Hearing King Vegeta's cold command, children with innocent hearts like Hyuga Hanabi from the Planet Ninja, Ash Ketchum from the Planet Pokémon, and Kagura from the Planet Amanto all showed expressions of shock and confusion.
However, any adult, especially seasoned veterans like Kyoraku, the new Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, and Makarov, the Fairy Tail's Guild Master who often dealt with the Magic Council, all lowered their heads in silence, their hearts fully understanding King Vegeta's reason for doing this.
In the video, the female Saiyans responsible for caring for the infants hadn't reacted yet upon hearing King Vegeta's words. They all showed puzzled expressions, and some even tried to dissuade him.
"W-why, Your Majesty King Vegeta?"
"Lott has shown unprecedented potential. We should nurture him carefully!"
"He will surely become the strongest warrior on Planet Vegeta!"
"Yes, he might even become the legendary Super Saiyan of our race!"
When one of the female Saiyans uttered the words 'Super Saiyan', King Vegeta's face turned even uglier.
Boom!
An energy ball shot from King Vegeta's palm, smashing the female Saiyan who spoke against the wall behind her.
She died on the spot!
The remaining female Saiyans were shocked speechless, not daring to utter another word.
"This is precisely why he's a problem."
King Vegeta said with a cold face, ignoring the wailing Goku beside him. He lifted the infant Lott by the neck with his left hand, his right palm almost pressed against Lott's chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several consecutive energy blasts bombarded point-blank against the infant Lott's body, detonating on contact.
Young girls like Erika and Xia Dou from the Planet Ling Cage, Hinata from the Planet Ninja, and Lucy from the Planet Magic covered their eyes in fright.
'Th-this is too cruel!'
'No matter what, he's just a baby!'
"The only one who can become the strongest warrior in the universe is my son, Vegeta."
Looking at the breathless infant Lott, King Vegeta snorted coldly, stating his reason for doing this.
[Natsu: This is just too despicable!]
[Alice: Exactly! No matter what, he's just a newborn child!]
[Tifa: I suddenly feel Lott didn't have it easy either, facing such targeting right after birth.]
[Ran Bing: Regardless of what he is now, what fault does a newborn baby have?]
[Erika: @Ran Bing, Ran Bing, watch your words! What do you mean 'regardless of what he is now'...]
On the Planet Ling Cage, Erika quickly jumped up to cover Ran Bing's mouth, hurriedly clicking the [Recall Message] button to prevent Lott's lackeys from seeing it.
…
In the video, the infant Lott was clearly no longer breathing, but King Vegeta still wasn't satisfied. He took a short sword from a subordinate and stabbed it directly through Lott's chest, making countless viewers' hearts shudder again.
Although they had witnessed bloody scenes in videos or live streams over the years, to lay such a heavy hand on an infant... was truly despicable.
[Genos: We must kill King Vegeta, that bastard, immediately!]
[Bulma: @Genos, Calm down, Genos. According to the future timeline, that spiky-haired uncle is long dead.]
[Genos: Then we'll use the time machine to go back to the past! I'll kill that son of a bitch!]
[Tsunade: This plot feels a bit familiar. Seems like someone in our world has done something similar too.]
In the Hokage's office on the Planet Ninja, Tsunade glanced coldly at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who were tied up and ready to be handed over to Sasuke, and sneered.
'Afraid of the younger generation growing up and threatening their own positions.'
'Wasn't this exactly what the Konoha Council of old loved to do?'
[Jiraiya: @Tsunade, Calm down, Tsunade. Don't say things that aren't conducive to unity.]
[Giovanni: Heh~ With such narrow-mindedness, no wonder the Saiyans were exterminated later.]
To tolerate subordinates is to be capable of being the boss. Giovanni understood this principle very well.
While he, Giovanni, wasn't a good person, he was absolutely qualified as a boss.
As long as you had strength, he would promote you.
What Starter Pokémon, what Pseudo-Legendaries, he'd give them directly.
For a petty approach like King Vegeta's, you deserved to be wiped out.
"Your Majesty King Vegeta, Frieza-sama is coming."
Just then, a subordinate entered the nursery and reported to King Vegeta.
"Hmm."
King Vegeta grunted in acknowledgment, glanced at the infant Lott, who had been charred black by his energy waves with a knife still stuck in his stomach, clearly showing no signs of life.
After leaving the room, he casually tossed him into the garbage dump in the backyard.
And just as King Vegeta led his subordinates away, a Saiyan couple secretly sneaked into the nursery immediately after.
On Grand Kai's planet, Son Goku's expression changed slightly.
'That's... my parents?!'
Goku's mother, Gine, picked up her younger son and looked sideways at her husband.
"Bardock, Frieza-sama... no, Frieza, will he really destroy Planet Vegeta?"
Bardock, holding a spherical spaceship, said fiercely,
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Then Bardock added, "In the future."
The couple carefully placed their newborn younger son in the spaceship and sent him off with tears in their eyes.
Then the scene shifted.
King Vegeta gathered the Saiyans to prepare for the arrival of their Frieza-sama.
Bardock, who already knew Frieza's true purpose for coming to Planet Vegeta through his premonition, charged into the sky alone to confront the Frieza Force.
Seeing this, the universal audience in front of the screens, recalling the group videos they had seen before, all showed expressions of sudden realization.
'Wow!'
'It all connects!'
'So this is what happened on Planet Vegeta over twenty years ago.'
But immediately, everyone had a curious thought-
'How did Lott, then just an infant, survive?'
'After taking so many energy blasts from King Vegeta and being stabbed through the heart with a knife, it seemed impossible for him to survive, right?!'
At this moment, the video continued.
As revealed in the previous video about the truth of Planet Vegeta's destruction, in the footage, facing the dying Bardock, Frieza in his first form raised his right index finger, a manic grin spreading across his face.
He launched a Death Ball towards Planet Vegeta.
Bardock, filled with despair and regretful resentment, was swallowed by the Death Ball, along with the entire planet below, utterly disintegrated!
[Ada Wong: How on earth did he survive?]
[Bai Yuekui: In such a perilous situation, could he still survive?]
[Historia Reiss: I thought our world was already hell, but I never imagined the environment Lott faced was ten thousand times worse than ours...]
Several female group members living on apocalyptic planets voiced their thoughts.
They had always felt their own planets were hellish enough.
Be it mutants, Sigou, or Titans, every day was truly filled with despair.
Yet compared to Lott's experience, it felt like nothing.
Beaten half to death right after birth, skewered like a kebab by a knife, and then his home planet on the verge of destruction!
Was there any more hellish start than this?
Even Eren Yeager, who was planning his own world-ending plan, felt inexplicably fortunate by comparison.
After all, no matter what, he had at least enjoyed 12 years of normal parental love.
