Chapter 136: An Accidental Encounter with Cooler's Armored Squadron
"Ah, how frustrating!"
Sabo, Dodoria, and the others at the scene were all stunned—their expressions frozen in disbelief, jaws nearly dropping to the floor.
So, what the hell had just happened? What was going on here? Why had a random Saiyan suddenly appeared and defeated Lord Frieza?
Once Lin Qi blasted through a section of the spaceship and left, Sabo was the first to rush over and shove the barely breathing Frieza into a medical pod.
"Lord Frieza…"
Staring at Frieza submerged in healing fluid, Sabo and Dodoria looked at each other in dismay. What were they supposed to do now?
Should they still head to Namek? But even if they wanted to, Lord Frieza was in no condition to go anywhere!
By a sheer stroke of coincidence, Lin Qi's punch had just happened to delay Frieza's departure to Namek.
And during that brief half hour, both Goku and Vegeta had achieved Super Saiyan. But by then, Lin Qi had already completely lost interest.
After dropping the two of them off on Namek, Lin Qi stopped paying attention altogether. As for who would end up defeating Frieza…
Lin Qi didn't care. According to Whis, his dream of establishing a Saiyan Kingdom was now dead.
As for his two little underlings, Raditz and Nappa, Lin Qi figured they might as well stay on Earth from now on.
Once they became Super Saiyans, he'd come back to check on them.
Looking dejected, Lin Qi returned—but he was in no mood to use Instant Transmission to go back to Universe 6.
Instead, he aimlessly wandered from planet to planet, trying to vent his frustration.
Eventually, he arrived at an unfamiliar planet. Watching spaceship debris rain down from the sky, he was slightly puzzled.
"Oh no… it's space pirates!!"
"Run! Even the Galactic Patrol couldn't stop them!!"
"Escape to the west! There are no pirate ships over there..."
In a flash, Lin Qi saw countless ships—large and small—swarming across the vast horizon.
A massive shadow loomed over him. Looking up in confusion, he saw an enormous mothership descending through the atmosphere.
"Did I just switch over to a sci-fi war channel?" Lin Qi muttered, puzzled. That couldn't be right—wasn't he still in the Dragon Ball world?
Lin Qi quickly scanned the energy inside the massive ship. There weren't many strong ones.
The strongest were only in the hundreds of thousands in battle power. Why was this planet's civilization so terrified?
"All inhabitants of this planet, hear me! I, Sauzā, commander of Cooler's Armored Squadron, am here under orders from Lord Cooler to colonize this world!"
"Prepare your galactic credits for collection!"
His voice was arrogant—absurdly arrogant—and it echoed across the entire planet, sending the alien civilians into even greater panic as they scrambled to flee.
"Run! That's Cooler's Armored Squadron! Their power levels are in the hundreds of thousands!!"
"Why... isn't this the North Galaxy? Didn't we already pay Frieza a ton of money? Isn't Cooler based in the Eastern galaxies?!"
"Ugh… don't forget what race Frieza and Cooler belong to… Just run!"
"Cooler… Frieza's older brother," Lin Qi muttered with a cold smirk as he looked up.
If he couldn't kill Frieza, then killing his brother—Cooler—would do just fine.
Whis never said anything about not killing Cooler. And besides, this guy wasn't some representative of a God of Destruction.
The mothership's doors opened. A flamboyant figure with bleached yellow-white hair, wearing one of Frieza's signature scouters—that was Sauzā, one of Cooler's men.
As for the lizard-faced one and the green-skinned brute beside him, Lin Qi couldn't be bothered to remember their names. They were nothing more than grasshoppers to him.
The lizard one raised a device to his mouth, shouting, "I advise you all to cooperate. Don't resist!"
"Lord Cooler will soon descend upon this galaxy. Consider yourselves honored!"
Lin Qi had been itching for a fight to vent his mood, but just then, two small patrol ships burst down through the atmosphere.
"Galactic Patrol here! You space pirates won't escape!!"
As the two ships opened, Lin Qi glanced over indifferently. No Jaco, no Merus.
Sauzā scoffed at the Galactic Patrol officers. "Trash. Even your Galactic King is trash!"
"Yeah, just a bunch of trash!" the lizard and brute echoed with sneers.
As they mocked, Sauzā casually threw a ki blast at the patrol ships.
In the blink of an eye, the two ships exploded—taking the patrol officers with them.
"What a waste of time!" Sauzā sneered as he descended toward the ground, glaring at the trembling aliens. "Who's in charge here?"
"Don't waste our time. If Lord Cooler gets here and you haven't submitted, it'll be total annihilation!"
A frail, elderly alien hobbled out from the crowd with a cane, trembling as he spoke.
"P-please… don't exterminate us… we surrender!"
With a glance from him, several strong aliens carried over a box and placed it in front of him.
"This is… all our galactic credits. Please… please accept it!"
"Hmph, at least you know your place. Tell the others to keep raising funds—we're beginning our colonization!" Sauzā said with satisfaction, clearly pleased with the old alien's obedience.
At that moment, Lin Qi silently landed behind Sauzā and his two subordinates, his presence unnoticed by all.
"So this is how you 'colonize' a planet? Looks easy enough. You really do have the vibe of common bandits."
"Who's there?!" Sauzā snapped, spinning around and instantly going on alert as he spotted Lin Qi. "Who are you? Why are you on this planet?!"
The lizard and the brute quickly activated their scouters.
"Tch…" The lizard scoffed. "Just some nobody with a power level of a few tens of thousands?"
The brute sneered, his face full of disdain. "You think you can cause trouble with power like that? Do you even realize how strong we are?"
"Just asking to die!" he growled, charging at Lin Qi with a powerful punch, aiming to finish him in one blow.
"Heh…" Sauzā and the lizard sneered coldly, fully expecting to see Lin Qi die.
"Beep—beep—"
But before their smiles could even form, Sauzā's scouter let out an urgent alarm.
When Sauzā saw the exact power level reading, his face went pale with shock as he reached out desperately.
"Dore! Get back—his power level just spiked!!"
"What—?!"
