"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How could I—the King—lose to a filthy Saiyan?!" Frieza roared hysterically.
He desperately unleashed his power to resist, but even then, it was already too late.
For the first time in his life, despair truly gripped him.
Only now did Frieza realize that his boundless arrogance had pushed him into a situation he had never once imagined.
If he had reacted immediately, he could have dodged.
If he had taken Vegeta seriously from the start, things would never have come to this.
But there were no ifs anymore.
Below him, Vegeta continued pouring power into his attack, his expression cold and merciless.
"I told you already," Vegeta said icily.
"Your arrogance would be your downfall. Your era ends here. The future has no place for a relic like you!"
As his words fell—
BOOOOM!!!
Vegeta suddenly exerted force, and the power of the Galick Gun doubled in an instant.
"No!! I—the King—will not lose!! How could I possibly lose?! Damn it!! How could I—be killed by my own technique?! AAAAAHHHHH—!!!"
Frieza's unwilling, hysterical scream echoed through space.
His body was forced higher and higher by the overwhelming energy until he broke through Namek's atmosphere entirely.
Under the crushing force of absolute power, he had no chance to escape.
No way to break free.
Finally, Frieza's resistance collapsed. His body went limp as he was carried by the terrifying energy toward a distant, scorching star.
At that moment, no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Frieza knew—
This was the end.
Regret flooded his mind.
Memories from the past surged forth uncontrollably.
The day he inherited his father's army.
The era when his overwhelming power made him fearless and proud.
The countless lives he trampled without a second thought.
The Saiyans—mere ants in his eyes.
Even their entire race, he believed, wasn't worth a single transformation.
He recalled the first time he met Vegeta.
He recalled everything he had done.
After destroying Planet Vegeta, he should never have left this Saiyan alive.
To satisfy his twisted amusement, he had kept Vegeta around like a toy.
A pet.
Someone to mock.
He had been wrong.
Terribly wrong.
That single mistake had led him to this end.
I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then…
Why didn't I kill them all…
Give me one more chance—just one—and I'd never make the same mistake again!!
Frieza screamed silently in his mind.
Before coming to Namek, he had countless chances to kill Vegeta.
Especially when Vegeta had been gravely injured and fled to Frieza Planet 79—he should have finished him then.
And Namek…
If he hadn't wasted so much time, if he had personally collected the dragon balls from the beginning—
Everything.
Everything was the result of his own arrogance.
…
When Vegeta's Galick Gun, pushing the Planet Destroyer, finally slammed Frieza into the colossal, blazing star, unimaginable agony consumed him.
No matter how special, powerful, or resilient Frieza's body was, it could not withstand such double-layered destruction.
The massive star—far larger and hotter than the sun—incinerated his flesh.
His body and soul were burned simultaneously, suffering torment beyond description.
He tried to escape.
But the crushing force of the Planet Destroyer and the Galick Gun left him utterly immobile.
When the energy finally failed to protect him, Frieza's consciousness faded.
At last, both his body and soul were completely swallowed by the star.
The Emperor of the Universe had fallen.
…
On Namek.
Vegeta finally ceased his attack after confirming that Frieza's ki had completely vanished.
Drawing back his power and stabilizing his breathing, he exhaled slowly.
Although killing Frieza so cleanly felt somewhat unsatisfying—after all, he had planned to torment him far more brutally—
This ending was still acceptable.
It reminded him of how Cooler had once been blasted into the sun by Goku's Kamehameha.
The difference was—
Cooler survived.
Frieza would not.
Vegeta was not indecisive.
And he was certainly not soft-hearted.
Even if I didn't get my fill, this is fine. With Frieza dead, the burden in my heart has vanished completely.
From now on, there will be no lingering resentment or shadows.
As the thought settled, Vegeta allowed his transformation to fade, returning to normal.
Maintaining the Super Saiyan state was far more draining than he had expected.
Although he already understood this in theory, experiencing it firsthand made the burden unmistakably clear.
With his current strength, maintaining Super Saiyan in intense combat would last no more than five minutes.
Even conserving energy, he could only stretch it to ten or fifteen minutes at most.
That meant his next goal was obvious—
He needed to reach Full Power Super Saiyan as quickly as possible.
Only by mastering that state could he fight freely for extended periods.
The method still required exploration.
Despite knowing the general plot of events, Vegeta only understood the concept of the training—not the detailed process.
Still, he already had an idea.
But this was not something that could be achieved in days.
At minimum, it would take months.
"After this battle, I've gained some insight," Vegeta muttered.
"Frieza may be weaker than me as a Super Saiyan, but some of his combat techniques are still worth learning."
Learning from an enemy's strengths didn't mean the enemy was superior.
Even techniques Frieza hadn't displayed—Vegeta could replicate them.
He also needed to quickly master Final Flash.
That move was indispensable against enemies stronger than himself.
And beyond that…
Gamma Burst Flash.
His ultimate move.
Lost in thought, Vegeta eventually snapped back to reality.
For a simple reason—
Frieza's spaceship was lifting off.
The remaining members of the Frieza Force had clearly realized what had happened.
They were trying to escape.
"I can't let you leave," Vegeta said coldly. "And those five dragon balls are still on that ship."
His eyes narrowed.
In the next instant, Vegeta vanished, shooting toward the spaceship at full speed.
