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

Page 3

"I'll try."

A cold voice came from the top of the mothership. Lin Ye looked up and saw a man clad in silver armor slowly descending, the Kurdish king's emblem embroidered on his cloak. The man raised his hand, and a laser beam grazed past Lin Ye's ear, leaving a charred hole in the ground.

"Who are you?" Lin Ye frowned, but the system scan showed "Insufficient data".

“Dares, the first general under the Kurdish throne.” The man pulled off his cloak, revealing the energy core on his chest. “I originally wanted to wait until you and the mechanical legion were both severely injured, but it seems I overestimated you.”

Lin Ye grinned, his fighting spirit blazing: "Finally, a worthy opponent has arrived. System, activate 'Kaioken x3'!"

[WARNING! Using Kaioken x3 will cause irreversible damage to the body! Continue?]

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lin Ye felt like magma was flowing through his veins, and every breath was excruciatingly painful. Darles had already rushed in front of him, and he gritted his teeth to meet him. The moment their fists collided, the ground cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures.

“Interesting.” Darles’ expression shifted for the first time. “But that’s all!” He clasped his hands together, an energy ball coalescing in his palms: “Die! Stellar Crusher!”

Lin Ye stared at the dazzling ball of light when he suddenly heard a system notification: [Space-time fluctuation detected! The mysterious man's energy has reappeared!] He whirled around and saw a dark blue sword light slashing down from the void, aimed straight at his back!

"Watch out!" a cry of alarm rang out from the crowd. Lin Ye instinctively dodged to the side, the sword light grazing his shoulder and leaving charred marks on his combat suit. Darles' energy ball, however, took the opportunity to strike, and he narrowly rolled away to avoid it. A huge explosion resounded behind him, the shockwave propelling him forward.

"A double attack?" Lin Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Darles and the suddenly appearing mysterious man, and suddenly laughed, "Well done! Today, I will take on the entire army single-handedly!"

The mysterious figure raised his energy sword, Darles re-condensed his energy sphere, and the mechanical legion surrounded him once more. Lin Ye took a deep breath, his golden aura surging to its peak, even dyeing the distant clouds gold. He clenched his fists, feeling the boiling blood within him—in this battle, either he would die, or the entire legion would perish.

[Ding! Host's fighting spirit has exceeded its limit, unlocking hidden skill: [Working Spirit? Ultimate Burst]!]

[Skill Effect: Increases all attributes by 500% for 3 minutes; inflicts a deep coma after battle (duration random)]

"Come on!" Lin Ye roared as he charged towards the enemy ranks. "Let me see how many working souls' wrath you can withstand!"

Darles' energy ball and the mysterious man's sword light attacked simultaneously. Lin Ye did not retreat but advanced, his fist meeting the attack with the force of breaking through the wind—this was a high-stakes gamble with his life on the line, and he was already prepared to go all in.

Chapter 7: Father and Son Team Fight

"Huh? Mechanical toys dare to block the way?" Lin Ye cracked his knuckles like firecrackers. Before he finished speaking, a golden light tore through the clouds—Sun Wukong, dragging a bleeding tail, plummeted to the ground, his battle suit revealing scabbed wounds through the holes.

"Hey, what happened to the one-on-one fight?" Sun Wukong grinned, his tiger teeth stained with blood. "I smelled gunpowder in Korin Tower and knew you'd gotten into trouble again!"

"Perfect timing!" Lin Ye's pupils reflected the densely packed mechanical army in the distance, and a system notification exploded in his mind: [Enemy quantity detected: 2876 units! Suggesting activation of "Working Spirit 996 Mode"]

"How long can Super Saiyan mode last?" He swung three energy blasts backhand, blasting the front row of robots into a rain of parts.

"I don't know!" Sun Wukong's golden aura surged, and his hair stood on end like steel needles. "But as long as Earth exists—"

"—It's not up to these alien scum to run wild!" the two shouted in unison, the sound waves causing dust to fall from the ruins.

Lin Ye formed hand seals, and ice crystals spread from his palms to the ground: "Ice Prison Technique? Extreme Cold Domain!" A dark blue cage rose from the ground, freezing three hundred mechanical troops into icicles. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sun Wukong leaped up, gathering energy in his palms into blue-white orbs of light: "Kamehameha!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, Lin Ye suddenly caught a glimpse of a flaw in the golden light—behind Sun Wukong, the Kurd King's energy gun was slowly aiming.

"Watch out!" As Lin Ye lunged forward, the laser grazed his shoulder, and the smell of burning flesh mixed with blood assaulted his nostrils. He staggered, pushed Sun Wukong aside, and turned to face the twisted face of the Kurdish King.

