The people in the entire main venue area were drawn by the earth-shattering explosion. Following the sound, they looked up and stared blankly at the Municipal Building, which had already turned into ruins.
Streaming media on the streets was still broadcasting news about the celebration banquet to be held at the Municipal Building. In the blink of an eye, the venue collapsed with a deafening explosion, without any warning.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
After a moment of dead silence, the entire planet erupted.
The discussions were all about the figure proudly floating in mid-air.
His short, dark hair was tinged with azure ice crystals in the frost storm, and his bright silver armor shimmered with intoxicating light under the sun.
With a defiant smile and a scarlet tail, Beckett stood with his arms crossed. His image was broadcast through U40 Planet's advanced media channels, clearly visible to everyone.
"Who is he?"
"Looking at his face... wait, isn't he that wanted criminal from the wanted list?!"
"He looks like it. Wait a minute, this wanted criminal blew up the Municipal Building???"
The obvious fact left everyone on U40 Planet dumbfounded. They had seen arrogant wanted criminals, but never one this arrogant.
Instead of hiding to evade capture, he was openly floating in the sky and blew up the political center of U40 Planet's main urban area!
He's going to heaven!
No, it seems he really is floating in the sky...
"Where's the Planetary Security Force?"
"And where are those soldiers?"
"Why hasn't the Planetary Defense System attacked him yet?"
The people's confusion grew stronger with time. Especially when they saw the ice sculptures standing tall amidst the ruins of the Municipal Building, their fear reached its peak!
Every single administrative commander on the entire U40 Planet system had been turned into lifelike ice sculptures!
"Everyone, this is CW, this is CW. Everything is as you see, our hig—"
Before the courageous freelance reporter, who risked his life to enter the icy ruins, could finish his trembling voice, an Azure Scepter pierced his chest!
Blinding blood covered the entire screen, and all media channels connected to the CW signal source were instantly dyed a sea of red!
"Everyone on U40 Planet, please do not panic excessively. His Highness Beckett has no intentions towards you. You just need to watch quietly, watch these people, that's enough."
The cruel and bloodthirsty voice, accompanied by The Other's ferocious face, entered thousands of households. The bloodstains on the screen that hadn't been wiped clean made The Other look exceptionally terrifying.
Especially after he smashed the body of a Skrull Officer with a single blow and grinned at the camera...
"No one who offends His Highness Beckett can remain unharmed. Everyone who offends His Highness Beckett will pay the price they deserve, the price of blood!"
The Other crushed another ice sculpture with his bare hand, and blood mixed with ice crystals danced in the sunlight.
"Where is the Planetary Security Force?!"
"And where are the soldiers? The warships?!"
"Where are the warships we docked at the port? That huge warship, why isn't it here yet?"
Panic spread throughout U40 Planet. With the planet sealed, they didn't even have a chance to escape...
What if this demon went on a killing spree...
Who the hell knows who His Highness Beckett is?!
They just wanted to know if they could go home to their wives and children. It wasn't easy for anyone out there. Some people hadn't been home for three years doing business, and their child was one year old, but they hadn't heard their child call them father face-to-face...
"Woz?"
Beckett, floating in mid-air, was also a bit confused. The dense red dots on his right eye's screen represented members of the U40 Planet Security Force and the army members who returned with Baltan and Gesra. However, at this moment, these red dots showed no reaction.
"I don't know, Your Highness Beckett. According to Woz's scan, they still have vital signs." After having his fake identity exposed, being restricted from entering U40 Planet's control system, and now even his scans seemed to be malfunctioning, Woz was showing signs of entering a state of depression.
It was created to assist Beckett, but in its view, it was precisely because of its assistance that Beckett had reached this point.
"Who the hell are you!!!"
As Beckett was wondering, a roar brought him back to his senses. Looking down, Baltan, who had escaped the fate of being an ice sculpture, was flexing his silver mechanical arms, staring at him with sinister eyes.
"Oh? Your speed is much slower than I imagined." Pushing aside the doubts in his mind for the moment, Beckett slowly descended in front of Baltan. The sarcasm on his lips was particularly jarring to Baltan.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The building was destroyed, and everyone was frozen. The bizarre and powerful methods made Baltan extremely cautious. Most importantly, he had no memory of Beckett in his mind.
"Me?"
"Just a Saiyan here to kill you." After tilting his head to the right to avoid an attack from behind, Beckett sneered and turned his head, looking at Gesra, who had also broken free from his restraints:
"Perfect, both of you are here."
"Gesra, where is Shafrin?!"
Baltan looked at Beckett, who was standing with his arms crossed, with a grave expression. He had only felt such pressure from this stranger when Shafrin first arrived on U40 Planet thirty years ago.
"He's still sealed, hasn't broken free yet."
"..."
Damn it, I'm still not free! Thirty years have passed, and my body has aged this much?!
Baltan's expression was grim. A pair of mechanical arms shifted at his mental command, transforming into a pair of mechanical pliers with immense crushing power.
"You will pay for this, Saiyan."
He roared in a low, furious voice, then his legs exerted force, and he charged directly at Beckett, who stood still with his arms crossed over his chest.
"ROAR!"
A roar that echoed through the sky followed closely. Years of practiced synergy allowed the burly and imposing Gesra to leap forward, attempting to cut off Beckett's escape route upwards.
The massive mechanical pliers gleamed with a menacing sharpness under the sun, vowing to grind Beckett's face, which he found so detestable, into dust. Gesra, looking down from above, spread his arms wide. Behind him, a colossal phantom fist formed from gathered energy shot straight towards the ground, roaring in coordination with Baltan to seal Beckett's escape route.
Snap!
The crisp sound stunned everyone watching the battle via streaming.
The silver figure standing on the ground remained rooted to the spot, unmoving, as he faced the pincer attack. His arms blocked Baltan's mechanical arms and Gesra's colossal fist respectively.
"What?!"
Baltan, his attack blocked, didn't have time to react before his chest was hit with a powerful blow!
His dignity, as Baltan perceived it, was trampled by a gleaming silver combat boot. The pain was unbearable.
"Inferior race."
Gesra, having lost his balance in mid-air, immediately lost his footing. Beckett grabbed him with his hand and violently slammed him onto the ground!
His head hit the ground, and his body slid along, shattering countless ice crystals!
Clapping his hands, Beckett strode before the two and stomped Baltan's shadowed face into the dirt. His condescending gaze was filled with arrogance and disdain.
"You are too weak."
