King Cold Enters Earth

The East China Sea, an island some distance from the mainland.

Majestic green mountains stand in the center of the island, surrounded by many overlapping peaks. These peaks stretch from south to north, forming a crescent-shaped bay. In the bay, there is a medium-sized harbor, which serves as a temporary dock for fishermen to rest before going out to sea.

A sea breeze was blowing, waves were lapping against the shore, and the air was filled with dampness. The clear blue sea met the sky, and the surface of the sea shimmered, giving people a sense of boundless vastness.

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded in the sky.

The air trembled intermittently.

A huge shadow streaked across the sky, its projection sweeping across the calm sea before finally settling on a high ground not far from Crescent Bay. With a whoosh, a brown spaceship, a hundred meters in diameter, slowly descended. The ground trembled under the intense wind pressure, which swept across the surroundings like blades, cleansing the protruding rocks on the surface.

Click!

After the spaceship came to a stop, twenty-four thick steel pincers extended and pierced the soil. A moment later, the spaceship's hatch opened, and King Cold led his army out of the spaceship. Then, the aliens strapped with energy cannons began to sweep away life in the bay.

Thud thud thud, scorching energy beams shot out from the portable cannon barrel.

Accompanied by pitiful screams of agony, energy lasers swept across the waters, and all the fishermen who had gone out to sea and were temporarily anchored in the bay perished at the hands of King Cold's cosmic army.

"Ahem, this is Earth, nothing special."

King Cold, draped in a wide cloak, crossed his strong arms and surveyed his surroundings with indifferent eyes.

Earth feels quite ordinary. Apart from water resources and primeval forests, there are no rare metals worth developing. Therefore, before the discovery of the Dragon Ball, it was considered a planet with no development value and was not given much attention.

He gave his subordinates a look, and the cosmic men understood immediately, taking out advanced Scouter to probe Earth.

The results of the probe were quickly displayed.

"King Cold, according to the Scouter results, there are only seventeen energy reactions on Earth with a combat power exceeding 1000..."

"Don't easily trust the Scouter's data. Remember, this is the place where the entire Ginyu Force and my Elite Squad were wiped out. There can't be only this much energy reaction." King Cold stroked his chin. "These Earthling must have mastered the technique of controlling their body's energy. Heh, I never thought such a planet would be hidden under my rule. Are those aliens who collect planetary data just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Please forgive me, King Cold!"

"Never mind, finding the Dragon Ball is the priority. Whoever finds the Dragon Ball first will be richly rewarded."

Narrowing his crimson eyes, King Cold gave the order directly.

"Yes, sir."

A group of strangely-looking aliens shouted in unison, and then spread out of the island in all directions like locusts, quickly dispersing to all parts of the world.

After his subordinates dispersed to search for the Dragon Ball, King Cold smiled leisurely. With the help of the staff, a temporary relaxation area was set up. He then lay down, crossed his legs, and leisurely sipped red wine while basking in the sun.

All he had to do was wait quietly for his subordinates to deliver the Dragon Ball.

King Cold's primary purpose in coming to Earth was to find the Dragon Ball. Whether there were any powerful individuals or other potential resources on Earth was secondary and he didn't care at all. As long as he could find the Dragon Ball and achieve his wish of immortality, he would be satisfied and wouldn't care about anything else.

During his years in seclusion, King Cold knew how to enjoy life to the fullest, and his desire for fame and fortune had diminished considerably.

With the help of the Berryblue King Cold Force Kikono, his son Frieza managed the family's power very well, so he had nothing to worry about.

Speaking of his son Frieza, King Cold recalled his son's actions over the past few days. It was clear that after hearing about the situation on his side, Frieza had indeed set off for Planet Namek.

"... Frieza is still a very obedient child. I hope he can gain something on Planet Namek. Well, even if he doesn't gain anything there, I will still give him a reward once I obtain the Dragon Ball from Earth."

Whether Frieza genuinely listened to his advice or went to Planet Namek because he knew he couldn't reach Earth before him, Frieza's choice pleased King Cold greatly.

"Yage, contact Frieza for me. I want to tell him about the situation on Earth..." King Cold was in a good mood and wanted to contact Frieza to share his joy.

Tamagami.

As King Cold's spaceship landed on Earth, a suffocatingly cold aura swept in from below, and the air instantly froze. Goku and the others looked on in astonishment, as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on their chests, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

"This is King Cold's aura; his mere presence is enough to immobilize me."

"I feel like I can't breathe."

"Terrible, it's so powerful it's almost despair-inducing!"

"...60 million power level, and we don't even know if that's his true strength. After all, King Kai only said that he saw him use that power a long time ago. Maybe he's even stronger." Krillin and the others struggled to resist King Cold's aura, their eyes flashing with disbelief and astonishment.

They then gave a wry smile. The battle hadn't even started yet, and they were already immobilized by the opponent's imposing aura. How could they possibly fight like this?

The harsh reality told them that the enemy was far more powerful than they had imagined.

"Goku, how confident are you?" Piccolo looked at Goku with a grim face and a solemn expression, his fists clenched tightly.

"I'm not confident; this time, I really have to leave it to fate," Goku said with a wry smile.

King Cold was the strongest opponent Goku had ever faced. Although his normal fighting power was already as high as 2.4 million, and he could unleash tens of millions of fighting power if he used the Kaioken with all his might, Goku really had no confidence at all against King Cold.

Fortunately Bulma and Master Roshi had already left on their spaceship, allowing them to leave all burdens behind and fight a desperate battle on Earth. Even now, Goku was still unaware that Roland and Broly were the most terrifying people he had ever encountered.

"Everyone, King Cold has arrived on Earth! Let's go fight!"

"You always have to go crazy at least once in a while."

"I hope I can withstand their attack. It would be too embarrassing to die without even taking a hit," Krillin said with a grin, then leaped off the Kami's Lookout and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the island where King Cold was located.

"Let's go too, hoping for a good ending."

Subsequently, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Chi-Chi, Suno, and other powerful figures from Earth also left the Kami's Lookout.

"Bulla, let's go too!"

Goku waved to Bulla, then took a deep breath, his dark eyes flashing with a sharp light, and with a "whoosh," he transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared.

Faced with a terrifying and unknown enemy, he felt uncertain, but for some reason, he didn't feel fear in this desperate situation; in fact, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This is probably due to the influence of Saiyan Bloodline.

Watching Goku and his daughter leave Kami's Lookout Kami's Lookout, only Old Kami and Piccolo remained. Old Kami's aged face showed some gloom as he solemnly said to Piccolo, "Actually, there is another way to increase our strength. If we are lucky, we might be able to defeat King Cold."

Piccolo paused for a moment, then said, "You're planning to re-merge with me? Sorry, I don't want to lose my own consciousness yet."

"No, even after the fusion, you will still be the master. I will merely become your power and experience." The Old Kami shook his head.

"Hmph, but I don't want to merge with you, you old geezer. Let's not even talk about whether we can defeat the enemy after merging. Even if we could, once you disappear after merging, the Dragon Ball of Earth will also disappear. Now is not the time!" With that, Piccolo jumped off the Kami's Lookout without looking back and disappeared into the rolling sea of clouds.

Piccolo resisted merging with Old Kami because he hadn't experienced the merging with Nail on Planet Namek as depicted in the original story. Piccolo hadn't completely transformed from the Demon Clan into Namekian.
