Upon hearing Krillinâs shout, Goku yelled in frustration while fighting back, âDamn it⌠I donât need you to tell me, I want to too! But I canât do it, I canât transform into Super Saiyan!â
Even though he had briefly transformed into Super Saiyan during Coolerâs invasion, Goku failed to do so in his subsequent attempts.
On their way to Planet Namek, Goku and others underwent grueling training using the Gravity Chamber on their spaceship. They nearly died a few times, and even used up all the Senzu Beans they had brought with them, but they made great progress in just a few short days.
However, even so, Goku still couldnât fully master the Super Saiyan transformation.
Now, seeing the predicament in front of him, Goku began to regret his choices.
If only he had known that besides that monster, Cold Force also has such powerful subordinates, perhaps they could have waited for Vegeta to arrive on Planet Namek before taking any action together.
But there was no medicine for regret in the world, so Goku could only decide to fight with his all.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Shisamiâs fist, preventing him from making any more moves.
He looked at Shisami first, exclaiming in surprise, then turned his head and greeted Goku with a smile, âGoku, long time no see. Is that Gohan over there? Heâs grown so much?â
âLin Chen!â
âLin Chen? Youâre finally here!â
Goku and Krillin both exclaimed in delight, while Gohan was still confused.
Who is this person? How did he appear just now?
And why does his aura seem even stronger than Grandpaâs?
âGreat! Lin Chen, youâre here, everything will be fine now.â As if relieved from a heavy burden, the pressure on Goku from before disappeared instantly.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen was surprised to see Slug, who was being protected by Krillin and Gohan.
âSlug? How did you end up like this?â
âItâs you?â Slug opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen with a wry smile. âSaiyan, you can mock me all you want. I once swore to protect the Namekians in front of you, but now I have fallen to this pointâŚâ
âWhy mock you? Protecting the Namekians was originally a promise between me and the former Great Elder.â
Realizing that Slug was on the verge of death, Lin Chen pulled out a Senzu Bean and threw it to Gohan, âGive it to him to eat.â
âWho are you?â
Shisami backed away frantically, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Shisamiâs Scouter had long been broken, so he couldnât check Lin Chenâs strength.
But when facing Lin Chen, Shisami didnât know why, but it felt like facing King Cold, making him feel apprehensive.
Lin Chen ignored Shisami and scanned the surviving soldiers of Cold Force on the scene. Then, he smirked, âThere are still more than a hundred people left. Thatâs quite a lot. All of you can die now!â
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a green wave of energy emitted from Lin Chenâs body, and a sphere of yellow-green energy immediately enveloped him, covering his entire body.
A few seconds later, the energy suddenly burst out from the sphere and scattered like shotgun pellets, hitting the soldiers of the Cold Force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These shotgun pellets seemed to have eyes, and not a single person could dodge them.
Even Shisami, who had been battling Goku for a long time earlier, couldnât escape.
Seeing the energy pellets flying towards him, Shisami concentrated all his power on his arms and tried to push them away.
But as soon as his arms made contact with them, he immediately realized how laughable his idea was.
Not to mention pushing them away, as soon as he touched them, the energy pellets swallowed his arms, and then his whole body.
Cold Force, which had been causing headaches for Goku and the others, was instantly wiped out.
After dealing with the enemies on the scene, Lin Chen flew down and walked over to Goku and the others, asking in a puzzled tone, âGoku, whereâs Bulma?â
Hearing that, Goku slapped his head and pointed to one of the spaceships, saying, âBulma! Itâs safe now. You can come out!â
Gohan also shouted, âAunt Bulma, itâs safe now!â
A moment later, Bulma, wearing the Cold Forceâ uniform and a helmet that covered her face, flew out of the spaceship.
Taking off the helmet, Bulma breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Chen in surprise, âBrother Lin Chen? You finally came back!â
âIâm sorry. I know Iâm late. Can you tell me whatâs going on now? How did you all end up here?â
As everyone was talking, several Namekianâs auras disappeared in the distance.
Sensing it, Slug stood up with a serious expression, gritted his teeth, and said to Lin Chen, âLet me tell you everythingâŚâ
As he spoke, Slug began to recount the beginning of the whole incident to Lin Chen.
It happened suddenly, with the Cold Force descending on Planet Namek without warning and targeting Slugâs village from the start.
As for the reason, Slug figured out the clues from a few familiar aliens who were following Cold at that time.
Although Planet Namek is located in a remote area, it is not completely isolated from the world. Occasionally, there are also aliens passing by.
However, most of these people are here for temporary supplies and trade, and there are rarely any troublemakers.
Moreover, because of Slugâs plan to enhance the strength of the Namekians, making them unprecedentedly powerful, the Namekians no longer fear interaction with the outside world.
But it was unexpected that among these aliens who came here, there was actually a spy from Cold.
Before the attack began, Cold Force had already investigated Planet Namek thoroughly and immediately targeted Slug, the Great Elder, upon arrival.
âGreat Elder, I am Cold, the leader of the Cold Force. I heard that your planet has something called dragon balls, which can grant any wish. Can you lend it to me?â
âIâm sorry, sir, you must have heard it wrong. Planet Namek doesnât have such a thing. Please leave!â
Slug was not afraid of Cold at all, because when he was still Evil Slug, he had fought Cold Force many times to gain control of the North Area.
They had even fought each other personally a few times, and they were old enemies who knew each other well.
Now, because Slug had regained his youth and his appearance had changed greatly, Cold did not recognize him.
But Slug knew Coldâs strength, so he was not afraid of him.
Upon hearing Slugâs reply, Coldâs lips curled up and he said, âGreat Elder, donât try to fool me. I made sure to thoroughly investigate before I came here. As long as I gather seven dragon balls, I can summon Porunga to grant any wish! So, be sensible and hand over the dragon balls, or I will have to take them myself!â
âNamekians do not fear any danger! Cold! The one who should be sensible is you!â
