"Right! I remember now—in the screen earlier, that Orochimaru guy said that xenomorphs, when still in their egg stage, can inherit abilities from their hosts after hatching!"
Gohan suddenly spoke up, his body trembling as he explained.
"That means… Uncle Tien and Uncle Krillin… they're already…"
He couldn't finish the sentence.
"No way…"
"Tien…"
Yamcha and Chiaotzu's pupils trembled with disbelief.
"How… how did we end up being too late…"
Goku lowered his head, unwilling to accept the truth.
"I'm sorry, Goku…"
Kami's voice echoed in Goku's mind.
"It's true. Tien and Krillin died half an hour ago. Their souls are now in King Yemma's palace."
Kami's voice was filled with sorrow.
"Damn it… Tien can still be revived… but Krillin… Krillin can't come back again…"
Goku clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding together in fury. His eyes trembled as he recalled countless memories with Krillin.
"Bastards! You're not worthy to use their techniques!"
Yamcha exploded in rage, roaring as he started walking toward the two xenomorphs who had copied their friends' moves.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Suddenly, five energy blasts of different colors shot toward them.
Yamcha quickly jumped back to avoid them.
Then, from the shadows near the Xenomorph Queen, five more xenomorphs of various sizes leapt out and landed in front of Goku's group.
Strangely, the moment they landed, they each struck bizarre poses:
One bent forward, head poking out from between its legs.
One raised its right arm high, left arm across its chest, balancing on one foot.
Another struck a ballet pose.
One squatted with arms spread to both sides.
The last leaned to the side in a wide horse stance, arms raised diagonally.
Seeing these poses, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Gohan couldn't help but blink in confusion.
"These poses… where have I seen them before…"
Yamcha narrowed his eyes, trying to remember.
"Ah! It's the Ginyu Force! Vegeta mentioned them!"
Gohan suddenly remembered.
"When they first came to Earth, didn't they do these exact poses? After getting injured by Blood Pool monsters, they were taken away by the xenomorphs…"
"Which means… those aliens are dead too!"
Yamcha immediately realized what had happened.
"Screeeee!!"
The Xenomorph Queen let out a strange shriek.
It was mocking them—as if laughing at their weakness.
It clearly believed the powerful xenomorphs it had cultivated were more than enough to deal with Goku's team.
Then her voice changed—full of hate and rage.
Affected by her fury, the seven xenomorphs that had mastered ki let out bone-chilling hisses, ready to attack at any moment!
BOOOOOM!
Suddenly, a quake rocked the entire mine. The ground and walls shook violently.
Cracks formed as dozens of grotesque xenomorphs with twisted, deformed bodies and pus-filled boils crawled out.
And every one of them radiated powerful ki!
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!!
Heavy footsteps and chaotic screeches echoed from all directions.
Countless xenomorphs rushed in through nearby tunnels, swarming into every corner and surrounding Goku's group.
No one could've imagined just how many there truly were.
"They used the Blood Pool monsters… to breed more xenomorphs…"
Gohan looked at the twisted creatures and the remains of the Blood Pool monsters—instantly understanding the horrific truth.
"Worse than that—every single one of them knows how to use ki now!"
Yamcha scanned their surroundings, anxiety rising.
Judging from their energy, each xenomorph was several times stronger than Yamcha—who had just completed training with Kami!
Even though Yamcha's battle power now exceeded tens of thousands, these numbers were overwhelming.
Not to mention the ones with the power of the Ginyu Force, Krillin, and Tien…
"Heh… doesn't matter. We still have Goku on our side!"
Yamcha calmed himself down.
No matter what, they had Goku.
"Goku… we're counting on you again!"
Yamcha looked toward him.
Goku took a slow step forward, head still bowed.
His demeanor made the others pause in concern.
"Dad…"
Gohan could tell something was off—he was worried.
"Damn it… they killed Krillin…"
Goku clenched his fists, grinding his teeth so hard it seemed they might break.
"Others can be brought back by the Dragon Balls… but Krillin has already died once. He can't be revived again!"
Tears welled in Goku's eyes.
But his gaze suddenly sharpened—filled with murderous intent and fury.
"You monsters… I'll make you PAY!!"
With a thunderous roar, Goku's ki erupted like a volcano!
The entire mine trembled. Cracks split the ground and walls.
The shock made Gohan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu stumble, struggling to steady themselves.
BOOM! BOOM!
Had they been outside, they would've seen that the once-clear sky had become stormy and dark, lightning flashing wildly.
"AAAAHHHH!!"
Goku's roar grew louder, and his energy surged violently.
His hair turned golden, and his body became wrapped in crackling lightning.
Super Saiyan 2!
The overwhelming pressure made every xenomorph freeze.
They didn't just stop from fear—they were instinctively paralyzed.
It wasn't that they couldn't move.
Their survival instinct screamed at them not to move.
Not to fight the man with golden hair.
Because that would mean certain death.
A chilling terror swept over the horde.
At that moment, in this unfamiliar universe… the xenomorphs experienced a foreign emotion for the first time—
Fear.
"DIE!!"
With a roar, Goku's terrifying aura exploded outward—he gave them no chance to flee.
A colossal golden energy pillar burst forth from the mine, engulfing everything.
The shockwaves rocked the land and skies for miles—causing a natural disaster.
"That… that's Goku's ki!"
From far away, Piccolo sensed the power of Super Saiyan 2 Goku and his face turned grim.
