Chapter 321: Meeting Frieza

After opening the hatch, Dodoria flew straight out. It was evident that he was the type of alien who possessed the ability to survive in outer space; it was no wonder Frieza wanted him to go capture people.

At this moment, Uchiha Feiyu also saw Dodoria flying toward him. He pondered for a moment, opened his own spaceship's hatch, and went out to meet him as well.

"Huh? Is he actually an alien capable of surviving in space, too?"

Dodoria was slightly surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. The ability to survive in space was quite rare, but that didn't mean an alien with such an ability was necessarily very powerful.

"Let me see what your Power Level is..."

Pressing the Combat Power Detector on his face, Dodoria revealed a playful smile. But soon, as the numbers on the detector kept rising, the guy's expression froze.

1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 10,000, 20,000...

The numbers kept climbing, and soon, this high-level detector capable of measuring 30,000 Power Level shattered into pieces with a boom! "Ha... Logistics department... what are they doing?... Why did the detector break so quickly?"

Sweat dripped down Dodoria's forehead, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became incredibly strained. He already had a bad feeling in his heart... Could this Combat Power Detector have been blown up by the other party?

Races in the universe that possess the ability to change their Power Level are actually very rare, or one could say that most aliens have no concept of martial arts.

Therefore, when faced with a sudden jump in values on a Combat Power Detector, many of Frieza's subordinates who lacked experience would simply assume the detector was malfunctioning.

However, as Frieza's right-hand man, Dodoria could be considered knowledgeable. He was, of course, very clear that the detector's performance just now most likely meant he had encountered a powerhouse capable of concealing their Power Level; he just didn't want to believe it and had been deceiving himself.

But while he could deceive himself, on the other side, Frieza looked at the number displayed on the Battle Power Tester on his own spaceship and tilted his head slightly: "100,000 Power Level... It seems my guess was quite accurate! The other party is indeed just a native."

"Lord Frieza, your guess was truly accurate."

Sabo said with a flattering expression. Frieza let out a "ho-ho-ho" laugh twice: "That wasn't entirely a guess. The Battle Power Tester just now only detected one Power Level value in that ship. A warship that large having only one person is suspicious no matter how you look at it... If the other party's warship was stolen, then it makes sense."

"But for now, let's have Dodoria come back quickly! Tsk, a warrior with a Power Level of 100,000—to think I'd be lucky enough to encounter one."

Frieza's eyes revealed an eager expression. Sabo stepped back with great tact. Come to think of it, although there are many bosses in Dragon Ball, aside from some of the early comedic bosses, this real estate mogul Frieza can be considered the least evil among them.

There's no helping it; although Frieza can be called a complete villain, compared to pure collections of evil like Cell, Majin Buu, and King Piccolo—guys who only want to cause destruction—this diligent Universal Emperor is essentially a businessman who cares about profit.

Therefore, when he sees a powerful warrior, his first thought is to recruit them as a subordinate rather than killing them outright, showing a bit of a "thirst for talent."

Even with the Saiyans, if it weren't for the fact that they were always thinking of rebellion and had offended a certain God of Destruction, Frieza could have tolerated them.

By comparison, the remaining bosses only know how to play at genocide.

At this moment in space, the sweat on Dodoria's forehead flowed more and more. He took a deep breath:

"You over there, come with me! Lord Frieza wants to see you!"

"Oh? Wants to see me?"

Uchiha Feiyu's expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently: "I have heard of the name of the Universal Emperor Frieza, but if he wants to see me, he should at least come out in person to show some sincerity! Instead of sending a pink fat pig to invite me."

"You bastard!! Who are you calling a pink fat pig?!"

Dodoria was instantly enraged, glaring at Uchiha Feiyu. Uchiha Feiyu shrugged slightly and said with a light laugh:

"Whoever answers is the pink fat pig!"

"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!"

"Heh... If you have the ability, just do it, don't just stand there yapping!"

Uchiha Feiyu wasn't afraid in the slightest, looking at Dodoria with a cold sneer as he spoke.

With the conversation reaching this point, no matter how wary Dodoria was, he had no way to back down. After all, Frieza was watching him from behind! If it were confirmed that the other party's Power Level far exceeded his own, Dodoria running away would be somewhat excusable, but if he ran away now only to find out the other party was a fraud, even as Frieza's right-hand man, he would be punished.

The atmosphere gradually fell silent. After the two sides confronted each other for a moment, Dodoria gritted his teeth, his energy exploded, and he rushed toward Uchiha Feiyu with a flurry of punches and kicks. However, Uchiha Feiyu extended only one hand and caught all of his attacks.

As soon as they clashed, Dodoria felt his heart sink. Judging from the other party's relaxed state, he was definitely no match for him. It was clear the Battle Power Tester hadn't made any mistake—the opponent's strength was far above his own! But the more this was the case, the less Dodoria dared to stop. He was currently in an attacking stance, which might make the other party slightly wary; if he stopped attacking, he might be crushed in an instant.

However, Uchiha Feiyu told him that he was purely overthinking it; if he wanted to attack, no matter what stance Dodoria maintained, the result would only be getting beaten.

A fist crossed his arms and slammed into his big pink face. The entire chubby face caved in directly. Dodoria didn't even let out a groan before he was sent flying backward, blood spraying from his nose and mouth as he spat out a mouthful of old teeth. A basketball-sized Energy Ball appeared in Uchiha Feiyu's hand and was tossed out casually, smashing directly toward Dodoria. However, at this moment, a powerful Energy Beam suddenly appeared from afar and struck the ball.

