In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Page 197

"Hmph, you charlatan!" Vegeta's body erupted with a deep blue aura, causing rubble to float in the air. "Since you've been controlled by Chaos, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Lin Ye stopped Vegeta. He could sense that the chaotic energy within the other's body was unusually strange. "They're just being controlled. There might still be hope!"

As he spoke, Lin Ye's body shone with golden light, his hair instantly turning into a dazzling gold, and his Super Saiyan God form was activated! The golden flames burned fiercely like fire, colliding with the black energy emanating from the Chaos Android, producing a "sizzling" sound and sparking countless tiny sparks.

"Number 17! Number 18! Wake up!" Lin Ye took a step forward, and golden energy waves spread out. "You are being controlled by the fragments of chaos, break free quickly!"

Chaos 17 let out a cold laugh, his laughter full of disdain: "Wake up? What nonsense are you talking about? The power of Chaos has made me stronger than ever before. This feeling is simply amazing. Why would I need to wake up?"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a black energy ball the size of a basketball condensed in his palm. Fine black lightning crackled around the surface of the energy ball. "Since you're so eager to meddle, then let's all die here together!"

The energy ball shot towards Lin Ye with a whistling sound. Vegeta's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already blocking Lin Ye's path, and his right fist, wrapped in deep blue energy, slammed out fiercely: "Bastard! Your opponent is me!"

"Bang!" The fist collided with the energy ball, and the huge impact smashed a deep crater in the ground, with black energy fragments scattering like fireworks.

Seeing this, Android 18 lightly touched the ground with his toes, transforming into a black shadow as he lunged at Vegeta, his fist aimed straight for his face. Vegeta dodged to the side, simultaneously throwing a backhand punch at Android 18's abdomen, but Android 18 blocked it with his arm. The two instantly became entangled in combat, the sounds of their fists colliding echoing incessantly.

On Lin Ye's side, Chaos 17's speed far exceeded his expectations. The opponent's figure flickered continuously in the ruins, leaving behind a series of black afterimages. Lin Ye launched several attacks but missed. Instead, because the energy released during the attacks was absorbed by the chaotic energy on the opponent's body, he felt his internal power slowly draining away.

"Damn it, this can't go on." Lin Ye thought anxiously. He could feel his stamina being rapidly depleted, while Chaos 17 seemed tireless, its attacks becoming increasingly fierce.

Just then, a system notification sounded in my mind: [Detected the core location of the Chaos Android, in the very center of its chest. This is a point of convergence for Chaos fragments, with weak defenses, and can be used as a breakthrough point.]

"The core is in the chest?" Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea. He deliberately slowed down his movements, revealing an opening, his left shoulder drooping slightly, and his breathing appearing somewhat disordered.

Chaos Number 17 took the bait as expected, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. He instantly appeared in front of Lin Ye, his right fist, imbued with dense chaotic energy, slamming towards Lin Ye's chest: "Die!"

"Now!" Lin Ye was overjoyed. He leaned sharply to the left, narrowly avoiding the punch. At the same time, he concentrated all his strength into his right fist, and golden energy gathered into a dazzling ball of light, which he slammed into Chaos 17's chest!

"Thud!" The fist struck its target squarely, and Chaos 17's body jolted violently. The blackness in his eyes faded almost entirely, replaced by a look of pain. He let out a shrill roar, and his body began to gradually become transparent, starting from his chest, with black mucus dripping continuously from his body.

"No... impossible... the power of chaos... how could it be..." Chaos 17's voice grew weaker and weaker until his entire body turned into a black fragment and fell to the ground, emitting a faint chaotic energy.

Lin Ye took a breath, bent down to pick up the fragment, and was about to destroy it with his energy when he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger behind him! He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but it was too late - Chaos 18 had somehow gotten rid of Vegeta's entanglement and punched him hard in the back.

