Three days had passed since Bardock left Planet Vegeta for Planet Meat; by his calculations, he should be arriving soon.
Over the past few days, Qin Yan had kept a constant lock on Bardock's Ki. It was moving at high speeds the sign of a spaceship in flight. Once that energy signature came to a halt, it would mean he had reached his destination.
Qin Yan also noticed that the Royal Palace was beginning to stir. King Vegeta was clearly making his move, gathering the Saiyan elite in preparation for a rebellion against Frieza.
On this day, Qin Yan and little Liya were idling at home. Qin Yan was currently immersed in his System's sign-in interface. Today was another Yearly Sign-in. Aside from thirty million Battle Power and 100 Ultra Instinct shards, there was nothing else.
This left Qin Yan a bit disappointed. By his estimations, even if there weren't any new items, the Battle Power bonus should have been at least a hundred million. Reality, however, had defied his expectations.
Qin Yan opened the System panel to review his information.
*[Host: Qin Yan (Saiyan Name: Karos)]*
*[Age: 8.5 years old]*
*[Battle Power: Over 180 Million]*
*[Cultivation Method: Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art (1st Layer, Level 5)]*
*[Martial Arts: Energy Wave, Kamehameha, Primordial Infinite Wave, Kaio-ken, Solar Flare]*
*[Equipment: Chaos Mystery Ring 227 (Controllable time flow, 5x speed)]*
*[Items: Ultra Instinct (1386/10000), Senzu Beans x3876, Weighted Turtle Shells x1260, Special Battle Armor x764, Training Suits x600 sets]*
*[Comprehensive Evaluation: Still an existence no better than an ant.]*
"This System is too much," Qin Yan muttered, feeling a wave of annoyance. "I have a Battle Power of over 180 million, yet I'm still considered an ant? This is never going to end."
His base Battle Power had reached over 180 million. Even without transforming into a Super Saiyan, he possessed enough strength to absolutely crush Frieza. If he were to become a Super Saiyan, his power would soar to over 18 billion.
He didn't know if any Gods of Destruction existed in this era, but as long as there wasn't one wandering nearby, his current strength was enough to sweep across the universe.
Ping!
A flash of inspiration struck Qin Yan's mind. He felt Bardock's Ki come to a standstill. It seemed Bardock had arrived at Planet Meat. Since that was the case, it was time for him to act.
Qin Yan stood up and looked at the girl beside him. "Let's go, Liya. We're heading out for a bit."
"Okay!" the little girl chirped.
Qin Yan first went to find their parents. He planned to take them to Planet Meat to witness the upcoming events personally. That way, they would know his words were true Frieza really did intend to destroy Planet Vegeta and exterminate the Saiyan race.
Meanwhile, on Planet Meat.
The moment Bardock stepped off his ship, his eyes were met with a scene of utter devastation. Rubble, ruins, and corpses were scattered everywhere. He knew Tora and the others had already begun their work here, turning this into a one-sided slaughter a war of "mowing the lawn."
Bardock flew toward the direction where his scouter detected the highest concentrations of energy.
Before long, he spotted Tora and the rest of the team in the middle of a town, wreaking havoc and butchering the inhabitants of Planet Meat. After a brief greeting, Bardock excitedly joined the fray.
With Bardock's powerful reinforcement, the group fought with even greater ferocity, significantly accelerating their conquest of the planet.
In just two hours, they had scoured the entire world. Aside from Bardock, Tora and the others were utterly exhausted, nursing various minor injuries. Only Bardock remained in peak condition due to his overwhelming strength.
Bardock and his teammates sat amidst the ruins to rest.
Suddenly, the air shifted. An Energy Wave shrieked toward them at a blistering speed. Fortunately, Bardock's reflexes were sharp; he shouted a warning, and everyone scrambled to dodge.
The powerful energy blast detonated exactly where they had been sitting. The ground shook violently as flames shot into the sky and dust billowed outward. A massive crater was left in the wake of the explosion. The team sucked in a breath of cold air; if that had hit them, they would have been dead or severely maimed.
Once they regained their footing, the group huddled together. Tora and the others thanked Bardock before turning a wary gaze toward the source of the blast, assuming it was a sneak attack from a survivor.
Instead, they saw five dark silhouettes slowly walking toward them through the haze.
"Do... Dodoria?"
"Why... why are you here?"
As the figures became clear, Bardock and his teammates were struck with shock, confusion, and disbelief.
Hidden in the shadows, Qin Yan's parents were equally stunned. They couldn't understand why Frieza's direct subordinate his right-hand man, Dodoria would appear here.
Qin Yan and Liya had already arrived on Planet Meat with their parents. The moment Qin Yan detected a powerful Battle Power other than Bardock's team, he knew it was Dodoria. He had used Instant Transmission to move everyone near the battlefield to observe.
As for why Dodoria's scouter hadn't picked up their parents' energy, it was because Qin Yan was using the Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art to mask their auras.
"Damn it! Why, Dodoria? Why are you attacking us?" Bardock demanded, his voice trembling with rage.
"What are you doing here?" Tora questioned with a scowl. That attack had nearly cost them their lives, and his anger was reaching a boiling point.
Qin Yan's parents watched with furrowed brows, their hearts filled with indignation. They had seen everything; it was Dodoria's group that had struck first.
However, Dodoria and his men offered no answers. They merely stared at Bardock and Tora with wicked, mocking smiles, looking at them as if they were already dead.
With a simple wave of his hand, Dodoria sent his four subordinates charging toward Bardock's teammates.
Dodoria himself lunged at Bardock.
A chaotic battle erupted instantly. However, Bardock's squad Tora, Borgos, Fasha, and Shugesh were already drained from their previous conquest. Facing Frieza's fresh subordinates, who were of similar strength, they found themselves unable to put up a proper fight and were driven back step by step.
Things weren't going well for Bardock either. Although his strength had increased significantly, the gap between him and a direct subordinate like Dodoria was still far too vast. Dodoria's Battle Power exceeded 20,000.
Bardock was being systematically suppressed. To make matters worse, strange and eerie images he had never seen before kept flashing through his mind. A moment of distraction cost him dearly, as Dodoria landed several heavy blows that left him seriously wounded.
A moment later, Bardock's teammate, Fasha, reached her limit. She was struck by one of Frieza's men and sent crashing into the ground, her fate unknown.
Qin Yan's parents could no longer bear to watch from the sidelines.
"Stop!"
Qin Yan's father, Benas, stepped out from the shadows and let out a thunderous roar. Qin Yan's mother and Liya's parents followed immediately behind him.
"Hmm?"
The sudden intervention startled both sides. The combatants froze and quickly leapt back to create distance.
Neither side had expected anyone else to be hiding there. What was more terrifying was that they hadn't sensed them at all.
