King Cold, in his desperation, ignored everything and sent a ki wave toward Raditz. His energy grazed the surface and shook the entire planet.
In the blink of an eye, the ground cracked, lava erupted, and the sky changed color!
Raditz knew this was trouble - layers of psychic barriers shattered at first contact, unable to resist King Cold's overwhelming power at all. In the critical moment, he still used Instant Transmission to dodge the offensive.
But King Cold was waiting for this moment. After calming down, his mind became active, and he'd already seen through Raditz's teleportation pattern. So he intentionally sent out the energy wave, waiting for Raditz to teleport to Goku and Vegeta.
In an instant, the three Saiyans gathered together while King Cold vanished from his position.
His energy flashed at high speed, coming behind the three of them to sweep them away with one punch! Vegeta was the first to be hit, and Goku resisted slightly but was also struck on the cheek. Raditz was startled, quickly raised his hands to block, and retreated tens of meters.
Such tremendous force! Indeed, a head-on clash was definitely not winnable!
"Saiyans, you all deserve to die!" King Cold grew more confident with one successful blow and chased after Vegeta, who'd lost to him once, kicking toward his abdomen. But Raditz rushed to the rescue and released a ki wave to threaten King Cold, causing him to jump away and suspend his offensive.
Suddenly, Goku rushed over again, and the afterimages of the two danced dazzlingly in the air, colliding with shockwaves that shook the world.
Raditz took the opportunity to move behind King Cold and cooperated with Goku, striking with left and right kicks. With a "BANG!" they slammed hard into King Cold's body. King Cold only blocked Goku's leg but was hit by Raditz's sweeping kick, his body tilting as his eyes filled with rage.
"HAA!" Shouting, King Cold slammed his leg down forcefully, curled his tail, and grabbed Raditz.
Immediately after, he swept Goku away with one leg and pulled Raditz to the ground.
BOOM—
The earth shook as another deep crater appeared. Raditz was pinned to the ground by King Cold, his face pressed into the dirt, his back burning with pain.
Just as King Cold was about to deliver a devastating blow, Goku kicked him in the neck, the force making him turn halfway around.
"Leave it to me!" Vegeta also rushed over, a ball of light in his hand shooting toward King Cold's abdomen, stretching into a thick beam.
BOOM! With the explosion's sound, King Cold appeared behind thick smoke, looking disheveled. Vegeta pressed his advantage, launching fierce attacks with blazing fighting spirit in his eyes, intending to defeat King Cold alone.
The series of attacks were parried by King Cold one by one, until he finally turned and elbowed Vegeta back.
Vegeta retreated to the ground, his feet carving two furrows in the earth.
"Damn!"
"It's my turn, Vegeta." Seeing this, Goku flew over next and fought with King Cold.
Golden light flew around King Cold's body, launching violent collisions from time to time. Goku was smarter than Vegeta, not taking the initiative to fight recklessly but using guerrilla tactics and succeeding several times. But King Cold was powerful after all - after dozens of rounds, Goku also suffered a heavy blow and was knocked to the ground.
The successive battles exhausted King Cold's stamina, and he couldn't stop panting.
I can't continue like this. The Super Saiyans are all powerful - prolonging this isn't good for me! I must finish them as quickly as possible!
"Huff... huff... you want to defeat me with this? Hehehahahaha! Let me give you a big gift and use this whole planet to bury you with me!"
King Cold suddenly aroused brilliant pink energy around his body, covering himself in intense aura. The powerful energy caused thunder to billow as the magnificent power connected to the ground. Lava gushed out like fountains, erupting in response to his call.
His ultimate technique - Planet Buster.
He gathered all his strength in one breath, raised his hands high, and slammed them out!
The massive shockwave was enough to engulf Raditz and the others, and the firing speed was surprisingly fast. In an instant, the pink light ball was before Goku. The bright, radiating energy sphere was about to swallow the golden flame as a tremendous roar erupted.
Raditz rushed out with a Kamehameha wave in his hands, blocking for Goku.
"Thanks, brother."
"Don't thank me yet - I don't seem to have enough power to defeat him." Raditz resisted King Cold's energy, feeling heavy pressure as his body was struck by waves, stirring his internal organs.
King Cold's full-force shockwave beat him by several points.
"Stop talking nonsense - Galick Gun!" Vegeta actually fired first, pushing out energy with both hands.
"I'm coming too!" Goku roared. "Kamehameha!"
Really can't do anything without shouting... Raditz complained internally, but his confidence was greatly boosted by the two's help. Veins bulged on his forehead as his strength reached its peak.
Brilliance flickered, stretching the three's shadows very long. Before them, three ki waves spiraled and intertwined together, merging and converging bit by bit, forming a huge light cluster at the front end, countering King Cold's Planet Buster impact.
BOOM—BOOM!
The combined attack of the three Super Saiyans suppressed King Cold instantly, and the combined beam flew forward with shattering momentum, quickly devouring King Cold's body!
"I don't accept this! AHHHHH..." King Cold roared unwillingly, finally using all his limbs, but he still couldn't escape as his heart-piercing scream was completely swallowed.
In the light, King Cold's body was dismembered, separated, shattered, and turned into nothingness...
The scattered dust dissipated, and the remaining aliens fled in panic. Their king had already died tragically - what reason did they have not to run for their lives? But Vegeta wouldn't let them go, first finishing off Frieza, then wiping out the fleeing aliens one by one.
"It's finally over."
Raditz wiped his sweat and sat down on the ground.
"That final blow was really powerful - no one person could have defeated him alone."
"Hmph, this is also the last time I'll cooperate with you. I'll never join hands again!" Vegeta turned halfway and spoke coldly.
Raditz smiled silently and let it go - that's just how Vegeta was. He lay down on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. The sky was full of clouds, the atmosphere returned to calm, the lava also stopped, and the shattered planet was inexplicably quiet.
Suddenly, a voice calling "Raditz" came from the distance, then a warm body fell directly onto Raditz. The smooth, tender touch made his mind flutter momentarily. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Zangya.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Zangya pressed against Raditz, weeping with joy. In her heart, since "grandfather" had died, Raditz was the closest person to her, and there were still some unspoken feelings in her heart. She naturally cried with relief after surviving the catastrophe.
Raditz wiped Zangya's tears away with his thumb. "I'll be fine - otherwise who would take care of you?"
Zangya blushed slightly and lowered her head, but her soft arms unconsciously embraced Raditz. Zucara, who came afterward, pursed her lips and turned her face away.
After resting for a while, Raditz found all the survivors and took them to Earth.
Coming to Earth, Raditz sought out the Dragon Balls again to bring the dead back to life. Those who returned from death were extremely emotional - after experiencing life and death, they appreciated life more deeply.
The original M187 branch could no longer be used and had to be abandoned. So Raditz sent his subordinates to find a new headquarters suitable for planetary construction and recalled the dispatched scientific and technical personnel and logistics staff.
Raditz stayed on Earth, ready to take a vacation...
