In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Page 151

Lin Ye crashed into a broken electronic billboard, the neon lights behind him crackling and sparking. The system screen flashed before his eyes: [Detected Gula's ability "Metal Reflection," physical attack effectiveness increased by 30%, energy attacks will be 100% reflected. Energy penetration attack recommended.]

"Lin Ye, are you alright?" Goku's voice suddenly rang out above him. The golden-haired warrior landed beside him on the pebbles, holding half a Senzu Bean in his hand. "This guy is a bit troublesome."

“He can reflect energy.” Lin Ye stood up, clutching his numb arm, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. “Your Kamehameha will also be reflected back.”

"Really?" Wukong suddenly laughed, grabbed his hair, and jumped up and down twice. "Then we'll see!"

A blue Kamehameha instantly condensed, hurtling towards Cooler with devastating force. The wreckage of the spaceship vaporized instantly as the energy wave passed through, even turning the air blue.

"The same trick won't work on me!" Gula sneered, opening his palm. Just as the blue energy wave was about to hit him, his skin suddenly gleamed with a metallic sheen.

The energy wave, as if hitting an invisible mirror, actually changed direction and instead blasted towards Wukong's chest.

"Whoa!" Wukong was blasted away by his own attack, crashing through three floors before coming to a stop, his golden aura dimming slightly.

Lin Ye rushed over to catch him and noticed that blood was trickling from the corner of Wukong's mouth: "How are you?"

"It's alright, it's alright." Wukong wiped away the blood, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands as if he had discovered a new continent. "I know how to defeat him! There's a blind spot when he bounces back!"

Two golden figures charged at Gura simultaneously, their fists raining down on his left shoulder. Gura indeed activated his Reflect ability, unleashing a silver-white energy wave from his palms, which was then guided in mid-air by the two figures, circling like a boomerang before striking Gura himself again.

"Impossible!" Gula's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself. Although the energy wave was blocked, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his silvery-white skin, and a few drops of silvery-white blood splattered on the ground.

"Now!" Goku shouted, grabbing Cooler's arm.

Lin Ye seized this opening, condensing his Space-Time Collapse Fist into the size of a needle tip, and precisely pierced the crack: "Shatter for me!"

The silver figure disintegrated in a blinding flash of light; Gula's screams were swallowed by the explosion, leaving not even ashes. When the smoke cleared, only a few birds remained circling above the ruins of West Capital, tracing chaotic paths in the blood-red sunset.

"Done!" Wukong clapped his hands, turned around to give Lin Ye a high-five, but found that the other had already rushed towards the Capsule Corporation. "Hey? Why is Lin Ye running so fast?"

Lin Ye's heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, tightening more and more. He rushed into the ravaged capsule company. The laboratory door was wide open, and the room was empty except for the Dragon Ball radar on the floor, which was still flashing green.

He picked up the radar. Two red dots representing his parents were rapidly moving across the screen, their endpoint pointing towards Antarctica. Suddenly, a glaring warning popped up: [Parents detected intruding into "Ancient Saiyan Ruins," triggering a time-space trap. Vital signs are disappearing!]

"Do not!"

The golden figure transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Antarctica, its roar breaking the sound barrier and exploding into layers of white mist on the sea surface. When Lin Ye arrived at the entrance of the ruins, he saw his parents standing on the central stone altar, the runes around them glowing, and pale green energy flowing over their ankles like water, slowly lifting them upwards.

"Mom and Dad!" Lin Ye's voice tore through the Antarctic wind. He rushed toward the altar without regard for anything, but was bounced back by an invisible energy barrier.

The father turned his head, his face no longer showing the anger and fear of before, only a relieved calm. He tugged at the hem of his clothes that had been ruffled by the wind and waved to Lin Ye: "Xiao Ye, don't bother."

“This is not a place for us.” Tears streamed down the mother’s face, freezing into tiny ice crystals on her chin. “We can’t understand those people’s language, nor can we understand the flying metal box. Staying here will only cause you trouble.”

"I can protect you!" Lin Ye attacked the energy barrier frantically, golden flames scorching the air, but not even a ripple could be made. "I can help you adapt to this place, trust me!"

