Chapter 192 The Price of Pride: The Laughter of Golden Frieza
All eyes were focused on the still scene in the center of the arena.
The Saiyan prince Vegeta, that proud warrior to the core, was now completely stiff, like a stone statue.
A long sword wreathed in black flames was casually pressed against his throat. The piercing coldness emanating from the sword tip made him unable to even lift a finger.
He lost.
They didn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes.
Vegeta's mind went blank; he couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Why were his fists, capable of tearing planets apart, and his movement faster than the speed of light, so laughable in front of that red-haired man, like a wooden stick wielded by a three-year-old child?
It was a crushing force descending from a higher dimension, unrelated to power or speed.
It was a way of fighting that he had never encountered before, or even imagined.
"Hehe...hehehehehe..."
A sharp, piercing laugh, filled with endless mockery and glee, suddenly broke the suffocating silence from behind the Seventh Universe's ranks.
It's Frieza.
His short body trembled slightly from the extreme pleasure, and his scarlet eyes were filled with gloating.
"That's really ugly, Vegeta."
Frieza strolled out slowly, each step seeming to tread on Vegeta's fragile pride.
"The dignified Saiyan prince was actually defeated by a primitive man who couldn't even release his breath and only knew how to swing iron plates?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if this gets out, what will become of your Saiyan reputation?"
Every word was like a poisoned steel needle, precisely piercing Vegeta's most sensitive and painful spot.
primitive……
This word completely ignited Vegeta's suppressed anger and humiliation to the extreme.
"Frieza—!!"
With a heart-wrenching roar, Vegeta's body was instantly enveloped in a raging blue aura! Ignoring the sword at his throat, he whirled around, completely disregarding the rules of the match, his hands clasped at his waist, aiming at the nemesis he had hated all his life.
A dazzling purple light gathered wildly in his palm!
"Gallic Cannon!!!"
A torrent of purple energy tore through the air, carrying all of Vegeta's anger and resentment, and hurtled toward Frieza!
However, Frieza just sneered dismissively.
"Useless monkey, all he knows are these little tricks."
A flash of golden light disappeared in an instant, and Frieza transformed into his noble and powerful golden form.
He didn't even adopt any defensive stance; he simply casually stretched out a hand and gently patted the devastating torrent of energy.
boom!
The Galic Cannon, an attack powerful enough to destroy a planet, vanished instantly like scattered dust, turning into countless points of light that disappeared without a trace.
"What?" Golden Frieza tilted his head, looking down at Vegeta with a contemptuous gaze. "Losing one match isn't enough; do you want to be killed by my own hand before the match even begins?"
The internal contradictions of the Seventh Universe were completely ignited at this moment.
Sun Wukong watched this scene with a solemn expression, while Piccolo was ready to intervene at any moment.
Beerus, the God of Destruction, was visibly impatient. He rubbed his forehead in frustration, feeling his blood pressure soaring.
"What a bunch of troublemakers!"
Only the High Priest, with his ever-present gentle smile, watched this sudden farce with great interest, as if he were enjoying an interesting drama.
Just then, Shanks slowly sheathed his sword, the crisp sound of metal returning to its sheath strangely suppressing all the noise on the field.
He calmly watched Vegeta, who was acting like a madman.
"Your power is immense, Saiyan prince. But your strength relies too heavily on bursts of energy, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment."
"And my power comes from 'will'."
Shanks' words were not loud, but they clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Until your will can supersede my domineering aura, all your attacks will never be able to touch me."
These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Vegeta from head to toe.
The blue aura around him began to fluctuate violently, eventually slowly receding back into his body.
Willpower...dominance...
Vegeta stared intently at Shanks, his frenzied rage fading, replaced by an unprecedented sense of shock and bewilderment.
For the first time, he began to seriously consider and think about this completely new power system called "Haki," which was entirely different from "KI."
It turns out there are people who fight like this in the universe.
It turns out that the power I was so proud of was so... vulnerable in the face of another system.
The farce of the preliminary battle has now come to an end.
The high priest smiled and announced that the match would continue.
"Next match, Universe 13, Charlotte Linlin."
"Against Universe 7, Android 17."
Wearing a pink dress, the massive BIGMOM, who looked like a small mountain, licked her lips, carried the giant sword "Napoleon" onto the arena, and her eyes gleamed with a thirst for souls.
Her opponent was a black-haired young man dressed as a park ranger with an indifferent expression.
One is the Soul Queen, who can extract the souls of all things.
The other is a soulless android with unlimited energy.
This duel was destined from the very beginning to be a battle of natural restraint.
However, just a second before the two were about to make their move.
At the highest point of the Realm of Nothingness, atop the floating throne, the two Omni-Kings, who had been idly watching the match below, suddenly spoke at the same time.
"I'm so bored..."
"Ugh, so boring."
One of the Omni-Kings, dangling his short legs, suddenly pointed a finger at the tiny black-haired guy in the Thirteenth Universe team who had been yawning the whole time.
"That short guy!"
"The smallest one!"
The two Omni-Kings spoke in unison, in an unquestionable, childlike, willful tone.
"He doesn't seem to have made a move yet."
"Hey, High Priest!"
"Now, immediately! Make him fight that Sun Wukong!"
This sudden, completely unreasonable demand plunged the entire Realm of Nothingness into an even more deathly silence than before.
Everyone's heart was in their throat at that moment.
