Cooler and the Cooler Legion Attack

"Fighting a hard battle? Is someone invading us tomorrow, or are we invading someone else?"

Vegeta III still harbored, to some extent, the mindset of relying on plunder to survive.

Saigo glared at him fiercely. "Stop thinking about invading others! Isn't self-reliance better? If you want to become a Super Saiyan sooner, you had best discard the notion of plundering others as soon as possible!"

Vegeta III scratched his head, feeling slightly ashamed, only then remembering that Saigo loathed the idea of invading others, especially when hearing suggestions to order the conquest of other planets.

"According to my special ability, a Cooler Legion will invade our Planet Saiyan tomorrow. Their strength is not to be underestimated; their numbers alone reach hundreds of thousands! The leader is a member of the Frost Demon Race named Cooler, whose strength is incomparably tyrannical—far beyond that of Frieza or King Cold! You must not take this lightly!"

Seeing the grave expression on Saigo's face, Bardock and Vegeta III also turned solemn, especially upon hearing that the enemy's numbers reached hundreds of thousands.

To be able to command a legion of hundreds of thousands, the enemy's strength was clearly extraordinary.

It far exceeded Frieza and his forces!

Seeing them both silent, Saigo continued, "Continue to employ the Great Ape tactic tomorrow! Keep our losses to a minimum! Go and make the arrangements now!"

"Yes! This subordinate will arrange it immediately!" x2

Bardock and Vegeta III finally snapped out of their stupor and responded in unison.

"This subordinate takes his leave! Please rest early!"

Having experienced this twice before, Bardock and Vegeta III had deep faith in Saigo's precognitive abilities.

Yet, as the two departed, they appeared heavy-hearted; it seemed they had been truly shaken by the scale of the enemy.

Frieza's legion numbered only a little over a hundred thousand.

But the enemy they were about to face numbered in the hundreds of thousands; the two were simply not on the same level.

It would be a miracle if they weren't terrified!

In the pitch-black starry sky.

Cooler had also received intelligence collected by the Armored Squadron captain, Salza, regarding the tyrannical combat power erupting on Planet Vegeta.

"A combat power of 230 million? Hmph! I presume this is his base combat power; it is highly likely he possesses a special method to temporarily boost it to 800 million!"

"A mere 800 million in combat power—with my current strength, I could crush him with a single finger! Hmph!"

"I originally thought I could only reach 1 billion, but I never expected my talent to be so formidable; to improve this much in less than two months!"

"Salza, order the troops to advance at full speed. Tomorrow, I want to see every last one of those wild monkeys on Planet Vegeta dead!"

Cooler sat on his throne, his face full of disdain, issuing orders in a leisurely manner.

"Yes, Great King!" Salza, sporting yellow hair, placed his right hand over his left chest and departed to carry out the order.

"Hmph! Father always said that my foolish younger brother had the strongest talent in our race's history, but in my eyes, the one with the greatest talent is I, King Cooler!"

"It is better if they all die; that way, there will only be one emperor in the universe!"

Early the next morning.

After finishing his simulation and selecting his rewards, Saigo could not help but reveal a smug and somewhat sinister smile.

"I really want to see the look on Cooler's face once I use this reward! Hehehe~"

An hour and a half later, Cooler's massive fleet of large starships finally arrived in the outer space of Planet Saiyan.

"King Cooler, shall we land directly?"

"No! Captain Salza, order the entire fleet to fly around the planet once! First, shatter the courage of this group of stinking monkeys!"

"Yes, Great King!"

"Attention all units! Attention all units! All ships are to orbit the globe once before landing! All ships are to orbit the globe once before landing! Acknowledge if received! Acknowledge if received!"

"Unit 1, this is Unit 2, received! Unit 2, received! Over!"

"Unit 1, this is Unit 3, received! Unit 3, received! Over!"

"Unit 1, this is Unit 4, received! Unit 4, received! Over!"

"Unit 1, this is Unit 15, received! Unit 15, received! Over!"

Immediately following, 15 large starships formed a long arc, circling Planet Saiyan.

They completed a full orbit before finally beginning their descent through the atmosphere.

"Is this a show of force?" Standing on the roof of the royal palace, Saigo sensed the Cooler Legion circling the planet before landing and felt quite speechless.

He discovered that in this world, it wasn't just the Saiyans who liked to show off; anyone with even a shred of strength loved to grandstand!

If this were his previous life, they would undoubtedly be the kings of surfing!

Logically speaking, with the technological prowess of the Cooler Legion, there was no need to orbit the planet; they could have forced a landing without any issues.

Now that they had gone through the trouble of circling, one could guess why Cooler would do such a thing with their eyes closed.

A show of force and intimidation—it was both!

Just as the ships of the Cooler Legion breached the atmosphere, the twenty Saiyan Artificial Moon Squads on the ground sprang into action.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

In an instant, clusters of pure white energy spheres shot rapidly into the high sky. Following a series of muffled pops, each sphere suddenly expanded, forming bright orbs of light that illuminated the mid-air of Planet Saiyan in a spectacular display.

Regrettably, the Saiyans had no appreciation for the view; instead, they transformed one after another into towering, ferocious Great Apes and took flight toward the sky.

Simultaneously, every ship in the Cooler Legion detected the power levels of the transformed Saiyans, and the operations centers erupted into chaos.

"Trouble, Captain! The Saiyans have turned into Great Apes, their combat power has increased tenfold, and there are many with levels in the millions!"

"What? Are you certain?"

"This subordinate stakes his life on it!"

"How is that possible?! Since when are the Saiyans this formidable?!"

"Request instructions from the King and Captain Salza immediately—what should we do next?"

"Yes!"

"Number 1, Number 1, this is Number 6, this is Number 6..."

At the same time, the exact same scene was playing out on all the other ships.

Inside the flagship, Number 1.

Upon receiving the news, Cooler could no longer sit still; he stood up abruptly, his face etched with astonishment.

After a second or two of stunned silence, he demanded sharply, "There are dozens of combatants with power levels in the millions? Captain Salza, are you certain there is no error?"

"King Cooler, this subordinate has verified it multiple times. The detection equipment is not malfunctioning. It is not just our ship, Number 1; the other ships have detected the exact same results!" Salza was far from calm, his words spilling out in a rapid-fire pace. "My King, what shall we do?"

Having received a definitive answer, Cooler's expression grew even uglier, yet he did not lose his composure.

How could the combat power of these wild monkeys after their transformation be so high?

What on earth had happened here?

If he let his troops charge in like this, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses—that was absolutely out of the question!

These legions were forces he had cultivated with great difficulty; they could not simply perish here!

Wait, he remembered that these wild monkeys feared and revered the strong above all else!

Perhaps, he could try this!

Within a few breaths, Cooler reached a decision and issued his command immediately.

"Salza, order the troops to hold their positions. I shall go and meet these wild monkeys myself!"

"King Cooler!"

"Execute the order!"

"Yes! My King!"

"Attention all units! Attention all units! This is Number 1! This is Number 1..."
