NOVEL WEB Chapter 8: CHAPTER 8
Chapter 8: Fierce Collision! Instant Transmission Exposed
"What terrifying energy… So Frieza really wasn't using his full strength before!" Krillin's voice trembled, his face dripping with cold sweat. Just sensing the pressure from afar was enough to make his knees wobble.
"H-How did he reach this level…? What kind of training did he undergo?" Master Roshi (Turtle Hermit) muttered in disbelief. Even in his centuries of martial experience, he had never sensed such intensity.
Gohan and Piccolo remained silent, watching the two combatants in the distance with grim expressions.
At this point, none of them could intervene. Frieza's energy had grown so overwhelming that he was on an entirely different plane of power. They would be wiped out instantly if they tried to join the battle now.
"That final form of his… it's honestly insane," Luya muttered, staring at the newly transformed Frieza.
This monster hadn't even bothered to test the waters. He'd skipped straight to his true form, throwing all expectations aside. Luya hadn't expected that at all—it was aggressive and efficient, the kind of ruthlessness Frieza was infamous for.
Frieza's battle power now stood at a staggering 1.5 trillion. A number once considered unthinkable during the Namek battle had become a terrifying reality.
Luya's smile faded into a grim line. "Looks like I can't hold back anymore... it's time I show you my full power."
Suddenly, the air around Luya shifted static danced in the sky.
"HAAAH!!"
With a thunderous roar, Luya's energy exploded outward like a solar flare! His black hair lifted and turned into a dazzling golden flame, spiking upward! His once calm aura ignited into a brilliant storm of golden ki.
Super Saiyan!!
The transformation shook the land, and the pressure radiating from Luya was so great that the earth beneath him cracked into fault lines.
His battle power surged from 6.5 billion to 325 billionna dramatic leap, but still far below Frieza's final form.
Frieza's eyes narrowed, the name catching in his throat. "A Super Saiyan?! You actually achieved that form?! Are you truly... a survivor of Planet Vegeta?!"
Luya smirked. "Not exactly. I'm a Super Saiyan from another universe."
That made Frieza freeze, his mind reeling. "Another… universe?"
Elsewhere, the rest of the Z Fighters were left stunned by the transformation.
Krillin gasped. "So Saiyans from other universes are this powerful?!"
Gohan clenched his fists. "Mr. Luya… I think he's surpassed my dad!"
"What?! That's impossible!" Tien Shinhan (Tenshinhan) exclaimed. "You're saying he's stronger than Goku?!"
Cold sweat trickled down Piccolo's face. "It may be hard to accept, but yes. Luya's growth rate is monstrous. He was still weaker than Gohan not long ago... but after just a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he's already broken through this level. His talent… it might even eclipse Goku's and Vegeta's."
Everyone stared at the battlefield in disbelief. Until now, the only figures who had ever surpassed Goku were gods like Beerus, or fused beings like Vegito. But now, a completely unknown Saiyan from another universe had taken that position!
And that realization was unsettling.
Luya looked over at Frieza, eyes glowing gold. "Still not enough, huh? Well then…"
"HAAAAA!!"
His aura exploded again this time, arcs of lightning burst forth from his body, spiraling into the air! The golden light around him became even more intense, shattering boulders, uprooting trees, and turning the battlefield into a wasteland.
"What?!" Frieza staggered slightly. "That power... it's still rising?!"
Krillin's voice cracked. "N-No way! That's… that's the next stage!!"
"Super Saiyan 2?!" Gohan's eyes widened. "I haven't seen that transformation since I used it against Cell...!"
Luya's roar echoed across the skies, and with a crack of thunder, the ground under his feet caved in, forming a massive crater. His golden aura had now become enveloped in constant lightning. His hair was even spikier, more intense a wild golden crown of energy.
[DING! The host has activated the transformation skill: Super Saiyan 2. Current combat power: 1.65 trillion!]
"U-Uhh…" Frieza stammered, speechless. He could feel it Luya's strength had already surpassed his own!
Luya grinned, his voice laced with mockery. "What's wrong, Frieza? Is this too much for you? Shall we keep going?"
Fwoosh!!
In a blink, Luya vanished!