"Scum!" The Kurdish king's roar made the mothership tremble. "You killed my son and destroyed my fleet—today you two must pay the price!" Behind him, thousands of mechs deployed in a diamond formation, their cannons humming as they charged up, the dark red light turning the sky blood red.

Sun Wukong wiped his mouth and stood up, his eyes serious for the first time: "Lin Ye, this guy's energy... is stronger than Frieza's?"

"So what if I'm strong?" Lin Ye ripped off his burnt sleeve, revealing throbbing golden veins on his forearm. "System, activate 'Rage Extraction'!"

[Ding! Extracting current rage points: 78%! Converted into combat power increase: 156%!]

The Kurdish king raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing thousands of laser beams that pierced the air. Lin Ye suddenly grinned, grabbed Sun Wukong's wrist, and leaped into the air: "Old Sun, ever played doubles?"

"What?" Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, he felt himself being flung towards the rain of laser beams. His instinctive reaction caused him to instantly condense an energy blast and forcefully smash through the gap in the beams.

"Now!" Lin Ye flipped in mid-air, his legs slamming into the mothership's deck like steel. Amidst flying concrete debris, he precisely struck the Kurd King's energy core: "My turn!"

"Don't be so smug!" King Kurd swept his tail, sending Lin Ye flying dozens of meters. "You think you can rely solely on Kakarot—"

"boom!"

A golden blur suddenly appeared behind him. Sun Wukong grazed past his ear, the force of his fist tearing off half of his ear: "And what about me!"

Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Ye landed and pressed his palms to the ground: "System, exchange for 'Saiyan Resonance'!"

[Consumed 2000 Evolution Points! Triggered "Sun Family Bloodline Resonance", increasing combat power synchronization rate by 40%!]

The two beings' golden auras suddenly merged, forming an energy vortex a hundred meters in diameter. King Kurd's detectors flashed wildly, and a red alarm blared throughout the army: "Impossible! This aura... is even more terrifying than a Super Saiyan!"

"The worst is yet to come!" Lin Ye caught the energy blast Sun Wukong threw at him, the two energies spinning wildly in his palm. "Let's taste our combined technique—"

"Beat up the Spirit Bomb!"

With a deafening roar, the entire battlefield was engulfed in golden light. The Kurdish King's mothership was torn apart like a paper toy, and the mechs were reduced to dust in the shockwave.

As the dust settled, Lin Ye knelt on one knee, sweat dripping from his chin after deactivating his Super Saiyan form. Goku shook his aching arm, looking at the smoking wreckage in the distance: "Is this guy... dead?"

"It's not that easy." Lin Ye looked up, his pupils contracting—Kurd King dragged his mangled body to his feet, the energy core in his chest flashing an ominous red light. "He's going to self-destruct!"

"Everyone evacuate!" Sun Wukong grabbed Lin Ye and shot into the sky. Behind them came the Kurdish King's sinister laughter: "Let's all go to hell together! Ah—"

Amidst the deafening explosion, Lin Ye felt the system vibrate wildly: [Warning! Spacetime rift detected!] He turned his head and saw the figure of a mysterious black-robed man emerging from the explosive light of the Kurd King.

"Again?" Lin Ye gritted his teeth, but was unable to move due to energy depletion. At the critical moment, a purple figure suddenly entered the battlefield—Vegeta's tail swept across his cheek, his eyes showing an unusual anxiety: "Don't die, Earth grunt! My only opponent is Goku!"

The next second, the three were thrown a thousand meters by the blast wave. When Vegeta landed, his battle suit was tattered, but he still held his head high: "Tch...who wants to save you? I just didn't want Kakarot to get away with it!"

Lin Ye and Sun Wukong exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously. In the distant ruins, the remains of the Kurdish King had completely cooled, while in the depths of the sky, a ghostly blue sword light flashed—a warning left by the mysterious man.

[Ding! Battle over! You have gained 8000 Evolution Points!]

[Unlock Title: King of Father-Son Duo Fights (When fighting alongside Sun Wukong, all attributes +20%)]

[New Quest Triggered: Investigate the Source of the Time Rift, Reward: Super Dragon Ball Fragment x1]

Lin Ye wiped the blood from his face and stood up. Looking at Vegeta's awkward profile, he suddenly remembered the system notification about "cosmic reputation." Perhaps, this arrogant Saiyan prince would soon become the first ally of his "working empire"?

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Omni-King's palace, a golden figure twirled a crystal ball, a playful smile curving his lips: "Interesting ants, your performance... has only just begun."

