"The most gifted Saiyan warrior really is Prince Vegeta!" Carnegie exclaimed.
"Thank you again for saving us, Prince Vegeta!" Kuri bowed respectfully.
"Hmph, it was nothing. They were simply too weak!" Vegeta said coldly with a snort. Then he calmly ordered, "The rest is up to you! Let me make this clear: if anyone dies here, you can only blame your bad luck! Don't expect me to save you!"
As they spoke, Soya shot straight into the sky, soaring high above them.
Vegeta and the others were taken aback, unable to figure out what kind of stunt Soya was pulling.
Even the monsters gathered nearby looked up at the sky.
"Don't look at me!" Soya shouted, calling out to Vegeta and the others.
Vegeta: "????"
What did he mean, don't look at him?
Vegeta frowned.
Nappa was also a little bewildered. He couldn't help guessing, "Could that guy Soya be scared and trying to desert us?"
"Coward! I despise him!" Raditz snorted, his face full of contempt.
"That idiot. Where does he think he can run? That doesn't look like a place where a spaceship could land!" Carnegie said, puzzled.
"He'd be safer staying by Prince Vegeta's side than running off somewhere else!" Kuri shook his head, thinking Soya was an idiot.
"He even told us not to look at him! Is he trying to keep us from seeing where he's escaped to?" Nappa sneered. "Doesn't he know that with Scouters, we can find him no matter where he runs?"
"What an idiot!" Raditz said with deep contempt.
"Solar Flare!"
Without hesitation, Soya raised both hands beside his cheeks while hovering high in the sky.
In an instant, blinding light radiated outward from Soya's head.
Vegeta's pupils shrank, and his vision turned completely white.
Raditz, Nappa, Carnegie, and Kuri were also caught in the attack. Their vision blurred, and they couldn't see a thing.
"Negative Emotion Points from Vegeta +666!" "Negative Emotion Points from Nappa +888!" "Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Carnegie... "Negative Emotion Points from Sosiaralbotneki +666!" "Negative Emotion Points from Kurabotesorlulu +777!" "Negative Emotion Points from Ruerlalotejikesedapao +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Balabalabalakaluoli..."
Soya's expression stiffened, and he stared blankly.
The Negative Emotion Points from Vegeta and the others made sense.
But what the hell were those names afterward?
Were those the monsters' names?
Or could the monsters provide me with Negative Emotion Points too?
I see, I see!
In the Dragon Ball world, intelligent monsters could actually be considered humans.
Or, more accurately, humanoid beings!
From a god's perspective, the universe was divided into humans and gods, with animals making up the rest.
These monsters had clearly attacked Soya and the others in an organized, disciplined manner. It made sense to call them intelligent beings.
That meant they could provide Negative Emotion Points.
But ordinary animals couldn't provide Soya with Negative Emotion Points.
This Solar Flare had hit the entire group on the scene, including Vegeta's squad of over a hundred people. It had sent his Negative Emotion Points through the roof.
In less than three seconds, Soya had easily gained 100,000 Negative Emotion Points.
And the total was still climbing and refreshing nonstop.
Soya was thrilled.
To him, these were all solid increases to his battle power.
Could it get any better?
Also, Vegeta and the others...
Didn't I tell you not to look at me?
Why didn't you listen?
All that effort I'd put into studying the Solar Flare had really paid off when it mattered.
The Solar Flare was a technique Soya had developed through his own hard work and research.
Tien Shinhan was a real genius!
Using such a great technique at the most critical moment was just too satisfying.
The Solar Flare was a tremendously useful technique in the original story.
Even Cell, the great villain, had used it several times.
In fact, the last time he used it, Cell successfully absorbed Android 18 and achieved his perfect form.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Hovering high above, Soya fired an Energy Blast from his hand.
The Energy Blast hurtled toward the monsters below at tremendous speed.
"Rumble!"
Amid a series of explosions, the Energy Blast detonated among the monsters. Their flesh was torn open, and they let out cries of pain, their roars rising and falling.
"Negative Emotion Points from Sosiaralbotneki +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Kurabotesorlulu +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Ruerlalotejikesedapao +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Balabalabalakaluoli..."
Soya didn't kill them outright.
Wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to farm some more Negative Emotion Points?
That attack brought him another 100,000 Negative Emotion Points.
Coming to Planet Beast had definitely been the right choice.
Back when Soya had joined Bardock's combat squad to wage war on Planet Cereal, it hadn't been nearly this easy to farm Negative Emotion Points.
Soya calculated the time and realized that most of the monsters' vision was gradually returning.
"Don't look at me!" Soya shouted.
"Solar Flare!"
Soya didn't hold back. He raised both hands beside his cheeks again and unleashed another Solar Flare.
"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from Sosiaralbotneki +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from..."
The monsters below glared at Soya, their eyes bloodshot, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.
Could you stop being such a jerk?
We'd only just started to see again, and now we'd been hit by it a second time.
When he saw Raditz's name appear on the refreshed Negative Emotion Points list, Soya was speechless.
Hadn't I told you not to look at me?
The monsters couldn't understand, but how could you not get it either?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Soya fired another volley of Energy Blasts at the monsters.
"Rumble!"
The monsters howled as they were blasted.
The smell of roasting meat even filled the air.
Most of the monsters had lost their ability to fight. They lay on the ground in agony, shrieking miserably.
Only then did Soya leisurely descend from the sky, smiling as he clapped his hands.
That felt great, that felt great!
Seeing the many monsters still struggling, Soya calmly uttered three words: "Solar Flare!"
This time, however, Soya didn't actually release the Solar Flare. He was only saying it casually.
The monsters whose vision had just returned shut their eyes almost reflexively.
Even Raditz hurriedly covered his eyes.
What kind of fighting style is this?
Who fights like that?
You've hurt your own teammates too, you know?
"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +666!" "Negative Emotion Points from Sosiaralbotneki +999!" "Negative Emotion Points from..."
