The cocky curve at the corner of Super Perfect Cell's mouth was impossible to hide.
At that moment, everyone from Universe 6 who had already been eliminated seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. Their eyes all turned toward Super Perfect Cell at once, filled with shock and fear.
"Y-You... How did you find this place?!"
The first to break the silence was the Universe 6 Namekian Super Perfect Cell had eliminated earlier. His voice trembled in disbelief as he instantly recognized the terrifying enemy standing before them.
Behind him, the Yardratian and Magetta also began trembling slightly, their expressions full of wariness.
As far as they were concerned, the space prison Hit had created was the safest possible refuge, a hidden place no one should have been able to find. Yet Super Perfect Cell had somehow appeared here, and their sense of security shattered instantly.
Super Perfect Cell couldn't care less about their shocked questions. His gaze swept through the crowd before locking directly onto Frost.
After all, Frost had just been talking about getting revenge.
And the moment Super Perfect Cell saw Frost's face, which bore more than a passing resemblance to Frieza, his irritation immediately flared up.
Frieza's smug, arrogant face had always rubbed him the wrong way, and now here was another guy who looked like Frieza, except much weaker. That only made him all the more annoying.
The corner of Super Perfect Cell's mouth curled upward into a nasty grin.
'If you're going to pick a target, pick the softest one.'
As far as he was concerned, Frost was the perfect punching bag for all the irritation Frieza inspired in him.
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Super Perfect Cell's body. At the same time, Caulifla immediately transformed into Super Saiyan 3.
"Hey, brat! You're from Universe 7, aren't you? How the hell did you find this place?" Caulifla pointed straight at Super Perfect Cell.
She already had a stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent it. Getting ambushed by that big bald guy had pissed her off enough, and now someone had conveniently shown up for her to take it out on.
Super Perfect Cell glanced at Caulifla and realized she was actually a female Saiyan. She had a pretty aggressive personality, too, and her battle power wasn't bad.
"Hmm. She's definitely pretty strong. Not bad at all... but compared to Big Sis, she's still way behind."
As Super Perfect Cell stared at Caulifla, an old memory suddenly flashed through his mind. A long time ago, Vegeta had casually mentioned something to him: apparently, it was simply in a Saiyan's nature to be attracted to strong-willed women.
That was why Vegeta had chosen Bulma. Son Goku had Chi-Chi. Even Gohan had ended up with Videl.
Years had passed since then. And now his boss was already well into marriageable age, yet unfortunately, no woman had managed to catch his eye. Super Perfect Cell and Bulla had tried to push Mai and Trunks together before, but Trunks clearly wasn't interested and refused to play along.
Now, however, Universe 6 had a female Saiyan right in front of him. She was strong, fierce, and assertive. Compared to the relatively mild-mannered Mai, Caulifla fit Vegeta's description much better.
An idea began forming in Super Perfect Cell's head.
"Hey! You little brat! What the hell do you mean, 'Big Sis'? I asked you a question. Didn't you hear me?" Caulifla glared at him.
"None of your business. I just don't like that guy." Super Perfect Cell pointed directly at Frost.
Frost, however, didn't seem to take Super Perfect Cell seriously at all. He let out a sinister chuckle. "Heh heh heh... A little brat like you actually dares to challenge me?"
Frost's expression darkened as he slowly stepped out from the crowd. He raised his head and stared at Super Perfect Cell.
"Brat from Universe 7, I'll show you what true cruelty looks like. And not just you, I'll make that Frieza from your universe understand just how strong I am, too."
Super Perfect Cell stared at Frost as if he were looking at an idiot. "Frieza? Did you just say Frieza? You've got a grudge against him?"
His mind raced, and he quickly pieced together a rough idea of what had happened. "Don't tell me Frieza beat the crap out of you? Hahaha! Getting beaten up by someone who looks almost exactly like you must've felt pretty awful, huh?"
The fight hadn't even started yet, and Frost had already been thoroughly humiliated by Super Perfect Cell's trash talk.
He finally snapped. "Die, you little brat!!"
At this point, Frost looked nothing like his usual self. His furious, twisted expression certainly didn't resemble that of a benevolent philanthropist. Cabba and the others frowned, studying him with growing suspicion.
Frost immediately fired an energy beam at Super Perfect Cell.
'Whoosh!'
Super Perfect Cell casually shifted aside and dodged it. But Frost had no intention of stopping there.
"Fine! Then I'll show you the transformation I've only recently mastered! And I can guarantee that I understand this form even better than Frieza does!"
Frost gritted his teeth, his face contorting as his muscles tensed.
"AAAAAH!"
With a roar, golden light erupted around his body, and his physique grew noticeably more powerful. At last, Frost had reached the level he had been pursuing.
Golden Frost had arrived.
Everyone from Universe 6 stared at him in astonishment. None of them had expected Frost to possess this kind of power. Caulifla's eyes moved up and down his golden form; she hadn't expected this unimpressive-looking guy to actually break through his limits.
For a moment, Golden Frost became the center of everyone's attention.
Then Super Perfect Cell let out a contemptuous laugh. "Hahaha! Tch. And here I thought it was going to be something impressive. You just turned golden."
He paused, then gave Frost a mocking look. "Wait. Are you seriously saying you understand this form better than Frieza? Are you sure Frieza didn't just hold back when he beat you up and give you the wrong idea?"
Question after question came pouring out of Super Perfect Cell's mouth.
Frost merely smiled coldly. "Brat, you won't be talking for much longer."
"Oh, really?" Super Perfect Cell looked at him with open disdain.
Then…
'Whoosh.'
In a single second, Super Perfect Cell transformed into his own Golden Form.