"Ugh!" Lin Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered forward a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Chaos 18 withdrew his fist, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by darkness. Vegeta, seeing this, roared, "Bastard! You dare attack me!" He was about to charge forward when Lin Ye stopped him.

"Wait, Vegeta." Lin Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around to look at Android 18, and said urgently, "Android 18, wake up! Do you remember Krillin? The guy who always wore sunglasses and obeyed you! He's still in our timeline waiting for you to go back!"

“Krillin…” Chaos 18’s body suddenly trembled, a crack appearing in the blackness of her eyes, a flash of clarity passing through them. She instinctively raised her hand, as if trying to grasp something, muttering to herself, “Krillin… he…”

But just a second later, the chaotic energy regained control. She shook her head violently, her eyes turning icy again: "Don't try to fool me with him! Those pointless emotions will only drag me down! The power of chaos is the strongest!"

"Emotions?" Vegeta, watching this scene, suddenly realized something and shouted at Lin Ye, "Lin Ye! Try using your so-called inherited power! Stimulate her memories! Maybe you can awaken her consciousness!"

“The power of inheritance? That’s it!” Lin Ye suddenly realized. He immediately stood up straight, put his hands together in front of his chest, and golden power of inheritance flowed out of his body, condensing into a golden pillar of light in front of him.

"Number 18! Look at me!" Lin Ye's voice carried a hint of pleading. "Think about the days you spent with Klin! You fished together on the island, cooked together, and had your daughter Maren! Do you remember the first time Maren called you 'Mom'? She was so small, so cute, and she was clinging to your leg asking for candy!"

A golden beam of light shot towards Chaos 18. She instinctively tried to dodge, but was enveloped within it. The inherited power within the beam carried a warm aura, constantly washing over her consciousness. Chaos 18's body began to tremble violently, the blackness in her eyes receded at a visible speed, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Maren… my daughter…” She clutched her head, crouching down in anguish. “Clin… I remember… I want to go home…”

As she finished speaking, the chaotic patterns on her body began to gradually disappear, and the black slime shed from her body like melting snow, revealing her original form. A few minutes later, the chaotic energy completely dissipated, and Number 18 returned to normal, though her face was somewhat pale and her eyes were filled with confusion.

She slowly stood up, looked at her hands, then at the ruins around her, her voice slightly hoarse: "I... how did I get here? What happened? I remember I was protecting the ecological zone with Number 17, and then suddenly a black thing appeared... I can't remember anything after that."

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, crushed the black fragment in his hand, and the golden energy completely purified it: "You were controlled by the Chaos Fragment and turned into a Chaos Artificial Human. Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Vegeta walked over to the two of them, his arrogance subsiding. Although his face still showed impatience, his tone softened considerably: "Now that you're awake, hurry up and get yourself in the right state. Who knows what other troubles this godforsaken place might bring?"

Number 18 nodded and began circulating his internal energy to recover his strength. Just then, the entire ground suddenly shook violently, more violently than ever before! A distant, ruined high-rise building collapsed with a roar, raising clouds of dust.

An even larger black figure slowly rose from the depths of the ruins, standing over three meters tall. The chaotic patterns on its body were denser than those of Number 17 and Number 18 combined, like a black net covering its entire body. Its eyes were two enormous black vortexes, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"It's Android 16!" Lin Ye and Vegeta exclaimed simultaneously. They hadn't expected that Android 16 would also be controlled by the Chaos Fragment, and that it seemed even more powerful than Androids 17 and 18.

Chaos 16 looked down at the three, his voice like a muffled thunder: "I didn't expect you to be able to awaken them... But it doesn't matter, your good luck ends here. I will make you pay the price for disrupting Chaos's plans!"

He raised his right hand, and a huge black energy ball with a diameter of more than two meters condensed in his palm. The space around the energy ball began to distort due to the enormous energy, and the chaotic energy in the air frantically converged towards the energy ball.

