Chapter 46: Cooler's Fear

Kairos, standing amidst the shattered landscape of Planet Yardrat, took a deep breath and let his full base power flood his veins. His aura expanded violently, crackling with raw, untamed energy as the ground beneath his feet fractured. The smoldering remains of Yardratian cities quaked under the weight of his power. Cooler, who had once appeared as an unstoppable force, now felt the suffocating pressure of Kairos' full might.

Kairos knew he wasn't like Vegeta—he didn't savor the pain of a prolonged battle, nor did he have the same masochistic pride. What he had was control, precision, and the Kaio-Ken. As his aura shimmered, Kairos let out a controlled exhale and muttered quietly to himself, "Kaio-Ken… times six."

In an instant, his body ignited with a red, fiery energy, intertwining with his base power like molten metal fused with pure gold. The surge of strength multiplied exponentially, his combat power soaring to 480 million—just beyond Cooler's level. His muscles tensed under the strain, but his mind was clear. He was pushing his limits, but he wasn't reckless. Every ounce of power he needed was now in play, and he could feel Cooler's fear growing.

Cooler, floating above him, narrowed his crimson eyes. His once smug grin had vanished, replaced by an expression of growing concern. He felt the overwhelming weight of Kairos' power now, nearly equal to his own. It was an uncomfortable realization. **How had this insect become so powerful?** The longer the fight dragged on, the more Cooler's confidence wavered, and as the truth settled in, his chest tightened with dread.

Kairos was playing with him.

Cooler's mind raced, piecing together the puzzle. This Saiyan—this seemingly insignificant warrior—had been holding back all along. The battles, the taunts, the suppressed power—it was all part of a calculated game, a game Cooler was now losing.

Fear crept into Cooler's heart, something foreign to a tyrant who had ruled galaxies unchallenged for so long. **This Human could be stronger than me**, he realized. The notion was as unbearable as it was undeniable. His pride wanted to fight, to destroy, but survival instincts—sharpened by centuries of dominance—began to take over.

Cooler's eyes flicked toward the horizon, scanning the ruined battlefield. His mind quickly formulated an escape route. **I need to leave. I must regroup and return when the odds are in my favor.**

But Kairos, sensing the shift in Cooler's energy, smirked. He could read Cooler's thoughts as clearly as if they were written in the air. "Running away, Cooler? I expected more from the self-proclaimed emperor of the universe." His voice was sharp, cutting through the crackling energy like a blade.

Cooler's aura flared briefly, but it was a weak attempt to mask his fear. In the next instant, Cooler turned to flee, his body darting upward toward the safety of his looming ship. But before he could gain any distance, Kairos vanished, his speed amplified by the Kaio-Ken, reappearing directly in front of Cooler's path.

Kairos' eyes gleamed with determination. "You're not going anywhere."

Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power, fists colliding with Cooler's body like a relentless storm. Cooler, despite his own formidable strength, was utterly overwhelmed. Each blow reverberated through his metallic frame, shattering his defenses. His once-sleek form buckled under the pressure, cracks forming in his bio-armor as Kairos' attacks tore through him. The once-mighty tyrant was now on the defensive, barely holding on.

In one final move, Kairos created distance between them, his body glowing brighter than ever before. The energy around him crackled dangerously as he cupped his hands together, drawing the surrounding air into a vortex of raw power. His voice, steady and resolute, called out the legendary words that had echoed through battlefields across the universe.

"Kamehameha!!!"

A brilliant beam of energy erupted from his palms, surging toward Cooler with unstoppable force. Cooler's eyes widened in horror, his mind racing with panic. He tried to block it, his hands raised in a desperate attempt to shield himself, but it was futile. The beam struck him with the full, devastating force of Kairos' power, consuming his form entirely.

The explosion lit up the sky, a brilliant flash of blue and white that seemed to freeze the world in place. The ground below shattered further, fissures splitting across the battlefield as the energy wave roared into the atmosphere. Cooler's screams were drowned out by the sheer magnitude of the blast.

When the light finally faded, the sky above was calm once again. Kairos lowered his hands, breathing heavily, but standing tall. There was no sign of Cooler, no trace of the once-feared tyrant who had terrorized galaxies. The battlefield was silent, save for the distant crackling of fires and the soft wind that blew across the desolate land.

Kairos sighed, the weight of the battle leaving his shoulders as he let his aura settle. "So much for the emperor," he muttered to himself, a mixture of exhaustion and satisfaction in his voice. The Kaio-Ken had pushed him to his limits, but in the end, he had won—he had stopped Cooler's reign of terror.

As the dust settled, Kairos looked to the ruined planet around him, knowing that while he had saved it from Cooler's grasp, the scars of battle would remain for some time. But for now, peace had returned to Planet Yardrat, and Cooler was no more.

And then Kairos teleport back to earth and decides to search for Dragonball to wish to make Planet Yadrat recover back .

But he didn't know that just like the orginal story , Cooler some body part survived the explosion .
