Frieza trembled under Loren's gaze.
That look—calm, bored, indifferent—
was more terrifying than any words.
Frieza instantly understood.
Nothing he owned meant anything to this Saiyan.
Begging?
Worthless.
Fear was replaced by pure, desperate malice.
If he had to die—
"Then let's… die together!"
Frieza roared, pointing a trembling finger upward.
A massive purplish-black energy sphere, overflowing with destructive power, rapidly condensed.
Death Ball.
He intended to destroy the entire planet.
Everything.
Including himself.
But what he didn't expect—
Was Loren casually extending one hand…
and stopping the massive orb with his palm.
Then pushing it back.
"Here. Have it back."
Loren's tone was flat.
"No—!!"
The massive Death Ball hurled back toward Frieza, dragging him along like a ragdoll.
It flew into space—
and detonated in a violent purple explosion.
Frieza's silhouette vanished in the blast.
[Ding! Extra Humiliation Quest completed!
Reward delivered: Normal combat power permanently increased to 5,000,000!]
It was over.
Loren's golden aura faded.
His spiky Super Saiyan hair softened back to black.
He stretched, yawned, and clapped the dust off his hands.
"Finally over. Now I can finally get some sleep."
In the distance, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan all stared blankly at the sky.
Loren gently landed on Namek's cracked green surface.
"Whew… finally… we survived…" Krillin collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
Goku appeared beside Loren, "Loren… just now… that form—"
"A Saiyan transformation," Loren yawned. "It's called Super Saiyan."
"Amazing…" Goku's eyes sparkled. "Do you think I can become that strong one day?"
Loren looked him up and down.
"You? Hard to say."
Goku: "…"
Vegeta stood frozen, eyes bloodshot, mind broken.
His pride… shattered.
His ambition… crushed.
His royal heritage… meaningless.
The legendary Super Saiyan—
the myth he'd chased his whole life—
was real.
But why Loren?
Why not the Saiyan Prince?
Why not him?
He clenched his fists until his nails dug into his palms.
Suddenly—
A deep rumble echoed from the planet's core.
Rumble—!!
Namek began to violently shake.
The entire ground cracked open, magma erupting upward like fountains.
Krillin screamed, "N-No—! This planet… it's gonna explode!"
Piccolo turned grim.
He could feel the planet's lifeforce collapsing.
At least…
the Namekians had already been transported to Earth.
But—
"How do we get back?!" Krillin shrieked.
"Goku's ship is destroyed!"
Despair suffocated them.
Everyone slowly turned toward one person.
The only one not panicking.
Loren.
He sighed deeply.
"So troublesome.To guarantee my future naps… I guess I have to handle customer after-sales service too."
He waved casually.
"Everyone, gather up. Hold on tight. Don't get left behind."
They rushed to him.
Loren placed a hand on Goku's shoulder, and grabbed Vegeta with his other.
Vegeta stiffened.
"Don't move," Loren said calmly.
Vegeta froze instantly.
Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan clung to each other.
Loren closed his eyes, locking onto Earth's aura.
"Let's go."
Whoosh—!
In an instant, all six vanished.
Earth – West City – Capsule Corporation
One second: magma, destruction, collapsing planet.
The next: soft grass under their feet.
Fresh wind. Sunlight. Earth's familiar air.
Krillin blinked. "We… came back?"
Gohan spun around. "Dad! We're back on Earth!"
A group of Namekian children splashed by the pond nearby.
Everyone exhaled in relief.
They survived.
Deep Space – The Former Coordinates of Namek
Only darkness remained.
Broken planetary fragments drifted silently.
A charred, blood-stained piece of white metal floated through the void.
It was part of Frieza's skull.
Suddenly—
A bloodshot eye on it twitched.
A faint consciousness reignited.
"Saiyan…"
Elsewhere in the Galaxy
Inside a massive ship, a soldier stared at a life detector, shaking.
He raced to the throne room.
A towering figure stood with his back turned, gazing into the stars.
King Cold.
"Y-Your Majesty!" The soldier fell to his knees. "Lord Frieza's life signal… has vanished."
"But… we detected a faint life reading near the explosion coordinates. It may be Lord Frieza!"
King Cold slowly turned.
"Oh?"
"My foolish son was beaten into that state?"
His lips curled into a cold smile.
"How interesting."
"Send a recovery squad. Retrieve him—whatever condition he's in."
King Cold's tail flicked.
"I want to know who dared to lay a hand on my son."
