Amidst the relentless assault of the Ki Wave, the clone transformed into a pool of liquid that swiftly flowed towards Raditz's feet. Completely focused on eliminating it, Raditz remained unaware of the liquid sneaking out of the light, only pushing his palm forward in an attempt to eradicate all the liquid metal.

Suddenly, he felt a cool sensation on his feet and looked down. One arm wrapped around his ankle, firmly grasping him with an iron grip.

It's a clone!

Raditz reacted swiftly, quickly getting up and flying away. However, the persistent clone was undeterred, swiftly reassembling all its fragmented body parts and taking human form once more. It grabbed Raditz's foot, forcing him to the ground, and then crouched down in front of him.

As the elbows struck, Raditz countered the attack, shifting the focus of the clone. Simultaneously, a Ki Wave from the bottom of Raditz's hand collided with the clone's chin, completely obliterating half of its face.

The scorching heat filled the air, causing the clones's light blue appearance to turn slightly red. It was sent flying backward by the Ki Wave, its chin completely destroyed, and even its footsteps involuntarily took a step back.

Raditz seized the advantage and pursued, delivering a three-segment flying kick to the clone. The final kick struck the clone's head, slamming it forcefully into the ground with a resounding thud.

Observing the other clones, it was evident that they had all been severely beaten. Despite their remarkable resilience, it was impossible to determine how many times they had been defeated.

"Miscalculations, miscalculations," came the electronic voice, chilling the air.

"Do you realize your mistakes now? We won't let you get away with this," Raditz said, eyeing the clone in front of him, tightening his fist.

Normally, they would conserve their power, keeping it at a lower normal level and only using it as needed during combat. Occasionally, they would unleash a powerful force that their opponents couldn't anticipate. This was part of their combat strategy, minimizing energy consumption while ensuring maximum efficiency. It often caught their enemies off guard.

However, these duplicated metal beings possessed a fixed power level that neither concealed nor adapted to the strength of their opponents.

Although the clone of Goku resembled the original, its combat power remained at a normal state, beginning at 50,000. Moreover, they overlooked a crucial point—tricks like the Kamehameha and Kaio-ken, they were incapable of performing them!

Feeling confident, Raditz was interrupted by the cold electronic voice once again, "Recalculating success, recycling energy." Simultaneously, several metal skeletons emerged from the wall, their pale white appearance giving off a sinister aura.

With the final words of the voice, the four clones transformed into liquid, gathering together and swiftly reforming into a brand new metal clone.

"Is everything else just for show?" Raditz couldn't help but mock the copy in front of him, knowing that the enemy had grown stronger.

Vegeta snorted, his white aura soaring as he charged towards the clone. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a flurry of attacks. However, the clone nonchalantly blocked his assault with one hand, paying no attention to him. It stabbed Vegeta's calf with several sharp spikes, then gazed into the distance with utmost indifference.

Vegeta fell to the ground, blood gushing from the wound, staining his battle suit red.

But Vegeta, being Vegeta, considered such a minor setback inconsequential. Enduring the pain in his leg, he quickly rose again, swinging his arms and launching another assault.

The clone didn't expect its fallen opponent to rise up and challenge once more. Unable to fully react, it took a heavy blow to the head, causing its knees to almost buckle. However, the strikes didn't end there—Vegeta continued to roar, his knee colliding with the clone's abdomen, followed by two hooks that deeply distorted its cheeks.

In that moment, the clone raised its head, its eyes emitting two red beams of light infused with tremendous Ki. Vegeta was taken aback and quickly halted his attack, performing two aerial spins.

The red laser beams pierced through the top of the passage, leaving two deep black holes. Darkness engulfed the surrounding area.

"Damn it! Unexpected moves. This isn't Goku!" Vegeta exclaimed, the clone not adhering to the expected pattern.

Though filled with anger, Vegeta failed to locate the clone.

"Be careful!" Raditz shouted, but it was too late...

An immense force deeply struck Vegeta's abdomen, nearly bringing him to his knees. The power behind the attack rivaled that of his Oozaru transformation on Earth, causing him to cough up blood.

Then, two hooks struck, delivered with such force that Vegeta was sent crashing into the wall.

In an instant, the metal skeleton on the wall opened its ribs, expanding greatly to encompass Vegeta, each leg quickly locking in place and restraining his body.

As the bones closed, a voice declared, "Capture complete."

Initially, Vegeta struggled, managing to break a few of the long metal bones that restrained him. Gradually, however, his energy diminished, seemingly absorbed, and he could only weakly lower his arms.

Not only did the copy mimic Goku's fighting style, but it also utilized the original's offensive abilities, making it more difficult to handle.

"Everyone, be careful! Its objective is to recapture us! Don't let those things capture you," Raditz warned, taking to the air and addressing the group.

He noticed that the peculiar metal skeletons had transparent panels attached to them, allowing the energy they absorbed to remain visible throughout.

"Goku, let's fight together!"

"Wait, look!" Tien Shinhan suddenly exclaimed, causing Raditz and Goku, who were about to engage, to pause upon hearing his voice.

All eyes turned to the source of his exclamation. Even Krillin instinctively stepped back, his face turning pale.

Approaching them was a large group of clones, countless in number. They surged forward like a white tide emerging from the white light.

In unison, they uttered the same phrase, "You can't escape."