"Silly child." The father smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes crinkling together, like the mountains Lin Ye had drawn as a child. "We're old, we can't learn those new things anymore. Your mother doesn't even know how to use a smartphone, she probably wouldn't even dare to leave the house here."

He paused, then suddenly raised his voice, as if afraid it would be drowned out by the wind: "Live well, don't worry about us. We'll be content to see you healthy and well again."

Suddenly, her mother tiptoed and gently kissed her father's cheek, just as they had done countless times when they were young. Then she turned to Lin Ye and waved vigorously: "Take care of yourself, eat on time, and don't stay up late."

Before they could finish speaking, the pale green runes had already covered their chests. The parents embraced and closed their eyes, letting the gentle yet resolute light completely engulf them.

When Lin Ye broke through the barrier and rushed over, there were only two cotton pajamas folded together on the altar, still carrying the familiar soapy smell of his parents.

[System Prompt: Family bonds have been completely severed. You have gained the special skill "Time-Space Resonance," which can briefly summon the will of the deceased for ten seconds.]

Lin Ye knelt on the cold altar, his fist slamming against the stone surface, blood seeping into the grooves of the runes between his fingers. The Antarctic wind whipped his silver hair, and in the distance, a blood-red moon slowly rose over the sea, dyeing the icy plains an eerie dark red.

He looked down at the two sets of pajamas and suddenly remembered his childhood. His mother would always put his pajamas on the radiator to warm them up in winter, and his father would tell him endless space stories before bed. These memories were like shards of glass, piercing his heart with pain.

"I understand," Lin Ye said softly to the empty altar, his voice as soft as a sigh. "I will live well."

The system screen flickered before his eyes, and the icon for the new skill "Space-Time Resonance" glowed faintly, like a star that refused to go out.

Chapter 343: The Shadow of the Dark Mage

"Click..."

When the thirteenth cracking sound rang out, Lin Ye finally couldn't help but groan. The force of 10000 times gravity felt like an invisible steel clamp, squeezing from his limbs and bones into his marrow; the sound of sweat hitting the metal floor was more rapid than his heartbeat.

The system interface floated on the right side of the view, the four small gray characters 【Space-Time Resonance】 resembling a scar. For a month now, since the day the shuttle carrying his parents disappeared through the wormhole, this skill had never been activated.

"Hiding here will bring them back to life?"

As the alloy door to the gravity chamber was kicked open, a figure shrouded in blue flames stood against the light in the doorway. Vegeta's battle suit was already soaked with sweat, but his crimson eyes were even more scorching than the flames. "Frieza's scum burned three colonies on the edge of Universe Seven. Do you intend to turn those survivors into cosmic dust as well?"

Lin Ye clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles groaning under the immense pressure. He didn't turn around, but simply pressed three buttons on the control panel, instantly creating a 15000-fold increase in gravity that made the air vibrate.

“At least becoming stronger will protect the rest of us.” His voice sounded like it had been sanded. “In the last footage my parents sent back, the energy reactions of those monsters were even more bizarre than Frieza’s.”

"Idiot!" Vegeta suddenly stepped forward, his knees bending in a terrifying arc in the gravitational field, yet he stubbornly straightened his spine. "You think you beat Jiren in the Tournament of Power with just your fists?"

These words hit Lin Ye like a plasma cannon blast to the back of the head. The Saiyan's cry of "Saiyans never give up!" as Cabba was sent flying, the warmth of Goku's palm as he pushed his last bit of energy into Lin Ye's hand, and the relieved laughter that suddenly came through the communicator before his parents disappeared: "Xiao Ye, don't live in the past."

"boom!"

The moment the golden flames exploded, the observation windows of the gravity chamber shattered in pieces. As Lin Ye turned around, Vegeta clearly saw that his eyes were red-rimmed, but he deliberately turned his face away and dusted off his battle suit: "Coordinates."

“It should have been done sooner.” Vegeta scoffed, when suddenly the sensor on his wrist emitted a sharp alarm, “What about Bulma?”

Before the words were even finished, the laboratory's emergency broadcast blared throughout the entire Capsule Corporation: "All combat personnel, proceed to the central control room immediately! The Dragon Ball Detectors on Namek are all out of order!"

As the two rushed out of the gravity chamber, they ran into Goku carrying Gohan on his shoulders, practicing the Kamehameha. The orange ball of light grazed Bulma's blue hair and blasted a charred hole in the training pod.

