Chapter 68: The Terror Descends!
Popo's words left everyone puzzled.
Shenron?
The Guardian looked at Mu Chuan with a serious expression.
As Mu Chuan listened to Popo's words, his expression gradually became more solemn, showing a level of seriousness he rarely displayed.
"Mr. Popo is correct. I did indeed use the power of Shenron to teleport back to Earth just now."
"Was there an emergency? Is that why you returned so urgently?"
"Yes. Not long ago, a terrifying being was born in the solar system. This being is a clone of the original inhabitants of Planet Plant, known as the Tuffles!"
"What??!!"
Suddenly, Axianna and the other Saiyans exclaimed in shock.
Planet Plant?
The Tuffle King?
Isn't that the original name of Planet Vegeta?
The Saiyans were all stunned.
Wasn't the Tuffle King destroyed along with his entire race? How could a clone exist? What on earth is going on?
At this moment, everyone was not only shocked but also filled with confusion.
"Boss, you're not joking, right?"
"A clone of the Tuffle King? But weren't the Tuffles wiped out long ago? How could a clone still exist?!"
Mu Chuan patiently explained.
"Indeed, when we Saiyans invaded Planet Plant, we completely annihilated the Tuffles, including the Tuffle King, who perished during that invasion."
"However, he was unwilling to accept his destruction, so he encoded all of his knowledge and genetic material into a special lifeform's DNA, thus creating a terrifying clone."
"This special lifeform was released into the universe, and once it has matured, it will seek revenge against the Saiyans."
"And now, this being has entered its growth phase and is very close to Earth."
"It's likely that Earth is its target..."
"No, the target must be the Saiyans!"
As Mu Chuan spoke, all the Saiyans present finally understood what was happening.
And given that this clone was described by their leader as so terrifying, it meant that its power must be incredibly strong.
This was bad news!
The Guardian and Popo, listening to all this, were visibly unsettled, their expressions shifting from worry to contemplation.
To them, the invasion of planets and the genocide of entire races were deeply unsettling topics.
This left them at a loss for words, but upon hearing that a clone was approaching Earth, their expressions tightened with concern.
Seeing everyone fall into silence, Mu Chuan showed a slight smile and said, "There's no need to worry. Even though this being is powerful, as long as we are cautious, we can handle it."
"Because I will face him myself!"
"He's a stubborn opponent, and to be honest, I'm eager to test my current combat power. There aren't many people left who can make me go all out!"
As Mu Chuan spoke, the group felt slightly relieved.
However...
He was only saying this to ease their minds. In reality, things were not as simple as he made them out to be. He knew well enough that his own power wasn't as overwhelming as he claimed.
What did he mean by "not many people can make me go all out"?
There are countless beings in the Dragon Ball universe capable of doing just that.
He's barely scratched the surface.
But he only said this to keep everyone from worrying too much.
Next, to ensure that the group wouldn't underestimate Baby, Mu Chuan divulged everything he knew about Baby, including all of Baby's various abilities and techniques.
This revelation caused an uproar among the group.
"Oh my God, he can actually possess others' bodies and absorb their power to grow stronger?"
"That's an absolutely broken ability! If he keeps growing, won't there be no one who can stand against him?"
Mu Chuan nodded in agreement. After all, in the original story, Baby did just that, even forcing Goku to face everyone alone!
That feeling of loneliness and desolation washed over him.
Mu Chuan's eyes suddenly became incredibly determined.
"Don't worry, I won't let any of you face Baby. I'll handle him myself!"
After explaining the stakes, Mu Chuan patiently awaited Baby's arrival.
He didn't know exactly when Baby would come, but he had made this prediction based on Baby's actions of acquiring technological chip.
Whether Baby would actually come to Earth...
He couldn't be certain!
...
Meanwhile.
On the surface of the moon, a damaged spaceship was slowly drifting closer to Earth.
After so much time, this spaceship had finally absorbed enough energy, but it was so badly damaged that getting it to even start was already a stroke of luck.
Naturally, its speed was now excruciatingly slow.
Yet, Baby had no complaints about the situation. Instead, he looked at the blue planet ahead, a sinister smile creeping across his face.
"Saiyans..."
"You wretched monkeys!"
"Hiding on this planet, are you? Then I'll make each one of you experience pain before your inevitable extinction, so you can taste the despair of annihilation!"
"Tremble before me!!"
Baby's vicious words were delivered with confidence, but looking at the spaceship's sluggish speed, the whole scene felt somewhat comical.
It was moving as slowly as a glider, inching its way towards Earth. At this rate, it might take a day or two to even arrive.
Yet, Baby spoke as if he'd be there in an instant.
Dr. Myuu, standing nearby, could only shake his head in silence.
He just stood there, staring ahead.
There was no way to speed up the spaceship—it was too badly damaged, and all the energy had been painstakingly drawn from the sun.
It had taken a full year to gather that energy.
Otherwise, they would have reached Earth long ago, but even now, it wasn't too late!
Time ticked by second by second.
On King Kai's planet, King Kai's antennae twitched, and he jumped up from his chair.
"This aura... why does it feel so strange, so filled with hatred, yet so powerful?!"
"And why does it carry a sense of decay?"
King Kai felt something was wrong and immediately tried to sense the source of this terrifying aura. He caught sight of the slowly approaching spaceship.
The aura inside was even more terrifying!
He took a step back in shock.
"This aura is so evil, and it's incredibly terrifying! This isn't good, not good at all!!"
"This is far worse than Frieza by countless times, there's no comparison at all!"
"Why is such an evil creature appearing here? And it seems to be heading toward Earth. What's happening on Earth?"
"Why does it keep attracting these kinds of monsters?!"
At this moment, King Kai was truly panicking. He never imagined such a terrifying being would appear, and he hurriedly tried to contact the Saiyans on Earth.
