Chapter 123: Saiyans Never Back Down from a Fight!
The battle raged on ferociously. If not for their conscious effort to avoid firing energy blasts at Earth, the planet would have already been destroyed.
But even with their restraint, Earth still suffered varying degrees of damage.
Every Saiyan bore injuries, yet each wound was a testament to a Hell warrior's demise.
As their injuries worsened, the Saiyans swiftly consumed Senzu Beans. Their energy and wounds instantly recovered, and their combat strength surged once more.
Most experienced an increase of tens to hundreds of times their original power.
Though they hadn't reached a near-death state, and thus their gains weren't as substantial as they could be, the boost was still incredibly significant for them.
The more they fought, the stronger and more courageous they became.
This caught Frieza's attention.
"Interesting, interesting. I didn't expect the Saiyans to develop like this. Although only a few of them are left, they're not performing badly at all."
"And they keep growing stronger!"
"No wonder they're called a warrior race!"
Frieza watched them for a while before losing interest. While it was true they were becoming more formidable, they still didn't impress him.
However, Dr. Gero was exceptionally intrigued. Although he had spent considerable time with the Saiyans, most of it was in the lab, focused on his research.
He hadn't truly understood the full extent of the Saiyans' terrifying potential. He knew they were a powerful race in the universe, but he didn't know exactly what made them so formidable.
Now, seeing how all the Saiyans recovered from severe injuries and then increased their combat strength before his eyes, his interest was piqued.
This was highly valuable material!
If he could harness this power, wouldn't it make the androids even stronger?
For a mad scientist like Dr. Gero, anything with potential could be put to good use.
His eyes scanned the Saiyans back and forth, and it was clear he was plotting something nefarious. Whatever it was, it certainly didn't bode well for the Saiyans.

Meanwhile, on North Kai's planet.
Kami had quickly contacted North Kai, informing him of everything in great detail, his tone as urgent as could be.
The passage to Hell had been opened, and countless terrifying warriors were pouring out.
The most alarming part was the return of the universe emperor, Frieza. This was beyond terrifying!
Upon receiving the news, North Kai did a brief check and was immediately shocked.
"This is terrible! This is terrible!!"
"That Frieza guy is back, and he's stronger than ever!! He's countless times more powerful than before. This… this spells disaster for Earth!!"
North Kai was like an ant on a hot pan, frantically pacing back and forth on his planet. Even Bubbles and Gregory were equally agitated.
Their commotion disturbed Mu Chuan, who overheard North Kai's exclamations.
He quickly grasped the critical information.
Frieza has returned?
And he's on Earth?
This revelation surprised him. While he hadn't given Frieza much thought before, that was only because Frieza was trapped in Hell.
No matter how strong Frieza got, he wouldn't be able to trouble him.
When the opponent finally appears, his combat strength will likely have far surpassed anything from before. But Mu Chuan never expected Frieza to truly return.
How could this have happened?
Whoosh~
In a flash, Mu Chuan appeared beside North Kai, placing his hands on him to calm him down.
"What exactly happened? Let me take a look!"
Without waiting for a response, he used North Kai's abilities to directly observe the situation on Earth.
The planet was already in ruins.
Humanity was facing an unprecedented disaster. Even with the guidance of Mr. Popo and Kami, leading most people onto the path of martial arts, the strongest human warriors, with battle powers in the hundreds, were insignificant against these terrifying Hell warriors. They were like ants, being slaughtered one by one.
He then shifted his gaze to Frieza's side.
There were numerous powerful warriors surrounding Frieza, each with a combat strength in the billions. Frieza himself was unimaginably powerful.
In the distance stood Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu, each surrounded by many android warriors. Though it was unclear just how strong these androids were, the mere fact that their energy couldn't be sensed suggested they were formidable.
Mu Chuan furrowed his brow. This situation was far worse than he had anticipated and presented a significant challenge.
"It seems Frieza has truly returned as the King. I wonder what form he's reached. If he hasn't achieved his golden form yet, maybe there's still a chance."
Mu Chuan knew well how terrifying Frieza's potential was. If Frieza ever took his training seriously, his power would undoubtedly be immense.
Given the setbacks Frieza had faced, there was no doubt that he would have trained diligently, but to what extent, Mu Chuan couldn't be sure.
Mu Chuan felt it was necessary to stop Frieza, even if he wasn't fully certain of the opponent's strength. But he wouldn't back down!
Saiyans thrive in battle, and Mu Chuan wasn't about to believe he would lose, especially since he had now mastered Super Saiyan 4.
To ensure his combat strength was at its peak, he had even come to North Kai's planet to learn new techniques. With the addition of the Kaio-ken, his power level could reach quadrillions.
Whether he could achieve even greater strength depended on his body's ability to withstand it!
Even if Frieza had his golden form, could he really withstand Mu Chuan at full power?
Mu Chuan wasn't sure.
But he knew he had to fight.
"North Kai, I need to head to Earth now, or they'll completely destroy it."
"But—" North Kai hastily tried to stop him. "What are you thinking? Yes, your combat strength is indeed formidable, but how can you possibly stand against Frieza as he is now?"
"His energy is terrifying, and he's brought so many warriors from Hell. You can't possibly deal with this!"
"Better to live to fight another day. Besides, those who die can be revived with the Dragon Balls on Namek. There's no need to take such risks!"
North Kai pleaded urgently. To him, Mu Chuan was the only Saiyan with significant power left. As long as Mu Chuan was alive, there was still a chance to resist Frieza. If he acted recklessly now, who would be left to stop Frieza?
North Kai was panicking.
However, Mu Chuan didn't heed his advice. In an instant, he teleported to Earth.
He knew that his actions were indeed risky, but he had his reasons.
Besides…
Fighting is the quickest way for a Saiyan to grow stronger. Saiyans never back down from a battle!
