Chapter 84: Unexpected Turn
Frieza's warship.
After issuing the retreat order, Frieza's expression gradually grew ugly.
From birth until now, except for the two people King Cold mentioned, Frieza had never put anyone else in his eyes. Even his brother—he believed he'd definitely surpass him in the future.
Now he was scared into tactical retreat. This made Frieza feel humiliated.
But Frieza was arrogant, not stubborn. Compared to warriors, he considered himself more an emperor. And emperors weighed pros and cons.
"My king, we've detected West Galaxy battle power weakening. Now only 50 million battle power remains!"
Just then, a subordinate burst in again, reporting new news. After hearing, Frieza's eyes immediately brightened.
King Kai's Planet.
Goku placed his hand on North Kai's shoulder, watching Red Stone's battle together with North Kai.
When Turles used ten times Kaio-ken, both Goku and North Kai's expressions tightened.
"Outrageous, truly outrageous!"
North Kai suddenly jumped up, continuously cursing Turles. But you could tell worry predominated.
Not strange—though only Goku could truly be called his disciple, Turles currently used Kaio-ken. Being able to see his created technique applied so excellently, regardless, brought him glory.
But now Turles dared use ten times Kaio-ken while transformed. In his view, even if he could defeat Slug this time, Turles's body would be affected. Might even impact future growth.
As a Kai managing lower realm life, training fighters was actually part of their duties. Though somewhat at odds with West Kai, watching Turles potentially ruin himself still pained him.
Currently, Goku also felt somewhat worried. Though only recently acknowledging Turles as boss, Turles's help was very real. Now watching Turles's wretched state, Goku naturally couldn't remain unmoved.
But his current strength—even going to Red Stone—couldn't help. So Goku could only silently pray.
Naturally, Turles didn't know that because of his battle with Slug, he'd already attracted many people's attention.
Currently, he had no spare thought. Just warily watched Slug opposite while quietly waiting for stamina recovery, easing muscle pain from using Kaio-ken.
Slug also watched Turles. Seeing Turles's wary eyes, he grinned viciously. Then next second, his left hand exerted force, directly tearing off his injured right arm at the root.
Seeing this scene, except for Turles, everyone was stunned. Not understanding why Slug would self-harm in such circumstances.
Only Turles knew—this was Slug using Namekian physiology to restore his right hand.
Sure enough, next moment, the flesh at Slug's severed right arm began writhing. In just moments, with Slug's loud shout, a brand new right arm had completely regrown.
Restoring his right hand consumed massive stamina for Slug. He kept gasping heavily, as if he'd die completely the next second.
Seeing this, Turles remained unmoved, still seizing time to recover stamina.
Seeing Turles wasn't lured, disappointment flashed in Slug's eyes. Then he stopped pretending. He directly sat on the ground and also began recovering stamina.
Wind blew from the distance, rolling up ground sand. For a moment, the entire battlefield quieted.
Both sides' people just watched the two sitting on the ground. Broly seemed about to move. But next second, Turles's gaze turned toward him. Seeing this, Broly could only withdraw his steps.
"Gulp!"
A Slug forces' soldier swallowed. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn over, scaring him pale. Cold sweat continuously poured out.
Only after everyone's attention left did this soldier breathe easily, sitting on the ground with a thud.
Withdrawing his gaze, Slug looked toward Turles again. Somewhat emotionally, he said, "You're the most powerful Saiyan I've encountered so far. Even King Cold falls far short of you."
Turles's eyes moved slightly. Still not speaking, just quietly watching Slug.
Slug's mouth twitched. He continued, "Actually, we two don't have any great enmity. In the current situation, you can't deal with me. I can't deal with you either. How about we stop here? I'll lead my subordinates and withdraw from Red Stone Planet. How about it?"
Turles's eyes flickered, as if somewhat moved.
Seeing this, Slug's heart brightened. Just about to continue saying something when suddenly his expression changed drastically. He looked toward the sky with fear.
Making the same movement were Turles and the ki-sensing Saiyans like Broly. Currently, all lifted their heads toward the sky.
Turles couldn't hide the surprise in his heart even more. He seemed to already know the newcomer's identity.
Just as Slug forces' small fry felt somewhat confused, a large shadow slowly covered the sky. They immediately also looked up.
In the sky, a massive ship slowly descended. A petite figure stood before the ship's window glass, mouth curved in a smile as it appreciated everything on the ground.
This sudden change disrupted the field's rhythm. Everyone stared at that massive ship until it completely landed on the ground.
Before long, the ship's hatch slowly opened. Orderly soldiers walked from the ship, forming two rows, then quietly awaiting the ship owner's appearance.
