Just then, an engine sound, similar to an airplane taking off, came from the clouds above them.
But the commotion was hundreds of times more exaggerated than an airplane!
"A spaceship like Frieza's!?"
The tone of countless people in the Universe Chat Room was filled with strong disbelief.
That's right. The disc-shaped spaceship descending from the sky was identical to the one they saw in Goku's live stream yesterday!
Just before landing, the ship's landing gear at the bottom of the disc opened like crab legs.
They dug fiercely into the soil, causing the earth to rumble.
"It can't really be the Ginyu Force, can it?"
Lott stood up with a laugh and walked towards the spaceship.
"No. You should be satisfied."
Big T followed closely behind Lott.
In the distance, the spaceship's hatch opened automatically.
Large numbers of aliens in armor, holding thermal weapons, ran down the steps and stood in two rows to welcome their ruler.
Everything was exactly like Goku's live stream yesterday.
And the person who emerged from the spaceship next...
"This guy... I remember he's Frieza's... called... what was it again?"
Lott narrowed his eyes slightly, trying hard to recall for a moment, but still couldn't remember the other's specific name.
"Cooler. Frieza's older brother."
Big T, standing behind and to the right, explained promptly.
The chat group exploded.
'F-Frieza, that monster, has a brother!?'
'There are two such monsters in the universe!?'
'Frieza, the younger brother, has a combat power of 530,000.'
'Then what about this older brother? 630,000? Or 730,000!?'
If Lott heard these thoughts, he would have retorted, 'Couldn't you guess a bigger number?'
…
"Heh, I never thought I'd encounter the same situation as Frieza."
Standing on the steps, not yet off the ship, Cooler saw Lott and Big T standing opposite him. A trace of mockery appeared on his cold face.
"Do Saiyans have a custom of seeking their own death?"
Although his personality didn't like speaking or arguing in the group-
He often observed secretly.
His little brother Frieza had faced interception by Bardock and that Goku twice in a row.
He never expected to encounter it himself.
He even wondered if Saiyans all like playing this trick.
"So that's it. The younger brother goes for Earth's Dragon Balls, and the older brother comes for Planet Terra's? I really didn't expect that."
Although Lott said this, his tone didn't carry much regret. Instead, he seemed somewhat amused.
'Sure enough, life needs some unknown elements to be interesting.'
"Originally, I just planned to rule this planet like Frieza, then wait four years for the Dragon Balls to be usable again. If you hid in some monkey mountain and didn't come out, I didn't plan to do anything to you. But since you've proactively appeared before me, I'll just send you to-"
Thud-
Before Cooler could finish the last word 'die'.
Lott, standing nearly a hundred meters away, had already vanished from his spot.
A deafening dull thud sounded.
Immediately after, the spaceship, identical to Frieza's, was sent flying backward, crashing into a mountain wall behind.
Cracks madly spread in all directions.
The next second, the entire mountain collapsed into fragments.
The three core members of the Cooler Force, who stood beside Cooler, with status comparable to Frieza's top officers, Salza, Dore, and Neiz, were still standing there motionless.
It wasn't until they heard the noise and realized their king had suddenly disappeared that they finally reacted.
The three aliens, with an average combat power around 18,000, turned their necks mechanically towards the center.
They found their boss had vanished from his spot at some point.
When they turned their heads again, what they saw was a swishing tail, the signature of a Saiyan!
And Lott, now standing in Cooler's original position, maintained a high-kicking pose, as if he had just kicked something away.
"Y-You bastard!?"
A full ten seconds passed before Salza and the other two finally reacted.
They quickly assumed fighting stances.
In the next instant, they attacked Lott with a straight punch, a chop kick, and an energy cannon respectively.
But the moment they launched their attacks, they felt as if their hands had hit air.
Immediately after, they noticed in their vision that Lott's body seemed to be rising.
'Wh-What's going on?'
In less than a second, the three realized.
It wasn't Lott's body rising, but their own bodies descending!
