"After just changing forms, your power has increased this much. Monkey… you really are… unbearably annoying!!!" Every one of his attacks missed, driving Frieza into a fit of rage. Humiliated, he unleashed his full strength once again, swinging a planet-shattering punch straight at Talot's face.
'BOOM!!!!' An ear-piercing rumble rang out as violent winds wreaked havoc in all directions.
That devastating punch was blocked by Talot's left hand, who not only ingeniously deflected all of its force but also locked Frieza's fist in place, preventing it from moving forward even a fraction or pulling back.
"Frieza, is that all the strength you have? With such soft, weak punches, you won't be able to hurt me in the slightest!" As his words fell, Talot seized the opening and drove an uppercut square into Frieza's jaw.
The immense force flipped Frieza's body, blasting him hundreds of meters into the sky.
Locking onto Frieza's position, Talot swung both arms and instantly unleashed hundreds of spiraling energy blasts toward him.
"Aaahhhh!!!!" Frieza roared, forcing his body back under control, rapidly countering with a continuous barrage of Death Balls.
'RUMBLE~~!!!'
An intense energy battle was on the verge of breaking out. The energy attacks from both sides were terrifying to the extreme. The shockwaves from the explosions continued to expand, leaving the wasteland devastated. The scorching high temperatures even caused the Earth's space to distort, as if it were about to collapse.
The bombardment of energy blasts raged on for a full thirty seconds, with neither side able to gain the upper hand, both evenly matched.
But the relentless energy bombardment began to tire Frieza, causing his assault to slow.
Using his sharp perception, Talot instantly caught an opening in Frieza. In the blink of an eye, he used Instant Transmission and appeared behind Frieza. Clasping his hands together to form a hammer, he ruthlessly smashed down.
"Not good!" Sensing the danger at his back, Frieza whirled around in utter shock.
But a massive fist ruthlessly struck him at the back of the neck.
'BANG!!!' Reeling from the strike, Frieza was knocked from the sky, smashing into the ground and carving out a crater ten meters deep.
Blow after blow of humiliation drove Frieza's killing intent toward Talot to its peak.
His body trembled with rage, but soon he calmed down.
Frieza stood up, brushing the dust from his body, looking as though nothing had happened at all.
At that moment, Talot also descended from the sky, landing dozens of meters away, eyes locked with Frieza's.
Though the air seemed calm, an undercurrent churned between them.
"This boring probing ends here. Show me your full strength, Frieza. If you still hold back, I won't hesitate to kill you right now." Talot cracked his knuckles, his sharp eyes fixed on Frieza, sneering coldly.
"You're right, this pointless warm-up ends now. To be honest, your strength has far surpassed even my expectations. I thought I wouldn't need to use my newest transformation, but it seems I have no choice. You'll be the first to witness my brand-new form." Frieza raised his right hand, lifting a single finger, wearing a wicked grin.
"You're that certain your new transformation can kill me?" Talot asked with a smile.
"Hohohoho~~!! I admire your courage. You're quite different from the other Saiyans. I only hope that once you see my true power, you won't be so terrified that you lose even the will to resist." With that, Frieza wasted no more words. His body leaned forward, fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead as the energy slumbering within him began to awaken.
A white-purple aura flared up, changing visibly before their eyes, slowly transforming into crimson-gold. Frieza's skin color began to change as well, and a soul-crushing pressure spread across the planet, altering the climate. The skies above the far north's wasteland grew heavy with thick, dark clouds.
'CRACKLE~~!!'
Bolts of thick golden lightning rained down from the clouds, lashing the ground viciously. With Frieza as the epicenter, the surrounding terrain began to shockingly change.
The entire Earth, no…. The entire Milky Way shook under the force of his might.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!" Frieza roared with all his might, and in an instant, his energy surged and transformed, erupting in a blinding golden radiance so intense that everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.
Soon, the golden light dispersed, and Frieza descended in an entirely new form.
"Hohohoho~~!! I kept you waiting, monkey. This is the new transformation I mastered after undergoing hellish training on my home planet." Frieza's entire body gleamed with a golden sheen, his aura rising to a terrifying new level.
The unfathomably powerful energy crackled through the air, shooting out arcs of eerie lightning.
This overwhelming pressure spread across Earth, filling every heart with an inexplicable fear, quickening their heartbeat and stripping away control over their own bodies.
Through Ki Sense, it was clear. Frieza's Ki had risen to a truly terrifying level.
Even Talot's expression turned serious. Though he had prepared himself for the worst from the very start, when Frieza finally revealed his Golden Form, his mind was still shaken.
"Hohohoho~~~!!! Judging from your reaction, you're quite shocked by my new form. But don't think it's just a change of skin color to gold!" At this moment, the Golden Frieza had arrived.
The most vicious, most evil, and strongest emperor in the universe.
"Heh~! Is that all?" Talot looked Golden Frieza up and down, already forming a general sense of his opponent's power.
Golden Frieza's strength was indeed immense, but it wasn't yet at the level where he couldn't deal with him at all.
In this era, Golden Frieza's power had not yet reached the terrifying heights of being able to rival Super Saiyan Blue.
"Oh my, it seems you still don't understand the situation. In that case, I'll reluctantly show you." As his words fell, Golden Frieza swung his arm, releasing a golden energy blast of immeasurable power that grazed past Talot.
'BOOM~~~!!!!' The ground violently collapsed, revealing an immensely long and deep chasm, within which golden light flickered, stretching for dozens of kilometers.
Golden Frieza's sudden attack caused Talot's heart to tremble. He quickly turned his gaze toward the colossal chasm at his left…
If that blast had landed directly on him, even his Super Saiyan 3 couldn't have withstood it, and he would've been gravely injured.
"Now do you understand the difference in strength between you and me? It's despairing, isn't it, monkey? Hohohoho~~~!!!" Golden Frieza mocked with a sinister smile.
He had already decided how he would torment Talot—breaking his bones one by one, forcing him into a state where he could neither live nor die, begging him to grant him death amidst his despair and screams.
…
Outside the battlefield.
At the very moment Golden Frieza appeared, everyone was struck with uncontrollable fear, their bodies refusing to move.
"It's over… everything is over… That b*stard Frieza was toying with all of us from the beginning… Even if Talot transforms into an even higher level of Super Saiyan, it's useless… We're… all doomed…" Vegeta's face turned pale, sweat pouring down like rain. The appearance of Golden Frieza reawakened the fear sealed deep within his heart.
He recalled the time when his very existence had been under Frieza's rule.
They were completely finished…
"His aura… is terrifying… how can someone be this powerful in this world?" Even the ever-optimistic Goku was intimated by the overwhelming aura of Golden Frieza.
Just a casual strike had unleashed such destructive power. If that attack had landed on him, his body would have been obliterated in an instant, leaving not a trace behind.
"That b*stard Frieza was hiding such a powerful transformation all along… Can Talot really handle this…" As the strongest among the group, even Raditz trembled before Golden Frieza's immense power. For the first time, he began to doubt Talot as well.
It was hard to blame him. Golden Frieza's Ki was frighteningly overwhelming, far beyond Talot's Super Saiyan 3.
Unless Talot had an even higher transformation, this battle truly seemed hopeless.
Nappa, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Krillin—the weakest of the group—were utterly speechless, their emotions beyond description at this moment.
Their bodies were frozen, souls gripped by deep fear that left them unable to move. They couldn't even speak, their throats as if gripped by invisible claws, making even breathing unbearably difficult.
