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

Page 96

"Bai! Send me all the details of Lin Ye's last spiritual message regarding the 'fusion container' and 'creation energy'! Now! Immediately!" Bulma wiped away her tears, her eyes becoming incredibly focused and frantic. "It's just making a jar to hold a 'god', right? I'll risk it all!"

She abruptly pulled open a hidden compartment, revealing an energy core that had never been activated before, radiating a ghostly blue light. It was inscribed with the runes of Earth's Dragon God—a precious gift left to Bulma by Namekian Dragon God Dende when he left Earth, containing a trace of the planet's creative power, and her most treasured research material.

"Activate the 'Star Creation Furnace' project! Highest authority! All energy, bring it to me!" Bulma roared at the AI ​​in the lab. "Notify Master Roshi! Notify the Temple! Notify all the warriors we can contact! I need their ki! The strongest ki! To neutralize this damn chaotic agitation and buy me time for the transformation!"

The laboratory lights instantly became blinding, and huge energy conduits connected from all directions to the melted system body. The dark blue creative power and the violent chaotic energy collided violently inside the instrument, emitting terrifying explosions!

Universe, the realm of the destroyers.

Vegeta, arms crossed and face grim, hovered in the air, watching Beerus pace restlessly in the training field below. Whis, unusually, had stopped smiling and was staring with a furrowed brow at the strange, fleeting spatial folds that kept appearing in the sky—signs of the distant universe being merged into chaos.

"Damn it! What the hell is this awful chaotic fluctuation? I can't even sleep peacefully during my afternoon nap!" Beerus swished his tail in frustration.

"Lord Beerus, the situation seems to be more serious than we thought," Whis said gravely.

Just then, the cold, authoritative voice of the Omni-King of Destruction resounded deep within the souls of all beings in the God of Destruction world (Vegeta, Beerus, Whis):

"Gods of Destruction, Angels, and Warriors of Universe Seven! I am the Omni-King of Destruction! The multiverse faces ultimate catastrophe! The Source of Chaos has awakened, resetting everything! I now command you to immediately contribute a portion of the power of the universe's creation origin to help us accomplish our salvation! There must be no mistake!"

Vegeta's pupils contracted. Destroy the Omni-King?! He personally gave the order?

Beerus immediately exploded: "Contribute the source of creation? Are you kidding me! That thing is the root of the universe! If it's shaken, something terrible will happen!"

Weiss, however, seemed thoughtful: "The source of chaos... the origin of creation... fusion? Interesting."

Vegeta suddenly looked at Whis: "What do you know?"

Before Whis could answer, another, more authoritative voice, yet tinged with urgency, rang out (the Omni-King of Order):

"This is the only chance of survival! Decide quickly! The fusion of chaos has reached the third quadrant!"

Immediately afterwards, the calm voice of the Omni-King of Power rang out:

"Time is of the essence! Warriors of Universe 7, the fate of the universe rests on your shoulders!"

The voices of the three Omni-Kings rang out one after another, with the same content but each tone carrying its own characteristics, showing the extreme urgency of the situation!

Vegeta's expression shifted, and he clenched his fists tightly. Though proud, he knew that something that could compel three Omni-Kings to simultaneously descend their wills and so urgently seek his help was no trivial matter! Moreover… that bastard Lin Ye's aura seemed to have completely vanished at the source of that chaotic fluctuation!

"Hey, Beerus!" Vegeta looked at the agitated God of Destruction, his voice low but carrying an undeniable determination, "Stop dawdling! What are we going to do?"

Beerus grinned: "How? How would I know! The origin of creation is with the Supreme Kai! That idiot Shin..."

"Then let's go find the Supreme Kai!" Vegeta interrupted him, a powerful golden aura erupting from his body. "Whis! Lead the way! Now!"

Whis tapped his scepter, and a seven-colored stream of light enveloped Vegeta and Beerus: "It seems something big is about to happen. Let's go."

With a flash of light, the three disappeared from the God of Destruction realm.

