In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Page 198

"Life energy? I'll give it a try!" Wukong immediately closed his eyes, feeling the life energy flowing within his body. His palms gradually glowed with a green light, a light that carried a warm aura, completely different from the energy before.

"That's it!" Lin Ye nodded. "Everyone, just like Wukong, mobilize your life energy and concentrate your attack on him!"

Everyone tried to mobilize their life energy, and soon, beams of green light lit up the council hall. At that moment, the barrier cracked open with a loud "crack," and the figure of the God of the Void appeared outside the crack, sneering, "What's the use of hiding inside? Soon, you will all turn to nothingness along with this temple!"

"Don't even think about it!" Wukong charged out of the council hall first, his palm aimed at the God of the Void, and green life energy shot out as a beam of light: "Take this!"

The God of the Void hadn't expected Wukong's attack to carry such energy. Unable to dodge in time, he was struck in the shoulder by the beam. He let out a painful roar as the struck area began to dissipate, revealing an even more transparent form beneath: "No! What kind of energy is this?"

"This is the energy to defeat you!" Vegeta followed closely behind, conjuring a green energy ball in his hand and slamming it down on the God of the Void. "Bastard, taste this!"

Lin Ye was not to be outdone. He fused the Super Saiyan God energy and life energy within his body together, and golden light mixed with green patterns formed a huge energy wave: "God of the Void, take this!"

The energy wave roared towards the God of the Void, who had no time to dodge and was struck head-on. A huge explosion rang out, and a large hole was blasted open in the God of the Void's body, making his transparent form even thinner.

"You wretched creatures!" the God of the Void roared in fury, his body rapidly shrinking. "You're lucky this time. I'll be back! Once I regain my power, I will utterly reduce you to nothingness!"

Before he finished speaking, his body transformed into a black streak of light, rushing towards the black rift at the edge of the universe. He quickly disappeared into the rift, which then slowly closed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily. Wukong wiped the sweat from his face and laughed, "Great! We finally chased him away!"

"Don't be too happy yet." Lin Ye shook his head, his expression still grave. "He has only retreated temporarily; he will definitely come back. We must create a life energy collector as soon as possible and make thorough preparations."

Bulma stood up from the control panel, wiping the sweat from her brow: "Don't worry, the core components of the collector have already started manufacturing and should be completed in half an hour at most. Then, even if he comes again, we won't be afraid of him!"

Lin Ye looked at his companions. Although they were all exhausted, their eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He stood up, clenched his fist, and said, "That's right! No matter how strong he is, we will not back down. Because we are Z Fighters, warriors who protect Universe 7!"

Everyone stood up, nodded, and their eyes shone with determination. Outside the council hall, sunlight shone through the clouds onto the Temple of Time. Although the new threat had not been completely eliminated, as long as the comrades fought side by side, there was no enemy they could not defeat.

Deep within the universe, where the black rift has closed, a wisp of gray energy is quietly gathering, and an even greater crisis is brewing...

Chapter 441: Anchor Point of Time

The obsidian floor of the Temple of Time shattered under the impact of chaotic energy, sending fragments flying like bullets. Lin Ye knelt on the ground, the fragment of creation in his palm burning hot like a red-hot iron, resonating more and more intensely with the Saiyan genes within him. Each resonance felt as if his meridians were being pierced by steel needles. The golden light surging within the deep blue flames flickered, a sign of the fierce collision between the power of the God of Destruction and human consciousness. The divine module, dormant since the Tournament of Power, was now being forcibly awakened by Chronos's spacetime devouring energy.

"System notification: Divine Resonance Module loading, current synchronization rate 17%." Alice's electronic voice carried an unusual electrical noise. "Warning! Chaotic energy has invaded the L3-L5 ganglia. It is recommended to immediately sever the connection with the Genesis Fragment, otherwise it will cause irreversible genetic collapse!"

Lin Ye completely ignored it. He stared intently at the angels at the other end of the temple, who were bound together like dumplings by the black mist. The silver spoon that Whis never let go of was now dull and lifeless, and the angelic runes on the handle were peeling off in patches. The edges of Vados's wings had begun to weather, and the pure white feathers turned to ash the moment they touched the black mist. These angels, who even the God of Destruction would show some respect for, were as fragile as paper dolls in front of the Chaos Devourer. What made his heart sink even more was the crisp sound of shattering glazed tiles coming from the direction of the Omni-King's Palace. The golden runes that symbolized the "absolute right of elimination" were being covered inch by inch by black lines, like rice paper soaked in ink.

