When the energy storm finally faded, a flawless white "perfect form" appeared before everyone.
"T-This…" Krillin's voice shook.
Bulma stared at Frieza's final form, curiosity flashing across her face.
"Huh? So this is the final form? He actually got smaller… kind of cute."
But after watching Goku grow, she also understood that at this level, strength had nothing to do with size.
And seeing how tense Krillin and Piccolo looked, she shut up and focused—waiting for the next round.
Frieza stretched his body elegantly and floated up into the sky.
A cruel smile hung on his lips as he extended a hand.
"This… is my true form.
Fifty percent of my power is enough to make you despair."
He lifted a finger lightly. A Death Beam swept out.
In an instant, a distant mountain range turned to dust—Namek itself trembling under the force.
"Now," Frieza looked down at Goku, "kneel and beg.
I can make your death quick."
Goku only smiled.
"Fifty percent?
Then let me see how many moves your fifty percent can take."
With a sudden shout, Goku's aura swelled explosively.
The next moment, golden energy blasted into the sky.
Before everyone's eyes, Goku's black hair turned into brilliant gold, and his eyes became green.
The clear, passionate look in his gaze turned colder—sharper.
Krillin burst out in excitement. "Goku transformed too! His ki doesn't feel weaker than Frieza's—right?!"
As he spoke, he looked at Tien and Piccolo.
But both of them were frozen in shock, expressions locked, not even hearing Krillin's question.
"T-This…" Vegeta stumbled a step from his hiding place, his voice hoarse.
"Is this… the legendary Super Saiyan?"
His movement immediately drew everyone's attention.
Krillin stared at Vegeta in shock. "Vegeta?! He's not dead?!"
Even Piccolo glanced over, confused. "I didn't even notice him hiding here…
Did he learn to suppress his ki…?"
Frieza was surprised too.
He clearly remembered killing Vegeta—so how was he alive?
But whether Vegeta lived or died didn't matter. He was far too weak to affect anything.
What shocked Frieza more was what Vegeta had just said—Super Saiyan.
Frieza stared at Goku.
Golden hair. Green eyes.
After dealing with Saiyans for so many years, he had never once seen a transformation like this.
Frieza scoffed. "Super Saiyan? Don't make me laugh!"
He pointed a finger—Death Beam shooting straight at Goku.
Goku casually flicked a knife-hand.
The Death Beam was knocked aside.
Frieza let out a small "Huh?"
Then more Death Beams fired in rapid succession.
Goku simply waved his arm again—each beam deflected effortlessly.
The beams that were knocked away slammed into the ground, flattening mountain after mountain with terrifying destructive power.
Yet those same deadly beams were being brushed aside with one hand—like they were nothing.
Frieza's confident expression finally cracked.
"N-No…
Impossible… he's deflecting them with his bare hand…"
At that moment, Vegeta suddenly started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA—AHAHAHAHA!
Frieza, you're finished!
Kakarot is the Super Saiyan you feared the most!
You wiped out an entire planet of Saiyans, and the Super Saiyan still survived!
HAHAHA! This is too good!"
Frieza's fury ignited instantly.
A flash of light—
and a Death Beam shot straight into Vegeta.
Vegeta didn't even see what happened. A hole appeared in his chest.
He stared down in disbelief, hands clamping over the bloody cavity as the impact hurled him backward.
He hit the ground hard and lay there.
Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, and Bulma all jolted.
Bulma blurted out, "What just happened?!"
Piccolo shook his head. "I-I didn't see it."
Krillin said tensely, "Even if Frieza's attacks look easy for Goku to block…
for us, his speed is on a completely different level."
Bulma swallowed, then suggested shakily, "Maybe we should move even farther away…"
At that moment, Goku also realized Frieza's attacks were too fast.
If Frieza aimed anywhere but at him, Goku might not react in time to protect everyone.
So Goku shouted toward Bulma, "Bulma! I can't focus with you here—get in the ship and leave first!"
Bulma froze, half shocked, half relieved. "If we leave in the ship, what about you?!"
Goku replied calmly, "I can fly in space. I'll catch up."
Krillin blinked. "Saiyans can breathe in space?!"
Right then, a red beam shot at Goku.
Goku was still talking to them—he didn't even react.
The beam struck his face—
but the instant it touched him, it was blocked by his aura and ricocheted off to the side.
Seeing his Death Beam hit Goku's face with zero effect, Frieza's pupils contracted.
"How…?
It didn't work?!"
Goku turned his head, glanced at Frieza with contempt, then continued shouting.
"Krillin—go! All of you, leave! You're in my way!"
Krillin and the others understood. Staying would only hold Goku back.
So they hurried away.
Frieza laughed. "Hehe… I won't let you escape that easily!"
He lifted a finger toward their backs—
but Goku flashed in front of him and drove a fist into Frieza's face.
Frieza shot off like a cannonball, slamming into a mountain. The peak collapsed, burying him in rock and dust.
Krillin and the others immediately accelerated. After a few dozen seconds, they finally vanished from sight.
A moment later, the rubble pile exploded.
Frieza burst out, arms spread, floating above the debris.
But Krillin and the others were already gone.
"Hmph. My Frieza Force spans the universe. They won't get away.
After I kill you, I'll go to Earth and wipe them out—along with Raditz… and the planet itself."
Goku smiled. "Sounds like we're thinking the same thing.
After I kill you, I'll find your father, King Cold, and your brother, Cooler, and wipe them out too."
Frieza hadn't expected Goku to know any of that. His eyes narrowed.
"Y-You… who are you?!"
Goku grinned.
"I'm the Saiyan who grew up on Earth."
