In the past, even though Saiyans called themselves a warrior race, they were often little more than a joke within Frieza's army.
After all, most Saiyans didn't even have power levels over 10,000.
If not for their ability to transform into Great Apes, they probably would've been treated as cannon fodder.
But this time, when several hundred of Frieza's soldiers launched a full assault on the Saiyan squad stationed on Planet Tivi—fewer than ten in total—they encountered something utterly unexpected.
These weren't the weaklings of the past.
These few Saiyans turned the battlefield into a massacre—shattering Frieza's forces with overwhelming might. Even the elite Ginyu Force was nearly annihilated.
Recoome, Burter, Jeice, Guldo…
All four of Ginyu's subordinates had been instantly obliterated by a single female Saiyan.
Had Frieza not been observing from the sidelines and intervened in time, even Ginyu himself might've been killed.
In the battle that followed, Ginyu finally understood why that Saiyan woman was so powerful.
She was a Super Saiyan—a warrior of legend!
Even Lord Frieza, despite transforming twice and pushing his power to the limit, was completely overpowered—battered and bloodied.
Fortunately, in a desperate rage, Frieza launched his signature Planet Destruction Bomb, wiping out Planet Tivi in a single instant—otherwise, he likely would've been killed again by a Super Saiyan so soon after his resurrection.
"Damn it! These filthy Saiyans! Now I have to rebuild the entire special forces team again! Can I even find warriors as good as Recoome and the others?" Ginyu clenched his teeth in fury.
Just then—Beep beep beep!
A shrill alarm sounded from the ship's energy scanner. Ginyu looked up. "What is it?!"
"Captain Ginyu! We're detecting a massive energy spike up ahead!"
"What?! Where exactly?!"
"It's… right near Lord Frieza's location! It looks like… a Saiyan!"
Zwoosh!
Lynx exited Instant Transmission and appeared at the coordinates of Planet Tivi.
But the next moment—his feet met empty space, and a wave of suffocating pressure hit him.
Holding his breath, Lynx realized he was floating in the vacuum of space—Planet Tivi was gone.
Looking around at the scattered debris, Lynx immediately understood.
So that's why…That's why all contact with Hanasia and her team had been lost.
The planet had been destroyed.And the only one capable of that level of destruction… was Frieza.
And indeed—he felt it.
A massive energy signature nearby.
Turning, Lynx saw him.
Frieza—his body part organic, part mechanical—was floating among the debris, just as shocked to see Lynx.
One glance told Lynx all he needed to know.
Frieza hadn't died back then.
Now resurrected through alien technology, this was the infamous Mecha Frieza—though unlike the anime, he was currently in his third form, not the final one.
"Ohohoho…"
Frieza's signature snicker echoed through the thin gases still lingering in the ruined space.
There wasn't oxygen—but there was enough to carry sound.
"Well well, what have we here? Isn't this the little monkey who nearly killed me last time?"
Frieza's smile twisted into a snarl.
"You damned ape! You've got some nerve showing your face again! Die!!"
Without warning, Frieza extended his finger—firing a razor-sharp purple Death Beam straight at Lynx.
It was an attack that had killed countless before.It exploded on impact—blinding light swallowing Lynx whole.
Frieza sneered.
"Hmph! That's the end of you, monkey! And soon, Planet Vegeta will fall—every last Saiyan will die!"
"Die? No… the only one dying today is you, Frieza."
The voice wasn't imagined. It pierced straight into Frieza's brain.
Then—through the fading light—Lynx emerged.
Alive. Unscathed.
And—transformed.
Golden hair.Glowing aura.Eyes like molten lightning.
A Super Saiyan.
Frieza's face contorted with horror.
"You—You too?! Another Super Saiyan?! No! Impossible! There can't be so many of you! It's just a legend! IT'S NOT REAL!! DEATH BEAM!!"
Frieza fired three more Death Beams in quick succession.
But this time—
Lynx didn't even flinch.
He merely narrowed his eyes, raised one palm, and swatted the beams away like flies.
BOOM!The attacks exploded against a drifting asteroid, lighting the void like fireworks.
"W-What?! My Death Beams were… deflected?!"
Frieza's voice trembled.
"Is this all you've got, Frieza?"
Lynx's voice rang out through the void, his aura vibrating the very particles around him.
"Show me your full power. I'm here to avenge Hanasia—and every Saiyan you murdered."
"F-Full power?! You damned monkey!"
Frieza growled and fired another barrage—three Death Beams in a row.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lynx casually batted them away again.
Far in the distance, three bright flashes lit up the dark.
Ding! Skill Acquired: Death Beam (via Martial Genius Talent)
A chime rang in Lynx's mind. He didn't react—just smirked coldly.
"I've let you attack long enough. Now it's my turn."
His smirk vanished.
He lunged.
BOOM!
Before Frieza could react, Lynx's fist smashed into his face.
ZWOOSH!
Frieza shot through space like a cannonball—slamming into a floating boulder, bursting through it, then slamming into another… and another…
Seven times.
Only after crashing through seven colossal rocks did he finally stop.
"W-What's happening?! WHY is he this strong?! HOW can a Saiyan be this powerful?!"
Frieza howled in disbelief—shaken to his core.
