In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Page 237

"boom!"

The Final Flash slammed into the energy shield, unleashing a dazzling light, but the energy shield only rippled violently and did not shatter! Meanwhile, Death Shadow's other hand spread its five fingers, and countless purple death beams condensed at its fingertips, shooting towards Vegeta like a storm!

"Watch out!" Lin Ye, suppressing his weakness, thrust out with both hands, unleashing a powerful but concentrated energy wave that intercepted part of the death beams. Number 18 also fired simultaneously, his energy bullets precisely targeting and destroying the remaining portion.

Vegeta retreated, his face even more grim. His full-force attack had been easily blocked by his opponent!

“It’s useless.” Mirror Lin Ye watched with a calm expression. “The Death Shadows can not only use their moves from when they were alive, but they can also mobilize the void energy of the Ark for defense and attack. Here, it is almost invincible.”

The Shadow seemed enraged by Vegeta's attack. All four of its eyes locked onto Vegeta. It opened its mouth, and a ball of energy mixed with gold, pink, and dark blue began to gather deep in its throat. A terrifying suction force emanated from it, as if even light was about to be swallowed up!

"That's... a modified version of Cell's self-destruct technique?" Trunks exclaimed, sensing the destructive energy contained within the energy sphere.

"We can't let it launch!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth. He knew that in their current state, taking this attack head-on would be extremely dangerous. He tried again to connect with the Super Saiyan God power and the fragment of the Key of Creation within his body, but all he received in response was a series of deep-seated weakness and stinging pain.

Is this really where it all has to end?

At this moment of despair, Android 18 suddenly spoke, her electronic eyes fixed on the core formed by Frieza's head embedded in the chest of the Shadow: "Its energy transmission is unstable! Look there, the point where the blue and purple energies meet!"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw that at the junction of Frieza's head and Cell's chest, energies of different attributes were violently clashing, causing the space there to distort and occasionally spewing out unstable sparks.

"That's the energy node, and also its weakness!" Number 18 said confidently. "Attack there and disrupt its energy cycle!"

"Easy for you to say!" Vegeta roared. "That monster's defense is too strong!"

Mirror Lin Ye also heard what Number 18 said. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised: "Oh? You actually saw through me. But so what if you found out? In the face of absolute power, weaknesses are just decorations."

The energy sphere in the Shadow Throat had reached its limit and was about to burst forth!

A resolute glint flashed in Lin Ye's eyes as he looked at Vegeta and Trunks: "Cover me! Create an opportunity for me, even if it's just for a second!"

Vegeta instantly understood Lin Ye's meaning. He wanted to use that power of law again, but in his current state, he would probably need a period of charging up without any interference.

"Damn it! If you fail, I will never let you go!" Vegeta roared, unleashing his power once more as he charged towards the Shadow. This time, he wasn't aiming for a fatal blow, but instead circled the Shadow at high speed, unleashing countless energy blasts to distract it. "Come on! Monster! Look this way!"

Trunks didn't hesitate either, raising his aura to its limit and wielding his longsword, unleashing dozens of sharp sword energies that attacked the shadow's eyes and joints from another direction.

Number 18 stood calmly in place, her right arm's energy gun muzzle adjusted to maximum power, aiming at the energy node on Death Shadow's chest. She was waiting, waiting for the moment Lin Ye needed to deliver the fatal blow.

Night Owl leaned against the door, watching the people fighting desperately, and clenched his fists tightly.

Enraged by Vegeta and Trunks' harassment, Death Shadow temporarily halted the firing of the energy ball from its throat, swung its giant hand at Vegeta, and unleashed a dense death beam from its other hand to chase Trunks.

Inside the passage, the sounds of energy explosions, metal clashing, and roars filled the air once again.

Lin Ye closed his eyes, ignoring the noise outside, and focused all his thoughts into the depths of his body, struggling to communicate with the remaining divine power and the slightly warm fragment in his pocket.

faster! Faster!

He could feel a faint golden light beginning to re-condense at his fingertips.

Lin Ye noticed Lin Ye's movements and his expression changed slightly: "A dying struggle!" He twitched his finger, seemingly wanting to intervene personally.

at this time...

"Your opponent is me!" Number 18 shouted coldly, and his right arm, which had been poised to strike, suddenly fired! A condensed crimson energy ray was not aimed at the Shadow of Death, but directly at the Mirror Image Lin Ye standing by the energy pool!

Lin Ye, clearly not expecting No. 18 to suddenly attack him, hastily raised his hand to set up an energy barrier.

"boom!"

