In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Page 133

“They’re mimicking our thought processes.” Lin Ye suddenly pressed his temple, the temperature of the crystal rising abruptly, numbing his skin. The data stream crawled along his blood vessels to his brain, bringing a sharp, stinging pain: “In the database we just cracked, there’s a project called ‘Mirror Evolution.’ They collect behavioral data from the host through the system, and then use this data to predict the self-destruction path of a civilization. Frieza’s betrayal, the Saiyans’ belligerence, even our every attempt to save the universe, are all within their calculations.”

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Vegeta's shockwave ripped away half the ruins, golden flames solidifying around him like a flowing suit of armor. He suddenly spun around, his heels slamming heavily into the ground, and charged like an arrow towards the energy vortex from which Goku had come: "Either go and steal the Dragon Balls now, or wait to be dissected by these bastards as experimental subjects!" The golden flames left a long trail of light in the void, shattering meteorites in its path into dust, tiny fragments drifting aimlessly in the vacuum.

Suddenly, Goku leaped out of the energy vortex, his golden cudgel whirling in his palm, sending up shards of metal flying everywhere. "I just saw Frieza in the spacetime rift!" he laughed, scratching his head and revealing two rows of perfect white teeth. But the smile quickly froze on his face. "That guy was actually making a deal with the Observer, saying he'd trade the Dragon Balls from Mercury for the code to immortality! He even said he'd turn us all into his collection, putting us on display in a glass case!"

"That purple sweet potato demon is asking for death!" Vegeta's tail snapped straight, the scales scraping together with a screeching sound like sandpaper scraping metal. His speed increased abruptly, golden flames tearing through the void: "It was a mistake not to grind him to dust back then!" Before he finished speaking, he had already broken the sound barrier, leaving only a trail of gradually dissipating shockwaves that rippled through the vacuum of space.

Lin Ye's crystal suddenly shattered into particles of light, reassembling into a three-dimensional star map in the air. The Dragon Ball coordinates of Universe 7 were refreshing three times per second, like a swarm of restless fireflies, eventually settling on the asteroid belt on the far side of Mercury. Even more bizarrely, each coordinate point was marked with a different timestamp, the earliest dating back fifty years, the year Vegeta first arrived on Earth, when he was still serving Frieza and personally destroying countless planets.

“Trap.” Bulma’s voice came through the communicator, mixed with static and rapid keyboard typing. Her holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ye, her blue hair disheveled and plastered to her sweaty forehead, her eyes behind her glasses bloodshot: “I hacked into the Observer’s backup server. They buried the Dragon Balls in the time rift. Anyone who goes in will be trapped in past battle scenes until their energy is drained.”

The database records that warriors from three universes have died inside. One of them was a candidate for God of Destruction from Universe 5. He was trapped in his final battle with his master. Every time his energy was exhausted, the battlefield would be forcibly reset until the last bit of his divine energy was drained by the flow of time, and even the destructive energy became nutrients in the fault line.

Lin Ye watched Vegeta's retreating figure, his rock elemental wings fluttering gently behind him, stirring up metal fragments scattered on the ground. Among the fragments was half a broken detector, its screen still displaying the final combat power values ​​of the Universe 5 candidate, plummeting from trillions to zero like a burnt-out candle. He suddenly gripped his rock spear, the crystal at its tip emitting a sharp buzzing sound, as if echoing the unseen victim.

"Stop spacing out." Android 18's mechanical arm suddenly slung over his shoulder, sparks flying from the interface onto the metal floor. "Vegeta may be sharp-tongued, but he deliberately left an energy marker on the edge of the asteroid belt just now." She pointed to a faint golden light in the distance. "That's how Saiyans mark their comrades; it's more reliable than any communicator."

As Lin Ye looked up, the crystal suddenly projected a bizarre image: the candidate of the Fifth Universe was kneeling on the ground in a time rift, his master's phantom sneering as it stepped on his divine core, and in the phantom's pupils, the observer's unique data stream clearly flowed. It turned out that the so-called "memory loop" was never a simple replay, but a hunting ground woven by the observer with data.

"We have to go." Goku's voice came from the energy vortex, his golden cudgel spinning in his palm. "I think I just saw Vegeta fighting a bunch of guys with your faces, and they were all holding rock spears just like yours!"

