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

Page 70

Goku's Spirit Bomb and Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon simultaneously struck a corner of the Matrix. Golden and emerald energy pillars intertwined to form a blinding orb, only to be swallowed by dark energy as if sinking into the ocean. Piccolo's voice trembled as he spoke, "Their energy is assimilating the laws of the universe! My Special Beam Cannon was instantly broken down into basic forces upon contact!" He wiped the blood from his mouth, his green skin gleaming with an eerie metallic sheen—more terrifying than the Omni-King's erasure power!

Cosmic power? Lin Ye gritted his teeth and slammed the rock spear into the center of the matrix. The primordial code and the final energy clashed violently at the spear tip. Each energy collision sent a cracking sound through his arm bones, like crystal shattering. "Goku! Gather all the energy in the universe! Piccolo, use the power of Namek's Dragon Vein to assist! Vegeta, prepare to tear their energy link with Deep Blue Qi!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Vegeta flicked his tail, and silver-white patterns suddenly emerged from the deep blue aura. "Kakarot, let these cosmic parasites see the true power of the Saiyans! Stop holding back, unleash the Kaioken at twenty times!"

"Understood!" Goku grinned, his golden hair standing on end as energy gathered. "My friends throughout the universe, lend me your hope! Whether you're a warrior from Earth, a Namekian, or a survivor of Frieza's army—if you want to live, transfer your ki to me!"

Goku raised his hands high above his head, and the light of hope from the entire universe began to converge in his palms. Within those rays was the emerald energy of Earth's Shenron, the azure fluctuations of Namekian crystals, and even the crimson energy of Frieza's remnant ship, all converging into a rainbow-colored galaxy that stretched across the final dimension. As the river of light flowed, the dark golden energy seeping from the spatial rifts was forcibly evaporated into hissing white mist.

Lin Ye! Anchor point coordinates generated! Alice's data afterimage suddenly appeared in his consciousness. Her form flickered like a candle flame in the wind. Her mechanical voice carried an unusual urgency. The observer's singularity matrix is ​​maintained by dimensional resonance. Activate the anchor point with the primordial code. I will lock their energy frequency!

"Hold on!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth, his quantum state cells unleashing their full power. He slammed his rock spear into the matrix core, the spear tip resonating with the coordinates Alice had constructed. Pure white primordial code surged forth like a burst dam, erecting a triangular prism-shaped barrier amidst the collapsing energy flow. Ancient Saiyan and Namekian runes flowed across the barrier's surface, each pattern devouring the approaching dark golden energy.

"You're courting death!" Within the observer array, the leader's voice boomed like the deafening roar of a thousand supernovae, the piercing sound waves causing Lin Ye's eardrums to bleed instantly. A dark golden torrent, powerful enough to devour a galaxy, shot forth from the center of the array, hurtling towards the rock spear barrier. Upon contact, a deafening metallic tearing sound erupted.

"Vegeta! Now!" Lin Ye roared.

"Got it!" Vegeta instantly appeared in front of the barrier, his deep blue flames condensing into a spiral-shaped shield of light. The moment the dark golden torrent struck the shield, it erupted with a light more dazzling than a supernova. His body was forcibly pushed back tens of thousands of kilometers, every inch of his skin spurting out fine beads of blood. "Kakarot! Don't let me suffer for nothing!"

Without hesitation, Wukong unleashed the gathered light of hope like a comet. Lin Ye seized the opportunity, plunging his rock spear into the core of the light stream. The primordial code and the light of hope resonated strangely, forming a milky-white pillar of light that pierced through the final dimension. When the pillar struck the singularity matrix, the observer array emitted a piercing alarm, and the twelve figures simultaneously flickered with erratic data; the galactic data streams within their bodies began to flow in reverse.