At the same time, in different universes.

Son Goku (Universe 6) was sweating profusely in the gravity chamber with Cabba when the command from the Omni-King of Destruction exploded in his mind. He paused for a moment, scratching his head: "Huh? The origin of creation? Sounds amazing... Does the God of Destruction need help? Okay! Cabba, let's go find Lord Champa!"

Frieza (in an unknown, dark corner) sensed the will of the Omni-King of Order, a cold and greedy glint flashing in his golden eyes: "The origin of creation? Heh heh... Interesting power. Perhaps... an opportunity?"

In Universe 10, Supreme Kai Gowasu and Apprentice Supreme Kai Zamasu were experiencing the arrival of the Omni-King's will with astonishment and uncertainty. A complex light flickered in Zamasu's eyes as he muttered to himself, "Humans...can participate in saving the world? How ironic..."

Deep within the temple, the pulse of the Cocoon of Chaos grew stronger and faster. The viscous darkness began to spread outwards from the temple, like ink dripping into clear water, eroding the void of this "Land of Origin." Inside the cocoon, Lin Ye's aura was so faint as to almost disappear, as if he might be completely engulfed by the immense chaotic will at any moment.

In the Earth laboratory, Bulma roared, accompanied by a massive energy boom: "Hold on! Damn system! Hold on! Just a little bit more! StarCraft Reactor, activate!!"

Before her, the system itself, infused with the power of azure creation and countless powerful "qi" converging from all corners of the world (the energy forms of techniques like the Kamehameha and Special Beam Cannon faintly visible), had its molten outer shell forcibly repaired. The raging chaotic data flow within was temporarily confined to a more complex energy framework composed of countless golden runes. A barely formed, extremely unstable "container" was being forcibly born!

Across the universe, Vegeta, Goku, and others, having obtained permission (or forcibly demanded it), are following their respective angels or Supreme Kais towards the core of the universe, preparing to extract the primordial source that sustains the world. Every second counts!

What will happen to the first warrior to reach the core of the universe and confront the ancient will or powerful being guarding its origin? Will they successfully gain assistance? Or... will an unexpected conflict erupt?

Chapter 240: The Dawn of a New Era

Heavy breathing filled the deathly silent starry sky, coalescing into a suffocating wave. Energy storms tore at the veil of space, revealing the distorted, collapsing structure of the multiverse behind it, like a tattered rag crumpled by an invisible giant hand, about to be torn apart. The starlight flickered erratically in the raging energy turbulence, each flash like a painful groan from the universe.

The three Omni-Kings hovered at the heart of the storm. Their childlike bodies now bore unimaginable cosmic authority, yet this authority itself was teetering on the brink of collapse. The Omni-King representing the past had a body outline like a faded ancient mural, slowly peeling away and dissipating; the Omni-King symbolizing the present had pure energy particles constituting his body trembling violently, as if he were about to completely disintegrate at any moment; the Omni-King pointing to the future had a blurred and uncertain face, like a poorly positioned projection, ready to be extinguished at any instant.

The aura of destruction was chilling and penetrating, seeping into every nook and cranny.

"Now!" Lin Ye's roar exploded amidst the raging energy flow, carrying a resolute determination that seemed to tear his vocal cords apart. He stood at the center of the triangle formed by the three Omni-Kings, his body trembling violently. It wasn't fear, but rather the frenzied onslaught of countless, incomparably violent torrents of energy converging from all directions, relentlessly assaulting and tearing at his soul.

"Ugh—!" A suppressed groan escaped from his clenched teeth. Sweat instantly soaked through his combat uniform, then evaporated into white vapor under the surging, high-temperature energy. He felt his consciousness being thrown into the chaotic furnace of the universe's beginning, every inch of his soul being repeatedly forged, torn, and crushed. All that remained in his vision was chaotic energy colors and excruciating, tearing pain.

