Battle of Lava Planet (End)

BOOM!

The Energy Heavy Cannon aboard the Frieza Ship fired a powerful energy wave toward Lava Planet.

Lava Planet.

"Speak! Where is the Fountain of Youth Water?"

A man clad in a battle suit grabbed a Lava Planet soldier by the throat and demanded.

"I don't know!"

The soldier replied defiantly.

"Angila, if he doesn't know, dispose of him."

An elderly, green-skinned, bald man said to the one holding the Lava Planet soldier.

"Understood."

Angila said.

SPLAT!

As soon as he finished speaking, Angila punched through the soldier's vitals.

"My Lord, look at that!"

Another man in a battle suit looked up at the energy wave in the sky and said to the bald man.

"It's a Planet-Destroying Energy Wave fired from the ship's Energy Heavy Cannon. The Frieza Force is here, thinking they can wipe me out with a Planet-Destroying Energy Wave? In their dreams! SUPER-ENERGY-WAVE!"

The green-skinned bald man shouted.

He flew into the air, gathered all his energy into his hands, and fired a powerful energy wave at the incoming Planet-Destroying Energy Wave, attempting to push it back.

BOOM!

The two energy waves collided.

"HRAAAH!"

The green-skinned bald man exerted all his energy to push the Planet-Destroying Energy Wave back.

Outer space above Lava Planet.

"Evasive maneuvers, now!"

Gele watched the Planet-Destroying Energy Wave being pushed back and shouted in a panic.

Jero hurriedly steered the Frieza Ship to dodge the energy wave. A warship behind the Frieza Ship was struck directly and reduced to ashes, and the ships surrounding it were not spared either.

"Plan A has failed. Commander Gele, take two regiments and summon Guldo. We need to buy time for the Energy Heavy Cannon to fire a second shot."

Leige said to Gele.

"Understood."

Gele replied.

Once he finished speaking, Gele ordered his soldiers to relay the command.

Lava Planet.

"Huff... huff..."

The green-skinned bald man panted.

"Long live Lord Slug!"

Seeing the green-skinned bald man push the Planet-Destroying Energy Wave back into space, Angila shouted.

"Long live Lord Slug!"

"Long live Lord Slug!"

The soldiers of the Slug Army cheered as well.

"Shut up, all of you! Angila, take your men and continue searching for the Fountain of Youth Water. The rest of you, return to the ship. This Seat is going to slaughter every last member of the Frieza Force."

Slug said.

"Understood!"

The Slug Army soldiers shouted.

Afterward, Slug consumed a restorative energy potion and led his soldiers toward outer space.

"Prince Leige, Commander, a massive number of warships are heading our way."

A soldier looked at the warships appearing on the radar and reported to Gele.

"Prepare for battle!"

Gele ordered.

"Understood!"

The soldier replied.

Ten minutes later.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Slug Army and the Frieza Force's Fourth Legion engaged in a fierce space battle.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Leige operated the energy cannons on the warship, destroying one of the Slug Army's vessels.

"Who is that? Slug!"

Leige looked at the radar, spotting the elderly Namekian wearing a space combat suit.

Although Leige had been in the Frieza Force for less than two years, he had reviewed the files on the Frieza Force's enemies.

"Guldo, come with me. We're going to kill Slug together."

Leige said to Guldo, who was standing beside him.

"Prince Leige, Slug's combat power is too great. We are no match for him," Guldo said.

"Guldo, I know you have a technique called Time Freeze. As long as you use Time Freeze to restrain Slug, I am confident I can kill him. If we truly manage to kill Slug, my father will surely reward us handsomely. Guldo, fortune favors the bold!"

Leige said to Guldo.

"Alright, Prince Leige, let's go kill Slug!"

Guldo said.

Although Guldo had joined the Ginyu Force because of his time-manipulation technique, he had always been looked down upon by Burter, Recoome, Jeice, and Ginyu due to his low combat power. If he could use this opportunity to distinguish himself and leave the Ginyu Force, it would be for the best; after all, while he was at the bottom of the Ginyu Force, his combat power would still be enough to serve as a brigade or division commander elsewhere in the Frieza Force.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom!"

Wearing a space combat suit, Slug continuously fired energy blasts from his hands, destroying the Frieza Force's warships.

