Early the next morning, everyone arrived at the competition area.
The gravity of the arena was increased once again, reaching a thousand times.
[The next match will be between Goku from Universe 18 and Frieza from Universe 8.]
Goku stepped into the arena.
Frieza, who was on the opposite side, smiled sinisterly and said, "Tell me, Saiyan, would you like to come with me to my place?"
Goku asked, "What do you mean?"
Frieza said, "I invite you. Do you want to come over to my place?"
Goku said, "Mmm... Sure, why not."
As soon as Goku agreed, the area changed to an icy and windy desert.
Goku looked around in surprise.
Frieza said, "You are in my place, an illusionary world. If I win here, I win the match. How about that?"
Goku thought. 'So this place is similar to Babidi's magic. I didn't know Frieza could do this.'
Goku said confidently, "No problem. The fight will be more interesting in this way."
Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, and they began fighting.
Frieza's conspiracy succeeded, and then he attacked quickly with a kick.
Goku blocked the kick and countered with a punch while Frieza fell back.
Goku said, "Well, it's very cold, but that's about it. This landscape isn't really to your advantage, Frieza."
As he spoke, Goku felt it became much harder to breathe, and his face looked older.
Frieza explained, "It seems you've noticed. The oxygen concentration here is very low. Time also passes differently, and we've already aged 20 years. But such things only affect inferior races like yours. I've already won."
Goku said, "Then I won't waste any more time."
Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, intending to finish the battle immediately, but then lost his form and seemed exhausted.
Goku and Frieza fought again. Goku had the advantage even as a Super Saiyan, and after a short exchange, Frieza was sent crashing into some rocks.
However, Frieza, although stunned, wasn't finished and stood up. Purple light on his finger shined, and several Death Beams were shot out.
Frieza said, "Hahaha. Your movements are slowing down."
This Frieza was much stronger than the one on Namek since he trained for many years, and as he flew in the air, he fired several concentrated energy balls at Goku.
Goku raised his arm.
Frieza said, "You think you'll be able to stop them all? You're finished, monkey."
The attacks moved towards him, but at the last moment Goku teleported in front of Frieza.
As an old man, Goku fired a Kamehameha into his face, ending the fight.
In the outside world, Goku found himself in control of his body, and his appearance also returned to normal.
Goku said, "It seems I've won."
Frieza angrily said, "No, I said that if I win the fight, I win the match, but nothing about the other way around. This match isn't over."
Frieza powered up, reaching his 100% state.
Goku said, "Well, since you insist."
Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, appeared in front of Frieza, and punched him in the face.
Frieza crashed into the protective barrier.
After gaining victory, Goku let out a long breath, then jumped off the ring.
[The next match will be between Vegeta from Universe 18 and Kakarot from Universe 13.]
Super Vegeta smiled and walked out of the contestant area with his arms crossed.
"Hmph, looks like I'm lucky."
Thirteen Kakarot yelled like a madman now that he had the chance to fight against Vegeta, and he ran onto the ring.
In their universe, Thirteen Kakarot had always been suppressed by Thirteen Vegeta.
Super Vegeta had the same feeling, but he wasn't as excited and said, "It's a pity you're just a shadow and can't compare to the real Kakarot."
Thirteen Kakarot laughed. "Hmph, shadow? I have a special skill that none of you have."
Thirteen Kakarot shot a glowing orb resembling the moon into the air, and his tail swayed.
Thirteen Raditz and Thirteen Nappa were very surprised; after all, Kakarot's tail was gone long ago, and with the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, the tail was useless.
Under the special illumination of the moonlight, Thirteen Kakarot's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and thick hair grew on his body.
His eyes turned blood red, his body rapidly enlarged as he let out a roar, and he transformed into a Great Ape.
Super Vegeta watched indifferently, without any intention of stopping him.
After transforming into a Great Ape, Kakarot didn't lose control.
His body burned with a golden aura, and the hair on his body also turned golden.
As he transformed into a Golden Great Ape, the soaring aura around him increased, shaking the arena while he let out a wild roar.
This was the special ability that Super Buu gave him through magic, allowing him to combine the power of a Great Ape and Super Saiyan while remaining sane.
His strength increase was equivalent to the Super Saiyan 3 form.
Of course a transformation does not determine everything, and the strength of the base form is crucial.
Vegeta finished stretching his body and transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Even though a Super Saiyan was four times weaker than a Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta's base form was much higher than Thirteen Kakarot's, especially after following Whis to train.
The Golden Great Ape's fist fell, but Vegeta didn't flinch. Gathering energy in his hand, he punched towards him.
Vegeta's fist seemed insignificant under the fist of the Golden Great Ape, and many people were not very optimistic about this confrontation.
But at the moment when the fists collided, the Golden Great Ape was thrown backwards as the arena under Vegeta's feet was crushed by the immense force.