Click, click, click!
Accompanied by crisp footsteps, a petite figure just over a meter tall completely appeared before everyone.
Though the newcomer's height wasn't tall, currently everyone on Red Stone didn't dare underestimate them. Because terrifying pressure no less than Turles and Slug's earlier battle continuously emanated from this person.
Turles looked at the petite delicate frame, pearly white skin, and that signature red pupils. He immediately recognized the newcomer's identity.
"Frieza!"
As Turles spoke the newcomer's name, everyone present knew the person before them was precisely North Galaxy's universe emperor—Frieza!
"So this is Frieza? Truly very powerful!"
Broly's voice rang in Turles's ear, bringing Turles back to his senses. He glanced at Broly and asked, "How about it? Earlier I told you to leave but you wouldn't. Regret it now?"
Hearing this, Broly looked at Turles without speaking. Then he continued watching Frieza, a trace of fervor flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Turles chuckled lightly. Then he pulled a Senzu Bean from his waist and tossed it in his mouth, beginning to chew.
As a cautious person, how could Turles not prepare backup plans? The Senzu Bean was precisely what he'd requested from Korin when sending Bulma back to Earth.
"Gulp!"
As the Senzu Bean went down, Turles felt his body's vitality rapidly replenish. Stamina also immediately recovered to peak state. Not only that—even various injuries to his body from stacking humanoid Great Ape transformation and Kaio-ken completely healed.
With the Senzu Bean's help, Turles's battle power returned to its peak. Not only that—after intense battle with Slug, his current normal state battle power had massively improved. By Turles's estimate, probably already over 3 million.
Meaning he'd already met one condition for transforming into Super Saiyan.
Turles's method shocked Frieza. Just moments ago still half-dead—after one bean, instantly recovered. This meant—
Frieza felt he'd still been somewhat hasty. He hadn't expected Turles still had something to instantly recover stamina. If going by previously detected battle power, this Saiyan monkey before him possessed maximum 250 million battle power.
Slug was also startled by Turles's sudden state recovery. Thinking of the earlier scene, a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"This guy is too devious. Actually hiding this move!"
After recovering stamina, Turles released humanoid Great Ape form. He walked before Frieza, looking him up and down. Chuckling lightly, he said, "What day is it today? Even attracted North Galaxy's universe emperor. Truly honored!"
Frieza's smile could no longer hold. Expression gloomy, he watched Turles. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. But next second, a false smile returned to his face:
"Hohoho, isn't this just coincidence?"
As the Saiyans' former boss, Frieza naturally understood what kind of race Saiyans were. But facing that battle power possibly far exceeding his own, Frieza had to suppress his inner fury.
Frieza had never regretted like now. Relying on his previous talent, never training once—that's what brought him today's humiliation.
Seeing Frieza actually endured his mockery, Turles felt somewhat surprised. Then his heart raised vigilance to maximum. In his impression, Frieza wasn't this easy to talk to.
However, now wasn't the time to deal with Frieza. Even if enemies, must handle them one by one.
Naturally, Turles didn't know Frieza had previously detected his and Slug's battle power. If not for both their battle powers suddenly dropping, he'd probably already fled back to North Galaxy.
Turles slowly flew before Slug. Watching Slug's appearance already aged beyond bearing, his heart sighed.
Slug warily watched Turles. His current state could be called completely spent. If Turles wanted to do something, he didn't know if he still had strength to resist.
Slug was about to say something when he saw Turles's right hand suddenly swing. He only saw a flash of light before his vision began tilting.
"Whose body is this?"
This thought flashed through his mind. Next moment, complete darkness.
The universe overlord who'd ruled West Galaxy over 300 years—Slug—thus ended his sinful life.
Turles's sudden strike startled everyone. Even Frieza secretly raised his vigilance.
After dealing with Slug, Turles again focused on Frieza.
Sensing Frieza's 120 million battle power, Turles's heart felt somewhat emotional. When he'd first transmigrated, he only thought of escaping Frieza's forces. Back then, Frieza's first form 530,000 battle power made him feel soul-freezing.
But now, he'd just eliminated an existence with 50 million battle power. Frieza's 120 million battle power seemed somewhat ordinary in his eyes. This couldn't help but make Turles sigh.
After sighing, Turles was about to transform when he saw Broly look toward him.
From Broly's eyes, Turles understood his intention. After thinking, Turles stepped back.
Seeing Turles retreat, Broly couldn't help showing a smile. Then he collected his smile again, turned to look at Frieza.