"Give up, you ants of Universe Seven." Kronos's voice, like a rusty saw blade scraping through iron, emerged from the black mist all around. Countless tentacles stretched out from the black mist, each one wrapped with a distorted spacetime rift, tearing even the air to shreds wherever it passed. "Your so-called divine authority is nothing but a toy that I can discard at will."

"Bullshit!" Vegeta suddenly sprang to his feet, his deep blue aura instantly expanding into a hundred-meter-long giant fist, slamming towards the nearest tentacle with a whooshing sound. "Saiyans never bow down to trash!"

But the moment his fist touched the black mist, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; not only did it not cause any damage, but his wrist was also entangled by the tentacles. Lin Ye clearly saw that Vegeta's aura was being drained away at a visible speed, his originally taut muscles were shrinking at an eerie pace, and his face instantly turned a liverish color.

"Father!" Trunks' lightsaber struck just in time, the pale blue light cleaving the tentacle in two. But more black mist immediately surged from the severed ends, instantly coalescing into more than a dozen new tentacles. "These things regenerate! There's no way to kill them all!"

Just then, a brand new system interface suddenly popped up on Lin Ye's retina, the words "Divine Resonance Skill Tree" in scarlet were particularly dazzling. The three skills below were flashing wildly: "Manifestation of God of Destruction's Power," "Control of Spacetime Anchor Point," and "Chaos Energy Reflection." Without the slightest hesitation, he pointed his finger directly at "Manifestation of God of Destruction's Power." The fragment of creation suddenly burst out with golden light like the sun, condensing in his palm into a long spear covered with divine runes. The black energy flowing at the tip of the spear was none other than Beerus's unique destructive power.

"This is... Lord Beerus's destructive energy?" Supreme Kai Shin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. He staggered back half a step, his scepter carving a deep trench in the ground. "How can you directly control such power? Even Gods of Destruction need tens of thousands of years of training to master it!"

"It's not manipulation, it's resonance." Lin Ye raised his spear, the tip steadily aimed at the densest part of the black mist. "The system is just a bridge; what truly drives this power is the balance between my Saiyan bloodline and the power of the God of Destruction."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless tentacles rained down like a storm, each one wrapped with twisted spacetime rifts, tearing the air apart wherever they passed. Lin Ye parried with his spear, the golden tip colliding with the black mist with an ear-piercing "sizzle," countless tiny spacetime cracks exploding in the air. Through those cracks, he vaguely saw fragments of other universes: in some universes, Frieza, dressed in the robes of the God of Destruction, sat on his throne, toying with a planet; in others, Goku, who had never broken through to Super Saiyan, was tilling the land on Mount Paozu; and in still others, "himself," clad in armor brimming with data streams, chased after his former comrades with empty eyes.

"See that?" Kronos's laughter was full of sarcasm. "Your existence is nothing more than a low-quality copy of the multiverse, and even your fate is a script written by someone else."

Lin Ye's gaze grew even more resolute. He recalled Jiren's words at the Tournament of Power: "A true strongman is not one who never loses his way, but one who can hold onto his principles even in dire straits." He slammed his spear into the ground, and golden light spread out from the spear shaft, instantly outlining a massive divine rune array on the temple floor. This was a new barrier he had created by combining Namekian life magic with runes of the God of Destruction, specifically designed to imprison the flow of energy.

"Vegeta! Use the Ultimate Flash to blast the core of the array!" Lin Ye shouted, pointing to the largest rune in the center of the array. "Trunks, use the Time Sword to stabilize spacetime and prevent the black mist from regenerating!"

Vegeta, though looking impatient, obediently did as he was told, gathering dazzling blue-white energy in front of his chest with both hands: "Haa...! Ultimate Flash!"

The instant the torrent of energy struck the array's core, the entire divine rune array suddenly blazed with dazzling golden light, enveloping the entire temple. Trunks' Time Sword was planted into the ground just in time, its runes lighting up, and the constantly regenerating black mist indeed seemed to be paused, instantly coming to a standstill.

"It works!" Supreme Kai Shin jumped up in surprise, the gem at the top of his scepter regaining its brilliance. "The flow of chaotic energy has slowed down by at least half!"

