King Cold Attacks

At that very moment.

Bulma's house.

A series of "ah, ah, ah" cries echoed throughout the room.

At that moment, Ji Yun and Bulma were in the room, busy doing what young people did.

He had sensed long ago that an enemy had arrived on Earth.

This time, the enemy was no ordinary foe. Though still no match for him, they would be more than a handful for Goku and the others.

He really wanted to go help, but he just couldn't get away—no, he just couldn't pull himself away!

Ji Yun looked down at Bulma, her cheeks flushed.

He instantly came back to his senses and cursed inwardly, Damn it, I was clearly busy with something important. How could I get distracted? This is awful!

Ji Yun shook his head and picked up the pace.

Diligent beads of sweat covered his forehead, and he worked away like an old ox plowing a field.

Meanwhile.

Just as everyone was wondering why Ji Yun still hadn't arrived,

Rumble!

A huge spaceship descended from the sky.

With a deafening roar, it slowly landed near them.

Boom, boom!

Then more than a dozen smaller ships appeared in their line of sight.

One by one, they landed around the larger ship.

Click! Click! Click!

The hatches of all the ships opened.

A group of uniformly equipped, well-trained soldiers stepped out.

At their head was none other than Frieza's father, King Cold!

"Is that... Frieza?!"

Piccolo looked utterly shocked.

How could Frieza still be alive?

He had seen Ji Yun kill him with his own eyes. What on earth was going on?

"This..."

Goku hesitated. He couldn't believe it either. This guy had clearly already been killed.

How had he suddenly come back to life?

"That probably isn't Frieza!"

Vegeta said gravely.

He had served Frieza for a long time.

The man before them looked a lot like Frieza, but he was probably not the same person.

Besides, this guy was clearly bigger than Frieza.

"His ki is so powerful. How could we possibly beat him?"

Krillin stared at them nervously, his voice trembling.

Not only was the man at the front incredibly powerful, but even his subordinates had formidable auras.

"This planet isn't bad. What a shame it's about to be destroyed!"

As soon as King Cold stepped off the ship, he looked around.

If he hadn't come to avenge his son, he wouldn't have wanted to destroy this planet.

It would have made a fine home, or fetched a good price if sold.

"King Cold, we may not be able to find the culprit who killed King Frieza anytime soon."

"Why don't we kill everyone on this planet first?"

A purple-skinned man with horns on his head suggested.

He was Ginyu, captain of the Ginyu Force.

They hadn't had a chance to go to Namek, so they had escaped death.

This time, they had come to Earth with King Cold to avenge their beloved King Frieza.

"Mm, that's a good suggestion. Go ahead."

King Cold said coolly.

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Ginyu said excitedly.

He led his men toward the city, ready to slaughter everyone in their path.

"Wait!"

Goku shouted, stepping in front of the Ginyu Force as they were about to leave.

In doing so, he also revealed where the others were hiding.

"That idiot, Kakarot!"

Vegeta frowned and cursed under his breath.

With his current abilities, he wasn't afraid of the Ginyu Force at all.

But they also had to deal with the unfathomable King Cold.

Until they knew how strong he was, it was best to stay hidden and observe.

"Oh? Hahaha! Looks like we don't have to go looking. Someone's come out on their own!"

Captain Ginyu looked at Son Goku and gave a cold, mocking laugh.

"Well, whatever! We'll have to face them sooner or later. Let's go!"

Krillin gritted his teeth and dashed forward.

He went straight to Goku's side.

Earth's very survival was at stake. No matter how strong he was, he could at least do his part.

Seeing Krillin charge in first, the others stopped hiding too and gathered around Goku.

"Heh, looks like there's quite a lot of trash to deal with."

King Cold lifted his head and looked up at the sky, sneering.

The fighters who had appeared were so weak that there was no way they could have killed Frieza.

"What are you doing on Earth? You're not welcome here!"

Goku ignored Ginyu in front of him and shouted down at King Cold.

"What am I doing on Earth?" At Goku's words, King Cold's expression darkened. He glared at Goku and asked coldly, "Who killed my son, Frieza?"

King Cold's gaze swept over the group one by one.

Though he didn't believe they could have killed Frieza, they surely knew who had done it.

"Go back. That person isn't someone you can afford to provoke. The dead can't be brought back to life, after all!"

"You can still leave now. Don't follow in Frieza's footsteps!"

Hearing King Cold's question, Goku immediately understood what he was after.

He tried earnestly to talk him out of it.

"Not someone I can afford to provoke? Hahaha!"

King Cold paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

His men, including the Ginyu Force, laughed mockingly along with him.

"Did you hear what that piece of trash said? He told me to hurry up and leave!"

"Hahaha! I have to admit, the people on this planet are pretty funny!"

"Hey, kid, do you know who you're standing in front of?"

"Oh, I can't take it! My stomach's about to burst from laughing!"

King Cold laughed loudly for a while too.

Then he managed to compose himself.

"That was a pretty good joke. I'll consider making you the last one I kill."

King Cold said mockingly.

He didn't believe anyone on this planet could have killed Frieza.

Frieza must have let his guard down and been caught in some underhanded scheme.

But he wasn't Frieza. He wouldn't give this bunch a chance.

"King Cold, enough talk. Let's just kill them!"

Captain Ginyu had already lost patience.

"Very well. Go play with them first!"

King Cold nodded, granting his subordinates' request.

"Don't worry, King Cold. The Ginyu Force will make sure they have a wonderful time!"

Ginyu gave a sinister laugh.

Then they split up, each picking a target.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Goku suddenly shouted, warning his companions.

Almost instantly, Ginyu appeared right in front of Goku.

Without a word, the two began to fight.

Krillin, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and the others also faced their own opponents.

They all joined the melee.

Vegeta, meanwhile, stayed hidden, quietly waiting for the right moment.
