: A simplified version of Ultra Instinct?

Chapter 96: A simplified version of Ultra Instinct?

"Frieza, it's time to pay the price for your evil deeds."

Amidst the furious roar.

Carrying power enough to shatter stars, Piccolo's heavy punch slammed down, also carrying the Namekian's immense rage towards the invaders.

At this moment, Piccolo represents not only himself, but the entire Namekian race.

A deafening boom!

Piccolo's punch was blocked by Frieza's arm.

Even at 30% of his power, Frieza's strength is incredibly formidable.

In terms of pure numerical values, it is superior to Bick.

"You think you can defeat me with just this little bit of skill? You're delusional, Namekian." Piccolo's arrogance revealed Frieza's true colors.

An extraordinary and intense battle thus begins.

In terms of actual combat strength, Piccolo has reached an unprecedented level.

With the help of his combat skills and the body and will honed through long-term training in the gravity training room, Piccolo's strength far exceeded his apparent numerical level, and he could even suppress Frieza, who was using 30% of his power, to a certain extent.

Of course, Frieza will not be completely passive.

Even though he has never seriously trained or fought since birth, the power inherited from Frieza is not fake.

He doesn't need to work hard to become stronger because his stable strength after birth is already at the level of a cosmic emperor.

Fists and feet collided, creating countless ripples in the air.

The speed was so fast that even Goku and Raditz, whose power levels reached millions, could not see it clearly.

Others could only try their best to capture it by relying on their perception of the aura.

The sound of airbursts was incessant, terrifying beyond measure.

As the battle progressed, Frieza realized that his repeated concealment of his true abilities was a mistake.

These ants, because he repeatedly showed them leniency, became increasingly troublesome, even causing him, the emperor of the universe, to lose face.

Frieza's retaliation grew increasingly fierce as his emotions became swayed.

Faced with Piccolo's punches and kicks, Frieza also demonstrated his extraordinary fighting ability.

They are all geniuses, possessing terrifying potential, capable of challenging opponents of higher levels.

It can be said that Frieza's terrifying abilities completely surpass Piccolo's.

After all, the original story was ahead of its time. After Frieza was resurrected, he reached the level of the seventh dimension with only a few months of training, and even completed a higher level of transformation, the Golden Form.

Even though it involved more than a decade of hellish experience, this outburst was a burst of energy that far surpassed all others.

And this was only the early stage of the advanced era. Later on, Frieza even completed his Black Gold form.

They immediately and forcefully suppressed everything; Granora and Jas were nothing to them.

To be precise, Black Gold Frieza was so powerful that he could defeat Ultra Instinct Kujira with a single punch and Ultra Instinct Beelzebub with a single kick.

Of course, that's a later development.

In the present situation, it is impossible for Frieza to achieve a breakthrough due to emotional fluctuations and a power surge.

At this point, Frieza wouldn't even consider a higher-level golden form.

Bang! Boom! Bang! Bang! ..."

Intense collisions continued to occur.

During their high-speed movement, Piccolo and Frieza transformed into two aurora borealis, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes landing on an island, sometimes crashing into the sea, and sometimes returning to the sky.

Namek became the battlefield, and neither of them held back at their current level.

……

Meanwhile, it is located on North King Kaiser.

Watching the battle escalate time and time again, and seeing his disciples suffer defeat after defeat.

There was still a sliver of hope that Goku and Raditz could defeat King Kai of the North, but now all hope for defeating Frieza rests on Lin Chuan.

Piccolo is strong!

However, King Kai knew all too well the terror of becoming Frieza.

This battle has only just begun.

If Piccolo doesn't have stronger methods, the result will undoubtedly be a brutal defeat.

"Elder, since you've already guessed the outcome, why not arrange for more Namekians to be assimilated by Piccolo? Although the remaining Namekians might not be as strong as Nail, if the rest are assimilated together, Piccolo might be able to surpass Frieza."

