“My scouter… actually… exploded?!”
Facing the explosion of his scouter, Dore’s body trembled, his fear growing uncontrollably.
He knew that the scouter he was wearing was the most advanced model currently available in Cooler Force.
The fact that even his scouter had exploded meant that Talot’s power level had now far exceeded 300,000!
Cold sweat unknowingly soaked his battle armor—this was the first time he had ever felt this way.
“Weren’t you acting arrogant just now? Why are you feeling scared now?” Talot locked onto Dore and raised his hand, firing a powerful energy beam.
Sensing the deadly threat contained within the energy beam, Dore immediately realized how dire the situation was. Fear paralyzed him, leaving him unable to move, and he could only cry out to Cooler for help: “Lord Cooler!! Save me!!”
Unfortunately, Cooler had no intention of saving him.
The cold and ruthless emperor had never spared those he deemed useless.
The only reason the Armored Squadron had been heavily relied upon for so long was because they could handle many tasks for him.
Now, Dore’s performance had greatly disappointed Cooler. So, despite initially considering allowing Dore to retreat, he ultimately dismissed the idea.
‘BOOM~~!!!!!!’
The energy beam struck Dore’s body, triggering a massive explosion.
Intense flames engulfed the sky, unleashing an enormous storm.
It wasn’t until a long time had passed that the fire and smoke in midair finally dissipated. Dore, with a power level of 185,000, had been completely obliterated—instantly killed by a single attack from Talot.
…
Meanwhile.
As the deafening explosion echoed across the battlefield, Salza and Neiz—who had been chasing after Salari and Raditz—both noticed the situation.
The two of them were completely stunned, staring in shock toward the site of the explosion.
“The scouter isn’t responding at all… Dore… was actually killed! How is this possible?!” Salza’s face was filled with shock, and a chill ran down his spine.
Although he was the captain of the Armored Squadron, Dore had the highest power level among the three of them.
It was unbelievable—Dore, with a power level of 185,000, had actually been killed. This made Salza wary—just how high had that Saiyan’s power level reached?
There was no way it was only 160,000!
“You seem really concerned about your companion. How about I send you down to join him? Getting distracted in battle can be deadly.” Salari’s voice rang out from behind Salza.
“Damn it!!” In an instant, a chilling sensation surged from behind, making Salza realize that he was in grave danger.
He instinctively gathered energy into Ki Blade and swung it backward, but Salari dodged with ease.
‘Boom!!!!!!!’ A muffled impact sounded.
The moment she dodged, Salari landed a powerful blow straight into Salza’s stomach. The sheer force instantly shattered his battle armor and inflicted serious injuries.
“D-Damn it! You’re asking for death!” No longer in the mood to be gentle or to tease Salari, the injured Salza was consumed with rage and launched a relentless assault with his Ki Blade.
Salza’s fierce offensive—against any ordinary opponent, even those with power levels in the hundreds of thousands—would force them to retreat. Anyone with a power level comparable to his would struggle to defend against it.
However, in Salari’s eyes, his speed was far too slow.
Countless slashes of the Ki Blade, each sharp and powerful, yet Salari evaded them effortlessly.
“Looks like you’re not that impressive after all. I thought I had found a worthy opponent, but it turns out I overestimated you.” Salari mocked.
She spoke casually, toying with Salza in the palm of her hand.
No matter how hard Salza attacked, he couldn’t land a single hit on her.
To Salza, the movements Salari executed were simply impossible for any normal person to perform!
【How can this be happening?! Could this female Saiyan’s power level be higher than mine? No, impossible! I don’t believe it!】 Salza’s mind wavered. As the captain of the Armored Squadron, he submitted to no one except Cooler, Frieza, and King Cold.
Even Dore, who had a higher power level, had to treat him with the utmost respect.
Being toyed with by a mere female Saiyan wounded Salza’s pride.
“I’m done playing with you.” Salari didn’t care about his inner struggles. She flashed a confident smile and suddenly unleashed her power.
Using seventy percent of her strength, she moved at a speed undetectable by the naked eye. In an instant, she closed in on Salza and delivered a powerful uppercut.
‘Boom!!!!’ The unstoppable strike landed squarely on Salza’s chin.
Hit by the devastating blow, Salza’s body was thrown into the air. Fear and pain filled his mind as his consciousness grew even more blurred.
When he finally snapped back to his senses, he was utterly horrified.
This was impossible—he hadn’t even seen her move, yet he was completely overpowered by a woman.
Before he could react, Salari grabbed his ankle with one hand, channeled her full strength, and slammed his body straight onto the ground.
‘Boom~~!!!!!!!’ A deafening explosion echoed.
Salza’s body crashed into the ground with tremendous force, causing the ground to collapse inward and sending waves of dust and sand flying in all directions.
The terrifying impact spread through his entire body. His mouth hung open as a surge of internal energy and blood erupted from within, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
His entire worldview was shattered—he never imagined this female Saiyan could be so far beyond his understanding.
“Is that all?” Salari once again gathered power in her leg and kicked Salza away with a single, forceful strike.
Then, with a single arm charged and energy condensed into form, she swung fiercely, launching an incredibly destructive energy blast that hit Salza with pinpoint accuracy.
‘Boom!!!!!!!!’ The explosion lit up the sky, sending shockwaves rippling outward like massive waves.
With the battle seemingly over, Salari clapped the dust off her hands and confidently turned away.
She was confident in herself—perhaps a little too overconfident.
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Salza was still alive.
At this moment, his battle armor was mostly destroyed, leaving him looking utterly battered.
But instead of dying, the brutal assault had awakened his latent potential, making him even stronger.
Now, he looked like a ferocious beast on the verge of erupting out.
