Tagma adjusted his stance and launched a swift kick toward Kaier.
Kaier gritted her teeth through the pain, swung her fist, and struck back at Tagma.
"You don't know your own limitations!" Tagma sneered. "How dare you fight me in close combat? I've received professional training from King Frieza!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Neither fighter relented. They exchanged blows furiously, each landing hits without regard for injury.
"Tagma, that idiot, is going to lose soon," Broly muttered. As a Legendary Saiyan himself, he understood the terrifying nature of the Great Ape bloodline.
"What do you mean?" Frieza asked, puzzled. "Tagma is clearly stronger. How could he lose?"
Rayden smiled knowingly. "Frieza, in this transformation state, she grows stronger through battle. As long as Kaier's body can withstand the surge in energy, she'll soon surpass Tagma."
"What?!" Frieza's expression darkened. "Saiyans can get stronger mid-battle?!"
He turned to the ring and shouted, "Tagma, eliminate her quickly! She grows stronger the longer she fights!"
"Yes, King Frieza!"
Tagma gathered all his strength and delivered a powerful kick to Kaier's abdomen.
"Ahhh!"
Kaier doubled over and was sent flying backward.
"I promised my sister I wouldn't lose!"
Kaier caught herself midair, stabilized, and charged back at Tagma with renewed fury.
"That's the spirit! Keep it up!" Champa cheered, clapping his stubby hands.
Tagma smirked. "You're still standing? Let's try again!"
The two clashed midair. With each exchange, Kaier was knocked back—but the distance she was forced back lessened.
Tagma's confidence wavered. "What the hell? She's closing the gap..."
Realizing he was losing the upper hand, Tagma quickly formed a red Ki blast and hurled it at Kaier.
Kaier, undeterred, summoned her energy to counter.
BOOM!
The two blasts collided, creating a storm of energy in the air.
"Ahhhhh!"
Tagma roared, increasing his output. His Ki overwhelmed Kaier's.
Another explosion rocked the arena. Kaier crashed into the ring, wounded and torn.
Tagma smirked and looked at the host. "Go ahead. Call it. I won."
"I haven't lost yet!"
Kaier shot back into the sky, now fully engulfed in green energy.
"Explosive Energy Burst!"
Energy blasts erupted from Kaier, raining in all directions.
Whis and Vados quickly intervened, shielding the audience with their staffs.
Tagma enveloped himself in an energy shield and rushed toward Kaier—only to be met with a bone-shattering punch.
BOOM!
Tagma crashed into the arena, creating a deep crater.
He blinked, dazed. No... her power has surpassed mine!
Before he could rise, Kaier landed beside him, grabbed his head, and began grinding it into the ground.
"Ahhh! Stop! Ahhh!"
Tagma flailed helplessly, unable to escape.
Kaier dragged his face across the ring repeatedly, leaving trails of destruction.
Cell chuckled. "Broly, that looks like your signature move."
Broly grinned. "Maybe it's a Super Bloodline thing."
Bulma and Chichi cringed and covered their eyes. "This is too much!"
Finally, Kaier grew bored. She hurled Tagma into the sky, formed a powerful Ki blast, and fired.
BOOM!
Tagma was launched toward Universe 7's stands.
Frieza appeared in a flash, catching him mid-air. Whis immediately healed Tagma with a wave of his staff.
Tagma looked down in shame. "King Frieza, I'm sorry... I failed you."
Frieza's expression softened. "This isn't your fault. That Saiyan's power grew too fast. Watch closely. I'll avenge you."
Frieza leapt onto the ring, golden flames enveloping him.
Tagma remained motionless, stunned by Frieza's words. He... he actually cares?
Vados stepped forward to repair the arena.
Frieza stopped her politely. "Dear lady, there's no need. Let's consider anyone who can't fight a loser, ring or no ring. It saves you the trouble."
He was calm outwardly, but inside, he seethed. No ring means no rules. I'll destroy anyone who harms my subordinate.
"Frieza has a point," Beerus agreed. "Let the fighters go all out."
Vados turned to Champa. "Lord Champa?"
Champa thought it over. With Kaier's power rising every second, having no ring might tip the odds in his favor. He grinned. "Fine. No ring."
Vados returned to the audience.
The host called out, "Both players are ready. The fifth match begins now!"
"Haaaaah!"
Frieza let out a roar. A brilliant golden light burst from his body, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.
When the light faded, Frieza stood transformed—his skin now gleaming gold, surrounded by crackling golden flames.
Golden Frieza had arrived.
"What the hell?!" someone from Universe 6 shouted. "Is that even humanly possible?!"
Frost trembled in fear. Even the usually composed Hit narrowed his eyes.
Champa gawked. "Are you sure this guy's from your universe, Skinny Ribs? Did you import him?!"
Beerus scoffed and ignored him.
Whis smiled gently. "Rest assured, Lord Champa. Mr. Frieza is from our universe."
Champa fell silent. Whis wouldn't lie about something like this.
"Hohoho~!" Frieza chuckled darkly. "Ready for pain, little girl?"
Kaier roared and charged, fists blazing with energy.
The next round had begun.
