It's yet another unfamiliar, desolate planet.
A cold wind howled, stirring up clouds of gray-black dust, and the air was filled with a deathly and decaying atmosphere.
On this planet where even light is reluctant to shine, two figures stand silently facing each other, some distance apart.
The iconic halos of death above their heads stood out starkly in the dim light.
"Oh dear! This isn't our King Cooler!"
In the end, it was the elderly Namekian broke the silence first.
A sinister smile crept across Slug's wrinkled old face, his eyes revealing undisguised mockery.
Cooler's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
Slug, however, took a few steps forward relentlessly, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic and bitter.
"When you sent me to be cannon fodder, you had this air of complete control on your face! I thought you'd become the true emperor of the universe!"
He stretched out his finger and pointed it towards the top of Cooler's head.
"What, you have such a pretty circle on your head too?"
This merciless mockery finally broke Cooler's silence.
There's no way.
Cooler spoke coldly, his scarlet pupils reflecting Slug's ugly face.
"I never expected that someone couldn't even handle Frieza before he transformed. It's truly laughable!"
"What did you say?!"
Slug instantly flew into a rage, his entire body erupting with green flames that cracked the ground beneath his feet.
"If it weren't for that wretched Saiyan monkey interfering, I would have taken care of Frieza long ago!"
The mere thought of Turles filled him with a burning hatred.
Cooler snorted coldly, and upon hearing the words " Saiyan," a venomous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph... Saiyan!"
"Who says otherwise! A bunch of stinky monkeys who love to ruin other people's good deeds!"
The two equally resentful auras strangely resonated at this moment.
All the hatred was directed at the same person— Turles!
Just then...
A strange spatial fluctuation occurred without warning.
A sharp, sinister voice seemed to resound directly in their minds.
"That's absolutely right, Saiyan! They're utterly despicable!"
"Who?!"
Cooler and Slug's expressions changed, and they instantly looked in the direction of the sound with wary alertness.
From the darkness not far away, a short, withered figure emerged with comical steps.
The newcomer wore a nauseating, wicked grin; it was none other than Babidi.
As soon as he came out, he looked Cooler and Slug up and down with his disdainful eyes, then shook his head dramatically.
He didn't look at the two of them, but spoke to the empty void in a reporting tone.
"I said, is this all the useless guys you found?"
Upon hearing this, Cooler and Slug's faces instantly turned extremely grim.
They could easily tell that this short man, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was openly mocking them.
Slug was already furious and couldn't stand such humiliation.
"What did you say?!"
He let out an angry roar and stomped his foot hard.
"Where did this guy come from, spouting such nonsense!"
Slug's massive body erupted instantly, his enormous fist wreathed in raging green flames, transforming into a streak of light that slammed directly toward Babidi's head!
He wanted to smash this arrogant dwarf into a pulp with one punch!
However, just as his sure-fire punch was about to strike its target...
A huge, jet-black claw covered with jagged barbs suddenly emerged from the darkness in front of Babidi, striking Slug's fist with deadly force!
Bang--!!!!
Slug felt an irresistible, terrifying force surge through him, as if he had been struck head-on by a high-speed interstellar train, his massive body flying uncontrollably backward!
He plowed a deep, bottomless trench into the hard ground, smashing through countless jagged rocks before finally coming to a stop in a sorry state.
Slug struggled to his feet, his fist, which had collided with the black claw, trembling uncontrollably, the excruciating pain of shattered bones contorting his face.
He looked up in horror.
Before Babidi, the deep darkness was slowly writhing.
A massive demonic beast slowly emerged from the shadows.
It seemed to blend into the darkness, without a fixed form, but its scarlet eyes, filled with savagery and hunger, were fixed on Slug.
A terrifying aura that could devour everything emanated from it.
Upon seeing this, Cooler's pupils suddenly contracted.
He immediately assumed a fighting stance, his internal energy surging wildly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense!
A great war is about to break out!
