Chapter 25: An Unknown Planet Approaches!

"Not bad! Not bad!"

"After this battle, it seems you all have finally mastered the power of the Great Ape."

"At least now you have some semblance of a trump card!"

Mu Chuan looked at the transformed Saiyans and couldn't help but praise them.

Karl, who had been fighting fiercely just moments ago, now looked rather embarrassed.

"Thanks to you, Chief!"

"If it weren't for you, we'd still be a bunch of low-level warriors with minimal combat power. We wouldn't be where we are today. To put it bluntly, we might have been destroyed along with Planet Vegeta!"

"Our lives are yours!"

The other Saiyans echoed in agreement.

Mu Chuan, indifferent to whether their words were genuine, accepted the praise. However, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Now that everyone's strength has improved and you've mastered the Great Ape's power, it's time for us to leave this desolate planet."

"Our current location has already been discovered by Cooler, and the Armored Squadron's disappearance will certainly lead him to us."

"That guy is a monster even scarier than Frieza. With our current combat power, we can't confront him head-on!"

"We should lay low for now…"

Hearing this, the joy among the Saiyans quickly dissipated, as if doused with cold water.

Even though they had mastered the Great Ape's power, compared to the Frost Demon Clan, they were still insignificant and no match for them.

Mu Chuan didn't want to put himself in danger. Since the Armored Squadron was dealt with, Cooler would undoubtedly be furious!

He might come to this barren planet next, so avoiding a direct confrontation seemed wise.

Moreover, he already had a destination in mind…

Earth!

Though the events of Dragon Ball hadn't officially begun, Mu Chuan believed that Earth was the center of all turmoil. Besides, he had not yet fully mastered the use of ki.

If he could understand the use of ki, transforming into a Super Saiyan would be much easier.

Furthermore, despite his already impressive base combat power, he hadn't shown any signs of transforming, as if he had hit a bottleneck.

Even if his combat power continued to rise, without becoming a Super Saiyan, it would all be in vain!

Therefore, Earth was a destination he couldn't avoid.

Having made up his mind, he didn't consult with the other Saiyans but simply gave them the coordinates.

Then they all boarded their ships.

He had these coordinates from when he was still on Planet Vegeta.

Finding Earth wasn't impossible, but in the vastness of the universe, such a small coordinate was easily overlooked.

However, he knew…

Earth would become the center of the universe, the home of the Chosen One!

As they set off for Earth, Cooler, on the other side of the universe, received a report from his subordinates.

"Lord Cooler, the scanners show that… the Armored Squadron has lost contact!"

"Also, just a few minutes ago, there were numerous strong power levels detected, each around 100,000."

"The number of individuals is twelve!"

"The intermittent data from the scanners suggests they might be Saiyans!"

The reporting alien trembled, kneeling on the ground, fearing that Cooler might obliterate him with a single death beam.

However, he wasn't met with destruction.

Instead, there was only the gradually intensifying presence of Lord Cooler!

Cooler's face contorted in rage, and his breathing became labored. The information suggested that the Armored Squadron had likely been eliminated.

It was the Saiyans!

The Saiyans were under Frieza's rule, and now they appeared at coordinates given by Frieza.

This clearly indicated that all this was orchestrated by his dear brother, Frieza!

It shattered him!

It wiped out his elite team, the Armored Squadron.

"Good! Very good!"

"Excellent, Frieza!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I, your older brother, am just for show?"

"You're hailed as the genius of the Frost Demon Clan, but that's only because I didn't want to stoop to your level. Since it's come to this, I'll let you taste the bitter fruit of a significant loss!"

Cooler was enraged!

More furious than ever before.

Initially, he felt his dignity was being challenged, but it wasn't enough to make him this angry.

Now it was different…

His elite team, the Armored Squadron, had been wiped out. This was his most vital team in his conquests across the universe, and now they were gone!

Recruiting such loyal subordinates again would take who knows how long, and finding ones as efficient would be even harder!

He had treasured them immensely…

But now, they were completely gone!

How could he not be furious?

"Move at full speed. I want to confront Frieza as soon as possible!"

With Cooler's order, the entire spaceship accelerated to speeds several times faster than before, almost to the point of breaking apart.

Yet no one dared to defy Cooler's command!

Clearly… Cooler's fury was unstoppable.

Frieza, oblivious to his brother's misinterpretation, had unknowingly triggered Cooler's grudge.

What awaited him was a clash between brothers!

…

Mu Chuan and his team had no idea they had narrowly avoided disaster, as all the blame had been pinned on Frieza.

They escaped notice entirely!

However…

Mu Chuan, with his experience from two lifetimes, didn't want to leave his fate to the mercy of others.

He prepared for the worst possible scenarios.

But their luck seemed to falter. While en route to Earth at full speed, their path was obstructed by a massive asteroid.

Or rather, something that resembled both an asteroid and a planet!

And it was hurtling directly towards them!

The spaceship's alarms blared.

"Beep beep beep beep beep…"

"Detected unidentified flying object on a collision course with the ship. Initiating emergency protocols!"

The spaceship's interior was bathed in red light, with alarms sounding continuously.

Mu Chuan quickly looked outside. It was an enormous asteroid, akin to a small planet. Logically, it shouldn't have been on a collision course.

So why did it suddenly enter the same trajectory?

Moreover, since his spaceship was leading, the other Saiyans were still behind. Now… he was directly in the path!

He attempted several maneuvers to avoid the collision.

But realized that avoiding it wasn't an option; the unidentified object seemed to be targeting him!

This realization left him utterly shocked!