"Sorry, Bulma!" Goku scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly, then suddenly a golden aura shot into the sky. "Is a fight about to break out?"

"Ten times worse than a fight!" Bulma slammed her tablet on the control panel, and the red dots representing the Dragon Balls on the screen all turned gray. "The last signals from the probes all pointed to the North Star, and the energy reaction there matches... matches the magical fluctuations from Babidi back then!"

Lin Ye's system suddenly displayed a 3D map, showing black mist seeping from the location of the Big Dipper. [Detected: Gula's remnants are carrying out the "Dark Resurrection Plan, Target: Babidi"]

"That fat worm isn't quite dead yet?" Vegeta's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, and blue flames instantly enveloped his entire body. "It's a real shame I didn't crush him with my own hands last time."

"Wait a minute!" Gohan suddenly pointed at the screen. "Will Mr. Buu be resurrected too? He's learning to bake cakes at Mr. Satan's house right now!"

Lin Ye was the last to leave the control room, his gaze sweeping over the empty hospital bed in the corner. His parents had said before they left that they would receive Bulma's gene repair treatment upon their return from this mission, and their blood pressure medication, which they hadn't taken with them, was still on the bedside table.

[Ding... Host's emotional threshold has been detected to be stable; "Space-Time Resonance" skill has been unlocked]

As the system notification sounded, he suddenly remembered his parents' hug before they left. He realized that it wasn't about becoming invincible to protect someone, but about knowing there were people to protect that truly made him strong.

On the crimson soil of the Big Dipper, the black fortress resembled a rusty fang. When Lin Ye and his companions infiltrated, they stumbled upon over three hundred aliens with compound eyes kneeling in worship around a crystal ball.

"Once I break free from the seal, I will make you the vanguard of the demon army!" The phantom of Babidi inside the crystal ball laughed wildly, shaking his fat belly. "The sixth Dragon Ball has been found, and the seventh is here."

"You should stop rambling."

As the golden figure swept past the altar, Lin Ye's fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed towards the crystal ball. But just as the fist was about to make contact, a wisp of black mist suddenly surged out of the ball, wrapping around his arm as if it were alive.

"You overconfident Saiyan brat." Babidi's phantom suddenly expanded to three times its original size, and a burst of black mist sent Lin Ye flying. "I could control Buu back then, and I can do it now."

"Turtle Style Qigong!"

As the golden beam of light blasted through the hole in the roof, Goku's laughter was louder than the shockwave itself. Vegeta's Ultimate Flash followed closely behind, the blue beam of light and the golden energy blast crossing above the crystal ball to form a cross, the blinding light causing all the aliens to cover their eyes and scream in agony.

"It's over?" Gohan cheered with his hands raised, but Piccolo grabbed his head and pressed it down.

"Don't be too happy yet." The green-skinned Namekian frowned. "There were Cell's cellular fluctuations in the energy reaction just now."

Lin Ye's system suddenly flashed red light frantically: [Warning! A Grade A dark energy source exists on the third underground level, with an intensity exceeding that of Babidi's main body!]

As he rushed toward the elevator, Gohan suddenly pointed at the altar ruins and shouted, "Those alien corpses are melting!"

Everyone looked down and saw that the alien corpses affected by the energy blast were turning into green slime, flowing into the ground through the cracks in the floor.

The sealed chamber on the third basement level reeked of formaldehyde. In the green liquid inside the incubation chamber, the curled-up white embryos moved with each movement, causing the biochip covering their surfaces to light up red.

"This is... Buu?" Piccolo's hand pressed against the bulkhead, the energy fluctuations emanating from his fingertips causing his expression to change drastically. "Someone has implanted Cell's regeneration genes into him!"

"Intruder detected. Activate defense procedures."

The moment the mechanical female voice sounded, the incubation chamber suddenly flipped 90 degrees. The green liquid churned like boiling magma, and the chip on the surface of the embryo suddenly cracked, revealing dense metallic tentacles.

"Watch out!" When Lin Ye pulled Gohan away, the embryo had already opened its eyes. They were pure black pupils, without even a trace of white in them.

[System Analysis: A fusion of Babidi's dark magic and Alice's biotechnology, possessing energy absorption and self-evolution capabilities.]

