When Son Gohan and the others sensed the arrival of the Ginyu Force, they had already arranged for Bulma and Dende to stay inside a cave. It was too dangerous outside, and they feared something might go wrong.
"Gohan, several powerful presences are flying toward us, and that Vegeta is closing in on us too. What's going on?"
Krillin looked at Son Gohan in confusion. Why had another group of aliens appeared on Planet Namek?
They had flown straight toward them as soon as they landed. Were they Saiyan reinforcements?
"They should be here to deliver Scouters to Frieza. As for Vegeta flying over here, he's probably seeking protection. He simply has no way to deal with four people right now."
The corners of Son Gohan's lips curled up slightly. Guldo, you've finally come?
I'm really looking forward to that time-stopping Time Attribute!
He was thrilled inside. If he fought by stopping time first, then unleashed a Destructo Disc... wouldn't that be perfect?
Within a few breaths, Vegeta and several members of the Ginyu Force arrived above Son Gohan one after another.
"My dear Prince Vegeta, I thought you were going to run away. So you came looking for help?"
"Hey, look! That Imps is a Saiyan. He even has a Tail growing from his backside."
"They're the Saiyans from Earth, right?"
"Hahaha, looks like Vegeta isn't stupid either. He knew he wasn't our match, so he actually came to find teammates."
"No matter how many of them there are, I, Cooler, can wipe them all out by myself."
"Cooler, you can't be so selfish. This time, we'll draw lots fairly to decide our opponents."
The Ginyu Force did not take Son Gohan and the others seriously at all.
They casually discussed among themselves who would make the first move.
Son Gohan looked at them as if they were idiots, paying particular attention to Guldo.
They were not much different from their anime counterparts.
"Bastards, do you really think I, Vegeta, am dead? You Frieza lapdogs have gone too far!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth in fury. He was the Prince of the Saiyans, a genius warrior—when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
He fired an Energy Blast from his hand straight at the four of them.
Bang!
"My dear Vegeta, don't be in such a hurry. Once we've finished discussing things, we'll deal with you nice and slowly!"
Cooler casually knocked Vegeta's Energy Blast aside and spoke with a grin.
Vegeta clenched his teeth, his face twisting viciously. These guys were infamous for their monstrous strength.
Judging from how easily they had deflected the Energy Blast he fired earlier, their strength was definitely no weaker than his own.
With someone as powerful as Son Gohan beside him, Krillin felt very secure.
He said nothing, wanting only to see what tricks these guys intended to play.
In the end, Guldo of the Ginyu Force won this round of rock-paper-scissors.
"Let's start with these two Imps."
Guldo's four eyes swept continuously over Vegeta, Krillin, and Son Gohan.
In the end, he set his sights on Son Gohan and Krillin.
Their Scouters showed that their Battle Power was only a little over 3,000. Naturally, he would pick the softest targets first.
"Vegeta, let me explain the rules. While they're fighting, you absolutely cannot interfere. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting rough."
Cooler spoke to Vegeta with a playful expression, his tone full of threat.
To them, this battle was nothing more than a game.
The other three flew to another mountain to watch the battle.
"Brat, be careful. That guy has a very powerful Superpower—the Time Stop Technique."
Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and spoke as though he did not care.
In truth, he was overjoyed. You actually dared to cause trouble for Kakarot's son. You really must be tired of living.
"Gohan, I'll go first this time. Find an opening and take that guy out."
Krillin completely ignored Vegeta's warning. Crocodile tears!
He volunteered to fight this time. After the Grand Elder of Planet Namek had enhanced his strength, he needed to hurry and temper himself. The battles ahead would only become more and more intense.
Son Gohan nodded with a smile. This was exactly the outcome he wanted, so he could obtain the Time Stop Technique.
"Hahaha, the ignorant are truly fearless!"
When Guldo saw the little Baldy Krillin intending to challenge him alone—and even daring to claim that he would take him out—he sneered. Did they really think he was made of clay?
I'm the soul of the Ginyu Force. My Time Stop Technique is incredibly powerful.
"Cut the crap. Watch how awesome I am."
Krillin struck first. His body vanished from where he stood, and he moved at incredible speed to appear above Guldo, firing an Energy Wave at him.
He could sense that the three people watching from above had extremely powerful auras. He wanted to end this quickly and take out the Four-Eyed Monster in an instant.
"What? Time Stop!"
Guldo saw Krillin suddenly vanish, only for him to reappear and launch an Energy Wave from his hand.
Cold sweat streamed down Guldo's forehead. Was this really someone with over 3,000 battle power?
He hurriedly held his breath, raised both hands, and used the Time Stop Technique. Then he witnessed a shocking sight.
The little Baldy's Energy Wave had already appeared right in front of him.
Guldo nearly collapsed in fright and hastily fled from the area.
He simply could not hold that breath any longer and let it out heavily, and time resumed its flow.
Rumble!
The Energy Wave instantly blasted a huge crater into the ground.
Cold sweat broke out on Guldo's forehead when he saw it. Luckily, he had run fast enough. If he had been hit, even if he did not die, he would have been seriously injured.
It turned out that the duration of the Time Stop Technique was determined by how long Guldo could hold his breath. As soon as he exhaled, time would resume.
Son Gohan watched the two of them in surprise, wondering why no Time Attribute had dropped.
That guy had just used the Time Stop Technique.
Vegeta seemed to have noticed something as well, his eyes constantly shifting.
That guy Guldo must have used a Superpower to stop time. Otherwise, there was no way my eyes could have failed to keep up with his speed.
This guy's Time Stop Technique was too powerful. I have to seize an opportunity to get him killed, or it'll be troublesome once they join forces.
"Damn it, are you really that fast? I don't believe it."
After the Time Stop Technique was released, Krillin found that Guldo was nowhere in front of him. He assumed the other guy was simply fast.
He never imagined that Guldo had used a Superpower to stop time. Energy Blasts continuously flew from his hands toward Guldo.
"Not good, Time Stop Technique!"
Seeing the massive Energy Blasts hurtling toward him, Guldo knew he would definitely die if he was hit. Without hesitation, he used the Time Stop Technique again.
Holding his breath, he did not dare gamble with his life. He desperately fled the area, only daring to exhale once he felt safe.
Rumble!
Guldo watched as the spot where he had been standing instantly exploded. The ground caved in, and thick smoke billowed upward.
Something's not right. Why did I run? I could've just killed him directly.
Sigh, why is my brain so stupid?
He slapped his forehead and spoke with a look of sudden realization.
