He was the true king of the Saiyans

Though Turles had imagined the day he would reign over Planet Vegeta countless times, he had never expected it to come so soon.

He had merely been searching the edge of the universe for a planet where he could plant the Tree of Might. He never imagined he would stumble upon the long-missing Planet Vegeta.

When he first discovered that this planet was the missing Planet Vegeta, Turles had been a little alarmed.

News that the Saiyans had betrayed King Frieza and gravely wounded him had already spread throughout the universe.

At first, Turles had worried he might encounter the powerful warrior who had injured King Frieza. But after secretly investigating and asking around, he discovered that the Saiyans had defeated King Frieza through trickery.

The strongest person on the entire planet had a power level of less than thirty thousand, while Turles's own power level had already reached 300,000!

And so, Turles began his operation.

With his overwhelming strength, he not only successfully planted the Tree of Might but also recruited many Saiyans as his servants.

Once a mere Low-Class Warrior, he had now risen to the very pinnacle of the Saiyans.

It felt absolutely wonderful!

"Go, Nappa! But try to bring more people over to our side if you can. Without enough subjects, my title as king of the Saiyans will be an empty one."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

With Turles's permission, Nappa descended in front of King Vegeta and his group with a sneer.

"King Vegeta, this is your last chance. Surrender and submit to His Majesty Turles, or die!"

"You think you can make us?" King Vegeta said disdainfully.

"Of course! Someone like you could never understand His Majesty Turles's greatness!"

"Everyone! Linx may have led us to victory over Frieza, but he also forced us Saiyans into hiding. We can't even set foot beyond our own planet! Living like prisoners is no life for Saiyans!"

Nappa shouted at the Saiyans before him, "But His Majesty Turles is different! By following him, we can return to the exciting lives we once led. More importantly, His Majesty has fruit from the Tree of Might! Everyone who follows him will have a chance to eat it!"

"Look! This is the power of the Tree of Might's fruit! Hah!"

With a roar, Nappa unleashed his energy. In an instant, an immense pressure swept over every Saiyan present like a raging storm.

Their Scouters began beeping one after another.

"Thirty thousand?" King Vegeta stared in disbelief at Nappa, who had once been nothing more than his subordinate.

Although Nappa's power level had risen considerably over the past five years, it had only been a measly 10,000 before his betrayal. How had it tripled in just a few days?

Could the fruit of the Tree of Might really be that miraculous?

Even King Vegeta began to waver, let alone the other Saiyans.

Some looked afraid, while others wore expressions of longing. Clearly, they were all wavering.

Sensing the fear of those around him, King Vegeta clenched his teeth and suddenly charged.

"You're bluffing, Nappa! I'll show you who the true Saiyan royalty is!"

King Vegeta threw a punch, but Nappa caught it with ease.

Nappa sneered coldly. "King Vegeta, do you need a reminder? You stopped being Saiyan royalty a long time ago!"

With that, he mercilessly drove a fist packed with savage power into King Vegeta's head.

Bam!

Blood sprayed as King Vegeta screamed in agony, his body hurtling backward along the horizon like a speeding meteor.

Yet Nappa actually caught up with the flying King Vegeta and kicked him downward in midair, sending him crashing into the ground.

Boom!

The ground split open, and a deep crater formed beneath King Vegeta.

Planting one foot on King Vegeta, Nappa burst into uncontrollable, maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha! Saiyan royalty? King Vegeta, do you see now? This is the power the true king of the Saiyans bestowed upon me!"

"Before him, you're nothing but an ant!"

"Damn you!" King Vegeta struggled to rise, only for Nappa to stomp him back into the ground, burying his entire face in the dirt.

"Hmph! What a worthless fool!"

Nappa spat and swept his gaze over the remaining Saiyans.

Aside from Bardock and Paragus, every Saiyan shrank under Nappa's gaze and took a frightened step back.

"Well? Do you understand now who the true king of the Saiyans is?"

Just as Nappa finished speaking, a sudden tremor rippled through the air in the distant sky.

Everyone looked up, and a moment later, two figures suddenly appeared in midair.

"Who are you?"

Lin Chen and Broly's appearance put everyone on Turles's side on guard.

Lin Chen did not answer. Instead, he gave an indifferent smile, his hands clasped behind his back.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As countless gazes turned toward him, a chorus of sharp gasps suddenly rose from the crowd.

Turles looked in bewilderment at the Saiyans around him, who seemed to have seen a ghost, and demanded coldly, "What's wrong? Who exactly is he?"

On the ground, even Nappa, who had been so domineering a moment ago, retreated several steps in terror, his body trembling beyond his control.

No one answered Turles's question.

But on Bardock's side, Paragus suddenly dropped to his knees facing Lin Chen, cupped his fist in his palm, and declared loudly, "He is the hero who led the Saiyans to defeat Frieza! The true king of our Saiyan race! King Linx!"

After Paragus, Bardock also knelt excitedly and cried, "Greetings, King Linx!"

"King Linx!"

Following Bardock's lead, a second Saiyan knelt, then a third, then a fourth... Every Saiyan who had refused to join Turles fell to their knees, their cries ringing out without end.

On Turles's side, the Saiyans who had recently joined him looked just as frightened as Nappa.

Though Lin Chen had not appeared before them for five years, the awe he inspired remained.

At the sight, Turles snorted and tapped his Scouter.

But the reading puzzled him. "5,000? Why does this guy only have a power level of 5,000? Even that little one beside him has a power level of 10,000!"

"Have these Saiyans all gone mad? How can someone with a power level of 5,000 dare call himself their true king?"

"You must have a death wish! Get down on the ground!"

One of Turles's direct subordinates flew out and charged at Lin Chen, intending to knock him to the ground.

Seeing this, Nappa immediately shouted from below, "Lord Cacao, be careful! That Linx has a power level of 100,000!"

"What?"

Cacao had barely heard Nappa's warning and had yet to react when Lin Chen suddenly swept a kick toward him.

Bam!

With a dull thud, Cacao flew backward even faster than he had charged, crashing headfirst into the trunk of the Tree of Might.

Splat!

He was reduced to a heap of mangled flesh!
