At the slightest provocation, Raditz stared at Frieza on the island below, who remained motionless, no longer rushing recklessly to his death.
The eerie atmosphere made Raditz frown, and he suddenly felt strange.
"What's going on? Is Frieza still hiding his power?" Raditz murmured to himself.
After fighting to this extent, he believed Frieza was just bluffing.
If Frieza had any hidden power left, he would have already used it under Raditz's previous pressure.
However, within less than ten seconds, the situation on the island changed abruptly.
Countless cracks emitting a red glow suddenly appeared on Frieza's burly, transformed body.
The process was like shedding skin, astonishing everyone.
A creature resembling an alien monster emerged from Frieza's original shell, accompanied by a terrifying, bloody aura.
"What?! You can still transform?!" Raditz was shocked as he looked at the now more monstrous Frieza.
But after thinking about his immense strength, he calmed down.
He slowly descended and finally landed on the island as well.
No matter what, he would crush Frieza once again!
The confidence brought by his powerful strength left Raditz without a trace of doubt about himself.
Even though he felt Frieza's drastically changed aura, it couldn't shake his belief.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ginyu was already too excited to contain himself.
Witnessing Frieza's transformation made his admiration and respect for Frieza grow even more.
"I knew it, King Frieza was just toying with that wild monkey before!"
"But now that King Frieza has transformed again, this Raditz is no longer a concern! It's just a pity about that powerful body."
"Wait... hehehe... maybe, I can take this chance to swap bodies with that wild monkey at the last moment!"
"By then, my combat power will reach that level too."
Ginyu began to scheme.
He even neglected to protect the Dragon Balls.
...
On the island.
The transformed Frieza stared at Raditz's descent with blood-red eyes.
No longer exhibiting the behavior of his first transformation, Frieza's power after the second transformation gave him enough confidence to crush this wild monkey.
As for only being in his second transformation and not the final third form, he kept a reserve for himself, not wanting to reveal everything at once.
However, he did unlock part of it.
His second form could directly complete the final transformation if anything went wrong.
"Wild monkey, I'm sorry to tell you I've grown tired of playing! Now, it's time for you to die." With his power significantly increased, Frieza instantly shot forward.
His bizarre body moved like a wild beast.
The speed shocked Raditz, who swung a punch the next moment, hitting only empty air.
"What?!" His pupils contracted as Raditz suddenly felt a crisis, quickly turning around and crossing his arms to protect his chest.
"Boom!!!" A loud explosion.
In his second form, Frieza somehow appeared behind him, kicking him away directly.
The immense force ravaged Raditz's body.
Raditz felt as if his arms were being torn apart; the pain was unbearable.
"How is this possible... Is this the true form and real power of the emperor of the universe, Frieza?" Forcing himself to steady his stance, Raditz gritted his teeth and launched a series of attacks, sending several energy blasts toward Frieza.
Frieza ignored them completely.
Such low-level attacks; did he even need to dodge them?
The fierce battle erupted once again!
However, this time, the battle turned into Raditz being completely passive.
Frieza dominated the battlefield, making all the Z warriors gasp in shock.
Who could have predicted things would escalate to this point?
"It's so scary, my uncle will be killed at this rate," Gohan's voice echoed, striking everyone's hearts.
His perception was accurate.
The killing intent Frieza was emitting was terrifying.
Even though Raditz was strong, there was still a gap.
"What should we do now? With our strength, we can't help at all, Goku," Krillin said.
Tien and Yamcha agreed, sharing the same thought.
At this point, only Goku and Piccolo were qualified to intervene.
"I've said it before, Raditz is too arrogant! He thought he was strong enough to do whatever he wanted! He should have finished off Frieza just now; now the chance is gone," Vegeta interjected.
It was clear he blamed Raditz for not striking.
Though somewhat annoyed with Vegeta, everyone couldn't deny his words were true.
After thinking for a long time, Goku said, "Let's wait a bit longer. Even though Frieza transformed again and strengthened, my brother might not lose."
A temporary setback; the actual result was still unclear.
...
The battle continued, and Raditz could no longer overwhelm Frieza with ease.
Now, he could only use all his strength to resist Frieza's second transformation.
Under the absolute suppression of Frieza's power, Raditz once again felt like he was being toyed with.
His combat power was indeed still increasing.
But at this point, the gap was too large to be bridged by a slight boost.
The difference in their power was too significant. Confirming Raditz was at his limit, Frieza smirked and toyed with him.
"Wild monkey, where's that arrogance now? You weren't like this a moment ago! Keep entertaining me," Frieza taunted. Each attack broke through Raditz's defense, causing immense damage.
In a short time, Raditz's condition became similar to when Frieza had just transformed.
Covered in wounds, his blood-stained his battle suit.
Perhaps bored, Frieza's eyes flashed with a killing intent.
In an instant, he attacked without holding back.
A crushing blow landed on Raditz's weak spot.
'Boom!!!!' The heavy strike embedded itself into Raditz's chest and abdomen.
The terrible force swept through Raditz's body, severely damaging his internal organs, making it difficult for him to breathe, and momentarily shutting down his brain.
'Gah!!!!' Blood spurted from his mouth, his sturdy battle suit destroyed, and his body flew back like a broken kite.
He crashed into a mountain on a distant island near Captain Ginyu, finally stopping.
His body was covered in rubble, and his abdomen's excruciating pain made him lose the ability to fight.
At this moment, Raditz's face was bleak. Frieza's blow almost took his life.
Before he could recover, the white-purple light flashing in the sky made his hair stand on end, sensing a deadly crisis.
"Wild monkey, take your dream of becoming a Super Saiyan and die." With these words, the destructive energy in Frieza's palm intensified.
This was aimed at killing Raditz.
He could feel the unimaginable destructive power contained in that energy ball.
"Is this the end for me? Damn it..." Raditz's expression was dazed as if he saw death beckoning him.
"Stop right there!!!!!!" At the same time, knowing he couldn't wait any longer, Goku burst out, charging forward.
His body ignited with crimson energy, using the double Kaio-ken, and his combat power surged past two million points.
Like an aurora, Goku's movement drew everyone's attention, including Frieza.
Raditz, who thought he was doomed, couldn't believe his brother once again saved him.
Goku's appearance sent Frieza's destructive energy ball flying ten thousand meters into the sky.
The terrifying explosion darkened the sky.
This scene was like the end of the world.