"Not good! Get out of the way!" Lin Ye shouted, simultaneously gathering energy in his hands. Vegeta and Android 18, who had just recovered, reacted immediately. The three of them stood back to back, releasing all the energy within their bodies. Three beams of light of different colors converged in front of them to form a huge energy shield.

"Boom!" Chaos 16 launched the energy ball, smashing it into the energy shield with earth-shattering force. The moment the two collided, a massive shockwave completely leveled the surrounding ruins, and black and colorful energy storms swept in all directions, turning the entire sky dark purple.

Lin Ye and the other two gritted their teeth, doing their utmost to support the energy shield, their feet carving deep furrows in the ground. Cracks continued to appear on the surface of the energy shield, clearly indicating that it was about to collapse.

"His power is too great!" Number 18's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled slightly. "We must join forces to attack his core, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for long!"

Lin Ye and Vegeta exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes. The three nodded simultaneously, abruptly retracted their energy shields, and used the recoil to retreat, creating distance between themselves.

"Lin Ye, draw his attention from the front!" Vegeta shouted. "Android 18 and I will attack from the side!"

"Alright!" Lin Ye responded, his body radiating golden light as the power of his Super Saiyan God form exploded. He transformed into a golden streak of light and charged toward Chaos 16, his fist slamming into the opponent's head with a sharp whistling sound.

Android 16 snorted coldly and raised his hand to block. Lin Ye's fist slammed into his arm, making a dull thud. Just then, Vegeta and Android 18 attacked from the left and right sides simultaneously. Vegeta's fist aimed at Android 16's waist, while Android 18 aimed at his legs.

Although Chaos 16 was powerful, he gradually became overwhelmed by the combined attacks of the three. His movements began to slow down, and the chaotic patterns on his body dimmed due to energy depletion.

"No! I'm not reconciled!" Chaos 16 roared angrily, and his body suddenly began to expand. His body, which was originally more than three meters tall, instantly grew to five meters. The chaotic energy on his body surged wildly, and he was obviously about to self-destruct.

"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct! Get out of the way!" Lin Ye's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Vegeta and Android 18's arms and ran away into the distance.

"Boom...!" A huge explosion rang out behind them, a black mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and the shockwave swept in like a tsunami. Lin Ye and his two companions were caught up by the shockwave, their bodies flying out like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground.

After a while, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Lin Ye struggled to his feet and found that Vegeta and Android 18 were mostly unharmed, just a little disheveled. Android 16's body had vanished, leaving only a black fragment scattered at the center of the explosion.

Lin Ye walked over, picked up the fragment, and used the power of inheritance to completely purify and destroy it: "Finally... all the Chaos fragments have been cleared away."

Number 18 walked up to him, her face filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Lin Ye. If it weren't for you, I might never have woken up, and I would never have seen Klin and Maren again."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "No need to thank me, we're partners. Now that the Chaos Fragments have been destroyed, it's time for us to return to our own time and space."

Vegeta dusted himself off, and although he didn't speak, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. The three walked to the location where the space-time rift opened and stepped inside one after another.

When they opened their eyes again, the three of them were back in the Temple of Time in Universe 7. Bulma, seeing them return safely, immediately ran over, a joyful smile on her face: "Great! You're finally back! I detected that all the chaotic energy reactions have disappeared; Kronos can no longer be reborn using the Chaos Shards!"

Goku, Gohan, and the others gathered around, all asking about the future. Lin Ye briefly recounted the battle, and everyone looked on with lingering fear before cheering for their victory.

Looking at the lively scene before him, Lin Ye smiled, but he knew in his heart that this did not mean the end. The universe was vast and boundless, and countless unknown dangers awaited them. But as long as he fought alongside these companions, he was confident that he could defeat any enemy they encountered.

After all, their adventure has only just begun.

Chapter 440: A New Threat

In the plaza of the Temple of Time, the bonfire crackled, and the aroma of roasted meat filled the air. Goku, clutching a whole roasted pig in one hand and a can of soda in the other, ate with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil: "This is so delicious! Bulma, your grilling skills are getting better and better!"