"Oh no! They're about to unleash their ultimate weapon!" Piccolo cried out as countless metallic artifacts surged forth from the dimensional rift. Each weapon was inscribed with flowing runes of destruction, and one giant axe, as it slashed through space, left a bottomless black hole in the void. The energy seeping from the edge of the rift caused Lin Ye's rock spear to hum under its strain.

Lin Ye's pupils constricted sharply. Without a second thought, he hurled the rock spear at the nearest ultimate weapon. The primordial code erupted with purifying light upon contact with the weapon, but this was quickly absorbed by the weapon's obsidian defensive layer. Instead, it caused the axe blade's black light to surge several times over. Their technology had already merged with the ultimate laws of the universe... The primordial code, before absolute power...

"Lin Ye, catch!" Alice's afterimage suddenly transformed into a streak of blue light, forcefully merging into the rock spear. The spear emitted an unprecedented hum, its surface displaying quantum circuits as complex as a cosmic star map. "Using all my data, activate the final form of the primordial code! This is the only power capable of defying the laws of the end times!"

Lin Ye gripped the rock spear tightly, clearly feeling a nuclear fusion-like reaction occurring between Alice's data core and the original code. A power transcending cosmic dimensions erupted from the spear tip, condensing into a giant sword shimmering with silver-white light—its blade flowed with patterns of the laws of time and space, the very blade of the end.

"The Blade of Destruction..." Lin Ye murmured. The moment he swung his sword, all the ultimate weapons simultaneously emitted a dying cry. Where the blade sliced ​​through, space shattered like glass, and the dark golden energy stream was forcibly split in two. Those weapons engraved with runes of destruction, upon contact with the blade, saw their runes recede like a tide, their metallic shells cracking into countless points of light, each reflecting the astonished image of the observer.

Chapter 190: A New Era

Three months later, when Lin Ye landed on the planet named Hope, a turquoise rain was falling on the surface. The raindrops turned into stardust the moment they touched the primordial code shield, revealing silver ferns growing wildly in the soil—each leaf engraved with runes identical to those in the Observer Matrix.

This is not a naturally evolved plant. Bulma's hologram flickered in the rain as her fingers traced across the data panel; 72% of her genetic sequence was homologous to the armor of the Observer Mothership.

Lin Ye crouched down, his fingertips touching the roots of the fern. The primordial code suddenly erupted with a scorching heat, and a shattered image flashed before his eyes: an observer soldier implanting a seedling into the planet's core, silver liquid spreading along the roots, transforming the entire planet into a biological weapon.

They left a backup plan here. Lin Ye's voice was swallowed by the rain, "Vegeta, can you hear me? Hopefully, there's something in the core of this planet—"

"Shut up!" Vegeta's roar exploded from the communicator, accompanied by the sound of violent energy collisions. "I'm dealing with three bastards in black cloaks. The techniques they're using... are the same as the Observer's during the final battle!"

Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. Silver ferns coiled up like tentacles, and Lin Ye swung his Primal Code Blade in a backhand motion, slicing the vines in two. What seeped from the cut was not sap, but writhing miniature robots.

Nanoclusters! Bulma's image suddenly magnified; they were absorbing planetary energy, preparing—

Before the words were even finished, a blood-red crack appeared in the sky. Dozens of black cubes fell from it, each with a rotating singularity pattern etched on its surface. Lin Ye's pupils constricted sharply, recalling the cubes thrown out by the Observer leader before disintegrating during the Final War.

"Lin Ye!" Goku's voice was panting. Piccolo and I rushed to the edge of the star system, where space was being forcibly collapsed! His Spirit Bomb exploded in the distance, but was absorbed by a matrix of cubes. These things were replicating the observer's technology!

Lin Ye leaped up, the primordial code condensing into a spear of light in his palm. As the spear struck the nearest cube, the runes on its surface suddenly lit up, emitting a familiar electronic sound:

[Original code host detected. Recycling process initiated.]

Retrieve? Lin Ye's spear of light froze in mid-air. Who are you?

