Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: You've Never Heard of Lord Beerus?

"It seems you still have some self-awareness," Supreme Kai nodded with a smile.

"Then let's spar! We're perfect opponents! This way I can improve my strength as quickly as possible!" Son Goku took a deep breath.

"Kid, you really know how to pick your opponents! You actually want to spar with Supreme Kai-sama? Let me tell you, you're still far from ready! I'm not bragging, but Supreme Kai-sama only needs to glare at you and you'll go flying!" Kibito mocked from the side, sneering continuously.

Supreme Kai's lips curved upward slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Huh? Now that you mention it, you're right," Son Goku nodded thoughtfully. "With my current strength, the gap between me and Supreme Kai-sama is too large."

Son Goku remembered that Supreme Kai's strength seemed roughly comparable to Perfect Cell.

But he wasn't as strong as Super Perfect Cell—nowhere near the level of a Super Saiyan 2.

Many people believed that Supreme Kai's strength was close to Gohan's Super Saiyan 2.

But that actually wasn't the case.

If Supreme Kai's strength truly matched Gohan's Super Saiyan 2, he wouldn't have been unable to pull out the Z Sword, nor would he have feared Dabura, the Demon King.

From this, it could be seen that Supreme Kai's strength was roughly at the level of Perfect Cell.

This was also why Supreme Kai said he could easily eliminate Frieza.

"But... who would be suitable to fight?" Son Goku stroked his chin, deep in thought.

At this moment, Son Goku felt that fighting Supreme Kai would be somewhat beyond his capabilities.

After all, the current gap was still too large.

It would be best to find someone with comparable strength to fight—that way he could better improve his own power.

"I can sense that your current strength isn't even as good as that guy called Frieza," Kibito smiled lightly. "Want to challenge Supreme Kai-sama? Defeat Frieza first!"

"Frieza?" Son Goku was slightly startled, then his eyes immediately lit up.

How could I forget about Frieza?

With my current energy level, fighting Frieza... should allow me to improve my strength faster, right?

Right, Frieza!

It's him!

"Kibito, you're absolutely right. I'm going to find Frieza to fight right now," Son Goku was extremely excited. He pressed his index and middle fingers together, placed them on his forehead, and released his senses to locate Frieza's position.

"Is that the Instant Transmission of the Yardrats?" Supreme Kai couldn't help asking.

"Yes," Son Goku nodded.

"When did you learn Instant Transmission?" Kibito followed up with a question.

"Well... I learned it a long time ago," Son Goku answered, then said somewhat helplessly, "Supreme Kai-sama, Kibito, could you please be quiet? It's easy to get distracted this way, and it's hard to sense Frieza's ki!"

Supreme Kai and Kibito's faces darkened, and they fell silent.

This kid has no manners toward us at all!

Son Goku continued releasing his senses, searching for Frieza's ki throughout the universe.

Ten seconds later.

Son Goku's eyes lit up.

"Found him! Excellent! I'm leaving now, Supreme Kai-sama, and you too, Kibito," Son Goku said, then vanished in a flash.

Supreme Kai and Kibito were speechless.

Did this guy really go find Frieza?

"But this works out well. Having Son Goku deal with Frieza saves us the trouble," Supreme Kai nodded with a smile.

"Yes, over the years we've been focused on Majin Buu and haven't had time to deal with Frieza. That guy has been running rampant in the universe doing evil—he definitely deserves some punishment," Kibito echoed.

"You two idiots don't understand anything!" Old Kai rolled his eyes and scolded the two harshly.

"Why do you say that, Great Elder?" Supreme Kai was puzzled.

"Before Lord Beerus went to sleep, he specifically arranged for Frieza to work for him and destroy planets!" Old Kai sighed. "So I can tell you with certainty that Frieza is essentially Lord Beerus's representative!"

"Lord Beerus? Who's that?" Supreme Kai was startled, looking completely confused.

"You... you don't even know who Lord Beerus is?" Old Kai's eyes widened as he looked at Supreme Kai like he was an idiot.

"I've never heard of him!" Supreme Kai shook his head.

"Great Elder, I've never heard of Lord Beerus either," Kibito chimed in.

Old Kai didn't want to talk anymore.

How can these two be so stupid?

"You should spend more time reading... instead of doing meaningless things!" Old Kai huffed in frustration.

He paused.

"Also, stop worrying about that Majin Buu character. Leave that matter to Goku—I'm sure he can defeat Majin Buu," Old Kai added.

Supreme Kai and Kibito were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

That Son Goku who can't even beat us is supposed to defeat Majin Buu?

Great Elder, are you joking?

...

Frieza Planet 79.

After Vegeta and Nappa descended on Earth, all the conversations between them and Son Goku were clearly heard through the scouters by Frieza's forces.

At this moment, Frieza sat in his hover pod, showing a smile, his tail swaying gently behind him.

"Ohohoho! Dragon Balls? They can grant any wish?" Frieza's smile grew even brighter.

"Lord Frieza, according to the intelligence from the scene, the Dragon Balls need one year to recharge after being used once," Zarbon stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Frieza. "Even if we go to Earth now, we probably won't be able to make a wish, will we?"

"It seems that wish was used to revive someone named Son Goku," Dodoria nodded from the side, gritting his teeth with some displeasure. "Damn it, what a waste—just to revive some useless person!"

"Of course I know that!" Frieza smiled lightly. "But who said I'm going to Earth?"

"Not going to Earth?" Zarbon was startled.

"Didn't Vegeta and Nappa say so?" Frieza chuckled. "The one who created the Dragon Balls should be a Namekian. Since Earth has Dragon Balls, then Namek must have Dragon Balls too!"

"As expected of Lord Frieza!"

Zarbon and Dodoria immediately began flattering him.

"Prepare to depart immediately for Namek to find the Dragon Balls!" Frieza made the decision without hesitation and issued the command.

"Yes, Lord Frieza!"

Zarbon and Dodoria bowed again.

"By the way, how long will it take to get from here to Namek?" Frieza turned to ask Dodoria beside him.

"Reporting to Lord Frieza, approximately fourteen days!" Dodoria replied.

"Fourteen days, is it?" Frieza's smile grew even brighter as he let out strange laughter. "In just fourteen days, Frieza's wish will come true! Ohohohoho!"

"Lord Frieza, what kind of wish do you want to grant?" Zarbon asked curiously.

"I, Frieza, naturally want an immortal body!" Frieza smiled lightly.
