The Question-and-Answer Alien, A Powerful Enemy Descends Upon Earth!

Frieza Force Outpost.

This was the Frieza Force outpost closest to Earth, yet it was still far beyond the Solar System, not even within the galaxy as Earthlings understood it.

Though it was merely one of the Frieza Force's many outposts.

It was fully equipped nonetheless, capable of replenishing any supplies, and its troop deployment was sufficient to conquer most planets.

Beep beep!

Fresh information came in from the outpost personnel.

"A spacecraft has requested entry into the base. Scanning in progress. The spacecraft has been identified as belonging to a Force member: Vegeta!"

"Scan complete. Entry authorized!"

"..."

The mechanical universal language of the universe rang out.

The technicians all fixed their eyes on the screen.

As they watched the spacecraft displayed there, their eyes held a trace of confusion. It did indeed contain the chip assigned to Vegeta, but its model seemed wrong.

Why would a single person use such a huge spacecraft?

Still, since the other party had already entered the base, they could not say much.

Vegeta was valued by Lord Frieza. Even if they disliked him, they did not dare actually do anything to him.

"There seem to be four life energies. Aren't there only three Saiyans left?"

"Could Vegeta be planning to rebel against Lord Frieza?"

"What a joke. He may have some skill, but rebelling against Lord Frieza is ridiculous. My guess is that he found Saiyans who escaped disaster somewhere and brought them in to join the Force?"

"That's probably it..."

"..."

Many veteran Force members watched with great interest.

They had taken part in the operation to wipe out Planet Vegeta, so they knew of the grudge between the Saiyans and Frieza. Seeing Saiyans serving Lord Frieza now even struck them as amusing.

At this moment.

The spacecraft finally landed inside the base.

Its hatch opened, and four figures emerged. Three wore the Force's standard armor, while the other, with crab-like hair, wore an orange martial arts uniform.

At a glance, those clothes were clearly not something a warrior should wear. They instead looked like a rather outdated style.

Still, everyone could tell they were Saiyans.

Some who had participated in the battle to destroy Planet Vegeta even found the crab-haired one somewhat familiar. He looked very much like the man who had fought until the very end back then.

Yet the crab-haired Son Goku had no idea that some people found him familiar.

His eyes were wide as he looked around, taking in the many novel sights. The surroundings formed an enormous space, its walls built from dark-purple material and covered in radioactive crystal clusters. Under the shining lights stood all kinds of spacecraft.

The broad grounds were also filled with armored soldiers. They all looked different, but none of them were weak.

The technological atmosphere here clearly far surpassed Earth's development.

Even though Son Goku did not understand technological progress, he could still sense how advanced this place was.

"So this is that Frieza guy's base. It looks pretty impressive!"

Like a curious child entering a big city for the first time, his eyes were filled with innocent clarity, making Vegeta feel an inexplicable sense of humiliation.

Son Goku, on the other hand, did not care in the slightest. That was simply his pure nature, and he would never fall into the black hole of internal struggle.

"Tch. Don't forget why we're here, Kakarot!"

Seeing everyone looking at Goku and laughing as though he were some kind of ape, Vegeta finally could not endure it any longer and stepped off the spacecraft first.

"Well, if it isn't our Vegeta. I heard you went to some backwater planet and got defeated there?"

A mocking voice came from the distance.

The figures around them moved aside, and a purple-skinned man walked over, crossing his arms as he looked mockingly at Vegeta.

Vegeta turned his head toward him and sneered. "Hmph. What does that have to do with you?"

As he spoke, he headed directly in another direction.

Nappa and Raditz followed after him. They knew how formidable Cui was. That man usually competed with Vegeta, and they were no match for him.

Son Goku, meanwhile, still had no idea what was happening.

He remembered Gohan's reminder, so he took out his phone, raised it, and snapped a photo before posting it to his social feed.

Seeing Vegeta leave, Cui looked again at Son Goku, who had taken out his phone to take pictures, but first checked him with his scouter.

