"Not... not yet, but he can't move anymore. I will kill him before I leave." Dodoria replied somewhat guiltily.
"Go do it." Frieza waved his hand and ended the call.
Dodoria breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Vegeta smiled even more brightly.
"Vegeta, look... I have done as you said." Dodoria said to Vegeta with a fawning expression.
"Hmph, you did well." Vegeta smiled slightly.
"What do we do next?" Dodoria asked.
"You have no more value to me." A killing intent appeared in Vegeta's eyes.
"You... what did you say?" Dodoria's face changed repeatedly. "Vegeta... you... you... you are going back on your word."
"Bang."
Vegeta suddenly kicked out, heavily kicking Dodoria in the chest.
Immediately, Dodoria's chest caved in deeply. His entire body flew backward, directly piercing through the spaceship's hull and landing on the ground outside.
Dodoria slid on the ground for several hundred meters before barely coming to a stop.
Vegeta flew up and smashed his knee directly onto Dodoria's neck.
"Crunch."
Dodoria's neck twisted and deformed. He died on the spot.
Vegeta took the Combat God Water from Dodoria's body, then fired an energy wave at him, blasting him into scraps.
After doing all this, Vegeta slowly returned to Dodoria's spaceship.
"Lord Vegeta... there was no need to destroy his spaceship." Nappa looked at Vegeta strangely.
"Hmph, I did it on purpose." Vegeta snorted.
"On purpose?" Nappa looked confused.
Vegeta unhurriedly stuffed the Combat God Water into a storage compartment and quickly operated the computer.
Destination, Planet Vegeta.
Launch.
Vegeta pressed the button to launch the spaceship and left the ship.
"Whoosh."
The spaceship soared into the sky, instantly breaking through the atmosphere and entering the vast space, flying in autopilot mode towards the direction of Planet Vegeta.
"Letting the spaceship return by itself?" Nappa scratched his head, feeling a bit unable to process it.
"Hmph, of course." Vegeta chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Dodoria obtained the Combat God Water. When Frieza video called him, he must have told him to drink the Combat God Water and learned that his combat power multiplied by 16 times."
"I still don't really understand..." Nappa looked bewildered.
"You idiot." Vegeta scolded and explained with a cold face. "Originally, Frieza was half believing, half doubting the story about the Combat God Water doubling power. But with a loyal subordinate like Dodoria acting as a test subject, Frieza will believe the story about the Combat God Water. However, neither Frieza nor Dodoria know that the Combat God Water has side effects."
"I see..." Nappa suddenly understood. "You intentionally left the Combat God Water in space, guessing that Dodoria would find it and drink it, right?"
"Hmph." The corners of Vegeta's mouth turned up slightly.
"As expected of Lord Vegeta. This plan is simply brilliant." Nappa was full of admiration, but then asked strangely, "But... why leave a hole in the spaceship?"
"This spaceship will eventually be captured by Frieza. When they board it and find neither I nor Dodoria are there, and there's an extra hole in the ship, it suggests we fought inside... Let Frieza imagine the rest himself." Vegeta said lightly. "But I think that part isn't important to Frieza. Once Frieza's people find the Combat God Water, Frieza should drink it without hesitation."
"So that's how it is." Nappa gave Vegeta a thumbs up.
"Let's destroy the communication system on our spaceship, then secretly follow them." A smile appeared on Vegeta's face. "Frieza's period of weakness lasts one day. At that time, as long as I drink the Combat God Water, I can eliminate Frieza."
"But... how can we be sure Frieza drank the Combat God Water?" Nappa scratched his head and asked.
"No need to be sure. I'm certain he will drink it." Vegeta snorted coldly. "The Combat God Water can increase combat power. Nobody doesn't want to increase their combat power. You, me, Raditz, even Cui, who among us hasn't drunk it?"
Nappa suddenly felt that Vegeta was absolutely right.
"Moreover, I have calculated it. By the time we return to Planet Vegeta, it will be the full moon on Planet Vegeta." An extremely confident expression appeared on Vegeta's face. "This way, as long as I drink the Combat God Water and turn into a Great Ape, my combat power will be at least 3 million. Even if Frieza's fourth form is 3 million, I am not afraid."
Nappa's eyes shone brightly.
Lord Vegeta's words made perfect sense.
So, they really could eliminate Frieza.
The two waited for about an hour before boarding their own spaceship and setting off, flying towards the direction of Planet Vegeta.
Before departure, Vegeta and Nappa found the spaceship's positioning system and communication system and destroyed them.
...
Three days later.
Near Planet Vegeta, aboard Frieza's spaceship.
Frieza sat in his hover chair, looking out at the cosmic starscape outside the window, eagerly awaiting the return of the Combat God Water.
With that thing, I, Frieza, might be able to surpass Lord Beerus.
It's possible I could replace him and become the new God of Destruction.
During this period, Frieza's thoughts were still relatively simple.
Frieza naively believed that 10 billion combat power was definitely enough to defeat Beerus.
It wasn't until the future, when Frieza died and was imprisoned in Hell, confined in a cocoon hanging from a large tree, harassed daily by the songs of little sprites, that Frieza's state of mind was tempered.
And after Frieza was revived, it was through those many years of mental tempering in Hell that he managed to unlock his Golden form in just six months.
When Frieza unlocked his Golden form, he finally realized how big the gap was between himself and Lord Beerus.
The current Frieza was still very young and looked down on everything.
With 10 billion combat power, how could he not defeat a God of Destruction?
It was the same logic as Vegeta naively thinking that 3 million combat power could grind Frieza into the ground.
"Lord Frieza, we just detected Dodoria's ship approaching." Berryblue bowed behind Frieza. "Our people are intercepting that ship now."
"Oh? That guy has been out of contact for three days." Frieza frowned.
"Why was he out of contact?" Berryblue was somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph, Dodoria must have been careless, letting Vegeta ambush him. Probably they killed each other." Frieza was not surprised, but felt a bit nervous inside. "Their deaths don't matter much. What I care about most now is... where is the Combat God Water?"
