Everyone on Earth was immersed in joyous celebration when suddenly Raditz's emergency communicator rang.
Raditz had originally recruited subordinates to obtain more information and observe universal dynamics. Various scientific and technological problems also needed to be solved by those alien scientists.
These subordinates had indeed helped a lot—finding people, providing supplies, healing injuries, researching new flight equipment, and more. When Raditz couldn't use instant transmission, he relied heavily on them for assistance. But in the battle against Frieza, Raditz had deeply realized that ultimately, strength was most important. No matter how much his subordinates could help, it was useless if they could be killed with one punch.
As his strength grew stronger, Raditz gradually stopped managing daily affairs and only maintained contact with Jeice, Burter, Angila, and the old Tumat scientists. They reported general situations to Raditz monthly, and the rest was up to them.
To allow Jeice and others to contact him when necessary, he'd specially equipped Jeice, Burter, and Angila with emergency communicators. Using advanced Tumat technology, they could instantly transmit signals across the universe.
He'd repeatedly stressed that this contact should only be used for the highest level emergencies.
Now it was ringing.
The sharp sound pierced through the beautiful celebration, like a spear thrust into a calm lake. Raditz was startled for a moment.
"What's wrong, Jeice?" He pressed the communicator.
"Major crisis! The universe is under inexplicable attack! There's some kind of metal mechanical creature accompanying a huge planet in the northern galaxy. They latch onto other planets to absorb energy. The most terrifying part is they're everywhere throughout the universe—dozens of planets have already been destroyed! We... the people we sent were also wiped out!"
"Metal mechanical creatures and planets?!"
"Yes, according to survivor reports, they're all metal mechanical life forms that emerged from the planet, and each one has extremely powerful strength." Jeice's voice grew more trembling. "From what I can see, there's one massive mechanical planet... heading toward Earth!"
The emergency communicator's sound carried, and the terrifying message stunned everyone.
"Jeice, you better not be mistaken!" Raditz's expression suddenly became serious, his tone almost a warning.
"It's true!"
On the other end, Jeice was nearly collapsing from anxiety—there was no mistake about it.
He and a group of elites in the communication room were anxiously waiting for a reply, everyone sweating profusely as if they'd just emerged from a sauna.
"Wait for me!" Raditz said those two words.
Everyone's hearts immediately felt relief. If Raditz came over, things would turn around. Jeice wiped sweat from his forehead, feeling like his chest might explode.
In the next second, Raditz appeared via instant transmission.
He saw the panicked crowd and immediately heard screams and explosions coming through the communicator, while signals detected by universal sensors continued transmitting.
"I'm here. Tell me everything carefully."
"It started a month ago, when..."
Jeice told the whole story of the crisis.
To improve communication, he'd set up branches in various galaxies, but those planets with inhabitants had the right to develop independently without interference. There were also some desolate but livable planets left for survivors of destroyed worlds.
The fighters trained by the Alliance were also assigned throughout space. They helped raise the overall level of the universe and were even more effective at fighting crime than King Kai's patrol. There were still many commissions and space courier orders, plus the business network of the Feida galaxy—the space transportation industry had great prospects.
At the same time, protective lines and detection networks were built throughout the universe. Raditz could see large-scale changes through the Supreme Kai's realm, but couldn't pinpoint extremely precise details. The observation points and fighters arranged throughout the universe in the past were now proving their worth.
But the calm had been broken a month ago. Several planets suddenly exploded, some mysteriously disappeared, and branch reports often attributed them to natural phenomena. Jeice hadn't paid much attention. A few hours ago, large-scale disaster broke out, and Jeice panicked. For a moment, it seemed like the entire universe was full of metal mechanical monsters—they were everywhere!
He began to realize that a month ago, they might have been brewing disaster, and now they'd had one massive outbreak.
After a moment of silence, Raditz asked, "How many planets disappeared in total?"
"More than thirty uninhabited planets, and many inhabited ones. Among them, over forty planets have been attacked in just the past few hours—some swallowed, some wiped out."
"I understand." Raditz looked at Jeice. "Give the order—all headquarters members prepare for counterattack! We're going to eliminate all these monsters!"
"But there are too many of them! And each one isn't weak. If we meet them head-on, we might be wiped out!"
"You don't have much confidence in our fighters." Raditz walked up to Jeice. "Tree of Might fruit, gravity training rooms, martial arts tournaments—how could fighters who've experienced so many enhancement methods lose to those toys?"
"Understood!"
Jeice suddenly perked up, and with Raditz's encouragement, his confidence immediately surged.
Raditz had a vague guess about what these things were—only Big Gete Star could create metal life forms. The former advanced civilization had extremely terrifying transformation abilities, but this time Cooler was completely destroyed, King Cold and Frieza were also annihilated. Big Gete Star couldn't integrate such monsters anymore—what was created was nothing more than scrap metal.
There was nothing to fear!
Ten minutes later, Raditz and Jeice had gathered all fighters at headquarters and notified the elite fighters stationed on other planets. The most powerful combat forces were assembling at headquarters, preparing for counterattack.
After many years, it was their turn to fight again!
Since dealing with Frieza and the Cold family battle, they hadn't fought such a large-scale war. The fighters' ambitions were ignited, their fighting spirit soaring.
"Lord Raditz is going to lead us to make history again! Haha, it's been too long since we've had a real fight!"
"Yeah, old friend, time for a good battle!"
"But the enemy this time won't be easy. I heard even the Tenth Guard and Branch 17 were completely wiped out."
"Haha, the guards are just planetary militias, and the branches naturally can't compete with us. We'll definitely crush those bastards!"
"Long live the Galactic Justice League!"
They screamed and shouted, raising fists and arms.
Seeing the high enthusiasm of these soldiers, Jeice felt much more at ease. Most importantly, with Raditz present, everyone's morale was greatly boosted—it was as if they'd already seen victory before the battle even began.