Chapter 8: Reputation System Activated

Lin Ye's knuckles slammed into King Kurd's face, warm blood splattering onto his goggles and staining the distant starry sky crimson. Three days ago, he was just a lowly office worker on the night shift at a convenience store, but now he stood covered in blood, his foot planted on the chest of a space pirate—all because of that blue screen that suddenly popped up in the dead of night: "Cosmic Reputation System successfully bound, host receives newbie gift pack: Saiyan Bloodline (Beginner)."

"Speak!" Lin Ye grabbed the other man by the horns and slammed him against the rock. The static from the Earth command center came through the earpiece. "Why is scum like you on the escape list of the Seventh Universe Prison?"

King Kurd coughed up two blood-stained fangs, a whistling, leaky laugh escaping his throat: "You little brat... you think killing me will stop the 'Twilight Protocol'? Take a look at your system notifications."

Suddenly, the holographic wristwatch flashed red light, and Lin Ye caught a glimpse of the reputation counter jump from 9998 to 10000, accompanied by a golden pop-up window exploding on his retina:

"Ding! Your Cosmic Reputation Points have exceeded 10000, unlocking the SS-rank skill 'Kaioken' (can increase combat power by 3-10 times, side effect: vital signs overload)"

Should we start learning immediately?

"Learn!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his palms. Blue light spread from his wristwatch throughout his body. He heard his bones crackling and his muscle fibers vibrating violently at the cellular level. When the first wisp of the King of the Realms burst forth, the lunar dust beneath his feet was blasted into the sky, forming a circular shockwave with a diameter of 100 meters.

"This...this is the Kaioken?!" King Cold's pupils contracted to pinpoints, his tail coiling into a spiral of fear. "How could you possess a forbidden Saiyan technique?!"

"Now it's your turn to answer the question." Lin Ye's voice was deep and wild, and he unleashed a powerful dragon punch to the opponent's abdomen. The Kurd King's energy shield shattered instantly, and he was blasted into the crater like a rag doll. Amidst the flying debris, Lin Ye caught a glimpse of the communicator on the opponent's waist flashing—a muffled synthesized electronic voice came through the channel: "Coordinates locked, fleet entering warp state."

"Want to call for reinforcements?" Lin Ye stomped his foot on the ground, and the boulders at the edge of the crater shattered. With a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, he grabbed the Kurd King's tail and used it as a weapon to sweep across the entire asteroid belt: "Tell me first, who gave you the audacity to invade the solar system?"

"Ha...hahahaha!" Blood trickled from the Kurdish king's mouth, yet he laughed so hard he almost fell over. "You think you're a hero? Those Earthlings calling you 'savior' on the live stream are nothing but lambs to the slaughter—ah!"

The excruciating pain from the fractured coccyx caused him to scream like a pig being slaughtered. Only then did Lin Ye notice a pea-sized protrusion on the back of the other man's neck, its metallic sheen faintly visible in the moonlight—a sign of a biochip implant.

"You've been modified?" Lin Ye conjured a blade of energy at his fingertips and precisely sliced ​​open the back of the other man's neck. A chip glowing blue was exposed, etched with a string of tadpole-shaped symbols—the "slave marks" circulating in the cosmic black market.

King Kurd suddenly convulsed, his eyes rolling back: "Master, Mastermind... no! I didn't say anything!"

Lin Ye's pupils constricted sharply. He had seen similar cases in the "Cosmic Wanted List": creatures modified by the mysterious "main brain" would lose their autonomy and become absolutely obedient killing machines. As he tried to read the chip data, King Kurd suddenly revealed a strange smile, and a voice that did not belong to him emanated from his throat: "Too late, the Third Fleet has already entered the Ultra Galaxy."

Intense spatial fluctuations came from above. Lin Ye looked up and saw the entire starry sky twisted like crumpled tin foil, and a warship the size of Manhattan Island slowly emerged from the crack. The totem on the bow made his heart stop—it was a hideous emblem composed of countless gears and bones, the very culprit that destroyed Planet Vegeta half a year ago.

"Warning! SS-class energy reaction detected!" The voice from Earth Command Center was choked with emotion. "The shield's remaining energy is less than 37%. Requesting immediate activation of Project Ragnarok!"

"Shut up!" Lin Ye cut off the communication, and the energy of the Kaioken formed dazzling golden arcs on his body. He could feel his cells rapidly dying, but what was more important at this moment was that he turned to look at the camera, which was a live broadcast being watched by 200 billion people around the world.