"Old man! Don't get cocky! Take this: Flame-Impact-Wave!"

Leige, also wearing a space combat suit, shouted at Slug.

After shouting, Leige controlled his combat power to fifty thousand and fired the Flame Impact Wave at Slug.

"Boom!"

Leige's Flame Impact Wave struck Slug, creating a cloud of smoke.

"Prince Leige, you are truly amazing. Your current combat power is probably catching up to Jeice and Burter," Guldo said.

"Run!"

Leige shouted.

Leige reached Guldo, grabbed his hand, and fled over a hundred meters backward. Not long after they escaped, Slug appeared.

"That brat, he can actually sense combat power. But in the end, you will all die by my hand," Slug said.

After speaking, Slug continued to pursue Leige and the others, destroying several annoying warships along the way.

"Guldo, use Time Freeze quickly, or we'll be killed by Slug sooner or later," Leige said to Guldo.

"Alright," Guldo said.

"Die!"

Slug looked at Leige and Guldo, who had stopped moving, and said.

As he spoke, Slug flew rapidly toward them.

"Time-Freeze!"

Guldo shouted.

As soon as Guldo shouted, Slug was restrained by a powerful force and unable to move.

"Damn it! What kind of cursed technique is this!"

Slug roared in anger.

"Die! Flame-Impact-Wave!"

Leige shouted as he looked at the immobilized Slug.

Leige finished his shout and fired a powerful energy wave toward Slug.

"BOOM!"

Leige's Flame Impact Wave struck Slug, kicking up a cloud of smoke.

"Guldo, don't drop the Time Freeze! Slug is still alive; my Flame Impact Wave isn't enough to kill him."

Leige said to Guldo.

Leige had kept his combat power suppressed at 50,000. With only 50,000, he couldn't possibly kill Slug, who possessed a combat power in the tens of millions. Guldo immediately halted his movement to release the Time Freeze.

"Legion Commander, is the Energy Heavy Cannon ready to fire?"

Leige asked Gele on the other end of the scouter.

"Prince Leige, the Energy Heavy Cannon is ready. Are you planning to use it to deal with Slug?"

Gele replied.

"That's right. Aim the Energy Heavy Cannon at Slug. Once Slug is dead, I can easily wipe out the Slug Army after transforming into a Great Ape."

Leige said.

"Understood. Target Slug, fire the Energy Heavy Cannon!"

Gele shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Upon hearing Gele's order, the soldiers operated the Energy Heavy Cannon, locked onto Slug, and fired the Planet-Destroying Energy Wave.

"BOOM!"

The Frieza Ship fired a powerful energy wave that engulfed Slug.

Slug never imagined, even in death, that he would be outmaneuvered by a Saiyan.

After the Planet-Destroying Energy Wave consumed Slug, Leige felt Slug's ki vanish. When the smoke cleared, Slug was nowhere to be seen.

"Guldo, you've performed a great service this time."

Leige said to Guldo.

"Our ability to eliminate Slug is all thanks to your strategy, Prince Leige. I dare not claim the credit."

Guldo replied.

"Prince Leige, Guldo, return quickly. We are heading to Lava Planet to root out the Slug Army once and for all!"

Gele said to Leige over the scouter.

Subsequently, Leige and Guldo returned to the Frieza Ship.

11:00.

The Frieza Force took three hours to eliminate the soldiers and officers of the Slug Army who refused to surrender. Originally, given the strength of the Fourth Legion, it should have taken at least six hours to wipe out the Slug Army. However, Leige, that crafty fox, had directly created an Artificial Moon. Facing Leige, whose combat power reached 500,000 (Leige had lowered his power to 50,000, so after a tenfold increase, it became 500,000), two-thirds of the Slug Army's soldiers and officers chose to surrender, while the remaining third were wiped out after three hours.

"Frieza Force, Twelfth Legion, 3rd Army, 2nd Division Commander, Leidore."

A red-skinned, red-haired man wearing a division commander's uniform saluted Gele and Leige.

"Frieza Force, Fourth Legion Commander, Gele."

Gele returned the salute.

"Division Commander Leidore, where is your Legion Commander?"

Gele asked Leidore.

"Reporting to you, sir, our Legion Commander was killed in action. Including those with light and heavy injuries, there are only thirty-some warriors left in the Twelfth Legion."
