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

Page 214

The only consolation was that a new data packet had appeared in the variable engine, containing information from Silver Fox's last transmission... about the existence of the "Rebel Army".

Chapter 466 A Powerful Enemy Appears Again

“Frieza and Cell…” Bulma's face paled. “Aren't they already…”

Vegeta grinned, his fighting spirit blazing: "Perfect, let me try out this new power!"

Trunks solemnly pulled up the data: "It's not just a simple resurrection. The Observers have enhanced them; their current energy level... is more than ten times what it was before."

Data streams flickered in Lin Ye's eyes: "System analysis shows that they have been implanted with a 'time energy core' that can manipulate local time flows."

Number 18 checked his weapon: "If I can kill once, I can kill a second time."

Suddenly, the entire laboratory shook violently, and an explosion was heard in the distance.

"They've arrived!" Bulma pulled up the surveillance footage, which showed that the outskirts of Xidu were engulfed in flames.

Frieza floated in the air, flicking his finger as beams of purple energy destroyed buildings. His form was no longer his usual final form, but a new form, a dark purple with black markings.

"Dear Earthlings!" Frieza's voice amplified and resounded throughout the city, "I, King Frieza, have returned! This time I bring a small gift... the power of time!"

Seru stood on the other side, his form also changed, with a pair of transparent, butterfly-like wings on his back, covered with intricate eye patterns.

“Frieza, don’t break all the toys.” Cel chuckled. “I still need some people to complete my perfect form.”

Vegeta unleashed his power and charged out, yelling, "You weaklings! Who gave you permission to run wild on my turf!"

Lin Ye shouted, "Vegeta! Wait! They have the ability to manipulate time!"

Too late. Vegeta had already rushed in front of Frieza and unleashed a punch. But Frieza merely smiled slightly and gently raised his hand.

Vegeta's movements suddenly slowed down drastically, as if he were stuck in glue.

"The Saiyan prince is still so impulsive." Frieza chuckled, kicking Vegeta several kilometers away.

Android 18 immediately flew out and caught Vegeta: "Are you alright?"

Vegeta coughed up blood: "I'm fine! What happened just now?"

"Time slowdown." Lin Ye and Trunks arrived. "He can create a localized time slowdown field."

Seru looked at Trunks with interest: "Oh? Another time anomaly. The Observer was right, you are perfect evolutionary material."

Trunks frowned: "You work for the Observer?"

“Work? No.” Seru smiled. “It’s cooperation. They give me power, and I help them test variables.”

Frieza said impatiently, "Enough nonsense! First, complete the observer's task: eliminate the principal variable, Lin Ye!"

The two looked at Lin Ye at the same time, the immense pressure making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"System, activate combat mode! Maximum power!" Lin Ye ordered.

[Variable Engine Combat Mode Activated! Time Armor Deployed!]

Golden energy surged from Lin Ye's body, forming a set of dazzling armor. Trunks entered a similar state, but his armor was blue-gold.

“Interesting,” Frieza chuckled. “But do you truly understand the power of time?”

He raised his hand, and five time-deceleration fields appeared simultaneously, completely trapping the four people.

"Now, watch yourself die slowly." Frieza conjured a giant ball of energy.

Suddenly, Android 18 fired a shot, but not at Frieza; instead, it shot into the sky. The energy blast exploded in mid-air, scattering countless nanobots.

"What is that?" Seru asked curiously.

Number 18 smiles: "Dr. Gro's last invention: the time disruptor."

The nanobots began to work, and Frieza's time-deceleration field suddenly became unstable.

"Now!" Vegeta unleashed his full power, his Super Saiyan blue aura soaring into the sky. "Taste this! Final Flash!"

The energy beam shot straight at Frieza. Cell tried to help block it, but Trunks stopped him: "Your opponent is me!"

Lin Ye charged directly at Frieza, his Time Armor granting him immunity to the remaining time effects.

"Foolish!" Frieza caught Vegeta's energy beam with one hand, and used the other to reach for Lin Ye. "Time Reversal!"

Lin Ye suddenly felt his power rapidly draining away; Frieza was reversing his timeline back to before the battle!

"System! Counter time reversal!"

[Start time anchor point! Lock current state!]

Lin Ye's power stopped dissipating, and he landed a solid punch on Frieza's face.

Frieza showed surprise for the first time: "You can actually resist time reversal?"

"The surprise is yet to come!" Lin Ye's eyes shone brightly with golden light. "Time replication!"

Another Lin Ye suddenly appeared behind Frieza and launched an attack. Caught off guard, Frieza was sent flying.

"A clone?" Frieza steadied himself. "No, a time clone!"

Meanwhile, Trunks' battle with Cell has also reached a fever pitch. Cell's wings can fire time rays, instantly aging or restoring the areas hit.

“Your Time Toxin is very interesting.” Cel licked his lips. “After absorbing it, I should be able to evolve into my perfect form!”

