NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: Powerful
Bom dia pessoas,
[-] My brother thanks everyone who sent him a message, you made his day.
[-] I'M GOING TO RELEASE MY FIRST BOOK! (Only in Portuguese, but next year I plan to release it in English) "Reincarnation Virtue" is an isekai story set in a medieval fantasy world with gender morality reversal. I give more details at the end.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Freeza." Announces one of the emperor's soldiers. "We are entering the atmosphere of Planet Namek."
"Excellent!" Exclaims Freeza in his first horned form. "Land 10 km(6.2 miles) from the highest concentration of Power Levels."
Freeza's mothership began to slowly descend towards the surface of Namek, but within minutes the ship's control panel began to emit a high-pitched sound. The pilot, sweating coldly with worry, turns to his leader.
"Lord Freeza, we are detecting a life form directly in our path."
Freeza, with a cruel smile, approached the control panel.
"A life form? Interesting. Could be a curious Namekian. Or perhaps something relevant."
The pilot adjusted the controls, trying to get a clearer reading.
"It looks like he's... still?" Said the pilot, confused.
Freeza laughed softly.
"Probably paralyzed by the approaching end." Freeza added, returning to his throne. "Prepare your weapons, but don't fire yet. I want to see what this worm is capable of."
The ship continued to descend slowly, approaching the figure of a young human-Saiyan hybrid.
"I hope I'm right." Gohan comments, clenching his fists tightly. "If I'm wrong, I'll have committed a massacre for nothing."
Gohan closed his eyes, as he was at the edge of the planet's atmosphere, so he was able to breathe deeply to concentrateand start gathering his Ki. The aura around him began to grow with an intense white light that looked like an ivory beacon.
Inside the ship, the power reading instruments began to flash uncontrollably. The soldiers looked at each other, confused and scared. The pilot, with shaking hands, tried to adjust the controls, but it was useless. The energy emanating from Gohan was overwhelming the ship's systems.
"What is happening?" Shouted one of the soldiers desperately, looking at Freeza for guidance.
Freeza, with a cruel and curious smile, watched the monitors.
"Interesting." He commented, his eyes shining with a mix of curiosity and malice. "He must be the brat who defeated my special squad."
Outside, Gohan extended his hands forward open, and a small sphere of white light formed.
The power reading instruments began to emit a high-pitched sound, getting louder and louder. The ship's lights flickered, and the other control panel began to spark. The soldiers retreated, fearing the worst.
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the pilot, desperately trying to control the ship. "Systems are overloading!"
The monitors exploded in a shower of sparks and smoke, the power reading instruments unable to withstand the amount of energy Gohan was emitting. Freeza, impassive, continued to watch, his eyes fixed on the shining figure.
Gohan, with his eyes still closed, felt the energy flow through him. The aura around him was now a storm of light, so intense that it seemed capable of consuming everything around him.
Suddenly the sphere of energy begins to shine brighter than the planet's three suns, Gohan opens his eyes and throws the sphere towards the ship, shouting the name of his attack.
"GALAXIAN EXPLOSION!" His voice echoes like thunder through the last layer of atmosphere that allows him to breathe.
The sphere explodes in white light rushing forward, engulfing Freeza's ship in a whirlwind of light. Inside the ship, the crew screamed in despair, feeling imminent death. The pilot, with shaking hands, desperately tried to control the ship, but it was useless. The energy fired by Gohan began to disintegrate the ship.
Panic screams echoed throughout the ship, but Freeza, sitting on his throne, watched everything with a strange smile on his lips. His eyes sparkled with a mixture of curiosity and mischief, as if he was enjoying Gohan's display of power.
The ship began to shake violently, and the soldiers tried in vain to find a way out. The heat from the explosion began to spread, and the ship's metal began to melt. The screams of pain and despair mixed with the sound of disintegrating metal.
"Lord Freeza, we need to get out of here!" shouted one of the soldiers, trying to get closer to the throne.
Freeza just laughed.
"Don't worry." He said with a cruel smile. "You are all replaceable."
Pieces of metal and circuitry flew in all directions as most of the ship was obliterated by the young warrior.
A lucky few managed to escape the ship by flying towards the planet as Gohan's energy blast consumed everything, leaving only debris and ash.
Outside, Gohan watched the destruction with a serious expression. The massacre of so many forms of sentient life didn't weigh so heavily on his conscience because they were a genocidal army that killed so many planets... but the fact that his hypothesis was correct also helped.
