Dragon Ball: Collaborating with Frieza to Destroy Planet Vegeta

Chapter 231: An Unprecedented Spectacle, Gathering of the Strong!

"The Universal Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Is this real or fake?"

"There's an announcement from the Kai? Then it's definitely true."

"Then we need to hurry! If we don't make it before it starts, we won't have a chance to participate in this grand event. Whether we can stand out or not is one thing, but just being part of it is already incredible!"

"Absolutely!!"

At almost the same time, news of the Universal Martial Arts Tournament spread across every corner of Universe 7.

Whis's method was simple: notify the Supreme Kais, who then informed the gods of each galaxy. The gods passed the news down through their messengers, who finally delivered it to all living beings.

Layer by layer, the notification process moved swiftly. In just a short time, the entire Universe 7 became aware of the event.

As a result, countless beings used all their strength to rush toward the designated central location in the universe.

Even those not planning to participate simply wanted to witness the Universal Martial Arts Tournament and see the true powerhouses for themselves.

While the Saiyans and Earth's warriors trained like mad, strong individuals from all corners of the universe began converging on the central arena.

Among them, even Frieza received the notification.

"Oh ho ho ho…"

"How interesting, a Universal Martial Arts Tournament? Won't this attract all the strongest beings in the universe?"

"This is a rare event indeed. If I, the great King Frieza, claim the championship, then extend invitations afterward, wouldn't I command the kneeling admiration of the galaxy's strongest?"

"I've decided—I'll participate and see for myself! Let's just hope it doesn't disappoint me!"

Frieza, intrigued, immediately prepared to join. Moreover, he saw it as an opportunity to expand his army—after all, the more talented individuals, the better.

Despite his years of plundering, Frieza had struggled to recruit many outstanding talents. Now, however, the Universal Martial Arts Tournament promised an unprecedented gathering of elite warriors—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"But… Lord Frieza," Bojack interjected cautiously, "while this tournament is grand, there's a chance you might run into Saiyans!"

Bojack still feared Saiyans, whose combat strength was terrifyingly overwhelming. Especially Mu Chuan's invincible display—it lingered vividly in his mind.

Though Frieza was powerful, even he couldn't single-handedly defeat everyone.

Frieza was silent for a moment before replying, "It doesn't matter. This is a good chance to see how much those monkeys have improved."

"Lately, I've been training diligently—no one is more hardworking than me. When I, King Frieza, am determined, who could possibly stand against me?"

Frieza exuded confidence, though his words left those present in uneasy silence.

Frieza had been similarly confident before, only to be defeated.

Even as Golden Frieza, he was crushed. Had his opponents intended to kill him, he wouldn't even be alive to boast now.

The group's silence caused a flicker of killing intent to flash in Frieza's eyes.

"What is this attitude?"

"Fine! For the upcoming Universal Martial Arts Tournament, all of you will participate! Make the entire universe tremble!"

"Everyone must kneel at my feet—no exceptions!!"

After issuing his command, Frieza ordered his entire army to head toward the tournament's central location. He himself strolled into the depths of his spaceship.

Though he had spoken confidently, Frieza knew deep down that with his current strength, he still couldn't match that monkey.

He had to work harder!

"If Golden Frieza isn't enough, then I'll push myself even further!"

"A mere Saiyan—how could they ever compare to the great King Frieza?"

No one knew the depths of Frieza's determination.

But with his orders, the entire Frieza Force began moving. Facing the strongest beings across the universe, even they felt the pressure and began making preparations.

Meanwhile, powerful warriors began gathering at the central arena.

The massive stage was shielded by an enormous energy barrier, resembling a protective dome. No one could enter easily.

However, there were many surrounding stands, and the crowd quickly swelled with spectators.

Most were from technologically advanced civilizations, and their strength varied greatly.

"That's the Maya Tribe—their strongest warrior has a battle power of 18,000!"

"And those are the Antmen. Their maximum battle power is only 4,000, but they have numbers on their side. If they execute combination techniques, their strength grows exponentially."

One bizarre race after another appeared.

The Universal Martial Arts Tournament brought all the strong races together. In the earlier days of Dragon Ball, these races might have been considered formidable in their own right.

But in the context of this universal event, their strength was only mediocre—decent but not remarkable.

Furthermore, technologically advanced civilizations couldn't rely on their usual tactics. The tournament rules prohibited weapons, nullifying their technological advantage.

Most of them came simply to witness the grand event and broadcast it back to their homeworlds.

As the broadcasts spread, excitement soared in various territories.

This was a truly rare spectacle.

While some races relied on groups, many individual powerhouses also arrived.

The strongest being present thus far was a crystalline lifeform with a battle power of 2 million—a terrifyingly high figure!

Its body was composed entirely of crystal and could take any form it desired.

Moreover, its resilience was extraordinary; unless its body was completely shattered, it could regenerate indefinitely.

This information spread quickly among the audience, adding to the awe surrounding the crystalline warrior, who now occupied an entire stage by itself.

No one dared disturb it. For most races, it was an insurmountable barrier—a being with 2 million battle power was beyond comprehension.

However, this didn't necessarily mean it was the strongest competitor.

As time passed, one month went by in a flash.

By now, countless powerful beings had gathered near the arena. The crystalline warrior was no longer considered the strongest among them.

Still, battle power alone was just a number. Strength in combat depended on many factors.

As the Universal Martial Arts Tournament approached its opening…

A group of figures slowly emerged!
