"Hehehe~ That guy really keeps his word, truly not intervening."
Frieza, who had been secretly monitoring the group chat, let out a cruel laugh, raising his hand into a beast-like claw and swinging it downwards.
A purplish-red light slammed into the ground.
The terrifying energy spread in a vertical line, extending continuously in two directions.
It felt like it could split the Earth in two at any moment.
"Then, I can't let you die too easily. This time, don't think there will be any wild Saiyans from the future to save you."
The terrifying aftershock forced Goku, who had just been beaten into the planet's core abyss, back out.
His Turtle School gi had long been worn away in the continuous battle, revealing his muscular body covered in bruises and blood.
Boom!
Frieza struck with a flying knee drop, sending Goku plummeting like a meteor once again.
Right now, he was venting all the anger he'd suffered from Lott onto Goku.
The ground below on Earth had already collapsed. As far as the eye could see, mountains had crumbled, rivers had run dry.
It had completely turned into an apocalyptic scene, identical to Namek in the original work.
On the beach by Kame House, Master Roshi walked onto the sand, looking up at the overcast sky.
The moment he looked up, a mix of black and crimson lightning struck down. Gritting his teeth, he said:
"If they keep fighting, the Earth will collapse!"
"Th-This is bad, right? Master Roshi, I just privately messaged Bulma. She said the Dragon Balls on Planet Terra can only revive one person at a time. If the Earth is gone... me, Maron, you, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo... My god, the Dragon Balls on Planet Terra aren't enough..."
Krillin, inside the house supporting his pregnant wife, also panicked.
He couldn't help but complain about how stingy the Terra's Porunga was.
"Krillin, I don't want to die~"
Maron whined coquettishly.
Watching his disciple being tortured beyond recognition by Frieza in the live stream, Master Roshi's eyes behind his sunglasses turned serious. He said gravely:
"...Krillin, give me that!"
Krilling was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what his master meant.
Gritting his teeth, he went to the second floor and brought out a Dragon Ball… it was the Four-Star Ball that Goku once possessed!
That's right. The Frieza Force had already collected the other six Dragon Balls.
But the final Four-Star Ball had been obtained in advance by the Z-Fighters.
It's precisely to prevent Frieza from making his wish early and then attacking Earth!
"I'll go, Master Roshi."
Krillin said seriously, holding the Dragon Ball.
"Brat, you have a wife and child now. You can't go dying recklessly. And don't forget, you've already died once."
Master Roshi snatched the Four-Star Ball impatiently, then activated his long-unused Flight Technique, flying towards the site of the incident.
"But Master Roshi, you've already died once too!"
Krillin shouted desperately.
But Master Roshi was already far away.
…
"Krillin's not here? No other choice..."
On Planet Terra, Lott glanced at the barely alive Goku in the light screen.
He opened the Universe Chat Room.
[Lott: @North King Kai, King Kai, hold onto Old Goku's soul, don't let him reincarnate. The Dragon Balls on my side will take some time before they can be used.]
[North King Kai: You should call me 'King Kai-sama'. Young people these days are getting more and more disrespectful...]
Many in the group noticed their conversation and were stunned.
'Damn, they can... just keep the soul like that?'
Bai Yuekui adjusted her glasses, which added a touch of intellect to her appearance, and said quickly, "According to what King Kai said before, when ordinary people die, their souls undergo reincarnation. That would make revival impossible. This is preparation for Son Goku's revival."
Xia Dou commented speechlessly, "Damn, reporting to the Afterlife is like going to a public toilet in their eyes. Come and go as they please!"
Sui Xing shook her head with a bitter smile. "No helping it. Who told them they are the strongest in the universe? Even King Kai and King Yemma have to show them some respect. Of course, we don't have that qualification."
In the eyes of ordinary people like Bai Yuekui, the Afterlife was practically like a public toilet for guys like Lott.
They can come and go as they please!
A while ago, many dying people desperately flattered King Yemma and King Kai before their deaths-
Hoping that after they died, they could be sent to heaven or King Kai's planet.
But they simply ignored them. King Yemma even got so annoyed he directly announced in the group: Anyone else trying to use connections, regardless of merit, gets thrown straight into hell!
That finally shut up the many people wanting to use backdoors, like the Konoha Elder Council from the Planet Ninja, the Arasaka Corporation from the Planet Cyber, and numerous pirate crews from the Planet Pirate.
But Lott was different. The South King Kai was begging him to report to his planet.
Lott, with his terrible temper, basically ignored the South King Kai.
No helping it. Who told him he was so damn strong.
"Wait! Who is that old man!?"
Suddenly, Bai Yuekui pointed at the screen and shouted.
Everyone looked up.
They saw Master Roshi, panting heavily, flying to a spot less than a hundred meters from where Goku and Frieza were fighting. Holding the Four-Star Ball, he shouted breathlessly:
"L-Let Goku go! Frieza! Otherwise..."
As he spoke, he gathered an energy wave in the palm of his other hand, aimed at the Four-Star Ball.
"M-Master Roshi..."
Goku, whose neck was being constricted by Frieza's tail, turned his head with difficulty, looking at Master Roshi with an expression of disbelief.
Frieza was also shocked.
'Damn, no wonder my subordinates couldn't find the last one after searching the Earth inside and out. It had been hidden in advance.'
"You can have the Dragon Ball, but let Goku go and leave Earth. Otherwise, I'll destroy this-"
A Death Beam shot from Frieza's eye, instantly piercing through Master Roshi's chest!
"Master Roshi-!"
Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, and the others screamed.
Lott, however, calmly uttered two words: "It's settled."
"Sensei, aren't you going to watch?"
Seeing Lott turn to leave, Genos asked curiously.
"Goku is definitely going to win. Go receive the cells when Frieza is about to die... Hmm? What's that..."
At that moment, Lott noticed a spaceship rapidly ascending into the high atmosphere, heading straight for space.
"That... is the spaceship Cooler and the others used when they came to Planet Terra, right? It was repaired? But why is it here..."
Following Lott's gaze, Genos, Ishigami Yu, and the others also looked up, curious.
"Probably the same group who modified Cooler."
Lott lost interest in the thing the next second.
"About four or five Dragon-level, over a dozen Demon-level, and dozens of small fries..."
Through energy sensing, Lott also guessed who was inside that spaceship that originally belonged to Cooler.
Genos also sensed the energy. "They aren't particularly troublesome opponents. Should we eliminate them, Sensei?"
Just as Lott opened his mouth to answer, Ishigami Yu, who had just used Kamui to infiltrate the underground, returned.
"Lott-san, I found this in the underground monster base. There was a letter next to it, saying they are willing to offer this to you in exchange for sparing their lives."
Ishigami Yu handed a letter and several spherical, squirming objects wrapped in white cloth to Lott.
"Eww, what is this? It looks so disgusting."
Tatsumaki came closer and was immediately disgusted by what Ishigami Yu held.
"Monster Cells... heh."
After briefly reading the letter, Lott let out a scornful chuckle.
The letter was left by Psykos, claiming these were enhanced Monster Cells infused with Cooler's cells.
The production method and samples were all here, hoping to use them as a bargaining chip to spare her life.
"What use do I have for this?"
Lott picked up the Monster Cells from Ishigami Yu's hand and threw them towards the spaceship that had already reached the atmosphere, heading straight for space.
