"According to the latest reports, Earth is being invaded. Alien creatures are sweeping across the planet. The city destruction rate has reached over 80%. Experts even predict that Earth has fallen apart and will disintegrate soon..."
"East City is destroyed! East City is destroyed!"
"There are metal mechanical creatures everywhere, they... they..."
"The devils are coming! Everyone run away!"
Reports were constantly transmitted to all corners of the world, the latest news broadcast with the last blood through the few remaining radio stations and the fearless workers who stuck to their posts.
But even the final broadcasts revealed a strong apocalyptic atmosphere, with dark clouds of despair hovering over the world.
Some people drank themselves into oblivion. Some gathered with their families, mourning or fondly holding onto nostalgia for the past while waiting for final judgment to come. Some people trembled in fear, buried in the abyss of despair along with the collapsed buildings and sunken ground.
Metal demons raged across the world. Strange planets were peeling off Earth bit by bit, the sky was growing dark, and a cold atmosphere filled everyone's hearts.
In the midst of despair, people saw a glimmer of hope!
Someone spotted fighters battling the metal creatures. They galloped across the sea, sky, and ground—fist to fist, energy wave to energy wave. Violent winds were split as golden rays of light blazed one after another among the rolling lightning and thunder.
In addition to this, there were demons fighting demons!
Piccolo was surrounded by white gaseous flames as violent storms blew wildly around him. He pierced through the surrounding Metal Coolers with tremendous force, his figure shuttling among the flowing Cooler army like a tank crushing toy cars. There was one who tried to use Instant Transmission to approach, but the vigilant Piccolo grabbed his head and tail, forcing him apart as if threatening to tear him in two!
The powerful Metal Cooler was extremely fragile in Piccolo's hands, and with Piccolo's roar, the whole thing broke in half.
"Uncle Piccolo, be careful!" Gohan suddenly exclaimed.
Just as Piccolo was tearing apart the Metal Cooler, several more approached silently. It turned out the first one was just cannon fodder to attract attention! These were the real killing moves.
When Gohan warned them, Cooler's attack had already succeeded. They pierced Piccolo's abdomen from all angles, the sharp aura from their palms like blue longswords, stabbing through Piccolo while simultaneously splashing purple blood.
There were five staggered blue rays of light piercing through Piccolo, then they twisted, making the blood holes bigger and bigger as blood flowed like syrup.
Metal Cooler showed a smug smile, as if he'd gained the biggest advantage. "Namekian, you're too reckless." As he spoke, he pulled out his aura demonstratively and stabbed again.
Piccolo's body shook, splashing bright blood.
"Hehe, is this all your strength? As I said, I'm also a demon!" The deep, cold voice was like a thin snake coiling around the body, swimming across the back, piercing the ear, and penetrating to the bone marrow.
The demonic Metal Coolers actually felt frightened, and they wavered.
They couldn't imagine why Piccolo, who had been stabbed nearly to death, still had such a tone and such a deterrent effect.
In an instant, they only felt space tremble, and their bodies couldn't move!
Piccolo roared furiously, and yellow light spewed from his mouth, sweeping around and engulfing five Metal Coolers. The Metal Coolers couldn't move instantly, couldn't fly away, and couldn't even move a finger!
Seeing the vast energy drown them, only the sound of mechanical "ahhhhhhhhh" was left behind.
Immediately afterward, there was a series of thunderous explosions, thick smoke billowing in the air—not even a single fragment remained.
Gohan was stunned, watching Uncle Piccolo's performance in the sky, his eyes sparkling: "Amazing..."
When he was on Yardrat, in addition to meditation, Piccolo had learned this restraint technique, which was effective against living creatures and could make a person's body constrained and unable to move. It was an essential ability for Yardrat's peacekeepers.
Using it on the Metal Coolers made them completely helpless.
Of course, this technique, like any other ability, was useless in battles where the strength difference was obvious. Even if Piccolo used the restraint technique against Raditz, all he could do was slow Raditz's movements slightly.
After all, strength was king.
Piccolo, who had been pierced through his body, quickly recovered in a short time. The Metal Coolers around him exchanged data and became cautious.
They changed their goals somewhat, paying more attention to Gohan and planning to kill him first.
But Piccolo's eyes flashed, and he landed next to Gohan instantly, blocking the Metal Coolers' ambitions.
"Uncle Piccolo, you've gotten stronger again! You're even stronger than on Planet Yardrat."
"Hmph, just dealing with these metal toys. Follow me!" Piccolo glanced at Gohan and said lightly.
"Right!"
With Uncle Piccolo beside him, Gohan immediately lifted his spirits, stabilized his Super Saiyan state, adjusted his breathing, and moved forward following Piccolo's lead.
Piccolo charged forward while simultaneously firing numerous ki blasts from his hands. The scattered ki blasts were easily avoided by the Metal Coolers, but they didn't fly straight into the sky—instead hanging in midair like stars.
There were more and more "stars," bringing frightening pressure. The Metal Coolers also realized something was wrong and looked up. At the same time, Piccolo crossed his arms, and countless ki blasts bombarded destructively like torrential rain.
The indiscriminate barrage made the Metal Coolers flee frantically, but these ki blasts seemed to have targets, chasing after them and bombarding them. Clusters of burning flames shot into the sky—from a distance, it seemed like half the earth was ignited.
On the sea surface, Goku wiped his sweat after repelling two Coolers. "Gohan and Piccolo will be fine together."
"Kakarot, take care of yourself." Vegeta was also deeply surrounded, and this group of seemingly endless Metal Coolers rushed toward them. "Damn! Raditz, haven't you found the entrance yet?"
He casually blocked a Cooler's attack and blasted another opening. But soon, new Metal Coolers filled the gap and continued fighting him. These hateful, weird creatures had already made him very angry—he wished he could destroy Boundless's chip right now.
"Almost there—one more minute and the analysis results will be ready." Raditz's eyes were piercing as he hammered back with one hand, knocking away a Cooler who was about to attack sneakily. But the sheer number providing cover caused Raditz a headache.
But seeing the explosions on the horizon and three figures flying from afar, Raditz smiled again.