[+6,72 M XP]
[CHOOSE NEW ITEM (X 1.375)]
Silver Attribute Bean(+50%)

[CHOOSE NEW ITEM (X 1.375)]
"Damn!" Gohan exclaims in surprise. "I was expecting the items, but this amount of XP is also impressive."
But before he could allow himself a moment of celebration, a cruel laugh emerged from the rubble. Gohan turned quickly, his eyes narrowing in warning.
"Freeza." Gohan muttered, his fists clenching tightly.
The laughter continued to echo through the air, getting louder and more sinister.
"Are you the worm who dares to stand in my way?" Comments Freeza emerging from the smoke in his first form with his horns showing.
Gohan fell silent, his eyes fixed on the figure emerging from the rubble. Cold sweat began to run down his forehead, and he felt a shiver run down his spine. Freeza's presence was intimidating, even in his first form.
The young man could feel his opponent's energy, and despite being in his first form, Freeza was already on the same level as his father in the Super Saiyan form.
"What happened, boy? Are you paralyzed with fear?" Freeza continued, closing his eyes as he savored the monologue he was delivering. "Or perhaps it is the realization that you are faced with someone far beyond your abilities? Abandon any pathetic hope that your puny power can save you."
Slowly the emperor of the universe began to open his eyes, with the aim of reveling in the terror on his adversary's face.
"What are your last words-." But Freeza cuts himself off noticing that he was alone. "Where did he go?" Questions the confused invader. "How did he escape without me noticing?"
DBI:GG
Gohan, using a combination of techniques, had moved during Freeza's arrogant monologue without being noticed.
[Ki Concealment]
[Time Freeze]
'It's a good thing I killed Guldo to secure his cheat time-stopping technique.' Gohan thinks silently, still holding his breath.
In a few minutes Gohan arrives at the place where his friends were, letting out his breath. Krillin, Piccolo and Goku quickly approached, worried.
"What happened? Krillin asked, placing his hand on the young man's shoulder. "We felt the explosion followed by several Ki spreading across the planet, then your Ki disappeared and you reappeared here."
"It's much worse than I thought." Gohan replied, trying to catch his breath. "There's no way to beat him."
The statement left everyone tense and worried.
"You and your father, in Super Saiyan form, make mountains shake when you exchange punches." Krillin declares in a cold sweat. "How can Freeza be stronger?"
According to the calculations in his head, Gohan estimates that the current Freeza was at least five times stronger than Super Perfect Cell.
Desperate, Gohan started shouting orders.
"Gather the Namekians and ask our friends to go defend the villages being attacked by Freeza's forces! Try to evacuate as much as possible to Earth and prepare for a possible invasion!"
"But-." Krillin tried to speak before being cut off.
"We don't have time to argue!" Exclaimed Gohan.
Surprised by Gohan's attitude, Krillin stood there, but Piccolo approached to talk.
"Krillin, trust Gohan." Piccolo said, with a serious expression.
Krillin nodded, still with a doubtful expression, but determined to follow Gohan's instructions.
"I'll do what I can. But what about you, Gohan? What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to face Freeza. I need to buy some time."
Piccolo and Goku looked at Gohan with a mix of pride and concern.
"You won't go alone." Piccolo said, taking a step forward.
"That's right." Goku added, also approaching. "If the three of us fight together we'll buy more time for our friends to escape, who knows, maybe we'll even win." Said the veteran warrior with a hopeful smile.
Gohan is transfixed by his childhood heroes' display of companionship and the possibility of fighting a true battle with them.
"Come on kid, no need to be shocked." Said Goku, with a determined smile. "Those who escape can bring us back with the dragon balls of that Guru guy."
"True…" Gohan comments hopefully. "But I think we need more for the fight."

[INVENTORY]
"And use all the resources at my disposal." Gohan comments, already thinking about how to spend the points. "Is 1.386 divisible by 3?"
DBI:GG
Freeza lands on planet Namekusei. The dust kicked up by the ship still hung in the air, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere as its small, horned form was bathed in the light of three suns. Confident, he walked with firm and determined steps, as if the planet was already his.
When he saw a Namekian he stopped.
"Where is the boy who destroyed my ship and my army?" His voice echoed across the planet, filled with an authority that did not allow for questioning.
In response, the green being gave an ironic smile.
"Gohan was right." Piccolo murmurs while Freeza looks at him curiously. "You are as arrogant as you are easy to distract."
Before the emperor of the universe could question, a pair of hands reach out from the earth beneath him, holding him by the legs.
"NOW GOHAN!" Goku shouts, getting off the ground.
