Chapter 101 Arrival at Namek
Molok's eyes widened in terror and despair. It frantically poured its remaining energy into the shield, trying to turn the tide. But all its efforts were in vain. With a crisp "crack," the once indestructible energy shield finally gave way, shattering into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.
Krillin and Gohan's attacks continued unabated, heading straight for Moloch's unprotected head. Moloch let out a deafening scream before plummeting from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
At this moment, seeing their leader defeated, the other monsters fell into chaos. They began to scatter and no longer obeyed Moloch's commands.
Krillin, Gohan, and Shoyun remained vigilant as they watched the monsters begin to flee. They knew these monsters might return to attack them again, so they had to leave the area as quickly as possible.
Klin looked at Morlock on the ground and said, "This guy has finally been defeated, but we can't let our guard down yet."
Shang Yun nodded and said, "That's right, we need to find the spaceship quickly and leave here as soon as possible."
They eventually found the spaceship in the monsters' encampment. Since they had defeated Morlock, the monsters kept their distance when they saw them arrive.
Back on the spaceship, Shang Yun, Krillin, and Gohan stood by the window watching the monsters to prevent a sudden attack. Bulma activated the spaceship using the Namekian translator, and the group once again flew into space.
……
Deep within Frieza's base lies a massive, transparent container, into which Vegeta is immersed in a nutrient solution. The container's walls are covered with a complex network of pipes resembling blood vessels, and various strangely shaped instruments flicker with a cold, eerie light, occasionally emitting a faint yet disturbing buzzing sound.
Vegeta's eyes were tightly closed, his face tense, his brows furrowed, and his chest heaved rapidly, causing bubbles to rise continuously from the nutrient solution. At first, only a few scattered bubbles occasionally emerged from beneath his body, slowly rising and bursting. But as the turmoil within him grew stronger, and his breathing became more rapid and heavy, the bubbles became more numerous and denser.
His mind was like a runaway storm, churning with images of his battles on Earth. Goku's resolute gaze seemed to pierce his soul; at crucial moments in the battle, the power he unleashed was like a surging tide, relentlessly crushing his attacks time and time again. Gohan, that seemingly green brat, displayed astonishing explosive power and tenacious fighting spirit in battle; each of his attacks was like a sharp steel needle, piercing Vegeta's pride. And then there were Krillin, Shangyun, and the other Earth warriors, tightly clustered together, their courage and power unleashed to protect their homeland filled Vegeta with both anger and astonishment.
Vegeta's lips twitched violently, his face a mask of pain, frustration, and resentment. His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white from the force, as if he wanted to crush the nutrient solution. "Damn it!" he roared inwardly, "How could I, the prince of the Saiyans, be defeated by these ant-like Earthlings! This is the shame of my life, and I cannot let it go!"
At this moment, Vegeta's breathing was extremely erratic, and a large number of bubbles in the nutrient solution were rising wildly, like a pot of water about to boil. The scenes of battle were flashing rapidly before his eyes like ghosts.
"Just you wait, Earthlings!" Vegeta vowed fiercely in his heart. "I will definitely come back stronger! When that happens, I will crush you all under my feet and let the whole universe know that the Saiyan Prince's majesty cannot be challenged!"
The surrounding instruments seemed to be affected by his violent emotions, their lights flickering and their beeps becoming increasingly rapid and chaotic.
……
Bulma stared excitedly at the control panel in her hands, her slender fingers dancing lightly across the keys. Her eyes gleamed with delight as she shouted, "Great! In just 10 more days we'll reach Namek!"
Shang Yun frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say it would take more than a month? How could it be so fast?"
Bulma crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps this space travel has brought us closer to Namek."
Shang Yun nodded, stopped asking questions, and went to rest with Krillin and Gohan. The battle had exhausted all three of them.
During the ten days of waiting, everyone had their own thoughts, yet a unique tranquility prevailed. Shang Yun would sit quietly in a corner of the spaceship each day, meditating. He would cross his legs, straighten his back, clasp his hands together, close his eyes slightly, and enter a state of ethereal peace. In this serene atmosphere, his breathing was even and long, as if merging with the surrounding cosmic energy, constantly sensing the flow and changes of his own power.
Son Gohan often stood by the ship's porthole, his eyes revealing a mixture of anticipation and unease. Sometimes he would clench his fists, as if encouraging himself, and other times he would gaze at the distant starry sky, lost in memories of past battles and dreams of the future.
Sometimes, Gohan and Krillin would exchange fighting tips, practicing their moves and discussing how to better utilize their strength.
Bulma wasn't idle either. She busied herself operating various instruments at the spaceship's control panel, collecting and analyzing all the information about Namek. Her eyes gleamed with intelligence, and she frequently muttered data and possibilities, trying to find more clues about the Dragon Balls and the mysteries of Namek from the limited information available.
As time passed, the spaceship finally approached Namek. As it neared landing, the magnificent scenery of Namek could be seen through the portholes. The vast land displayed a vibrant tapestry of colors, with strange rocks and vegetation intertwined to create unique landscapes. In the distance, towering mountain ranges reached into the clouds, their peaks capped with snow, shimmering with golden light under the sun.
The spaceship kicked up a cloud of dust the moment it landed. The hatch slowly opened, and Shang Yun and the others cautiously stepped out, warily observing their surroundings. At that moment, a group of Namekians had already gathered around, their expressions varying—some filled with curiosity, others with obvious vigilance.
These Namekians were tall and elegant, with green skin that seemed to radiate a soft glow. They had pointed ears, and bright, deep eyes that shone like stars in the night sky, revealing curiosity and wariness.
