Chapter 3 Rejection, Choice
"Repeat Frieza's order: all teams must return to Planet Vegeta immediately after completing their missions!"
The call was repeated several times before the communicator finally disconnected.
"Frieza himself issued the order; is this a major operation? How exciting!"
Upon hearing the command transmitted through the communicator and thinking about the momentous mission of assembling all the Saiyans together, Lori Ella was extremely excited.
What's so exciting about that!
Going back would be suicide!
Unlike Ella's naiveté, Rhode knew that Frieza had begun to eliminate the Saiyans and destroy Planet Vegeta, and that returning there would mean certain death.
At this point, the best course of action is to run as far away as possible!
"Rhodes, why aren't you excited at all? A big operation is coming up, and we're sure to have a blast fighting!"
Seeing that Rhodes was not only unmoved, but even frowning, Ai stretched out his hand and slapped him hard, asking in return.
"Hmph! What big operation? Frieza's trying to wipe us out!"
Rhodes snorted coldly at the silly Ella, dismissing her with disdain.
"Frieza wants to destroy us? How is that possible?"
Ella didn't believe Rod's words at all.
"Frieza's fear of the legendary Super Saiyan and his dissatisfaction with us Saiyans has been going on for a long time!"
Looking at Ella's innocent face, Rod thought for a moment and said the well-known truth. Seeing Ella's uncertain expression, he shrugged indifferently, "Whatever, I'm not going back!"
"What? You're not going back?"
Rhodes' decision enraged Ella, who saw it as a betrayal of the Saiyans: "Frieza may be powerful, but as long as King Vegeta leads us in battle, even if it's Frieza..."
"Even if it's Frieza, we can definitely defeat him?"
Before Ella could finish speaking, Rhodes immediately interrupted her: "Ignorance is bliss! Do you even know how strong Frieza is?"
"Even if they're strong, can they possibly be stronger than all of our elite Saiyan warriors combined?"
Ella was very annoyed by Rhodes's look at her as if she were an idiot.
"All Saiyans teaming up?"
Hearing Ella's words, Rod couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly: "Only that arrogant and foolish King Vegeta would think that as long as we unite, we can defeat Frieza!"
It must be said that while King Vegeta's spirit of resisting Frieza is admirable, his methods are hopelessly stupid. He dared to confront his enemy without even understanding the most basic information about them. I don't know where he got his confidence.
"Is it possible that all of us Saiyans combined can't defeat Frieza?"
Seeing Rhodes's attitude and understanding the meaning behind his words, Ella felt incredulous and couldn't believe it.
"That's just the truth!"
Rhodes nodded matter-of-factly, then his gaze fell on Ella's face. He stared intently at her and said in a low voice, "Do you know how strong Frieza is?"
"How many?"
"Five hundred and thirty thousand!"
"How much?"
"You heard right, a full 530,000 combat power!"
Speaking of Frieza's fighting power, Rhode automatically recalled the immense pressure Frieza exerted on Namek. In an era when the main characters had fighting power in the thousands, with some having tens of thousands, an enemy with a fighting power of 530,000 was nothing short of hopeless!
"Five hundred and thirty thousand?! How, how could there possibly be such a terrifying monster?!"
Thinking of his own fighting power of 2,400, and then thinking of King Vegeta's fighting power of just over 10,000, even when he transformed into a Great Ape, he only had a little over 100,000. Compared to Frieza, they were worlds apart, there was no comparison at all.
A group like that trying to fight Frieza is simply asking for trouble!
At this moment, Ella was questioning her life. What she used to be proud of, the so-called Saiyan glory, was a huge joke in front of this terrifying monster!
"Five hundred and thirty thousand power isn't even Frieza's full strength. Now you understand why I don't want to go back, right?"
Having explained Frieza's terror, Rhodes shifted back to the previous topic.
Why did Frieza suddenly attack us?
Realizing Frieza's terror, Ella suddenly realized that her race had fought for Frieza in the universe for so long, so why was he suddenly taking action now? It was truly perplexing.
"Perhaps he couldn't take it anymore!"
What could Rhodes say about this? Could it be that the Saiyans displeased some powerful figure?
"Rhodes, are you trying to run away?"
After a long silence, Ella looked at Rhodes, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness, and questioned him.
"Run away?"
Faced with Ella's questioning, Rhodes didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "Say whatever you want. The Saiyans burned, killed, and plundered in the universe. Their destruction is just karma. There's nothing to be sad about!"
As for Frieza?
He will definitely die at the hands of us Saiyans!
"Does the legendary Super Saiyan really exist?"
Upon hearing Rhodes' words, Ella didn't care about the Saiyans' burning, killing, and looting, or about the consequences of their actions. What she cared more about was Rhodes' powerful confidence—his confidence that he could defeat the monster Frieza.
Rhodes had this confidence, and in Ella's opinion, only the legendary Super Saiyan could give him such confidence.
"Of course it exists!"
Seeing the light appear in Ella's seemingly powerless eyes, Rhode confirmed her guess. His gaze fell on her, calm yet earnest: "Follow me, and I will show you the brilliance of a Super Saiyan shining through the universe!"
On one hand, there's returning to Planet Vegeta to die; on the other, there's witnessing it all, even becoming a Super Saiyan. Isla, what do you choose?
"What are you going to do?"
Having received Rhode's affirmation, Ella thought for a second and then made her decision. As a pure Saiyan, fighting and power were her most fundamental pursuits, so there was no need to choose.
"From now on, obey my orders!"
Seeing that Ella had agreed, Rhodes was the first to assert his authority.
"Don't even think about it, beat me first!"
Ella completely disagreed with Rhodes's desire for leadership.
"You are no match for me!"
"A mere difference of one hundred combat power—you'll only know after you fight!"
Swish!
Seeing that Ella was not convinced, Rhodes flashed and appeared in front of her, delivering a knee strike. Just as Ella was about to retaliate, Rhodes flashed behind her again, slapping Ella on the neck and knocking her to the ground.
"What now? Should we continue?"
Looking down at Ella on the ground from his high vantage point, Rhode spoke with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"snort!"
Faced with Rhodes' words, Ella gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, choosing to remain silent and not making excuses for her injured body, after all, the enemy doesn't care what state you are in.
Once I recover, I'm going to beat you up!
Although she acquiesced to Rhodes' temporary leadership, Ella was not convinced at all and secretly vowed to fight again and take back the leadership position once she recovered.
"You go and restore it, I'll go out and find a few people."
Having secured his position, Rhodes ignored Ella and turned to leave the spaceship.
As for whether Ella believed what he said before, or whether she would run away, Rhodes didn't care. He just saved her because she was young and he had some camaraderie with her.
If the other party runs back to Planet Vegeta, then all I can say is that good advice is useless against a damned ghost, and this is her fate!
Thinking this, Rhode sensed the location of the Reiner aliens' aura and quickly flew towards their gathering place.
