People in Dragon Ball! Start With Selecting Super Saiyan 4

Chapter 22: CHAPTER 22



The golden-yellow energy threads that had formed at Quincy's fingertips vanished instantly without a trace.

His finely honed battle instincts screamed at him, if he made even the slightest move, he'd be completely obliterated, not even ashes would remain!

Caselar, meanwhile, had gone ghostly pale in terror.

As the fourth-ranking officer of Universe 11's Pride Troopers, he had faced many strong opponents but never had he encountered such overwhelming force. He was utterly helpless.

Besides Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo, no one had ever suppressed him like this.

Who was this guy?

Where did he come from? How could he be this powerful?

"Scram!"

The energy spheres in Linze's hands faded away, but with a sudden backhand motion, he slapped both Caselar and Quincy hard right across the face.

Shoom…

The two Pride Troopers shot backwards like missiles, smashing into the ground moments later with a violent crash that shook the surrounding area.

Two deep craters, each several meters wide, formed where they landed.

"Urgh!"

Blood spurted from both men's mouths. Their faces were swollen grotesquely, resembling bloated pig heads.

"Unbelievable… Caselar got slapped out of the sky?"

"Weren't those two stronger than the woman?"

Boone stood frozen in place, staring wide-eyed. He glanced at 18, then turned to Linze, pure dread in his expression.

To defeat General Caselar in an instant this man had to be the stronger of the two without question!

"Tch. You sure get distracted easily in battle."

A cold, sarcastic voice rang out beside him, it was Android 18.

Boone whirled around, but what greeted him was a basketball-sized energy blast hurtling toward his face.

Boom!

The blast exploded on contact, slamming Boone backward like a ragdoll.

Crash!

He landed violently beside the craters that held Caselar and Quincy.

"These enemies are way too strong. We can't match them at all."

"General, please we have to request backup from Captain Toppo!"

Quincy's voice shook as he pleaded with Caselar, fear plainly visible on his battered face.

As elite members of Universe 11's Pride Troopers renowned across the multiverse they had never been humiliated like this.

Three against two, and yet they were completely overwhelmed in mere moments.

"It's disgraceful, but we have no choice."

Caselar nodded grimly.

It was the only logical move left.

As long as Captain Toppo a God of Destruction candidate or Dyspo, the light-speed warrior, arrived, these two Earthlings would be handled swiftly.

Without delay, Caselar initiated contact with Pride Trooper HQ.

"This is General Caselar reporting."

"Yes, the situation is critical…"

"We urgently request immediate support from Captain Toppo and Deputy Captain Dyspo."

"Yes, it's urgent please notify them right away."

Caselar's voice trembled slightly as he called for reinforcements.

"Linze, shouldn't we knock these guys unconscious just in case?"

18 glanced over at the three collapsed Pride Troopers Caselar, Quincy, and Boone who had clearly lost all combat effectiveness, then turned to Linze.

"Dealing with those guys must've been annoying."

"No need. They've already sent for backup. I'm guessing the real ones I'm waiting for will show up soon…"

Linze shook his head as he spoke calmly.

Caselar and the others were small fry not worth wasting energy on. Linze had no intention of lecturing them or drawing it out.

What he really wanted was a high-stakes fight—preferably against Toppo… or even Jiren.

Toppo's strength, after all, wasn't ordinary.

In Dragon Ball Super, Toppo was able to fight evenly with Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, and after unleashing his God of Destruction mode, he even forced Vegeta to go beyond Blue and use Final Explosion to win.

That form tapping into Hakai energy made him a genuine God-tier opponent.

But there was still a question that lingered in Linze's mind: Which was stronger Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan 4?

That comparison, especially when applied to Son Goku, remained unclear.

"You came to Universe 11 just to find someone?"

"You've been to Universe 11 before?"

18 asked in surprise, tilting her head with genuine curiosity.

She had thought Linze was just another Saiyan with absurd strength.

Now it turned out he not only knew about the Eleventh Universe, but possibly had connections or prior knowledge, which deepened her interest in him significantly.

"No, not exactly. I just heard Universe 11 has some powerful warriors, so I came to test myself against them."

Linze responded, intentionally vague.

"I see!"

"But you… you're definitely hiding a lot of things from me!"

18 narrowed her eyes and locked onto Linze with suspicion, as if trying to dissect him with her gaze.

"How am I hiding anything? You've just never asked about any of this stuff before, right?"

Linze grinned innocently.

The truth was, there were things he couldn't tell her like the fact he was a transmigrator, someone who didn't belong to this world.

Or that he possessed a system integrated into his body, feeding him information and granting him unique powers.

These secrets weren't just sensitive they were completely untellable. Not even 18 could know.

"Hmph…"

18 pouted, then turned away with a soft "tsk."

Roughly four to five minutes passed before Linze suddenly sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching from above and a third, much weaker one trailing behind.

"Are they from Toppo's team?"

"That ki... it's incredibly strong. This could be the real fight I've been waiting for!"

Feeling the pressure of those enormous power levels, Linze clenched his fists, a spark of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Excitement bubbled up inside him.

This was his first time sensing such overwhelming energy in person, it stirred something primal in him.

The Saiyan blood in his veins the same bloodline that once produced warriors like Goku, Vegeta, and Broly was reacting on instinct.

That pressure. That heat.

His cells were igniting with battle lust.