“Of course, look who made it.” Bulma proudly raised her chin and handed Vegeta a glass of chilled juice. “Don’t just look, have some too.”

Vegeta snorted, took the juice but didn't drink it, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, a faint smile unconsciously playing on his lips. Krillin, holding Maren, sat with Android 18, watching the children chase and play in the square, his face full of happy smiles.

Lin Ye leaned against a pillar, watching the lively scene before him, his long-tense nerves finally relaxing. He raised his glass and smiled at everyone, saying, "We were able to resolve the problem of the Chaos Artificial Beings thanks to everyone. Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses, the crisp clinking sound echoing across the square.

Just then, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang out. The Supreme Kai's scepter began to vibrate violently without warning, and the red gem at the head of the scepter emitted a dazzling light. Then, with a "crack," a fine crack appeared on the surface of the gem.

The Supreme Kai's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, gripping his scepter tightly: "This is bad! This is a warning! An extremely terrifying threat is approaching Universe Seven!"

The cheerful atmosphere froze instantly; the smiles on everyone's faces vanished, and they all crowded around. Goku put down the roasted meat in his hand, scratched his head, and said, "A threat? Is it some kind of guy even stronger than the Chaos Androids?"

"Even more terrifying than the Lord of Chaos!" The Supreme Kai's voice trembled slightly as he raised his scepter before the crowd, pointing at the cracked gem. "According to ancient records, the Lord of Chaos is not the ultimate darkness. His demise will awaken an even more ancient being—the God of the Void. They feed on nothingness, and everything they touch is reduced to nothingness. Their fighting power cannot be measured by ordinary standards!"

"The God of the Void?" Lin Ye frowned. He could sense the fear in the Supreme God's words, and it was no exaggeration.

"Buzz—" The detection device on Bulma's wrist suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, the numbers on the screen fluctuated wildly, and the red warning light flashed incessantly. Her expression changed, and she quickly operated the device: "Oh no! Strong unknown energy fluctuations detected, located at the edge of the universe! The energy level has exceeded the device's maximum range!"

She projected the instrument into the air, and a huge holographic image appeared. In the image, in the darkness at the edge of the universe, a black rift spanning thousands of miles was slowly expanding, and a hazy energy surged within the rift, an energy that seemed to devour light, making anyone who looked at it feel uneasy.

Several transparent figures gradually coalesced within the crack. They had no fixed form, resembling flowing mist, with only a pair of eyes shimmering with an ethereal light clearly visible. One of the figures slowly raised its hand, its voice as cold as if from the abyss, resounding directly in everyone's minds: "Sleeping for billions of years, we have finally awakened once more. This time, we will reduce the entire universe to nothingness!"

"Such arrogance!" Vegeta's body instantly erupted with deep blue flames, his fists clenched. "Want to destroy the universe? Ask me first!"

Lin Ye didn't hesitate either. Golden light erupted from his body, and his Super Saiyan God form was activated. He took a step forward, and the golden flames collided with the void energy coming from the air, sparking countless sparks: "No matter what you are, if you dare to mess with Universe Seven, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

The God of the Void let out a cold laugh, a laugh as grating as glass scraping: "Insignificant Saiyans, you dare to be presumptuous before us? I'll give you a chance. Obediently submit, and perhaps I can spare a wisp of your consciousness."

"Submit? You're dreaming!" Lin Ye roared, preparing to launch an attack, when the Void God's palm had already condensed a gray energy ball, which shot towards him with a whistling sound.

"Don't even think about hurting him!" Vegeta's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished from his spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already blocking Lin Ye's path, his right fist, wrapped in deep blue energy, slamming out fiercely: "Bastard! Your opponent is me!"

"Bang!" Vegeta's fist collided with the energy ball, the immense impact sending him staggering back two steps. But to his surprise, the hazy gray energy surged up his arm like a tide, attempting to devour his power. Vegeta immediately circulated his ki, forcing the energy back: "What the hell is this thing?"