"Hold on, Lin Ye!" Raymond's roar was hoarse and metallic. This battle-hardened warrior was now in a sorry state, his arms bulging with muscles and veins, desperately trying to hold back a crimson energy beam that was attempting to veer off course. The beam writhed and twisted like a living thing, each impact causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the void beneath Raymond's feet. His armor was torn in several places, revealing charred skin, and blood constantly trickled from the corners of his mouth, only to be instantly evaporated by the energy.

"Guide it! Don't let that thing collide with the Omni-King!" From the other side, Alice's voice was shrill and distorted. She waved her hands, her mental energy condensing into visible silver threads, like the most skillful weaver, desperately trying to repair the spatial structure that was being torn apart by the violent energy. Her face was as pale as paper, and two shocking bloodstains hung from her nose. Each output of her mental energy made her body tremble violently.

Countless warriors, powerful beings from different universes, were like candles in a raging storm. They burned their life energy, roaring, pouring their life's strength without reservation into the vast and fragile fusion ritual field. Beams of energy, like countless struggling, angry dragons, were painstakingly guided by the warriors to converge on the three Omni-Kings. At Lin Ye, the core node, they intertwined and collided, erupting with a flash powerful enough to tear apart galaxies. Each successful guidance was accompanied by a brief but magnificent burst of light as a warrior fell, like a shooting star.

The excruciating pain felt like a million red-hot steel needles repeatedly piercing Lin Ye's nerves. His vision began to darken at the edges, and his consciousness seemed to sink into the icy depths of the sea.

Just as the boundless darkness was about to completely engulf him, countless faces flashed through his chaotic sea of ​​consciousness: Raymond's face contorted with exhaustion, Alice's resolute gaze, and the unwavering determination of countless warriors whose names he couldn't even recall before turning to dust in the energy storm.

"For...all the worlds still struggling!" A cry from the deepest recesses of his soul overwhelmed all pain, erupting within Lin Ye! His nearly dissipated spiritual power suddenly contracted and coalesced! He abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly burning with the starlight of the primordial universe. His body, which had been passively enduring, now became the most precise guiding coordinate, forcibly twisting the raging torrent of conflicting energy within him into a single, powerful torrent of will that pierced through the void, crashing fiercely against the last stubborn barrier of repulsion between the three Omni-Kings!

Click!

A cracking sound, as if the very foundation of the universe had snapped, reverberated throughout all dimensions of existence.

Time, space, and all rules froze in absolute stillness at this moment.

The forms of the three Omni-Kings completely blurred and dissolved, transforming into three pure, indescribable sources of light—in the past, a precipitous pale yellow; now, a blazing platinum; and in the future, a vibrant, deep blue. Under the onslaught of Lin Ye's will, they finally surrendered their last resistance, merging together instantly like drops of water merging into the ocean!

hum-

An indescribable burst of light erupted! It wasn't light in the visual sense, but a declaration of existence itself! A completely new and unimaginable will was born! Wherever the light swept, the raging energy storm subsided instantly, like wrinkles being smoothed out. Shattered spatial barriers healed silently, and distorted dimensions unfolded anew. The multiverse structure, on the verge of collapse, was being gently yet firmly reshaped as if by an invisible giant hand.

At the center of the light, a brand new figure slowly coalesced. Its form was not imposing, yet it seemed to bear the weight of the entire universe. Its lines were simple and perfect, containing the supreme rhythm of laws. Its eyes slowly opened, devoid of emotion, holding only an absolute indifference that surveyed eternity and understood all rules.

He is—the Supreme and All-King!

The laws of the nascent universe, like an invisible spring, silently spread out from Him. Wherever He passed, chaos was replaced by order, and destruction was covered by new life. Stars lit up again, and galaxies resumed their cycles. A new pulse, full of infinite possibilities, began to grow in every corner.

“We…we…we succeeded…” Raymond’s massive body collapsed to his knees in mid-air, his only remaining right arm hanging limply at his sides, leaving only heavy, bellows-like breathing. He didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

Alice's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground. The exhaustion of her mental energy gave her a splitting headache and her vision blurred intermittently, but a faint, exhausted smile of relief appeared on her lips.

