After dealing with some Cooler's grunt, I continued to fight and kill more, substantially increasing my levels in the process.

While I was busy slaughtering aliens, Lemo freed the survivor of his race. They were only 20 or so left of his race which wasn't much.

However, leveling doesn't recover my HP or KP. It only increases the output, meaning I won't rover the KP or HP I lose before levelling up.

I also increased my flight skill level by just flying in the air. The system was similar to a game simulator where I could increase the proficiency of my skills by just practising or using them continuously.

While one Skill was moving smoothly, my Omega Beams remained at the same level, probably because I didn't even use that OP ability much.

'Let's increase the rank of my skill.'

I was flying in the air when I decided to increase the rank of my Flight Skill. There was a [+] next to both of my skills. I pressed it several times, spending 100 Origin Points in the skill and increasing the rank.

[Your skill Flight has reached Rank D]

[Flight Ranked D (Lv. 1)]

Suddenly, my speed increased tremendously; before I knew it, I was flying at 750 km/h.

I smirked and continued to fly. After a few seconds, I arrived at the place where Lemo had gathered the people of his race.

Our spaceship was small, so Lemo was using the spacecraft of the Cooler

"I can't even process the way you are growing. Hey, can I also get that golden finger thing if I pray to God?" Lemo looked at me and asked.

He already stopped asking and getting shock waves after watching my continuous growth.

"Nah, Gods who can save you from Cooler would probably kill you first."

I mean, we are talking about Beerus and Angel Whis. If that purple cat took his job seriously, most races would have already been wiped out just for being weak.

Cooler and Freeza at least leave a model understanding of lives, so they spare those who surrender easily.

"I have no idea how humans think, but it seems like you know much about this world than most of us," Lemo smirked.

Wow, he is pretty sharp. Leaving his stupid face and weak power level aside, he was knowledgeable regarding space technology and geography.

!!!!

Lemo's scouter detected an enormous power level coming towards this planet when we were talking.

I immediately used my gamer ability to see his stats and the identity of that being.

[Name: Salza

Level: 94

Base Stat: 1700

Power Level: 170,046

HP: 2374/2374

KI: 2137/2137]

"He is defiantly Salza…!"

"WHAT?! ARE YOU FOR REAL?!!!" Lemo screamed with his lungs out.

Even I was pretty shocked and a little scared.

Salza was Cooler's top henchman and the captain of Cooler's Armored Squadron under the Cooler Force.

He first appeared in Cooler's Dragon Ball Z Movie, where he put quite a trouble for Z fighters. He was also the strongest in Cooler Force.

'Arg, why is the final boss appearing now?!!!'

I panicked. I never thought that Cooler's strongest man would arrive here. It was just a low-born planet with few resources, so why the hell is he here?!

My 3.6K power level against his whopping 170K was nothing.

If a fight broke out, it would be just the end of me.

'Calm down, Magnus and think.'

I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times before calming myself and looking at my status screen.

To be honest, I didn't have any chance to survive here, but if I could complete my mission, there might be a chance that I could survive here from the rewards I would receive.

"What are we going to do?! We are screwed! What are we going to do?! We are screwed!"

I looked at Lemo and lightly slapped his head, "Calm down."

However, my 'light slapped' hit hard and sent him flying.

'Oops, gotta be careful with my strength.' I scratched my head and smiled.

I forgot how strong I am right now.

"OI, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" Lemo came back with a big bump on his head and complained.

"Listen here. You have to leave with your race while I distract Salza."

"Are you serious?! You will die before you could even put a fight?!!"

I felt a little warm, seeing this orange alien concerned for me.

I smiled and folded my arms. "Do you think I will jump into fire without a plan?"

"You mean… you have something on your sleeves? B-but even then, Salza is Cooler's strongest henchman. You can't possibly be thinking of taking that monster head-on?!"

I didn't reply and continued to observe Salza's spaceship. It was still in space.

Although I hadn't met Salza, I knew his race couldn't breathe in space, so I still had the chance to complete this mission.

"Ah, fine. I will move in your way. It's not like I have any chance." Lemo finally gave up and looked at me, "Oi, brat. You better not die. I still remember your wish. What was it again? Ah yes, marrying a female human called 'Milf'."

"SH-SHUT UP AND GET LOST!!"

I turned completely red, losing my cool. Arg, why the hell do I have to share my dick problem with these idiot aliens?!! So embarrassing!

"Hehe!" Lemo smirked and ran inside his ship.

The ship then began to ascend in the air. I also wore my scouter and connected it with Lemo's scouter.

[Lemo: Brat, no, Magnus, can you eye beams take Salza's spaceship defence?]

"Hah! They can obliterate them!" I said and also began to fly along with Lemo's ship.

[Lemo: Then, when I give the signal, shoot Salza's ship.]

"You can count on me!" I said and then increased my speed to ascend in the air.

As we ascended more and more in the air, my speed began to decrease, and so did my breathing.

Even if I was stronger than before, I was still human. Oxygen in the thermosphere was deficient, making it hard for me to concentrate.

[Lemo: Magnus, can you hear me?! Can you still keep up?!]

"Y-yes… I am fine for now…." I answered, but it was evident that I won't last long.

I was getting further away from Lemo's ship as more I moved upward in the atmosphere.

[Lemo: Just keep up a little. Salza is just here.]

I looked back and noticed another spaceship following us.

[Lemo: Magnus! Now!!]

Just when Lemo gave me the signal, I concentrated Omega Effect in my eyes and shot Omega Beams right towards Salza's spaceship.

BOOM!!!

The spaceship exploded upon colliding with my Omega Beams and began to descend with thick smoke.

I also reached my limit and lost all control of my body.

Lemo's ship also operated the main engine disappearing from the thermosphere, leaving to outer space.

[Lemo: Wait for me, I will come for you… friend.]

[The connection has been lost with Scouter 1129]

At this moment, I realized how careless I was. I sure was immature… I guess it was not all that bad. Having an orange alien as a friend was a good thing.

I smiled as the light began to fade away. The sudden decrease and increase in oxygen took quite a toll on my body, resulting in losing my HP.

However, just when I was about to lose all my sight, I saw many windows prompts.

[[You have completed the mission.]

[Reward:

5000 EXP

1,000 Origin Points

And…]

Seeing the last reward, I smirked and immediately thought of an idea.

It was just the fitting reward I was looking for.
