Faced with Broly's formidable strength, Vegeta's arrogance flared up again. Regardless of why he had never seen these two individuals before, he gritted his teeth and abruptly pulled back his fist.

"Da-da-da!"

Vegeta thrust his palms forward repeatedly, firing a barrage of energy blasts like a machine gun, all aimed squarely at Broly's face.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The energy blasts struck Broly squarely, and in an instant, the cave was shrouded in a thick, blinding cloud of dust, with debris falling from the ceiling amidst the shockwaves.

Vegeta did not stop there; his energy continued to surge as he prepared his most powerful technique, ready to unleash it at any moment.

"Fri... day..."

However, as Vegeta's energy continued to climb, the cave began to show signs that it could no longer withstand the pressure, appearing on the verge of collapse.

"Prince Vegeta! Stop!"

"The place is collapsing! Everyone, run!"

The Saiyans below screamed in terror as giant rocks rained down, scattering in a desperate attempt to flee.

But just then, Broly emerged from the cloud of dust completely unscathed and slammed a fist into the stomach of the still-charging Vegeta.

Vegeta's Friday Cannon was instantly cut off, and with a loud retch, he vomited bile and plummeted toward the ground.

Broly, his face cold, was about to pursue when Lin Chen's voice rang out.

"That's enough, Broly. They seem to be our own people."

As Vegeta fell, the crumbling cave finally returned to a state of calm.

A group of young Saiyans nervously ran toward the fallen Vegeta. One young Saiyan with hair reaching down to his waist helped the immobile Vegeta up, asking anxiously, "Prince Vegeta, are you alright?"

"Get... get away, Raditz. I am Vegeta, I... ugh!"

Vegeta couldn't hold it back and began to vomit again.

"What is going on with you all? Why are you here?"

Lin Chen floated down to the ground with Broly and asked the group of brats.

Faced with Broly, who had defeated Vegeta with a single punch, the children shrank back, overcome by instinctive fear.

Even Raditz was trembling at the knees.

As for Vegeta, he was still unable to move.

"And who are you? Are you accomplices of Turles?"

Among all the terrified Saiyans, only one female Saiyan stood her ground, facing Lin Chen and Broly directly.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow at the name she mentioned.

Turles?

He remembered that this was a Saiyan from the original theatrical films, right?

In the original story, this Saiyan had left Planet Vegeta long ago to form his own mercenary army.

Relying on seeds of the Fruit of the Tree of Might found somewhere, they traveled the universe, planting the trees on suitable planets and harvesting the fruit to continuously increase their strength.

Could it be that the desolate state of Planet Vegeta was caused by the Tree of Might?

And was that terrifying energy from earlier the aura of the Tree of Might?

If so, everything made sense.

"Me? My name is King Links."

"King Links?"

Hearing this name, the Saiyans present were visibly shocked.

King Links—this was a name that had already become legendary on Planet Vegeta!

"King Links? Are you really King Links?" the female Saiyan asked, sounding somewhat emotional. "You... haven't you been missing for five years?"

"I have returned."

The fusion of the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline had altered Lin Chen's appearance slightly from what it once was.

Had it not been for those who knew him well, it would indeed have been difficult to recognize him.

Seeing Lin Chen nod, the female Saiyan's expression shifted. The next moment, she threw herself into Lin Chen's arms and began to sob, leaving Lin Chen and Broly to exchange bewildered glances.

"Your Majesty King Links, you've finally returned! Thank goodness! If you hadn't come back, Planet Vegeta would have been destroyed!"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then patted her back to comfort her. "Stop crying! Tell me exactly what is happening on Planet Vegeta."

"Okay, okay..."

The female Saiyan stopped crying and began to explain to Lin Chen what had transpired on Planet Vegeta.

As it turned out, just as Lin Chen had suspected, the situation was indeed related to the rogue Saiyan Turles.

Ever since the Dragon Balls had transported Planet Vegeta to the edge of the universe, the Saiyans on the planet had begun a new life under the leadership of King Vegeta.

Conquest was no longer their way of life; the Saiyans' primary daily activity now was training on the planet, waiting for the return of their true king, King Links, after five years.

Five years flashed by in the blink of an eye, and most Saiyans had gradually grown accustomed to the routine of training.

Yet, unexpectedly, a spaceship shattered the tranquility of Planet Vegeta at this very moment.

The owner of this vessel was none other than the former traitor of the Saiyan race, the low-class warrior Turles.

Come to think of it, Turles's history bore a striking resemblance to Lin Chen's.

Also a low-class warrior, he had suddenly murdered his own teammates after heading out on a mission, only to vanish without a trace.

Who would have thought that years later, upon his reappearance, he would have become incomparably powerful.

Under his command stood the Turles Force, composed of five alien warriors whose strength was equally formidable.

Upon descending onto Planet Vegeta, Turles immediately displayed overwhelming power, effortlessly defeating King Vegeta; even Bardock, who had become the strongest fighter on the planet, was no match for him.

After easily defeating them, Turles proclaimed himself the new King of the Saiyans and planted the mysterious seed known as the Tree of Might in the royal capital.

According to Turles, the Tree of Might was a mysterious plant capable of absorbing a planet's life force to bear fruit known as the Fruit of the Tree of Might.

This fruit could drastically increase the combat power of whoever consumed it.

After defeating King Vegeta, Turles used this fruit as bait to lure a group of Saiyans into pledging their loyalty to him.

At this moment, these people were gathered in the royal capital, waiting for the Fruit of the Tree of Might to ripen.

"Your Majesty Lynx, King Vegeta and the other Saiyans who haven't betrayed us are currently assembling around the royal capital, planning to prevent the fruit from ripening. Lord Bardock says that as long as we destroy the Tree of Might before the fruit is harvested, Planet Vegeta can be restored to life."

"Since we can't be of much help, we were ordered to look after these children. King Vegeta said that if they fail, these children will be the last seeds of the Saiyan race."

Listening to the female Saiyan, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth curled slightly. He hadn't expected that because he had wished to relocate Planet Vegeta, the Turles Force would accidentally stumble upon it.

He remembered that in the original story, Turles and his crew had spent their time avoiding the Frieza Force while searching for planets in remote galaxies where they could plant the Tree of Might.

It was unexpected that this time, they had blundered into the hidden Planet Vegeta by pure coincidence.

This was truly a twist of fate.