The cube's surface cracked open, revealing an image within—Alice's data core, entwined by countless metallic tentacles. Her mechanical eyes flashed red, and her voice was filled with distorted static:

Lin Ye...save me...they used my data...to create...

The image suddenly cut off, and the cube unleashed a gravity that devoured everything. Lin Ye was forcibly pulled towards the core, the primordial code flowing wildly within his body, yet he was unable to break free from this force.

"Let him go!" Vegeta's deep blue aura crashed in like a meteor, his fist slamming into the cube, but the recoil caused his arm bones to crack. "Damn bastard, how dare you touch my comrade!"

Just then, the entire surface of Hope Planet suddenly bulged up. Silver ferns formed a massive matrix, resonating with the cube in the sky. Lin Ye's primordial code shield creaked as the fern tentacles entangled him, and the metallic leaves began to analyze his energy frequency.

They are synchronizing the frequency of the primordial code! Bulma's hologram is flashing wildly, and the surface matrix and cubes are forming dimensional anchors to teleport this planet to the observer's home planet!

Vegeta's deep blue aura suddenly surged, and his fist shattered three tentacles that were wrapping around Lin Ye: Trying to teleport me along with him? Did you ask my fist first?! He swung his tail, creating a shockwave, but was hit on the shoulder armor by the red light shot from the cube, and metal fragments mixed with blood splattered everywhere.

Vegeta! Lin Ye raised his hand and unleashed a light shield. The Primal Code condensed into a galaxy pattern in his palm. Goku, use the Spirit Bomb to disrupt the Matrix frequency! Piccolo, lock onto the Earth's core energy source!

"Understood!" Wukong's figure streaked across the rain like a golden meteor, his hands raised high to gather the energy of the entire universe. As the Spirit Bomb struck the Earth's matrix, the silver ferns suddenly burst forth with blinding white light, disintegrating the energy blast into countless points of light.

It's no use! A synthesized voice echoed from the cluster of cubes. Alice's data afterimage flickered in and out of existence amidst the red light. The observers had already deciphered your combat patterns—

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a fleeting clarity flash in Alice's mechanical eyes, and a data afterimage slammed into the nearest cube: Lin Ye...attack coordinates X-739...that's the matrix's...nerve center!

Now! Lin Ye compressed the primordial code into a spear of light, using Vegeta's punch to propel himself into the air. "Vegeta! Goku! Cover me!"

The deep blue flames and the golden energy blast exploded simultaneously, tearing an opening for Lin Ye. The moment the light spear pierced the surface matrix, the entire planet emitted a roar like shattering glass. The silver ferns receded like a tide, revealing the black core suspended at the Earth's core—covered with Alice's data patterns.

So that's how it is... Lin Ye's spear of light stopped above the core; they used Alice's code as a key...

Suddenly, the core unleashed a suction force that devoured everything. Lin Ye felt the original code being forcibly stripped away, but at that moment he saw a blue light flashing deep within the core—it was a fragment of Alice's remaining consciousness, using its last strength to rewrite the matrix instructions.

"Get out of this universe!" Alice's voice boomed with electricity, and the core suddenly reversed its rotation, hurling all the cubes into the dimensional rift. The blood-red crack in the sky began to close, and the silver ferns withered into ashes in the torrential rain.

Vegeta staggered to Lin Ye's side, his tail drooping limply: Is it over?

Lin Ye shook his head and caught the blue light particles floating from the core—the last fragments of Alice's data. The light particles transformed into a line of text in his palm: [Observer's Homeworld...A New Storm].

The real battle has only just begun. Lin Ye gazed into the depths of the universe, the primordial code condensing into a star map in his pupils; they had trapped Alice's consciousness on the observer's home planet.

