"Hanasia... is dead?"
Lin Chen looked stunned.
His Princess, Hanasia, who could transform into a Super Saiyan, had actually been killed by Frieza?
By then, Bardock and Paragus had both hurried over after learning that Lin Chen had arrived.
"Your Majesty, please don't grieve just yet," Paragus said gravely. "This is only speculation from the Galactic Patrol. The details haven't been confirmed. Their Communicators may simply have malfunctioned..."
Lin Chen's brow twitched, but he was nowhere near as optimistic.
After all, Hanasia's battle power was only a little over ten million, nowhere close to the Frieza he knew.
In the Dragon Ball world Lin Chen knew, Frieza had never mentioned his battle power in his final form, but the general consensus was that at one hundred percent power, his final form had a battle power of around 120 million.
If Frieza's battle power in this world was the same, Hanasia naturally stood no chance against him.
Even Lin Chen himself probably couldn't defeat Frieza right now. At full strength, after transforming into a Super Saiyan, his battle power could still only reach a little over twenty million.
Twenty million against 120 million.
It was a battle he was certain to lose!
Yet Lin Chen had already decided to go and check on Hanasia.
If she and the others were still alive, he would bring them straight back to Planet Vegeta.
If Hanasia and the others were already dead, he would avenge them.
Even knowing he was no match for Frieza wouldn't change that.
In the original story, Son Goku had dared to fight the monstrous Frieza alone with a battle power of only a few million. With the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline flowing through him, how could Lin Chen back down?
Fighting to the death was how a bearer of the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline should act!
"Which planet did Hanasia and the others go to? Give me the coordinates."
"Your Majesty!"
Bardock grabbed Lin Chen. "Your Majesty, please reconsider! You are the king of us Saiyans. You mustn't act rashly!"
"Bardock, stand down!" Lin Chen roared.
But Bardock refused to budge, and even King Vegeta urged, "Your Majesty, the situation is still unclear. Please wait until the Galactic Patrol has investigated before making a decision."
Lin Chen glanced at him. "King Vegeta, don't forget that aside from Frieza, we Saiyans have another, far more powerful enemy! If we cower before Frieza, how will we ever stand against him in the future? Send me the coordinates!"
King Vegeta froze. Of course he knew that the enemy Lin Chen meant was Beerus, the God of Destruction.
Indeed, compared with Beerus, what did Frieza amount to?
At that thought, King Vegeta finally lowered his head. "I understand, Your Majesty."
Soon, King Vegeta sent him the coordinates of the planet Hanasia and the others had traveled to.
Their mission this time had taken them to a planet called Tiviy Star.
The civilization on this planet was even more primitive and backward than Earth's, but the planet produced a special metal exceptionally well suited for building spaceships.
According to the intelligence the Galactic Patrol had obtained beforehand, a band of Space Pirates had set their sights on this metal. They planned to destroy the planet's civilization and claim its metal resources for themselves.
Since these pirates all belonged to races with high battle power, the Galactic Patrol couldn't handle them and had called on the Saiyans for support.
Not long afterward, however, the Galactic Patrol received a tip that there was another plot behind the attack. The Space Pirates were merely bait. Not far from Tiviy Star, the Frieza Force was secretly lying in wait.
Once he had Tiviy Star's coordinates, Lin Chen immediately reached out with his senses, then teleported there.
Meanwhile, on Tiviy Star...
Or rather, in the region of space where Tiviy Star should have been.
The planet called Tiviy Star had vanished. All that remained were enormous chunks of rock, like an asteroid belt, drifting aimlessly through the empty darkness.
Before those rocky fragments, a huge, hideous figure was laughing wildly.
"Hahaha! What beautiful fireworks! You stupid Saiyan monkeys! With such beautiful fireworks to send you to your graves, you'd better thank me in the afterlife! Hahaha!"
Half flesh and half machine, Frieza remained in his third form-the one that resembled a xenomorph. As he laughed wildly, a savage look flashed across his face.
The battle had left him battered and humiliated, and his wounds still throbbed, but in the end, he had gotten the last laugh!
Even a Super Saiyan that powerful was ultimately no match for him!
"Now you wild monkeys understand! I, Frieza, am the strongest being in the universe! Hahaha!"
Some distance away from Frieza, a disc-shaped Frieza Force mothership hovered in space.
The aliens aboard all wore the expressions of people who had narrowly escaped death.
None of them had expected a carefully planned ambush to end with the Frieza Force nearly suffering a disastrous defeat.
Fortunately, their leader Frieza had ultimately proved superior.
"I never imagined those Saiyans actually had one of the legendary Super Saiyans among them!"
"Yeah. No wonder King Frieza was nearly beaten to death by the Saiyans back then. Those Saiyans are terrifying."
"Good thing Saiyans can't survive in space. That Female Super Saiyan was far too careless, or Lord Frieza might have died again this time!"
"It's just a shame all the fighters on the planet went to their graves along with those Saiyans."
"Yeah..."
"All of you, shut up!"
A purple-skinned alien aboard the ship, with two black horns on his forehead, shouted.
His voice immediately silenced everyone else.
This alien was none other than Captain Ginyu of the Ginyu Force, the strongest warrior in the Frieza Force apart from Lord Frieza himself!
Captain Ginyu stared coldly at the others, his expression hostile. "Don't you know what Lord Frieza's temper is like? If he hears what you just said, we'll all die here! I barely managed to survive. If anyone wants to drag me to hell with them, I'll kill them first!"
Captain Ginyu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Everyone had thought this ambush against the Saiyans was foolproof.
After being brought back to life through advanced technology, King Frieza had retained his memories. He clearly remembered that the Saiyans had only defeated him by launching a surprise attack using Great Ape Transformation.
That was why Frieza had been so confident in his revenge plan.
What they hadn't expected was that the Saiyans, whom the Frieza Force hadn't encountered in years, were no longer what they had once been. They had become far stronger than before!