Lin Ye frowned deeply. He could clearly feel the energy of the barrier being slowly devoured by the black mist, the light of the fragments of creation growing dimmer, and the synchronization rate of divine resonance stuck at 33%, which he couldn't break through no matter how hard he tried. Worse still, his limbs began to feel numb, and chaotic energy had spread along his nerves to his spinal cord, each breath carrying a rusty, bloody smell.

“Almost there…” Lin Ye gritted his teeth until they hurt, then suddenly remembered what Alice had said before: “The ultimate fusion between the system and the host is never about brute force, but requires an emotional anchor as a medium.”

These words struck his mind like lightning, and countless images flooded back: Dende's smile when he handed him the Senzu Bean on Namek, Krillin's teasing shout of "Give up!" during Earth Defense Force training, Vegeta's flushed face when he broke through the gravity chamber, the healing capsule that Android 18 secretly slipped to him during the Cell Games... These warm memories overwhelmed his consciousness like a tide, and surprisingly resonated with the restless divine power within him.

"System notification: Strong emotional fluctuations detected; Divine resonance synchronization rate increased to 58%!"

Suddenly, Lin Ye was enveloped in a dazzling golden light, and a pair of wings formed from the power of a god of destruction materialized on his back, each feather swirling with black destructive energy. He grabbed a fragment of creation from the ground and leaped towards the densest part of the black mist, his voice filled with unwavering resolve: "This shot is for all the universes you have devoured!"

The moment the golden spear pierced the black mist, Kronos let out a piercing shriek, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The black mist churned violently, barely revealing its core, a black sphere composed of countless fragments of spacetime, its surface entwined with patterns identical to the system core.

"Impossible... How could you possibly break through my Chaos Barrier?" Kronos's voice finally panicked, filled with disbelief and shock.

Lin Ye didn't waste any words, channeling all his strength into the spear. He could feel the fragments of creation frantically absorbing Kronos's chaotic energy, and the divine synchronization rate was constantly rising. But just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of the Omni-King's Palace, and the entire Temple of Time trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.

"Not good!" Whis's weak voice emerged from the black mist, filled with obvious panic, "The Omni-King's power of cleansing has been corrupted by chaotic energy!"

Lin Ye turned around abruptly, his heart sinking to the bottom. A huge black vortex appeared at the location of the Omni-King's Palace, constantly surging out contaminated cleansing energy. Wherever it went, even space itself seemed to sizzle and dissolve, like plastic being corroded by strong acid. Even more terrifying, when the contaminated energy came into contact with the divine runes of the temple, the golden runes melted away as quickly as snow meeting hot water.

"Retreat!" Lin Ye made a decisive move, grabbing Trunks beside him. "We're no match for him right now, we have to think of another way!"

Without hesitation, everyone followed Lin Ye and ran wildly out of the temple. As they passed Vegeta, Lin Ye casually tugged at him, only to find that the guy was still staring intently at Chronos in the black mist, his eyes filled with resentment.

"What are you looking at? As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!" Lin Ye roared.

Vegeta spat out a mouthful of anger, but still quickened his pace.

As he retreated, Lin Ye couldn't help but glance back. In the black mist, Kronos's crimson eyes were fixed on him, as if to say, "The game has only just begun."

The black vortex in the direction of the Omni-King's Palace continued to expand, as if it would swallow the entire Seventh Universe. Lin Ye touched the burning fragment of creation on his chest and suddenly realized that this war against the Chaos Devourer might have been destined from the moment he obtained the system.

Chapter 442: The Divine Forge

Inside Capsule Corporation's underground laboratory, robotic arms operated methodically, the crisp sounds of metal clashing echoing throughout. Bulma, wearing goggles, manipulated the control panel with both hands, as a palm-sized, textured metal device gradually took shape on the holographic blueprint in front of her.

"How much longer?" Lin Ye leaned against the control panel, his eyes fixed on the device, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the surface. Ever since the God of the Void retreated, everyone hadn't dared to relax for a moment, all staying in the laboratory waiting for the birth of the key weapon.

Vegeta stood with his arms crossed in front of the lab's monitoring screen, his eyes scanning the space navigation map on the screen warily. His tone was tinged with impatience: "Bulma, can you hurry up? That bastard could come back at any moment. We can't just keep waiting here."

