Urged on coldly by Vegeta, Frieza no longer hesitated and finally began his final transformation.
Compared to his second and third transformations, the aura Frieza unleashed this time was unmistakably more terrifying.
An invisible pressure swept across the land, and as that absolute, dreadful power emerged, the space around Frieza itself seemed to distort under its weight.
"Yes—this is it," Vegeta said with a smirk, a trace of excitement flashing across his face.
"Frieza, you should've transformed earlier."
This increase was at least ten times Frieza's previous power.
In other words, even before the transformation was fully complete, Frieza's combat power had already reached at least 30 million.
Thirty million.
With Vegeta's current base form, he was no match for Frieza at all.
As Frieza's aura and pressure continued to rise, he let out a cathartic roar.
Unlike his earlier transformations, his third-form body did not continue to grow. Instead, it began to shrink, twisting and deforming unnaturally.
His power became more and more concentrated, eventually forming a massive golden sphere of light that completely enveloped his body.
The sphere expanded rapidly, growing to nearly half the size of the entire island.
A violent storm surged upward like a colossal tornado.
Even Vegeta was forced back by this overwhelming power, barely managing to stabilize himself at the edge of the island.
The sky and earth darkened. Frieza's energy blocked out the light above the planet, plunging the battlefield into gloom.
The sight was utterly apocalyptic—like the end of the world itself.
Vegeta fully activated his ki sensing, combining it with his mental focus to observe every detail of Frieza's transformation.
Time passed, second by second.
During this process, Vegeta once again heard North Kai's voice urging him to stop Frieza immediately.
He ignored it completely.
North Kai wanted him to strike now and kill Frieza outright.
Vegeta could do that.
Easily.
But honestly—even if Frieza completed his final transformation, Vegeta could still crush him.
So why rush?
Letting Frieza unleash his full strength, letting him stand at the absolute peak of his power—and then crushing him completely—
That was what Vegeta wanted.
"Hurry it up," Vegeta sneered. "Taking this long just to transform… If it were anyone else, they'd have attacked you already."
The transformation process was absurdly slow.
No wonder the original timeline allowed the Z Fighters time to recover—and even allowed the original Vegeta to gain a near-death power boost.
If Frieza could instantly transform the way he could later on, things might have turned out very differently.
Vegeta understood these flaws perfectly.
That was precisely why he had waited several days before confronting Frieza.
If you couldn't even transform instantly, then getting interrupted—or killed mid-transformation—would leave you with nothing but regret.
…
After a full two or three minutes, Vegeta finally felt the change.
The massive golden sphere exploded outward and dissipated.
The storm vanished.
The world returned to an eerie calm, as if nothing had happened.
When the smoke cleared, Frieza's figure emerged.
Gone was the grotesque alien form.
In its place stood Frieza's final form—small, smooth, and deceptively simple.
"Finally done, huh?" Vegeta muttered. "Heheheh…"
At the same time, he quietly mobilized the power hidden deep within his body.
The Super Saiyan energy pool had already been activated.
He could transform at any moment.
"Hohohoh~!" Frieza laughed as he stretched his limbs, adjusting to his most perfect form.
"To remain this calm at this point… little Vegeta, you really have grown."
He glanced at Vegeta with interest. "Your combat power exceeding three million truly surprised me. Tell me—how did you become this strong?"
The final transformation wasn't a mere doubling of strength.
It was an increase of dozens of times—on an entirely different level.
Hearing this, Vegeta replied calmly, "Want to know? Didn't you already guess earlier? Or are you just refusing to believe it?"
"You mean…" Frieza's eyes narrowed, killing intent flickering playfully within them. "You really have become a Super Saiyan?"
That invisible killing intent felt like it could devour everything. Locking eyes with him was like staring into an abyss.
"If a Super Saiyan is only this weak," Frieza continued coldly, "then I'll be very disappointed. Or do you still have power you haven't used?"
He stepped forward.
His figure flickered in and out of sight.
In just a few seconds, he crossed the distance between them and appeared directly in front of Vegeta.
So this is how the original me felt… Vegeta sighed inwardly.
After reaching 2.5 million combat power and facing final-form Frieza—excited by the power boost, yet uncertain he could actually win. Strong words on the outside, doubt on the inside.
That hollow sense of powerlessness.
Facing Frieza's absolute pressure, without an even stronger power as backup, a single exchange would mean total annihilation.
Vegeta took a deep breath and cast those thoughts aside.
He wasn't the original Vegeta.
He wouldn't truly fear Frieza.
At most, it was just a fleeting sense of reflection.
"Oh?" Frieza said mockingly, pinching his chin. "Why so quiet? Your expression's changed, little Vegeta. Looks like my current power finally scared you."
Vegeta curled his lip in disdain.
"Already boasting again?" he said coldly. "Have you forgotten the lesson I taught you earlier?"
As he spoke, Vegeta clenched his fists.
His arms bent slightly.
A blazing golden aura ignited around his body.
His ki surged violently. Saiyan power exploded outward like a raging tide.
Frieza had completed his final transformation.
There was no longer any reason to hold back.
"Watch closely, Frieza," Vegeta roared. "Now I'll show you what a Super Saiyan really looks like!!"
The moment his words fell, the golden aura erupted completely—transforming into a terrifying hurricane that swept across the land.
Frieza, who had been calmly observing, was forced backward by the sheer pressure.
His expression changed drastically.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Golden hair.
Green eyes.
The fear engraved deepest within his genes—
Was awakening once more.
