Planet Turles, Bulma's exclusive research area.
boom--!
Another deafening roar followed.
A semi-circular gravity training chamber collapsed from the inside without warning!
The violent shockwave transformed into a visible shockwave, causing even some fragile buildings in the vicinity to tilt and collapse.
Fortunately, the gravity chamber acted as a buffer, offsetting most of the impact; otherwise, it could have been even more terrifying!
Amidst the ruins.
Vegeta stood silently, his upper body bare and covered in wounds.
He slowly clenched his fist.
His eyes were tightly closed, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards, forming a smug arc.
A thick white aura rose from his body, instantly dispersing the surrounding smoke and debris.
An unprecedented level of comfort!
It was an ultimate pleasure that allowed the humiliation, resentment, and anger that had been suppressed deep within the soul for a long time to be completely released at this moment!
strength!
This is the power he has always dreamed of!
He could feel every cell in his body cheering and leaping with joy, as if it had broken free from some invisible shackles and been reborn.
Vegeta breathed in greedily, savoring this unprecedented power.
Just as he was immersed in the ecstasy of his sudden surge of power, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the chaotic scene around him out of the corner of his eye.
The once picturesque lawn and the several outbuildings in the distance have now been reduced to dust.
His brow suddenly furrowed.
"Hmph, thank goodness that woman isn't here."
Vegeta snorted coldly, and Bulma's angry, hands-on-hips, incessantly chattering face involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
The thought of the endless nagging and complaints inexplicably diminished his initial surge of enthusiasm.
trouble.
As if he had done something wrong, he didn't hesitate for a moment and suddenly exerted force with his feet.
He transformed into a blinding white streak of light, heading straight towards the base.
Inside Vegeta's private barracks.
Hot water poured from the showerhead, washing away the dried blood and dust from his body.
A moment later, he changed into a brand new Frieza Force Battle Suit.
The black bodysuit accentuated his explosive muscle lines, while the white shoulder armor and leg guards added to his imposing aura.
Vegeta stood in front of the mirror, looking at his reflection—a reflection that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The sharp aura emanating from within satisfied him immensely.
He stepped out of the barracks, his fighting spirit boiling over at its peak.
Vegeta searched the base thoroughly, but he didn't see Kakarot, or even Piccolo or Krillin, the Earth Warriors.
Even Amond and Daiz, one of Turles ' core subordinates, were nowhere to be found.
Although the entire base remained orderly, he could not sense any of the powerful auras he was familiar with.
"Damn it! Where have they all gone?!"
Vegeta's face grew increasingly grim; his burning fighting spirit, with nowhere to vent, transformed into a raging rage that blazed within him.
It felt like he had meticulously prepared a grand fireworks display, only to find that the audience had all left early.
Just as he was about to grab any passing guard and interrogate him about the whereabouts of Kakarot and the others.
A series of dense and powerful energy fluctuations suddenly emanated from the direction of the hangar at the bottom of the base.
Vegeta paused.
Following the source of the energy fluctuation, he flashed and instantly appeared in the observation corridor above the hangar.
The sight before him startled him slightly.
What are these heavily armed fleets up to?
Countless soldiers in standard Battle Suit poured out from their posts.
In this tense and suffocating atmosphere, two figures stood out as if they were out of place.
Android 18 yawned, hands in his pockets, and strolled leisurely through the crowd.
Her languid and carefree demeanor contrasted sharply with the soldiers running around her and the flashing siren lights, as if everything before her had nothing to do with her.
She walked over to her younger brother, who was already waiting in front of their private spaceship, and casually glanced at the massive fleet that was ready to set sail.
"What's wrong, Android 17?"
"What task is it? You seem to be in a hurry?"
Android 17 maintained his cool, hands-in-pockets pose, his expression calm. He simply explained to his sister, "Of course, this is an order personally given by the General!"
Upon hearing the word "General," Android 18 finally dropped his nonchalant and carefree demeanor.
She raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
"Is it that serious? We've already arrested so many fools, does anyone still dare to cause trouble for Frieza Force?"
During the previous cosmic turmoil, the power of Frieza Force was evident to all in the universe!
With the promotional video for the Battle of Planet Namek airing throughout the universe, Frieza Force's prestige has reached its peak.
It's only been a little over six months, and someone's already daring to cause trouble again?
Android 17 reluctantly pulled his hands out of his pockets and spread them out.
"Honestly, I've told you to read fewer fashion magazines, you're completely oblivious to what's going on around you..."
He sighed and continued to explain.
"I heard that the general's apprentice is in danger in some star system! We must hurry to his aid!"
"The general's apprentice?"
Android 18 tossed his hair, fell into deep thought, then shook his head and sighed.
"Okay... I don't know either..."
The android siblings chatted back and forth as they each boarded their own individual combat spherical spaceships.
With their engines bursting forth in blinding blue flames, two sleek, small spaceships shot into the sky like arrows, ahead of the massive fleet below that was fully prepared for departure.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into two dazzling streaks of light, tearing through the clouds and disappearing into the depths of space.
"Based on the coordinates, it's not too far from our star system! Full speed ahead, Android 18!"
"I know!"
After their spaceship left the atmosphere, they made slight adjustments to their direction.
I will not hold anything back.
It swore straight toward its target, leaving a long trail, and disappeared into the sea of stars!
On the circular observation corridor at the top of the base.
Vegeta silently watched the two streaks of light disappear into the distance, lost in thought.
