CHAPTER 75
Chapter 75: Fighting Kurds
On the open plains of New Namek, a massive spacecraft shaped like a crescent moon descended from orbit and landed with a low rumble.
The hatch hissed open, and a line of armored soldiers filed out in formation, flanking both sides of the entrance. A towering figure stepped down with regal arrogance King Cold, the former emperor of the Universe and Frieza's father.
"King Cold, two immense ki signatures were detected earlier but disappeared shortly after," reported a scouter-wearing alien soldier, bowing respectfully.
"Ignore them. Focus on your mission disperse and locate the Dragon Balls. I want all seven found before Frieza arrives," Cold ordered coldly.
Though the father and son had formed a temporary truce, each harbored personal ambitions. Neither would hesitate to betray the other if it secured control of the Dragon Balls.
"Yes, King Cold!" The elites fanned out, heading toward different areas of Namek.

Elsewhere, near the remnants of the Cooler battlefield, Li Xu found Son Goku, who was casually resting on a boulder.
"Goku, you actually beat that Metal Cooler?" Li Xu asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"I was mid-fight when he just self-destructed. Kinda ruined the fun," Goku said, scratching his head with disappointment. The battle had ended too abruptly for his taste.
Li Xu smirked awkwardly he had just destroyed the Big Gete Star's central core, which explained why the final Cooler drone malfunctioned and exploded.
"You must've sensed it another strong ki just descended on Namek. And it's not alone," Li Xu said. He had already recognized the ki signature it was unmistakably Cold's.
"Yeah." Goku's tone turned serious, his body tensing slightly.
"Let's go. Piccolo and Goten can handle Cold's minions. We'll take care of the real threat," Li Xu proposed.
"Fine, but I want the first shot this time," Goku grinned. After losing the fight against Cooler to Li Xu, he was eager to get his hands dirty.
"Deal," Li Xu said, knowing full well that he might still have to intervene to complete his mission. As long as Goku got a good fight, that was enough.
The duo soared off, flying through the Namekian sky instead of using Instant Transmission, both radiating suppressed but potent auras.

Meanwhile, Cold was lounging under a hovering pavilion, sipping from a crystalline chalice of red liquid. His tail curled idly beneath his seat.
Suddenly, his scouter beeped urgently.
"Beep! Power level: 5,000!"
"Beep! Power level: 3,000!"
The brown-skinned, horned alien beside him a bull-like elite soldier sneered at the readings. With a power level of 8,000 himself, he was confident these new arrivals were beneath him.
"King Cold, they must be after the Dragon Balls. Allow me to handle them," he said with a sadistic grin.
"Go ahead. I'd rather not be disturbed," Cold replied nonchalantly, savoring his drink.
The bull warrior stepped forward, raising a high-caliber energy blaster and aiming directly at Goku.
"Don't worry, I'll make it quick." He fired.
Fzzzz!
The energy bolt appeared to pass through Goku's chest but nothing happened. Goku hadn't even flinched. He had simply moved at such speed that he returned to his position before the laser could register the movement.
The bull alien frowned and fired again twice more. Same result.
"What... what is this?" he muttered, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Cut it out. We've got bigger fish to fry," Li Xu said, uninterested in wasting time.
"Alright!" Goku smirked, vanishing in a blink.
WHAM!
In an instant, he reappeared beside the stunned tauren and dropped him with a single well-placed punch to the jaw, knocking the brute unconscious.
"It seems you've been hiding your true strength," King Cold murmured, his interest piqued despite himself. Still, a faint smirk remained on his face, signaling he wasn't remotely intimidated.
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
The remaining Cold Force elites surrounding him immediately launched into the air, rushing to encircle Son Goku. But within moments, Goku effortlessly dispatched them all with swift, precise blows, leaving a pile of unconscious bodies on the field.
"Now it's your turn," Goku declared, his eyes locked on Cold, his aura crackling faintly with rising energy.
"You're impressive. How would you like to serve me?" Cold offered smoothly. "I'll grant you an entire planet of your choosing."
"Forget it. I don't steal other people's planets," Goku replied with a frown, his Saiyan pride refusing to bend to such an offer.
"Then prepare to despair." Cold laughed, his deep voice echoing as he surged forward, cloak fluttering behind him, cloaked in icy blue ki.
Boom!
He launched a powerful punch at Goku but Goku casually caught the fist mid-air. Cold's eyes narrowed, and he threw a second punch, only for it too to be seized.
Just as Goku was about to overpower him in a grapple, Cold whipped his long, muscular tail around, striking Goku hard in the side and sending him flying across the plain.
CRASH!
Goku barreled through several stone outcroppings before grinding to a halt, a line of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Estimated combat power around 100 million… does he have another form?" Li Xu mused silently, watching from nearby.
In Dragon Ball Z, King Cold was killed effortlessly by Future Trunks, which left his true combat abilities ambiguous. Li Xu speculated that Cold must have hidden potential or another transformation after all, he willingly accompanied Frieza to Earth, knowing that Frieza, post-resurrection, possessed more than 100 million in battle power. He wouldn't have done so if he were totally outmatched.
"Haaaah!"
As Goku wiped the blood away, he let out a battle cry and transformed into a Super Saiyan, his golden hair surging upward, lightning crackling around him. His recent breakthrough still left his aura wild and loud.
"A... golden Saiyan?!" Cold's pupils shrank. He had heard stories Frieza himself had barely survived against one. The legend of the Super Saiyan haunted his race.
"Super Saiyan is only the beginning." Goku said coldly, giving no further explanation. In a flash, he lunged forward and launched a flurry of powerful strikes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Now boasting a combat power of roughly 150 million, Goku completely overwhelmed King Cold. The older tyrant was unable to respond each punch connected cleanly, rocking his body back.
"They're only effective against weaker foes," Li Xu muttered. The Frost Demon clan's brute strength was notorious, but their lack of refined ki control left them vulnerable to superior power.
Boom!
With one final uppercut, Goku launched Cold into the sky, then smashed him back to the ground with a two-handed hammer blow. The surface cracked like a shattered mirror beneath Cold's body, and the tremors rolled across the entire region.
"RAAARGH!"
King Cold pushed himself up with a roar of rage. His body trembled with effort, and the air around him began to warp. Pebbles floated into the air, and cracks spiderwebbed beneath his boots. A rising surge of energy erupted outward, kicking up a cyclone of dust and uprooting nearby trees.
Goku stood calmly, watching Cold's body surge with power. He made no move to interrupt he wanted to see if Cold had a higher transformation, something worthy of a true battle.