“Friends of Earth.” Lin Ye ripped open his blood-stained combat suit, revealing a gruesome scar on his chest. “I’m not some savior, just an ordinary person who didn’t want to see our home planet destroyed.” He clenched his fist, and a beam of energy shot into the sky. “I’ll hold off this warship, and you—”

Before the words were even finished, the warship's main cannon roared into action. Lin Ye leaped up with all his might, and just as the beam grazed his ankle, he heard a series of system notifications explode:

"Gained 789456 Faith from Earthlings, and 78945 Reputation Points."

"Gained Vegeta's approval, reputation points +50000"

"Unlock the hidden skill 'Spirit Bomb' (requires energy contribution from all life forms in the universe)"

“I see…” Lin Ye looked at the rapidly rising numbers on his wristwatch and suddenly grinned. He spread his arms, letting the energy of the Kaioken flow out wildly: “Kurd, do you know what the most ironic thing is?” He turned to the trembling pirates, “You thought you could rule the universe with technology, but you didn’t know—”

Suddenly, countless points of light appeared on the distant Earth. Lin Ye saw that the cultivators in the Himalayas clasped their hands together, the fishing boats in the Pacific Ocean turned on their searchlights, and even the space station in deep space shot out a dazzling beam of light. These points of light, spanning millions of kilometers, converged in his palm like an inverted Milky Way, forming a transparent sphere that emitted a warm glow.

"This is the power of faith." Lin Ye slowly raised the Spirit Bomb, the red light from the warship's main cannon clashing fiercely with the golden light in his eyes. "And your mastermind will soon be reduced to ashes in the face of this power."

King Kurd finally showed fear, scrambling backward: "Impossible... the Mastermind is a god—"

"God?" Lin Ye's voice was filled with pity. "God never saves ants, but ants united can kill gods."

With a loud shout, the Spirit Bomb ripped through the void. The instant the warship's main cannon struck his chest, Lin Ye felt not pain, but a tidal wave of reputation points—and the sight of countless people kneeling in tears on the live broadcast from Earth.

"Warning! Host's vital signs have fallen below critical levels."

"Would you like to spend 10000 reputation points to activate 'Time Reversal'?"

Lin Ye watched the countdown to death approach and suddenly smiled. He remembered the convenience store owner's unpaid wages, the overdue payment notices from his mother's hospital stay, and himself running through deserted streets late at night. Then, he looked at the faint glow of the remaining Spirit Bomb in his palm and said softly, "No need."

In the blinding light of the exploding warship, Lin Ye's body gradually became transparent. But he knew that somewhere on Earth, the office worker named Lin Ye no longer existed—in his place was the most dazzling new star in the universe.

"Ding! The host has achieved the 'Sacrifice for Self-Sacrifice' achievement and permanently gained the 'Protection of Faith' passive skill."

"Reputation points exceeded 100000, unlocking a mystery gift pack x1"

In the final moments before darkness descended, Lin Ye heard the cries of Earth's children mixed in with the system notification. He wanted to tell them not to be afraid, but found that his voice had already transformed into starlight, scattering across every corner of the vast universe.

Chapter 9 The Test of Number 18

The smoke of battle billowed across the sky like thick ink. Frieza's tail crushed the last rock, and blood dripped from his mouth as he grinned maliciously: "Saiyan, your Kamehameha is nothing special—" Before he could finish speaking, a golden light tore through the clouds, and the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground made everyone gasp.

"Android 18?" King Kurd's pupils constricted, and he instinctively gripped his scepter. "Shouldn't you be in the Western Capital with that blue-haired good-for-nothing fixing cars?"

Number 18, arms crossed, hovered in mid-air, her silver hair whipping wildly in the air currents. Her gaze swept over Lin Ye's blood-stained clothes: "To be able to force the father and son of the Cosmic Emperor to this point, you certainly have some skill." Suddenly, an energy ball condensed at her fingertips, but just as Lin Ye activated his teleportation, it turned towards King Kurd—with a deafening roar, a gap a hundred meters in diameter was blasted into the distant mountains, and the startled flock of birds obscured half the sky.

Lin Ye's neck hairs stood on end, and the system flashed red: [Warning! Special energy fluctuations detected. Caution advised.] He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, deliberately grinning to reveal his bloodied canine teeth: "The universe-renowned beauty assassin, are you here to kill me or just watch the show?"

"Kill you?" Android 18 suddenly appeared behind him, her metallic knee pressing against his lower back. "Frieza's head is worth ten times more than yours." Her energy beam grazed Lin Ye's ear, slicing a bloody gash on Frieza's cheek. "But... why is a third-party ship near your battlefield coordinates?"
