"It seems you have quite a bit of self-awareness," the Supreme Kai said with a faint smile, nodding.
"Then let's spar," Goku said, taking a deep breath. "You're the perfect opponent! That way, I can improve as fast as possible!"
"You really know how to pick your targets!" Kibito sneered from the side. "You actually want to fight Lord Supreme Kai? Let me tell you, you're still far from that level! I'm not exaggerating—one glare from Lord Supreme Kai and you'd be sent flying!"
The Supreme Kai's lips curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Eh? When you put it that way, you're right," Goku nodded thoughtfully.
"With my current strength, the gap between me and Lord Supreme Kai really is too big."
Goku recalled that the Supreme Kai's power was roughly on par with Perfect Cell.
However, he was weaker than Super Perfect Cell and nowhere near Super Saiyan 2.
Some people believed that the Supreme Kai was close to Super Saiyan 2 Gohan's level, but that wasn't true.
If he really were that strong, he wouldn't have failed to pull out the Z-Sword, nor would he have feared Dabura.
All signs pointed to his strength being around Perfect Cell's level.
That was also why he claimed he could easily kill Frieza.
"But… who should I fight, then?" Goku rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
Right now, fighting the Supreme Kai felt overwhelming.
The gap was simply too large.
He needed someone closer to his own level—only then could he improve efficiently.
"I can tell that you're still weaker than that guy named Frieza," Kibito chuckled.
"Want to challenge Lord Supreme Kai? Beat Frieza first."
"Frieza?" Goku froze.
Then his eyes lit up.
How could I forget about Frieza?
With my current power, fighting him…
I should be able to grow much faster!
Yes—Frieza!
That's it!
"Kibito, you're absolutely right!" Goku said excitedly.
"I'm going to find Frieza right now!"
He placed his index and middle fingers on his forehead and began searching for Frieza's energy.
"That's the Yardrat Instant Transmission, isn't it?" the Supreme Kai asked.
"Yes," Goku nodded.
"When did you learn that?" Kibito asked.
"Well… a long time ago," Goku replied, then said helplessly,
"Lord Supreme Kai, Kibito, could you be quiet for a bit? It's hard to focus with you talking."
The Supreme Kai and Kibito's faces darkened.
This kid has no manners at all…
Goku continued searching across the universe for Frieza's ki.
Ten seconds later, his eyes lit up.
"Found him! Great! I'm heading out. Goodbye, Lord Supreme Kai, Kibito!"
With that, he vanished.
The two stood there in silence.
Did he really just go looking for Frieza?
"Well, this isn't bad," the Supreme Kai smiled.
"Letting Goku deal with Frieza saves us some trouble."
"Exactly," Kibito agreed.
"We've been focused on Majin Buu all these years and ignored Frieza. He's caused enough chaos. He deserves punishment."
"You two idiots, what do you know?!" Old Supreme Kai scolded angrily.
"Why do you say that, Ancestor?" the Supreme Kai asked, confused.
"Before Lord Beerus went to sleep, he specifically arranged for Frieza to work for him and destroy planets," Old Supreme Kai sighed.
"So I can tell you for sure—Frieza is basically Lord Beerus's agent!"
"Lord Beerus?" the Supreme Kai froze. "Who's that?"
"You… you don't even know who Lord Beerus is?!" Old Supreme Kai stared at him like he was looking at a fool.
"I've never heard of him," the Supreme Kai shook his head.
"Me neither," Kibito added.
Old Supreme Kai fell silent.
These two are hopeless.
"Read more books when you have time!" he scolded angrily.
"Stop doing meaningless things!"
After a pause, he added,
"And stop worrying about Majin Buu too. Leave that to Goku. I believe he can defeat him."
The Supreme Kai and Kibito were completely stunned.
The Goku who's weaker than us… can defeat Majin Buu?
Ancestor, are you joking?
Frieza Planet No. 79
After Vegeta and Nappa arrived on Earth, everything they said—along with the scouter data—had been transmitted back to Frieza's side.
At this moment, Frieza was sitting in his hover pod, smiling as his tail swayed gently.
"Ho ho ho ho! Dragon Balls… able to grant any wish?" His smile grew wider.
"Lord Frieza," Zarbon reported respectfully,
"According to our intel, after being used once, the Dragon Balls need a year to recharge. Even if we go to Earth now, we won't be able to make a wish."
"The last wish was to revive someone named Son Goku," Dodoria added unhappily.
"Tch… reviving such a useless person. What a waste!"
"I know," Frieza chuckled.
"But who said I'm going to Earth?"
"You're not?" Zarbon was stunned.
"Didn't Vegeta and Nappa mention it?" Frieza said lightly.
"The one who made the Dragon Balls should be a Namekian. If Earth has Dragon Balls, then Namek must have them too!"
"As expected of Lord Frieza!"
Zarbon and Dodoria hurriedly flattered him.
"Prepare at once. We're heading to Namek!" Frieza ordered decisively.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!"
Both bowed deeply.
"By the way, how long will it take to reach Namek?" Frieza asked Dodoria.
"About fourteen days, Lord Frieza," Dodoria replied.
"Fourteen days…" Frieza's grin widened as he let out eerie laughter.
"In fourteen days, my wish will be fulfilled. Ho ho ho ho!"
"Lord Frieza, may I ask what wish you intend to make?" Zarbon asked curiously.
"I, Frieza, of course want immortality," Frieza said with a soft laugh.