The relief of surviving the ordeal washed over the surviving soldiers like a warm tide. The sudden relaxation of their taut nerves brought an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. Many collapsed into a daze, finding even the slightest movement of their eyelids difficult.

However, amidst this newly formed tranquility and exhaustion, an extremely faint yet intensely greedy and malicious energy fluctuation silently slithered by like a venomous snake.

It's Long Aotian!

He was covered in blood, half his body nearly torn apart by the rampaging energy, his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind. But his eyes burned with a resentment and madness hotter than hellfire. Taking advantage of the moment when the Supreme Omni-King was born, the laws of the universe were being reshaped, and everyone's minds were at their most relaxed, he burned all his remaining life essence and the last trace of forbidden power he had plundered from countless worlds. He transformed into a barely perceptible streak of gray light, his target the purest core of new life essence that was reshaping the laws of the universe!

"It's mine! All this power... should be mine!" A twisted thought roared deep within his soul. Like a moth drawn to a candle flame, he rushed towards the pure orb of light that symbolized the beginning of a new era, with a resolute determination to destroy himself!

Just as his cracked, energy-draining hand was about to touch the very essence of the universe—

hum.

A soft sound, as if it were just a gentle rustling of dust being brushed away.

The Supreme King didn't even turn around. He simply and casually raised the hand that symbolized the authority of the universe towards the direction from which Long Aotian was rushing, and pressed it down in mid-air.

Time and space lost their meaning at that moment.

Long Aotian's figure, moving faster than a streak of light, seemed to have crashed into a wall of sighs composed of the entire universe. All his madness, all his power, all the speed gained by burning his life force, instantly vanished under the crushing weight of absolute rules. Frozen, absolutely frozen. He remained in his forward-leaning posture, nailed to the void, even his thoughts frozen, only his eyes, wide open to the limit, retained a deep-seated horror and disbelief. His riddled body, like a piece of porcelain covered in cracks, emitted a faint cracking sound under the overwhelming pressure of absolute power.

For the first time, the Supreme King's gaze, devoid of any emotion, finally truly fell upon Long Aotian. His gaze was as calm as if he were examining a speck of dust that had existed since the dawn of the universe.

"Who gave you the courage?" A cold, indifferent voice, yet seemingly carrying the weight of the entire universe, resounded directly in Long Aotian's frozen thoughts. There was no anger, no mockery, only a pure, utter disregard for insignificance and transgression. This disregard itself was the most complete denial.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand that had been pressing down slightly closed its five fingers.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no torrent of energy release.

Long Aotian's frozen figure, along with the last lingering shock and resentment in his eyes, vanished silently, like pencil marks erased by an eraser. The particles that constituted his existence were completely decomposed and assimilated by the newly born laws of the universe, returning to the most primordial flow of cosmic energy. A once-powerful figure who stirred up countless bloody storms and attempted to devour the universe was utterly annihilated, leaving not even a ripple behind.

The Supreme King's gaze swept over the exhausted warriors who had survived the calamity, and finally landed on Lin Ye at the core.

"Nexus," the Supreme King's voice resounded directly in Lin Ye's consciousness, carrying an inhuman grandeur and detachment, "You have completed your mission. A new era begins because of you." With His words, an indescribable stream of information, containing the fundamental rules of the nascent universe, instantly entered the depths of Lin Ye's consciousness.

Lin Ye shuddered, feeling as if his soul had been plunged into an ocean of pure laws. Countless profound knowledge about spatial structure, dimensional leaps, and world barriers surged forth, imprinting itself on the very essence of his soul. At the same time, an indescribable affinity grew within him, as if he himself had become part of the rules of this nascent universe, possessing the natural gift of navigating within its framework.