"When the time comes, once Frieza is defeated, we can use the Dragon Balls to make a wish and revive the Namekians who have been assimilated."

King Kai kept expressing his thoughts.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get involved in this incident.

Otherwise, even if he were openly assisting others in killing Frieza, it would mean he was helping them.

He was afraid of being held accountable by Beerus, the God of Destruction, since Frieza was the God of Destruction's representative during his slumber.

If he helps others destroy Frieza, he will be going against Beerus, and Beerus will come after him.

"Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan, isn't it about time you made your move? Everyone else's strength has been enhanced because of Frieza, which should be your plan as well, right?" King Kai turned his gaze to Lin Chuan.

Although it has only been a little over a month since he first met Lin Chuan, he has already gained a general understanding of what kind of person Lin Chuan is.

……

On Namek.

As Piccolo's suppression of him intensified, Frieza unknowingly used forty percent of his power.

4800 million combat power!

If it were an ordinary being with a combat power of 30 million, they would certainly be unable to withstand it.

However, after assimilation, Piccolo clearly unearthed a deeper source of power within his body, becoming stronger with each battle.

Although Naru couldn't completely make up for what Piccolo lacked, he did play a certain role.

"It's time to end this! Take this, Frieza!" Unable to gain the upper hand in the clash of fists and feet, and unable to defeat Frieza, Piccolo was under increasing pressure and decided not to waste any more time.

He unleashed a powerful attack, gathering terrifying energy in the battle before unleashing it directly.

Frieza clearly felt threatened by this attack.

The next second, he used all his strength to maintain his body and raised his hand to block Piccolo's Super Explosive Magic Wave.

This scene was incredibly moving.

But Frieza directly used his own body to block the energy from being devoured.

Just like in the original work, Frieza blocked Goku's Kamehameha wave with a 20x Kaioken.

"What?!" Piccolo felt a deep sense of resentment when his full-force attack was blocked.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and released energy beyond his limits.

At this point, there is no turning back.

The scalding heat he felt in his hands grew stronger and stronger, and Frieza dared not be careless any longer.

He gritted his teeth, and the energy within his body surged rapidly.

The next second, while defending, he unleashed a terrifying energy cannon from his palm.

Boom!!!

A colossal explosion, of utter horror, ripped through the sky.

A terrifying storm swept across an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

The aftershocks seem capable of destroying everything.

Fire and smoke filled the sky, enveloping Frieza's figure.

You can't see it, but everyone knows Frieza is alright!

Not only did its aura not weaken in the slightest, but it became even stronger.

……

On the edge of the battlefield.

The Z warriors gasped in shock.

Sun Wukong and Raditz gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.

"Damn it! Piccolo is already this strong, and he's still no match for Frieza?!" Raditz was questioning his existence.

At this moment, he seemed to realize again that he was just like the frog at the bottom of the well.

Frieza, on the other hand, was the strongest being outside the well, looking down upon the weak Frieza.

"Even now, if I used the Kaioken at 10x speed, I'm probably still not as strong as Piccolo..." Goku muttered to himself.

His strength did increase significantly after recovering from his serious injuries, but he still couldn't get involved in this duel.

Unless, of course, a higher power Kaioken is used, like twenty times...

However, his body absolutely could not withstand the 20x Kaioken. At most, he could only use it for a short time and launch a few attacks before reaching his limit.

"Even Goku and Raditz couldn't get involved... so what use are we?" Krillin's face was full of worry, and he was extremely afraid.

Where is the excitement he had when his strength increased so much at the beginning?

The gap is too big.

"So, all we can do is pray that Piccolo can hold back and defeat Frieza?" Tien Shinhan tried to calm himself down, but he just couldn't.

I've always been striving to become stronger, and I've always been chasing my dreams.

Goku is a Saiyan, and his strength keeps increasing, reaching a level that is difficult for others to even look up to.

Piccolo is a Namekian, and he's even more amazing than Goku now.

What about him?

He is a three-eyed alien... but he is no match for anyone.

Even, he's only slightly stronger than Krillin.