The crimson ray struck the barrier, and although it failed to break through, it successfully blocked the Mirror Lin Ye for a moment.

For Lin Ye, that moment was enough!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light flashed in his pupils. Although it was not as dazzling as before, it carried an unwavering determination! The tiny golden particles on his fingertips reappeared.

"Now!" Lin Ye used all his strength to shoot the golden light particle that contained his last hope toward the violently conflicting energy node in the chest of the Shadow!

At the same time, Vegeta and Trunks, despite the risk of injury, unleashed their full power, tightly binding the Shadow's arms and creating an excellent opportunity for Lin Ye's attack.

The golden particles of light, like the last fireflies in the darkness, silently disappeared into that area of ​​chaotic energy.

Chapter 505 Energy Overload

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The giant claw that the Shadow of Death was about to strike Vegeta froze in mid-air, and the death beam that had been chasing Trunks also suddenly dissipated. Its four chaotic eyes turned sharply to its own chest, where, surprisingly, a hint of astonishment appeared on Frieza's distorted face.

There was no deafening explosion, nor any blinding light.

That tiny golden particle of light was like a drop of water splashed into boiling oil, causing an instant uproar!

"Sizzle—crackling!"

The already unstable energy node on the chest of the Shadow of Death was like an arsenal that had been ignited! The azure void energy, Frieza's purple destructive energy, Cell's remaining golden aura, and that little golden light containing the power of law clashed, annihilated, and then surged out of control!

"No...this is impossible!" The composure on Mirror Lin Ye's face shattered for the first time, replaced by shock and anger. "It's disrupting the energy balance!"

"Roar...!!!"

The Shadow of Death let out a roar far more shrill and agonizing than before, filled with chaos and a desire for destruction. Its body swelled and contracted violently and uncontrollably, large sections of its metallic armor peeling away to reveal a frantically writhing pink substance and crackling energy pipes beneath. Azure, purple, and gold energies surged forth like uncontrolled venomous snakes, lashing indiscriminately at everything around them!

"Back off! It's going to explode!" Lin Ye shouted weakly, his body swaying as Trunks caught him in time.

Vegeta and Android 18, without him needing to say anything, had already retreated, avoiding the deadly energy turbulence.

At this moment, Death Shadow had become an extremely unstable super bomb, far more powerful than Machine Cell's self-destruction!

"Damn it! It's out of control!" Mirror Lin Ye cursed under his breath, ignoring Lin Ye and the others, his hands rapidly clicking in the void, trying to mobilize the Ark's energy to forcibly stabilize or strip the energy from the body of the Death Shadow.

But it was too late.

Lin Ye's attack, imbued with a trace of the power of law, became the final straw, completely shattering the fragile balance carefully maintained by the mirror image. The Ark's uncontrolled void energy exacerbated the rampage of the Death Shadow's energy.

"boom!!!"

The first violent explosion erupted from the shadow's right shoulder, shattering the entire arm and sending metal and pink flesh fragments flying everywhere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One explosion after another rang out throughout its body, and its form visibly collapsed and disintegrated.

"Now's the time! Take down the control panel or the core!" Lin Ye shouted to Vegeta and Android 18, barely managing to stay calm. The Shadow Demon was gone, but the Mirror Image and the Ark remained!

Vegeta reacted with lightning speed, his gaze locking onto the control platform on one side of the control room, where the energy connections were most concentrated. "Over there!" He transformed into a streak of blue light and rushed towards it.

Number 18 initiated a scan, locking onto the dome... A multifaceted crystal, pulsating and emitting a rich, eerie blue light, was suspended there, with countless energy beams converging towards it. "Energy center found!" She raised her right arm, and the energy gun began to charge.

Seeing Vegeta rushing towards the control panel, Mirror Lin Ye's face turned cold: "Don't even think about it!" He abandoned the attempt to stabilize the Shadow, and in a flash, he blocked the control panel, raising his hand to shoot a condensed, dark blue energy arrow towards Vegeta!

Vegeta was prepared and dodged to the side. The energy arrow grazed past him, melting a large hole in the wall behind him.

"Your opponent is me!" Vegeta roared, colliding violently with Mirror Image Lin Ye! The two figures flashed and collided rapidly in the control room, their energy radiating in all directions.

Just as the energy storage on the 18th was about to be completed, another unexpected event occurred!

The Shadow of Death, on the verge of complete collapse, made a final counterattack! The head of Frieza on its chest suddenly twisted, its four eyes locking onto Trunks, who was supporting Lin Ye, and the exhausted Night Owl!

