DB: Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline at the Start-Chapter 23: What Kind of Monster Is This?

Frieza slowly walked up to Cado and said flatly, "I didn't expect to run into someone as powerful as you. What a surprise. To kill you... honestly, it'd be a shame."

"Oh come now, Lord Frieza, don't flatter me. Looking at the sorry state you're in, where did you even get the nerve to talk like that?"

Cado chuckled lightly, speaking calmly to Frieza.

Of course, he knew Frieza was still holding back a lot of his power.

But so what if he used it? It's not like Cado had gone all out either.

"I knew you'd say that. Still, those who don't understand the situation clearly... end up dead."

Frieza's indifferent expression gradually turned cold and menacing.

"Great. Then let's see who doesn't understand the situation."

Cado responded with a confident grin.

Frieza had no idea how strong Cado truly was.

But Cado? He had Frieza's power completely figured out. If he wasn't absolutely certain, he would never have allowed Frieza the chance to transform.

He would've been dead a long time ago.

"You're still just as arrogant. But you'll soon understand why I said what I did."

Frieza smirked nonchalantly.

At the same time, he extended all five fingers toward Cado.

"With just 50% of my power, I can erase a cocky brat like you without a trace."

Frieza sneered, a look of disdain flashing across his face.

Fifty percent of his strength meant a combat power of 60 million.

No matter how strong the man before him was, he couldn't possibly surpass that number.

"Fifty percent? Why not go all the way to one hundred?" Cado asked, while calculating silently.

A combat power of 60 million was indeed troublesome. His own level was only 16 million at the moment.

If he wanted a crushing victory, he'd have to use the Kaio-ken.

"One hundred percent? You think too highly of yourself. Someone like you doesn't deserve that. Fifty percent is more than enough."

Frieza's voice was icy.

Right after speaking—

A terrifying aura exploded from Frieza's body.

His blood began to race, and powerful energy currents wrapped around him like a raging storm.

In that instant, multicolored lights burst from Frieza's eyes.

His ki surged out in just a few breaths, reaching an absolutely terrifying level.

"His... his power's rising again!"

Goku stared nervously at the battlefield.

He couldn't imagine just how much more shocking these two monsters could get.

Piccolo was completely dumbfounded.

'Damn... this is just insane.'

That level of power—he couldn't even comprehend it.

"Hoh hoh hoh... 60 million in combat power. Not bad."

Cado's expression finally shifted.

That kind of pressure wasn't something just anyone could endure.

With only 16 million himself, he couldn't hope to block it.

In a split second, a crushing weight bore down on him from Frieza's unleashed aura.

Frieza, watching closely, noticed the change on Cado's face.

"What's wrong, boy? You scared already?"

"But even if you kneel and beg right now, I still won't spare your life."

Frieza grinned smugly.

He was quite pleased with the flicker of emotion he'd seen in Cado's face, even if it only lasted a second.

Cado didn't immediately respond.

Frieza did have some chops.

A combat power of 60 million wasn't anything in the later Dragon Ball era.

Even if Frieza used his full 120 million, he'd still be knocked out in one punch.

But right now? Frieza was without a doubt the strongest being in the universe.

Unfortunately for him, he ran into someone even more absurd—Cado.

"Scared? Nah. Just a bit surprised, that's all."

Cado shrugged casually.

"Still pretending, huh? Let's see how long you can keep up the act."

Frieza sneered coldly.

He was convinced Cado was just bluffing to save face.

As soon as the words left his mouth—

Whoosh!

Frieza vanished in an instant!

BOOM!

A second later, a thunderous crash echoed through the sky.

Frieza moved too fast to see—before anyone could react, Cado's body was already sent flying.

He smashed straight through two nearby mountains, tumbling through rubble before finally skidding to a halt.

"Pfft—blegh!"

Cado spat out mouthfuls of gravel and sand.

"That was cheap! I wasn't ready, and you go for a sneak attack?!"

Stretching his limbs and cracking his neck, he complained with mock annoyance.

But in his eyes, a fire had been lit—every cell in his body now awake and buzzing.

This excitement... it was like something buried deep in his genes had been awakened.

Maybe this was the power of that Saiyan blood.

"Kaio-ken... times five!!"

Cado clenched both fists, shouting sharply.

A crimson aura burst from within, cloaking his body like fire.

Dust and stones blasted away from under his feet.

His combat power surged to 80 million.

That put him a full 20 million above Frieza, instantly reversing the energy gap.

"W-Wait... is that Kaio-ken?!"

"How does Cado know that technique?!"

Goku stood stunned, thoughts racing.

That was a move he himself had barely learned from King Kai.

Seeing Cado use it so casually caught him completely off guard.

"Looks like you've powered up a bit. But in the face of absolute strength, it's still meaningless!"

Frieza's tone turned cold.

He couldn't sense ki, but it was obvious from Cado's transformation that he had grown much stronger.

"Oh yeah? Then let's test that theory!"

Cado grinned, then vanished in a flash of red light.

"Tch, is that all?"

Frieza scoffed, vanishing in response.

BANG!

Their figures collided midair like meteors.

A shockwave of terrifying energy exploded outward, warping the very air around them.

At the same time, the ground below split open, mountains randomly shattered into dust, disintegrating into fine powder.

In the middle of the furious clash—

Frieza was blasted backward, face scraping along the ground as he skidded dozens of meters before coming to a stop.

Cado, on the other hand, stood rock-solid, unaffected.

Clearly, he had taken the upper hand in their exchange.

After all, a 20 million combat power lead was no joke.

"Damn it... DAMN IT!"

Frieza slowly got up, kneeling on one leg, his face twisted in fury.

His fists pounded the ground in frustration.

The entire planet shook from the impact.

He couldn't comprehend it.

He had used 50% of his full strength in that blow. Not only did it fail to kill Cado...

He'd actually been blown away instead.

It was completely beyond anything he had imagined.

Just what kind of monster... is this guy?