Frieza grit his teeth. "Tch!" He flared his ki and disappeared as well.
BOOM! BAM! BOOM!
In the sky above, golden flashes and purple sparks collided at lightning speed! Their battle had transcended the normal limits of martial arts this was pure speed, power, and energy mastery!
The real fight had begun.
As soon as the battle began, Luya and Frieza collided at high speed. The air rippled violently with every shockwave of their fists clashing creating countless sonic booms that shattered rocks and bent the very sky. The battle was now completely beyond the perception of ordinary eyes.
Below, the Z Fighters observed tensely.
"They're too fast… I can't track their movements at all!" Tien Shinhan growled, sweat forming on his brow. Even with his three eyes, his vision couldn't follow the blinding speed at which Luya and Frieza were fighting.
Gohan frowned, his senses straining to keep up. Despite his own immense power, even he was having trouble reacting to their movements.
Only Piccolo remained calm, his Namekian eyes narrowing as he watched the fight above. Thanks to his superior biological visual acuity, he was just barely able to follow the flashes of movement streaking through the sky.
BANG!
Woooosh!
Suddenly, a figure came crashing down—it was Frieza, plummeting through the sky like a meteor!
SWOOSH!
In the next instant, Luya flashed behind him, golden aura blazing. "RAAH!!" he roared as he threw a devastating punch!
Frieza's expression contorted with alarm. He quickly countered, wrapping his tail around Luya's arm mid-attack to stop the blow.
But Luya smirked. With a burst of strength, he grabbed Frieza's tail with both hands, pivoted mid-air, and began to spin—using Frieza like a flail, hurling him in wide, brutal arcs!
"ARGHHHH!!" Frieza shouted in rage and shock, completely disoriented.
"HAA!!"
With a final burst of force, Luya launched Frieza downward like a rocket. Frieza smashed into the ground with an earth-shattering impact that carved a deep crater and bounced his body into the air from the sheer rebound.
"Take this!!" Luya shouted. A crackling golden ki sphere formed in his palm dense and blazing with power before he hurled it down like a comet.
Frieza snarled, recovering mid-air. He braced and countered with his own ki blast, violet and volatile!
BOOM!!
The two blasts collided mid-air with a titanic explosion. The shockwave sent gusts across the battlefield, forcing the Z Fighters to shield their faces.
"HAAAH!!" Luya surged out of the smoke, aura flaring, rushing toward Frieza again.
But Frieza had anticipated the attack. With a furious growl, he unleashed a barrage of ki blasts, sending them flying at Luya like rapid-fire missiles!
Caught in mid-rush, Luya crossed his arms to block as best he could but the sheer intensity of the bombardment forced him back, his golden aura flickering under the pressure.
Seeing this, Frieza cackled, releasing even more blasts in rapid succession. "DIE!!"
Luya grunted, struggling to deflect and absorb the endless energy rain. His power was visibly being drained.
"No! We've got to help him!!" Krillin panicked, fists clenched, ready to launch.
"No!" Gohan stopped him firmly, voice grim. "That kind of battle is beyond us now! If we get close, we'll only be in the way."
"But what can we do then?! Just watch him lose?! If Luya falls, Earth is finished!!" Krillin cried, desperation in his voice.
Gohan said nothing.
Then Piccolo turned toward Bulma. "Bulma! Is there any word from Goku and the others?!"
Bulma shook her head helplessly. "Nothing. We have no direct link to them. I can only contact them when Whis initiates communication from Beerus' planet!"
"Tch…" Piccolo clenched his jaw, frustration clear. "Damn it..."
Back in the sky, Frieza was grinning wide, floating triumphantly. He believed the tide had turned. "Hmph! Just as I expected! Overwhelming you with superior ki output this is where it ends!"
But at that moment
BAM!
A golden blur appeared behind Frieza—faster than he could react and punched him clean in the back!
"URGGHHHH!!" Frieza screamed, flying forward in shock. He spun around, stunned, only to see Luya floating calmly behind him, smiling coldly.
"How… how is that possible?! That's… Instant Transmission?! Isn't that Son Goku's technique?!" Gohan shouted in disbelief.
