Chapter 265: Kale's Hidden Power!
"A bunch of trash!"
Frieza sneered disdainfully as he flung Caulifla and Kale away.
The two quickly stabilized themselves mid-air.
Caulifla looked at Kale and scolded, "Why did you get involved?"
"S-Sorry!" Kale stammered apologetically.
Meanwhile, Cabba shook off a few attacks and regrouped with Caulifla and Kale.
Cooler and his group awkwardly approached Frieza. Despite their initial advantage of three against two, one of the Saiyans had suddenly vanished, even disrupting Frieza's movements. They couldn't explain this at all.
Frieza, however, didn't bother to dwell on it.
A Saiyan was a Saiyan—whether it was one or two, they were all going to be beaten.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
Frieza walked slowly toward the gathered Saiyans from Universe 6, tilting his head as he addressed Caulifla, "To be honest, compared to you, her attacks were far more effective."
"In other words…"
"This Saiyan here is probably stronger than you!"
Frieza's words instantly shocked everyone.
Kale is stronger?
Why hadn't they noticed this before? How could they have spent so much time together without realizing that Kale had been hiding such immense power?
Caulifla and Cabba stared at her in astonishment.
Kale, flustered, quickly waved her hands, "N-No, that's impossible! I don't have such power. Earlier… it was just a fluke!"
Frieza didn't care about Kale's denial. To him, all Saiyans were just punching bags for venting his frustration.
"It doesn't matter. Strong or weak, none of you can compare to me!"
"So, which one of you is going to fight me? Or will all of you come at me together?"
Frieza smirked maliciously, his overwhelming presence suffocating the Saiyans.
As for Cooler's group, they remained silent, not daring to say a word. Having already botched things earlier, they wouldn't risk angering Frieza by meddling again.
Though injured, Caulifla's fighting spirit burned brightly. She refused to back down.
"Don't underestimate me! I'll fight you one-on-one!"
With that, she charged toward Frieza.
The two clashed once more.
Though the battle seemed intense, it was clear that Frieza had the upper hand.
From the sidelines, Cabba and Kale, as spectators, could see everything clearly.
"This is bad! Caulifla's losing ground!"
"What should we do? If we step in, she'll definitely be furious!"
The two hesitated, their eyes darting between the ongoing fight and their surroundings. After all, the entire arena was in chaos, with combat breaking out everywhere. A one-on-one battle was a rarity in this situation, but there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't suddenly interfere.
Caulifla, on the defensive, struggled to approach Frieza. She was relentlessly pursued by his red energy blasts, unable to escape, let alone close the distance.
Watching Caulifla's perilous state, Kale clenched her fists, her face filled with worry.
Cabba glanced at Caulifla, then at Kale.
"Kale, are you hiding your power?"
Hearing Cabba's question, Kale hesitated before responding softly, "I… I follow my sister with unwavering loyalty. Her position must remain unshaken, so…"
Kale slowly revealed the reason for suppressing her strength. But now that Cabba understood she truly had been holding back, his frustration boiled over.
"Kale! This isn't the time for that!"
"This is a life-and-death battle!"
"If we don't give it everything we've got, none of us will have a future!"
Cabba transformed into a Super Saiyan and charged at Frieza, knowing full well he was no match. But he couldn't stand by and watch Caulifla be toyed with.
They couldn't afford to lose.
Having witnessed the fate of their eliminated comrades, they understood that if they all fell, their universe would be erased.
However…
Cooler intercepted Cabba before he could reach Frieza.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Don't even think about interrupting their fight!"
The two clashed, but this time Cooler was done holding back. With Frieza in his golden form, there was no reason for him to continue hiding his strength.
As their battle raged, Cooler's power began to rise. His silver form gradually transitioned to a mix of silver and gold. Though he couldn't fully achieve Frieza's golden transformation, his hybrid form was still exceptionally powerful.
Cooler quickly gained the upper hand, forcing Cabba into a defensive position.
Elsewhere, Frieza mercilessly overwhelmed Caulifla. The disparity in their strength was too vast.
Seeing their dire situations, Kale struggled internally.
"My sister… she'll never lose to anyone…"
"If anyone dares threaten her…"
"I'll destroy them myself!!"
Kale's final words erupted into a roar. Veins bulged on her face, and a terrifying aura exploded from her body.
Her hair began to change.
In that moment, she transformed into a Super Saiyan.
However, Kale's transformation was unlike any other. Surrounded by a green aura, her hair didn't turn golden but instead became emerald green.
The terrifying energy she unleashed shocked everyone.
Fighters across the arena stopped mid-battle, turning to stare at Kale in disbelief.
"Is this… Kale's hidden power?" Cabba muttered, awestruck by the immense strength he could now sense.
"Kale…" Caulifla, momentarily distracted, was similarly stunned.
Frieza, recovering from his surprise, scoffed dismissively.
"Hmph! I've already said, I won't be intimidated by a Super Saiyan!"
But before he could finish, a figure moved at lightning speed and grabbed his head.
Before Frieza could react, he was slammed into the ground with tremendous force.
