As the massive Metal Planet disintegrated, a cataclysmic explosion illuminated the entire universe in a blinding white light.
A violent energy shockwave swept across the entire starry sky.
But soon, everything fell silent.
The pink gas, which clung to the battlefield like a leech, constantly draining everyone's strength, was visibly fading and dissipating.
Within the parched meridians, a long-lost warm current is surging anew from the deepest part of the body.
Although faint, the continuous flow of energy is rising again!
On the battlefield, the movements of the entire undead army all froze simultaneously.
Those Avengers who were originally fearless and could endlessly regenerate under the Ki of Utter Death seemed to have had their souls ripped out, their movements completely frozen.
Slug looked down in horror at his arm.
His arm is becoming transparent!
Bojack, Jass, and all the Hera Warriors —their bodies were becoming ethereal.
With desperate screams, their bodies turned into specks of light, which were blown away by the winds of the universe and completely disappeared without a trace.
The entire Planet Frieza fell into a deathly silence.
All that remained were broken walls and ruins, and the heavy breathing of the surviving soldiers.
Son Goku stood still, feeling the renewed power within his body. The golden aura slowly subsided, and he returned to his normal state with black hair and black eyes.
He looked around and saw that his once invincible enemies had all turned to dust.
Not far behind him.
Bardock's figure also began to become transparent.
Countless tiny specks of light were peeling off his body and slowly rising into the sky.
Looking at his hand turning into specks of light, he showed no fear of death, nor any resentment.
He simply chuckled and shook his head with a relieved expression.
it's all over.
He murmured softly.
Goodbye, Kakarot...
Son Goku heard it.
He turned around, and the sharpness he had displayed in battle faded from his dark eyes, replaced by an indescribable complexity.
He looked at the man who looked exactly like him, but was about to disappear.
A genuine smile slowly appeared on Son Goku's face.
"I'm so happy..."
"You're not a bad person..."
"If it weren't for your reminder, we might really have died here..."
Bardock suddenly stopped, looked up at his son.
Son Goku paused for a moment.
"Bye now..."
"... dad..."
These two words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a tidal wave in Bardock's heart.
Bardock looked at Son Goku, his lips moved, but in the end it just turned into a low chuckle.
"Yeah..."
"You guessed it..."
His body has become increasingly ethereal.
He didn't go up to hug her, nor did he say anything more sentimental.
That doesn't belong to the Saiyan.
He simply turned around slowly, leaving his fading figure to Son Goku.
He raised his hand and waved casually behind him, towards his son.
"I guess... we'll never see each other again..."
Son Goku stood there quietly, looking in the direction Bardock had disappeared.
High in the sky.
Just when everyone thought that this cosmic catastrophe had finally come to an end, and their tense nerves had just begun to relax.
"It's not over yet!!"
A rapid roar, amplified through the loudspeaker, exploded across the heavens and earth like a thunderclap!
That sound forcefully tightened everyone's nerves once again!
The soldiers of Frieza Force, who had just relaxed, suddenly stiffened.
Son Goku also jolted awake from his sense of loss and turned his head sharply.
Vegeta, struggling to stay upright, leaned against a boulder, letting out a cold snort to mask his weakness, while his gaze also turned towards the source of the sound.
Dr. Dr. Gero, along with Android 16 and Cacao, descended rapidly from the sky.
His expression was more solemn than ever before.
" Dr. Gero? What do you mean by this?" Son Goku asked loudly.
Dr. Gero ignored him and, after landing, explained at a rapid pace, his voice filled with barely suppressed anxiety.
"Originally, I planned to destroy the core of that thing as well!"
"But if we don't act now, you'll likely be completely wiped out... Time doesn't allow me to delay any longer, so I have no choice but to destroy the radiation device immediately..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
What's the meaning?
Before they could even ask a question, Dr. Gero had already raised his arm sharply and pointed to the sky!
Look there!
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
All that could be seen was the ruins of a Metal Planet, which had just experienced a tremendous explosion and should have been completely empty.
A massive, heart-like mechanical core floated silently there!
A layer of dark red energy shield tightly protected it.
The core was throbbing violently, each beat seemingly absorbing some invisible force left over from the battlefield.
Dr. Gero's face was grim.
"That's Grudge Collector!"
"It will collect all the resentment of these dead creatures..."
His voice trembled slightly.
"There must be... there must be a terrifying being born..."
As Dr. Gero finished speaking, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky!
Countless ghostly, twisted, and ferocious vengeful spirits rose from every corner of the battlefield!
They let out a silent roar, like rivers flowing into the sea at a summons, and frantically converged towards the core of resentment high in the sky!
" Frieza! Frieza Force!"
" Saiyan! Damn Saiyan!!"
"Kill you! Kill all of you!!"
Mixed within those resentful spirits were the extremely mournful curses of Slug, Bojack, Jass, and even countless other undead spirits who had just died!
The piercing, demonic sound pierced everyone's brains like steel needles!
The weaker soldiers below instantly screamed, clutching their ears in agony; some even collapsed to their knees, convulsing.
"Playing tricks!"
High in the sky, Frieza's eyes instantly turned icy cold.
He slowly raised his right index finger, and a point of extremely dazzling golden light gathered at the fingertip.
"Disappear!"
call out--!!!
A highly compressed golden Death Beam instantly tore through the sky, heading straight for the core that was frantically absorbing resentment!
Frieza is determined to nip this disgusting thing in the bud!
boom--!!!
The golden beam of light struck the dark red light shield.
However, the anticipated earth-shattering explosion did not occur.
That dark red light shield absorbed Golden Frieza's attack, which was powerful enough to destroy a planet, in an instant, just like a sponge absorbing water!
Not only was it completely unharmed, but because it absorbed this enormous energy, its pulsation became even more intense and frantic!
"What?!"
Dr. Gero, seeing this, also looked sorrowful, "It's no use now... This is the resentment of all the souls that escaped from Hell!"
"It's... coming out..."
