Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Solar Overload

Miko sat in a small cave a few miles from the lake, chewing on the unburnt parts of the lizard meat. Every bite felt like it was being converted into pure energy.

"System," Miko muttered between bites. "Open my status. I need to see what I'm actually working with."

[Ding!]

[Host: Miko]

[Race: Legendary Saiyan / Kryptonian Hybrid]

[Combat Power: 1,450 (Increasing...)]

[Abilities: Solar Absorption (Rank S), Zenkai Boost, Legendary Ki (Unstable)]

"1,450 already?" Miko choked on a piece of meat. "I've been on this planet for what, two hours? At this rate, I'll pass that King Lizard by tomorrow morning."

The blue sun was no joke. Back on Earth, Superman got his powers from a yellow sun, but a blue sun was supposed to be like a super-battery for Kryptonians. Combine that with the Saiyan "Limitless Growth," This just made me more of a super battery that a Saiyan hybrid .

Rumble...

The ground began to shake. Small pebbles danced on the cave floor.

"You've got to be kidding me," Miko groaned, standing up. "Can't a guy eat in peace?"

He walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down the hill. A massive shadow was moving through the trees. It was the King Lizard. It was easily twenty feet tall, covered in dark, obsidian-like scales that shimmered under the blue light.

It wasn't just looking for food. It was tracking the scent of its dead underlings.

[Target: King Lizard]

[Combat Power: 2,500]

The beast let out a roar that shattered the nearby trees. Its tail smashed a boulder into dust.

"2,500 vs 1,450," Miko calculated, his Saiyan blood starting to itch. The fear he felt earlier was being replaced by a weird, bubbling excitement. "The gap is big, but I have to try just this feeling of fighting a strong opponent is indeed wild my Saiyan genes are trembling with excitement ."

He looked at his hands. Small sparks of green electricity were dancing around his fingers.

"If I can just control the output of the Legendary Ki... I definetely will be stronger than him that's why I need to visit earth during planet Vegeta explosion and learn from master Roshi how to use Ki. I just need to learn tht alone and beating this guy with would be far easier than now."

The King Lizard spotted him. Its vertical pupils slit, and it charged up the hill like a freight train. The ground groaned under its weight.

"Alright, lizard king," Miko smirked, dropping into a low fighting stance he remembered from watching DBZ. "Let's see if this King can beat you into a pulp."

As the monster lunged, Miko didn't retreat. He pushed off the ground, his speed boosted by the raw solar radiation flowing through his veins, and met the beast head-on.

BOOM!

Their collision sent a shockwave through the clearing. Miko's small fist buried itself in the King Lizard's snout. The creature's head snapped back, but it didn't explode like the smaller ones.

"Tsk. Damn this shit is far harder than I thought," Miko muttered, his arm vibrating from the impact.

"This is my first goddamn battle and am coming on top lets fight to our best show me if you are worthy to be a King."

The King Lizard roared, its massive tail whipping around with the speed of a cyclone. Miko felt the wind pressure before it even hit. He ducked, the tail whistling inches above his head and shattering the cave entrance behind him.

The battlefield was a series of punches and kicks with the two opponent bluring as the fight went on punch for punch kick for kick, obviously Miko was running on pure Saiyan instinct he dosent know how to fight at all. But the Lizard king was different obviously it had gone through a lot of battle to reach this level so his fighting experience is much higher than Miko's he dosent understand why this creature killed its kin, but he is gonna have it's revenge.

"System! Give me a read on its weak points!" Miko shouted, eyes still focused on the battlefield 

[Scanning...]

[Target has high physical defense. Weakness: Throat and underbelly.]

"Standard monster stuff, huh? Fine."

The beast lunged again, its jaws snapping shut right where Miko's head had been a millisecond before. Miko was already in the air, using his Saiyan tail to balance himself.

He felt a surge of heat in his chest. The Kryptonian cells were absorbing the blue solar radiation at an alarming rate, but his Saiyan heart wanted to spend it all at once. It was a dangerous mix.

"Let's see how you like a point-blank shot!"

Miko dived under the creature's neck. He pressed both hands against the soft, pale scales of its throat.

"Green... Flash!"

A blinding emerald light erupted from his palms. Unlike the last time, Miko tried to compress the energy, forcing the wild Legendary Ki into a concentrated beam.

VREEE-BOOM!

"But Miko dosent have enough experience with Ki at all, even this move was merely a miracle because of the high compression of raw energy the blast didn't just burn the lizard; it propelled Miko backward from the sheer recoil. He tumbled through the air, and hit his back on a few trees. He stood up once more with pure battle instinct with no regards for fighting techniques or moves.

The King Lizard thrashed, a massive, smoking hole cauterized into its neck. It let out one final, gurgling screech before collapsing, its weight shaking the very foundation of the hill.

[Ding!]

[Level Up!]

[Combat Power: 1,450 -> 1,800]

[Hidden Reward: Basic Ki Control Unlocked.]

"1,800..." Miko panted, his chest heaving. "The Zenkai boost from that strain, plus the blue sun... this is getting ridiculous."

He walked over to the dead King. He was exhausted, but he felt full. The solar energy was already repairing his bruised muscles and injuries.

"One day down," Miko said, looking up at the blue star as it began to set, replaced by two smaller moons. "I'm already twice as strong as I was this morning. At this rate, I would be able to conquer this planet even sooner, plus this new skill I would be capable of growing even stronger ."

He looked at the dead lizard king, with a hint of savage hunger. "For know am just hungry, and my prize looks tasty."