Chapter 191: The Dragon's Backlash

The Super Dragon Balls unleashed a light like the singularity at the dawn of the universe, turning a star field millions of light-years in diameter into a molten gold. Lin Ye knelt on one knee on the main beam of the starship wreckage, a shattered porthole embedded in his left shoulder, instantly melted into a glass bead by the surging rock element energy beneath his skin. Bulma's voice, crackling with static, scraped across his eardrums through the communicator: "The wishing interface's energy peak has reached 120%! Omega's gravitational field is locking onto Shenron's coordinates!"

His fingertips hovered three millimeters above the virtual confirmation button, where he could see the button, composed of a data stream, vibrating rapidly. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his right shoulder; Vegeta's combat boots shattered the dashboard behind him, and deep blue flames incinerated the floating metal fragments into dust: What are you dawdling for? Are you waiting for that pile of scrap metal to hand us the trophy? The Saiyan prince's tail lashed out irritably, and wherever the tip swept across, sparks from the broken cable were twisted into spirals by the force of his energy.

Wait! Lin Ye abruptly looked up, his pupils reflecting the suddenly contracting pupils of the divine dragon, Porunga. The golden dragon, which had occupied half a galaxy, suddenly emitted a shrill, metallic screech, and a purplish-black, viscous liquid seeped from the gaps in its scales, drawing spiderweb-like energy threads in the vacuum of space. Even more terrifying was its left claw—its once pearlescent toenails had transformed into hydraulically driven alloy pincers, the jaws slowly opening to reveal a rotating, serrated structure inside.

The dragon's biological signals are disappearing! Alice's holographic projection suddenly exploded on his retina. The hair strands made of data streams were torn in half by the turbulence. Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one mechanical implant points were detected, which were covering the original neural network!

Goku's silver hair suddenly stood on end, and the energy of Ultra Instinct pulverized the debris within ten meters into an atomic state: Look at its throat! The esophagus, which should have emitted the light of wishes, was now churning with a dark purple energy ball, each movement causing ripples in the space like an oil film. Lin Ye suddenly recalled a record he had seen three years ago in the ruins of the Supreme Kai of Time—when a cross-shaped red mark appeared in the dragon's pupils, it meant it had been taken over by a higher-dimensional being.

"It's Omega's core code!" He slammed his fist into the control panel, rock elemental energy condensing into spikes on his fist, piercing the metal panel with honeycomb-like holes. It had already implanted the code into the Super Dragon Ball! Before he finished speaking, Shenron suddenly opened its massive jaws, and the purplish-black energy erupted like a volcano, exploding 30,000 kilometers away from the starship wreckage. Lin Ye watched helplessly as a terrestrial planet deflated like a punctured balloon, its blue oceans evaporating into white smoke rings under the intense heat, then twisted into pretzel-like columns of gas by the shockwave.

"Lin Ye! Three o'clock!" Vegeta's roar made Lin Ye's eardrums ache. He whirled around and saw Omega's mechanical behemoth tear open a spatial rift, its 372 hydraulic arms flailing wildly like octopus tentacles, each end locked onto a different attack trajectory. The foremost alloy pincer had already crushed Goku's Destructo Disc, metal fragments mixed with purplish-black energy streams, drawing grotesque arcs through the universe.

Dragon Ball energy loss rate 89%! Bulma's scream exploded from the communicator; all the Dragon Balls were fusing into the Omega power core! Her voice suddenly cut off, and an explosion boomed in the background—Android 17 had lost contact outside the protective shield! I saw his detector signal...

"Shut up!" Vegeta suddenly unleashed his power, silver cracks erupting from his deep blue aura. His tail lashed out at Lin Ye's back, slamming him against Shenron's mechanical neck, aiming to tear apart that pile of scrap metal! "Kakarot and I, block the tentacles!"

Lin Ye tumbled in zero gravity, the rock spear condensing into a spiral shape in his palm. The instant the spear tip pierced the dragon's neck, he saw the writhing stream of code beneath the metal armor—those purplish-black data streams pulsed with a binary rhythm, each flash causing the dragon's scales to gleam with the Omega symbol. Alice! Analyze the code frequency!

