Chapter 238 The Calm Frieza
Shang Yun's gaze was fixed on Bulma, whose behavior was completely different, as if she were a different person. Everything about her seemed strange. Shang Yun subconsciously turned her head slowly, her eyes settling on a toad lying on the ground not far away. It was flailing its limbs, looking disheveled. Countless thoughts flashed through Shang Yun's mind in an instant. Could there be some intricate connection between Bulma's abnormality and this toad? As soon as this thought arose, Shang Yun's brows furrowed deeply, her doubts deepening.
Bulma, lost in her own world, glanced down and caught sight of Frieza and Goku facing off in the distance. A look of confusion instantly crossed her face, and she murmured, "Hmm? What's that...?"
Krillin quickly replied, "Bulma, that's Goku and Frieza. They're fighting over there."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Bulma's eyes widened instantly. Without saying a word, she ran towards that direction, exclaiming in unison with admiration, "That's King Frieza!"
Seeing this, Krillin became extremely anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Bulma, please don't go there! It's too dangerous!"
In the sky, a sharp bolt of lightning flashed like a blade, striking straight at Frieza. But Frieza stood motionless, like a towering statue, his expression cold and stern, only uttering softly, "What a pity, what a pity."
In that split second, Sun Wukong seized the opportunity, his figure flashing as he appeared behind Frieza like a ghost. He moved lightly, inching closer to Frieza.
Frieza, seemingly oblivious to the danger behind him, continued speaking to himself, "If you submit to me, you will enjoy wealth and luxury forever." As he spoke, a dazzling ball of energy suddenly gathered in his palm, its light radiant, as if containing world-destroying power.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously retreated slowly. As if sensing Sun Wukong's actions, the energy ball in Frieza's hand slowly dissipated, as if it had never appeared, leaving only an eerie calm.
Frieza's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, his eyes filled with disdain. He then spoke slowly and deliberately, "Hmph, whether it's Vegeta, the high and mighty King Vegeta, or that overconfident low-ranking warrior Bardock, they're all as foolish as stubborn rocks. They clearly had the opportunity to submit to me and enjoy endless power and glory, yet they chose to oppose me. They truly overestimated themselves!" He slightly raised his chin, his eyes flashing with a cold light, as if savoring the control and crushing he had once exerted over these people. His arrogant demeanor exuded the arrogance of a domineering ruler.
Frieza wore a sinister smile, and the energy ball in his hand reappeared, its light even more dazzling. Seeing this, Goku inwardly cursed, gritting his teeth and thinking bitterly, "Damn it, Frieza's using that trick again!"
Frieza slowly turned his head, his narrow eyes flashing with an evil light, staring straight at Goku, and said coldly, "Now there's another fool who doesn't know his own mortality."
Seeing that Sun Wukong made no further moves, Frieza's eyes flashed with disdain. With a gentle clench of his hand, the energy ball radiating a terrifying aura vanished without a trace.
……
At the mountaintop, Bulma's eyes gleamed with excitement, her face beaming with joy. She couldn't help but cheer, "Wow, that's amazing! Frieza's energy can change so flexibly with Goku's movements; he can even read Goku's attacks perfectly! Is this Frieza's power? It's incredible!"
When Gohan caught sight of Bulma dancing excitedly and heard her praise of Frieza, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Aunt Bulma? Why is she like this?"
Just then, a toad hopped to Sun Wukong's feet, grabbed his shoe, and croaked incessantly. The toad was extremely anxious, desperately calling out, "That's not me! I'm Bulma! Can you hear me? Help me!" But no matter how hard it tried, only monotonous croaking could be heard. It frantically rubbed its head against Sun Wukong's shoe, hoping to get his attention, but all its efforts seemed futile.
Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, Son Gohan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in realization, "Ah, I know!"
The toad, which had been full of anticipation, immediately put its hands on its hips and was overjoyed when it saw that Gohan seemed to have noticed something: "Ah, you finally know! Yes, yes, it is me!" It nodded frantically as it thought this.
But Gohan's next words plunged the toad into an icy abyss. Gohan, his face beaming with excitement, pointed at the toad and shouted, "You're Ginyu, aren't you? Why are you still wandering around here? Hurry up and find somewhere to hide! It's dangerous here! Find somewhere to hide!"
Gohan's words caused the toad to stumble and fall, its hopes instantly shattered. It cried out inwardly, "You guessed wrong! I'm Bulma, not Ginyu!" But it could only croak, unable to reveal its true identity, and could only fret inwardly.
……
Frieza slowly turned around, his narrow eyes filled with coldness and malice, staring intently at Goku like a lurking beast. Goku's heart tightened at Frieza's movement; he dared not relax for a moment, quickly assuming a fighting stance, his muscles tense, his eyes sharp as an eagle, ready for battle.
Frieza's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, his tone full of disdain as he coldly said, "That's why I said I only need to use half my strength to deal with you—it'll be a piece of cake." His voice was deep and icy, seemingly containing a powerful pressure.
Sensing Frieza's unusual calmness and composure, Goku felt a sense of unease and muttered to himself, "Could this guy be telling the truth? Does he really have such terrifying power?" A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at Frieza, his mind racing as he considered a countermeasure.
However, the situation suddenly changed, and Frieza vanished from his spot like a ghost. Before Goku could even show a surprised expression, a strong sense of danger swept over him. The next moment, Frieza appeared in front of him as if teleported, his knee slamming into Goku's stomach with a sharp gust of wind.