Beep beep beep!

Various readings rapidly flashed across his scouter before finally stopping at 8000.

Seeing that battle power, Cui's eyes immediately widened. "What? A battle power of 8000? What is going on with this Saiyan?"

Clearly, he didn't understand.

Why did Vegeta have a subordinate with this level of power?

An 8,000 power level would be considered an exceptionally outstanding warrior even within the Frieza Force!

Vegeta, who was walking ahead, heard Cui speaking and sneered. He had fought Kakarot along the way and knew that this kid's power level was definitely far beyond 8,000.

After all, a power level of 8,000 could never have beaten him up so badly.

"Hey, crab-haired kid, interested in becoming my subordinate?"

Seeing Vegeta pause, Cui's eyes shifted as he extended an olive branch to Son Goku. "I'm stronger than Vegeta. If you're willing to join me, I guarantee you'll receive better treatment than you would under Vegeta!"

Vegeta slightly turned his head, amusement in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Cui to be this stupid.

He actually wanted to recruit Kakarot. Not to mention that Kakarot's child was most likely a Super Saiyan, even Kakarot himself was extremely powerful. How did Cui dare say something like that?

Hearing Cui's recruitment offer, Son Goku smiled and said, "Doesn't joining the force mean working for Frieza? Does it matter who you follow?"

"Hey, hey, don't be so disrespectful. Remember to use an honorific when addressing King Frieza."

Cui first told Son Goku to use an honorific, then explained, "Of course. Although Lord Frieza is benevolent, he still distinguishes between his subordinates. Following Vegeta definitely won't be as good as working under me!"

"Then can I meet Frieza if I follow you?"

"I told you to use an honorific. If you really want to meet King Frieza, you need to understand proper etiquette. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare take you to meet King Frieza."

"Oh, oh, King Frieza... then if I follow you, when can I meet him?"

"What a pity. King Frieza personally went to Planet Namek this time. If you want to meet him, you'll have to wait until he returns!"

As Cui said this, he deliberately glanced at Vegeta, clearly provoking him.

"Idiot!"

Vegeta merely sneered at Cui.

He then continued walking forward. Even though he had learned Frieza's whereabouts, since they had already come here, they naturally still needed to upgrade their equipment.

After all, a great battle awaited them.

After getting the information, Son Goku said, "Oh, oh, thank you."

After saying that, he followed after Vegeta, leaving Cui utterly baffled. If you weren't going to become my subordinate, what were you thanking me for?

Earth, Mount Paozu.

After sensing five auras approaching Earth, Son Gohan quickly ended his training and prepared to face the enemy alongside Piccolo.

"Five auras? You mean Frieza came to Earth first?"

Piccolo looked up at the sky, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Son Gohan gently shook his head and said, "Those auras aren't that strong. They probably aren't Frieza. They might be other people he sent."

Piccolo frowned, doubt filling his heart.

Son Gohan took out his phone, intending to notify Yamcha and the others, only to see his father's profile picture appear on his social feed.

The moment he opened it, he saw a picture brimming with futuristic technology. Every facility in it resembled those of the Frieza Force.

There was text beneath the picture.

[Just arrived at the destination. As expected of a cosmic-level power—the place looks even more advanced than Bulma's!]

Krillin, Yamcha, and the others had already liked the post.

The warriors' comments were also displayed below.

Krillin (Protect Earth): Bro, that's someone else's territory. You need to be careful!

Tien Shinhan (Orthodox Heir of the Crane School): So? Where did Frieza go?

Bulma (Universe's Number One Beauty): Goku, if you don't know how to talk, then don't talk!

Son Goku replied to Tien Shinhan (Orthodox Heir of the Crane School): I already found out. He went to Planet Namek!

Seeing the reply on the social feed, Son Gohan slightly raised his head. He had already determined exactly who the five approaching auras belonged to!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five blazing streaks of light rapidly fell from the horizon.

A massive evil aura began to spread, alerting powerful fighters across Earth. A new battle was about to begin!
