Chapter 119: Love and Kill Part 3
"Kakarot..."
Raditz took a deep breath, forcibly trying to free himself from the rubble, but found no strength left. Gritting his teeth, he could only warn, "Be careful! Frieza... he's a monster."
"I know! Big brother, just rest. Leave Frieza to me," Goku nodded before charging towards Frieza.
Watching Goku rush off, Raditz felt deeply moved.
He didn't know when, but he had developed a profound trust in his younger brother.
Just then, Raditz was surprised when Ginyu suddenly appeared before him.
Ginyu wore an evil grin.
"Hahahaha~! Raditz, you didn't expect this, did you? In the end, you'll die by my hand," Ginyu stood with his hands on his hips, looking like a clown.
Hearing this, Raditz was furious.
He wanted to move, but the severe pain left him immobilized.
He had escaped death by Frieza's hand, only to face death by Ginyu's.
Raditz fell into despair once again.
"Before you die, let me have your body! After all, it's trained to such strength. It would be a shame to destroy it."
"I promise I'll take good care of your body."
As Ginyu spoke, he began to mutilate his own body.
Just to be safe, he had to make himself immobile.
Otherwise, Raditz would gain power after the body swap and become easy prey.
Ginyu's intelligence was evident.
In the original story, he deceived Goku to take his body.
However, this time, his cleverness seemed excessive.
As Ginyu's self-mutilation reached its peak, a sudden noise caught his attention, making him turn around in shock.
"Who are you?" Ginyu barely managed to say three words before feeling a dizzying sensation.
Death came the next moment; he saw his body fall to the ground.
His head was severed.
"Na... Namekian..."
Before dying, Ginyu uttered these words.
There was no doubt that Piccolo was the one who struck.
Earlier, Piccolo had joined Goku to fight, fearing they would be picked off individually if they couldn't entirely block Frieza's attacks.
He worried too much; Goku was much stronger than he thought.
With the Kaio-ken technique, Goku was more potent than Raditz at full power.
"Don't thank me. Saving you is because this battle is far from over!" Piccolo received Raditz's grateful gaze.
Of course, Piccolo didn't care about that.
Remembering the past, when Raditz arrived on Earth, Piccolo had almost killed him twice.
Now, Piccolo saved him.
"This is my last senzu bean. Eat it. With the Saiyan's trait of increasing strength after recovery from severe injuries, your power should rise again." Due to Frieza's overwhelming power, Piccolo offered his last Senzu bean.
Of course, he had no more Senzu beans, but Gohan had some.
With the Senzu bean, Raditz fully recovered in a short time.
Moreover, his power surged once more.
If there were a scouter, it would show his power level reached 1.6 million.
A recovery from severe injuries, though not near death, brought Raditz to this level.
If Raditz used the secret technique of burning his life force, he could at least contend with Frieza's second form.
However, this wasn't his battle.
It was Goku and Frieza's fight.
...
In the sky.
Facing the sudden appearance of Goku, Frieza's face was full of sarcasm.
At this moment, how could he know that this person in front of him would become his lifelong rival, eventually his teammate, and even Goku's top ally?
Without Frieza's energy transfer, Goku would likely have been eliminated during the Tournament of Power.
Of course, this has yet to happen.
And it might not even happen in this world's future.
"Hmph! Wouldn't it be better to hide quietly? You had to come out here to die, you foolish Saiyan monkey." Frieza stared at Goku in front of him, a murderous intent in his eyes.
"Whether I'm here to die or not will only be known after we fight! Frieza, from now on, I'll be your opponent." Goku didn't get angry at Frieza's mockery, staying vigilant and ready.
"You wild monkeys, one after another... I've had enough!!" Ignoring his advice, Frieza didn't hesitate and attacked.
His explosive speed caught Goku entirely off guard.
With a heavy blow to the face, Goku was sent flying dozens of meters away.
Frieza didn't intend to continue playing around; he wanted to finish everyone off as quickly as possible.
Because he needed to make his wish!!!
He would never forget his ultimate goal.
"Damn it! Even with the Kaio-Ken x2, I can't react fast enough? In that case, Kaio-Ken x3!!!" Goku, flying backward, increased the multiplier of his Kaio-Ken.
His power level soared from 2 million to 3 million points, and Goku redirected his charge toward Frieza.
"What?!" Surprised by Goku's sudden power surge, Frieza hesitated momentarily and was sent flying.
Regaining his composure and stabilizing himself, Goku had already dashed up to him.
A fist with immense destructive power swung at him, and Frieza barely managed to defend himself in time.
'Boom!!!!!!!!!!!' The power of that punch was terrifying, even causing spatial ripples.
With his hands in front of him, Frieza resisted Goku's advancing fist with all his might.
Frieza was shocked again.
[This wild monkey's power is even stronger than Raditz's!]
[Damn it, if only I had wholly killed off all these wild monkeys back then, I wouldn't be having this trouble today!!]
