Cooler stared at Goku for a long time, then realized what he was seeing, screaming: "Super Saiyan! You are the legendary Super Saiyan!"
For ages, boring legends had circulated among the Frost Demons, and no one had ever paid attention to them. Could they be true? Cooler didn't want to believe it, but the facts before him forced him to accept it.
Cooler, who was usually indifferent and aloof, rarely showed a flustered expression, feeling deeply disturbed.
When the two stood still, the air was stagnant, the clouds motionless, and everything moved to their rhythm.
Suddenly, Cooler couldn't bear it and attacked first!
Goku struck from behind, faster! He flew to Cooler's side, then unleashed a series of violent punching combinations. The explosive power poured out without restraint. Cooler dodged left and right, but he wasn't as fast as Goku. BOOM!
The ground shook as Cooler was forced back.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body flew out like a fired shell, unable to control his direction.
Goku quickly appeared in the path of Cooler's trajectory, waiting for his arrival with a heavy hammer prepared in advance. Just as Cooler flew toward him, Goku slammed down with a "BANG," striking Cooler's head with both hands and driving him into the ground. The soil collapsed and the earth shook.
To minimize damage to the planet, Goku had controlled his power and concentrated all attacks on Cooler.
The enraged Cooler flew up from the crater and charged toward Goku, but was stopped by a single hand. The horrified Cooler was slightly stunned, then Goku kicked his abdomen violently. Pain spread instantly throughout his body as Cooler doubled over, clutching his stomach.
"HAA!" Goku extended one hand and with all his strength, sent Cooler crashing to the ground, blasting apart the ruins.
Cooler, lying on his back in the debris, was gasping for breath. Cracks appeared in the white armor-like shell on his body, blood dripped from his forehead, and he was already in shambles.
"Damn... wild monkey!"
Just as he screamed, the golden figure had already leaped before him and punched him hard in the face.
Cooler spat blood with a "poof," his features contorting.
"Get off Earth!" Goku grabbed Cooler and threw him aside forcefully.
This statement made Cooler laugh - there were still Saiyans like this? How strange. His laughter made him wince. "Hahahaha, you just want to drive me away? I'm going to kill you!"
"If you persist in this madness, I can only kill you." Goku glanced coldly, without any fear.
"I am Frieza's older brother, and I have more power than him. Did you know that Frieza has the ability to transform?" Seeing Goku frown, Cooler laughed wildly. "I also have the ability to transform, and I'm far superior to Frieza!"
"What?!"
"Let me show you - my ultimate transformation is far beyond your imagination."
Cooler wiped the blood from his mouth with a wicked smile, his face full of malicious joy. He stood up shakily, clenched his fists, and released radiant energy. His transformation could increase his combat power several times that of Frieza!
The only downside was that this transformation took considerable time. However, what made Cooler stronger than King Cold was that he often went out to fight personally, had better control over his body, and greatly shortened the transformation time.
"Goku, don't let him transform!" Tien, having received Yamcha's remaining ki, rushed over.
He knew that once Goku's fighting enthusiasm was mobilized, he might desperately want to battle Cooler's ultimate form. Although he trusted Goku, it was too dangerous to bet Earth's peace and future on the outcome.
Goku was reminded by Tien, and his fighting spirit wavered slightly. Originally, he really had wanted to fight to the death against Cooler's ultimate form as Tien thought, but at this moment he suddenly hesitated.
At that moment, Tien had already rushed above Cooler, who was gathering energy, crossing his fingers to form a diamond shape. "Tri-Beam!"
Going all out!
"Get lost!" While accumulating power, Cooler was still able to react. With a movement of his eyes, fierce energy directly deflected the Tri-Beam and even knocked Tien away.
The surroundings collapsed, and the force swept across like a storm through wilderness.
Seeing Tien fall, Goku also blasted out a ki wave, trying to stop Cooler.
BOOM—
The Super Saiyan's shockwave power reacted differently. The light was intense, as if a second sun had risen on the ground. The dazzling brilliance made it impossible to open one's eyes. The surrounding land was swallowed by energy, and smoke and dust flew skyward guided by air currents.
"Did it work?" Tien was thrown far away, fell to the ground, and couldn't help getting excited seeing the smoke and dust.
But where the light faded, a powerful aura rose up - several times stronger than before - instantly crushing Tien's excitement.
Cooler's ultimate form.
"After all, it's a step too late. Hehehe... You're amazing for driving me to this point, but today is the day all Monkey die!" Cooler let out a savage roar, his cruel red eyes piercing through the thin layer of smoke to meet Goku's gaze directly.
After transformation, Cooler's body had grown considerably. His head changed from round to a crown with four sharp horns, greatly improving protection. The wrist guards on both arms extended sharp edges that split the air with slight movements, making sharp sounds, their floating cold gleam inspiring fear. Additionally, the original shell became larger, covering almost all vulnerable parts of his body - even his teeth were protected.
The Frost Demon clan was truly terrifying - not only with strong vitality, but also powerful energy and evolutionary ability! The only weakness of such a race was their small numbers; otherwise the seventh universe would be dominated by this advanced species.
Cooler's body was surrounded by wind barriers, pushing outward layer by layer, forming windstorms sweeping in all directions, scraping across the ground like razors. Flowing clouds were strangled, torn and elongated like tassels, making sharp sounds.
"So strong... that ki!" Tien licked his dry lips, his voice trembling.
"How is it? Have you realized my terror? Throughout history, you can count on one hand those lucky enough to see my transformation at this level. You're fortunate to die by my hands!"
Goku didn't answer - his face said everything. Even with his strength pushed to the extreme at this moment, facing Cooler's overwhelming power, he could only feel awe.
But Saiyans were never afraid of battle - they always grew braver as they fought.
"I'm more excited!" Goku's ki also increased slightly during the confrontation. Being able to gradually grow stronger in battle was what made Kakarot so formidable!
The golden energy flame collided with white fluorescent light, sparks flying in the air as thunder exploded.
Cooler's eyes moved as he flew toward Goku. Goku took his stance, but couldn't see his opponent's figure!
So fast...