"Let's... perish together!" The distorted electronic voice squeezed out of its throat.

Its remaining body lunged forward, not at anyone, but slamming violently into the control room floor! All the remaining violent energy within it was channeled into its feet without reservation!

"Oh no! It's about to self-destruct and destroy the Ark's structure!" Number 18 instantly realized its intention, his expression changing drastically. If the Ark's structure were destroyed, a chain reaction of explosions or a crash would occur, and no one would survive!

She immediately turned her gun around and aimed it at the back of the dead figure, trying to interrupt the self-destruction.

But it was too late.

"Boom! B ...

A terrifying roar, far exceeding the sum of all previous explosions, erupted from the point of impact! A devastating energy shockwave spread rapidly outward in a ring, tearing and melting the metal ground like pieces of paper!

Vegeta and Mirror Image Lin Ye, who were directly hit, were shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged, their movements faltered, and they were both thrown away by the shockwave.

Number 18 was also hit by the shockwave and slammed heavily against the wall behind him. His damaged left arm emitted a sickening metallic twisting sound.

Trunks immediately shielded Lin Ye and Night Owl behind him, raising a protective shield with all his might. The shield cracked instantly upon contact with the shockwave, and he groaned as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The entire control room shook violently, the top structure began to collapse on a large scale, the eerie blue light on the walls flickered erratically, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the space.

"The Ark... is doomed!" Night Owl murmured, looking at the surrounding landscape.

Amidst the smoke and dust, only a huge crater remained where the Shadow of Death had exploded. At the bottom of the crater, a more complex mechanical structure and flowing, eerie blue energy liquid could be seen—the Ark's "bones" had been severely damaged.

Lin Ye, his reflection gleaming, rose from the metal wreckage, his luxurious clothes torn, a trace of blue energy blood clinging to the corner of his mouth. He glanced at the deep crater and the crumbling control room, his eyes flashing with pain and rage.

"You...you damned insects! You destroyed my 'Death Shadow' and damaged the Ark Core!" His voice was no longer calm, but filled with killing intent.

Vegeta struggled to his feet, wiped the gray blood from his face, and grinned maliciously, "Hmph, looks like your turtle shell isn't all that great after all!"

"Sturdy?" Mirror Lin Ye sneered. "Even if the Ark is destroyed, it will be more than enough to deal with you before it completely collapses!"

A powerful aura surged around him, not qi, but a purer, colder azure energy, its intensity reaching the level of a Super Saiyan God, even surpassing the weakened Lin Ye at this moment!

"I originally wanted to play a little longer, but now... I've lost my patience." Mirror Lin Ye approached step by step, the energy pressure growing stronger with each step. "Let me show you the power of truly controlling void energy!"

He raised his hand, palm up, and a deep, dark sphere of energy, seemingly capable of swallowing light, began to condense. The shattered metal fragments in the control room were drawn by the invisible force field, floating and converging towards the energy sphere.

Lin Ye pushed Trunks away and struggled to stand up straight. The final battle had arrived. He had to defeat the Mirror Image before the Ark completely collapsed!

He took a deep breath and tried again to draw upon the depleted power within him. The fragment of the Key of Creation in his pocket was burning hot, responding to his will.

"Vegeta, Android 18, Trunks..." Lin Ye's voice was low but firm, "Buy me some time, just one last time!"

Vegeta spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Nonsense! If you want to fight, come at me all at once!"

Number 18 nodded silently, and the energy gun in his right arm lit up again. Though the light was dim, his will remained unwavering.

Trunks gripped his longsword and stood beside Lin Ye: "Mr. Lin Ye, we believe you!"

Night Owl also managed to gather a wisp of energy to show his attitude.

Faced with the ever-growing, increasingly powerful mirror image of Lin Ye, and the ark on the verge of complete disintegration, Lin Ye and his five companions adopted a final, defensive stance. Inside the shattered control room, the atmosphere froze; the final showdown was imminent.

Chapter 506 The Battle of Mirrors

Looking at the prepared crowd, Lin Ye's gaze finally settled on the weak but determined Lin Ye, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"They are still putting up a futile resistance."

The dark energy sphere in his palm suddenly expanded, transforming into countless twisted, tentacle-like shadows that, with a piercing shriek tearing through space, enveloped the five people!

"Scatter!" Vegeta roared, shifting to the side first and unleashing a barrage of punches, his energy blasts raining down on the tentacles. But the energy hitting the tentacles was like pebbles sinking into the ocean, only creating a few ripples, and the tentacles' speed remained undiminished!