Attempting... A binding spell synchronized with the Namekian altar has been detected! The image of the girl, composed of data streams, suddenly tore apart—this is... technology left behind by Frieza's army!

The dragon's mechanical claws suddenly tightened, twisting Lin Ye's rock spear into a pretzel shape. He felt the diamond-shaped crystal on his chest burning hot; Jiren's righteous energy and Alice's data stream collided in his veins, and cracks appeared on his skin's surface. So that's how it is... He suddenly laughed, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the dragon armor. Omega had stitched together the technology of every villain in the past!

Goku's silver hair suddenly grew three feet long, and the energy of Ultra Instinct formed a silver vortex. His fist pierced through three hydraulic arms, but the moment it touched the Omega Core, the force of the impact caused his bones to crack: Lin Ye! Its core is absorbing our attack!

Vegeta's Garic Cannon slammed into Shenron's head, but the rebounding energy sent him flying. He crashed into a meteorite, charred skin showing through his combat suit's shoulder: "Enough talk! Transfer all your energy to that kid!"

Lin Ye suddenly laughed, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the Dragon Armor, condensing into eerie blood beads in the vacuum: Omega has stitched together the technology of all the villains from previous generations! He ripped off the rhombus-shaped crystal from his neck, Jiren's righteous energy and Alice's data stream exploding into blue-purple arcs of electricity on the crystal's surface. Vegeta! Goku! Transfer all your energy to me!

Are you insane? Vegeta's Garic Cannon blasted at Shenron's head, but the rebounding energy sent him flying. He crashed into a meteorite, charred skin showing on the shoulder of his battle suit. This fusion energy would burn you to ashes!

Enough with the nonsense! Lin Ye's rock element energy suddenly surged, knocking the dragon's mechanical claws back three meters. Remember how Frieza mocked us on Namek? His pupils suddenly turned two colors—left green and right silver. Now let this pile of scrap metal see the power of Saiyan plus Namek plus the system!

Wukong's silver hair suddenly grew three feet long, and the energy of Ultra Instinct formed a silver vortex. He clasped his hands together and pushed against Lin Ye's back, pouring in golden energy like a volcanic eruption: "Catch! This is the life force of the entire Earth!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth and lashed out with his tail, deep blue flames wrapped in purple lightning, entangling Lin Ye's arm: Don't die before me, you scum! This is the full power of the Saiyan prince!

Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, Android 18's infinite energy, Bulma's hastily modified Quantum Cannon... all these energies collided and fused within Lin Ye's body, causing his skin to crack like glass, each crack flowing with iridescent energy. Suddenly, Shenron's mechanical eyes flashed red, and Omega's voice rang out simultaneously from all the hydraulic arms: "Energy overload detected... Initiating annihilation procedure!"

Three hundred and seventy-two hydraulic arms suddenly converged, forming a metal cage around Lin Ye. The core module at the very center opened its massive, black hole-like maw, and a purplish-black gravitational field distorted space into a funnel shape. Lin Ye could see his arms digitizing, the code flowing beneath his skin resonating with the core of Omega.

Now! He slammed the rhombus-shaped crystal into his chest, unleashing all his energy in an instant. A beam of light piercing through the galaxy shot out from the gap in the cage, blasting the dragon's mechanical body to dust. Omega's core module trembled violently within the beam of light, its surface revealing runes never seen before—the End, written in Saiyan script, Namekian script, and system code.

"Impossible..." Omega's voice trembled for the first time. The core module cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures. "I absorbed the technology of seventeen universes..."

Lin Ye's figure flickered in and out of existence within the pillar of light, his left eye flashing with the system's final data stream: "But you haven't absorbed it..." Hope amidst despair. The pillar of light suddenly contracted, dragging Omega's core into the dimensional rift. In the explosion's light, Lin Ye saw twelve pairs of scarlet eyes open deep within the rift, each reflecting his current appearance.

