Raditz had no idea how strong Frieza was. Even on the few occasions when he had followed Frieza on campaigns, he had never seen their boss, Frieza, truly fight anyone.
So, in Raditz's eyes, as an ignorant fellow, a battle power of over one hundred thousand was enough to dominate the universe. Frieza was definitely not as strong as the legendary Super Saiyan.
Now, hearing a different answer, Raditz's first reaction was to argue back.
"Do you mean you know Frieza's battle power?"
"Of course!" As the plot gradually drifted further from its original course, Ethan no longer cared about revealing a little more information. As for where this information came from, Ethan had already prepared an explanation, though if no one asked, he could save his breath. "Frieza's battle power is at least over 500,000!"
"What?"
Raditz could not comprehend what a battle power of 500,000 meant. How powerful was that? Someone like him could probably be killed by a single breath from the other side.
"How is that possible?"
Krillin and the others, who had long known about Frieza's power but lacked a direct understanding of it, finally realized why Ethan placed so much importance on Frieza.
"500,000..."
So Goku's power being less than one-third of Frieza's was not an exaggeration after all.
"However, it doesn't seem impossible to defeat him. Goku still has the Kaio-ken!"
"That's right!"
Raditz also thought of another point. If Kakarot got his tail back, then even without the Kaio-ken, he could still increase his battle power by transforming into a Great Ape.
A tenfold increase in battle power would be enough to defeat Frieza with his 500,000 battle power.
"Hmph, as expected, we Saiyans are still the strongest."
"..."
Ethan really did not know what to say about these brainless guys anymore.
"You don't think Saiyans are the only ones in the entire universe who can transform, do you?"
Frieza could transform, and he could do it three times, but Ethan was not planning to reveal that immediately. Letting everyone know that Frieza could transform was enough for now.
As for his maximum battle power reaching 120 million, it was enough for Ethan to know that himself. As long as Ethan kept an eye on things, no one would recklessly rush off to die before they were strong enough.
He just needed to prove that transformation was not something exclusive to Saiyans.
Fortunately, there was someone right beside him who could prove that point.
"Yoruichi!"
"Me? Just so you know, if I lose control after transforming and cause trouble, I'm not taking responsibility!"
Everyone turned to look at Yoruichi. They had not expected her to also possess the ability to transform.
"This... you're not going to turn into a Great Ape like Goku, are you? If so, we'd better go find an open area."
"My transformation isn't that exaggerated. There isn't much change in size."
After giving Ethan a sidelong glance, Yoruichi finally used her Black Cat War Princess transformation under everyone's expectant gaze.
As a vast amount of energy continuously surged out, Goku also sensed a peculiar power being released from her. Yoruichi's appearance began to change to a certain degree.
Her transformation was not fast. It took quite a while for her to complete it. But looking at the form with a pair of cat ears, an extra cat tail behind her, and a tangible aura wrapped around her body, under the cover of energy, her hands also seemed to have turned into sharp claws.
These were only superficial changes. While the transformed Yoruichi looked somewhat cute, the change in her battle power was even more terrifying.
Even while just standing still, powerful air currents kept surging from her body. Her battle power was still constantly climbing, which meant her transformation had not completely finished yet.
Everyone shifted their attention from her appearance to the scouters. The numbers displayed had become unbelievably exaggerated, yet they showed no sign of stopping or slowing, and were still soaring rapidly, quickly breaking through the terrifying figure of one million.
Compared to Raditz, those who could sense energy felt even more terrified. The energy erupting from Yoruichi was astonishingly powerful, and incredibly chaotic...
"Alright, stop now. If you continue, you'll lose control."
Ethan had not spoken the whole time. He had only been observing her condition. When he noticed her energy beginning to destabilize, he immediately told her to stop.
At this point, Yoruichi's battle power had risen to 1.4 million, fourteen times higher than her base battle power.
This was not even her maximum battle power state. If she unleashed her full power, Ethan estimated that she could raise her strength by at least twenty times, but in that case, she would fall into a state of losing control, and even her personality would change drastically.
And the biggest side effect of the Black Cat War Princess was not just that. When using her full power, her personality would not only change drastically, it would also shift constantly. She would not even be sure what she wanted to do or what she would do the next second. In this state, she was basically no different from a madman.
