Good heavens! Is Frieza really that brave? At this moment, Karochi was truly impressed; Frieza was nothing short of a warrior.

Before Planet Vegito was destroyed, during the time Frieza ruled over the Saiyans, he had been obsessed with finding the legend passed down through the race: the Super Saiyan!

His ancestor, Chilled, had clearly warned him: do not provoke the Super Saiyan! But what did Frieza do? He spent his time trying to track down that legendary warrior.

If King Vegito hadn't been constantly plotting to rebel against Frieza, Planet Vegito might still exist today; after all, the Saiyans' combat power of eight or ten thousand was hardly a threat. Of course, that assumes Beerus hadn't visited Planet Vegito.

As it turns out, now that he knows he can't find a Super Saiyan, he has set his sights on the Galactic Warriors instead.

The Galactic Warriors are the villains who appeared in the Dragon Ball movie: Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. The group consists of five members: Bojack, Bujin, Gokua, Bido, and the only female member, Zangya!

These individuals are far stronger than your average Super Saiyan. Let's compare them using the standard power unit of the late Dragon Ball Z era: Cell.

First, the leader of the Galactic Warriors, Bojack, possesses power comparable to Cell in his perfect form, with a combat power of no less than 6 billion! His subordinates also have power levels rivaling Cell's second form, fluctuating around 2 billion. Working together, they once suppressed Son Gohan, who was in his full-power Super Saiyan state without the intent to kill, which goes to show just how formidable they are.

What was Frieza's combat power again? 120 million at 100% power! Where did he get the guts to go toe-to-toe with the Galactic Warriors? Is this just the fearlessness of a newborn Frost Demon!? Karochi silently gave the Great Lord a thumbs-up in his heart and shouted, "Badass!"

"The Galactic Warriors they asked about are just a legend passed down on our planet! I never imagined it would bring such a catastrophe upon us!!" Porto said, his expression miserable and his tone desolate.

It felt as if a rumor of unknown origin had appeared in their circle, and suddenly, a group of mob bosses showed up demanding answers. What were they supposed to do?

Ugh! Karochi understood. After all, didn't Frieza rule Planet Vegito because of the Super Saiyan legend? He didn't even know what a Super Saiyan looked like.

It was unexpected that Frieza would retain such intense curiosity; it's a pity he didn't become a scientist! Instead, he went into the cosmic real estate business—a bit of a detour.

Karochi silently labeled Frieza in his mind.

"Little Chi, be careful, they've regrouped!!" Tights' voice came through; she had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Ginyu Force.

Karochi sensed the opponent's energy; the ki of Jeice and Burter was no longer moving!!

"Um, Mr. Porto! What are your plans for after this?" Karochi asked, operating on the principle of saving whoever he could.

Porto looked lost. Their Fidelian race had been nearly wiped out! He had no idea what to do from here.

"Do you have any spaceships? The Ginyu Force isn't just the two you saw earlier! There are three more members. There will likely be a big battle soon! Mr. Porto, you had better gather your people and leave this planet as soon as possible. It will also preserve a spark for your race." Karochi could clearly sense that the Fidelians still had a strong desire to survive.

Porto's eyes lit up with hope, and he said excitedly, "Yes, yes, we have intact spaceships we can use."

As a race with maxed-out technology, spaceships were practically a household necessity for them.

"Then please contact your kin as soon as possible. The enemy could arrive at any moment!" Karochi urged, keeping an eye on the Ginyu Force's movements.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, My Lord. May I ask for your honorable name? If my Fidelian race manages to escape, we will surely pass down your deeds to future generations!!!" Porto's face flushed red; he never expected this young powerhouse to help them so much.

Karochi looked at that look of adoration and felt a small pang of guilt! After all, his arrival might have been what provoked the Ginyu Force to kill their hundreds of thousands of clansmen.

Of course, even if Karochi hadn't come, the result wouldn't have been much different; working for Frieza didn't come with benefits or human rights!

"Mr. Porto, you're too kind. Just call me Karochi, no need for all that!!" Ah, will I end up in their history books too? That's great. Karochi was polite on the surface, but feeling quite pleased inside.

"So it is Lord Karochi!!!"

"Um, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with, Mr. Porto!" Karochi scratched his head; he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit to this planet.

Porto didn't mind at all. As long as it helped his people survive, nothing was a problem: "Lord Karochi, just say it. Anything is fine."

"Mr. Porto, just call me Karochi. I'd like to borrow some fuel for my spaceship! To be honest, I only stopped on this planet because my ship was running low on fuel."

The word 'borrow' was well-chosen, as Karochi didn't have any universal currency, so he could only borrow!