"What's the rush!" Bulma took off her goggles, rolled her eyes at him, and wiped the sweat from her brow. "This is a precision instrument that can absorb life energy; even the slightest error is unacceptable. Just ten more minutes, and the last energy conversion core will be installed, and it'll be complete." She pointed to the component being assembled by the robotic arm. "This thing can automatically absorb the life energy overflowing from surrounding plants, animals, and even ourselves, converting it into an attack wave specifically designed to counter void energy. That guy will be in for a world of hurt!"

Lin Ye nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He could sense that in the courtyard outside the laboratory, Goku was training Gohan and Trunks, and the sound of ki clashing could be heard from time to time, as everyone was preparing for a possible battle.

Just then, the laboratory's red alarm suddenly blared, and the monitoring screen on the wall instantly switched images, revealing the familiar black rift once again at the edge of the universe. This time, the rift was wider than before, and several transparent figures, similar in size to the God of the Void but slightly smaller, were emerging from it, escorting a more solidified black figure as it slowly walked out.

The voice of the God of the Void came through the screen, carrying a cold mockery: "Insignificant humans, did you think you could escape by hiding? This time I've brought the Void Messenger, and you will have no chance to stop me this time!"

"It's finally here!" A hint of excitement flashed in Vegeta's eyes, and a deep blue aura instantly erupted around him as he clenched his fists. "Perfect timing for me to try out this new technique!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Lin Ye grabbed him and shouted to Bulma, "Bulma, speed up! We'll hold them off, you finish the collector as soon as possible!"

"Leave it to me!" Bulma immediately put her goggles back on and her hands flew across the control panel, instantly doubling the speed of the robotic arm.

Lin Ye and Vegeta exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned and rushed out of the laboratory. In the courtyard, Goku and the others, hearing the alarm, immediately stopped their training and gathered around.

"Lin Ye, Vegeta, is that guy here again?" Goku scratched his head, golden light emanating from his body, and he instantly activated Super Saiyan Blue form.

“It’s not just him, there’s a whole group of his subordinates.” Lin Ye nodded, pointing to the black shadows that were gradually appearing in the air. “Goku, you take Gohan and Trunks to deal with those Void Messengers. Vegeta and I will hold off the Void God until Bulma brings the Collector!”

"Alright!" Goku responded, immediately carrying Gohan and Trunks into the sky. "Trunks, Gohan, let's go!"

The God of the Void sneered as he looked at the charging crowd and waved to the Void Messenger behind him: "Take care of them all!"

The six Void Messengers immediately dispersed, transforming into black streaks of light that rushed towards Goku and the others. One of the messengers lunged at Trunks, condensing a gray ball of void energy in its palm and slamming it down.

"Don't even think about it!" Trunks' eyes narrowed, and a golden energy sword materialized in his hand. He shattered the energy ball with a single strike, then swung his sword backhand towards the Void Messenger's chest. The Void Messenger dodged, sidestepping the attack, and simultaneously struck Trunks' shoulder with a palm.

On the other side, Gohan activated his Mystic Form, his body radiating silvery-white flames as he engaged in battle with the two Void Messengers. His movements were agile, each attack carrying powerful energy, forcing his opponents to retreat repeatedly.

Goku single-handedly confronted the three Void Messengers, his Super Saiyan Blue form's ki burning like flames. He crossed his arms, conjuring a massive Kamehameha wave, and unleashed it fiercely at the Void Messengers: "Kamehameha... Wave!"

A golden energy wave roared towards the Void Messengers. The three messengers simultaneously condensed void energy to form a shield, but it was instantly shattered by the energy wave. Amidst screams, the bodies of the three messengers turned into gray mist and dissipated.

"Useless trash!" The God of the Void's eyes flashed with anger upon seeing this. He suddenly raised his hand, and a gray energy ball, twice the size of the last one, condensed in his palm. With a world-destroying force, he smashed it towards Wukong. "Since you are so disobedient, then die together!"

"Goku, watch out!" Lin Ye shouted, his body radiating golden light as he activated his Super Saiyan God form. He instantly rushed in front of Goku, crossing his arms to form a sturdy shield of golden flames.

"Bang!" The energy ball slammed into the shield, and the huge impact caused the ground beneath Lin Ye's feet to collapse instantly. His arm trembled slightly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Vegeta roared, his figure transforming into a deep blue stream of light as he circled behind the God of the Void, his fist, imbued with powerful energy, slamming into his back: "Bastard, your opponent is me!"

