A short alien with blue skin, violet tones, and white hair said to Cooler:
"Lord Cooler, shall we go check it out? Lord Frieza might not be dead. After all, last time he also…"
"There's no need!" Cooler cut him off. "Frieza must pay for his stupidity! Sauza, we're heading back!"
The subordinate named Sauza hesitated briefly, then bowed respectfully:
"Yes, my lord!"
Compared to the capricious and violent Frieza, Cooler's temperament was much calmer. But that didn't mean anyone could go against his orders.
Upon hearing his command, the crew aboard immediately sprang into action, turning the ship around and heading back to Cooler Force territory.
But none of them realized that Cooler himself wore a dark, gloomy expression.His face was long and heavy.
The truth was—Cooler didn't refuse to approach because he wanted Frieza to die.He was afraid.
Someone who could survive in space and easily defeat Frieza... such a being might be too powerful even for Cooler.
He dared not get close—afraid the one who killed Frieza hadn't left yet.
Nor did he dare linger—afraid that being might notice them.
He, the mighty Cooler, had fled in fear.A scenario he had never imagined in his life.
Burning humiliation surged within him, and Cooler clenched his fist.
"Damn it! We of the Frost Demon race are supposed to be the strongest in the universe! Saiyan… just wait!I, Cooler, will one day surpass the limits of the Frost Demon race.When my fourth transformation is complete… that day will be the day we meet again.And then, I'll avenge Frieza—and restore the pride of my clan!"
Meanwhile, Lynx had returned to Planet Vegeta, where he relayed everything he'd witnessed to King Vegeta and the others.
They mourned Queen Hanasia's death, but when they heard Lynx had completely destroyed Frieza, they erupted with joy.
"Your Majesty Lynx, now that Frieza is dead, the threats we face are much reduced.I believe it's time for us to go all out!" King Vegeta suggested.
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Lynx asked. "You're not planning to conquer the universe, are you?"
"Of course not." King Vegeta shook his head hastily.
After spending so much time with Lynx, he knew their king was unlike the Saiyans of old. Yes, he had ambition—but nothing like Frieza's tyrannical lust for control.
Lynx had repeatedly told them: the Saiyans' future must not rely on brute-force conquest and destruction.
"Your Majesty Lynx," King Vegeta said, "now that Frieza is gone, his empire will surely fall apart. He ruled hundreds of planets—all of which were oppressed like we were. If you truly want to make the Saiyans a force for justice…Why not liberate all those worlds?"
"Liberate them…?"
Just as Lynx was pondering the idea, a voice echoed in his mind:
"Ding! Host has encountered a new situation—Strongest Choice System activated."
[New Choices Triggered]
Liberate 70% of Frieza Force's territory. Reward: 50 vials of Frost Demon Serum.
Liberate 70% of Frieza Force + 50% of Cooler Force territory. Reward: 20 vials of Frost Demon Serum + 1 vial of 100% S-Cell Extract.
Liberate the South Galaxy controlled by the Legendary Super Saiyan. Reward: 1 Legendary Super Saiyan 2 Form Experience Card.
"Warning: You can only choose ONE of these three options!"
Seeing the choices appear, Lynx quickly signaled King Vegeta to hold off—he needed to think.
He carefully examined the rewards.
Some of the items he'd never seen before, so he needed clarification.
"System, what is the Frost Demon Serum?"
"Ding! The Frost Demon Serum can convert any intelligent lifeform into a pure Frost Demon."
"Note: This refers to the original Frost Demons, not the mutant types like Frieza."
Original Frost Demons? That probably meant beings like Chilled, Frieza's ancient ancestor.
From what Lynx recalled, those didn't have transformation abilities like Frieza's kind, and though powerful, their combat strength was capped around 400,000.
To Saiyans, this wasn't too useful.
But for recruiting other alien races, this serum might come in handy.
However, what caught Lynx's real interest was the Legendary Super Saiyan 2 Experience Card listed in Choice 3.
"System, what does the experience card do?"
"Ding! It allows the host to transform into Legendary Super Saiyan 2 form for 1 hour."
Legendary Super Saiyan 2?Now that was interesting.
Lynx understood that what the system called "Legendary Super Saiyan" likely referred to a unique transformation—one that only he and Broly could achieve due to their innate potential.
And Legendary Super Saiyan 2 was a further evolution of that power.
In the original Dragon Ball canon, even just the first form possessed near-infinite strength. The second form was virtually unheard of.
Even though Lynx hadn't yet mastered the first form, now he could sample an even stronger state?
Tempting.
But was that one hour of borrowed power worth more than the permanent boosts from the other choices?
He pondered.
Then something odd struck him.
The mission mentioned "liberating the South Galaxy controlled by the Legendary Super Saiyan."
Wait a second…Wasn't that a movie plot?
In one of the Dragon Ball Z movies, didn't Broly control the South Galaxy?
And wasn't that Broly a different version from the one in Dragon Ball Super?
Lynx had lived in this world long enough to know: His world's Broly was the DBS version.
So why was the mission asking him to fight another Broly?
What the hell was going on?
"System, who exactly is this 'Legendary Super Saiyan' in Option 3?"
"Ding. Host, the opponent's name is Broly."
It really was him!
"Wait… that can't be. Broly is on Earth. Why would he be in the South Galaxy?"
At that moment, Lin Chen's head swirled with confusion…