Trunks calmly dodged the attack: "You've got no chance. Time Lock!"

Golden chains appeared out of thin air, binding Cel firmly. But Cel simply smiled and said, "Time manipulation has no effect on me."

He easily broke free of his chains, and the eye pattern on his wings glowed red: "Time Devourer!"

Trunks felt his power being rapidly absorbed: "What?!"

Suddenly, Number 18 joined the battle, his arm transforming into an energy cannon: "Hey! Bugs! Look here!"

The moment Cel turned his head, Trunks broke free from the devouring effect: "Thank you!"

Android 18 nodded: "Focus on the battle! Vegeta needs help!"

Vegeta is engaged in a fierce battle with Frieza, but is clearly at a disadvantage. Frieza's time manipulation ability is too bizarre; every time Vegeta is about to succeed, it is neutralized by the time manipulation.

"Is that all the Saiyans are capable of?" Frieza scoffed. "The Observer said you were an important variable!"

Vegeta roared, "Don't be so cocky!" He suddenly changed tactics, no longer attacking directly, but constantly moving around. "Try and catch me if you dare!"

Frieza chuckled. "Cat and mouse? I like it." He raised his hand. "Time Cage!"

Vegeta is suddenly trapped in a time loop, endlessly repeating the same actions. Frieza slowly gathers his energy: "Goodbye, Saiyan Prince."

Just then, Lin Ye arrived: "Variable Impact!"

A golden energy beam struck the time cage, shattering the cycle. Vegeta seized the opportunity to counterattack: "Supernova Explosion!"

The immense energy engulfed Frieza. But when the smoke cleared, Frieza was unharmed, with a time shield around him.

“Useless,” Frieza sneered. “My time shield can disperse any attack into different points in time.”

Trunks shouted, "We must attack all points in time simultaneously!"

Lin Ye immediately understood: "System! Calculate the distribution parameters of the time shield!"

[Calculation in progress... 3 seconds required...]

Suddenly breaking free from Number 18's grasp, Seru charged at Lin Ye: "I won't let you succeed!"

Number 18 vehemently tried to stop them: "Don't even think about it!"

At this critical moment, an unexpected voice rang out: "Do you need help?"

Silver Fox's figure appeared in the air; although it looked somewhat illusory, it was indeed her.

"Silver Fox?" Lin Ye exclaimed in surprise, "You're not...?"

“I told you it’s a backup body.” Silver Fox smiled, taking out a peculiar device in his hand, “A time resonator, specifically designed to break through this kind of time shield.”

Frieza's expression changed: "Equipment from the Time-Space Administration? How do you have it...?"

Silver Fox pressed the button, and Frieza's time shield suddenly resonated and became unstable.

"Now!" Lin Ye shouted.

Vegeta, Trunks, and Lin Ye simultaneously launched their strongest attacks. Frieza's time shield shattered, and he was directly hit by the triple attack.

"Impossible!" Frieza screamed in agony amidst the energy surge. "How could I..."

Seeing that things were going badly, Seru tried to escape but was stopped by Number 18: "Where do you think you're going?"

Silver Fox tossed a bracelet to Number 18: "Use this! Time Lock Ring!"

Number 18 caught the bracelet, activated it, and threw it to Cel. The bracelet unfolded into a large circle, locking Cel firmly in place.

"Damn it!" Seru struggled. "The Observers won't let you get away with this!"

The silver fox landed beside Lin Ye: "It's temporarily resolved. But the Observers will be sending more people soon."

Lin Ye looked at her: "Who exactly are you?"

Silver Fox smiled: "Time and Space Administration Agent 739, codename Silver Fox... that's the official identity. The unofficial identity is a member of the 'Rebel Army,' dedicated to fighting against the tyranny of the Observers."

Trunks walked over: "The Rebels?"

Silver Fox nodded: "The Observers are not omnipotent; we have been resisting them across various timelines. Your performance has caught our attention."

Vegeta scoffed: "So it's yet another group trying to use us?"

“On the contrary,” Silver Fox said earnestly, “we want to invite you to join us in overthrowing the Watchers’ rule.”

Suddenly, the silver fox's body began to flicker: "Oh dear, this body is also reaching its limit. Consider my suggestion and give me your answer next time we meet."

Before she disappeared, she tossed Lin Ye a data chip: "This contains the coordinates of several important experimental sites for the Observer. Perhaps you'd like to 'visit' them in advance."

Lin Ye caught the chip and fell into deep thought.

Bulma's voice came through the communicator: "Everyone! The spatial rift has widened! Something's about to come out!"

Everyone looked up and saw the crack in the sky widening, and a huge shadow slowly emerged from it.

The observers' next experiment has begun, and they seem to be nothing more than pieces on a chessboard.

But Lin Ye gripped the data chip in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Who's using whom is still uncertain."
