NOVEL WEB Chapter 76: CHAPTER 76
c76: Li Xu's Judgment
The violent storm of energy cleared, revealing King Cold's transformed figure looming in front of Li Xu.
His head was now elongated and dome-shaped with protruding horns, and the armored plates on his shoulders had expanded outward like jagged wings a transformation resembling Frieza's second form, both grotesque and menacing.
More importantly, his power level had now doubled to roughly 200 million, his ki flooding the area with a suffocating pressure.
"Saiyan, you'll regret rejecting my offer to serve me," Cold sneered, his voice thick with contempt and overconfidence.
"Heh… my blood's boiling all over!" Goku grinned with excitement, his Super Saiyan aura crackling violently. His battle instincts sharpened, and his entire body pulsed with the thrill of the challenge.
"That's Son Goku for you," Li Xu thought silently, impressed. "Even against a stronger opponent, he treats the battle like a blessing not a burden."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a flash, Goku and Cold vanished from view, only to reappear mid-air, exchanging furious blows. Each impact produced a shockwave that distorted the sky, sending concentric white ripples outward like shattered glass.
Their fists, elbows, and knees collided at blinding speed, whipping up a hurricane of energy and dust it looked as though the entire world of Namek trembled under their clash.
Elsewhere on Namek, Gohan had just eliminated a squad of Cold's soldiers when he felt the immense surge of energy erupt from the battlefield. He turned sharply toward the distant aura.
"That's Dad!"
"Tch…!" Piccolo muttered, tossing aside a fallen opponent. The overwhelming pressure coming from Goku's direction made even his seasoned body flinch instinctively.
"Should we go?" Krillin asked, unsure, his hands clenched. He didn't want to rush in carelessly, but something deep inside urged him forward.
"My dad's there it'll be fine!" Li Yi assured them. With Bra beside him, he took off without hesitation.
"Son Goku!" Piccolo yelled, charging after them, fully aware that he was outclassed but unwilling to stay behind.
"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan followed his mentor closely, determination blazing in his eyes.
Tien and Krillin exchanged a glance, then nodded. Though their power paled in comparison, their martial hearts were unwavering. Strength alone wouldn't stop them from standing alongside their comrades.
Back at the battlefield, Goku and King Cold's battle had reached its peak. Their bodies were now cloaked in blazing auras golden for Goku and deep violet for Cold like two colliding stars in orbit.
"You damn Saiyan!" Cold snarled, irritated by his failure to dominate the fight despite his power boost.
Zzzap! Zzzap!
Cold extended two fingers from his right hand, unleashing a flurry of Death Beams the same precision energy attacks his sons used to devastating effect.
Goku zipped through the oncoming beams, vanishing and reappearing between them in a blur. In an instant, he appeared in front of Cold and smashed a fist into his gut.
"Gaaah!"
Cold's eyes bulged as the air was driven from his lungs. His torso folded like a kicked can, his mouth spilling bile.
Without hesitation, Goku grabbed Cold by the arm, spun several times, and hurled him toward a nearby cliff.
BOOM!
Cold crashed into the rock face, embedding deeply before the entire cliffside shattered into thousands of fragments.
"Tch... what a letdown," Li Xu muttered. "Even with a 50 million power advantage, he's still losing. His combat instincts are leagues behind Frieza's."
"RAAAAAH!"
Enraged, Cold erupted from the rubble, his power lashing out like a cyclone. The stones beneath him disintegrated under the pressure of his expanding aura.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
But unlike Gohan, whose rage fueled spikes in combat strength, Cold's fury only dulled his precision. He charged at Goku blindly, his massive fists flailing in an undisciplined barrage.
At that moment, Li Yi and Bra arrived, descending from above.
"Dad!" Li Yi called out.
"Good job this time," Li Xu praised with a small smile, gently ruffling their hair. He had kept a mental lock on their positions the entire time ready to step in the moment they were in danger.
"Mom, can you make a mini bracelet like that for me too?" Bra asked, eyes sparkling as she looked at the miniaturized Bulma AI assistant floating near Li Xu. The compact holographic tech amused her greatly.
"Of course. Once this is all over, I'll make you one just like it," Bulma replied with a warm smile. Her mind was already working through the blueprint adjustments.
Moments later, Piccolo, Krillin, and the others arrived, touching down one after another after sensing the seismic-level energy clash.
"Goku's really on another level… even that monster can't handle him," Krillin muttered in disbelief as he watched Son Goku pummel King Cold known as Kurd in this context into submission.
Om!
Suddenly, Li Xu's expression turned serious as he gazed up into the sky, locking on to a rapidly approaching energy signature a malicious, tyrannical force that sent tremors through the very air.
Piccolo, Krillin, and the others also sensed it, and their faces tensed with grim recognition.
"That's Frieza…" Krillin said quietly, a chill running down his spine. Even after everything, Frieza's ki was unmistakable cold, calculated, and full of vengeance.
"And he's not alone," Gohan added with a furrowed brow. "There are dozens of energy readings, and one of them is strong… not quite like Frieza, but close."
"Son Goku!" Li Xu shouted toward the battlefield, voice cutting through the noise. "Finish off Cold now! We've got a bigger threat landing!"
"Got it!" Goku answered back, eyes narrowing as he turned serious. He could feel Frieza's dark energy approaching like a tidal wave, instantly draining his interest in prolonging the fight with Cold.
BOOM!
With a powerful uppercut to the gut, Goku sent Cold flying backward, staggering him mid-air. Cold's transformation had worn him down his battle power was fluctuating wildly, his stamina clearly suffering from long-term inactivity in his final form.
"You're out of your league. Just leave Namek," Goku said, already powering down from his Super Saiyan form and turning to fly back toward Li Xu.
But as Goku left, Cold bloodied but not beaten rose into the air, a wicked grin curling his lip as he conjured a massive energy sphere, dark violet and crackling with destructive ki.
"Heh… DIE WITH THIS, MONKEY!" Cold bellowed, hurling the orb directly at Namek's surface.
His intention was clear: destroy the planet. He assumed Goku and the Saiyans, being alive, couldn't survive in space while members of the Frost Demon Clan like him and Frieza could. If he couldn't win in battle, he'd end it with annihilation.
"Crap!" Goku's eyes widened as he immediately transformed again into Super Saiyan, blasting off toward the energy ball.
But Li Xu moved first.
Having anticipated Cold's desperation, Li Xu had been watching closely. The moment Cold raised his hand, Li Xu used Instant Transmission, appearing directly under the descending orb.
His palms glowed as he gathered energy, channeling the iconic wave between them.
"Kamehameha!"
The brilliant blue beam shot forth, colliding with Cold's energy sphere mid-air. For a moment, the two energy waves crackled and churned against each other then the Kamehameha began overpowering the unstable blast.
"NO!" Cold screamed, raising his arms instinctively.
But it was too late.
Both energy spheres slammed back into him, and the resulting explosion launched Cold into the sky like a meteor, spiraling uncontrollably before disappearing into the upper atmosphere his body consumed by the very energy he unleashed.