Lin Ye's wings suddenly flapped faster, and the resulting shockwave blew away the meteorite beneath his feet. He finally understood the true purpose of the observer imitating his face: not to humiliate him, but to create the most deadly illusion within the time rift, causing each warrior to exhaust their strength in the battle against "another self," just like the candidates of the Fifth Universe, who believed until their deaths that they had died in a fateful duel.

“Tell Vegeta,” Lin Ye said, as he rushed toward the energy vortex, the crystal bursting with a blinding light in his palm, “if you encounter an enemy who looks just like me, aim for their forehead. That’s the weakest point in the Observer’s data link, just like the void that the candidate from Universe 5 shattered in the end.”

The rock element left a long trail of light behind it, and the instant it passed through the vortex, Lin Ye seemed to hear the same gunshot echoing from countless time rifts in the universe. It was all the lives designated as "experiments" by the observers pulling the trigger at the same moment.

Chapter 307: The Will of the Pirate King

The sky above Laugh Tale looked as if it had been scrubbed clean with a rag. The dark clouds that had been gathering for countless years quickly dispersed along the horizon, and the moment the sunlight pierced through the clouds, the entire island seemed to awaken from its slumber. The vines that entwined the ancient stone tablets stretched their leaves in the beams of light, and dew rolled down the tips of the leaves, splashing into tiny droplets on the moss-covered stone surface.

Luffy squatted on the ground, clutching the treasure chest with copper studs along its edges. His straw hat was askew, revealing his sweaty forehead. He rubbed his fingers back and forth along the edge of the lid. "Hurry up, let me see what good stuff Roger has hidden!" Suddenly, his rubber arm stretched out, wrapped around the treasure chest three times, and gave it a sharp tug. The lid creaked and groaned.

"What's the rush?" Zoro leaned against a withered tree trunk, the scabbard of his Three-Sword Style sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight. He kicked the skull at his feet with his toe. "Maybe it's his leftover wine jar, or a half-eaten bone."

"Hmph, even if it's a wine jar, it's the Pirate King's wine jar!" Luffy abruptly flung open the lid of the box. As the brass hinges snapped open, several fireflies flew out, tracing pale green trails in the sunlight. The next second, however, he froze. Inside the box were no glittering gold coins, no glowing gems, only a palm-thick black stone tablet covered in crooked ancient characters, its edges bearing traces of knife cuts and fire damage.

"What the hell?!" Luffy wrinkled his nose and carried the stone tablet out. The stone tablet made a dull thud when it hit the ground, causing the surrounding sand to tremble. "This broken stone can be considered a treasure? It's not even as nice as the golden pillar I found on Skypiea last time."

Lin Ye crouched down, his fingertips barely touching the surface of the stone tablet before he trembled slightly, as if touching a red-hot iron. A warm, pulsating sensation shot through his arm and into his heart, like a surging ocean churning within his chest, carrying an undeniable aura of dominance. He ran his fingertips over the uneven inscriptions, then suddenly smiled: "This isn't an ordinary stone," he turned to Luffy, sunlight falling perfectly on the boy's upturned face, "It has Roger's Conqueror's Haki on it, even purer than yours."

"Conqueror's Haki?" Luffy's eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped the stone tablet with his palm. The heat from his palm made the stone tablet emit a slight hum. "Hey, Uncle Roger, your power is pretty awesome! It's more like ocean waves than Shanks's Haki!"

The stone tablet suddenly trembled violently, and golden patterns spread from Luffy's palm, like living vines climbing across the entire stone. Chopper, clutching his head, jumped behind Usopp, his hooves creating small craters in the ground: "Wow! It...it's alive? Is it going to turn into a monster?!"

“Idiot, this is the resonance of Haki.” Zoro drew his sword, the blade of which reflected the golden light flowing from the stone tablet. “It seems Roger foresaw this day and deliberately sealed his will here.” He suddenly turned to Lin Ye. “You seem to have known the origin of this thing all along?”

Sanji squatted down beside the box, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and kicked the empty box with the tip of his gleaming leather shoe. The metal box made a hollow echo: "Tch, I thought I'd find some jewelry to make the ladies happy. This piece of junk isn't even as good as Nami's fingernail."

