Encounter Battle

Two days later...

"Beep beep, entering the Perseus Galaxy."

The spaceship's mechanical voice woke Krillin from his deep sleep.

Yawning, Krillin smacked his lips and walked toward the cockpit with tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes.

With a toothbrush in his mouth, Krillin gazed sleepily ahead, then froze in shock.

The outer region of the Persean System was a ring formed from brilliant blue stars, while the sphere at its center was mainly composed of many older Red Giant Stars.

The sun was only a single star, yet the outer reaches of the Persean System were actually made up of bright stars, while its center seemed somewhat dim. That darkness confirmed that, many years ago, the central planets of the Persean System had undergone a supernova explosion, leaving behind only aged Red Giant Stars.

Krillin slowly closed his eyes and sensed the star map flashing through his mind. The Perseus Galaxy consisted of several important primary stars: the central Persean Star, Andromeda Star behind it, Cepheus Star, and Yingwu Star, the second star of Zhongmen.

Krillin could hardly wait to explore it. There were intense energy fluctuations within this nebula. Haha, there was definitely high energy here.

"Spaceship, accelerate!" Krillin said excitedly.

Krillin quickly jumped out of the pilot's seat and entered the washroom. He wiped his bald head with a towel, then looked at himself in the mirror and revealed a row of neat teeth. "Looking sharp!"

Krillin put on his usual Martial Arts Uniform and returned to the cockpit, stuffing some unknown food into his mouth.

"Beep beep, battle fluctuations detected ahead. Would you like to detour?" the spaceship's mechanical voice announced.

"Hm? How far away? Why can't I sense it myself?" Krillin closed his eyes and extended his senses forward.

"Distance: one light-year. Battle energy fluctuations have reached 20,000."

"One light-year? That's pretty far. No wonder I can't sense it. No detour—full speed ahead. Reach the battlefield as soon as possible," Krillin ordered, putting down his food.

One minute later, they had reached the battlefield. Krillin concealed himself behind dark matter and observed the scene.

A rather battered spaceship was under siege from dozens of ships.

"Captain Scar, we can't escape. Let's fight them to the death!" an alien covered in wounds said resolutely.

Scar looked at his team members, pain flashing through his eyes. As their captain, he could not lead them to safety. That was his own incompetence!

Scar looked at the battered spaceship, determination flashing in his eyes. "Charge at them! Even if we die, we'll take them down with us!"

After saying that, Scar silently prayed that Princess Xiyal would successfully escape.

"Yes, Captain!" The remaining eight team members had long been waiting impatiently for their captain's order. As warriors of Persean Star, even if they died, they would die on the path of battle.

"My lord, they've changed direction. It looks like they're going to charge at us!" an ugly alien reported to an earth-dark alien.

"They're courting death. Order every remaining ship to concentrate their fire and shoot it down," the earth-dark alien said confidently.

Boom! Boom! The battered spaceship endured another fierce barrage and was now on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Krillin knew the situation was dire. He had to save that battered spaceship. He could sense evil Ki from those nine ships. They should be Shaviza's subordinates.

Krillin's figure flashed, vanishing from where he stood. A moment later, he appeared atop a spaceship.

"Hey, ha!" Veins bulged across Krillin's body as he held his hands at his abdomen. Faint blue-white light shone between his palms. The Kamehameha was coming... Krillin shouted as he spun his hands in a circle and thrust them forward.

The earth-dark alien watched the battered spaceship teeter on the brink of destruction, delight filling his heart. Their princess had escaped from Lord Shaviza, and Lord Shaviza had been furious. Now that he had rendered meritorious service, wouldn't Lord Shaviza think more highly of him?

"Beep beep beep!" While the alien was lost in his fantasies, red lights flashed throughout the spaceship and a piercing alarm sounded.

"Beep beep, excessive energy approaching. Excessive energy approaching."

At that moment, the earth-dark alien's face was unusually bright. The high-energy Kamehameha illuminated the entire dim spaceship, and the alien stared blankly as the enormous glow rushed toward him.

"Ah! Ah!" Many aliens let out agonized cries. Krillin increased the power of the Kamehameha in his hands, and the white light became even more intense.

Rumble! Rumble! The aliens' spaceships exploded one after another, turning into scattered components that drifted downward.

"Huff, huff!" Krillin panted heavily and shook his head. I'm still too weak. I didn't even turn them into dust. Destroying enemy spaceships was vastly different from reducing the enemy to ashes.

Inside the battered spaceship, everyone stared ahead in stunned silence.

One team member swallowed hard. "Captain, what just happened?"

How would Scar know? He had only seen a flash of white light, and those aliens had been completely wiped out.

The other team members had yet to recover from their shock when their captain finally calmed down somewhat. "While we have the chance, get out of this starfield immediately."

"Captain Scar, our ship's propulsion system was completely destroyed in that attack. We can't travel long distances now," a team member responsible for piloting said dejectedly.

The team members who had just been celebrating their narrow escape immediately revealed despairing expressions upon hearing that the ship's propulsion system had been destroyed.

Since they were already doomed, why give them hope of survival? Why cruelly shatter that hope after giving it to them?

Scar gave a bitter laugh. "Such is fate! Since we can't escape, then let us die for Persean Star."

Everyone shouted, "We die for Persean Star!"

Suddenly, a figure wearing a Martial Arts Uniform flashed into view. Looking at the impassioned crowd, he said, "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

Everyone was startled by Krillin's sudden appearance. They hurriedly retreated dozens of steps and watched him warily.

Krillin touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Who are you? Where did you come from? Why did you board our spaceship?" Captain Scar stepped forward and questioned Krillin.

Krillin looked at the people before him strangely and inwardly complained, Damn? Another transmigrator? Asking such a profound philosophical question just like that?

Time: Era 756

Name: Scar

Race: Persean

Battle Power: 9000

Training Speed: High

Krillin grumbled inwardly. If you weren't a Persean, I'd be shouting, "Heavenly king covers the earth tiger!"

"Hello, my name is Krillin. I come from the distant Northern Galaxy, and my hometown is Earth," Krillin said politely to Scar.

Seeing that Krillin bore no hostility, Scar relaxed his guard and said, "I'm Scar, from Persean Star. I'm their captain." After speaking, Scar glanced at the others, as though telling them there was nothing to worry about.

Now that he knew they were from Persean Star, things would be easy. First, he would trick them onto his spaceship—no, invite them onto his spaceship. Once they were aboard, wouldn't they be at his mercy?

"This spaceship is about to explode. Please board mine. It isn't safe to remain here long; enemy reinforcements will arrive soon," Krillin said to Scar with a broad grin.

"Captain," one team member said quietly, expressing his distrust of Krillin.

Scar laughed. "If I'm not mistaken, the person who saved us just now was him. With strength that terrifying, if he wanted to kill us, it would take no more than an instant."

When the other team members heard that the person before them had saved them, they were astonished, and their suspicion diminished considerably.

Krillin laughed without denying what he had done. He had put in all that effort; surely it was fine for them to thank him.

Krillin made a welcoming gesture.

Happy May Day, readers! There's a reason May Day is called Labor Day. Hehehe.