Gohan, who was hiding a kilometer away, between two rocks and his Ki completely hidden, holds his breath, concentrating intensely. Time stopped around him, every speck of dust suspended in the air, every sound frozen. Then he jumped off the rock, darting towards the fight.
As he flew, he felt energy pulsing within him. His body began to glow, a golden aura surrounding him like a living flame. His hair stood up, taking on a golden color. Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan, energy radiating from his body in powerful waves.
The frozen landscape of Namek passed him by in a blur. Bringing his hands to the sides of his body, Gohan felt the strength of his Ki increasing with each second.
'Kame…Hame…' He spoke mentally still with frozen time approaching the battle.
As soon as he was close enough, Gohan took a breath releasing his time stopping technique.
To those who were frozen in time, it seemed as if the young man had simply appeared out of nowhere with a sphere of energy in his hands.
"HAA X100!" He completed the technique by shooting Freeza at close range.
Freeza, still trapped by the surprise of the attack, barely had time to react.
The blast of energy hit Freeza squarely, enveloping him in a blinding light. The Emperor of the Universe is thrown backwards with unbelievable force, his body twisting in the air as the energy pushes him away. Dust and debris scattered in all directions, creating a dense cloud that obscured vision.
Goku watched in surprise as Freeza was thrown back. The Kamehameha's energy continued to push him further and further until he disappeared. The distant sound of the explosion echoed across the planet.
"Gohan, you did it!" Shouted Goku, emerging from the earth with a relieved smile on his face.
Goku hugged Gohan tightly, a smile of relief and pride on his face.
The young man, however, did not share the same enthusiasm. His face was serious, and he pulled away from Goku's embrace.
"He wasn't disintegrated." Gohan said worriedly. "I only managed to push him away."
Goku and Piccolo exchanged worried looks.
"How?" Piccolo asked, the relieved expression quickly disappearing.
"He's still alive." Gohan continued, eyes fixed on the horizon where Freeza had been launched. "I couldn't destroy him. Maybe he's even stronger than I calculated."
Piccolo took a step forward, concern evident on his face.
"That's bad, Goku. If Freeza is still alive, he's going to come back furious."
Gohan looked at the horizon, worry written all over his face. Dust still hung in the air, but something more sinister was beginning to form. Dark clouds gathered in the distance, as if the sky itself was preparing for a confrontation. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt an evil energy growing explosively.
"Crapbaskets." muttered Piccolo, eyes fixed on the approaching clouds.
Goku, alongside Gohan, also felt the change.
Freeza's Ki began to rise, an oppressive presence that seemed to crush the air around them. The evil energy spread like a wave, causing the ground to tremble beneath his feet.
Sensing the imminent battle, Goku brings surge his ki and also transforms into a Super Saiyan like his son.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the horizon, looking like a white and purple meteor flying towards them in its final form.
"Is he different?" Questions Goku.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR STANDING IN MY WAY!" Freeza roars, flying at maximum speed with a purple aura covering his body.
With Freeza dangerously close, Gohan prepared himself, the golden aura around him intensifying, he jumped forward with the intention of receiving the blow directly.
"Lord Camel-." He tried to use his most powerful defensive technique, but he was cut off when Freeza sped up, hitting him squarely in the stomach with two fists. "ARGH!"
Gohan was thrown away, pain exploding in his stomach. He felt the air escape from his lungs as he was launched through the Namekian sky until he hit a rock.
CRASH!
Burying the young man partially in the stone.
While Gohan tried to compose himself, Goku and Piccolo took the chance to attack Freeza.
Goku, with his golden Super Saiyan aura, and Piccolo, with his pulsing green energy, attacked from all angles, trying to find a gap in the tyrant's defense. Freeza, however, didn't seem fazed at all. He moved with lethal grace, blocking and dodging blows with disconcerting ease. His eyes glittered with cold malice as he smiled, seemingly enjoying the fight.
With a direct punch Goku advances, but Freeza dodges with a subtle movement, spinning in the air and hitting his opponent with a quick kick in the stomach. Goku was thrown back, but quickly recovered, returning to attack with a Kamehameha. Freeza, in turn, raised his hand, creating an energy barrier that absorbed the attack with ease.
Piccolo, taking advantage of the distraction, fired a series of energy spheres towards Freeza. The tyrant, however, simply deflected them with a movement of his hand, as if he were swatting flies.
"Is that the best you can do?" Freeza sneered, his voice thick with disdain. "I expected more from great heroes." He said in a sarcastic tone.
Goku frowning increased his speed, launching a series of punches and kicks that forced Freeza to defend himself. Piccolo, at the same time starts focusing his energy into a single point.