"This is..." Lin Ye subconsciously raised his hand, a barely perceptible stream of light flashing past his fingertips, carrying an extremely subtle otherworldly aura incongruous with the current universe. He instantly understood—this was the ability to traverse new worlds! It was a gift from the universe to him, the "hub," the key to unlocking unknown adventures!

"Supreme One!" The surviving warriors, whether powerful Kaios or ordinary cosmic warriors, all bowed deeply in reverence to the figure who reshaped the universe. Their voices coalesced into a torrent of awe, echoing through the starry sky of the newborn universe. They witnessed the end of an old era, the dawn of a new one, and the utter annihilation of a Fire Stealer.

The figure of the Supreme Omni-King gradually faded in the light of the universe's origin, as if merging into the newly born laws of heaven and earth.

Exhaustion washed over him like a tidal wave, and Lin Ye, like everyone else, almost collapsed.

Raymond struggled to move to his side and patted him hard on the shoulder with his only remaining left arm, his voice hoarse but full of power: "Well done, kid!" The pat almost knocked the exhausted Lin Ye over.

"Hey, easy, Raymond!" Alice moved over too, her face pale and her spirits low, but her eyes were filled with the joy of new life. "We...we really did it!"

Just then, a young soldier standing slightly behind Lin Ye inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lin Ye's hand hanging at his side. He rubbed his eyes, which were somewhat blurred by the energy shock, and seemed to see a faint, almost illusory, pale blue light flashing and disappearing from Lin Ye's fingertips.

"Huh?" The young soldier paused, instinctively wanting to look more closely. But the blue light had completely vanished, as if it had never been there. Lin Ye's hand looked perfectly normal, only somewhat tired.

"An illusion, perhaps? A side effect of the energy shock?" The young warrior shook his head, dismissing this trivial doubt. The newly formed universe before him, with its vast stars relit and brimming with boundless vitality and possibility, was the most remarkable miracle. Like the other warriors, he gazed up at this newborn starry sky, a smile tinged with both anticipation and exhaustion on his face.

Lin Ye didn't notice the momentary confusion on the soldier's face behind him. He simply looked down at his outstretched palm. A faint, strange sensation seemed to linger on his fingertips, as if he had touched a cool, exotic drop of water. The feeling vanished in an instant, so quickly that he thought it was just a hallucination from overexertion.

In the newborn universe, the stars breathed gently, as if countless stories were quietly being conceived in the silence.

Lin Ye raised his head and looked up at the deep and unknown starry sky.

A new era has begun, and his journey seems to have only just started.

Chapter 241: The Truth About the Temple of Time

The crimson sky pressed down heavily, the scorched earth cracked, and the air burned. A scarlet beam of light grazed Lin Ye's scalp, silently erasing the rocks behind him, leaving a smooth, deep crater.

"Duck!" The young Trunks yanked him up, the rune sword burning his hand. "Don't stand there! This is the battlefield of causality! If you get hit, even the trace of your existence will be erased!" He spoke rapidly, sweat mixed with dirt streaming down his face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

A hundred meters away, the massive Omega Core hummed, its shell cracking open at the muzzle of its honeycomb cannon. Young Trunks was unleashing a powerful slash, severing the purplish-black tentacles that were attacking Lin Ye. In that moment of distraction, several crimson beams of light shot out precisely!

Boom!

The mechanical right arm exploded into fragments, spraying blue energy liquid that sizzled and corroded the ground. Young Trunks was blasted away, energy liquid gushing from his severed arm. He roared through the excruciating pain, "Lin Ye! It's using our battle memories against us! Remember your mother's words! That's a loophole in the contract! The only way to survive!"

Mother's words?

Buzz—! A sharp pain tore at Lin Ye's temple! The battlefield scene shattered, and the pungent smell of disinfectant and the piercing beeping of the electrocardiogram monitor overwhelmed his senses.

In the cold hospital room, his mother's withered hand stroked his cheek, her voice barely a whisper: "Xiao Ye... never... give up your humanity for the sake of power... that's... the bottom line..." That pleading look that pierced his soul was etched into his memory.
