The Day the Earth Was Destroyed

Son Gohan lay slumped over his desk, his attention not on his textbooks, but on the Chat Group.

Lu Bian had shared what he encountered in the Chat Group, and while different people had different reactions, the discussion ultimately ended with Lu Bian backing down.

Erlang Shen... three eyes, just like Uncle Tien Shinhan.

Brother Lu Bian is also a bit like Uncle Krillin.

Gohan felt that Lu Bian and Krillin shared similar personalities.

A bit cowardly.

"Hm?!"

Gohan suddenly raised his head; he sensed a ki.

An incredibly powerful ki!!

It was coming from outside the Earth!

"Ring, ring--!!!"

Gohan hurried to pick up the phone.

It was Uncle Krillin calling.

"Gohan, did you feel it? Such a strong ki!" Krillin's tone was frantic.

"Yes, it doesn't give me a good feeling... really, and it's gradually approaching Earth..." Gohan said.

"This ki..."

"Gohan, you must have realized it by now, right? Is it, is it that guy Frieza?!"

"This is truly terrible," Krillin said over the phone.

Mecha Frieza, along with his father King Cold, had their spaceship approaching Earth at this very moment.

The warriors on Earth felt the powerful ki of Frieza and his father almost simultaneously.

"Ho, how could this happen!!" This was Piccolo, training on the highlands; he could sense that besides Frieza, another formidable enemy was approaching Earth.

In West City, in the courtyard of Bulma's house, Vegeta's expression was grave, his fists clenched tight. "Tch! That guy Kakarot, didn't he finish that bastard off!"

Yamcha: "This ki, is it really that guy Frieza?"

Bulma: "What's wrong with you guys? What are you talking about?"

Vegeta glanced at Bulma and said, "Earth is finished."

Without even changing into his combat suit, Vegeta shot into the sky, flying toward the place where Frieza's spaceship would likely land.

On the other side at Mount Paozu, Gohan was changing into his combat suit.

"This is bad, this is bad, this is bad..."

Son Gohan: [It's bad, Frieza is here...]

Son Gohan: [I'm going to fight!]

Shi Tianwu: [Do you need my help? Just use the Life Swap function.]

Son Gohan: [...]

[Son Gohan has started a video chat]

"Gohan, where are you going?"

Gohan didn't answer his mother Chi-Chi; telling her would only make her worry more.

Gohan flared his ki and took flight, meeting up in the sky with Krillin, who had departed from Master Roshi's island.

"Why did something like this have to happen?"

"This is just awful," Krillin said to Gohan.

"King Cold, Lord Frieza, we are preparing to land on Earth now."

The disc-shaped spaceship pierced through Earth's atmosphere from space and landed on a desolate plain.

The hatch of the massive disc-shaped spaceship slowly opened, and Lord Frieza and his father, King Cold, stepped out, followed closely by the combatants of the Frieza Force.

"So this is Earth?"

"This planet isn't bad."

Lord Frieza smiled faintly, eyeing the surrounding Earth environment with a sidelong glance.

"Frieza, that Super Saiyan won't be back for another three hours. Do you want to wait for him?" King Cold asked.

"Father, of course I do."

"I want to kill everyone on Earth first, so he can regret it to his heart's content," Frieza said indifferently.

"Although there are quite a lot of people on Earth, three hours is more than enough time."

"Hahaha!" Frieza suddenly burst into laughter.

Thinking of the expression on that Saiyan's face when he saw the humans being wiped out, he couldn't help but grin.

"Serves them right!!!"

"Hmm." King Cold looked down at Frieza, surprised that the Super Saiyan had left such a deep impact on his son.

"The Earthlings are unimportant; what matters is the complete eradication of the Super Saiyan."

"The strongest in the universe must be one of our kin."

"With Father and me joining forces, we can definitely destroy him."

"Besides, I've grown stronger now; I can handle him all by myself," Frieza said, brimming with confidence.

"Listen up, you are absolutely not to fly over there," Vegeta instructed the others.

"We must approach stealthily on foot, otherwise their scouters will pick us up."

"And what if we do get close? That guy is an unbelievably strong monster, and there are two of them! How are we supposed to deal with them?!" Yamcha grimaced, cold sweat beading on his face.

"Do I have to say it again? Earth is finished," Vegeta laughed.

"So, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Piccolo asked Yamcha.

"Do whatever you want, but everyone here knows we have no way of dealing with this."

"Regardless, I am going."

Piccolo walked toward the location of Frieza's spaceship, and Gohan quickly followed behind.

The Earth's warriors and Frieza's group were separated by a cliff, but the distance between them was actually quite small.

"..."

Gohan was too nervous to speak. He broadcasted the situation live to the Chat Group, but he didn't interact with the other members.

Right now, what was happening to Son Gohan was far more serious than what was happening to Lu Bian.

"Gohan, listen to me."

"You don't need to be nervous right now."

"Your father, Son Goku, will arrive the moment the battle breaks out."

"Earth will not be destroyed by Frieza," Shi Tianwu said to Son Gohan.

"But you still need to be careful..." Lu Bian interjected, "When Frieza's pride is shattered, he will resort to underhanded tactics. Don't give him the chance to launch an attack on Earth."

"..."

Both Lu Bian and Shi Tianwu tacitly avoided mentioning Future Trunks.

The appearance of Future Trunks was not a certainty.

Piccolo walked in the lead, followed by Gohan, and then Vegeta... The warriors of Earth had not given up on resistance and were all closing in on Frieza and his men.

"Spread out and wipe out every single Earthling on this planet," Frieza commanded his subordinates.

"Yes, King Frieza!!"

Sensing the energy of Frieza's men beginning to disperse, Son Gohan could no longer hold back.

Having been told in advance by Shi Tianwu and Lu Bian that his father Kakarot would arrive in a moment of crisis, Gohan could rest easy and deal with Frieza's subordinates first.

"Haa!!"

Son Gohan suddenly lunged out, blasting several Frieza Force soldiers into ash with a single Masenko.

"Gohan! That was too reckless!" Piccolo shouted at him.

Gohan had exposed himself, and there was no turning back now.

Piccolo also dashed at high speed toward the Frieza Force soldiers, quickly striking them down.

"Ho ho, they've arrived quite quickly," Frieza watched as Piccolo and Gohan slaughtered his men, making no move to stop them immediately.