When the energy reached its peak Goku received one of Freeza's punches in the stomach, only to hold his arm and turn it towards Piccolo.
"Makankosappo!" Piccolo shouted, firing a beam of energy towards Freeza.
Freeza, however, was unfazed. He simply let go of Goku and extended his hand, receiving the energy beam in his palm, leaving his hand slightly marked.
"Pathetic." Freeza said, turning around just to kick Goku towards Piccolo. "And to think that you are my last obstacles to getting my body back."
Piccolo tries to hold Goku back, but his ally's body came flying very quickly, despite him having cushioned the impact, the two fell to the ground.
With a sadistic smile, the Tyrant fires a sphere of energy towards the warriors. The sphere flew through the air, leaving a trail of purple light in its wake. Goku and Piccolo, still trying to get up, were hit and thrown back by the impact. Their bodies collided with the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Freeza, observing the scene with satisfaction, begins to laugh contentedly, walking with slow and deliberate steps as if savoring every moment. He stopped a few meters away from Goku and Piccolo, who lay on the ground, injured and unable to get up.
"After I eliminate you, getting the dragon balls will be child's play." Freeza began, pointing his finger glowing with a red light towards Goku. "And I'll finally be able to end this hellish game."
Before the tyrant could execute the prone warrior, a small ball of white energy was shot high into the sky, catching everyone's attention.
"What is that?" Freeza questioned Confused.
"An attack?" Piccolo asked.
"It can't be." Murmured Goku, recognizing the power.
The sphere rose quickly, cutting through the air with an intense glow. Freeza stopped, his eyes following the path of the energy ball with curiosity and suspicion.
Gohan, still on the ground, also watched the sphere of energy he had released, hope rising within him.
When the sphere reached an impressive height, it began to expand. The white light spread out, growing larger and larger, until it assumed the size of a small celestial body. The light was so intense that it illuminated the entire sky of Namek, creating a light show that even outshines the planet's three suns.
"A beautiful light show, only it's as useless as you acting as guardians of this planet." Freeza commented, laughing, turning back to his opponents.
TUM-TUM!
A sound echoed throughout the valley, resembling the beating of a drum.
TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM!
When it knocked again, it was clear that it was a sound and a beating heart. As the beat intensified, everyone was able to distinguish where it was coming from.
TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM!
It was from the rubble where Gohan had been thrown.
TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM!
The rhythmic and powerful sound resounded through the air, as if announcing the return of something formidable.
Goku, still on the ground, raised his head, his eyes widening as he realized the source of the sound. Piccolo, at his side, also turned around worried about his former disciple. Freeza, in turn, stopped laughing, his eyes narrowing as he surveyed the rubble suspiciously.
TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM!
"What does that sound mean?" He questioned the tyrant for the first time, feeling fear since the beginning of the fight.
TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM! TUM-TUM!
From the rubble, a figure began to emerge, growing wildly. Gohan felt his body pulse with uncontrollable energy. His muscles contracted and expanded, while intense pain coursed through every fiber of his being.
Gohan's body expanded, his muscles stretching and his veins pulsing with uncontrollable force. Its body began to be covered in shiny golden fur.
His eyes turned wild and bright red, and a primal roar escaped his throat, echoing across the Namek Valley.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
The transformation into golden-furred Oozaru was complete. Gohan, now an imposing and terrifying creature, rose above the rubble, his eyes fixed on Freeza. The golden aura around him shone brightly, and the ground shook beneath his feet.
"What is that?" Freeza murmured, his voice shaking for the first time. "I've never seen that."
Gohan, now an imposing and terrifying creature, made the ground shake beneath his feet. Goku's heart accelerated when he saw his son's transformation. He exchanged a worried look with Piccolo.
"Do you think he's in control?" Piccolo asked with a trembling voice.
Goku frowned, eyes fixed on the gigantic figure.
"I don't know for sure. This transformation is different from the others, it seems that the Super Saiyan power intensified the Oozaru's power."
The great golden Oozaru roared again, the sound echoing across the valley. Freeza, still in his final form, watched with caution. He tried to compose himself, but the Oozaru's presence was overwhelming.
The golden Oozaru quickly disappeared, leaving only a trail of golden light.
Freeza, still surprised, barely had time to react. The Oozaru reappeared behind him, its gigantic leg moving with incredible speed. The kick hit Freeza square in the face, launching him away with unbelievable force.
"He-he." Goku laughs, breathing in relief. "I think it's safe to say he's under control."
