Chapter 21: Frieza: Oh ho ho ho!
Just a tiny bit of divine pressure released following Beerus' words was enough to make Frieza not dare to breathe and instinctively tremble.
"Please rest assured, Lord Beerus... I know what to do..."
Frieza forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, pretending to be serious as he replied.
Although he feared the God of Destruction Beerus, he was now Beerus' agent, which meant they were on the same side.
In fact, his heart was filled with indescribable joy.
At the very least, Beerus also wanted to destroy the Saiyans, which aligned perfectly with his original plan. Moreover, Beerus was even more terrifying, ready to destroy Planet Vegeta at the slightest provocation.
"Very good! Then, from now on, do your job well as my agent."
Having achieved his goal, Beerus withdrew his divine power and turned to Whis, saying, "The matter is settled. We can leave now, Whis."
"Yes, Lord Beerus," Whis responded with a faint smile.
As he raised the Angel's scepter in his hand, the Angel's power transformed into a dazzling rainbow light, enveloping the two of them.
In no time, the light faded, and the two had vanished from the spaceship, as if they had never been here.
With their departure, the fear that had gripped Frieza's body and soul also disappeared.
The God of Destruction's agent!!
From today onwards, Frieza was officially sanctioned to dominate the universe!!!
No one, no matter who they were, could take this position away from him!
"Oh ho ho ho~~!!!!" In high spirits, Frieza suddenly burst into wild laughter.
The two elite soldiers nearby exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding growing within them.
Today, their worldview has been shattered as they realized that such terrifying beings exist in this universe.
God of Destruction, Beerus! Even their Lord Frieza had to grovel before him.
[He wouldn't... kill us, right?]
[Even if Lord Frieza wants to eliminate witnesses, Saris and I shouldn't be on that list... After all, our power level is 15,000! We're elites among elites...]
The two continued to reassure themselves, lost in their fantasies.
But soon, their ominous feeling came true.
"You two have been my loyal subordinates, even receiving praise from Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. But it's a pity..." Frieza suddenly turned around, a murderous glint flashing in his scarlet eyes.
Deky and Saris were instantly consumed by fear, their faces paling.
Being quite sharp-witted, they immediately began to beg for mercy.
They knew what Frieza intended to do. If they couldn't even sense that, they wouldn't have risen to their current positions.
"L-Lord Frieza! P-Please, no!!"
"Lord Frieza... spare us! We didn't see anything."
They desperately pleaded.
Why didn't they resist?
Because they knew all too well the vast difference in power.
"Oh my? It seems you really are quite perceptive. I hadn't even said anything, and you already knew I planned to kill you to silence you. It seems you do understand how I think." Frieza spoke with a pleasant smile.
This cat-and-mouse game was something he never tires of.
Deky and Saris seemed to think they had narrowly escaped.
But the next second, two beams of energy shot out from Frieza's eyes without any warning, piercing their hearts in a mere 0.01 seconds.
Warriors with a power level of 15,000 were mercilessly killed by Frieza in an instant.
"I don't mind having subordinates who try to read my thoughts! But if they understand my thoughts and still hold on to a sliver of hope, then such subordinates are worthless to me.
"Fools who can't grasp the situation...Sure enough, Zarbon and Dodoria are the only ones who understand me the best."
With these words, Frieza turned his gaze to the others inside the spaceship.
At that moment, everyone gulped in fear.
They were unfortunate enough to have witnessed Frieza groveling before Beerus, so they all had to die.
Blood splattered everywhere, painting the entire cockpit red, with severed limbs and scattered entrails emitting a foul stench.
The scene was nothing short of bloody and cruel.
But to Frieza, it was just another day, merely fueling his bloodthirsty desires.
"Since even the God of Destruction Beerus has given the order, I must accelerate the process of annihilating the Saiyans.
"But before that, I'll squeeze out the last bit of value from the Saiyans..." With these words, Frieza sat back in his hover pod, his expression utterly cold, as if everything he did just now had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until some of the soldiers outside sensed something amiss that someone finally entered the cockpit.
When they saw the state of the cockpit, even the most battle-hardened warriors couldn't help but gasp.
Shock, fear, disbelief.
However, Frieza didn't give them much time to react because he now needed to contact his trusted subordinates.
After a quick cleanup by his subordinates, the cockpit staff was replaced, and Frieza contacted Dodoria and Zarbon, who were on a mission.
The plan to destroy Planet Vegeta was officially set in motion.
But before that, Frieza needed to create a more detailed, more comprehensive plan.
At the very least, he wanted to wipe out all the Saiyans in one go, making that legend impossible while also completing the destruction task assigned by God of Destruction Beerus.
...
Returning back to Planet Vegeta.
By now, the night was deepening, and it was midnight when Talot, Bardock, and Gine finally returned home.
It was a sleepless night; none of the three got the slightest bit of sleep.
Everything happened too quickly.
Raditz had left first, followed by sending Kakarot away.
Then, two days later, Talot and Salari were supposed to take Gine and leave Planet Vegeta.
One could say Bardock had thought things through very thoroughly.
By letting Gine and him go, he could attract the main attention, effectively avoiding many people's gaze.
After all, who would pay attention to a child with a power level of 400, accompanied by two low-class warriors with power levels barely in the hundreds, as they go off to invade a planet?
This also made Talot recall a forgotten memory from the original work.
Gine had indeed told Bardock that if they were worried about Frieza targeting the Saiyan race, they could escape Planet Vegeta with Kakarot first.
But Bardock had dismissed the idea, saying it was impossible. With their power levels, they would undoubtedly be discovered by Frieza's forces if they tried to escape Planet Vegeta.
Even King Vegeta would notice.
At that point, they would definitely be hunted down and killed.
