"You should watch carefully... I feel Frieza's strength hasn't increased by just a little bit," Old Kai said in a low voice.
Supreme Kai leaned over to look but couldn't make sense of it, constantly scratching his head with an awkward expression.
Krillin, Gohan, and the others also focused their gazes on the crystal ball, looking toward Son Goku and Frieza, sweating nervously for Son Goku.
Can Goku really defeat that Emperor of the Universe called Frieza?
That Emperor of the Universe Frieza is absolutely terrifying!
We were too naive!
We thought that after training at King Kai-sama's place for a few days, we'd already gained powerful strength.
Only now do we realize what it means to have higher heavens above and stronger people beyond.
Krillin and the others hung their heads in shame, all falling silent.
...
Namek.
While Frieza was chatting idly with Piccolo, Son Goku returned to Namek once more through Instant Transmission.
Frieza wasn't in a hurry to eliminate Piccolo—he just looked at Son Goku with interest.
Because Frieza believed Son Goku would definitely return.
With his personality, he absolutely couldn't abandon his companions.
If I just eliminate this Namekian like this, how can I have fun afterward?
I want to torture Son Goku until he breaks down, then eliminate his companions one by one right in front of him.
If he's not here to watch such a wonderful scene, what a shame that would be!
"Son Goku! You've gotten quite a bit stronger!" Frieza smiled lightly, squinting as he gazed at Son Goku.
"Frieza, you're not simple either! In just one month, your ki has risen to this level," Son Goku sighed with emotion, feeling somewhat inexplicably excited inside.
After saying this, Son Goku looked somewhat worriedly at Piccolo beside him.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Namekian right now. I'm more curious about how you became so strong," Frieza asked with a smile.
Son Goku smiled but didn't answer the question.
"Could it be that you trained with that guy called Whis who's beside Lord Beerus?" Frieza couldn't help swallowing and asked cautiously.
If that's true, and I kill Son Goku now, will Lord Beerus cause trouble for me?
I, Frieza, vaguely remember that in my previous life, I had already destroyed Earth.
Both Son Goku and Vegeta should have died in the planet's explosion.
But for some reason, I feel like I had a dream.
Then in the blink of an eye, I was back before the planet exploded.
This is rather strange.
Frieza became increasingly certain that perhaps Lord Beerus was secretly manipulating things and had saved Son Goku.
"Whis?" Son Goku was startled and shook his head, answering honestly. "I don't know him. Who is this person you're talking about?"
"What about Lord Beerus?" Frieza asked again.
"I've heard of Lord Beerus, but I've never met him," Son Goku replied. "I heard he's very strong!"
"You've never met Lord Beerus, yet you raised your strength to this level—you really are remarkable, Son Goku!" Frieza's smile grew brighter as he gave Son Goku a thumbs up.
"The feeling's mutual—you're the same," Son Goku smiled slightly.
"Zarbon, Dodoria, you don't need to stay here anymore. Go search this planet for Dragon Balls," Frieza instructed Zarbon, Dodoria, and the others.
Zarbon: "..."
Dodoria: "..."
Since we arrived on this planet, besides here, we haven't found any battle power responses anywhere else.
How are we supposed to search for Dragon Balls?
"What? Is there a problem?" Frieza squinted at the two of them.
"No! Of course there's no problem!"
Zarbon and Dodoria immediately bowed respectfully.
Right now, both of them couldn't wait to leave.
The person before them was a Super Saiyan!
He spared us on Planet 79 back then.
We'd better not anger him.
However, it seems Lord Frieza has suddenly gotten stronger!
Before, he was beaten helpless by this Super Saiyan.
Son Goku also glanced toward Zarbon and Dodoria, his face showing little expression.
Zarbon and Dodoria were quite frightened, their mouths twitching, then they quickly retreated with their subordinates.
Son Goku didn't stop Zarbon and Dodoria's actions.
Because Son Goku knew clearly that there were no other people left on this planet.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happened, the Dragon Balls would automatically go to the Sacred World of the Kai along with the Namekians.
Besides, even if the Dragon Balls remained on Namek, these people didn't know Namekian—even if they found the Dragon Balls, they couldn't make a wish.
They probably don't even know how to summon the Dragon, right?
"Piccolo, you should stand farther away too!" Son Goku called to Piccolo without turning his head.
Piccolo felt somewhat uncomfortable.
I should stand farther away?
So the aftershock of your battle can hurt me?
However, although Piccolo grumbled inwardly, he still flew backward some distance to avoid being affected.
"Let's begin, Frieza," Son Goku said with a smile. "I want to see what level you've trained to in one month."
"Interesting," Frieza's smile grew brighter. He clenched his fists tightly, his ki exploding wildly.
"Rumble!"
Vast energy spread outward with Frieza at the center.
Feeling the powerful energy emanating from Frieza, Son Goku was truly shocked.
Frieza really is a genius!
In just one month, the energy level of his first form has become comparable to his previous fourth form.
Son Goku was truly excited, looking at the current Frieza with an animated expression.
"Hmhmhm!" Frieza's lips curved upward, a smile appearing.
My current energy level is already comparable to my previous fourth form.
If I had to convert it to battle power, it's currently at least 120 million.
With such powerful battle power, I might accidentally kill Son Goku if I'm not careful.
Worth mentioning: Frieza couldn't sense an opponent's ki intensity.
So no matter how high Son Goku raised his ki, Frieza wouldn't know how strong he was unless he tested it personally.
"I accidentally raised my power a bit too much—should I lower it slightly?" Frieza looked at Son Goku with a smile.
"No need!" Son Goku shook his head.
"You're quite confident, Son Goku!" Frieza snorted coldly. "Do you know how strong I am now! Although I'm only in my first form, my strength has already reached the level of my previous fourth form!"
"Frieza, I advise you to bring out your final form, otherwise you won't be my match!" Son Goku said calmly.
"Hmph, what nonsense! You're about to experience what despair truly feels like!" Frieza sneered contemptuously and immediately charged toward Son Goku, throwing a powerful punch at him.