"Treasure isn't those things!" Luffy slammed the stone tablet down, put his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily, his straw hat fluttering in the wind. "The true treasure hunter is the one who can inherit Roger's will! Once I understand the meaning of these words, I'll definitely be even stronger than him!"

The words had barely left his lips when a burst of wild laughter echoed from the distant cliffs, startling a flock of seabirds into flight. The remnant leader, shrouded in black mist, his bare arms covered in dark red veins, held a walnut-sized black bead, its surface still oozing a viscous black mist: "Don't be too happy! What about Roger's will? Today, you and this sea will perish together!"

"What is that?" Nami's fingers, gripping the Clima-Tact, turned white. She could feel the evil power contained within the bead, more chilling than Arlong's Fish-Man Karate, "Even more annoying than Cracker's Biscuit Soldiers!"

“The Dark Dragon Balls,” Lin Ye’s eyes darkened. He stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, a faint white light gathering at his fingertips. “They can detonate dark energy within a hundred miles. Back then, Frieza’s army used these to destroy three planets.”

"Hey! Are you guys trying to cause trouble again?" Lu Fei took a step forward, the stone slab beneath his feet cracking with spiderweb-like patterns, his straw hat swaying slightly in the wind. "This sea is mine! Nobody can run wild here!"

"Yours?" The remnant leader grinned maliciously as he crushed the black bead, black liquid dripping from between his fingers. "Disappear! Let Roger's dream turn into cosmic dust along with you all!"

Black energy surged forth like a tsunami, instantly withering vegetation and turning it a grayish-black color in its wake, even swallowing sunlight into a murky grayish-white. Chopper cried in terror, his blue nose twitching, but he still pulled out a spare Rumble Ball and stuffed it into his mouth: "I...I'll become a monster to protect everyone!" Usopp's legs spun, but he drew his slingshot to its limit, the pebble gleaming faintly red in the energy wave: "No...don't come any closer! I'm the King of Snipers, Lord Usopp!"

"Idiot, get to the back!" The moment Zoro drew his sword, three green sword energies slashed at the black mist in a triangular formation. The places where the sword energies passed left a brief vacuum, which was quickly filled and swallowed up by more black mist. He gritted his teeth and took half a step back, his tiger's mouth numb from the shock: "Damn it, this thing can absorb slashes."

Sanji kicked aside a nearby rock, the half-person-high boulder silently turning to dust before the energy wave. He suddenly turned, grabbed Nami's waist, and jumped back, his shoes leaving sparks on the ground: "Ladies, retreat to the Sunny! We'll take care of this!"

Just as the black mist was about to engulf everyone, Luffy suddenly spread his arms and stood in front. His Conqueror's Haki exploded, shooting into the sky like golden flames, creating a strange resonance with the stone tablet on the ground. The characters on the tablet lit up with a dazzling light, and golden energy climbed up from the soles of Luffy's feet, condensing into a semi-transparent barrier behind him. The surface of the barrier was also covered with the same ancient characters as those on the tablet.

"I won't let anyone destroy this sea!" Luffy's roar shook the air, his rubber body stretching and bouncing back under the energy impact. "I'm going to be the Pirate King! How can I die here!"

The black energy crashed against the barrier, emitting a piercing hiss, as if countless steel needles were piercing eardrums. Lin Ye watched Luffy's tense back, the boy's straw hat being lifted and then falling back by the energy shockwave, revealing clenched teeth. This scene suddenly reminded him of the scene on Namek many years ago, when Frieza's death beam shot towards Krillin, he too had relied on a single belief to protect him, letting his golden hair fly wildly in the energy storm.

"This guy..." Lin Ye's lips curled into a smile as he secretly channeled a wisp of the Balancing Bead's energy into the barrier. The golden barrier instantly solidified, its previously violently trembling edges stabilizing, and even the flowing characters on its surface became clearer. He could feel two different wills resonating within him: one was the Pirate King's unwavering belief that transcended time and space, and the other was a protective heart from another world.

"How is this possible..." The remnant leader's face twisted and deformed in the black mist. He frantically poured his life force into the energy wave, and his hair turned gray at a visible speed. "Roger's will combined with Conqueror's Haki, and... who exactly are you? How can you control and balance energy!"

"I am Luffy!" The boy behind the barrier smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. "The man who will soon become the Pirate King!" He suddenly took a step forward, and the golden barrier followed suit, advancing half a meter and forcibly pushing the black mist back.

