The wasteland outside East City had become completely silent.
Smoke and dust hung in the air like a heavy curtain, covering the battlefield that had just witnessed a god-level clash.
At the center of the enormous crater, which looked like it had been formed by a meteor impact, the once-arrogant Saiyan prince Vegeta now lay collapsed in the rubble like a broken corpse.
His Battle Suit had been torn into scraps.
The high-elastic armor of the Frieza Force was now covered in cracks like shattered glass, revealing a body beneath that was bruised, twisted, and barely holding together.
Step. Step. Step.
Slow footsteps echoed across the crater.
Krillin walked forward with his hands in his pockets, his bald head reflecting the fading sunlight.
He stopped beside Vegeta and looked down at the unconscious prince.
There was no pity in his eyes.
Only inspection.
"So this is the Saiyan prince. His durability really is impressive."
Krillin clicked his tongue slightly.
Anyone else would have turned to ash after that last strike, but Vegeta was still breathing.
[Ding! System scan initiated.]
[Target: Vegeta]
[Race: Saiyan (royal bloodline)]
[Current status: Near death, deep coma, 72% skeletal fragmentation, internal bleeding, complete psychological collapse]
[Combat power: 18 (continuously dropping)]
Watching the data flicker across his vision, a faint smile appeared on Krillin's face.
He slowly lifted his foot.
Then stepped directly onto Vegeta's back.
Vegeta's body twitched violently.
"Ugh..."
Even in his coma, a painful groan escaped his throat.
Bloody foam mixed with fragments of internal tissue leaked from his mouth and stained the ground beneath him.
Krillin did not move his foot.
Instead, he pressed down slightly harder.
"Stop pretending. I know you're still conscious."
Krillin spoke calmly while looking toward Vegeta's lower back.
There it was.
A brown Saiyan tail.
Right now, it lay limp between the rocks, covered in dust and blood like a dead snake.
"This is valuable material."
Krillin rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
As someone who knew the entire Dragon Ball storyline, he clearly understood the importance of a Saiyan tail.
In the original setting, the tail was the key to the Great Ape transformation.
Later, in Dragon Ball GT, it even became necessary for achieving Super Saiyan 4.
Krillin thought carefully.
"Bulma would definitely be interested in studying something like this."
"If she can analyze Saiyan genetic structure from it, maybe she could develop something like an artificial Blutz Wave generator or even an S-Cell enhancement method."
More importantly...
Krillin imagined Bulma wearing a lab coat and looking at him with admiration.
"Hubby, you're amazing! You actually brought back something this valuable!"
Krillin almost laughed.
This was not just research material.
This was family status material.
With that thought, he stopped hesitating.
He bent down and grabbed the base of Vegeta's tail.
The texture was rough and dense with muscle fibers. He could even feel a faint pulse inside it.
"Sorry about this, Your Highness. You came all the way to Earth, so it's only fair you leave something behind."
"Consider it a contribution to science."
A dangerous smile appeared on Krillin's face.
No anesthesia.
No warning.
He simply tightened his grip and activated the strength from the Saitama Template.
"Up."
He pulled.
Like pulling a radish from the ground.
Simple.
Direct.
Blood sprayed instantly as the tail tore free with a sickening ripping sound.
"AAAAAAAAAA!"
Vegeta woke instantly from the pain.
His eyes snapped open, bloodshot and wide with agony.
The sensation was unbearable, like molten metal had been driven into his spine.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
He clawed desperately at the ground.
Solid rock shattered beneath his fingers, leaving deep grooves.
His legs kicked wildly, trying to throw Krillin off his back.
But Krillin's foot did not move at all.
It felt like a mountain pressing down on him.
Despair filled Vegeta's mind.
"Woke up already? Saiyan vitality really is impressive."
Krillin shook the severed tail slightly before placing it inside a Capsule storage container.
"Stop shouting."
He pressed down harder with his foot.
Crack.
Two ribs snapped again.
"Cough—!"
Vegeta nearly lost consciousness again.
Still, he forced himself to stay awake.
He turned his head slightly and stared at Krillin with hatred, humiliation, and disbelief.
He was the Saiyan prince.
A warrior destined to rule the universe.
Why was he being stepped on like an insect by a bald Earthling?
"You... you bald... lowlife..."
Each word came out slowly, like blood being squeezed from his throat.
"Kill me if you dare. Lord Frieza will never forgive this..."
"Frieza?"
Krillin narrowed his eyes slightly before returning to his calm expression.
"You still have enough energy left to threaten people?"
Krillin crouched down and lightly patted Vegeta's swollen face.
"Save your strength. Your Lord Frieza probably doesn't have time to care about a stray dog like you right now."
At that moment, several figures approached quickly from the distance.
"Dad!"
Trunks' energetic voice sounded first.
Goku followed close behind, supported by Trunks as he limped forward.
His body was still covered in injuries, and the side effects of Kaioken had not fully faded yet, making his skin slightly red, but he still smiled as usual.
Behind them came Yamcha and Piccolo.
"Whew... it's finally over," Yamcha said as he landed nearby and looked down at Vegeta beneath Krillin's foot.
A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He stepped forward and raised his hand.
Energy gathered in his palm.
"This guy tried to destroy Earth. We can't let him live."
Yamcha gritted his teeth.
After defeating the Saibamen earlier, his confidence had grown dramatically. Seeing the Saiyan prince lying helpless in the crater made him feel like he was finally standing at the center of the battlefield.
"Krillin, move aside. Let me finish him."
"I'll use my new technique, Polar Kikoho, and erase him completely. This will avenge everyone who died in East City during this battle."
