The Destruction of Planet Vegeta!

"Frieza is terrifying..."

One of the Saiyans blurted out the words, only to be met with silence.

They had witnessed one of the strongest Saiyans reduced to ashes with their own eyes. The shock it had caused them was immense.

And that was before they had grown stronger.

Now, they felt it even more deeply.

Mu Chuan was no less affected. He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Dragon Ball World was. This was still the early stage, before the story reached its higher levels.

Even so, he didn't dare let his guard down.

Besides...

He had already sensed Frieza's deep-seated malice toward him. For now, Frieza was simply ignoring him, but once Planet Vegeta was destroyed, their situation would become extremely awkward.

"With my current battle power, becoming a Super Saiyan is impossible. That leaves only one way out..."

"Mastering the Perfect Great Ape Transformation!"

While increasing his base battle power, he also needed to master the Perfect Great Ape Transformation, which would increase his battle power tenfold from its original level.

That would let him survive in the universe!

He wouldn't be reduced to cannon fodder. Even with his current battle power of over two hundred thousand, and the boost from transforming with his skill, he could reach only about three hundred thousand at most.

That still wasn't nearly enough!

He couldn't face Frieza as an equal.

Besides, Frieza was only the early-stage boss. Even more terrifying enemies would appear later.

Some of them came from other dimensions.

If he didn't grow stronger soon, he might not survive in the Dragon Ball World.

As he worried over the situation...

Frieza let out a thunderous laugh and raised one hand slightly. A glimmer of purple light began to emerge from his fingertip.

Then it grew larger and larger!

Ripples spread through the universe.

Everyone felt a pressure unlike anything they had ever experienced.

The energy sphere continued to expand until it was larger than their spaceship, and it was still growing!

Everyone could feel the terrifying power contained within it!

The Saiyans stared up in horror as Frieza hurled out the world-destroying force.

The purple energy sphere shot straight toward Planet Vegeta.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho..."

"Be destroyed!"

"You wretched Saiyans!"

King Vegeta and Bardock had already been dealt with. There wasn't a single Saiyan left on Planet Vegeta who could stop Frieza.

All they could do was watch as the energy sphere crashed into the planet.

As the purple energy sphere entered Planet Vegeta, it sank into the planet completely, like a stone dropped into a cake.

In an instant!

Cracks appeared across the surface of Planet Vegeta and spread outward, quickly covering the entire planet.

At the same time, the energy wave instantly obliterated every Saiyan on Planet Vegeta, reducing them to ashes!

Then came a massive explosion.

Planet Vegeta was destroyed.

Frieza had seemed relatively calm at first, but as Planet Vegeta was destroyed, he suddenly felt a strange rush of excitement!

"Ha ha ha ha ha..."

"Look at that, Mr. Samo, Mr. Popolia!"

"What a beautiful firework!"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho..."

With Frieza's long, triumphant laugh, Planet Vegeta vanished completely into the universe, reduced to dust.

The planet that had once blazed with light was now lost in darkness.

The Frieza Force went wild.

Everyone laughed hysterically, as if they had witnessed something immensely amusing.

On the other side, the surviving Saiyans fell silent.

Mu Chuan had expected this, but after witnessing the destruction of Planet Vegeta with his own eyes, he still couldn't remain calm.

Because he knew...

At first, he had only had an ordinary starting point. But once Planet Vegeta was destroyed, he would officially be facing a hellish start!

Whatever he did, he could draw Frieza's suspicion. One wrong move, and Frieza might truly eliminate him.

A sense of urgency stirred within him.

The other evil Saiyans also fell into an eerie silence. They had finally seen what happened to those who were weak.

So many powerful Saiyans had transformed into Great Apes, multiplying their battle power tenfold.

Yet even then, they had been utterly helpless against the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza.

And...

With Planet Vegeta destroyed, they were truly homeless!

Like duckweed with no roots!

With this grim example right before them, they no longer knew what to do.

They all turned to their leader, Mu Chuan.

As if sensing their gaze, Mu Chuan spoke. "We're different from the Saiyans who were wiped out. We still have some value to Frieza!"

That was right!

Mu Chuan put it bluntly.

Value!

If they had no value, then there would be no reason for them to exist!

Especially under someone as suspicious as Frieza.

"King Vegeta and the others weren't wrong in what they did."

Mu Chuan spoke slowly. He knew he had to help the Saiyans following him understand the situation. Otherwise, they might lose all confidence and become no different from ordinary aliens.

He had no use for useless Saiyans!

The evil Saiyans stared at him in surprise. How could he dare say such a thing at a time like this? Wasn't that too bold?

And he was even saying that King Vegeta and the others hadn't been wrong!

But King Vegeta had been killed, and Planet Vegeta had been destroyed along with him. How could that not be a mistake?

"As Saiyans, a warrior race of the universe, we need to have our own pride and backbone. We must never submit easily!"

"But King Vegeta's mistake was acting recklessly before he understood the enemy's strength—and overestimating his own."

"If he had been strong enough to defeat the enemy, then his choice and actions would have been entirely right!"

"But victory decides who is king, and defeat makes you a rebel."

When Mu Chuan finished speaking, all the Saiyans behind him fell silent, understanding his meaning.

Mu Chuan wasn't worried they would betray him. There was nothing to gain from it. With Planet Vegeta destroyed, they were all the Saiyans left!

Frieza had destroyed Planet Vegeta without hesitation and already had a grudge against the Saiyans. If they didn't stick together now, they would die even faster!

The Saiyans present were sensible enough not to do something so foolish. And because everyone had been focused on Planet Vegeta's destruction a moment earlier, no one had paid them any attention.

That had given them a chance to talk openly, right under everyone's noses!