The black energy gradually thinned under the continuous impact, slowly dissipating like a punctured balloon. The remnants, deprived of energy, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and were handcuffed one by one by the arriving navy personnel. Sengoku stood on the warship's deck, his cloak fluttering in the sea breeze. He looked at the straw-hatted boy grinning foolishly while clutching the stone tablet, then at the composed Lin Ye beside him, and couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you people? There's no record of you in the navy's database."

Lin Ye took out a fruit candy and tossed it into his mouth, the lemony sweetness spreading on his tongue: "Just a passing treasure hunter, like Roger back then." He looked up at the sky, where several seagulls were circling and skimming over the clouds.

“A treasure hunter?” Sengoku stared at the faintly glowing stone tablet, his brows furrowed. “That’s no ordinary treasure; it’s enough to overthrow the entire world government.”

“For us, yes.” Luffy suddenly hoisted the stone tablet onto his shoulder. The weight made him stumble, but he still smiled happily. “This is the best treasure! It makes me happier than meat!”

As the Navy escorted the remnants away, Coby ran up to Luffy, gave a somewhat awkward salute, his hat askew, and exclaimed, "Mr. Luffy, you're amazing! That golden barrier was just like the sun!"

"Of course!" Luffy thumped his chest, his rubber fist making loud "bang" sounds as he punched the air. "When I become the Pirate King, I'll be ten times stronger than this! Then I'll show you what true Conqueror's Haki is!"

As they said goodbye, Luffy suddenly opened his arms and hugged Lin Ye's waist, burying his face in his back and rubbing against him: "You have to come again! Next time we'll go to space to find treasure. I heard that the stars there can be made into cotton candy, which is a hundred times tastier than Big Mom's desserts!"

"Who wants to go to a place like that?" Zoro sheathed his sword, the sound of the scabbards clashing together crisp and pleasant, but he secretly nudged Lin Ye's arm with the hilt of his sword. "If you dare to forget, I'll chase you to the ends of the universe and slash you."

Sanji threw the burnt-out cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. He turned and went into the kitchen of the Sunny, his voice drifting out from the doorway: "Next time you come, bring some alien beauties. I'll make you space cuisine, I guarantee it'll be even more interesting than the Sky Shells from Skypiea."

"Take care, Mr. Lin Ye!" Chopper waved his little flag rapidly, his hooves still wet with the tears he had shed earlier. "I'll research and develop a cosmic miracle drug, and I'll send it to you then!"

"Don't tell anyone about our promise!" Usopp shouted on tiptoe, then suddenly pulled a seashell from behind his back and handed it to Lin Ye. "This is a Sound Shell. It records our laughter. Listen to it when you miss us!"

Lin Ye watched the slowly closing portal, the scene behind it gradually blurring like an ink painting. He could almost still hear the whistle of the Sunny, see the glint of Zoro's sword as he practiced at the bow, Sanji's busy figure in the kitchen, and the boy in the straw hat pointing at the starry sky and laughing, his rubber arms stretched out as if to grab the stars.

Upon returning to Earth, the red alert at the Ark Space Station had just been lifted. Lin Ye placed the stone tablet next to the balance bead, and the two stones from different worlds simultaneously emitted a faint glow. The golden and blue light intertwined, casting flowing light spots on the control panel.

“These two things seem to get along quite well.” The researcher in charge of guarding the space station pushed up his glasses and clicked his tongue in amazement. “When the dark energy erupted just now, the entire space station was shaking, and the main control system almost collapsed. It was thanks to the bead you brought back that the core was stabilized.” He suddenly lowered his voice. “The Alliance’s higher-ups are already discussing whether to classify this thing as top secret.”

Lin Ye gazed at the Earth through the porthole. The blue planet looked like a teardrop in the sea of ​​stars, with clouds drifting slowly as it rotated. He could almost hear the whistle of the Sunny coming from the distant sea, see the green-haired swordsman practicing his sword at the bow, the curly-browed cook busy in the kitchen, and the boy in the straw hat pointing at the starry sky and laughing.

