Chapter 177: Slug
It wasn’t until Madix and Duke, the new Armored Squadron members, left Cooler’s palace and stepped outside to the fresh breeze, that the extreme pressure and suffocating feeling in their hearts disappeared.
Among the new Armored Squadron, only Captain Aiolos was able to maintain a calm demeanour around King Cooler.
“Captain Aiolos, how are we gonna select people who would go and scout out those four planets?” Madix asked Aiolos.
The four planets suspected of having Tree of Might were located in a special place. Two of the four planets were located within the sphere of influence of His Highness Frieza and King Cold. Presently, the Forces of several parties were in turmoil, and it was very likely that they would cause a misunderstanding if they recklessly rush over there.
This was the same way how no one dares to stroll around in front of a tiger’s cave, let alone thinking of pulling a tooth from the tiger’s mouth!
Madix and Duke weren’t willing to go.
Aiolos glanced at his two companions, pondered for a while and said: “Although the two planets in the Eastern and Southern regions are within the range of the North Area, it was unlikely that Tree of Might was there, so sending warriors from the Corp to have a look should be fine. However, we should personally go to the two places in the East Area.”
After that, Aiolos paused for a bit and continued: “But, the East Area isn’t a starfield we are familiar with, and we also don’t know the situation there. Therefore, just to be safe, it’s better we move together. So, I will go to Planet Dongke, and you two will go to Planet Bahert.”
“Remember, Planet Bahert is the top priority. This time, you both have been given an opportunity, and you must grasp it!” Aiolos warned.
“Ok!”
“Understood!”
Both Madix and Duke nodded, understanding.
They are more willing to go to the unfamiliar East Area than the southern and eastern region where the situation is unknown. At the same time, their eyes held a fiery look, because they could make a great contribution if they found the Tree of Might which was most likely located on Planet Bahert.
The thought of secretly hiding the Tree of Might’s fruit, if they found it, never crossed their minds. After all, the horror of King Cooler was still deeply engraved in their heart. They didn’t dare to have even a slightest bit of such a thought.
Captain Aiolos had given them the opportunity to scout Planet Behert—the planet most likely having the Tree of Might. This was a chance for them to render a meritorious service! So, both Madix and Duke nursed hearts full of gratitude.
Afterwards, the new Armored Squadron discussed and planned for a while, and transferred some experts from the Cooler Corps as the two targets in the North Area were also important. Moreover, that place was too much sensitive, so the aliens designated to execute the mission were all experts.
Soon, multiple beautiful rays of light rose from Cooler’s planet and streaked off, deep into the universe.
……
Several days later, King Cold’s palace.
In the middle of a magnificent hall, the tall and sturdy King Cold, was leisurely leaning on the throne, drinking from a wine glass in his hand with a satisfied expression.
“Fine wine is a true luxury, but it tastes best only when one drinks it while in a good mood. Right, what are the most recent movements at Cooler’s place?”
King Cold asked without any warning.
The alien at his side froze for a moment and hurriedly replied: “Since Cooler’s Corps clashed with Your Majesty’s strongest battle squad at Planet Vedoya in the eastern region, Sir Cooler’s Forces were laying low, and nothing has changed for the time being.”
“That’s good!”
King Cold took a sip of the red wine, straightened up the glass and stood up. “Hehe, Tree of Might’s fruit—that thing from legend. How can it be found so easily?”
“Cooler boy, how hasn’t he learned to be good like his younger brother Frieza yet? Now, he even wants to rebel against this king! Hehehe!” King Cold laughed as a frigid light flashed in his scarlet eyes.
“Since Cooler has pinned his hopes on that so-called Tree of Might’s fruit, obviously, he has nursed the aim to surpass this king for a long time!”
Although he was cautious of Cooler, he definitely wasn’t afraid at all!
He was furious when he first got the information that Cooler was looking for Tree of Might’s fruit, from one of his spies at Cooler’s place. But, after that, he sneered.
He considered Cooler’s attempts to find the fruit and rebel against him, King Cold, futile and naive.
Although he doesn’t believe in the Tree of Might’s existence, however just to be safe, he still had people closely monitor every movement from Cooler’s side.
Cooler’s actions, the past few years, had gotten more and more unbridled. He didn’t put his father in his eyes, at all. As the head of the Frost Demon race, King Cold felt very dissatisfied.
As he had suffered injuries in his fight against King Davidow, he had no choice but to hide behind the scenes, and divide his territory and leave the management to his two sons. Who would have thought that after many years, with the rise in his strength, Cooler’s ambitions would begin to grow. Now, he even dared to rebel against his father openly.
These thoughts caused King Cold to radiate a cold and murderous aura, which made the surrounding temperature to fall below freezing point.
“Pay attention to Cooler’s every movement, if there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately!” King Cold waved his hand and ordered in an indifferent voice.
“If the legendary Tree of Might does exist, I’ll let that Cooler boy continue to look for it, and when he finds it, it will eventually fall into this king’s hands!” King Cold sneered in his heart.
The Frost Demon race didn’t have the so-called family love. Instead, the members of the race made use of each other without reservations.
“Yes, King Cold!”
That alien acknowledged in a loud voice and bowed, before withdrawing from the palace.
At the same time, in a starfield far from the Cooler headquarters.
Slug’s Planet.
This was the headquarter of the Force of Slug, a generation’s overlord.
Slug was originally a Namekian. He had just been born when Planet Namek experienced a major climate change. As a heavenly-gifted Super Namekian, Slug was born a lot stronger than an adult warrior of Planet Namek, making him one of the rare genius warrior of Planet Namek.
In order to let him survive, his parents had sent him to the unfamiliar Planet Slug to live.
But Slug was a different kind of Namekian. As a heavenly-gifted Super Namekian, Slug possessed a frightening Battle Power, and at the same time, had an extremely evil heart.
Speaking of natural disposition, Slug was very ruthless, and this treatment was extended to his subordinates as well. If someone displeased him, even a little bit, they would end up being killed.
In his youth, Slug, born with immense Battle Power, battled all the experts on Planet Slug and proclaimed himself the king. Self-proclaiming himself to be of Demon Clan, he gradually gathered many subordinates under him.
For many years, he and his subordinates ran amok in the universe, committing all kinds of crime. The evil in his heart and his battle power both grew alongside his age.
Slug only had a few opponents in the North Area, and was self-proclaimed as Universe Emperor for a time.
However, ever since he encountered King Cold and his sons, a huge shadow had been cast over his path of the “Universe Emperor”.
The strength of the Frost Demon race was far beyond Slug’s imagination. Even, as a rare Super Namekian, Slug was far from their match.
Particularly remembering his fight with Cooler in the past, the always arrogant Lord Slug, suffered the biggest trauma of his life.
Faced with Cooler’s immense strength, Slug was easily defeated.
His territories, which were acquired from many years of campaigns, were completely divided up by the Frost Demon race. In order to survive, Slug could only hole up on this small Planet Slug.
This is the worst humiliation of Slug’s life.
Slug wanted to take revenge, but he was denied by time—a very difficult enemy to defeat. Several hundreds years had passed, and he had already turned old. Although his appearance was that of a middle-aged person, his eyes carried hints of age and decay.
The Frost Demon race was powerful, while his body gradually got older; this made it impossible for him to realize his dream.