The God of the Void snorted coldly, dodging the attack to the side, and then struck Vegeta in the chest with a backhand. Vegeta had no time to dodge and was hit by the palm, his body flying backward and crashing into the laboratory wall with a loud bang.

"Vegeta!" Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, and a crack appeared in the shield. The God of the Void seized the opportunity, increasing his energy output. The gray energy ball continuously compressed the shield, and it looked like it was about to break through the defense.

"It's done!" At that critical moment, Bulma's voice came from the lab. She rushed out, clutching the life energy collector, and shouted to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, catch!"

Lin Ye caught a glimpse of the approaching collector out of the corner of his eye and immediately freed one hand to grab it. The collector felt cold to the touch, and the patterns on its surface instantly lit up with a green light, beginning to frantically absorb the surrounding life energy. The flowers, plants, and trees in the yard instantly lost their luster and turned yellow and withered, and the gas permeating the air was also continuously sucked in by the collector.

"Is this the Life Energy Collector?" Lin Ye felt the powerful energy surging in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He held the collector in his palm, and the golden Super Saiyan God energy merged with the green life energy, forming a dazzling pillar of light.

"God of the Void, taste this!" Lin Ye roared, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards the God of the Void, his fist, imbued with the fused energy, slamming into his chest.

The God of the Void hadn't expected the energy to be so powerful. Unable to dodge, he was struck squarely by the punch. He let out a painful roar, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the edge of the black rift. The struck area began to gradually become transparent, the gray void energy dissipating continuously.

"No! This is impossible!" The God of the Void struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How could your energy possibly restrain me?"

"Nothing is impossible!" Lin Ye pressed his advantage, raising the collector again. Green energy condensed into a giant energy sphere at the top of the collector. "This is the price you pay for destroying the universe!"

The energy sphere shot towards the God of the Void with a whistling sound. He tried to gather energy to defend himself, but found that the void energy within his body was constantly leaking away. The energy sphere instantly engulfed him, a huge explosion rang out, and the black cracks began to shake violently and gradually contract.

"I won't give up so easily!" The voice of the God of the Void came from the explosion, his body turning into a wisp of gray mist as he tried to escape into the rift. "I will be back!"

"Trying to leave? No way!" Vegeta scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth. A stronger, deep blue aura erupted from his body as he condensed a massive energy wave in his hands, slamming it down on the wisp of mist. "Disappear completely!"

The energy wave struck the mist, triggering another explosion. This time, the aura of the Void God vanished completely, and the black rift closed, leaving only a calm sky.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Wukong wiped the sweat from his brow and walked over with a smile: "Great! We finally defeated that guy!"

Lin Ye looked at the life energy collector in his hand, its green light gradually dimming. He handed the collector to Bulma and smiled, "Thanks to your invention, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to deal with him."

Bulma took the collector, her face full of pride: "Of course, I am Bulma! But we can't let our guard down. That guy just said he would come back, so there might be other Void Gods around."

The Supreme Kai arrived at Capsule Corporation at that moment. Looking at the closed cosmic rift, his expression remained grave: "Bulma is right. The God of the Void won't be destroyed so easily. According to ancient records, the core of the God of the Void's true form is hidden in the deepest part of the void. What we just defeated was only his clone. As long as the core remains, he can continue to create clones."

"A void space?" Lin Ye frowned. "What kind of place is that?"

“It’s a place without the concepts of time and space, filled with pure void energy,” the Supreme Kai explained. “Once inside, you’ll not only be corrupted by the void energy, but you’ll also easily lose your way and be trapped inside forever. But if the core isn’t destroyed, the universe will never find peace.”

The atmosphere in the laboratory instantly became heavy. Everyone understood that venturing into the void meant immense danger, but they had no room to back down.

Lin Ye stood up, looking at his companions with a determined gaze: "No matter how dangerous it is, we must go. To protect Earth, to protect the entire universe, we have no way back!"

"That's right!" Wukong stood up and patted his chest. "As long as we go together, there's no problem we can't solve!"

Vegeta snorted coldly. Although he didn't speak, the fighting spirit in his eyes said it all: "Finally, a decent battle. This time, I will completely destroy that bastard's core!"
