"Bang!"
Frieza moved swiftly, landing a heavy elbow strike directly on Son Goku's nose.
Son Goku nearly fell to the ground, rubbing his bleeding nose.
"Hey!"
Frieza executed a flashy sweep kick, knocking Son Goku to the ground.
Immediately after, Frieza wrapped his tail around Son Goku's neck.
"Bang!"
Frieza delivered another elbow strike, a heavy blow to Son Goku's chest.
Son Goku cried out in pain.
The next moment, Son Goku immediately counterattacked.
"Snap!"
Frieza leaped lightly, evading a kick from Son Goku.
"Hey!"
Son Goku's entire body erupted with even more powerful energy, unleashing the Kaio-ken.
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku transformed into a streak of light, whistling towards Frieza's location.
Frieza's expression remained calm as he kicked backward forcefully, landing a kick on Son Goku's face.
Son Goku was once again knocked to the ground.
"Snap!"
However, immediately after, Son Goku sprang back to his feet with a flip, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Huff huff huff..."
Son Goku gasped for breath.
"You're finally panting. Consider yourself lucky you weren't killed," Frieza said with a smile.
Krillin: "..."
Gohan: "..."
Piccolo: "..."
The faces of the three changed drastically.
"Hey!"
Frieza landed another heavy blow, hitting Son Goku squarely in the face.
Son Goku was sent flying backward.
"Whoosh!"
Frieza swiftly pursued him.
Son Goku gritted his teeth and immediately shot upwards.
Frieza quickly followed.
"Not good!" Son Goku's face flickered with alarm.
However, just as Frieza was about to reach Son Goku, he brought his index and middle fingers together, a flame condensing at their tips.
Frieza waved his hand gently, and the flame struck the ground directly in front of Son Goku.
A long trench, stretching as far as the eye could see, was gouged into the earth.
Son Goku was stunned.
"Such incredible power..." Son Goku marveled.
"Hmph, let's end this boring game soon. Have Vegeta send me back," Frieza sneered. "If I wanted to, I could destroy this planet with ease."
Son Goku: "..."
"You really are a villain," Son Goku said.
"Hmph hmph hmph, say whatever you like. But don't worry, I won't kill you immediately. My anger hasn't subsided yet," Frieza hummed.
"Is that so... I've also trained hard and achieved new improvements!" Son Goku took a deep breath.
"Oh? I thought you were going to say something else! No matter how much you improve, you'll never be my match, Frieza!" Frieza burst into laughter. "Among Saiyans, aside from that freak Vegeta, the rest of you are nothing! I'm not looking down on you; you're just weak."
"You're mistaken. I've met Broly and Reeg, and they are very powerful," Son Goku said.
Frieza: "..."
Frieza decided to stop talking.
He would find an opportunity to deal with those two later.
"Alright, it's time for me to get serious," Son Goku took another deep breath. "If I still can't defeat you after this... I'll admit defeat!"
"You haven't gotten serious yet? You boastful fool, do all Saiyans like to brag?" Frieza chuckled.
"This transformation I'm about to use has a very short duration, only about 30 seconds at most. So, you should be careful," Son Goku said.
"Hahaha, nonsense! What use is a 30-second transformation?" Frieza guffawed.
"Snap!"
Flames suddenly ignited around Son Goku.
Instantly, Son Goku's hair turned fiery red.
Frieza's eyes widened, and his smile gradually froze.
What was this transformation?
Krillin and the others in the distance were also stunned when they saw Son Goku's transformation.
"What's going on?" Krillin stammered.
"What kind of transformation is this?" Piccolo asked in astonishment.
"Dad, what... what happened to him?" Gohan was completely bewildered.
"Did you guys notice? Goku's ki has completely disappeared!" Krillin suddenly realized.
"Indeed... there's no ki at all! No, it's ki that we can't sense!" Piccolo said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that Goku has become like Vegeta, a god? Is this divine power?" Krillin scratched his head.
"This... what kind of transformation is this? Aside from that freak Vegeta, Saiyans can only turn into Oozaru!" Frieza was shocked.
"I don't know what this transformation is called..." Son Goku shook his head. "For me, it's like unlocking a new realm."
"You... what did you say?" Frieza frowned.
"You better be careful! I'm going to attack!" Son Goku said, clenching his right fist and throwing a punch at Frieza from a distance.
"Bang!"
The punch, compressed by the air, struck Frieza directly in the chest.
Frieza was hit before he could even react.
With a dull thud, Frieza's chest caved in deeply.
"Aow..."
Frieza cried out in pain, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood and on the verge of death.
"Uh... are you... are you okay?" Son Goku was taken aback and quickly flew forward, appearing beside Frieza.
"You... you... you beast!" Frieza continued to spew blood, his face extremely pale.
"I'm truly sorry. I told you this transformation was powerful... I didn't mean to kill you... Can you hold on? I'll see if Vegeta can come and rescue you," Son Goku said hastily.
"Argh..."
Frieza was severely injured and let out a scream. His head lolled to the side, and he lost consciousness.
Son Goku: "..."
"Hey, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to," Son Goku apologized quickly.
"Snap!"
At the same time, the flames around Son Goku dissipated.
Krillin was stunned.
Piccolo's eyes widened.
Gohan was both surprised and delighted.
The three quickly flew over from a distance.
"Dad!" Gohan rushed into Son Goku's arms.
"Gohan, you've grown," Son Goku chuckled.
"Goku, you were amazing!" Krillin exclaimed. "What was that transformation just now? How was it so strong?"
"I don't know what that transformation is called either... I'll ask Vegeta when I have the chance. Vegeta should know," Son Goku replied.
"Snap!"
As they were speaking, Vegeta descended from the sky and landed beside Son Goku.