The difference in the people he was comparing himself to caused Tien Shinhan to develop a mental block.

"Tch! When it comes to the final moment, I, the prince, still have to come up with the ideas?! All of you listen up, this might be your last chance."

"You guys don't actually think that damn Namekian can beat that monster Frieza, do you?!"

Suddenly, Vegeta, who had been silent all along, spoke.

The prince's tone was still as arrogant as ever.

Everyone focused their attention, their surprised gazes clearly expressing their confusion.

Only Raditz disregarded it.

His personal feud with Vegeta ran too deep; he scoffed at anything Vegeta said.

"Speak your mind. Nobody likes to see your self-important prince act." Those words made Vegeta's forehead veins bulge.

But at this moment, he could no longer dwell on these grudges.

They must defeat Frieza to survive.

Only by surviving can Vegeta have a chance to be reborn.

In his opinion, if Raditz and Kakarot can do it, then he definitely can too!

And that Talos...

Remembering this, Vegeta's eyes sharpened: "Before this, I was wondering why Talos didn't show up since you're all here? That guy's strength, once he becomes a Super Saiyan, is enough to kill Frieza."

Everyone froze upon hearing this.

Ultimately, this group of people was just too confident... so they arrived on Namek before Lin Chuan returned.

"It's too late to say anything now. Lin Chuan isn't here, so you can tell me your plan now, Vegeta," Goku asked.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta gasped in shock, realizing his guess had come true.

He immediately began to talk about the Saiyans' characteristic of greatly increasing their strength after recovering from serious injuries, and how Raditz and Goku greatly increased their strength after recovering from being beaten so badly by Frieza.

The suggestion is that if Raditz and Goku were to escape the brink of death again, they might recover and gain power surpassing Frieza!

It can even reach the bottleneck of Super Saiyan.

But... at this moment, Gohan spoke.

Because everyone was training inside the spaceship when they arrived, of the twenty or thirty Senzu Beans they brought, only one remains.

This means that after they arrived on Namek, only three Senzu Beans remained.

They gave one to Vegeta and one to Goku.

Bick had kept one and given it to Raditz.

"So, we only have one chance? In that case, Kakarot, you go!" Raditz suddenly spoke up.

At times like these, he suddenly becomes selfless.

He also wanted to become stronger.

However, he realized that he was not as good as Kakarot now, so even if he crawled back from the brink of death, he would not be as strong as Kakarot.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

Only Vegeta clenched his fists.

He had planned to take this opportunity to try again... but unexpectedly, there was only one magical bean left.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Vegeta offered a backup plan: "If even that doesn't work, then we'll have to transform into a Great Ape! In Great Ape form, our Saiyan fighting power increases tenfold! Kakarot, you should be able to control that, right?!"

Another trick up their sleeve, and everyone realized they weren't completely out of options.

But another sentence from Goku left Vegeta dumbfounded.

His tail was cut off by the god Piccolo long ago... and it has never grown back.

The discussions were still ongoing, but little did they know that time was running out for them.

……

in the sky.

As the smoke cleared, Frieza's hideous face was revealed along with his body.

He is angry!

After such a long and arduous battle, he gradually lost his patience.

Especially since the Namekian in front of him was so powerful that he was being threatened.

Even compared to him, there is still a considerable gap.

But who knows if the Namekians had a backup plan?

"The battle ends here, Namekian. You have pleased me, so I will unleash a powerful technique to take your life."

With a growing murderous intent in his eyes, Frieza raised his hand, and a massive surge of energy erupted from his body, gathering at the tip of his index finger.

In just a moment, a dark purple energy sphere condensed and emerged, carrying boundless malevolent energy.

This move is Frieza's unique Planet Destroyer Bomb!

He attempted to use it in the original work, but failed due to the Spirit Bomb.

This move is slightly less powerful than the Supernova, but it is still Frieza's ultimate attack.

Faced with the terrifying pressure that was rushing towards him, Piccolo was greatly shocked.

Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, he immediately gathered his power at top speed.

"I won't just sit here and wait to die! Frieza! You overestimate yourself!!" Even knowing the difference in strength was evident, Piccolo still maintained his arrogance.

He's focusing all his energy on unleashing the Special Beam Cannon!

Kill enemies far stronger than you!

Even if he's at a higher level of strength, he can't do it!

But once you exceed the limit of the limit, things may change!

"At this point, you're still thinking about fighting to the death? I quite like your unruly attitude."

"Namekians, to be honest, there are very few people in the entire universe who can make me use fifty percent of my power."

"After I use the Dragon Balls to achieve my wish of immortality, I will destroy your planet and make all the Namekians who are still alive pay for it. Don't thank me."

"Hohohohohoho~~~!!!"

Frieza's words, spoken with a cold yet gentlemanly tone, were a pronouncement of Piccolo's death sentence and the fate of the Namekians.

The next second, the dark purple energy ball that condensed at the tip of his index finger rapidly expanded, reaching a kilometer in size.

With a sudden throw, a massive energy blast pierced through space and hurtled towards Piccolo.

"Special Power - Light Slash - Cannon!!" Piccolo decisively unleashed his ultimate technique, condensing his energy to the maximum extent.

A spiral-shaped beam of orange-yellow energy tore through space and sped into the sky.

The clash of their respective ultimate techniques caused the surrounding area, spanning dozens of miles, to change color.

Bick's expression grew increasingly grim.

His ultimate move, the Special Beam Cannon that surpasses all limits, is being pushed back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only did it fail to penetrate Frieza's energy blast, it was also directly suppressed and forced to retreat.

"Hohohohoho!! Namekian, your death is near." Frieza grinned sinisterly, increasing the propulsion of the black-purple energy blast.

It was filled with boundless destructive power and instantly shattered the Special Beam Cannon.

"Damn it!" Looking at the massive destructive energy that was constantly approaching from the sky, Piccolo knew that he could not escape.

If you get hit, you'll lose half your life, if not die.

If he were to dodge, the planet beneath his feet would be directly damaged.

The ending seemed to have been predetermined at this point.

But just as Bick gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to the death...

In the distance, a beam of golden energy hurtled towards them and struck the dark purple energy ball.

Although it did not directly detonate the energy, it did change the trajectory of the dark purple energy ball.

After the energy blast flew backwards for tens of miles, it was lifted off the surface of Namek by some mysterious force and reached an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

Boom!

The massive explosion triggered an extremely terrifying apocalyptic storm.

Although the devastating attack did not directly destroy Namek, the planet's terrain was altered due to the increased atmospheric pressure, and the planet continued to tremble and shake.

Bick, who narrowly escaped death, still doesn't understand what happened.

When he fully came to his senses, only one possibility came to mind.

[Could it be...it's him?!] With Lin Chuan's image flashing through his mind, Bick unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that now, apart from him, no one else can do this.

"Hmph!! You have so many reinforcements, so many that even I can't keep up!!" A shadow crossed Frieza's eyes.

This time, he was truly enraged.

Every time you try to kill an enemy, you are thwarted one after another.

This made him very unhappy.

Frieza stared straight ahead, completely ignoring Piccolo.

"How about I become your opponent, Frieza?" Lin Chuan's slow voice rang out.

Lin Chuan appeared in the space without anyone noticing; it was just as natural as he appeared.

It was as if he hadn't done anything at all.

"I knew it was you, hmph!! Judging from your appearance, you arrived here a long time ago, but you didn't show up until now, were you waiting to see me make a fool of myself?" After confirming that it was Lin Chuan, Bick completely relaxed.

Although he was very unhappy, Piccolo, the mighty Demon King, was so powerful that he still needed to be saved.

However, Lin Chuan made him feel completely at ease and dependable.

This is a change that has been brought about gradually and imperceptibly over a long period of time.