Perhaps one day, when an even more terrible crisis arrives, these beliefs scattered across various worlds will, like the starlight at this moment, converge into a galaxy illuminating the universe. Lin Ye suddenly remembered Luffy's promise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He took out his communicator and sent a message to the Interstellar Alliance: "Keep an eye out for any cosmic treasures, especially stars that can be made into cotton candy. Also, prepare the fastest spaceship and set its coordinates to the edge of the Milky Way."

As the notification of successful delivery popped up, the sound detonator next to the control panel suddenly went off, emitting Luffy's loud laughter, Zoro's sarcastic remarks, the sound of Sanji lighting a cigarette, and the bickering of Chopper and Usopp. Lin Ye put the sound detonator in his pocket, turned around, and walked towards the space station's landing pad. Sunlight streamed through the porthole onto him, resembling the golden light of Laugh Tale.

Chapter 308: Crisis in Everyday Life

Dust billowed from the training ground on the outskirts of Satan City. Xiao Fang's pink training uniform clung to her back in the wind. She clenched her little fists, her cheeks flushed red: "Grandpa, look! I'm sure I can hit it this time!"

Lin Ye chuckled as he stood ten meters away, a wisp of pale blue energy gathering at his fingertips: "Try again, and remember to let the energy follow your fist."

Xiao Fang leaped into the air with a sudden burst of energy, her short legs arcing through the air as her fist slammed into the wisp of air with a whooshing sound. Just as it was about to hit, the wisp of air suddenly dissipated, and she lost control of her momentum, crashing onto the sand with a "thud," the sand particles sticking to the tip of her nose.

"Ouch!" The little girl sat up angrily, brushing the sand off her skirt. "Grandpa cheated again!"

"There's no such thing as cheating in battle." Lin Ye walked over and picked her up, wiping the sand from the tip of her nose with his fingertips. "Controlling your qi must be like flowing water, capable of both penetrating stone and bypassing obstacles."

His voice suddenly stopped, and the energy bracelet on his wrist suddenly became hot, with the red warning light flashing rapidly. On the holographic screen projected by the bracelet, the waveform representing dark energy was fluctuating violently like a heartbeat.

"What's wrong?" Xiaofang tugged at his collar, her little head close to the screen. "Is this wavy line dancing?"

Lin Ye's gaze darkened, and his fingers rapidly zoomed in on the coordinates on the screen: "It's not dancing, it's a danger signal." The red dot on the screen was located underground in Satan City, and its energy frequency closely matched that of the Dark Dragon Ball from last time. "Strange, it was clearly cleared up..."

Alice's virtual image suddenly popped up on the bracelet, with blue data flowing around her: "An abnormal energy source has been detected 300 meters underground, of the same origin as the Dark Dragon Ball. Its intensity is only 0.3% of the previous one, but its stability is extremely high, and it is slowly spreading." A red line lit up on the 3D map outlined the silhouette of an abandoned laboratory. "According to the city's archives, it was a secret research base twenty years ago, which was sealed off due to an energy leak."

"Grandpa?" Xiaofang tugged at his hand. "Is he a bad person?"

Just as Lin Ye was about to answer, two shockwaves suddenly swept in from the horizon, the resulting wind pressure causing the flags on the training ground to flutter wildly. Goku landed on his Flying Nimbus, his orange martial arts uniform still covered in grass. He scratched his head and laughed, "Lin Ye! Heard something fun happened? Vegeta and I were sparring on the western mountaintop when we sensed some strange energy and came running!"

Vegeta landed on a nearby rock, the shoulder armor of his dark blue battle suit still bearing dents from the impact. He snorted coldly, "Idiot Kakarot, that's a fluctuation of dark energy, nothing to be amused about." He glanced at the bracelet on Lin Ye's wrist, "Its strength is pitifully low, probably not even enough for me to warm up."

"Daddy! Uncle Vegeta!" Xiaofang jumped down from Lin Ye's arms and ran towards the two of them with open arms. "Are you going to fight bad guys? Can you take me with you?!"

"Of course I'll bring her!" Wukong bent down and lifted her above his head. "I'll show you Daddy's new move later!"

“No.” Lin Ye put away the bracelet. “It’s too dangerous there. Xiao Fang needs to stay in a safe place.”

"But..."

"Listen to me." Lin Ye ruffled her hair and turned his gaze to Wukong. "The energy source is in the underground laboratory; it might be a fragment left behind by the Observer."

