Goku and Piccolo did not fully understand Lin Chu and Raditz's cryptic conversation.
But neither Goku nor Piccolo were fools; they quickly realized that besides Vegeta, there might be other forces eyeing Earth as well.
That entity was likely the repeatedly mentioned Frieza.
A bizarre and hard-to-imagine name.
From the conversation, they gathered precise information that Raditz and his group belonged to the so-called Frieza Force, with Frieza presumably being the leader.
"Brother and Talos... I mean, it's easier just to call you Lin Chu."
"Who is this Frieza you speak of? You seem so cautious about him. Could it be that his power level is even higher than 18,000?"
Goku couldn't help but ask directly.
Only someone as straightforward as him would urgently seek the truth.
Others might not ask so bluntly, preferring to wait for Lin Chu and Raditz to explain voluntarily, like Piccolo.
Piccolo, more composed than Goku, knew they couldn't fully grasp the current situation yet. Venturing further into such a vast topic could easily overwhelm them.
But since Goku had asked, Piccolo couldn't just ignore it and not care.
"18,000 points, haha! Kakarot, you should know that although we Saiyans call ourselves a warrior race and think we're superior, in front of a true cosmic emperor, we're less than ants."
"The universe is vast! Not just our strength, even the so-called most talented Saiyan warrior, our Prince Vegeta, with a power level of 18,000, is nothing more than a minor character in front of Emperor Frieza, hardly an elite."
"Being on Earth, you are like frogs in a well, unable to understand."
Raditz's direct response once again shocked Goku and Piccolo.
"Universe emperor?!"
"A power level of 18,000, just a minor character?!"
Goku and Piccolo could hardly imagine this.
It completely overturned the worldview they had just started to build.
They had thought Vegeta, with a power level of 18,000, was an unparalleled warrior.
Now, this warrior they considered unparalleled was insignificant in front of the cosmic emperor.
"Can you imagine the terror? Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness, but you can magnify the terror you imagine by a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!" Raditz looked down on Goku and Piccolo with disdain.
At that moment, he could only leverage his greater knowledge to assert his presence in front of them.
Lin Chu chuckled from the side: "Actually, you don't need to scare them so much. Frieza is indeed terrifying, but not to the extent you describe."
These words made Raditz feel dizzy.
He was almost driven mad.
If Lin Chu had previously hidden his true power level, Raditz might have believed it, but he found it hard to accept such a statement about Frieza.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? That's Frieza!!!" Raditz stared at Lin Chu, seeking an answer.
Goku and Piccolo looked towards Lin Chu again.
At this moment, they were like two bottles in the ocean, drifting with the waves.
"From your position, you naturally know a lot. But similarly, your perspective also limits you."
"As the cosmic emperor, Frieza is indeed powerful, but you only know he is strong, not how strong he truly is. So, you think he's an impossible existence."
"Now, I can tell you, Frieza's power level..."
Lin Chu paused.
Discussing Frieza's information now could have been more timely.
But since it was mentioned, it had to be avoided.
Without mentioning Frieza's transformations and ultimate power level, it might also encourage Goku, Piccolo, and the other Z fighters of this era to strive for greater strength and become stronger faster.
Imagine when Vegeta and Nappa arrive on Earth in a year to find the Z fighters' power levels generally exceeding ten thousand or even several tens of thousands. What would their expressions be like?
Lin Chu was quite looking forward to seeing Vegeta and Nappa's shattered mental state.
"Do you say you know Frieza's power level? How could you know such confidential information that even Vegeta is unaware of?" Raditz pressed for an answer.
Doubt?
No!
He felt Lin Chu wouldn't lie; otherwise, they wouldn't be conversing like this.
"How I know it, does it matter? From what I know, Frieza's power level should be 530,000!" Lin Chu said, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
530,000!
For any existence of this era, that was an astronomical figure.
Whether it's Earth's Z fighters or Vegeta with a power level of 18,000, it was unimaginable.
Raditz's mind went blank, as did Goku and Piccolo.
's eyes widened in disbelief.
This was the cosmic emperor!
Lin Chu was very pleased with their reactions. For them, even a few thousand power levels were an unimaginable existence, let alone 530,000.
From 1,500 to Lin Chu's, previously shown as 5,000, to 18,000, and finally, 530,000.
Their worldview was built and collapsed again and again three or four times.
If those present weren't battle-hardened warriors with strong acceptance abilities, they might have been scared senseless.
Frankly, if Lin Chu weren't a transmigrator who knew the original storyline, even if he continued to train and his power became formidable, he would still be shocked by such a figure.
After all, you might spend decades striving only to reach tens of thousands in power level. How could you compare to hundreds of thousands?
It was like an egg striking a rock, shattering on impact.
Of course, even now, Lin Chu would feel fear if he truly faced Frieza.
He could only avoid the sharp edge for now and conceal himself.
Regardless, his current power level was only nearly 20,000, and even Frieza's underlings, Dodoria and Zarbon, could crush him.
Luckily, he also had ample time to train and grow stronger, and he had an infinite power level enhancement system.
Right now, he indeed couldn't face Frieza, but in a year, Lin Chu was absolutely confident he could crush Frieza!
...
Meanwhile.
At this moment, Kami, who had been monitoring the situation from the Lookout, had a purple face and was breathing heavily.
In this short time, he heard too many unimaginable things, realizing he had been completely outpaced by the times.
Initially, Kami thought that even if those stronger Saiyans arrived on Earth, Goku and Piccolo, after a year of intense training with his help, might stand a chance in battle.
Even if they were outmatched, he had one last move: willingly fusing with Piccolo to enhance his strength.
But now, with the cosmic emperor emerging, even if all his trump cards were revealed, could they compare?
Their power levels were only in the hundreds...
Thousands were unimaginable; tens of thousands were a dream.
Hundreds of thousands... beyond description.
