"Damn You,"
"Damn you Vegeta!"
After Vegeta killed Guldo, Jeice and Burter gritted their teeth in frustration.
If Zeltron hadn't been here, Guldo would have succeeded in killing Vegeta, Son Gohan, and Krillin without much trouble.
In the eyes of Jeice, Burter, and the others, eliminating Vegeta, Son Gohan, and Krillin was only a matter of minutes.
But with Zeltron's presence, everything changed.
When their scouters tried to detect Zeltron's combat power, all three devices overloaded and exploded. Only Guldo's scouter remained intact.
Originally, they planned for Guldo to contact Jeice, who would bring reinforcements and confront Zeltron together.
But now, with Guldo dead and his scouter destroyed, their carefully laid plan was in ruins.
Naturally, Jeice and Burter were furious.
"What should we do now?"
Jiece glanced nervously at Zeltron, who sat calmly on a huge rock, then turned to Burter.
"Burter, isn't your speed the fastest in the universe?"
In normal times, Burter would have responded with confidence: "Of course, I'm the fastest!"
But having seen Zeltron's breathtaking speed just moments ago, Burter's confidence wavered.
Still, for pride's sake, he answered hurriedly: "Uh… yeah, i'm number one. What's up?"
"Good. You fly out as fast as you can, alert Captain Ginyu to the situation here, and let him handle this guy," Jiece whispered in his ear.
"Zeltron-sama, they're moving to redeploy troops!"
Just then, Toss, standing behind Zeltron, twitched his ear as if overhearing Burter and Jeice's conversation. He promptly reported the news to Zeltron.
Zeltron's brows rose in acknowledgement. He trusted Toss's words implicitly, knowing that Toss's Namekian-like ears could pick up distant sounds—just as Piccolo could overhear conversations from kilometers away.
Sure enough, moments later, a powerful burst of air exploded from Jeice's body.
In the next second, Burter's figure shot like a white streak across the sky, flying straight upward.
"Trying to run away, huh!"
Vegeta spotted Burter's escape and scowled deeply.
In Vegeta's mind, if Jeice managed to reach Frieza or Ginyu, reinforcements would arrive—and death would certainly follow.
Just as Vegeta moved to chase after Jeice, Recoome suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
"Hey, Prince Vegeta! Your fight is with me!"
Recoome's massive frame was like an immovable wall, halting Vegeta's pursuit.
"Damn it!"
Vegeta clenched his fists, filled with frustration.
Meanwhile, Zeltron, who had been sitting on the rock, suddenly vanished without warning.
When he reappeared moments later, he was already 100 meters in the air.
Though Zeltron was unafraid, Burter aimed to bring Frieza or Ginyu to the battlefield.
But Zeltron would not tolerate anyone slipping away under his nose.
Interestingly, Zeltron did not immediately give chase—it seemed as if Burter was allowed a head start of about fifty meters.
Then, after only a few breaths, Zeltron suddenly radiated an intense, violent aura.
With a sharp cry, he shot forward like a beam of light, chasing Burter at astounding speed.
At the same time, a powerful shockwave burst below him, resembling a rocket launching.
The wave swept across the crowd. Vegeta, Son Gohan, Recoome, and others were all caught in the turbulent air.
"Ahem... what's going on?"
Amid the dust and smoke, Krillin coughed and complained.
"Krillin-san, that Saiyan's chasing the Universe's fastest guy who just fled!"
Son Gohan called out, eyes fixed on the chase.
"Haha! Burter's speed's supposed to be the fastest in the universe!"
Recoome looked up, sneering as he watched Zeltron pursue Burter.
From Recoome's perspective, despite Zeltron's strength, catching Burter should be impossible.
"Zeltron-sama!"
Just then, Rapp's elated voice rang out.
Everyone turned to see Zeltron swooping down swiftly, cradling a limp body in his arms—it was Burter, the self-proclaimed "Universe's Fastest."
"What...?"
Recoome stood frozen, horror washing over his face.
The fastest man in the universe was caught and killed with such shocking ease?
"This guy..."
Jiece's expression twisted with a mix of shock and fear.
If Zeltron could catch Burter so quickly, none of them had a chance to escape.
Death itself was not their greatest fear—it was the dread of the unknown and inevitable demise that crushed their spirits.
This consuming terror gripped Jiece's mind.
"That's incredible!"
"How could he catch the Universe's fastest guy so fast?"
As Burter's death sank in, Son Gohan and Krillin's eyes brightened with understanding and fear.
They had seen Burter's speed firsthand—how, just to prevent Frieza from collecting seven Dragon Balls, Vegeta had thrown a Dragon Ball with all his might only for Burter to snatch it instantly.
Yet now, Zeltron had overtaken Burter with absolutely no struggle.
