BOOM!
Another devastating punch slammed into Frieza's face, distorting his features and sending him hurtling backward. He barely managed to stop himself mid-air.
This was the void of space—a desolate expanse far from any planet, with nothing but the occasional drifting debris as footing.
"Cough… H-How…?!"
This was already Frieza's third failed assault. After his first transformation, his power and speed had increased dramatically—so much so that he was even struggling to control it.
Yet, every single one of his attacks was effortlessly dodged by Zuke, who would then casually counter with a punch to his face—[each one heavier than the last].
Worse, Frieza could feel it—every strike grew more brutal, leaving increasingly severe injuries. This meant Zuke wasn't even using his full strength!
"Frieza, let me make this clear—in your current state, I could erase you with a single finger."
Zuke's figure blurred across the distance, appearing right in front of the battered Frieza, his eyes cold and unamused.
Frieza's first transformation only pushed his power level to over 1,000,000—a far cry from Zuke's 30,000,000+, a gap so vast it was almost laughable.
If Zuke's goal was simply to kill Frieza, he could've done so the moment he arrived, before Frieza even had the chance to unleash his full power.
But he couldn't.
That wouldn't fulfill the Main Mission's requirements.
[Current World: (Dragon Ball)]
[Main Mission: Eliminate Frieza at 100% Power]
[Player "Zuke's" Synchronized Strength: 30%]
[Please proceed with the main mission to unlock further rewards.]
The mission demanded Frieza's complete annihilation at his absolute peak—meaning Zuke had to let him reach his final form and fully unleash his power.
Otherwise, Zuke wouldn't have bothered with this drawn-out battle. He could've killed Frieza in his first form the moment he set foot on Planet Saiyan.
"I don't know if you noticed, but Planet Saiya's large-scale scouters… broke after scanning my power level."
Zuke's voice was icy, laced with killing intent.
"That should give you an idea of where we stand."
"This is your last chance. Next time, no matter what form you take, I'll wipe you out for good."
Of course, even if Frieza still refused to transform further, Zuke wouldn't actually kill him yet—the mission came first.
But a little intimidation to force Frieza into his final form? That was fair game.
Zuke had no interest in playing Frieza's transformation games. He just wanted this over with.
"The large-scale scouter… broke?"
Frieza's mind reeled. That device had an upper limit of 30,000,000. If it shattered… did that mean Zuke's power exceeded that?!
His eyes locked onto Zuke, suspicion gnawing at him.
"You… don't tell me you're the legendary… Super Saiyan?"
Like most Saiyans, Frieza had never seen a true Super Saiyan. But hearing Zuke's overwhelming strength, he couldn't help but jump to that conclusion.
Zuke didn't bother answering. He just kept staring, cold and silent.
Frieza gritted his teeth, realization dawning.
"Fine. I don't know how you knew about my final form, or how you gained this power… but if you want to see it so badly—
"THEN HAVE A LOOK AT MY TRUE SELF!"
With a roar, Frieza's body began convulsing—a monstrous energy erupted from him, so intense that even the floating debris around them trembled violently.

Meanwhile, on Planet Saiya…
The battlefield was a one-sided slaughter.
The Saiyan Great Apes, with their tenfold power increase, had completely overwhelmed Frieza's forces—even with their reduced rationality, their sheer strength was unstoppable.
Some had tried destroying the artificial moon again, but without fail, their attempts were blocked by an invisible force—"Blackbird Requiem", an unseen barrier.
Others attempted to cut the Apes' tails, but the power gap was too vast. Even in their berserk state, the Apes instinctively protected their weak points.
Only a few unlucky Saiyans were caught off-guard, reverting to their human forms—but their impact was negligible.
CRACK!
Dodoria, locked in combat with Great Ape Vegeta, let out a strangled cry as the massive hand crushed him like a vice.
Even in his transformed state (boasting a power level of 50,000), Dodoria was no match for Vegeta's 100,000+ strength.
"Guh… D-Damn it!"
His grotesque, mutated face twisted in pain as he felt his bones creaking under the pressure.
"V-Vegeta! I know it's you! Your father was killed by Zuke, wasn't he?! And yet you still fight for him?!"
Before landing, Frieza's forces had theorized that King Vegeta had likely been assassinated by a rebel—and after seeing Zuke, Dodoria had pieced it together.
"Hmph. Saiyans are a race that values strength above all. Only the weak cling to titles like 'Prince'."
Unlike most Great Apes, Vegeta retained near-perfect speech and reasoning—whether due to his royal bloodline or rigorous training.
The death of his father meant nothing to him. If he wanted to prove himself as the strongest Saiyan, he'd do it through power, not inheritance.
"Instead of mustering your strength in your final moments, you waste breath on pleas. Pathetic."
With a final squeeze, Dodoria's scream cut off as he fell unconscious from sheer agony.
But just as Vegeta prepared to finish him—
A wave of overwhelming evil energy exploded in the sky.
Every fighter on Planet Saiyan froze, their instincts screaming at the sheer malice radiating from above.
"That's… Frieza?!"
Vegeta's expression darkened. While he held no love for Zuke, he loathed Frieza far more—the tyrant who had oppressed the Saiyans for decades.
And now…
That monster's power had surged to unimaginable heights.