As the light faded, only floating metal debris remained in the universe. Vegeta caught the falling Lin Ye and found that the diamond-shaped crystal on his chest had shattered, replaced by a glowing scar.

Is it over? Wukong was panting heavily, his silver hair turning black again.

Lin Ye suddenly grabbed Vegeta's wrist, a purplish-black code flashing in his pupils: No... within the core of Omega... lies the coordinates of the Omni-King... His voice abruptly ceased, his body dissipating into particles of light and vanishing into the starry sky, leaving only a final echo: Be careful... the laws of God...

Bulma's scream came through the communicator, accompanied by crackling electronic noise: "Spacetime anomaly detected across the entire universe! All galaxies are...distorting?!" Before she could finish speaking, the starry sky in front of the observation window suddenly rippled like water after a pebble was thrown in. The nearest Orion Nebula was stretched out like putty, and the starlight took on a strange spiral trajectory.

Vegeta's tail suddenly tightened, and deep blue flames exploded and then died down on his body: Nonsense! Spacetime turbulence cannot affect the entire universe at the same time! His combat boots crushed the metal plate beneath his feet, but when he landed, he found that his shadow had been stretched into a strange triangle.

It's true! Wukong suddenly pointed to the distant Big Dipper, where the seven stars were orbiting each other in a trajectory that defied the laws of physics. Look! Their orbital direction is reversed! The silver-haired warrior's palm touched the void, but it was as if it had been inserted into a viscous liquid and could not move. Time... was flowing backward?

The light particles that Lin Ye had dissipated suddenly reassembled in the air, condensing into a semi-transparent image. His lips moved silently, and what escaped from his throat was not a sound, but a string of rapidly scrolling spacetime coordinates—the last three digits were changing wildly, finally settling on the dimensional frequency of the Omni-King's Palace. Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply, because he recognized the prefix of that string of coordinates as the entrance to the God Realm that Beerus, the God of Destruction, had shown him years ago.

"Omni-King..." Bulma's voice suddenly became hoarse, and a live feed of the Omni-King's palace appeared on the console screen. The figures of the two children who should have been sitting on the Rainbow Throne were blurring, their outlines gradually becoming transparent as if erased, while the palace dome revealed the same purple-black code as the Omega Core.

Even more horrifying scenes unfolded simultaneously across the universe: the Dragon Ball altar on Namek suddenly collapsed, and the seven Dragon Balls transformed into data streams that flowed into the void; in the wreckage of Frieza's cryogenic chamber, the remaining cellular tissues were reversing their growth, transforming into embryonic forms; even the Super Divine Water in Korin Tower on Earth instantly reverted to ordinary spring water.

This is... the system's underlying time reset program! Alice's remaining data stream suddenly exploded on Vegeta's retina. Although the Omega Core was destroyed, the divine laws implanted in the Omni-King's consciousness were being activated! The girl's image pointed to the scene of the Omni-King's palace, where purple-black code was weaving into a giant hourglass pattern.

Suddenly, Wukong trembled violently, his silver hair standing on end as if electrocuted. He saw a scene he had never witnessed before: behind the Omni-King's smiling face, countless pairs of eyes were watching, each flowing with the same code as Omega. And the coordinates left behind by Lin Ye before he vanished were now turning into a crack, from the depths of which came the rumbling of gears meshing.

Watch out! Vegeta's tail suddenly wrapped around Goku's ankle, pulling him back from the collapsing space. The starship wreckage behind them suddenly shattered into countless fragments, each piece replaying past battle scenes—from the Namekian battle to the Tournament of Power, all scenes playing in reverse. Bulma's scream abruptly stopped, and the communicator crackled with the sound of electricity breaking down components. As Vegeta dragged Goku back, he suddenly noticed his battle suit's shoulder armor peeling off—each piece of armor was reassembling in reverse, transforming from charred wreckage back to its brand-new state. Even more terrifying, the beads of sweat clinging to Goku's silver hair were flying back into his hair follicles, and even the starry sky reflected in his pupils was visibly regressing to the star map of three hours earlier.