Vegeta scoffed, "Finally, I have a chance to clean this up completely, so it won't bother us like flies." He leaped up first, his blast kicking up a cloud of dust. "Hurry up, don't waste time."

The underground passages of Satan City were damp and cold, with water pipes dripping from the walls, forming small puddles on the floor. Lin Ye used his energy to cut open the rusty iron door; the sound of metal scraping echoed through the passage, and an eerie purple light emanated from the laboratory at the end.

“This is it.” Alice’s image appeared at the doorway. “According to the scan, the energy source is in the central incubation chamber, and the surrounding equipment has been assimilated.”

The glass culture chamber in the laboratory was half shattered, and the pale green nutrient solution flowed down the cracks to the floor, corroding honeycomb-like pores in the cement. A ball of black, viscous liquid, about the size of a basketball, floated in the center, its surface constantly bubbling and bursting. Each time a bubble burst, a piece of the nearby metal equipment would be silently gnawed away.

"What is this?" Wukong leaned closer to examine it, and just as his finger was about to touch the cabin wall, Lin Ye grabbed him.

"Don't touch it." Lin Ye pointed to the edge of the slime, where the steel bars were melting at a visible speed. "It's an energy fragment that leaked out through the dimensional rift when the Observer was destroyed, and it's absorbing the surrounding matter to evolve."

The black slime suddenly surged violently, stretching out into tentacles and lunging straight at Xiaofang, who was closest to it. She had followed along at some point and was squatting by the door counting ants.

"Watch out!" Lin Ye instantly teleported in front of Xiao Fang, his Super Saiyan Blue aura erupting with a roar, a golden and blue light barrier blocking his path. The tentacles struck the light barrier with a sizzling sound, but failed to advance an inch.

"Who told you to come along?" Lin Ye's voice was filled with anger, but he still kept Xiao Fang tightly behind him.

"I...I want to help..." The little girl clutched his clothes, her eyes red-rimmed. "Daddy said that only brave children can become warriors."

The black slime suddenly split into several tentacles, attacking the three people in the laboratory simultaneously. Vegeta dodged to the side, a deep blue energy ball condensing in his palm: "You ignorant fools!" He hurled the energy ball, but it was completely swallowed up the slime the moment it hit it, and the slime's volume actually increased.

"Damn it! It can absorb energy!" Vegeta frowned and stepped back. "This thing is even more troublesome than Frieza's energy absorption device."

Just as Goku's Kamehameha was fully formed, Lin Ye stopped him, saying, "Don't use energy attacks! It will only make it stronger!"

The black slime seemed to understand their conversation, suddenly emitting a sharp buzzing sound. All the metal fragments in the laboratory were drawn to it, forming a swirling metal storm around it. The slime swelled to the size of a car, then abruptly condensed into a giant hand and slammed towards Xiaofang at the door.

"Xiao Fang!" Wukong instantly transformed into Super Saiyan Blue and used his body to block in front of him. The moment the giant hand slapped on his back, he groaned and flew backward, crashing into the wall and sliding to the ground.

"Dad!" Xiao Fang cried out in fright.

"Kakarot!" Vegeta's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly rushed towards the load-bearing pillar in the corner of the laboratory. "Lin Ye! Cover me!" His shockwave exploded, not attacking the slime, but precisely hitting the weak point of the pillar.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Ye threw out an energy blade, temporarily forcing back the slime's attack.

"Use your brain!" Vegeta's fists pounded against the pillars, sending cement debris flying. "Since energy is useless, let's use physical attacks!" As his last punch landed, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, and tens of tons of rock pinned the slime down underneath.

The black slime writhed wildly within the pile of stones, black threads seeping from the cracks in the rocks, threatening to break through the blockade once more. Lin Ye, watching the struggling slime, suddenly recalled the stone tablet of Laugh Tale: "It can absorb energy, but it may not be able to absorb faith."

"Belief?" Goku got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "I know! Use the Spirit Bomb!" He looked up at the sky and slowly raised his hands, "The Spirit Bomb can absorb everyone's energy, but more importantly, it carries everyone's hope. This thing definitely can't absorb it!"

"Using this trick again?" Vegeta crossed his arms and turned his face away, but secretly released his ki. "What an old trick... but this time you actually have some brains."
