Chapter 222: The Kind-hearted Emperor Frieza!
On the other side, in the battle with Jiren, Goku’s body couldn’t withstand the immense strain caused by the Ultra Instinct technique. Amid the sound of explosions, he was sent flying forcefully!
At this moment, he was lying in a corner, desperately trying to summon the scant energy left in his body.
“He’s so strong…” Goku muttered, attempting to twist his body to assess his injuries.
But the sharp pain that followed spread throughout his body in an instant!
Every muscle seemed to have been torn during the recent battle!
Not to mention the injuries to his bones—it felt as if his entire body had suffered catastrophic fractures!
Helpless, Goku lay on the ground, staring up at the vast, empty sky. “Is this really the end…?”
A wave of helplessness washed over him.
Jiren… is just too strong!
Suddenly, a figure appeared, blocking his view.
“Yo, Son Goku…”
Frieza stood beside Goku, looking down at him with a smug expression.
“I’ve finally caught you. Now, let’s settle the old and new grudges, shall we?”
“Frieza…” Goku struggled to sit up, seeing the red energy gathering at Frieza’s fingertips. “What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do? Ho ho ho ho ho…” Frieza sneered at him. “Do you really think you can still fight me now?”
Hearing Frieza’s words, Goku fell into silence.
The thought of being able to stand and fight Frieza was pure fantasy.
At this point, even lifting his fist seemed impossible for him.
Let alone fighting.
Right now, he felt like a fish on a chopping board—helpless and at the mercy of others.
As Frieza’s taunting words echoed in the air, the red light at his fingertips finally condensed completely. As if worried about delays, Frieza shot it directly at Goku without hesitation.
Whoosh!
The red light flashed and struck Goku directly!
Goku grimaced in pain and instinctively shouted out!
But the next moment, an awkward scene unfolded.
The red light hit his body, but instead of feeling his flesh pierced, it felt like his entire body was rapidly healing!
His limbs and every bone, which had been on the brink of collapse, were quickly mending under the power of the red light!
At the same time, the tiny amount of energy left in his body began to replenish at a visible rate!
Before long, Goku’s body was almost fully restored.
He stood up, looking at Frieza with disbelief. “Don’t get the wrong idea!”
Frieza quickly interrupted him, casting a disgusted glance at Goku’s thankful expression.
“I just watched your battle, and it seems that you might be the only one with a real chance of defeating that monster on this battlefield,” Frieza continued. “And in order for my plan to succeed, I need you to stay alive…”
Frieza crossed his arms, glancing at Jiren, who was like a god of war in the center of the battlefield.
“Thank you, Frieza!” Goku said gratefully, not bothering with any false modesty, and quickly left to rejoin the fight.
He soon found Jiren, who was seated, eyes closed in meditation.
“What a chance!” Goku thought to himself.
Suddenly, several figures appeared from behind a large rock, peeking out.
Seeing Jiren sitting unguarded, they immediately charged toward him!
Each of them gathered their most powerful attacks, intending to deal a decisive blow to Jiren!
However, an unexpected and strange scene occurred!
The attackers flew swiftly towards Jiren, releasing their energy waves with great force!
The enormous energy waves stopped dead, just an inch in front of Jiren!
The next second, a ripple appeared around Jiren’s psychic barrier, and the energy waves exploded in a burst!
“Impossible!!!”
The blast sent the attackers flying back, the terrifying force of the explosion sweeping them off their feet!
Goku stood still, staring at Jiren, his battle spirit rising once again!
Just as he was about to charge forward, the group that had attempted the ambush surrounded him instead!
Boom!
An energy wave struck the ground beneath Goku’s feet, causing debris to scatter!
Goku jumped high, narrowly avoiding the unexpected strike.
But the next moment, one of the attackers came from behind, kicking Goku away!
Crash!
Goku’s body hit the ground hard.
“Since we can’t deal with Jiren, let’s take care of you first,” the trio sneered, surrounding him, intent on driving Goku out of the battlefield.
Just as Goku was preparing to counterattack, a figure wrapped in flames appeared, standing in front of him.
“Fang Ye!” Goku exclaimed with surprise. “I didn’t expect you to still be in the game. Your strength is incredible!”
Fang Ye looked at the three approaching opponents, then calmly said, “Leave this to me. There are even stronger opponents waiting for you.”
“Alright!” Goku said without hesitation. Since Fang Ye said he could handle it, Goku trusted him.
“You’re going to take on all three of us alone? You really have confidence,” the leader of the trio said, a mocking glint in his eyes.
“Enough talk. Let’s get this over with.”
Fang Ye remained calm, standing in place, extending his left hand and beckoning to them.
“Come on.”
“You’re asking for death!” the leader shouted.
In the meantime, just as Goku managed to break free from the encirclement, he saw a golden figure charging toward him!
“Caulifla?”
Goku instantly recognized the fighter charging at him as Caulifla, the Saiyan from Universe 6.
In the next moment, Goku dodged her charge by swiftly maneuvering in mid-air!
“Hey, since you’re still alive, come teach me that Super Saiyan 3 transformation,” Caulifla said, halting her pursuit and putting her hands on her hips, pointing at Goku.
“Transforming into Super Saiyan 3 in such a short time is still too fast for you. You should first get used to Super Saiyan 2,” Goku waved his hand dismissively, not giving in to her request.
It wasn’t that Goku feared Caulifla’s strength, but in his eyes, the base foundation of Caulifla, who had just recently transformed into Super Saiyan 2, was too weak. The possibility of her transforming into Super Saiyan 3 was slim.
“What?! What did you say?!” Caulifla shouted angrily, feeling insulted by Goku’s words, and launched herself at him!
Boom!
Caught in his base form, Goku had no time to react to Caulifla’s sudden strike and was sent flying by her kick!
Seeing Goku take the hit, Caulifla became even more fired up. “Today, I’ll show you the true power of Caulifla!”
She immediately pursued Goku’s flying body, intent on landing another blow!
But Goku quickly regained control of his body, moving at high speed!
“Afterimage Fist!”
Suddenly, Goku’s form began to blur, multiplying into dozens of afterimages that surrounded Caulifla!
Without hesitation, Goku delivered a powerful kick toward Caulifla!
Caulifla, trapped in Goku’s afterimages, panicked and failed to block the attack. She was kicked away with great force!
Boom!
“If you can’t even see through this basic technique, then you’d better focus on improving, instead of dreaming about Super Saiyan 3!”
