Across the countless dimensions of the Myriad Worlds, viewers watched with bated breath, their hearts stirred by the bizarre and complex dynamic between Son Goku and Frieza. While many felt a sense of awe, there was an underlying current of envy among the various heroes of the multiverse.
Many of them lamented that the villains they faced possessed all of Frieza's cold-blooded malice but none of his wicked charm. They wondered if their own enemies could ever learn from the Galactic Emperorāperhaps then, even the most bitter rivals could find a path to reconciliation.
In the higher realms, Lord Beerus watched the broadcast with a rare look of approval. Frieza had always been nothing more than a distasteful tool in his eyes, a convenient pawn used to keep the Saiyans in check. Even the previous records of Frieza's exploits hadn't moved the God of Destruction's opinion, but this footage was different.
Whether it was the calculated elimination of Frost or this unexpected aid to Son Goku, Frieza was proving his worth. Beerus found himself begrudgingly taking a liking to the tyrant, hoping only that the Emperor wouldn't revert to his old, troublesome ways. If Frieza continued on this trajectory, his standing in the divine eyes of Beerus would surely skyrocket.
Meanwhile, Frieza himself sat in stunned silence, ignoring the chaotic comments flooding the dimensional chat. He was reeling from the images on the screen, his face twisted in a mask of pure disbelief. He had anticipated a video showcasing his ultimate triumph over Son Goku, and for a moment, it seemed his wish was coming true.
Yet, the narrative took a sharp, humiliating turn. Instead of delivering a finishing blow to a weakened rival, he had extended a helping hand. To Frieza, this was an unforgivable stain on his pride.
Goku was the man who had shattered his reign, humiliated him on Namek, and ultimately caused his death. No grudge against Vegeta or even Future Trunks could compare to the burning hatred he held for the Earth-raised Saiyan.
"Betrayal! This is nothing short of self-betrayal!" Frieza hissed through gritted teeth, his claws digging into his throne. He viewed his future self's actions as a mockery of the Frieza Force and his own imperial legacy. The idea that he was repaying a favor because Goku once shared Ki with him was preposterous.
To a conqueror like him, mercy was the ultimate insult. He swore that if the Tournament of Power ever became a reality, he would never lower himself to assist that Saiyan. Yet, deep down, a flicker of unease took root. He couldn't help but wonder if his future self would end up saving Goku yet again.
Back in the video, the scene shifted. Having absorbed the Ki Frieza provided, Goku managed to pull himself from the brink of exhaustion. Though far from his peak, he stood his ground against the two female Saiyans of Universe 6: Caulifla and Kale. Caulifla, ever hungry for power, relentlessly pursued Goku, demanding he teach her the secrets of higher transformations.
Because his Ki reserves were still dangerously low, Goku remained in his base form, relying entirely on his decades of master-level martial arts experience. He dodged and parried with such fluid precision that it seemed as though he wasn't just fighting; he was using the rhythm of the battle to facilitate his own recovery.
For Goku, the skirmish wasn't a draināit was a form of active meditation that allowed his stamina to replenish faster than he could spend it.
On Planet Sadala in Universe 6, the air was shattered by a series of violent sonic booms. Caulifla was in a frenzy, venting her frustration by obliterating the surrounding landscape. Seeing the video evidence that her best efforts were being used as a mere "stamina recharge" for a weakened Goku was a crushing blow to her ego.
However, amidst her anger, there was a spark of intense excitement. The realization that the legendary Super Saiyan transformations weren't exclusive to Universe 7 changed everything. It meant that she and Kale weren't limited by their bloodlineāonly by their current training and methodology.
"That damn Son Goku," Caulifla growled, her eyes burning with ambition. "Once I master those forms, I'll show him what a real Saiyan can do!" She recognized the terrifying gap in their base power, acknowledging that even in his depleted state, Goku's raw combat intuition was leagues beyond theirs. But with Hit eliminated, the weight of Universe 6 now rested on their shoulders. She knew they were the only hope left to secure their survival.
The footage continued to escalate. Having recovered enough Ki through his tactical sparring, Goku let out a sharp shout as his hair lengthened and his eyebrows vanished. He surged directly into the Super Saiyan 3 state.
He didn't do this to crush his opponents, but to provide a vivid demonstration for Caulifla to follow. He had already guided her toward Super Saiyan 2, and now he was pushing her toward the next threshold. In this ascended form, the power gap became an abyss.
Goku effortlessly overwhelmed Caulifla, his every movement a blur of golden light. Seeing her sister suppressed and in trouble, Kale felt the familiar, volatile heat rising in her chest. Her power began to flare uncontrollably once more, the emerald aura of the Berserk state beginning to bleed into reality.
Akira, watching the screen with the analytical mind of a seasoned transmigrator, noted every shift in the power scaling. He could see how Goku was playing a high-stakes game of tactical management, turning a desperate survival situation into a training ground.
Beside him, Tien Shinhan remained stoic, his three eyes locked onto the screen as he felt the sheer pressure of the Ki radiating even through the visual transmission. The shock felt across the dimensions was palpable as the viewers realized the "collateral damage" humans of the lower worlds were watching the birth of God-tier entities.