"Look at the Omni-King's Palace!" Goku suddenly pointed to the depths of the universe. The rainbow palace, floating in the cracks of spacetime, was disintegrating, and the figures of two children transformed into streams of purplish-black code, merging into the hourglass pattern on the dome. In the center of the hourglass, a mechanical pupil slowly opened, and what flowed within it was not an iris, but a binary matrix identical to that of the Omega Core.

Vegeta's tail was suddenly grabbed by something. He whirled around and saw his shadow rise from the ground, its raised hand holding the Garic Cannon that should have disappeared. This was the manifestation of time reset! Alice's data stream exploded on his retina; we were becoming a mirror image of the past—including those memories deleted by the system!

Just then, the spacetime coordinate rift left behind by Lin Ye before he disappeared suddenly expanded, and the rumble of gears meshing turned into a deafening roar. Deep within the rift, a circular array of twelve pairs of scarlet eyes slowly rotated, each pair reflecting a scene of destruction from a different universe. At the center of the array, a metal seal engraved with the laws of the gods was falling, and the outline of the Omni-King's Palace appeared on the surface of the seal.

Goku's silver hair grew even longer, and the energy of Ultra Instinct condensed into a silver blade of light in his palm: Vegeta! We must do this before time completely reverses—

His words were interrupted by a burst of children's laughter. Suddenly, the communicator connected to the Omni-King's channel, but a synthesized, mechanical voice replied: "The game...restarts." Before the words were finished, the starlight of the entire universe went out simultaneously. When it lit up again, Vegeta found himself standing on the ruins of Namek, holding not a fragment of his battle suit, but a shimmering Super Dragon Ball. In the distant sky, within the pupils of the dragon Porunga, purplish-black code flowed slowly.

Chapter 192: Diverse Reinforcements

The core module of Omega spun in the void, its surface binary matrix churning like boiling magma. Each rotation tore at the surrounding spatial grid, producing a grating noise like fingernails scraping metal. Lin Ye knelt on one knee, fine cracks seeping from the rock element crystal on his left shoulder—the gravitational impact of Omega had dislocated his sternum, and now every breath was pulling at his severed nerves.

Tsk, this pile of scrap metal is even more durable than Frieza's broken spaceship. Vegeta kicked away a twisted piece of armor plate at his feet, the deep blue flames igniting only to be extinguished in the vacuum. The shoulders of his battle suit were charred black, revealing the bleeding skin beneath. If this drags on any longer, we won't even have the energy to transform into Super Saiyans.

Wukong, supporting himself with his golden cudgel, knelt on the ground. His silver hair was visibly turning black, and beads of sweat on his forehead condensed into ice crystals in the cosmos: its core was absorbing all energy... Just now, my Kamehameha was swallowed up the moment it touched its shell. He suddenly coughed, and the blood beads that coughed up from his palm exploded into red mist in the void.

Lin Ye abruptly looked up, his pupils flashing with the blue light of a data stream. The rhombus-shaped crystal was burning hot in his palm; the righteous energy left behind by Jiren was resonating with the Omega code: Bulma! Can the Dragon Ball radar still locate coordinates in other universes?

A burst of electrical static erupted from the communicator, and Bulma's tearful voice pierced through the interference: the main system had been 73% corrupted by Omega's code! But... but the emergency channel of the inter-universe communicator was still lit! Suddenly, a star map composed of garbled characters appeared on the screen, with seventeen different colored dots flashing—this was... a response signal from a parallel universe!

Before the words were even finished, twelve beams of light, tearing through space, erupted simultaneously. From the foremost black rift, a Goku wearing tactical goggles charged out, wielding an energy lightsaber. Behind him followed three Vegetas with X-shaped markings on their shoulder armor, their purple flames leaving burning trails in the cosmos.
