Frieza slowly raised a slender finger.
At its tip, a spinning purple energy ball—packed with destructive force—began to form.
"Ignorant Saiyan."
"Do you truly believe your pathetic power can hinder the ambitions of Lord Frieza?"
Loren looked at Frieza with obvious irritation.
"So much nonsense."
"If you want to fight, hurry up. I still need to get back for my afternoon nap."
Frieza's elegant smile instantly froze.
"Dead monkey… you're ready to die?!"
With his rage ignited, Frieza flicked the energy ball forward. It burst out in a blazing purple arc straight toward Loren's face.
"Mr. Loren, dodge!!" Krillin yelled.
Loren casually lifted his right hand.
A calm blue ki sphere formed in his palm.
He gently pushed it forward.
Boom—!!
The blue and purple energies collided mid-air with a deafening thunderclap.
Terrifying shockwaves tore across the landscape, scraping away the ground for kilometers and forming a massive crater over a thousand meters wide.
When the dust settled—
Loren stood in the same spot, completely unharmed.
The cruel grin on Frieza's lips froze.
This Saiyan…
He had taken the attack effortlessly.
Impossible!
"A little interesting."
Loren stretched his wrist with a soft crack.
"Warm-up's over?"
"Then it's my turn."
Before he even finished his sentence—
Loren vanished.
No afterimage.
No sound.
Frieza's pupils shrank sharply.
Danger.
His entire body screamed danger.
His instincts forced him to retreat at maximum speed.
But—
Too late.
A single fist appeared before him.
Just a normal punch on the surface…
But in reality, it carried enough power to shatter stars.
Frieza crossed his arms, pouring all his power into blocking.
Bang!
A dull impact—
Then—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Frieza's body blasted backward, smashing through three giant mountain peaks before embedding deep into the fourth. Dust exploded into the sky like a volcanic eruption.
Silence.
Krillin and Gohan stood frozen.
Goku stared in disbelief.
Too strong.
Far too strong.
And Vegeta—
He wasn't simply shocked.
He was broken.
Frieza.
The Emperor of the Universe.
The demon who haunted every second of Vegeta's childhood.
The one who destroyed Planet Vegeta.
The one who enslaved him for half his life.
That nightmare—
Was knocked away with one punch by Loren.
Vegeta felt his worldview shatter.
"How… how is this possible…?"
"That guy Loren…"
"How can he be this strong?!"
Even Frieza couldn't withstand him.
A single absurd thought appeared in Vegeta's mind—
"Could it be… Loren is… the legendary…"
"The one who appears only once every thousand years…"
"A… Super Saiyan?"
Once the idea appeared, he couldn't contain it.
It explained everything.
Why Loren could casually wipe out the Ginyu Force.
Why Loren could face Frieza without a hint of fear.
Because Loren wasn't standing on the same plane as them.
He was standing on the legendary one.
Vegeta felt jealousy—
And pride.
If Loren truly was the Super Saiyan, and he was defeating Frieza…
Then Saiyans really were the strongest in the universe.
Even the Emperor must kneel before a Saiyan.
Vegeta's fists clenched and loosened repeatedly.
Boom—!!
Suddenly, the distant mountain range erupted.
A purple beam of light shot out from the rubble.
Frieza floated in mid-air, purple blood dripping from his mouth.
His elegance was gone.
Only pure, psychotic rage remained.
"You damn monkey!"
"You dare… make Lord Frieza bleed?!"
Frieza let out a screaming roar.
He couldn't accept it.
Being overpowered by a Saiyan?!
"Very good…"
"Very good!!"
"You have successfully angered me!"
Frieza spread his arms slowly.
"I wanted you ants to savor despair a bit longer."
"But now… I've changed my mind."
"Let me show you…"
"What REAL terror looks like!"
Rumble—!!
A terrifying pressure exploded outward from Frieza.
The ground split.
Massive boulders shot into the sky before being pulverized into dust by sheer ki pressure.
The clouds twisted into a giant vortex. Thunder boomed across Namek.
"AHHHHHHHHH—!!"
Frieza screamed with a mix of pain and excitement.
His body expanded rapidly.
Muscles bulged.
Bones cracked and rearranged.
His frame grew taller and thicker.
The purple armor on his head split open—
Two enormous curved horns burst through.
"This… what is this…?"
Krillin's voice trembled.
"His ki… it's growing so fast…!"
Vegeta's new Super Saiyan theory was shattered instantly.
If Loren was the legendary Super Saiyan…
Then what the hell was THIS monster becoming?!
At last—
The energy storm subsided.
A towering, monstrous figure floated in mid-air.
Frieza's Second Form.
Bigger.
More muscular.
Two massive horns gleaming with killing intent.
Just his presence was suffocating.
His power level—
Over one million.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho…"
Frieza cracked his massive neck with a vicious grin.
"How does it feel, Saiyan monkey?"
"This… THIS is the true power of Lord Frieza!"