The ball shifted its target slightly, while the Energy Beam seemed to have hit a black hole and vanished. Frieza, who had just sat in his small single-person vehicle and floated out of the spaceship, was slightly stunned and let out a soft "huh."

According to Frieza's earlier estimation, his Energy Beam should have completely crushed the other party's energy ball, but he hadn't expected it to only slightly shift the ball's trajectory. Furthermore, the fact that the energy ball had annihilated his Energy Beam made Frieza feel it was slightly familiar.

"This kind of energy... why does it seem a bit like..."

"No, no, no, I should observe a bit more. How could that person's power appear here?"

Thinking of this, the suspicious Frieza revealed his signature evil smile again, but even Frieza himself didn't notice that his stereotypical smile now contained a hint of caution.

"Ho-ho-ho, what a powerful warrior! A powerhouse like you in the universe is already extremely rare."

Accompanied by a laugh, Frieza, piloting his small vehicle, slowly flew to the center. Dodoria crawled to Frieza's back, only then letting out a long sigh of relief.

"So it is Lord Frieza... I originally wanted to come to Gunhuo Star to take a look, I didn't expect to encounter this situation."

Uchiha Feiyu looked at the short figure appearing before him, a trace of eagerness flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

With Uchiha Feiyu's current strength, if he went all out, he could exert a Power Level close to ten million, not inferior to Frieza's third-form strength. A sudden surprise attack might really make Frieza, who was maintaining his first form, suffer a great loss.

It was just that Frieza was willing to maintain such a weak form without fearing any surprise assassination, so he clearly had his own confidence. Uchiha Feiyu didn't think his surprise attack would be enough to finish off Frieza.

And... he didn't seem to have a reason to finish off Frieza. Frieza was certainly a super big bad guy, but was he himself a good person? If Frieza liked to play at genocide, let him play; it hadn't reached him anyway. Why should he be idle and act as a champion of justice? To put it bluntly, if when Frieza arrived at Namek, the Namekians had no sense of justice and directly offered the Seven Dragon Balls to curry favor, then Lord Frieza wouldn't have done anything to the Namekians. At most, after making his wish, he would definitely have destroyed the Dragon Balls just like King Piccolo.

Before the value of Earth was exposed in Dragon Ball, it was just a remote, backwater little planet; it just happened to have fertile soil and a prosperous ecosystem. The value of such a small planet really wasn't worth a second glance from Lord Frieza.

"Oh? Interesting, you know my identity?"

Frieza was slightly stunned. The other party didn't seem like a native who knew nothing about the universe? At this moment, the original doubts in Frieza's heart welled up again, but he didn't say anything more:

"The war between me and Gunhuo Star was advertised on the Cosmic Network a long time ago. Did you not receive the news?"

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Frieza. Was he asking him a question, or explaining it to him? He felt that this Lord Frieza in front of him seemed a bit excessively polite. However, the Frieza in the original work was indeed such a well-mannered person, so Uchiha Feiyu didn't suspect much: "This is my first time coming to the universe; I don't even know what the Cosmic Network is. Even on my planet, I am likely the first Earthling to conduct independent space travel."

"I see."

Frieza nodded slightly, looked at Uchiha Feiyu, and directly extended an olive branch:

"Are you interested in joining my Frieza Force? It is the strongest force in the universe. With your strength, you will surely achieve great things within it. Whether it is treatment or authority, you will be able to enjoy the best."

In Frieza's view, the other party already had a Power Level of 100,000, and the energy within his body was also quite extraordinary. Even if he had no relation to that person, this guy's strength was already a cut above his own Ginyu Force.

If he really was related to that person... then even he himself would have to be respectful to this guy in front of him.

Uchiha Feiyu's mouth twitched. He had indeed imagined what to do if he encountered Frieza when his strength wasn't high enough, and joining the Frieza Force was a good choice. Anyway, with his strength, even in the Frieza Force, he would definitely be one person above ten thousand.

However, Frieza was excessively enthusiastic, making Uchiha Feiyu feel something was wrong. He tentatively said: "Don't you need me to demonstrate my strength? The force should value power, right?"

Frieza only then realized he had been a bit overly enthusiastic, and he nodded calmly: "That is true. Although I can detect through my scouter that your energy is as high as 100,000 Power Level, many races possess their own special powers. Since you wish to demonstrate, then I shall be your opponent!"

Watching the short Frieza fly out from his personal hover pod, Uchiha Feiyu curled his lip slightly:

"Um, King Frieza, you had better transform directly into your Final Form! Otherwise, I am afraid you will not be my opponent."

Frieza's pupils constricted slightly; there were not many people who knew he possessed multiple transformation forms. Aside from his own kin, only a few trusted subordinates and certain deities had any understanding of this.

His own kin were incomparably rare, and his trusted subordinates would not go around talking to others, as that would ruin Frieza's mood. Then... could this guy really be related to a God of Destruction?

After a moment of silence, just when Uchiha Feiyu thought Frieza had not taken his words to heart, he saw this Universal Emperor smile wickedly: "That is also true. Simply put, using this state to deal with you is truly a bit impolite. Then let me see where your confidence actually comes from!"

As soon as the words fell, Frieza's energy nearly boiled over in an instant. In just a short moment, his energy intensity had risen to an unimaginable level. At the same time, his entire body transformed into a ball of light under the boiling energy. A moment later, the ball of light dispersed, revealing a Frieza who was rounded all over and looked petite and exquisite.

Although Frieza appeared to have no aggression in this state, Uchiha Feiyu could feel that the Qi within the opponent was worlds apart from his initial state.

Tsk, he really did directly activate the final stage... This guy is too easy to persuade!