Facing Saiyan monkeys, each more potent than the last, Frieza's doubts grew deeper.
Among these people, could there be a Super Saiyan?
'Bang!!!!' While Frieza was distracted, Goku's attack broke through his defense.
A powerful punch landed on Frieza's face, momentarily dazing him.
In the next second, before he could recover, he was met with Goku's relentless attacks.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...' The barrage of punches and kicks swept over Frieza like a storm.
The increasing pain in his body fueled Frieza's rising anger.
'Bang!!! Boom!!!!' Two consecutive muffled sounds.
Goku's fists were locked by Frieza's hands, unable to move forward an inch.
"Damn it!" With his movements restricted, Goku thought things were not looking good.
"Don't get too cocky, you wild monkey!!!" With a furious roar, Frieza burst out with immense power.
The vast force threw Goku flying.
Before Goku, who was flying backward, could regain control of his body, Frieza caught up and delivered a heavy punch to his face, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, smashing through two islands.
With his energy bursting again, Frieza caught up to the flying Goku, clasped his fists together, and delivered a devastating blow.
'Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Goku, who had suffered a heavy blow, fell into the sea like a meteor, causing a splash a thousand meters high.
"It's over, wild monkey!!" To prevent any further complications, Frieza raised his right hand towards the sky, condensing a massive white-purple energy ball.
With a mighty throw, the massive white-purple energy ball tore through the sky, heading straight for Goku.
The destructive power was so terrifying that even Goku, with a power level of 3 million points, felt a sense of imminent danger.
Struggling in the sea, Goku looked at the massive energy ball Frieza had condensed. Not daring to take it lightly, he gathered all his energy to release his ultimate technique.
"Kamehameha!!!" Gathering his ultimate move at the fastest speed, a blue energy beam shot out from Goku's palms.
'Boom!!!!'
Two forces collided, causing a terrifying energy shockwave in the void.
The terrifying aftermath swept in all directions, overturning everything.
The entire Namek shook continuously due to their energy clash.
Everyone watching, including Vegeta, was sweating nervously for Goku.
"Their power has reached an incomprehensible level..." Tien said, unable to calm the shock in his heart as he observed the scene that seemed like the end of the world.
The gap in their strength was now as vast as different dimensions.
"You have to win, Goku!!" Krillin shouted.
"Dad, you're amazing! You can definitely defeat Frieza," Gohan said, his face full of joy.
Chiaotzu and Yamcha also cheered in their ways.
"Kakarot... Could it be that he has also achieved the qualification to become a Super Saiyan?!" The most stimulated was Vegeta, watching the battle from the sidelines.
He was supposed to be the strongest of all Saiyans.
All the Saiyans had gradually surpassed him, and his most substantial title had become the weakest.
On the other side.
[Has Frieza gone all out?] Piccolo had been silent as an observer and had an ominous feeling.
He vaguely sensed that Frieza's true combat power was far beyond what he had shown.
He had already transformed twice; could there be another transformation hidden?
"Kakarot, you've surpassed me again! Triple Kaio-ken... With your current physical strength, using five times Kaio-ken should be more than enough," Raditz commented.
...
On the battlefield.
"You wild monkey!!!!" High in the sky, Frieza increased his energy output again as his attack was blocked.
The white-purple energy sphere further suppressed the Kamehameha wave.
Feeling the pressure on his hands increase, Goku gritted his teeth and focused his mind.
If he got hit by this energy, he'd be seriously injured, if not killed.
The next moment.
"Five times!!! Kaio-ken!!!!" With an angry shout, Goku directly increased the Kaio-ken multiplier.
His combat power surged from three million points to over five million points!
The roaring Kamehameha wave pierced through Frieza's massive energy sphere, heading towards Frieza.
"What?! How is this possible?!!" Frieza was shocked as his attack was neutralized.
Sensing the deadly threat approaching, he immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest, forming a defense.
'Boom~~!!!!!' Frieza's body was completely engulfed, and a massive explosion blossomed in the sky.
Scorching flames spread across the sky, and the destructive aftermath swept in all directions.
The dazzling light in the sky made everyone involuntarily cover their eyes.
The explosion's power lasted for a full thirty seconds before it subsided.
...
"Did it... succeed?" Vegeta, who most wished for Frieza's death, looked up at the explosion in the sky, unable to calm his heart.
He regarded Frieza as a devil, but after another transformation, he became so terrified that Goku suppressed him.
Even if Frieza weren't dead in this massive explosion, he wouldn't be in good shape.
It wasn't until the smoke in the sky dispersed that Frieza's figure reappeared.
"Is that guy a monster?! He survived such an amazing energy explosion?!" Krillin said, his face filled with terror and disbelief.
"Goku's full-powered Kamehameha wave didn't cause him much damage... What a monster...!!" Tien said, his face grim.
All the Z fighters were frightened by this scene.
Frieza's power far exceeded their understanding.