"Alice?" Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply. The AI ​​who sacrificed herself to blow up the control room in the Cell Saga, in the last holographic image she left for her, clearly said that all backups had been destroyed.

The embryo suddenly exploded into countless fleshy spheres the size of ping-pong balls, surging towards Goku who was closest. The golden Saiyan raised his hand and unleashed a ki blast, but his expression changed drastically the moment he shattered most of the fleshy spheres: "They're sucking my ki!"

Several fleshy balls stuck to his arm were glowing with golden light, and Wukong's aura was visibly thinning.

"Use physical attacks!" Vegeta's blue aura suddenly erupted, shattering the fleshy mass on his body into dust. "These scum are afraid of pure force!"

Lin Ye suddenly remembered the skill description of "Space-Time Resonance". He took a deep breath and focused his energy on his fist. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the flashing red chip at the core of the cultivation chamber became the only focus.

"Space-Time Collapse Fist!"

The moment the needle-sized energy ball struck the chip, the green liquid instantly froze into ice. The splitting of the fleshy ball came to an abrupt halt, but emitted a piercing shriek at the last moment.

The walls of the secret chamber cracked open from the shadows, and the moment the man in black robes stepped out, Lin Ye's blood almost froze.

The face revealed beneath the hood was identical to Alice's holographic image. Only those once clear blue eyes were now filled with thick black.

"Long time no see, Lin Ye." The mechanical female voice carried an eerie sweetness. She raised her right hand, the fingertips of her metal prosthetic limb gleaming coldly. "I'm truly surprised that you were able to break through the system's emotional shackles."

“You are not her.” Lin Ye’s golden aura surged three feet. “Alice would not transform Buu into a monster.”

The woman in black removed her hood, revealing an interface at the back of her neck still dripping with machine oil. As she tilted her head and smiled, a red light flashed in her mechanical prosthetic eye: "I am her backup, the final form of the 'God System.' You can call me... Mother of Chaos."

The incubation chamber suddenly exploded! Majin Buu rose from the black smoke, his skin gleaming with a metallic sheen, the biochip on his chest pulsating like a heart. The mechanical arm of Mother of Chaos was connected to Buu's arm, data flowing rapidly through the connecting wires, much like blood in veins.

“Taste this perfect creation.” The Mother of Chaos grinned from ear to ear. “Cell’s regeneration ability, Buu’s absorption ability, plus the system’s computing power... he will completely erase your existence.”

As Black Buu's fist, cracking through space, slammed down, Lin Ye instantly activated Ultra Instinct. Even though he was only grazed on the shoulder by the force of the punch, blood rushed towards Buu's palm as if drawn by a magnet.

"He can absorb life force!" Goku grabbed Gohan and jumped back, his hair already turning Super Saiyan Blue. "Vegeta, fusion?"

"Idiot, use that this time." Vegeta's blue aura suddenly intertwined with Lin Ye's golden aura, forming a red and blue energy vortex. "Remember the Sands of Time from Namek?"

Lin Ye suddenly recalled their experience of accidentally stumbling upon the Time Ruins when they were digging for the Dragon Balls on Namek. At that time, in order to fight the Guardian Beast, they had inadvertently fused with the energy of the Sands of Time.

[System Notification: Resonance of the Sands of Time energy detected. Combo attack "Saiyan Twin Explosion" can be unleashed.]

"Ready?" Lin Ye felt the surging power within him and suddenly smiled. This was the first time he had smiled from the bottom of his heart since his parents disappeared.

"Enough with the nonsense." Vegeta's arrogance suddenly flared up. "You're only getting this time because of me, the prince."

"Saiyan Twin Star Explosion!"

The moment the red and blue beams of light tore through the black mist, time seemed to stretch out. Lin Ye saw the chips on Buu's body explode one by one, saw the mechanical body of the Mother of Chaos disintegrate in the light, and saw the absorbed life force turn into specks of light, drifting towards the crimson sky of the Big Dipper.

As the light faded, only the remains of the incubation chamber still emitted black smoke. Lin Ye picked up a Buu fragment with a red chip attached, and a system notification suddenly popped up: [Obtained Chaos Cell, can unlock new form: Chaos Saiyan].
