click..."
Fine cracks spread rapidly, and fragments of pure white light peeled off and dissipated from his body.
Where the intense light shone, Frieza's body was completely enveloped in a cold, smooth, metallic silver-white layer.
The light finally faded completely.
A completely new figure, exuding an aura of death and annihilation, appeared before everyone.
His physique remained unchanged, still petite, well-proportioned, and elegant.
He gracefully rotated his wrist, feeling the surging power within him almost overflowing, and a cruel yet satisfied smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"Hehehehe..."
"Did you see that clearly?"
"The true strongest in the universe!"
"That's it!"
Frieza's arms were slightly outstretched, palms facing forward.
" Silver Frieza!"
He tilted his head slightly upwards.
"You're lucky to have witnessed such a perfect pose before you die."
"But there's nothing I can do about it. As an emperor, I have that much magnanimity."
"Oh dear, I'm so kind..."
Frieza smiled and shook her head.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jass again.
At this moment, Jass gradually recovered from the torment of pain.
Upon seeing this, Frieza's familiar, flippant smile reappeared on his face.
"What's wrong?"
You don't look too well.
"Could it be that you were scared by my current appearance?"
He even pretended to agree, covering his mouth and letting out a crisp, light laugh.
"To be honest, I was actually quite startled when I first turned into this... Hehehehe..."
However, before the laughter could subside...
Frieza's gaze suddenly turned sharp and cold.
"But!"
"Don't be too afraid."
"Anyway, we're all going to die eventually!"
The silvery figure vanished in an instant.
Jass's pupils constricted, and his body tensed!
His beast-like fighting instincts left him no time to think; he abruptly crossed his arms, tightly protecting his chest.
Frieza's fist appeared in his pupils.
"Boom--!!!!!"
With a terrifying sonic boom loud enough to rip eardrums, Jass's body, which had swelled up once again, was sent flying backward like a meteorite!
It dragged a bottomless ravine into the earth, and the dust waves it stirred up blotted out the sky.
The terrifying impact carried him, smashing through several towering, cloud-piercing mountains along the way.
Elec, standing on the cliff, suddenly felt his legs buckle.
How could this be!
Was he sent flying with just one punch?
"Heh... heh..."
With heavy breathing, a figure staggered to his feet from the ruins.
But the astonishment in his eyes had been replaced by madness.
"Stronger... I can become even stronger!"
He clenched his fists tightly!
A massive burst of energy erupted from his body, materializing into two enormous energy spears that shimmered with a blood-green light!
"Kill... I'll kill you!"
With a sudden burst of power from Jass legs, the ground beneath his feet shattered!
His entire body transformed into a streak of blood-green light, actively heading towards the silver-white figure in mid-air!
Two enormous energy spears, swung in a crisscrossing motion, hurtled straight at Frieza!
It was all bark and no bite.
Frieza reached out!
Two fingers covered in silvery-white flames, seemingly slow but actually as fast as lightning, pinched the tips of the two spears with unparalleled precision!
"Snap--!"
A crisp sound.
Those two seemingly indestructible energy spears shattered inch by inch, starting from their tips, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the air.
Jass's pupils dilated in shock!
Ignoring the shattering of his spear, he used the slight recoil to twist his body in mid-air and retaliate with a split kick.
Frieza smiled and casually raised his arm.
"Sharp!"
" Piccolo!"
"That guy seems to be suppressed!" Son Goku said excitedly.
It was as if they could see the dawn of victory.
