Planet Hongshan, Mission Administration Office.
The Administration Office had been in a state of turmoil since they received the report from Muying and the others. Even though Feidaya people hates Frieza as Zarbon had attacked their homeworldâthey donât understand Friezaâs horror. However, Saiyans were different; they had deeply experienced the horror and pain that Frieza brought when he killed people of their race.
Therefor, when news of the appearance of Friezaâs subordinates spread, every Saiyan thought that Frieza was preparing to invade the East Area.
The news surprised the Saiyans, who had survived the battle that resulted in Planet Vegetaâs destruction, as the fires of long-lasting hatred burned in their hearts.Frieza who the Saiyans regarded as a nightmare-like existence had always been a thorn stuck in their throats. Their hatred would never be resolved unless they completely destroya Friezaâs race.
However, Frieza was too strong; the Saiyans, with their current strength, couldnât exact their vengeance on him. Therefore, the First Corp members who had been caught became scapegoats that the Saiyans used to vent their hatred. One could only imagine the tragic end that awaited them.
In a location close to Planet Bahert, East Area. After sailing for more than a year, the members of the Armored Squadron, Madix and Duke, gradually closed in on their destinationâPlanet Bahert.
âBeep!â The spacecraftâs central computer beeped consecutively.
âAbout to reach the target, Planet Bahert. The estimated time of arrival is three days.â
âAbout to reach the target, Planet Bahert. The estimated time of arrival is three days.â
As the beeping sounds continued, both Armored Squadron members, Madix and Duke, awoke from their hibernation and stood up before moving around their bodies which issued creaking sounds.
âHehe! Soon, we will reach Planet Bahert. I feel my bones have grown rusty after being in hibernation for over a year.â Madix exercised his wrists and said to Duke.
âMadix, contact Captain Aiolos and inquire about the situation on their side,â Duke said as he licked his lips with his lizard-like tongue.
Captain Aiolos had gone to Planet Dongke, which was much closer than Planet Bahert. Therefore, he should have already obtained some information from Planet Dongke.
Madix laughed and replied: âRight, right, I will ask him now.â
âBeep! Beep! Beep!â The call connected, and Madix quickly got in touch with Aiolos. After Madix hung up, his eyes revealed a fiery glow.
âCaptain Aiolos informed me that they didnât discover any trace of the Tree of Might on Planet Dongke or the other two planets in the North Area!â
âSo, Tree of Might is most likely on Planet Bahert!â Duke gulped, his eyes glowing.
Tree of Might is a very magical plant; It is said to be a type of Divine Plant. Therefore, it is usually impossible for two Trees of Might to appear simultaneously. The probability of the Tree of Might being located on Planet Bahert had increased greatly since it wasnât on Planet Dongke and the other two planets.
âHurry up! Let the spaceship advance at full speed. I canât wait to arrive at Planet Bahert.â Feeling that his tongue was dry, Duke quenched his thirst with a glass of water.
Finding the Tree of Might would be a great achievement.
âWell, spaceship, advance at full speed!â
As soon as he spoke, a beam of light flashed past in the dark void. The small spaceship rapidly streaked through the starry sky like a meteor.
Three days later, Armored Squadronâs spaceship approached the galaxy where Planet Bahert was located.
The galaxy was still young that was burning with endless brilliance and heat, nourishing a yellowish-brown planet situated in a distant habitable area.
âLook! What is that?â When the spaceship neared Planet Bahert, Madix suddenly pointed at an umbrella-like object that was protruding out of the side of the planet.
One could clearly see the giant tree even from outer space. Its trunk looked extremely sturdy and had numerous crooked branches extending in all directions. Below the ground, its sturdy roots permeated the planetâs crust, absorbing the life force of the entire planet.
The planet which used to be suitable for life had now turned yellowish-brown, and large expanses of its land had turned into deserts. Once the Tree of Mightâs fruits ripened, the planet would become completely barren within several hundred years âgradually turning into a dead planet.
âYes. That must be the Tree of Might!â
Madix and Duke looked at each other and saw burning excitement in each otherâs eyes. Although they hadnât seen the Tree of Might before, it ffits the treeâs description in documents.
The spaceship gradually approached Planet Bahert and quickly passed through its atmosphere. Since Tree of Might was growing here, the planetâs atmosphere has become thin. As they approached Tree of Might, it rapidly became larger, causing them to sigh in amazement at its size.
Its enormous branches blotted out the sky as though they were thick clouds, depriving the ground of sunlight.
Orange fruits the size of a clenched fist hung at the intersection between branches and leaves. The fruit had still not ripened.
âHurry up! Contact King Cooler. We have found Tree of Might and its fruits on Planet Bahert.â
In the far-away northern region of the North Area. A message was delivered that caused the entire Coolerâs palace to seethe with excitement.
A purple alien hurriedly ran into the palace and kneeled before Cooler: âKing Cooler, Sir Madix and Sir Duke of the Armored Squadron have found the Tree of Might on Planet Bahert!â
Swoosh! Cooler suddenly stood up from his throne, his sandstone armor glowing with a resplendent white light. Cooler laughed heartily, and his clear voice reverberated across the palace.
âGood! Good. Prepare the spaceship immediately. This king will personally go to Planet Bahert!â Cooler waved his hand and ordered the aliens at his side.
âOh, by the way, tell both of them to properly guard the Tree of Might. If anyone makes trouble, they should kill them all without any mercy! After they have done this, I can reward them with some fruits of Tree of Might. Furthermore, restrict this information and ensure that nothing pertaining to the Tree of Might leaks out!â
âOtherwise, donât blame this king for not showing mercy!â
King Cooler found it necessary to emphasize this threat as the information pertains to the Tree of Mightâs fruit.
Everyone acted immediately while trembling with fear; soon, the spaceship was prepped and ready to depart for the East Area.
Shortly after Cooler set off on a spaceship, the alien who had been closely monitoring Coolerâs headquarter, immediately passed on the information.
Slug held the information in his hands and laughed crazily: âHahaha! The Tree of Might has finally been found. Heh heh! Cooler, you wouldnât have thought that I sent someone to monitor you. The one who ultimately gets the Tree of Mightâs fruit will surely be me!â
âIt is a legendary fruit formed from the life force of an entire planet. After eating it, I can definitely become young! As long as I have a sufficiently long life, the Frost Demon race will surely die by my hands someday.
Slug thought while filled with confidence.
Then, he ordered to march towards the East Area. Planet Slag was closer to the East Area, so he could certainly reach before Cooler.
At the same time, in the eastern part of the North Area. All the information had been collected and was placed atop King Coldâs desk.
As King Cold read the report, his scarlet pupils flashed with a cold light, and his purple lips curled up, revealing a cruel expression.
