The God and the Demon King 

Yuujin led Suno, Hao Siqi, and a few other women into the palace, while Demon King Piccolo and a few of his demon clan followers flew out from within.

"Kid, was that your aura just now?"

"Never thought a warrior as strong as you was hidden here on Earth."

Landing in front of Yuujin and his companions, Demon King Piccolo spoke coldly.

Having not used the Dragon Balls to restore his youth, Piccolo retained his elderly appearance, much like the former God of Earth. However, in contrast, one represented justice and light, while the other embodied pure darkness and evil.

"D-Demon King Piccolo…"

Seeing Piccolo, Suno turned pale and trembled. Yuujin patted her head, signaling her to stay calm, then said:

"Demon King Piccolo, my name is Yuujin, the new God of Earth."

"You've gone too far—destroying the land and slaughtering humans. Today, I will end you, the scourge of this world!"

Revealing his identity, Yuujin wore a cold expression.

Although it was technically he who had released Piccolo, it was necessary to play his part now.

"The new God of Earth? That guy is already dead?"

"No, if he were dead, I would have sensed it."

Piccolo frowned, surprised by Yuujin's identity. Naturally, "that guy" referred to the previous God, his other half.

"The former God is indeed not dead."

"Enough, Demon King Piccolo. Prepare to die. This world has no place for demons like you."

Yuujin spoke nonchalantly, but Piccolo burst into laughter.

"Hahaha…!"

"Defeat me? You?"

In the past, Piccolo had feared the God's power, but after eating a mystical peach, his strength had surged, now over ten times greater than his former peak. A mere God was no threat to him!

"Tambourine, Cymbal, Drum, kill him!"

Piccolo ordered with a murderous glare.

Tambourine, Cymbal, and Drum were three demons created by Piccolo, each stronger than his former self. For them, killing a rookie God of Earth would be a breeze; there was no need for Piccolo himself to intervene.

"Yes, Lord Piccolo."

With a cruel smile, Tambourine, Cymbal, and Drum charged at Yuujin. But Mai, Hao Siqi, and Violet quickly stepped in front of him.

"You think you're a match for our master?"

"Die!"

With icy disdain, each woman raised a hand, and three powerful energy blasts shot toward the approaching demons.

"What?!"

"Impossible!!!"

"Aaaaaahhh!!!!!"

Amid terrified and incredulous expressions, Tambourine, Cymbal, and Drum were struck by the energy blasts and instantly vaporized. Piccolo narrowly dodged the attack by leaping into the sky, looking down at his now-obliterated minions and half-destroyed palace, his eye twitching uncontrollably.

These women!!!

Suno was stunned. She already knew these elder sisters were powerful from watching them deal with criminals before, but she hadn't imagined they'd be this strong.

Piccolo's followers were wiped out with such ease!

"Master, shall we take down Demon King Piccolo for you? Such a foe doesn't deserve your personal attention," Hao Siqi suggested mischievously.

After enduring intense training and being promoted by Yuujin to captain of the Red Silk Battle Squad, Mai, Hao Siqi, and Violet each had a power level over three thousand. They feared nothing—not even Piccolo, who had also grown stronger from the hell peach.

"Piccolo is mine to handle."

"If I let you defeat him, our previous plans would be for nothing."

Yuujin replied, and Hao Siqi shrugged, dropping the topic.

She was merely making a suggestion. If their goal had been simply to eliminate Piccolo, they wouldn't have released him in the first place.

The whole elaborate scheme, even going so far as to feed Piccolo a precious Esenji, plunging the world into chaos, was all for their master's plan: to make Piccolo a stepping stone.

Now, it was finally time for Piccolo to fulfill his purpose!

Hao Siqi and the other women returned to Yuujin's side, and Piccolo landed back on the ground.

"Kid, who are you people?!"

Piccolo's gaze bore into Yuujin, his face darkening.

"Hao Siqi and Violet are my subordinates."

"As for me, I already introduced myself—I'm Yuujin, Earth's new God."

"What's wrong, Piccolo? Are you intimidated by the power of a few of my followers?"

Yuujin smirked playfully.

"Intimidated? Are you joking?"

"You think that level of strength scares me? I can create as many as I want like them."

"Kid, if you'd stayed quietly in the temple, I'd have left you alone. But since you've come to die, you'll be staying here today!"

Confident in his newfound strength, Piccolo's aura flared as he prepared for battle.

But—

"Wait a moment."

Yuujin didn't attack right away but stopped him.

"What, you have last words? Even if you beg, I won't spare you."

Piccolo paused, frowning.

Yuujin shook his head, and Hao Siqi and Violet chuckled, amused.

Piccolo actually thought their invincible master intended to beg! Did he realize the gap between himself and their master?

Probably not. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to stand in front of Yuujin at all.

Then, Yuujin spoke again:

"Demon King Piccolo, I am the God tasked with protecting Earth, and you are the demon king bringing it disaster. Our battle will decide the future of this planet. Don't you think it would be more interesting if everyone on Earth watched our fight?"

To be continued…

The battle between Freeza and Saiyans continues…

Everyone is battered…

Yuujin stops the descent of a fully charged Genki Dama!

Freeza kills Yuujin!!