Porto quickly replied, "Lord Karochi, what are you saying? Come with me!!"

Porto gave instructions to his companion, signaling him to gather the clansmen, while he led the way for Karochi.

Hmm, so you're just going to turn a deaf ear to me telling you to call me by my name, huh!!? Forget it, Karochi decided not to dwell on it.

He followed him to a massive semi-circular building, which had also been blown to pieces.

Following Porto inside, he saw him pull out five cylindrical, glass-like tubes, filled with a cyan-blue liquid!

"Lord Karochi, I wonder if these will work or if they are enough!" Porto was a bit embarrassed, as he hadn't seen what powered Karochi's ship and could only provide the standard fuel used in the galaxy.

Oh, this! Karochi really didn't know if it would work; he truly couldn't make heads or tails of this stuff.

"Little Chi, this fuel can be used! It's much purer than what we used to get here." And there are five whole barrels, this is great! Tights was very happy that the energy problem was finally solved! And there was no need to worry about running out of fuel later.

After hearing this, Karochi informed Porto and stored them away in a Capsule.

Porto was stunned! Space folding technology? This was a hurdle that even the Fidelian race hadn't managed to overcome. If time hadn't been so tight, he would have loved to grab Karochi and ask who invented this technology.

Hmm? Karochi's expression changed abruptly the moment he finished storing the fuel.

"Lord Karochi, is something wrong?" Porto asked cautiously.

"Not exactly, it's just that the Ginyu Force is here." Karochi gave a bitter smile. The ki of the three Ginyu members had started moving, and they were fast; they would arrive in less than half an hour.

Porto became instantly tense, fear gripping him and making his breathing shallow.

"Then... what should we do? Lord Karochi?" Porto asked nervously. It would take his people at least 50 minutes to evacuate.

Karochi fell into deep thought. First of all, the battlefield definitely couldn't be here, or he wouldn't be able to protect the Fidelians!

Ginyu's combat power was likely higher than his own, not to mention Jeice and Burter! Although he had gained superpowers, Karochi was certain he couldn't seal the movements of all three of them instantly.

"Hmm, here is the plan: you evacuate as quickly as possible, and I will go intercept them halfway!" Karochi suggested. It was the safest method for now.

Porto was overwhelmed with excitement; he never expected the young man before him to help them to this extent! It was an unexpected blessing.

They hurriedly knelt to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Karochi! We shall erect a statue in your honor and worship it every single day!!!"

Huh? A statue? That's unnecessary, it's too risky!

Karochi waved his hands in a flurry to refuse; he was still just a child and truly couldn't handle such a burden.

After giving them a few instructions, Karochi took flight and left. If he didn't go to intercept Ginyu now, the man would be upon them soon.

"Little Chi, you can actually come back now," Tights said, sounding somewhat conflicted. Compared to the Fidelians, Karochi was clearly more important to her.

She could tell, to some extent, how perilous this battle would be, and she didn't really want Karochi to put himself in harm's way.

Hmm? That wouldn't be right, would it!? As the saying goes, if you take someone's money, you must resolve their troubles. Running away now would be a bit immoral, so he replied, "Don't worry, Sister Tights, I won't push myself too hard! Besides, my odds of winning are quite high. With psychic powers for support and Senzu Beans for healing, the advantage is mine."

Karochi wasn't actually boasting. While fighting Ginyu would be stressful, it wouldn't be overwhelming!

Especially now that he had acquired Guldo's psychic powers; he could hit Ginyu with them and take him out in one go! His chances of winning were quite good. Furthermore, Karochi genuinely wanted to have a real fight against an opponent of similar strength; the previous encounters with Guldo and Recoome didn't even count as battles.

Hmm, he just had to be wary of that old schemer Ginyu, who might covet his body.

"Alright then, I won't try to persuade you anymore! Just be sure to look after your own safety. Since that Guldo had psychic powers, the remaining three might also possess strange abilities we don't know about!! Keep a close eye out," Tights said, finally relenting.

Huh? Sister Tights, have you seen the plot too? Karochi silently teased in his mind.

He gave a soft "mm" in response and then went silent. Ginyu's energy was drawing closer; that evil, twisted aura always made one feel exceptionally nauseated.

There was also a sense of dissonance, because Ginyu possessed the unique technique [Body Swap], so what his original body looked like had long since been forgotten.

To be fair, Karochi was a little bit curious!! But it was only curiosity; he wouldn't expose the fact that he already knew about Ginyu's special technique just for the sake of it, as he was planning to ambush him.

About ten minutes later, Karochi came to a sudden halt in mid-air!! Directly opposite him were Ginyu, Jeice, and Burter! A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
