Chapter 139: I Was Bullied by Universe 12
"Are you even capable or not?" Lin Qi interrupted Cooler's recollection, frowning at the veins bulging on Cooler's forehead.
"Seriously though, your talent surpasses Frieza's. Can't you reach your Golden Form any sooner?"
"What Golden Form?" Cooler was completely baffled. His current form had already surpassed the legendary limits of the Frost Demon race!
Yet this guy just casually throws out a line implying there's still another transformation? Why don't you show me then, dammit...
"Hmph... I don't care if it's gold, you're going to die either way!" Cooler snapped, no longer willing to argue. He hovered high in the sky, extending his index finger again.
A massive energy sphere reformed above his head—this time even larger and more powerful than before.
"You killed my subordinates. No matter what, I'll make sure you die!" A ferocious grin twisted across Cooler's face.
"Only the mighty Frost Demon race deserves to exist in the universe. As for you Saiyans..."
"You can die along with this planet!! Hahaha..."
His maniacal laughter echoed across the heavens. Lin Qi raised an eyebrow in response—why did this scene feel so familiar?
Ah, wasn't this Frieza's classic move?
When losing... just blow up the planet.
Watching as Cooler drove the enormous energy ball downward toward the surface, Lin Qi scoffed, raising his brow, "I was debating whether or not to spare your pathetic life..."
"Guess it's better to just kill you after all!" Lin Qi's figure vanished from the mountain peak, appearing directly in front of the colossal energy sphere. With a light tap—
The gigantic orb instantly froze, its radiant glow extinguishing in an instant, fracturing into shimmering stardust and scattering into nothingness.
"No... That's impossible... That was all of my power..." Cooler's eyes bulged, veins popping as he refused to believe what he saw.
Standing within the glittering remnants, Lin Qi revealed a faint smile.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes. Staring coldly at the deranged Cooler, he said softly, "You people..."
"Really need to be taught a lesson... So, goodbye."
Raising his hand slightly, Lin Qi released another beam of soft purple light that struck Cooler.
Just like with the energy sphere, Cooler's body began dissolving—starting from his legs, then his torso... finally creeping up to his chest and arms.
"This... this... you... impossible... how can a Saiyan be stronger than Beerus..."
Before he could finish, even Cooler's head disintegrated into twinkling stardust.
Maybe he realized something at the very end—but who would care?
"L-Lord Cooler... is dead!!" From the spaceship just outside the atmosphere, Cooler's subordinates all stared wide-eyed,
Terror etched across every face.
"Run! Report this to King Cold!!"
Panic swept through the ship like wildfire.
"Heh... in that case, you all should stay and keep Cooler company in death..." In Lin Qi's hand, that same purple glow surged again.
"That's what you get for being his lackeys."
Thus, the once-dominant forces of the Frost Demon race quietly collapsed!
Lin Qi had already left the planet's atmosphere. Watching the massive spaceship attempt to flee, he sneered in contempt, "Bon voyage, you bastards."
BOOM!
A purple beam pierced through the ship. What followed were fragments, drifting down like violet snowflakes.
Sprinkling over the earth, alien villagers erupted into joyful cheers.
"We're saved..."
"Young man, you're our savior!!"
"Please, marry our tribe's saintess!!"
Lin Qi didn't hear a word of it. He hadn't planned on saying goodbye. While those light particles scattered, he had already used Instant Transmission to travel to Universe 6's God of Destruction Realm.
He intended to resume training under Vados—after all, sparring with Goku and the others had become meaningless with how far ahead he was.
Shua!
When Lin Qi appeared in Universe 6's God of Destruction Realm, he didn't expect to find Quitela and Cognac already there.
"Lin Qi... Lin Qi..." Quitela, who had been bickering with Champa, immediately burst into tears and ran over upon seeing him.
Lin Qi hadn't been in the best mood to begin with, and seeing Quitela sobbing made him even more irritated. "What happened now?"
"It's Jīn! That guy's been bored lately and came to my territory just to mock me!"
Quitela's tearful face twisted into anger. "It's too much! That damn sea monster dared to laugh at me—Lin Qi, beat him up for me!"
Lin Qi blinked, confused. He looked at Cognac and asked, "Jīn?"
"The God of Destruction from Universe 12. The one who looks like a fish-man," Cognac replied, conjuring Jīn's image in a magical sphere.
"Oh... so?" Lin Qi raised an eyebrow at Quitela, clenched his fist, and said, "Let's go. He laughed at you? Time to beat that smug face in."
Perfect timing—he wasn't in a good mood either. The Saiyan Kingdom of Universe 7 had barely gotten off the ground before Whis stomped it out.
What a buzzkill.
With Lin Qi's return, Quitela suddenly had no more back pain, his spine straightened, and he walked like a man with the wind at his back.
With Cognac and Lin Qi, Quitela stormed toward Universe 12's God of Destruction Realm.
Watching the trio leave, Champa turned to Vados, puzzled. "Isn't Lin Qi being a bit too flashy? Won't this catch the Grand Priest's attention?"
"If even someone as dense as you can sense it, do you think Quitela hasn't considered it?" Vados shot back with biting sarcasm.
Champa scratched his head in confusion. "I'm not dumb, I just don't get it—if Quitela knows the risk, why would he still do it?"
Vados didn't answer. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and gave Champa a frosty smile.
"Lord Champa, have you been sneaking off to that gourmet planet lately? You seem... fatter than before."
"W-What?! Of course not! I would never hog food for myself!"
"Oh really? Then what's that white powder around your mouth?!"
---
Universe 12, God of Destruction Realm.
As soon as they landed, Quitela marched toward the ocean, stood with hands on hips, and shouted at the waves, "Jīn! You dead fish, sea monster!"
"You bastard, get your ass out here! I've come to take back my pride!"
Cognac let out a helpless sigh, then turned toward the approaching large, flat-faced, rotund Angel of Universe 12—Martinu.
"Martinu, sorry to bother you like this. But congratulations in advance—I heard your Kai and your God of Destruction Jīn are both exceptional!"
"Any plans to promote them to a higher position? When the time comes, I'll be sure to offer my congratulations in person!" Cognac said politely with a warm smile.
