Next, it's your turn

"Hmm." Li Lin's lips curled upward, and he nodded with a look of satisfaction. "As expected of Super Saiyan 2 power; truly impressive!"

At the same time, he silently marveled at the system within his heart.

He had merely glanced at the technique Frieza used and given it a fleeting thought.

He never expected that he would be able to deduce the method to execute that move directly!

He had countered it effortlessly, and with significantly greater power to boot!

Thinking of this, Li Lin felt a surge of excitement. He turned his head toward King Cold and said indifferently, "Next, it's your turn!"

King Cold felt a slight tightening in his chest, his pupils beginning to constrict.

That such a formidable person existed on Earth was something neither he nor Frieza had anticipated.

Now that this guy had turned his spear toward him, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

"Kid, don't get too cocky. I could achieve that same level of power myself!"

King Cold calmed his inner turmoil and spoke in a cold tone, feeling no anger over Frieza's death.

Although the two were father and son, he knew of Frieza's wild ambitions.

Frieza was unruly and arrogant; if his own strength hadn't been superior, he would have likely been usurped by him long ago.

He certainly wouldn't have been as respectful as he had been before!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone laced with doubt.

"Of course!"

King Cold said with a touch of confidence.

His combat power was indeed slightly higher than Frieza's.

Even if it was only a small margin, if Frieza were caught off guard, he could have achieved the exact same effect.

Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others were shocked upon hearing King Cold's words.

They had thought that with the appearance of Li Lin, their savior, they were safe and Earth's crisis would be averted.

They hadn't expected that this King Cold standing beside them would also be terrifyingly powerful.

And looking at him, he didn't seem to be lying!

Li Lin remained unimpressed.

These words might fool others, but they couldn't fool him.

He had come to the Dragon Ball World as a transmigrator, and he was quite familiar with the plot of this world.

This King Cold might truly be a bit stronger than Frieza.

But he was definitely not on the same level as him; after all, in the original plot, this guy was just someone who got taken down by Trunks in a single blow!

Seeing Li Lin remain silent, King Cold's expression began to grow smug.

He extended an olive branch, his tone filled with temptation. "Heh, it's rare to see a powerhouse as young as you."

"How about it? Are you interested in taking Frieza's place? I can take you as my foster son, and together, we can conquer this universe!"

Li Lin was momentarily stunned by King Cold's words, then blinked his eyes.

He had just been lost in thought for a moment, and he hadn't expected this guy to actually want to take him as a foster son. Wasn't that just wishful thinking?

He knew the plot, held a cheat code in his hands, and his current strength could be considered that of a powerhouse.

Why would he be foolish enough to become his foster son?

"I have absolutely no interest in being your foster son!" Li Lin curled his lip, his face showing utter disdain. He raised his finger and continued, "You'd better head to hell and find your real son instead!"

King Cold's expression turned ugly upon hearing Li Lin's mocking words.

However, before he could speak again, a light flashed at the tip of Li Lin's finger.

"Whoosh!"

A white energy beam, like a bullet, instantly pierced through his chest!

The powerful impact forced him to stagger back several steps, his unsteady footing causing him to collapse directly onto the ground.

"Ugh!"

King Cold clutched the pierced area, unable to stop a mouthful of blood from spraying out.

At the same time, his life force began to drain away rapidly!

"Hoh, you really are a bit stronger than Frieza. To have survived a hit from me and not be dead yet..."

Li Lin raised an eyebrow, speaking with a hint of surprise.

However, that trace of surprise vanished instantly as a white energy ball appeared in his hand.

It was the very same technique he had learned when Frieza attacked for the second time.

Beyond the difference in color, the energy contained within was also shockingly powerful!

Seeing Li Lin preparing to launch a second attack, King Cold was instantly struck with terror, repeatedly raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Wait, wait! You... you mustn't kill me. I'll leave Earth immediately. I promise I will never come to this galaxy again, I swear!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the energy sphere in Li Lin's hand was released.

"No!" King Cold screamed in despair.

Severely wounded, he was completely unable to dodge this attack.

He could only watch helplessly as he was engulfed by the white light!

"BOOM!"

The explosion resounded through the heavens, a wisp of blue smoke rose slowly, and the entire mountain range began to shake violently.

Huge boulders tumbled incessantly from the mountain peak!

After a long while, the aftermath of the explosion began to subside, and the scene gradually returned to calm.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, nothing remained of King Cold's massive body but a pile of black ash on the ground!
