After a brief bout of entertainment in knocking the Yardratian Jimis off the ring, Yuujin used Instant Transmission to return to the battlefield where Gokumi and the others were fighting.
"Yuujin, you're back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
Broly welcomed Yuujin's return, and Yuujin smiled as he gently patted her on the head.
Gokumi, Chi-Chi, and the other girls were in fierce combat with Kakunsa, Roasie, and others from Universe 2. Ribrianne was also being held off by Android 17, the two clashing intensely on another side of the ring.
With no one else interfering, Yuujin and Broly picked a spot to sit and watch the girls' battle.
In the fight, Chi-Chi was up against the witch warrior Kakunsa, Gokumi against the witch warrior Roasie, while Rylibeu, Caway, and Hop teamed up against Bikal.
Transformed Kakunsa was a beast warrior with primal instincts. She had blue hair, and cat-like features on her hands, ears, and tail—making her quite similar to Hop.
Moreover, Kakunsa excelled in speed, her fighting style wild and feral—like a hunter aiming to catch prey with flair. She attacked relentlessly with fangs and claws, not giving her opponent a moment to breathe. Her interweaving and overlapping assaults were almost impossible to escape. Even Chi-Chi had to activate Kaio-Ken just to keep up.
However, Chi-Chi merely activated the 100x Kaio-Ken and was already able to fight her evenly. If she activated her strongest 500x Kaio-Ken, defeating Kakunsa wouldn't be an issue.
Roasie, who was fighting Gokumi, was a petite girl who used a very distinctive set of techniques called "Beatdown Fist", and kept shouting "Oh cha cha, oh cha cha" nonstop during battle.
Though the name sounded a bit silly, it was truly a top-tier martial art style and technique.
Her flurry of punches grew sharper and fiercer as the battle went on, alternating between softness and intensity. Her techniques flowed unpredictably—like the delicate yet wild heart of a young girl. Even Gokumi suffered a few setbacks at first.
Then there was Bikal, who was fighting Rylibeu and the others. Bikal was a tall, beautiful girl with a ponytail and a vampire-like style.
Compared to Kakunsa and Roasie, Bikal was slightly weaker. However, her pair of wings gave her aerial mobility, which was a big advantage in the Tournament of Power.
Rylibeu, who also had wings, fought Bikal in the air. Though Bikal seemed stronger, Rylibeu had the support of Caway and Hop. So defeating Bikal was just a matter of time.
Yuujin couldn't help but look forward to it—once Chi-Chi, Gokumi, and the others took down Kakunsa, Roasie, and Bikal, his group of captives might double in size!
"Hm?"
Suddenly sensing something, Yuujin softly exclaimed and looked toward the other side of the arena.
There, a golden light erupted, and two terrifying auras were clashing fiercely.
"Interesting. Sharuru is actually fighting that Frieza, and she's even using her true power."
With a slight upward curl at the corner of his mouth, Yuujin muttered to himself.
During the two years of training together in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Sharuru had finally surpassed her Golden Form and reached an even higher transformation. Her power was now comparable to Yuujin and the others' Super Saiyan 4.
To think someone could force her to go all out—looks like that Frieza from Universe 7 wasn't to be underestimated.
A few minutes earlier, on the other side of the arena—
"Yoh-ha!!!"
After exchanging a ki blast each, Frieza and Sharuru crashed through several chunks of Thunder Steel before landing on the ground.
"You're truly interesting, Android Sharuru!"
Staring intensely at Sharuru, Frieza spoke.
Though slightly panting, Frieza looked genuinely delighted.
"You're not bad yourself, Frieza of Universe 7."
Licking her thin lips, Sharuru revealed a cruel smile.
There were plenty of toys on this stage, but even toys had grades.
And in the eyes of Frieza and Sharuru, each other was the highest grade of all.
Ah, how she longed to cruelly torture him—to make him crawl like a dog and scream in agony for mercy!
"I've played enough. I suppose it's time I show some of my true power."
"Don't run away scared now. I still plan to torture you thoroughly."
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho!!!!!"
After fighting for quite some time, Frieza knew his normal form couldn't beat Sharuru. So, laughing maniacally, he unleashed his full power.
His aura surged at terrifying speed, and Frieza's body gradually turned golden. His immense power even overflowed, forming a golden energy cloak around him.
"This is my transformation: Golden Frieza."
"Well? Not bad, right?"
Frieza gave a graceful bow to Sharuru and smiled.
Sharuru narrowed her eyes. Not bad? This was worlds apart from the Frieza before!
Raising one hand, she fired off several ki blasts at Frieza. But Frieza didn't dodge—he let the blasts hit him directly.
These weren't ordinary blasts—any one of them could level mountains. Yet, they didn't leave a scratch on Frieza's body!
Frowning, Sharuru fired twin eye beams strong enough to pierce Thunder Steel—yet they too failed to leave even a mark!
"Well? Want to keep trying?"
Wearing a mocking grin, Frieza asked.
"No thanks. You're practically a monster," Sharuru sighed.
"Oh ho ho, I'll take that as a compliment."
"Since you're done, it's my turn now."
Frieza pointed with a finger, and several energy rings shot out.
With a grunt, Sharuru was slammed against a chunk of Thunder Steel, her limbs bound to it by Frieza's energy rings—completely immobilized.
Sharuru tried to break free by unleashing her energy, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape the rings.
"No use. With your strength, you'll never break free."
"Now, let's begin—the real show."
With a devilish smile, Frieza raised one finger and unleashed thousands of ki blasts.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
"AAAAAHHHHHHH…!!!"
Blasted by the endless barrage, even Sharuru couldn't help but scream in agony.
And Frieza—he was utterly ecstatic. His whole body began twisting in manic laughter—
"Yes! That's it! That's it!"
"Scream for me! Entertain me to your heart's content!"
"Oh ho ho ho ho!!!!"
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho!!!!!"
