Ino entered the alternate dimension. The dilapidated ruins, desolate halls, and broken corpses she had imagined did not appear.
The area of this space was not small, but she simply didn't have time to look closely.
A humanoid creature with a crocodile head, short stature, walking upright, wearing a standard combat uniform, and holding a laser weapon saw Ino suddenly walk out of the air and instinctively prepared to fire.
"Time Freeze!"
Why would there be people here? It was too rushed; Ino couldn't care about Whis's warning regarding Time Power, and used a time-type ability right off the bat.
The crocodile man's battle power couldn't be called low; it was estimated to be around two or three thousand. Speaking seriously, this level of strength was a bit of a waste for a small soldier. Ino first "froze" this guy, only then having the leisure to look around.
Holy crap!?
The alternate dimension city from her expectations existed, but it wasn't dilapidated. On the contrary, it was brightly lit here. Many buildings were fixed by metal, various scaffold-like facilities filled her vision, soldiers holding weapons were patrolling everywhere, and further away, it seemed some researchers were going in and out of buildings.
Some aliens who looked like slaves were constantly using flamethrowers to clear away vines growing out of thin air on the buildings. They cleared a batch, and the vines' growth ability would be inhibited for a while, but afterwards, these things would grow madly again. The slaves could only continue to risk having their life force sucked dry to clear the vines.
The whole process cycled round and round, seeming to use the slaves' lives to hinder the growth of those vines.
Ino was confused. This was the ruins of the Otsutsuki clan? Why did it feel like...
When she saw a disc-shaped, crab-like giant spaceship, she was dumbfounded.
She had seen this thing on Planet Plant eight hundred years ago; this was the Frieza gang's giant spaceship!
Did she run into Frieza's home?
She held her breath and lowered her battle power to the limit. These aliens couldn't sense ki, which was a good thing, but that battle power detector was still quite strong; any slight energy reaction could be detected.
She looked back and found the large gate she came in through had already vanished. She reached out to touch, but behind her was empty air, not even a single hair remained.
Ino used the Yamanaka Clan Secret Technique to read the memories in the crocodile man's brain before her.
"Very good, you are just a little tired. Now continue to go patrol."
She didn't dare kill anyone here. After modifying a part of the crocodile man's memory, she let this guy scratch his head and leave alone.
"This is absolutely terrible."
After reading the memories, her expression was a bit annoyed.
Now there was one piece of good news, and one piece of bad news.
Good news, this isn't Frieza's territory.
Bad news, this is King Cold's territory!
King Cold was Frieza's biological father. In terms of strength, he should be weaker than Frieza, roughly around 120 million or so...
Ino looked at her base battle power, 248,000. She could now use 10 times Kaio-ken, which was equivalent to adding a zero behind her base battle power. In her limit state, she could burst out with a battle power of 2.4 million, but what use was that?
She tried to open the Crossing Moon Bridge, but the energy field in this alternate dimension was very chaotic with too much interference. Without clearing the interference, she couldn't utilize space abilities to leave.
Fortunately, she still had the trump card of summoning Bardock. First, cancel the summons at the World Martial Arts Tournament, then scatter ash, ring the bell, and open the bridge here, but this was the last resort.
If Bardock was beaten to death again, he would disappear completely.
Ino quickly made up her mind. Regardless of what King Cold was plotting, she should run first! She didn't want to throw away her little life for the sake of curiosity.
Crossing Moon Bridge was definitely the best plan for escape. To open the bridge, she had to eliminate the spatial interference here.
"Universal Pull!"
The crocodile man who hadn't gone far was grabbed back by her again. She snapped the other party's neck, then shook her shoulders, turning into the other party's appearance. Swishing her tail "thump thump", she went to patrol.
Ino used the opportunity of patrolling to search within these ruins.
Very quickly, she found seven spatial interference devices of various sizes that looked like searchlights.
She didn't rashly make a move to destroy these devices. To destroy them, she had to destroy them at the same time.
She suspected there were still devices she hadn't found here, and the target of suspicion was that giant spaceship.
Should she go in and search?
This crocodile man's status was a bit low; he couldn't enter the spaceship.
One day later, Ino took out another alien who seemed to be a scientist.
Afterward, taking advantage of when several aliens were gambling, she caused chaos and let the crocodile man character die in the melee. She sensed King Cold's position; the other party seemed to be in another direction of the ruins, a bit far away. She immediately slipped into the spaceship with fast steps.
Big. She didn't know if this spaceship was King Cold's flagship. Anyway, the internal space was ridiculously large.
The scientist Ino was disguised as had a somewhat slow pace. Unfortunately, she couldn't walk fast and could only maintain a similar stride frequency, acting like she was thinking while searching for interference devices.
"Eh?"
As she walked, she suddenly realized something seemed to be calling her.
Was it the thing King Cold was looking for, or the Otsutsuki God's thing? Or were the two actually the same thing?
The calling voice was a bit strong, faintly even interfering with her transformation ability a little. She suppressed the discomfort and searched inside the spaceship, but only found one interference device.
Searching like this was too inefficient, and that calling was making her agitated.
After repeated consideration, she followed the call to find the thing that had been calling her.
She vaguely felt this thing was very intimate with her.
She suspected it was the God Tree, or perhaps some treasure of the Otsutsuki clan.
The truth once again exceeded her expectations.
It was a huge transparent metal vessel. In the exact center of the apparatus, an anciently styled round earring was floating.
Ino's steps stagnated, looking at the round earring incredulously.
She finally knew where her sense of familiarity came from. It turned out... it was you!
She had seen this thing just a few days ago. During the Underworld Martial Arts Tournament, the Supreme Kai was wearing earrings of a similar style. This was the Supreme Kai's exclusive treasure, the Potara Earring.
The voice inside the earring seemed very happy: "Hello, judging from your aura, you are also a friend of order, right? I am the West Supreme Kai, Leila. I didn't die during the battle with Majin Buu, my body was just shattered. Now I need a portion of life force. As long as you share half, no, one-third of your life force with me, I can reshape my body. My Sacred World of the Kai has countless treasures, secret techniques, and knowledge. I am willing to share these things with you."
Ino: "..."
This scene was vaguely a bit familiar. Big sister, exactly how many pieces did your soul split into? Can you change the routine? I'm a little scared!
