Ten Years Later

() (Here I go starting another story... The cover is finally done... Yeah, it was too big before and I couldn't upload it. I made it smaller, so now it works. The one on the cover is the protagonist. In my humble opinion, he's pretty handsome.)

The boundless universe... Countless life forms inhabited this "world"... There were aliens unlike ordinary people, as well as planets inhabited by lower life forms...

And at present... this universe was still ruled by three emperors... Countless beings were oppressed under their extraordinary power, forced to live useless lives like slaves... along with the many wicked underlings who served them...

The Underworld...

"Why have so many souls been coming to the Underworld again over the past few years?!"

King Yemma sat in his enormous body on his special chair, looking at the dense, seemingly endless queue. He spoke with a bit of a headache...

The Underworld had never been a quiet place, but this was the first time so many souls had arrived one after another. Even his hands were getting numb... It was exhausting, after all...

"According to the report... it's because the subordinates of that self-proclaimed emperor of the universe, Frieza, have been destroying planets one after another lately. Sometimes, they even kill every native on an entire planet."

A Horned Demon stood beside him, holding a sheet of paper as he spoke...

"Damn it!! Frieza... When he dies, I'm sending him to the lowest level of Hell! He's taken so many lives!"

King Yemma grew furious as soon as he heard that... He paid no attention to Frieza's underlings. Frieza was the boss, so naturally, he blamed the boss...

"But his subordinates have also committed many crimes... Some of them have very high scores, too."

The Horned Demon glanced at the sheet, then spoke...

"Tell me. I want to see which bastards have been running wild like this... When they die, I'll send every last one of them straight to Hell."

King Yemma looked at the ledger and spoke loudly...

"Hmm... There's a fellow named Ginyu... He's very powerful, and his evil score is extremely high. It's already over a hundred thousand. Then there are Jeice, Recoome, and Burter. Their scores have all exceeded fifty thousand..."

The Horned Demon carefully read out everything written on the list, murmuring as he went...

"What?! Those damned bastards..."

King Yemma flew into a rage. After all, a score below a hundred was just about enough to warrant going to Hell... But once it went above that, the person was a definite candidate. Ginyu's score was over a hundred thousand. With numbers like that, simply sending him to Hell wouldn't be enough...

"Huh... Strange. There's someone whose score is even higher than theirs..."

Suddenly, the Horned Demon noticed an astonishing number and stared in shock...

"What?! Someone else? Could it be Frieza?!"

King Yemma immediately questioned him...

"No... This person's name is Betkas... He seems to be a Saiyan remnant, and he's even one of Frieza's men. His evil score has actually passed four million... Th-this is incredible... What did he do to rack up such a score? How many people did he kill...?"

The Horned Demon seemed stunned by the figures and murmured in disbelief...

"Another Saiyan... Sigh... What a nuisance. The Saiyans were nearly wiped out more than ten years ago, and now another one has appeared, even worse than the rest... I doubt any Saiyan in history could compare to him."

King Yemma covered his forehead in exasperation...

"If only someone could deal with that bunch of bastards led by Frieza!"

"Betkas! Wait up!"

On a certain high-tech planet... Betkas was strolling slowly through a palace... Suddenly, someone called out from behind him. Betkas turned around and saw Ginyu walking over, looking eager and excited. "Well? Have you decided about what I asked you last time?!"

"Ah... What was that?"

Betkas was taken aback. After thinking it over, he couldn't recall anything important, so he asked in confusion...

"Joining my Ginyu Force... That's what!!"

Ginyu held back the urge to curse, then calmed himself and spoke...

"No!"

The moment Ginyu finished speaking, Betkas rejected him without the slightest change in expression...

"What?!"

Ginyu had been feeling quite pleased with himself, but Betkas's words left him stunned... He had thought Betkas would join. Who knew Betkas would shut him down with just one sentence, without even hesitating...

"Why?! What's wrong with joining the Ginyu Force? With your strength, you'd be second only to me among Lord Frieza's subordinates... Lord Frieza thinks highly of your potential, so I got special permission and asked him to let you join."

Ginyu asked, not understanding...

"Because... I don't like dancing... Besides, I'm going to Planet Arlas on Lord Frieza's orders to make a deal. I heard the other party's negotiator is pretty powerful..."

Betkas didn't stop. He kept walking forward and spoke lazily...

"What an inconsiderate guy... Captain Ginyu, just forget about him. Saiyans really are a bunch of wild monkeys..."

A White-haired Red-faced Alien suddenly stepped out from behind Ginyu and spoke dismissively...

"Jeice, don't underestimate Betkas... His battle power is more than eighty thousand..."

Ginyu spoke with a serious expression...

"No way, Captain Ginyu... How could he still be hiding his strength?"

Jeice looked incredulous...

"I don't know... I can't judge his actual strength, either. But it's definitely no less than a hundred thousand... He's the strongest Saiyan in history. Even Vegeta only has a battle power of twenty thousand right now..."

Ginyu spoke gravely...

"How is that possible... A battle power of at least a hundred thousand... He's only twenty-three... Wasn't his battle power just over twelve thousand ten years ago?!"

Jeice said, unable to believe it...

"Perhaps he's a genius among geniuses... Fortunately, he doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. That's why Lord Frieza didn't eliminate him back then, despite Dodoria and Zarbon asking him to..."

Ginyu continued...

"Maybe this trip will bring another surprise..."

Betkas had just boarded the spaceship he'd used for nearly ten years. Watching the scene outside as it flew away, he murmured expressionlessly...