And under the gaze of countless viewers in the live stream.
Big T, who had appeared behind the three at some unknown time, was slowly sheathing his sword.
Swish-
The blade rubbed against the inside of the scabbard, producing a pleasant sliding sound.
Clink~
And the moment the blade was fully sheathed, making a crisp sound.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The bodies of the three core members of the Cooler Force were cut in half at the waist.
The next second, the upper halves of the three fell to the ground in unison.
[Unohana Retsu: He... when did he draw his sword?]
[Ichimaru Gin: Is it my imagination? Although only a little bit, when he sheathed his sword, it vaguely reminded me of Captain Aizen.]
[Erza Scarlet: Th-These two... when did they make their moves? I... I completely missed it.]
[Rebecca: Oh my god... I originally thought Planet Terra's situation was similar to Earth's. Even with Lott here, I thought the situation wouldn't be much better than Earth's... I... I was too young, too naive...]
Rebecca's words echoed the thoughts of most.
Right now, Earth had become a living hell under the attack of the Frieza Force.
Since Planet Terra faced the same crisis, people in the group thought that even with Lott present and Planet Terra wouldn't turn into the miserable state of Earth, at least thousands or even millions would die, right?
But reality was the complete opposite of their predictions!
…
With the three core officers on the scene instantly killed, the surrounding small fry need not be mentioned.
They were all dumbfounded.
They thought they were coming to a beginner village, but ended up in an abyss-level dungeon!?
Big T turned his cold gaze towards these underlings.
A few of them, swept by his gaze, retreated in fear.
A few others turned and tried to run desperately.
Big T suddenly brought the fingertips of both hands together, forming a triangle shape.
A golden energy sphere erupted forth.
A golden explosion shot into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud over the area!
In an instant, the Cooler Force was reduced to just Cooler alone!
[Kurosaki Ichigo: You guys are the ones invading, right?]
No wonder Ichigo felt this way.
After all, the plot development was completely different from what they had anticipated!
It's too dominant!
How long had the battle been going on?
And they had already turned the cosmic army into swiss cheese!
Boom!!!
Just then, a deafening explosion sounded from the direction of the distant spaceship.
Cooler descended slowly from the flames.
"It seems... I underestimated you, monkey."
Cooler, who had flown back, hovered in the air using Flight Technique, looking down at Lott and Big T from above.
He raised his hand and wiped the broken skin on his cheek where Lott had kicked him with his thumb.
Cooler then said expressionlessly:
"Aside from when I fought my father as a child, you are the first to leave even dust on me."
Lott grinned as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He pulled out a mirror from who-knows-where, held it up to himself, pinched his chin, and admired himself:
"Don't be ridiculous. My son isn't that ugly. Just look at me and you'll know."
"Agreed."
Big T also drew his sword, using the blade as a mirror, and nodded at his reflection.
Whooosh-!!!
Terrifying energy erupted from Cooler's body, shooting skyward.
It pierced the sky above, shooting straight into the galaxy.
Across who-knows-how-many light-years, even those who couldn't use Ki but possessed Observation Haki from the Planet Pirate, or Beast Breathing perception like Inosuke, or combatants in the South Galaxy skilled in sensory abilities-
At this moment, their faces turned extremely pale, feeling as if their souls were being sucked out.
'C-Completely not on the same level!'
"Wh-What's going on? This power..."
On the Planet Pirate, Ace, who had just buried Luffy and sensed this ki through Observation Haki, fell to his knees.
This confused Zoro, Sanji, and others who didn't yet have Observation Haki.
"Ace, is your Observation Haki that good? You can sense it across several planets?"
Usopp asked curiously.
During their time together, they had learned about the three types of Haki.
Ace gave Usopp a look as if looking at an idiot!
'Moron! Of course I can't sense that far!'
'It's because this aura is too strong!'
'So strong that even a weakling like me can feel it!'
In fact, it's like why can people see the sun even though it's so far away
Is it because human eyes can see far?
It's because the damn sun is too big!
