Chapter 175: Yuujin’s Decision
"What... what is that thing?!"
Even Frieza, who was fiercely battling Goku and Yin Yuujin, noticed the [Spirit Bomb] forming in the sky. His eye twitched violently at the sight.
That wasn't some ordinary energy ball or Ki blast—his instincts screamed danger! Extreme danger!
He absolutely couldn't let that thing be completed!
"Get out of my way!"
Unleashing his energy recklessly, Frieza broke free from Goku and Yin Yuujin, attempting to destroy the unfinished [Spirit Bomb]. But before he could get far, Yin Yuujin intercepted, locking him down once again.
"Damn it! Let go of me! Let go!"
Frieza struggled violently, even ramming his head against Yuujin, but the latter refused to loosen his grip, firmly restraining Frieza's arms and legs.
"Hehehe…"
"Frieza, just stay put and watch. Once my [Spirit Bomb] is complete, this battle will end. I won't let you disrupt it."
Though his head was bloodied from the blows, Yin Yuujin sneered menacingly.
"Don't think this can hold me! Get off me!!!"
Frieza's muscles swelled, his strength multiplying several times over. Yuujin's body emitted cracking sounds as his bones shifted, barely able to hold on.
"Yuujin, I'll help you!"
"Don't come over!"
Goku, wreathed in energy, sped toward them, but Yin Yuujin shouted to stop her.
Frieza was fighting desperately. He couldn't restrain him anymore!
If that's the case—
"Frieza, let's blow up together!"
"What?!"
With a hint of madness, Yin Yuujin's icy voice echoed in Frieza's ears, and a look of terror crossed Frieza's face.
Without hesitation, Yin Yuujin's body rapidly swelled before exploding violently!
"Ahhhh!!!"
A massive fireball erupted in the sky, and Frieza, caught at the center, let out a bloodcurdling scream. The resulting energy shockwaves surged in all directions, sending Goku tumbling through the air.
"Yuujin…"
On the ground, Chi-Chi clenched her fists tightly, worry etched across her face. Beside her, Vegeta couldn't help but feel a pang of unease.
"What a ruthless Saiyan!" Vegeta muttered.
Vomiting blood, Yuujin, who was channeling the [Spirit Bomb], turned pale. The "Yang" character on his forehead gradually disappeared as he reverted to his original form, just like Goku.
Although Yin Yuujin's self-destruction temporarily halted Frieza, it hadn't killed him.
Frieza, drenched in blood, burst out of the fireball, looking utterly disheveled. His eyes burned with rage, and his expression twisted in fury.
"Damn Saiyan! Damn Saiyan!!!"
"I'll never forgive you! Die, die, DIE!!!"
Overcome with fury, Frieza thrust his palm forward, launching tens of thousands of energy blasts toward Yuujin.
He would annihilate him, not leaving a single cell behind!
"Yuujin!"
Goku appeared before Yuujin, ready to shield him from the attack. However, the incoming energy blasts veered midair, curving into the [Spirit Bomb], which absorbed them all.
"Frieza, thank you! My [Spirit Bomb] is finally complete!"
"Hahahahaha!!!!"
Standing beneath the completed [Spirit Bomb], Yuujin laughed uproariously while Frieza's face turned pale with shock.
"How is this possible?!"
"Goku, step aside."
"Okay!"
Goku moved away as Yuujin's expression turned cold.
The [Spirit Bomb] was complete, and this battle was about to end!
"Frieza, this is a [Spirit Bomb] containing one-tenth of Earth's energy."
"Take it—and perish!"
Locking onto Frieza's aura, Yuujin unleashed the [Spirit Bomb] without hesitation.
The massive [Spirit Bomb] moved slowly but carried an overwhelming, earth-shattering pressure. Frieza, horrified, realized he couldn't evade it. He had to face it head-on!
Frieza felt a chill down his spine but roared defiantly, pushing against the [Spirit Bomb] with his hands.
It was unbelievably heavy, forcing Frieza downward bit by bit.
Although the [Spirit Bomb] contained only one-tenth of Earth's energy, this Earth was far stronger than the one in the original Dragon Ball. Thanks to Yuujin's influence, this Earth's vitality was several times—or even dozens of times—greater. Even one-tenth of its energy was enough to overwhelm Frieza in his current state!
"I'm the strongest in the universe! I can't die here!"
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
Teeth gritted and face contorted, Frieza struggled desperately against the [Spirit Bomb].
But it was futile. Under the crushing weight of the [Spirit Bomb], he was pushed down relentlessly, ultimately buried deep into the ground.
This battle was over. Not even Frieza could recover now. He would perish along with this planet.
Yet—
Hovering in the sky, Yuujin's face was Shadowed with doubt.
Yuujin hesitated, torn in his heart.
Was this really the right way to kill Frieza? Was this how he wanted this battle to end?
No. From the start, his goal wasn't merely to defeat Frieza. He wanted this fight to be a catalyst—for both himself and Goku to break through and transform into the legendary Super Saiyans.
While this battle had been exhilarating, their true purpose remained unfulfilled. Should he really kill Frieza now?
But if he didn't, and neither he nor Goku transformed, they would die. Chi-Chi would die. Vegeta would die. Bulma and everyone else on Earth would perish too!
What a tough decision…
"Goku, do you want to keep fighting?"
"To stake our fates and the fate of Earth."
Turning to Goku, Yuujin asked.
Simple as ever, Goku instantly understood Yuujin's meaning and nodded without hesitation.
"Yes! I want to keep fighting!"
Truly, she was Goku. Even in the face of such a decision, there wasn't a hint of doubt.
Sighing, Yuujin placed a hand on his forehead. His heart was now resolute.
If they couldn't transform into Super Saiyans, if they couldn't gain even greater strength, Earth would still be doomed against future enemies.
In that case, they would stake everything—their lives, everyone's fate, and Earth's destiny—for one final gamble!
Lowering his hand, Yuujin's eyes gleamed with determination.
The [Spirit Bomb] stopped its descent, and a renewed fighting spirit erupted from both Yuujin and Goku.
"Goku, let's bet it all and keep fighting!"
"Yeah!"
