This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

In a luxurious bathroom, Princess Snake and her maids skillfully massaged Yuujin, Mai, and the other women, helping them relax their bodies and minds.

Yuujin, Mai, and Chi-Chi all looked content, even the perpetually icy Vegeta revealed a rare expression of enjoyment.

After a year of rigorous training, Vegeta had finally succeeded in transforming into a Super Saiyan. Yuujin was overjoyed.

Including himself, they now had three Super Saiyans plus Chi-Chi, a Super Earthling. Their top-level combat power had reached an incredible level. Only a handful of beings in the universe could rival them.

However, Yuujin knew that even more powerful enemies would appear in the future. Thus, he couldn't afford to slack off. If they aimed to become true rulers of the universe, they all needed to grow much stronger!

On a side note, the Earth Expeditionary Force, led by Launch, had been deployed for six months. Although not a long time, their progress had been remarkable.

Without Frieza's oppression, the universe had fallen into great chaos. The strong Earth Army seized the opportunity to conquer vast territories. By now, nearly half of the northern galaxy had become part of the Shenron Empire's domain.

At this rate, it wouldn't take many years for the entire galaxy to fall under Yuujin's control!

Though no significant enemies had appeared so far, Yuujin often used Instant Transmission to travel to the front lines. Partly to assess the situation personally, but mostly—

It was to spend some intimate time with Launch!

Among Yuujin's wives, Mai and Chi-Chi accompanied him in training, serving as the ultimate combat force of the empire. Bulma and Tights managed internal affairs, overseeing the shrine and Earth's various matters. Launch, however, was expanding their territory on the battlefield.

Mai, Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Tights all had their hardships, but at least they could see Yuujin daily. Launch, being the commander of the expeditionary force, was stationed at the front and couldn't just return at will.

Thus, Yuujin had to visit her. Each time, military inspections were brief, and the majority of their time was spent indulging aboard the battleship.

Well, perhaps "indulging" wasn't the best term. It was comforting. The same applied to Hasky, Violet, Mai, and his Red Silk Girls.

They were fighting tirelessly to expand his territory, so as their husband and leader, Yuujin naturally had to comfort and reward them frequently.

He thought these peaceful days would last, but then, while training at the shrine, Yuujin received urgent news from the front lines.

Launch's forces had encountered trouble!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Somewhere on the galactic front, two space fleets were fiercely battling. On one side was the Earth Expeditionary Force led by Launch; on the other was a powerful fleet that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

"Lady Launch, we've detected two exceptionally strong energy sources among the enemy fleet. Should we retreat temporarily? If those two attack, we won't have anyone to stop them."

Clad in a sharp military uniform, Mai addressed Launch, who was seated in the captain's chair.

"Retreat? What nonsense!"

"Our fleet does not retreat!"

"I've already contacted Earth. Yuujin and the others will be here shortly."

"Order the entire army to continue attacking. Blow them to bits!"

Her eyes glinting coldly, Launch's commanding tone carried an unyielding authority.

After six months of military life, Launch's demeanor had become increasingly domineering, resembling a queen whose will could not be defied. Even Mai, who often accompanied her, felt a shiver run down her spine.

Hearing that Yuujin would arrive soon, Mai felt reassured.

Though the enemy's two energy sources were indeed powerful, they couldn't possibly rival their master. As long as Yuujin arrived, everything would be fine.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Saluting Launch, Mai promptly went to execute the orders.

Meanwhile, aboard the enemy fleet—

"My child, Cooler, it's been a while."

"Father, for someone who prefers to manipulate events from the shadows, what brings you here?"

In the command room of the battleship, two alien beings conversed.

Their auras were immensely strong, and their appearances bore striking resemblance to Frieza.

This was no coincidence; one was Frieza's elder brother, Cooler, and the other was their father, King Cold.

"Cooler, I've recently learned some interesting news. Your brother Frieza may already be dead."

Seated in a high-backed chair, King Cold sipped crimson wine before continuing.

"W-What? Frieza is dead?"

"Who killed him?"

Though Cooler always looked down on his arrogant and overconfident younger brother, the news of Frieza's death shocked him.

Despite his flaws, Frieza's power was formidable, and very few beings in the universe could threaten him, let alone kill him.

"I'm still investigating, but based on the information I've gathered, Frieza's death is likely connected to Saiyans and Earthlings."

"Saiyans and Earthlings?"

"Frieza destroyed the Saiyan homeworld long ago, but a few Saiyans managed to escape."

"Earth was once a weak, insignificant planet. However, recent reports show that its power has surpassed many advanced civilizations. The fleet currently engaging your forces belongs to the Earthlings."

"Cooler, destroy those Earthlings, but keep their leader alive. I have questions for them."

"Understood, Father."

Although Frieza's death didn't personally affect Cooler, he decided to avenge him, if only for familial duty. A cold, cruel smile appeared on Cooler's face.

"Yuujin, you're here!"

"Launch, what's the situation?"

In the command room of the Frieza-class battleship, Yuujin, Mai, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta teleported in. Launch stood up to greet them.

Launch quickly explained the situation, and Yuujin understood why she had called them urgently.

The opposing fleet indeed housed two formidable auras. If they joined the battle, the Expeditionary Force would stand no chance.

What puzzled Yuujin, Mai, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta was how those auras felt oddly familiar—almost like Frieza.

A spark of realization crossed Yuujin's face. Could it be those two?

"You know who they are?"

Seeing Yuujin's expression, Vegeta frowned.

"I have a guess. We'll find out soon."

"Launch, cease the fleet's attack."

"Mai, Chi-Chi, Vegeta, you're coming with me to meet those two."

"Understood!"
