On the main battlefield.
The fight had already reached the climax.
Talot had completely adapted to Frieza's attack patterns.
The Saiyan trait of growing stronger when facing stronger foes had erupted. From being suppressed at the start, Talot had gained the ability to fight back, and now he was evenly matched.
Frieza had noticed this too. Everything was within his expectations. Saiyans were a fighting race, born to fight. Gaining strength mid-battle was nothing unusual.
But no matter how much Talot's power rose, it was meaningless to Frieza. He continued to toy with Talot at his leisure.
First, let Talot see hope, then give him absolute despair. Nothing was more beautiful than that.
"Hmph!! You're a tenacious monkey, aren't you!!" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Frieza's eyes. In an instant, he burst forth with power, his right leg gathering strength before kicking out with overwhelming force.
Bang!!!! A blow strong enough to shatter mountains landed squarely on Talot's chest.
An irresistible force swept through his whole body. At that moment, Talot lost control, flung back like a cannonball, smashing through several towering mountains and tumbling backward for several kilometres before he barely managed to stop.
On his chest, a massive footprint was clearly visible, still emitting searing white smoke.
Talot's expression darkened. After a brief moment of silence, he exhaled deeply.
"Amazing~~!!" Talot grinned. Pain turned into a fighting spirit. He could feel the power in his body rising.
Whaa-la-la-la~~!!!!
A golden aura erupted from within, his aura fiercely soaring to unprecedented heights!
His power level rose again. In just a few minutes of this battle, his base form's power level had reached sixty million, while the peak strength of his Super Saiyan 2 had skyrocketed to twelve billion.
"Oh? Did my attack make you even more excited, monkey? In that case… I'll just hit you even harder!!" Gazing at Talot's situation and sensing the fighting spirit emanating from him, Frieza slowly approached, his playful mood ignited. As he raised his right arm, energy began to gather at the tip of his right index finger.
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh~~~!!! The sound of the air tearing apart rang out again and again.
As Frieza closed in, countless Death Beams streaked through the sky, blasting toward Talot.
Facing this barrage, Talot sneered. His legs dug into the ground with power, shattering it as he shot straight toward Frieza.
To others, charging head-on into all those Death Beams looked no different from seeking death.
But what happened next was beyond anyone's imagination.
Talot's agile figure wove through the space, darting back and forth, sidestepping one Death Beam after another with ingenious movements, and in a flash, he was in front of Frieza.
"What?!" Frieza's pupils shrank sharply in disbelief as Talot closed the distance.
"I've seen through all your attack patterns, Frieza!!!" Talot's voice rang out as his right fist, wrapped in golden aura, slammed forward with unstoppable force.
Bang!!!! The powerful punch landed squarely on Frieza's face, twisting his face and sending him hurtling backward.
After temporarily losing control of his body, Frieza glided for tens of meters before stabilizing himself. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was distorted with ferocity.
But Talot had no intention of letting him off so easily. He charged forward once again.
"Damn monkey!!!" the furious Frieza roared, swinging his fists toward Talot.
Just as his fist was about to land on Talot, Talot's aura flared once again and he moved at ultra-high speed, skillfully arriving behind Frieza.
"Hmph~~!! Did you think such low-level tricks could fool my eyes?" Frieza snorted coldly, controlling his tail as it shot toward Talot's heart.
Whoosh~~!! His sharp tail pierced through Talot's body, yet there was no real sensation. Frieza's expression changed drastically, having a bad premonition.
What Frieza had struck just now was only an afterimage. Talot's real body had silently appeared at his right side, forming a finishing move.
By the time Frieza realized it, it was already too late.
"You're far too full of yourself, Frieza!" As the words left his mouth, a spiraling golden electric energy beam roared out from Talot's hands.
At such close range, Frieza had no time to dodge. His body was instantly swallowed by the raging energy.
The overwhelming spiral golden electric energy beam drove forward with Frieza's body, skidding for kilometres before something unexpected happened.
The energy beam's advance slowed. Frieza emerged, stopping its push with sheer, absolute power.
A deeper reservoir of energy within him had been triggered. His aura had swelled to a terrifying level!
Judging via senses alone, it was estimated at just over thirty billion.
"Hohohoho~~!! This move packed quite a punch. It actually caught me off guard. But unfortunately, that's all it can do." With his absolute power, Frieza held back the energy beam and then kicked upward, his foot slamming hard into the destructive energy.
With a single strike, the mighty spiral golden electric energy beam was redirected, shooting straight into the sky and out into space.
Boom~~!!! The destructive energy exploded in the vacuum of space, its blinding light of destruction blooming and covering the skies above Earth.
Everyone except Talot and Frieza hurriedly raised their hands to shield their eyes and withstand the storm's onslaught.
Frieza, however, having effortlessly neutralized Talot's ultimate technique, was smiling with open mockery.
Talot, on the other hand, looked calm, as though he had already foreseen this.
"Hohohoho~~!! In front of absolute power, your tricks are useless. After such a long battle, I've also roughly figured out your strength. I'm getting a bit bored." Frieza's eyes flashed with a strong murderous look.
He no longer wanted to play with Talot.