"It's void energy, capable of devouring all matter and energy!" the Supreme Kai cried anxiously. "Everyone be careful, don't get touched by this energy!"

Seeing this, Goku immediately activated his Super Saiyan Blue form, golden flames crackling with blue lightning: "In that case, let's attack together!" He charged into the air first, conjuring a massive Kamehameha wave with both hands, "Kamehameha... Wave!"

Gohan, Krillin, Android 18, and the others also activated their strongest forms, gathering energy balls of various colors in their hands and launching them at the God of the Void. Countless energy attacks rushed towards the black rift like a meteor shower, seemingly about to hit their target.

The God of the Void calmly raised his hands, and a massive barrier of hazy, ethereal energy formed before him. When the energy attacks struck the barrier, they vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

"It's useless." The voice of the God of the Void carried a hint of mockery. "Your energy will only become nourishment for us to restore our strength." As he finished speaking, his body became more solid, and his originally transparent form began to take on a tangible outline.

"Damn it!" Wukong gritted his teeth, preparing to launch a stronger attack, but was stopped by Lin Ye.

"Don't be impulsive!" Lin Ye shook his head. "His energy can devour our attacks. If we keep fighting head-on, we'll only get weaker and weaker."

The God of the Void looked at the helpless crowd with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Now, it's our turn to fight back." He pointed his palm at the crowd in the square, and a thick beam of void energy shot out, the air in its path seemed to be swallowed up, making a "sizzling" sound.

"Get out of the way!" Lin Ye shouted, pushing Bulma aside as he activated his Super Saiyan God form, forming a golden shield that blocked everyone's path.

"Boom!" The energy beam slammed into the shield, the immense impact causing cracks to appear in the ground beneath Lin Ye's feet. His face instantly turned pale, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. The shield's surface was covered with dense cracks, clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Everyone, retreat! Let's get out of here first!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth, using all his strength to maintain the shield. "We're no match for him right now!"

Without hesitation, everyone turned and ran into the temple. Goku and Vegeta covered the rear, constantly launching attacks to disrupt the God of the Void and buy time for the others.

The God of the Void watched the fleeing figures and let out a cold laugh: "Trying to escape? No one can escape before the God of the Void!" His body transformed into a black streak of light and chased after them.

Everyone took refuge in the temple's council chamber. Bulma immediately activated the temple's defense system, and a thick energy barrier enveloped the entire council chamber. The Void God's attacks struck the barrier, producing loud "bangs," and the barrier shook violently, on the verge of collapsing.

“This can’t go on; the barrier won’t hold for long.” Bulma frantically operated the control panel, her forehead covered in cold sweat. “We have to find a way to deal with him!”

Lin Ye leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Deflecting the attack had drained a significant amount of his energy. He closed his eyes, trying to calm his breathing, his mind racing as he considered a solution: "The God of the Void feeds on nothingness, and its energy can devour everything… What could possibly counteract this energy?"

Just then, a system notification sounded in my mind: [Detected that the Void God's energy essence is nothingness, its nemesis is life energy. Life energy contains the power of creation, which can counteract the devouring nature of nothingness; sufficiently powerful life energy can even directly destroy the Void God's physical form.]

"Life energy?" Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he suddenly opened them wide. "I have an idea! Bulma, can you create a life energy collector? The kind that can concentrate the life energy around you!"

Bulma paused for a moment, then nodded: "Sure! I've studied the properties of life energy before and have the relevant design blueprints. But manufacturing will take time, at least half an hour!"

“Half an hour…” Lin Ye looked at the shaking barrier, his brows furrowed. “We have to find a way to delay him for half an hour!”

He turned to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Listen to me, everyone. The Void God fears life energy. The life energy of the plants, animals, and even our own life energy around us can harm him. Next, we will take turns attacking him with life energy to buy time for Bulma to create the collector!"
