Normally, Frieza would indeed be furious.
After all, what he hated the most was when his subordinates failed to complete their missions and returned.
But something like this happening at this moment actually made him find it very interesting.
Especially when he saw that angry face, Frieza inexplicably felt excited.
“So, there is actually someone amazing among these Saiyan monkeys. Interesting! Send the soldiers to meet him,” Frieza ordered with a mocking tone.
“Yes, Lord Frieza!”
“At once, Lord Frieza.”
Dodoria and Zarbon immediately took action and passed down the orders.
Not long after, the spaceship’s hatch opened, and the elite soldiers of Frieza Corps swarmed toward Bardock.
The ensuing battle not only upended everyone’s understanding, shocking Zarbon and Dodoria, but also unexpectedly thrilled Frieza.
Who would have thought that a mere low-class Saiyan monkey could unleash such immense power?
Especially with Bardock’s astounding power level, which was far beyond that of King Vegeta and those so-called elite warriors.
Hundreds of elite soldiers with power levels close to or even above 10,000 were easily annihilated by Bardock.
Zarbon and Dodoria were stunned. Is that really the same, weak Saiyan they remembered?
Especially Dodoria, who began to question his own life.
After all, on Planet Meat, this guy was just an ant he could toy with at will.
But now, Bardock’s strength has surpassed his own.
“Zarbon, open the spaceship. I want to personally meet this Saiyan,” Frieza’s expression changed subtly.
“Yes, my lord.” Zarbon quickly nodded and led Frieza to the top hatch.
Dodoria stood there, trembling, not daring to speak.
…
Outside the spaceship.
Bardock charged forward bravely, and after a short while, he had already rushed close to Frieza’s flagship.
Even though he was in outer space, outside the atmosphere, Bardock could still maneuver briefly in space, protected by his own energy.
In fact, as long as one’s power level has reached several thousand or higher, this could be done easily.
“Frieza! Get out here!”
A shout accompanied by energy surged toward the spaceship as Bardock became increasingly frenzied.
Even though he was being hindered by a dozen soldiers at this moment, he remained fearless!
The hatch at the top of the spaceship opened, and Frieza, sitting in his hover pod, slowly appeared. All the elite soldiers of the Frieza Force stopped their actions at once, looking toward the Universal Emperor!
Frieza’s expression was mocking, his gaze sharp, and his entire body exuded a murderous aura.
“Saiyan, I quite admire your skills. Your king and those so-called elites are nothing compared to you.”
“It’s a pity you’re a Saiyan. Otherwise, I would have gladly welcomed you to join me.”
Despite his appreciation for Bardock, Frieza’s tone was still full of mockery.
All Saiyan monkeys must die!
Especially this one in front of him—the more Frieza liked him, the more he had to die, because Bardock made him realize that the potential of Saiyans was indeed unfathomable.
“Why?! We Saiyans have always followed your orders, helping you conquer various planets! Why must you eradicate us all?!” Bardock raged, demanding an answer.
Upon hearing this, Frieza remained unmoved, but the elite soldiers around him were already terrified.
No one had ever dared to speak to Lord Frieza like that.
“It’s because you Saiyans don’t know your place!” Frieza’s cold words reached Bardock’s ears.
The next second, Frieza no longer hesitated. A bloody red light flashed at the tip of his right index finger, and a tiny, rice-sized red energy sphere appeared.
“Damn it! I will never forgive you!!!”
Rage caused Bardock’s strength to increase again. Vaguely, it seemed like he had touched upon a barrier, and there’s even hope of breaking it.
Energy continued to gather in the palm of his right hand. A white light flashed as powerful energy formed. Once it was fully shaped, Bardock raised his hand and threw this energy ball, filled with his fury.
“Everything will change, the fate of Planet Vegeta… my fate… the fate of the Saiyan race!!”
“Oh ho ho ho ho~!!” Frieza’s mocking laughter grew even more pronounced, as if he had heard Bardock’s foolish statement.
The crimson energy sphere at the tip of his index finger rapidly expanded.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters…
It completely absorbed Bardock’s attack, swallowing it whole. The energy sphere continued to grow, its power rapidly increasing.
“W-what?!” Seeing his attack have no effect, all of Bardock’s hopes were shattered.
With a flick of his finger, Frieza sent the Death Ball hurtling downward.
It swept everything in its path, even taking with it many of Frieza’s elite soldiers who didn’t have time to escape.
In front of him was the massive energy sphere with the power to destroy everything.
Behind him was Planet Vegeta.
With nowhere left to retreat, Bardock had no choice but to face it head-on.
“Haahhh!!!”
A bright blue energy wave burst from his hands, shooting straight at the energy sphere.
But what good was it, even if he gave it his all?
The disparity was simply too vast.
As all his strength was exhausted, Bardock was swallowed by Death Ball.
The terrifying energy ravaged his body, and he could feel his death approach.
Visions of the future once again filled his mind at this moment.
He should have lost consciousness, lost awareness.
But at this moment, everything became clear to him.
“The future… it’s up to you… Kakarot, Talot!!!”
The hysterical shout was something only Bardock himself could hear.
‘Boom!!!!!!!!!!’
Death Ball broke through Planet Vegeta’s atmosphere, causing all who lived on Planet Vegeta to look up.
The Saiyans, who had been indulging in entertainment just moments before, now realized that destruction had arrived.
But now, even if they wanted to resist, it was too late.
Looking from outer space, it took only a dozen seconds for Death Ball to crash into Planet Vegeta’s core.
Under the terrifying destructive power of the Death Ball, countless cracks appeared on the entire planet, clearly showing huge chasms, with magma erupting from them.
The planet twisted, broke apart… and finally…
‘Boom~~!!!!!!!!!’ Planet Vegeta exploded, turning into brilliant fireworks in space.
“Ho ho ho ho ho~~~~!!! What a magnificent sight this is!!!
“Zarbon, Dodoria, such beautiful fireworks are truly a rare sight.””
Frieza let out a maniacal laugh, fully revealing his brutal nature at this moment.
Zarbon and Dodoria, inside the spaceship, felt a chill run down their spines, but they couldn’t show any sign of discomfort.
They had seen planets explode before, but witnessing Frieza destroy a planet was really shocking.
And so, Planet Vegeta vanished, disappearing from existence!
Everything was progressing along its predetermined path.
No one knew that, at the moment of the planet’s explosion, an invisible force carried Bardock—who was on the verge of being completely melted by the energy—across time itself…
