Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under King Cold's pressure, hundreds of soldiers charged at the blonde girl all at once! They let out frantic shouts to bolster their courage!
A power level of zero was an illusion, a lie, something impossible. Combined with King Cold's earlier reaction, they had no choice. Terrified, they charged toward the blonde girl.
The blonde girl's delicate face was filled with disgust and contempt. She raised her right hand, gathering a Destructo Disc.
Whoosh!
Before King Cold could even prepare to run, the hundreds of soldiers he had brought were all slaughtered by the blonde girl's Destructo Disc in the span of a breath. Severed limbs and corpses scattered everywhere, every pair of eyes wide open in death! Purple blood soaked the ground!
The Destructo Disc in the blonde girl's hand dissipated. She was graceful and composed; even surrounded by hundreds of mangled corpses, she remained utterly calm. Her bright blue eyes stared at King Cold.
"Why was there such a terrifying monster in a place this remote?!"
Although the Scouter had not detected the blonde girl's energy, that inexplicable sense of pressure reminded him of a terrifying being from legend—one he had seen with his own eyes. The pressure felt exactly the same!
"What's wrong? Why was the mighty Supreme King of the Universe, King Cold, acting like a frightened rabbit?"
The blonde girl lightly brushed back her bangs. Her blue eyes stared deeply at King Cold without the slightest trace of emotion. She used Energy Control to manipulate the severed limbs and corpses, then covered them with a ki blast. The bodies turned to ash and vanished completely!
"What?"
Son Wuling, Son Gohan, Videl, Piccolo, Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, and the others sensed the energy of hundreds of lives vanish in an instant.
"What happened? Could it have been Trunks?"
Son Wuling muttered inwardly, accelerating several degrees. Son Gohan and Videl paused briefly before immediately following him!
When they saw where the spaceship had landed, Son Wuling happened to witness the blonde girl reducing the bodies to ash with a ki blast!
"How could this be... It was actually..."
Number 18 nearly slipped from Son Wuling's lips. He had considered Trunks, Son Gohan, and many others, but he had never imagined it would be Number 18!
Android 18 had pretty short golden hair and blue eyes. Aside from her slightly longer hair, this blonde girl looked as though she had been cast from the exact same mold as the Number 18 who would appear later.
"No, that's not right. Maybe she was Marron, the daughter of the future Krillin and Number 18... Maybe?"
Son Wuling found it hard to believe. At the same time, he could not help feeling speechless about Krillin. Even after marrying Number 18, he had actually named his daughter after his ex-girlfriend. How could that ex possibly compare to Number 18?
Son Wuling compared Krillin's former girlfriend, Marron, with Number 18. Number 18 completely outclassed her in every regard, yet after getting married, Krillin still could not let go of her!
However, Son Wuling had not seen Krillin's former girlfriend since then. He did not know whether it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Krillin and that former female captain of the Red Ribbon Army had something going on!
Son Wuling shook his head. No, forget Krillin and Number 18's daughter. When she was little, she was practically a mini Krillin with golden hair. Could this blonde girl before him actually be Number 18 herself?
"Dad..."
At that moment, the blonde girl sensed Son Wuling's energy and blurted it out instinctively! Her cheeks flushed, giving her the shy look of a young girl. Her trembling blue eyes became lively as well, but Son Wuling was too far away to hear her.
King Cold, however, heard it clearly!
"Dad?"
King Cold did not think the blonde girl was calling him. He looked around and spotted Son Wuling!
"You heard that... Cold!"
The blonde girl's expression turned several degrees colder. She was completely different from her earlier shy appearance, returning to her previous capable and icy demeanor.
"I... No, I didn't! I didn't hear anything! Please spare me, my lady!"
King Cold dropped to his knees and begged the blonde girl for mercy! Son Wuling, watching from afar, was instantly dumbfounded! His brain could barely process it. Why was King Cold so spineless that he actually knelt?!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Son Gohan and Videl arrived shortly afterward. When they saw the scene before them, they were equally stunned, too shocked to speak.
"Th-That was King Cold, right, Master Wuling?" Videl asked blankly.
"That was him. He looked a lot like Frieza!" Son Wuling answered.
"But why was King Cold kneeling before that golden-haired big sister?" Like Son Wuling, Son Gohan felt that his brain was not enough. King Cold was actually kneeling and begging for mercy! On Namek, even when Frieza had faced two opponents at once, he had refused to yield in the slightest!
If Son Wuling had known what Son Gohan was thinking, he would have told him that Frieza had cried for help before Son Goku on Namek, showing his most vulnerable side and even admitting defeat. Perhaps after being revived, it was because of that incident that Frieza became so obsessed with Son Goku.
"I'd also like to know what the hell was going on," Son Wuling replied helplessly. Everything was a mess, a complete mess. The desperate Super Saiyan warrior Trunks had disappeared, and now a girl identical to Number 18 had appeared. What was this supposed to be?!
"Still, it was better if that world of despair did not exist. Everything was still so wonderful. Son Goku had not died from some viral heart disease, everyone was still alive, and Trunks was no longer a lonely warrior of despair!"
Son Wuling could not help thinking.
The blonde girl used Energy Control to lift King Cold into the air. He struggled constantly as he begged her for mercy!
"My name is Rose. I am the Destroyer Angel of the entire universe. Even if the God of Destruction Beerus and Whis came here, they still couldn't save you, Cold. Since you heard something you shouldn't have heard, die beneath the divine power of Ultra Instinct!"
A wave of silver energy gathered at the blonde girl named Rose's pineal gland.
Time seemed to freeze in that instant. King Cold's pleas for mercy and his body slowly shattered and faded away, becoming bright silver ash that scattered across the ground and drifted in the wind. Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others, who had arrived late, happened to witness Rose destroying King Cold.
"Hmph... You were far inferior to your son Frieza, Cold. You were far too inferior. If your cells weren't still useful, I would have destroyed even your soul. Then not even the Super Dragon Balls could revive you!"
The blonde girl snorted coldly. A ki blast from her hand directly destroyed King Cold's spaceship. Looking at the ashes drifting in every direction, she revealed a faint smile.
"Next, I needed to explain things to Uncle Goku, Uncle Krillin, Uncle Piccolo, and Uncle Vegeta. But I couldn't let Dad find out. If Dad learned about this, I might not even be born in this timeline!"
