Just then, another long-haired man walked toward Wang Yang, his face cold and expressionless.
At the sight of the gleaming weapon in his hand, Wang Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
This made no sense. How had I ended up on the death list too?
There was no time to think. The moment the incubation pod's glass cover opened, Wang Yang summoned the flight technique in his mind. With a whoosh, he shot into the air, evading the man's evil grasp.
"Oh? This little brat's no ordinary kid," the man said in surprise.
Hovering in midair, Wang Yang looked down at the scene below. The two Saiyans stared up at him in astonishment. Broly lay motionless on the ground, a savage wound across his tender chest, blood gushing out and staining the floor red.
The four of them—two adults and two children—were the only ones left in the room. The crybaby from earlier had disappeared.
At the sight, Wang Yang's face turned green.
You've got to be kidding me. You sent the crybaby away and left me behind? You really think that highly of me?
Death itself was beckoning him over.
Could he still make a run for it?
"Kafra, come down quickly. It's dangerous up there." The long-haired man put on what he thought was a kind expression and beckoned Wang Yang over.
Kafra was the Saiyan name Wang Yang had been given.
"..." Wang Yang rolled his eyes. He had only absorbed some of the knowledge in his mind, so he still couldn't understand everything. But judging from their sinister smiles, he could guess what they meant.
Wang Yang sneered. These two really thought he was a newborn baby. They were practically rubbing his intelligence into the dirt.
Wang Yang had a plan. He held out his little hands, and a ball of energy appeared in each one.
Take this!
The two dazzling spheres, packed with immense energy, shot toward the men's heads at tremendous speed.
Boom! Both energy spheres exploded at once. A deafening rumble shook the room, and several cracks appeared in the walls.
Without stopping to check on the two men, Wang Yang unleashed his energy. An invisible current of air enveloped him, and his tiny body traced a perfect arc through the air. He grabbed Broly from the ground, then flew toward the exit.
The first priority was to find a spaceship and get out of there. If he couldn't find one, Wang Yang glanced at the unconscious Broly in his arms.
"If our power levels weren't higher than yours, you little brat, you'd have gotten us this time," a cold voice came from the smoke.
Who would've thought a baby could be this precocious? Was this what the highest-level warriors were like?
As the smoke cleared, the two Saiyans emerged, covered in dust. When they realized Wang Yang had escaped with Broly, their expressions changed dramatically. They immediately powered up and gave chase.
"Hey, brat! You're not getting away!"
Wang Yang glanced back. Seeing the two of them steadily gaining on him, his expression changed.
Both men carried weapons, and their savage expressions were enough to make anyone shudder.
A fist-sized energy sphere gathered in Wang Yang's palm. After channeling a vast amount of energy into it, he suddenly hurled it behind him.
The blue sphere left Wang Yang's palm and rapidly swelled as it flew, filling the corridor. A thunderous explosion followed, nearly tearing the entire base apart.
"Damn it!"
The energy sphere exploded, and the two men behind him halted at once, bracing themselves against the blast.
When the smoke cleared, a huge opening had been left behind. There was a hole in the uppermost part of the base, with sunlight shining through it. Wang Yang and Broly were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are they?" The long-haired man looked around in every direction.
"I'm a bona fide Elite Warrior, and I still failed the mission?" The scar-faced man stared blankly, his tail drooping behind him.
If King Vegeta found out he'd botched the job, he'd be in for a beating.
"You idiot, use your Scouter! See where they're hiding!" The long-haired man refused to give up and activated the Scouter over his eye.
"Moron!" The scar-faced man shot his companion a cold, contemptuous glance.
"Shut up, you blockhead!" The long-haired man saw a jumble of readings on the Scouter—3188, 2988, 1788, 4112, 3889, 871... Power levels were appearing in every direction. He was dumbfounded. Which one was it?
A spaceship, a spaceship...
Once they'd flown out of the base, Wang Yang frantically looked around, muttering about spaceships.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. Wang Yang looked up and saw a black sphere covering the entire sky. It seemed to fall slowly, yet its speed was terrifying.
A tremendous pressure radiated from it. Even from far away, Wang Yang struggled to breathe. His already weak and exhausted body was pressed steadily toward the ground.
"So this is what a power level over five hundred thousand feels like. Truly terrifying." Wang Yang sat halfway on the ground, gasping for breath. His frail legs trembled as he stared at the energy sphere blotting out the sky and swallowed nervously.
If that thing landed, he'd be reduced to ashes.
Just then, a man with crab-like hair and a cross-shaped scar on his face shot into the sky, trying to stop the black sphere from falling. A blue Ki Blast streaked upward, but it still couldn't halt the sphere's descent. The man and his blast were swallowed up in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the black sphere plunged into the ground. After a brief silence, countless beams of light shot skyward, and dazzling flames spread across the entire sky.
"My good brother, you're my very best friend. Now let's see if you can pull through for me." Wang Yang shifted his backside and moved closer to Broly, gripping the boy's little hand tightly.
The wound on Broly's chest had already healed. Wang Yang could only marvel at it and envy him for a long while.
No wonder he's the Legendary Super Saiyan. The guy's practically indestructible.
Just then, the ground shattered, and gravity vanished. Wang Yang and Broly floated in the air as the oxygen around them dissipated. A suffocating feeling washed over him, and the temperature began to rise rapidly.
"Bro...ly..." A feeble voice sounded. Wang Yang then noticed a half-dead man on the ground, struggling to reach out and grab his small, frail leg.
I'm not Broly. Don't grab my leg. I'm tiny and fragile—what if you break it? Wang Yang kicked his little leg, trying to shake the man off, but his body was too weak to escape the man's grip.
Sensing danger, Broly suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ah!"
Broly cried out, and a green energy shield appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the three of them.
With a deafening boom, the entire planet of Vegeta was instantly annihilated in space.
Riding the shock wave from the planet's explosion, the green energy shield suddenly accelerated, streaking through the dark reaches of space and flying off into the vast universe.
The planet exploded, scattering into cosmic dust. After a long while, space finally fell quiet. Only then did Frieza activate his Scouter. Seeing that the reading for the spot where Planet Vegeta had once been was zero, he nodded in satisfaction.