How could Frieza not understand the two's meaning? Currently, he couldn't care about other things. Just gloomily watched Broly, expression filled with killing intent. He said, "No one has ever dared treat the universe emperor this way. Especially you monkeys."
After speaking, Frieza directly struck. From his right index finger shot a concentrated light technique, shooting straight toward Broly's chest.
Facing Frieza's attack, Broly also didn't dare be careless. He immediately raised his ki. Before the light beam arrived, his form flashed, dodging Frieza's attack.
The light beam Broly dodged continued shooting forward. Any obstacles along the path were ruthlessly pierced until disappearing in the distance.
Watching that endless void, Nappa and the others directly gasped.
This was these Saiyans' first time seeing Frieza strike. Only at this very moment did they understand how arrogant the Saiyans back then were. Especially King Vegeta—actually wanting to resist such an existence. Truly overestimating himself.
Seeing Broly dodge his attack, Frieza wasn't surprised. He immediately flashed forward, directly appearing before Broly, beginning close combat with him.
Speaking of which, Frieza's race was more like a warrior race than Saiyans. Not only could their lifespan reach maximum 1,000 years—every body part could serve as a weapon in battle. Even their tail was more flexible than Saiyans'.
Moreover, Frieza could survive in space. Comparing any aspect, he completely dominated Saiyans.
If not for Saiyans having Super Saiyan transformation ability to boost battle power, Saiyans truly had nothing worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, today Frieza encountered the most abnormal existence among Saiyans—the legendary Super Saiyan appearing once every thousand years, Broly.
As the legendary Super Saiyan, Broly's talent was unquestionable. Though mental issues had always limited his training under Turles and Paragus's restrictions, after Turles obtained Merus's training manual, Broly's talent was completely released.
Now, Broly's spirit was sufficient to support his training. Moreover, Broly's pure nature made his training even more effective. So currently, Broly's battle power had reached 10 million in normal state.
Originally, Broly's abnormal physiology already had the characteristic of automatically growing battle power yearly. Add gravity room, gravity reorganizer—these training cheats. Broly having such battle power didn't surprise Turles.
Just somehow, Turles's heart still felt somewhat sour.
Watching the two's intense aerial battle, Turles completely relaxed.
Seemed Frieza was still like the original story. Though already transformed to complete state, he still couldn't display 120 million battle power.
As long as he didn't suppress Broly at the start, Broly's strength would continuously grow with battle.
After temporarily relaxing, Turles looked toward Slug and Frieza forces' small fry.
Seeing Turles's gaze turn toward them, these small fry were immediately alarmed. Turles's strength wasn't something they could handle. So next second, they completely scattered, fleeing toward their respective ships.
But how could Turles let these people escape? In just moments, Turles and the others completely eliminated them.
Rather unexpectedly, Turles discovered Tights's ki in one of Slug forces' ships.
"Tights?"
Looking at this dispirited woman before him, Turles found it hard to connect her with the previously energetic Tights.
Hearing Turles's voice, Tights snapped back. A trace of light appeared in her eyes. She grabbed Turles's hand and asked, "Turles, where's Vegeta?"
"Huh?"
Turles looked at Tights with confusion, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong? Did Vegeta bully you? Don't worry, Vegeta was already dealt with by Nappa."
"Really?" Hearing Turles's answer, Tights didn't show Turles's expected happiness. Rather, like receiving a massive blow, she couldn't help retreating several steps.
Seeing Tights's reaction, Turles grew even more confused. However, currently he couldn't bother with this. Grabbing Tights's hand, he activated Instant Transmission and vanished from his location.
Next moment, Turles appeared on Earth.
At Bulma's house, seeing Turles appear, Bulma immediately rushed over. Before Turles could speak, she'd already embraced him and directly kissed him.
Turles was first stunned. But soon he fell into Bulma's tenderness.
After a long kiss, Turles held the girl in his arms, teasing, "Miss me that much?"
Bulma didn't speak. Just held Turles's waist, burying her head in Turles's chest, quietly listening to Turles's powerful heartbeat.
Turles's heart warmed. His right hand caressed Bulma's hair, enjoying this warm moment.
"Ahem!"
Just as Turles and Bulma were being intimate, Tights coughed, drawing both their attention.
Bulma looked up. Only then discovering her sister, she immediately broke from Turles's embrace and hugged Tights, crying, "Sister, where did you go? I missed you so much!"
Originally having much to say, Tights heard her sister's crying. She couldn't hold back anymore, hugging Bulma and crying loudly.
Seeing this, Turles used Instant Transmission again, returning to Red Stone Planet.
