"Is this the Eternal Dragon?" Everyone present felt incomparably shocked.
"Damn it, he actually summoned the Eternal Dragon!" Salza cursed under his breath, his expression grim.
Once Lord Cooler arrived and discovered the Dragon Balls had already been used, he would undoubtedly be filled with boundless rage.
Salza and his two companions would also be branded as incompetent; Cooler was notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless, and might even execute them on the spot.
"Captain Ginyu, what do we do?" Guldo's skin was trembling.
Frieza was no easier to deal with than Cooler. If this situation wasn't handled well, the Ginyu Force would cease to exist in this world.
Ginyu turned to meet Salza's gaze. Both captains gritted their teeth and said, "We have to fight. We absolutely cannot let Slug have his wish!"
The two teams were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope; only by casting aside their past grievances could they grasp a glimmer of hope for survival.
What they didn't know was that once the Eternal Dragon was summoned, even if no wish was made, it would require a one-year cooldown before it could be used again.
"Is he really that scary? The scouter shows Slug's combat power is only 100,000."
Burter was somewhat unconvinced. Although this combat power was higher than his own, he had absolute confidence in his speed.
Recoome looked at the numbers on the screen and said indifferently, "If we of the Ginyu Force attack together, we are guaranteed to take him down."
"Idiots, two idiots who belong in a museum!" Ginyu pointed at their noses and cursed.
"Slug is clearly capable of controlling his combat power. He has lived for over five hundred years, and his body is already decrepit."
"If he can maintain a combat power of 100,000 on the surface, you can imagine just how terrifying he truly is!"
"I've told you time and again, don't trust the values on the scouters too much! Sooner or later, it will be the death of you!"
If a major battle weren't imminent, Ginyu would have wanted to finish them off himself.
Salza didn't have time for mockery and roared, "Attack together! Don't use energy blasts; it will harm the Eternal Dragon. Lure Slug somewhere else first."
The three members of the Cooler Armored Squadron, the five members of the Ginyu Force, plus Dodoria and Zarbon—ten powerful warriors instantly took to the sky.
The ten figures were like ten roaring dragons. Wherever they passed, even the air distorted violently, their terrifying momentum enough to crush everything in their path.
"Annoying insects."
Slug hadn't even had the chance to make his wish before being interrupted, and he was very displeased.
He was also afraid of the Eternal Dragon being harmed, so he turned his head slowly, a cold arc pulling at the corners of his mouth.
"Ha!"
Zarbon transformed into his ugly second form right away, his muscles swelling and his combat power increasing significantly.
"Time freeze!"
Guldo extended his hands, his four eyes widening abruptly as he held his breath. Everything around them instantly stilled; not even a breeze could be felt.
Slug stood motionless, as if he had been put under a spell.
"Excellent, let's attack!"
Zarbon and Dodoria moved from above and below, attacking Slug's heart and head respectively, hoping to win with a single blow.
The next second, both felt a sharp pain in their chests. Two withered, massive hands had pierced through their torsos, and blood sprayed from their backs.
"You... you weren't frozen?"
Slug pulled his hands back, and Dodoria and Zarbon collapsed straight to the ground, their lives completely extinguished.
"Impossible! My ultimate technique has never failed!" Guldo screamed in terror, unable to stop himself from retreating.
"Pfft!"
A dark red energy beam shot from Slug's fingertip, precisely piercing the center of Guldo's forehead.
Before the expression of terror on his face could fade, his body went limp and hit the ground.
"Red Magma Jeice! Blue Hurricane Burter!"
Two red and blue figures wove around Slug at incredible speeds, attempting to find a weakness.
Slug remained standing in place, his two arms stretching several times their length like soaring dragons. His massive hands blotted out the sky as they reached into the air.
As Jeice and Burter moved at high speed, they were suddenly grabbed by the body, both letting out shrill, miserable screams.
"Crack, crack..."
With a squeeze from Slug, their bones were crushed. Finally, with a soft pop, they turned into a spray of flesh and blood that rained down.
"Eraser Gun!"
Recoome opened his mouth wide, and a massive pillar of purple energy, carrying the power to destroy a planet, erupted from his throat.
Seeing his former comrades-in-arms die miserably without any power to resist, he no longer cared about harming the Eternal Dragon and unleashed his strongest attack.
The purple pillar of energy illuminated half the sky, as if it were about to shatter Namek itself, and the air emitted a sharp, piercing screech.
Slug smiled, slowly extending his aged palm to block it.
The purple energy pillar recoiled violently, moving even faster than before, and drilled straight into Recoome's still-open mouth.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion tore the firmament apart. A scorching shockwave swept through the surroundings, blasting out a bottomless crater a hundred meters in diameter.
Recoome was vaporized instantly; not even a scrap of bone could be found.
In the blink of an eye, only Ginyu remained of the Ginyu Force.
The three members of the Cooler Armored Squadron and Ginyu immediately halted, their expressions so grave they could have dripped water.
"Are you not going to stop me?" Slug's aged, raspy voice echoed.
"I admit you are strong, but these Dragon Balls are coveted by Lord Frieza and Lord Cooler. They will be descending here momentarily," Ginyu said, forcing himself to speak.
He cursed inwardly. It was supposed to be a simple mission; why had it devolved into this situation?
"Are Frieza and Cooler strong?" Slug asked with a playful smile.
He had long known their identities. Over the past five hundred years, he and his legion had invaded many planets on the edge of the universe.
Frieza, Cooler, and their elite forces—all this intelligence was within his grasp.
But Slug didn't believe he would lose to them, especially with the Eternal Dragon right before his eyes. Once he regained his youth, his next step would be to rule the universe.
As for Frieza and Cooler, he would simply wipe them out himself.
"With your strength, of course you have nothing to fear," Salza said, having received a notification. If he could stall for just a little longer, Cooler would truly be here.
"The Eternal Dragon has three wishes. Why don't we split them? One for each of us. That way, Lord Frieza and Lord Cooler will both become your friends."
Salza had a clever plan; it didn't matter what he said anyway. As long as those two lords arrived, his mission would be considered complete.
"The universe only needs one master."
"I see the four of you have decent strength. Why not become my subordinates?" Slug had already begun considering his next moves.
To conquer the universe, he couldn't do everything himself, so he extended an invitation to the four of them.
"The scouters you are wearing can measure a person's combat power, right?"
"To show my sincerity, I will release my full combat power so you can see it for yourselves."
Slug stripped off his magic robe, and his terrifying aura materialized, surging toward the sky like a tsunami!
