"Y-You mean… you can still get stronger?" Goku asked, genuinely surprised.
This Frieza really is incredible.
Even after becoming Super Saiyan Two, I only barely surpassed him.
He's far stronger than the Frieza from my timeline.
For a moment, Goku almost didn't have the heart to kill him.
If he kept Frieza around as a sparring partner, his own growth would be twice as fast with half the effort.
Of course, that was only if Frieza stayed away from Earth.
If he dared try to destroy Earth, Goku wouldn't hesitate to erase him.
"Son Goku, prepare to die!" Frieza sneered coldly.
On the Supreme Kai's World, everyone stared wide-eyed at the crystal ball.
"Frieza's been beaten this badly, yet he still looks confident…" Yamcha muttered.
"Can he really get stronger?" Krillin scratched his head.
"Don't tell me he can transform again?" Tien asked.
Everyone turned to Old Kai.
"Don't look at me! I don't know!" Old Kai snorted.
"He's already in his strongest form," Supreme Kai said firmly.
"There's no way he can transform again."
"I agree," Kibito echoed.
"Thank goodness Mr. Goku brought us here," the Grand Elder sighed.
"I never imagined Frieza could be this terrifying."
Frieza's smile widened.
Suddenly, his body erupted with brilliant golden light.
Boundless energy burst from him.
In an instant, his entire form was engulfed in gold.
"H-He… did Frieza turn into a Super Saiyan too?" Yamcha cried out in shock.
"Is Frieza even a Saiyan? He doesn't look like one," Tien muttered.
Krillin: "..."
Supreme Kai: "..."
Grand Elder: "..."
Everyone else was speechless.
That's not Super Saiyan, okay?!
Goku stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long moment.
"Hohohoho!" Frieza laughed wildly, delighted by Goku's expression.
"Surprised, Son Goku? Didn't expect this, did you? According to your naming system, this is called… Golden Frieza!"
Goku's expression grew serious.
He raised his guard instantly.
He could clearly sense it now.
Frieza's energy had completely surpassed his.
How is he this strong?
Back on his planet, I crushed him easily…
"So? How about it, Son Goku?" Frieza laughed, raising one finger.
"Ten seconds. I only need ten seconds to put you on the ground!"
"With your current power," Goku admitted calmly,
"My present form really can't beat you."
"And you're still smiling?!" Frieza snapped.
He was about to attack—
"Wait, Frieza!" Goku waved hurriedly.
"What? Begging already? Too late!" Frieza sneered.
"No. I'm going to transform again first. Then we'll fight properly."
Goku roared.
Golden flames exploded outward.
His aura surged violently, spreading in all directions.
The shockwave pierced through space itself and reached the Supreme Kai's World.
"Crack… crack… crack…"
Lightning became denser, roaring around him.
His hair rapidly grew longer, flowing past his waist.
His eyebrows vanished, sinking deep into his brow ridge, giving him a fierce, almost demonic look.
Everyone watching was stunned.
"Th-That's Goku's ki? It reached us from Namek?" Krillin murmured.
"No way… That's impossible!" Kibito gasped.
"This is terrifying… A human's energy reaching the Supreme Kai's World!" Supreme Kai exclaimed.
"Lord Supreme Kai… he's stronger than Majin Buu now, right?" Kibito asked excitedly.
Supreme Kai nodded silently.
Too strong.
Goku was terrifyingly powerful now.
His aura shook the entire planet.
"So this is his true strength…" Old Kai muttered.
On Namek, Piccolo stood frozen, mouth hanging open.
Are you kidding me?
Why did I even come here?
I'd get one-shot instantly!
Frieza: "..."
Frieza was stunned too.
He had never seen this transformation before.
Though he couldn't sense Goku's ki, the planet's violent tremors told him everything.
"T-This…" Frieza stammered.
"Frieza, this is another of my forms," Goku smiled.
"Super Saiyan Three."
"Super… Super Saiyan Three?!" Frieza's face twitched.
"Then I'm coming," Goku said lightly.
"Are you ready?"
"Whoosh!"
He vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared above Frieza.
Even Frieza couldn't react in time.
"Smack!"
Goku grabbed Frieza's head and yanked him upward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He unleashed a brutal barrage straight to Frieza's face.
Frieza screamed in agony.
At that moment, his face barely felt like his own anymore.
After all, Goku had been reborn from the final stage of the GT timeline.
Back then, he had mastered Super Saiyan Four to near perfection.
During the Shadow Dragon arc, his SSJ4 was almost at full power.
And in that timeline, he had been trapped in a child's body, weakening him.
Now, reborn in an adult body, his strength had returned.
Even without a tail, he retained nearly thirty percent of his peak power.
After constant battles with Frieza, he had risen to nearly forty percent.
Frieza, though also reborn, had only just mastered Golden Form before.
If this were the post–Tournament of Power Frieza…
He could have crushed this Super Saiyan Three Goku effortlessly.