"Tch! Another wild monkey? This is never going to end!" Frieza, his temper flaring, decisively changed his target and charged at Lin Chuan.

"Watch out!" Piccolo's eyes widened at Frieza's action, and he quickly shouted a warning.

"Die!! You wild monkey!" With fifty percent of his power, Frieza was about to kill Lin Chuan on the spot.

Just as he was about to reach Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan also moved in an instant.

His body reacted instantly, delivering a back kick that struck Frieza in the cheek.

With a muffled thud, Frieza's body flew backward.

Frieza, who was sent flying, was shocked. The intense pain made him lose his senses, and he tumbled dozens of times in mid-air before regaining his balance.

He touched the spot where he had been hit hard, the shock in his eyes hard to conceal.

Keep in mind that 50% of his combat power equals 60 million combat power points.

This wild monkey was even able to injure him.

Ever since the first battle with this group, things have gotten increasingly strange, with each new opponent proving to be more formidable than the last.

I thought that using 30% of my final form's fighting power would be enough to end this battle, but now even 50% isn't enough.

"What's wrong? Starting to doubt yourself, Frieza?" Lin Chuan smiled slightly, crossed his arms, and stared at Frieza with a cold gaze.

Frieza did not answer, but simply stared coldly at Lin Chuan.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Bick knew what would happen next, and as the loser, he decisively left the stage.

……

Outside the battlefield.

Just as Goku was about to accept Vegeta's suggestion to undergo self-destruction to recover and increase his strength.

The situation completely changed after Lin Chuan appeared.

They, who were previously shrouded in death and despair, can now finally stop worrying.

Lin Chuan's arrival means that Frieza's reign is truly over.

Even if they are no match, Lin Chuan can win!

Because Lin Chuan is a Super Saiyan!

"Great! As long as Uncle Lin Chuan is here, Frieza isn't scary at all!" Gohan shouted happily.

"Talos has finally arrived... Frieza, your death is nigh!!" Raditz clenched his fist excitedly, no longer needing to resort to other means.

Now, the Super Saiyan that Frieza fears is right in front of him, and he doesn't even know it.

"With him taking action, I don't need to take any more risks." Sun Wukong knew exactly how powerful Lin Chuan was.

The terror of the Super Saiyans remains fresh in my memory.

"Thank goodness, that guy really knows how to pick his time, he came at just the right moment." Klin was covered in sweat, wiping it off with his hands.

He witnessed Lin Chuan's strength firsthand; compared to him, Frieza was just a chicken.

"Great, Tianjin!" Dumpling exclaimed joyfully.

"Yeah, we can finally see a Super Saiyan." Tien Shinhan focused his attention, his three eyes fixed on Lin Chuan without blinking.

Although he knew what had happened, he was unconscious at the time and did not know the specifics.

Yamcha remained silent to the side.

Besides everyone else, Vegeta's emotions were also fluctuating wildly.

Although he was very unwilling, he still hoped that Lin Chuan could kill Frieza.

Let Frieza see what a true Super Saiyan is all about.

……

high in the air.

The atmosphere of confrontation grew increasingly intense.

Lin Chuan was casually dispelling the oppressive aura Frieza was exerting on him.

Unable to fathom the depths of the person before him, Frieza grew increasingly wary and uneasy.

The temperature in the surrounding space dropped rapidly, and Frieza chose to attack with his aura, engaging Lin Chuan in battle.

After a brief ten-second silence.

Frieza was even more astonished, because no matter how he attacked, it was as if he was hitting cotton, and some of his attacks were even bounced back.

"Who...who are you?" Frieza realized that Lin Chuan was different from anyone else before.

He's a Saiyan, but he's ridiculously strong.

Raditz and Goku both used various methods to fight him.

The difference is evident in the comparison.

An instinctive response gave Frieza a premonition that he would have to give it his all to end the battle.

"I'm just a Saiyan, Frieza," Lin Chuan said with a slight smile, not exaggerating.

"Hmph!! If you don't want to say it, then you might as well never say it at all." Not wanting to waste any more words, Frieza raised his hands.

