The only ones left at the scene, besides Li Lin and the fighters on Earth, were the grunts Frieza and King Cold had brought with them.
Those grunts never could have imagined that the two most powerful kings in the universe would be reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.
After eliminating King Cold, Li Lin immediately turned his gaze toward the grunts.
"Ah, don't kill me! Please, don't kill me!"
One grunt seemed unable to bear Li Lin's gaze. He dropped to his knees in terror and began begging for mercy.
Seeing this, the others all fell to their knees as well, pleading for their lives.
For a while, the entire mountain was filled with their voices, mixed with the sound of their sobbing.
Li Lin couldn't help frowning slightly and slowly waved his hand.
He wasn't someone who enjoyed killing, and he hadn't taken these grunts seriously.
As long as they hadn't provoked him, there was no harm in letting them go!
At Li Lin's gesture, the grunts were immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
The grunts wiped away their tears and snot and thanked him again and again.
At the same time, they didn't dare delay. The crowd scrambled into the spaceship, each afraid of being the last one aboard!
"Rumble!"
The spaceship powered up and slowly rose into the sky.
Before long, it disappeared from Earth's skies and flew off into the depths of space!
Everyone on Earth stared with their mouths slightly agape.
Their eyes were filled with deep shock.
The crisis threatening Earth had been resolved by this complete stranger.
And he'd done it so swiftly and decisively, without any fuss.
He'd simply fired three Ki Blasts and taken care of Frieza and his father.
"V-Vegeta... What should we do now?"
Krillin looked at Vegeta beside him, swallowed, and spoke slowly.
Vegeta was the strongest among them, so naturally, they looked to him.
Now that this mysterious man had eliminated Frieza, they needed to ask what they should do next.
Vegeta was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
The crisis he'd dreaded had been casually resolved by this man.
He had no idea when someone so powerful had appeared on Earth.
The last time he'd come to Earth, this man hadn't shown up at all!
"I don't know!"
Vegeta thought for a long time before managing to say those three words.
Even he didn't know what to do now.
The man before them had helped eliminate Frieza and his father, but they knew nothing about him.
Until they could tell whether he was friend or foe, it was best to wait and see rather than approach him carelessly.
After all, this man could kill Frieza with a single attack. If they angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The others looked at one another, unsure what to say.
Even Vegeta had said he didn't know, and they didn't have the courage to go over and greet the man.
They still wanted to live a few more years; they didn't want to die without knowing why.
However, although they didn't want to provoke him, that was only what they wanted.
"Hi there! How are you all?"
Li Lin turned around, waved enthusiastically, and greeted them.
He looked just like someone who'd run into old friends, his expression sincere and excited.
After all, these were people he'd only ever seen in movies and anime.
Seeing them in person today naturally stirred up a little excitement in him.
He knew everyone present, but they didn't know him.
When he suddenly turned around, everyone jolted, their hair standing on end as they instinctively took two steps back.
"Ha-ha... hello."
Krillin leaned back slightly and gave a stiff wave.
If this had happened before, he would've approached Li Lin and started talking after seeing how friendly he seemed.
But they'd already been through too many shocks today. Ever since learning that Frieza was coming to Earth, they'd been under intense stress.
Even though Frieza had been eliminated, the sudden appearance of a stranger still made them nervous.
However, one person among them was different.
The moment she saw Li Lin's handsome face, her fear vanished.
In its place was a lovestruck expression, as if hearts had appeared in her eyes.
In her view, how could someone so handsome possibly be a bad person?
She cheerfully waved her little hand at Li Lin!
"Ah!" Seeing their strange expressions, Li Lin sighed helplessly, then smiled and nodded at Bulma!
He could understand how they felt. They'd just been through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
And with a powerful stranger suddenly appearing, they were bound to feel more frightened than delighted!
Just as he was about to continue talking,
a mysterious aircraft suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Oh? Is that Trunks?"
Li Lin looked up and murmured to himself.
The aircraft looked exactly like the one in his memories. If he wasn't mistaken, it was the Time Machine ridden by Future Trunks!
The mysterious aircraft's sudden arrival drew everyone's attention, and they all looked up.
The aircraft descended slowly and steadily, landing right in front of Li Lin!
"Click!"
The hatch on top of the aircraft slowly opened.
A blue-haired young man jumped out.
He wore a work uniform and had a long sword strapped to his back.
