Trunks

"When?"

King Cold was shocked.

With his strength, he hadn't even noticed someone appearing behind him.

King Cold whipped around and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The people of Earth saw that Ji Yun had arrived.

They immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if their savior had come.

"Me? I'm the person you've been longing to find!"

Ji Yun said with a faint smile.

"Heh, I can't believe you dared to show yourself. You really don't know when to quit."

King Cold regained his composure and spoke with disdain.

Ji Yun could only shake his head helplessly. "You really are father and son. You even talk the same way!"

By all rights, Future Trunks should arrive in this timeline around now.

He would easily take this guy out.

However, Ji Yun had received a mission from the system several days ago.

So he had no choice but to carry it out. The reward for this mission was exceptionally generous: if he could take out King Cold, his battle power would double. That was the system's reward.

"You're asking for it!"

King Cold's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Then his enormous body moved with incredible speed.

In an instant, he was right in front of Ji Yun.

His massive fist came crashing down toward Ji Yun's head with a palm-heel strike.

Ji Yun watched indifferently as the fist came down.

The energy within him suddenly gathered, and a red aura flared around his body.

"Ten Times Kaio-ken!"

Ji Yun suddenly powered up, stirring up a violent gale around him.

The force of the wind held King Cold's fist suspended above Ji Yun's head, unable to descend.

Ji Yun had a base battle power of 35 million.

With the boost from Kaio-ken, his battle power reached a full 350 million.

King Cold was only a little stronger than Frieza.

He was no match for Ji Yun at all.

"How is this possible? How can his power..."

King Cold's eyes filled with terror.

He couldn't imagine how a human could possess such tremendous strength.

Ji Yun had stopped his attack with nothing but the aura around him.

Boom!

With a muffled crash, King Cold was sent sprawling.

Throughout the entire exchange, Ji Yun hadn't even made a move.

He had taken King Cold down with nothing but the force of the aura he unleashed.

The people who had been watching were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

Goku and Piccolo took it better, having witnessed the earth-shattering battle on Namek.

But the others were seeing Ji Yun at full strength for the first time.

They were completely dumbfounded.

Ji Yun, by contrast, seemed perfectly calm, as if this were only to be expected.

He walked up to King Cold and said casually, "You'll see your son soon."

Hearing this, King Cold regretted everything.

If only I hadn't gone after revenge for that good-for-nothing son of mine.

"Please, don't kill me. I can give you this planet."

"No, I can give you the entire star system. That's no problem at all."

"Just please don't kill me. I promise I'll never come here again."

King Cold hurriedly begged for mercy.

A real expert could tell at a glance who was stronger.

Although he wasn't injured, he knew all too well that he was no match for this young man.

Whoever wants revenge for my son can do it themselves!

"Heh, the Frost Demon clan sure has a special way of begging for mercy."

"Did you all get special training for it?"

Ji Yun teased King Cold.

When Frieza had been on the verge of death, he had insisted on becoming Ji Yun's dog. Ji Yun had refused.

Now his father was begging for mercy too, offering him an entire star system.

Where had their dignity gone? Their backbone? Their principles as members of the Frost Demon clan?

"How do you know we're the Frost Demon clan?"

King Cold was utterly astonished.

Their clan was tiny, and no one in the universe knew what race they belonged to.

How could this young man know so much about them?

"I have no reason to explain myself to a dead man!"

Ji Yun shook his head slightly and looked at him coldly.

"Don't—"

Thud!

King Cold hadn't even finished speaking when Ji Yun's fist punched straight through his body.

King Cold's eyes were bloodshot, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

Ji Yun pulled out his fist.

He grabbed King Cold's body with one hand and hurled it high into the sky.

Ha!

Ji Yun casually fired a ki blast.

Boom!

A brilliant burst of fireworks lit up the sky.

King Cold's presence had vanished from Earth.

And just like that, another major crisis on Earth was brought to an end.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the system mission. Reward: Battle power doubled!"

The system's notification rang in Ji Yun's mind.

At the same time, the ki within his body surged explosively once more.

A faint smile crossed Ji Yun's lips.

"70 million base battle power. Nice!"

The others cheered excitedly.

They celebrated the end of the crisis.

Poor Vegeta, though. King Cold had shattered every bone in his body.

Whoosh!

Just as everyone was celebrating,

a strange aircraft suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

The aircraft slowly descended under their watchful gazes.

Its hatch opened from above, revealing a blue-haired boy.

He jumped down from the aircraft.

He looked around at the crowd, appearing utterly bewildered.

Then he slowly asked, "Where are Frieza and King Cold? They should have arrived on Earth!"

"Huh? Did you come to protect Earth too?"

"No need. Frieza died a long time ago, and Ji Yun took out King Cold too!"

Goku walked over, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said with a cheerful grin.

"What?!"

The boy's eyes filled with shock.

How was this possible? They should have just arrived at this point in time.

Then Goku would defeat them.

How had everything changed? And who was Ji Yun? There had never been anyone like him in the future!

"Also, wait, this person is... Uncle Goku?"

The boy stared at Goku in astonishment.

His confusion only deepened.

This made no sense. Goku wasn't supposed to be here at this point in time.

"Mr. Goku, can you transform into a Super Saiyan?"

The boy looked at Goku and asked slowly.

"Hm?" Goku was a little confused by the question. "What's a Super Saiyan? It sounds pretty impressive!"

The boy was completely stunned.

This wasn't the history he had experienced at all.

Why didn't Son Goku even know what a Super Saiyan was?

"Hey! Ji Yun, do you know what a Super Saiyan is?"

Goku shouted toward Ji Yun in the distance.

Ji Yun had already noticed what was happening over there. He leaped over.

Vegeta, lying on the ground, weakly opened his eyes and murmured, "Super... Saiyan?"

"Of course I know what a Super Saiyan is!"

Ji Yun said with a smile, carefully sizing up the boy.
