Countless aliens in battle armor poured out of the spaceship.
They were all warriors under the command of the pirate lord Pagan, notorious for pillaging over a hundred planets.
Each one was a ruthless killer.
Nearly a hundred of them now floated in formation in front of the spaceship, waiting for Lynx to approach.
Moments later, Lynx flew into position, hovering before them.
"He really dared to come at us?"
"Hahaha! They say Saiyans are like rabid dogs—bite first, ask questions later. Is he seriously trying to challenge us?"
The group burst into mocking laughter.
One of the aliens activated his scouter.
"Let's see what this guy's power level is… 15,000?"
"15,000? Hahahaha!"
The others roared with laughter.
A battle power of 15,000 was decent for a Saiyan—but nowhere near enough against their numbers.
"Stop wasting time! Just grab him—we still need to find the Namekians!"
At that moment, their comms buzzed—Pagan's voice thundered through.
"What are you losers waiting for?! Capture him!"
An alien flew out toward Lynx, shouting,
"Hey, Saiyan! Cooperate and we won't rough you up too badly!"
Lynx stood still, eyes scanning the scouters on their faces.
He didn't act immediately.
He knew these scouters also functioned as communicators, transmitting everything back to their base.
He wasn't afraid of these goons—but he didn't want to risk attracting even stronger enemies by finishing them off too quickly.
"Who are you people? Are you with Frieza?" Lynx asked.
"Heh, you deaf? Didn't you hear earlier? We're the Pagan Pirates.But soon, we'll be under King Cold's command!" one alien sneered.
King Cold?Lynx recalled the name.
King Cold—Frieza's father—a feared force in the universe long before Frieza rose to power.
But the more important takeaway: these guys were just scattered pirates, not affiliated with Frieza or any real empire.
Good,Lynx thought.Then I don't need to hold back.
"In that case… you can all die here."
A sharp glint flashed in Lynx's eyes—he raised a hand, and a blazing ki blast ripped through the air.
It instantly vaporized one alien.
The blast didn't stop—it slammed into their spaceship, shaking it violently.
"Damn it! My ship!"Pagan roared from aboard, flying out in a rage.
"What are you morons doing?! Get him!!"
The rest of the alien warriors recovered from their shock and charged at Lynx in fury.
A barrage of ki blasts, energy bombs, and ship-mounted lasers all rained down on him.
In an instant, Lynx was engulfed in the storm of energy—his form disappearing in the blinding chaos.
"Brother Lynx!"
From afar, Broly sensed the eruption and panicked—his hair began to rise, his energy wildly surging.
But a hand rested calmly on his shoulder.
"Wait, Broly. Don't panic—can't you feel it? Lynx's energy is completely stable.He's probably just testing his strength."
"R-Really…?"
As Broly listened, his surging energy slowly calmed.
Meanwhile, above the ocean.
The aliens stopped firing, the air thick with acrid smoke.
Their faces twisted into smug grins.
"Oops… maybe we overdid it?"
"Yeah, that Saiyan's probably dust now."
"Stupid fool—should've just surrendered to the mighty Pagan Pirates!"
But then…
A few aliens noticed a figure in the smoke.
"W-What?!"
"No way… is he still alive?!"
As the smoke cleared, Lynx hovered there, completely unharmed.
Not even a scratch on him.
"I-It can't be…"
"He's totally fine?!"
They stared wide-eyed, as if seeing a monster.
Even their boss Pagan wouldn't have survived that barrage without injury.
But this Saiyan hadn't even flinched.
What's going on? Wasn't his battle power only 15,000?!
Lynx looked down at his body, flexing a fist with satisfaction.
This is the power of a Legendary Saiyan body… Truly indestructible!
"Done already?If so—It's my turn."
Lynx sneered, and began to unleash his full power.
A furious wind howled around him.Towering ocean waves rose like walls, slamming toward the shores.
Across Namek, the inhabitants felt the pressure of a titanic force.
Not far away, Nail stood frozen, sweat dripping from his brow.
"This Lynx… is an absolute monster."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As Lynx powered up, the aliens' scouters exploded one after another.
Panic set in.
Before their scouters broke, many of them saw the number flash: Over 25,000!
Inside the spaceship, a few technicians using the high-precision ship sensors got a clearer number:
"550,000!!"
"Lord Pagan! That guy's power level is 550,000!!"
"What?!"
Pagan's jaw dropped.
"Are you sure you read that right?!"
"There's no mistake, sir! This ship's sensors are the most accurate in the universe!"
Indeed—this ship had been purchased from the Frieza Force at a high price, same model as Frieza's own.
Even Pagan knew—these readings were real.
And just as terror took hold, Lynx's voice echoed across the sky:
"Don't be so shocked.The real show… is just beginning."
He laughed, and continued to slowly increase his energy.
His aura began to shift—glowing with a golden hue.
With such perfect test subjects handed to him, Lynx naturally wanted to push his power to the limit.
"W-What…?"
Even those who couldn't sense ki could now feel the oppressive dread building in the air.