Ethan guessed that this power had a severe impact on her mind. If Yoruichi wanted to resolve this side effect, she could only continue training and improve her mental discipline.
In recent years, Yoruichi had slowed down the growth of her battle power and started improving her mental state. That was why she could use the Black Cat War Princess to a certain extent. If it had been a few years earlier, she would not have been able to control herself at all and would have already gone berserk.
"Oh, such an interesting thing, and you're telling me to stop."
"..."
"Don't you like me like this?"
Yoruichi's personality had already been troublesome to begin with, and now she was just a little excited, with a more outgoing personality. Her fingers kept sliding across Ethan's body, and she even lightly rubbed her face against him like a real cat.
"..."
Everyone watching this scene was speechless. The contrast between her behavior and her immense battle power and terrifying aura was simply too great. People with vivid imaginations, like Krillin, were already starting to suspect that Ethan and Yoruichi were actually cat people, and were even picturing Ethan transforming.
"Alright, release the transformation!"
"Tch, how boring!"
Yoruichi was still able to keep a clear mind. Knowing that she would lose control if she continued, she slowly released the transformation, and her appearance gradually returned to normal.
Although everything returned to normal, everyone remained silent. What had just happened made the onlookers feel a little awkward, but it had also been shocking enough.
Thinking further, if Frieza already had 500,000 before transforming, then how much battle power would he have after transforming?
Five million?
Judging by the scale of Yoruichi's battle power increase, ten million was not impossible.
"This... their power is too terrifying!"
Raditz had not had any concept of it before, but now that he understood how terrifying Frieza was, all he could do was tremble. He even started wondering whether he should secretly send a message to Lord Frieza and tell him that there were a few idiots here trying to rebel against him, just to save his own life.
"So, before you're strong enough, don't casually provoke Frieza..." Ethan glanced at Raditz. He knew this guy was a potential problem, so he gave him a little warning. "Don't think that betraying us will make Frieza spare your life either... You should know that it was Frieza who wiped out the Saiyans and destroyed Planet Vegeta."
"What?"
Ethan felt no pressure at all revealing this kind of information. Besides, Frieza had never especially hidden this fact, except when dealing with Vegeta.
"Frieza was quite wary of the Saiyans, so he took action to eliminate them and destroy Planet Vegeta. Only a few of you who were not on the planet at the time survived by luck... This matter actually isn't hard to find out. If any of you Saiyans were not completely brainless, you should already know about it."
After hearing this, Raditz was completely thrown into confusion. He truly did not know what he was supposed to do.
Just as he wanted to ask more questions, he noticed that Ethan was no longer looking at him, but had turned his head to stare upward.
"What is he looking at?"
The scouter in Raditz's hand was beeping. He glanced at it and noticed that someone with considerable strength had arrived. The displayed battle power was over 5,000, still stronger than he was.
He looked up and saw a person with a rather distinctive appearance.
"This guy isn't an Earthling, is he? He looks like a Namekian. How could a Namekian be on Earth?"
Raditz did not recognize Piccolo. Piccolo's appearance surprised the others a little, but they quickly figured out the reason. Everyone had successively unleashed their full power, which must have made the Great Demon King Piccolo feel that something was strange, so he had come over to check the situation.
That was basically the case. However, Piccolo remembered the energy of almost everyone here. When Goku began unleashing his full power, Piccolo, who had been hiding in a remote area and training hard, silently looked in the direction the energy was coming from and carefully sensed how strong the other side was.
After desperately training in a remote place, he had thought that his strength had increased significantly and that he could finally take revenge. However, the energy from Ethan and Goku that occasionally reached him had stimulated him again and again.
Each time, they had become even stronger, and this progress seemed endless. In the past few years, Piccolo had fully understood what despair felt like.
Watching the gap in strength between them grow wider and wider, he could think of no way to change the situation other than training hard so that he would not be left too far behind.
Just as he was feeling depressed again, a powerful and extremely chaotic energy had suddenly appeared. This energy was very unfamiliar. He could not tell who it belonged to, and it was so immense that even he felt fear, which was why he had come over to check what was going on.
He had just been a little slow to arrive and had not seen Yoruichi in her transformed state. Piccolo observed for a while and found that there was only one stranger here, and this person's energy did indeed feel somewhat evil.
"Who is this guy? Was that immense energy coming from him?"
