On the other side of the distant universe, Earth's expeditionary force was facing off against the pursuing Babidi Legion.
"Damn you, Launch! This time, you won't escape!"
"Hmph, that was just a strategic retreat before. But now~ there's no need for that anymore."
"Go ahead and wash your neck clean, you disgusting pest. We're about to wipe you out!"
"You… you dare call the great Archmage Babidi a pest?! Aaaah! You vile woman!"
"I will kill you! I swear I will kill you!"
Watching Babidi roar in rage, baring his fangs on the screen, Launch smirked coldly before cutting off communication.
"Vegea, it's your turn."
"Take care of those guys—no problem, right?"
Launch glanced at Vegea and her group.
"Let's get to work, Celipa, Sharuru."
Without wasting words, Vegea called for Celipa and Sharuru, and the three of them flew out of Frieza's ship.
"Aaah! I'm so furious! That damned woman!"
"Lord Babidi, please calm down. That woman named Launch is deliberately provoking you."
"Yes, Lord Babidi, there's no need to hold a grudge against such a lowly woman."
ALARM! ALARM! Three high-energy entities detected!
Inside Babidi's ship, his subordinates were still trying to soothe his anger when an emergency alarm suddenly blared.
The operator quickly pulled up the visuals, revealing three unfamiliar women flying out of the enemy warship. The energy scanners displayed terrifying power levels for all three of them.
"Interesting. So that Launch woman retreated earlier to find reinforcements. And those three… their energy is indeed formidable."
Dabura, the Demon King of the Demon Realm and Babidi's most powerful subordinate, analyzed the screen.
"Women… women… the thing I hate the most right now is women!"
"Dabura, Yego, Pui, you're all coming with me! I'm going to kill them in the most brutal way possible!"
Babidi clenched his teeth, his voice dripping with malice.
"Lord Babidi, there's no need for you to personally act against a few women. Lord Dabura and Yego can handle it."
"Yes, Lord Babidi! It's too risky for you to go out yourself!"
Two subordinates attempted to dissuade Babidi, but he only gave them a cold, merciless glare.
A sinister light flashed in Babidi's eyes, and suddenly, the bodies of those two subordinates began to swell uncontrollably. Their agonized screams echoed before they exploded into bloody fragments.
"Does anyone else have objections to my decision?"
Sweeping his gaze across the room, Babidi's tone was as frigid as death itself.
The remaining subordinates, terror-stricken, dared not utter a word. Satisfied, Babidi nodded.
"No objections? Good."
"Dabura, Yego, Pui, you're coming with me."
"As you command, Lord Babidi."
Dabura and the others knelt on one knee, pledging their obedience.
Babidi then assembled a squad of soldiers and led his forces out of the ship.
"So that's Babidi? He really is a tiny, ugly bastard."
"I've never seen magic before. Wonder if it's interesting?"
"Magic? Hah! It's just some cheap tricks—not worth mentioning!"
As Babidi and his troops emerged, Vegea and the others watched with mild amusement.
"You must be the reinforcements that Launch found?"
"State your names, women."
Babidi stopped before them and demanded.
"Saiyan, Vegea."
"Saiyan, Celipa."
"Android, Sharuru."
Though they didn't consider their opponents a threat, the three still introduced themselves.
"Saiyans? Androids?"
Babidi frowned.
He had heard of Saiyans before—the so-called "strongest warrior race in the universe" was nothing more than a bunch of arrogant fools. Word was that they had already been wiped out. Yet, here were some survivors.
As for "Androids," he had never even heard of them.
But none of that mattered. Babidi had no interest in their background—he only wanted to vent his rage on these fools who dared oppose him.
"You foolish women actually dare to stand against the great Archmage Babidi?"
"Prepare yourselves! Even if you beg for mercy now, it won't save you. I'll kill you in the cruelest way imaginable!"
Babidi sneered, his face twisted with sadistic delight.
Vegea, Celipa, and Sharuru exchanged looks, their expressions growing strange.
This guy's power was pitifully weak, yet he had the audacity to act so arrogant in front of them. Where did he get this ridiculous confidence?!
"Lord Babidi, please don't underestimate them. These women are not ordinary."
Sensing that his master was getting too cocky, Dabura gave a warning.
"Hmph, they're just women."
"Yego, Pui, go kill them for me!"
"Yes, Lord Babidi."
With a cold snort, Babidi gave the order. Two figures stepped forward from behind him.
One of them, Yego, was a vicious beast from the Dark Star. The other, Pui, was a notorious galactic thug.
Babidi himself was weak in combat. Many of his subordinates surpassed him in strength—but that didn't matter. With his magical abilities, he had complete control over them. Yego, Pui, and even Dabura, the ruler of the Demon Realm, were all bound to his will like obedient dogs.
Dabura was Babidi's trump card—one he wouldn't use unless necessary. But Yego and Pui were also top generals. In Babidi's mind, they were more than enough to deal with a few women.
"Celipa, Sharuru, you two take care of them."
Vegea crossed her arms, clearly uninterested in fighting such weaklings herself.
Yego and Pui? They were nothing but small fry in her eyes.
"As you command, Princess."
Celipa acknowledged the order without hesitation, while Sharuru shrugged indifferently before stepping forward.
"Kekeke… what bad luck for you two! We're your opponents!"
"I want to eat them! Eat them!"
Pui sneered, while Yego licked his lips, drooling uncontrollably.
"That frog-like guy looks a little tougher. I'll take him."
"Suit yourself."
Sharuru grinned, while Celipa remained indifferent.
Strong or weak, it didn't matter—neither of these two would stand a chance against them!
"Yego, Pui! Kill them now!"
"Yes, Lord Babidi!"
"Eat!!!"
Following Babidi's command, Yego and Pui charged at Celipa and Sharuru with ferocious bloodlust…
