Revealing an Opponent!

In the distant starry sky, three spherical spacecraft streaked continuously through space. Like meteors, they passed one planet after another. The three youths seated inside them appeared somewhat lonely and bored...

"Hey... Big Brother Vegeta... tell us something interesting. It's always so quiet—how boring..." Betkas said with a miserable expression through the communicator to Vegeta's spacecraft...

"Quit babbling! Shut up!" Vegeta had been resting with his eyes closed, but the moment he heard that, he snapped angrily. Betkas, meanwhile, said shamelessly, "Tch... What else is there to do? Besides, there are only ten-odd minutes left until we reach our destination. Chat a little, lift our spirits, build some rapport—so we don't mess up our coordination later."

Vegeta's mouth twitched slightly. If Betkas's actual combat power had not been roughly equal to his own, he might have felt the urge to kill him. Though he had harbored that thought for a long time already... He then said, "You bastard..."

Hearing Vegeta respond, Betkas grinned slightly. "Nappa... don't you agree?!"

Nappa sat inside his spacecraft, stunned at the words. He had not expected Betkas to drag him into this... Somewhat flustered, he said, "Th-this... this...!"

Vegeta said impatiently, "All of you, shut up!" Though his voice came through the communicator, both Betkas and Nappa could hear Vegeta's anger and irritation. The two wisely stopped talking, though their reactions differed. Betkas looked unconcerned, while Nappa trembled nervously... As someone born into the nobility, he could not afford to offend either Vegeta, the prince, or Betkas, the Third Prince. It was not just a matter of status—more importantly, it was a matter of strength... At present, Betkas could be said to be nearly as strong as Vegeta. Though there was a slight gap between them, it was not much. Only Nappa's combat power was pitifully low.

Betkas's Combat Power: 3053

Vegeta's Combat Power: 3062

Nappa's Combat Power: 764

Compared to the other two, the gap was practically laughable... Because of Betkas, Vegeta had trained much more over the years. With his arrogant personality, there was no way he could allow himself to lose to his own younger brother... Though he had already lost countless times... Still, his diligence was far beyond that of ordinary people. And the three of them were still young... Betkas dared to estimate that once Vegeta and Nappa grew up to the level they had reached in the original story, Nappa's combat power might surpass ten thousand at the very least. After all, he himself was this butterfly effect... As for Vegeta, he might exceed twenty-five thousand at minimum. And Betkas himself? He had set a high goal. He would not rest until he reached one hundred and twenty thousand!

The reasoning was simple. Among Lord Frieza's subordinates, the strongest was Ginyu himself. In the original story, Ginyu possessed a combat power as high as one hundred and twenty thousand. If Betkas wanted to preserve his life, he could only strive with all his might to surpass Ginyu—or at least match him. That way, he would have enough say when facing Lord Frieza's subordinates, instead of having to watch others' expressions. Even Dodoria and Zarbon, who followed Lord Frieza, would be the same...

As for being feared by Frieza because his combat power was too high? There was absolutely no need to worry about that... Frieza possessed a combat power of five hundred and thirty thousand without even transforming. After fully transforming, he surpassed one hundred million... Would he fear some wild monkey with a combat power of merely a hundred thousand or so? As for a Super Saiyan? Frieza had not taken that seriously either. Destroying Planet Vegeta had indeed involved that concern, but more than that, the Saiyans had been troublesome—rebellious—and arrogant. That was why he exterminated them...

"Target reached!"

At that moment, the three spacecraft broke through the atmosphere of a pale yellow planet and rapidly descended...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The three meteor-like figures shot straight toward the interior of the planet. After flying over many places, they landed directly in a wilderness.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Three impacts rang out as the spherical spacecraft crashed into the ground, each smashing out a deep crater nearly ten meters wide... The three of them opened their hatches at the same time and stepped out...

The moment Betkas emerged, his gaze narrowed slightly. "The air on this planet is really pungent. Does a planet like this truly have any value?" He covered his nose, looking somewhat disgusted...

Vegeta also covered his nose lightly with one hand. "Who knows! Our mission is simple anyway. Kill everyone on this planet! After that, those people can take it over." He then lifted his foot and walked toward the top of the crater. Betkas quickly followed, and Nappa immediately trailed behind them.

But the moment the three stepped out of the crater, they discovered they were in a desolate wilderness. A cold wind blew continuously, carrying sand and stones with it... The place looked especially barren... Several hundred meters away stood a village billowing with thick smoke...

The three suddenly grew inexplicably excited at the sight... Vegeta and Betkas exchanged a glance. Without needing words, they flew directly toward the distant village. Nappa immediately followed... The three were incredibly fast. In just a few blinks, they had already arrived above the village. Looking at the busy crowd below, Vegeta and Betkas wore mocking expressions.

Vegeta sneered. "We'll start with these people!" At the same time, he slowly raised his right hand toward the front. A purple Ki Blast began forming in his palm, illuminating the surroundings with a dazzling glow.

Betkas smiled slightly. "No problem!" He raised his left hand as well, gathering the ki within his body into his palm. A golden Ki Blast gradually began to form...

Watching their actions from behind, Nappa did the same...

The three fired their Ki Blasts at once... Like three meteors, they plummeted toward the ground below...

BOOM!!!

A violent explosion erupted... A mushroom cloud shot into the sky as a fierce gale swept through the area... Dust and sand rose from the ground, drifting through the air... Mixed among them were strange fluids and scattered severed limbs...

Vegeta looked coldly at the bizarre sight below. "What a bore." Betkas nodded in deep agreement. Then, in the very next second, five figures suddenly appeared before them... The three immediately became alert, their expressions turning serious...

"You three little brats!!! You actually dared to kill our clansmen!" Once the five figures appeared, Betkas, Vegeta, and Nappa could finally make out their appearances... They wore earthy yellow robes, and their skin was a pure yellow—far yellower than that of ordinary yellow-skinned humans. Their muscles bulged, making it obvious that they possessed immense strength... Their heads were spherical, with an antenna on top and not a single strand of hair. Their furious eyes had earthy yellow pupils... The other four looked much the same, differing only somewhat in height.

"What a pity... Big Brother Vegeta, Lord Frieza didn't give us scouters, so we have no idea what these people's combat power is." Betkas looked at the five opponents and spoke with a slightly grave expression...

Vegeta said disdainfully, "They're nothing but trash!" The five on the other side instantly turned livid upon hearing that... Veins bulged across their bodies as though they were about to explode with rage...

One of the taller aliens among the five spoke furiously. "You will pay for what you've done! The consequences of angering the Chicks Clan will be severe!"