With a thought, superpowers are unleashed.

In an instant, the ground within a radius of several miles began to tremble violently.

The massive island behind Frieza was directly peeled away from its depths by his superpowers.

Its size is so enormous, yet it can be directly controlled with one's abilities; it is terrifying.

With a thought, Frieza slammed the enormous island, nearly ten thousand meters in diameter, toward Lin Chuan.

"Such a boring trick won't work on me, Frieza." Without hesitation, Lin Chuan raised his hand and shot out a beam of energy from his palm.

The energy beam struck the island suspended in mid-air.

Boom! Boom! In just an instant, the entire island collapsed, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Lin Chuan was unaware that this was exactly the effect Frieza wanted.

He felt that Lin Chuan's view was blocked, which was the best time for him to strike.

While the fragments of the boulder still lingered in the air, Frieza took the initiative, his ghostly figure moving among the rock fragments, arriving behind Lin Chuan without anyone noticing.

He thought this sneak attack would succeed, but little did he know that Lin Chuan had already sensed his movements through his aura.

"Die!!!" Frieza's killing intent surged, and he stabbed at Lin Chuan's heart with his right hand in a claw-like motion, seemingly aiming to kill him with one blow.

Having already sensed Frieza's presence, Lin Chuan instantly used Instant Transmission, appearing behind Frieza in the blink of an eye.

Under the incredulous gaze of the other party, a whip kick swept across.

A loud "bang!" of flesh being pierced rang out.

The terrifying destructive force swept in all directions, pulverizing all the surrounding rock fragments.

Frieza, struck hard, was sent flying like a cannonball.

Taking advantage of Frieza's weakness, Lin Chuan decisively released his energy to chase after the flying Frieza.

Countless golden energy orbs rained down on Frieza's location like a storm of pear blossoms.

Even as he flew backward, Frieza lived up to his reputation as a powerful emperor. After quickly regaining control of his body, he was furious and unleashed his superpowers, destroying all the incoming energy blasts.

Boom! The explosion engulfed the entire horizon, its destructive power so terrifying that it subtly distorted space itself.

"Die!!!!!" Frieza sensed the impending danger and unleashed all his remaining strength, punching behind him.

Just then, Lin Chuan used his teleportation ability to appear behind Frieza again. Having anticipated this, he assumed a defensive stance and blocked Frieza's punch.

"Eeeyaah!!!!!" Seizing the opportunity, Frieza did not hesitate and began a devastating offensive against Lin Chuan.

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ……*

The shockwave generated by the collision was terrifying, creating layers of sonic booms in the sky.

Frieza's countless fierce and ruthless attacks were perfectly defended by Lin Chuan, making him virtually invincible.

Even without using his Super Saiyan transformation, Frieza was like a plaything in Lin Chuan's hands, completely under his control.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan's combat power has reached 4150 million points!

While it's not as much as Frieza's 60 million points (50% of his total), Lin Chuan's Super Saiyan energy pool can be mobilized, allowing him to enhance his power by one or two times at will without needing to transform into any kind of mimicry Super Saiyan.

Of course, at this point, Lin Chuan didn't even need to rely on the Super Saiyan energy pool.

His strength is constantly increasing, and his methods are becoming more and more diverse.

The special skill of foreseeing the future, learned on the planet Adelaide, is proving extremely useful at this moment.

He had anticipated every attack from Frieza and was able to react immediately.

Such responsiveness, such speed, and such effortless maneuvering.

It's like a simplified version of Ultra Instinct!

To be honest, the skills of the Yadrat aliens are really amazing.

Although there are no particularly powerful beings in their tribe, every single one of the techniques they have invented is a divine skill that allows them to challenge opponents of a higher level!

In a closely contested battle, being able to anticipate the opponent's next move essentially secures victory.

Even in a battle where the odds are stacked against each other, being able to foresee the future gives you a chance to turn the tide, or even achieve a decisive victory!
