The Supreme Kai can convert flesh and blood into any substance, turning it into stone or metal. This change is permanent, provided they can make physical contact with the target.
Dabura's stone spit and Majin Buu's transfiguration beam both require energy contact.
The one who truly achieves this without any contact at all would be the Old Kai. Whether unlocking Gohan's potential or transferring life force to Son Goku, he does not need to engage in any physical or energetic contact.
The West Supreme Kai was far from that level.
Currently restricted by her body and remnant soul state, she could not exert high-level petrification abilities; physical contact was inevitable.
A layer of volatile energy shield surfaced on King Cold's wrist, isolating him from the West Supreme Kai's transmutation ability.
One wanted to transmute, the other attempted to tough it out; the two sides entered a stalemate.
The West Supreme Kai was incredibly cunning. She shouted to the figure behind her, "That Saiyan, your name is Nappa, right? Take the sword in your hand and kill King Cold! That sword can hurt him! Quick! I am the West Supreme Kai, Leila. My Sacred World of the Kai has countless treasures, secret arts, and knowledge. As long as you kill him, I am willing to share these things with you!"
Nappa was encountering this "I, so-and-so, am doing such-and-such" scam routine for the first time. He didn't know what a Supreme Kai was, but he believed that anything King Cold coveted must be a good thing. Even if he couldn't use it himself, he should be able to sell it for a high price. For a moment, he was tempted.
King Cold was encountering the Divine Power techniques of a Supreme Kai for the first time. The level of Divine Power was higher than the energy widely used in the current universe. It was like True Essence versus Internal Force; while quantity mattered, quality mattered too. Relying on the energy within his body to tough it out was a bit mismatched. The opponent used ten percent of her force, while he needed to use one hundred percent of his energy to resist. He was already struggling somewhat.
He had a gloomy expression. "Saiyan, do you dare betray me? Think of Frieza. Think of the consequences of betraying me. Now, I order you: use your sword to kill this woman. As long as you can do it, I promise that previous matters will be written off. In the future, I will put you in an important position and appoint you as my General!"
Nappa hesitated again.
Frieza?! Holy crap, just thinking about it was terrifying! That fear rooted in the depths of his memory instantly overwhelmed his greed.
"Nappa, listen to me. Kill them both. Quick! For the Saiyans! Revenge for your family members!"
Just as he was indecisive, "Vegeta's" voice rang in his heart once again.
Memories of his family surfaced in his mind once more, and Nappa felt his brain becoming chaotic for a moment.
Who should he listen to? He gripped the precious sword in his hand, completely unsure of how to choose for a moment.
The stalemate lasted for several seconds. Just as King Cold was preparing to order the three-headed wolf to circle around for a sneak attack, "Vegeta's" constant urging made Nappa make up his mind.
"For the glory of the Saiyans!" He slashed his sword toward King Cold.
With a crisp crack, King Cold freed one hand and caught the blade with his palm without expending any effort. The incomparably sharp Hero's Sword didn't even cut his skin.
Nappa's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. The courage he had just mustered vanished instantly.
He didn't know that Son Goku would get heart disease in the future, but he knew his own heart was about to explode right now!
"Vegeta" had solemnly vowed that this sword would hurt King Cold, but the result? This was your guarantee?
Most of King Cold's attention was on the West Supreme Kai. At this moment, with one hand grabbing the West Supreme Kai and the other grabbing the Hero's Sword, his tolerance for this fly, Nappa, reached its limit. Focusing part of his energy into his eyes, with a soft chi sound, two beams of crimson laser rays hit Nappa straight on.
The bald muscular man was sent flying dozens of meters by the rays, his burly body crashing all the way from the hall into the concert hall.
He lay on the ground, two bloody holes the size of bowls appearing on his chest. Even a third of his heart had been vaporized. Blood gushed out, and his life entered a countdown.
His vision was blurry, and his robust body had no strength left. Hearing the "funeral march" beside him, he subconsciously looked toward the stage on one side.
"The Rains of Castamere" played to its final note. The short scientist lowered the baton and spoke to the group of space pirates who, due to their weak combat abilities, could only perform instruments: "Gentlemen, let's end it here. It was a pleasure working with you."
The short scientist's figure slowly elongated—though frankly not by much—and soon transformed into "Vegeta" with his torch-like hairstyle.
"Vegeta... save, save..." Nappa subconsciously reached out a hand, wanting Vegeta to save him, but thinking of this person's past style of conduct, he became hesitant again.
"I have to say, your luck is actually pretty good." Hearing "Vegeta" chuckle softly, he felt completely bewildered. I've been screwed over by you to this extent, and my luck is pretty good?
Nappa's lips moved twice. Even though King Cold had been tied down by the West Supreme Kai for most of his energy, the damage from the laser rays far exceeded Nappa's physical limit. He could no longer speak.
His eyes were full of pleading, begging the other party to save him for the sake of his many years of servitude.
"Vegeta" stuffed a bottle of green potion into his hand.
"...This is?"
"Drink it. It can at least save your sorry life."
The recovery liquid learned from Old Berry had a very strong repair effect, though it usually required soaking for half a day. There was no place for Nappa to take a bath right now, but the therapeutic effect of this undiluted raw liquid was second only to a Senzu Bean. Preserving his life would be no problem.
"Vegeta? All of this was your conspiracy?!" King Cold possessed superior strength; while suppressing the West Supreme Kai, he could still spare a glance in this direction.
Seeing "Vegeta" walk out of the concert hall, he was a bit surprised.
He remembered he had knocked a Vegeta flying earlier; how had another one popped up now?
The West Supreme Kai was actually also seeing "Vegeta" for the first time. previously, she had been inside the earring using spiritual power to converse; she hadn't known if the person she was speaking to was male or female, old or young.
But she knew that she and "Vegeta" were currently in the same camp.
"Quick! Hurry up and help me! Let's kill this guy together, and I'll split the treasures of the Sacred World of the Kai with you!"
"Vegeta" nodded lightly and gave a loud shout. Immediately after, his whole body erupted with red aura, and his momentum climbed at an extremely fast speed.
King Cold immediately asked his subordinate: "What is his battle power?"
The subordinates had all been scared away by the chaotic battle between Nappa and the three-headed wolf earlier. At this moment, a few soldiers hid in the distance to run a scan and answered loudly: "...Great King, this Saiyan's battle power is, is... 2,000,000... 2,100,000, 2,200,000—no, it's 2,400,000!!"
