"Excuse me... may I ask where the Enforcers came from?" The voice behind him, which seemed to have appeared from nowhere, sent a chill down the Yellow Toad's spine. It was like the presence of a ghost. As the voice spoke, it drew closer until it was right behind him, and a hand rested on his shoulder, freezing him in place. He couldn't move an inch. Then the voice continued, "And where exactly is this so-called 'Planet One'?"
"Who is this person?! What does he mean?! How does he know that the Enforcers are connected to Planet One?! Could there be a traitor?!" The Yellow Toad roared internally, but he dared not make a move. Having traveled the universe for so long with his master, he knew full well that there were indeed individuals whose personal power was enough to make others seem like ants.
At this very moment, he felt an overwhelming pressure coming from the person behind him, one that made it hard for him to breathe.
The person didn't say a word, but it felt as though a massive hammer was being slammed into the Yellow Toad's heart, pounding relentlessly against his mind, drilling into his consciousness… as if trying to carve a fissure into his very spirit. As the voice continued speaking, the Yellow Toad was terrified to find that he couldn't help but "remember" the details he knew about the "Enforcers" and "Planet One!"
What kind of magic is this?!!
The Yellow Toad shuddered, his bloated body trembling violently despite the small movements. He desperately tried to stop the memories from playing out, but it was as if his mind no longer belonged to him. He couldn't control the urge to recall every detail about the Enforcers and Planet One!
Taro stood behind the Yellow Toad, his eyes closed in thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the back of the chair.
The Yellow Toad's memories passed before Taro's closed eyes, one after another. But perhaps because the research on the Enforcers was top secret, even though the Yellow Toad was one of his master's most trusted subordinates, he still didn't know all the details.
After a brief moment of reflection, Taro summarized what he had gathered:
The Enforcers were modified beings, seemingly created from some special sample.The Enforcer research and its main base wasn't located here, but on another planet, the home planet of the Yellow Toad's master, the cosmic merchant.The so-called Enforcers on this planet were merely inferior products of the research on Planet One. Even the Enforcer Taro had eliminated last night, compared to the more powerful Enforcers the Yellow Toad possessed, was far weaker—though it was also a discarded product.Originally, the boss monitoring the research on Planet One would regularly communicate with the subordinates on Star Two and other planets. However, for some unknown reason, such communications ceased several months ago, and no direct transmission signals have come from Planet One since. Many of the subordinates on these planets, including those on Planet Two, have begun to grow restless, speculating that something went wrong with the research on Planet One and that the boss might have met with some misfortune.
"That 'special sample'... looks like it's Frieza. Is it blood? Or some kind of cell tissue? Ha, someone like Frieza wouldn't trust such an important matter to some loyalty-less cosmic merchant, would he?" Taro thought, his mind racing. When he focused, the speed of his thought processes detached from the flow of the outside world. In his mental realm, he paced back and forth, contemplating, "Secretly researching Frieza's cells and creating these modified beings... Was he trying to overthrow Frieza's tyranny? Or was he simply seeking a way to protect himself in the face of Frieza's power?"
The figure of Taro in his mental realm looked at his hands, a knowing smile crossing his face. "Frieza's cells must be hard to obtain... if you don't mind, perhaps I can study what I have on me..." he muttered, turning and continuing to pace. "Frieza, such a person, allowing his cells to fall into the wrong hands..."
In an instant, Taro had swept through the Yellow Toad's mental world, taking what he needed. As for the aftermath, any potential damage to the Yellow Toad's mind, any consequences—Taro didn't care. These kinds of cosmic administrators, whose hands were stained with filth and blood, didn't deserve any consideration. Regardless of Taro's views on extraterrestrial life, when it came to eliminating such people, he held nothing back.
Bang! The Yellow Toad slumped, his body soft as he collapsed from his seat to the floor. His ugly face had drained of color, his bulging eyes rolling back in his head as if he had been struck with tremendous force. But the involuntary press of a button, caused by his own actions, did not escape Taro's notice.
Taro saw it but didn't bother to stop him.
"Tell me the exact location of Planet One," Taro said coldly, looking down at the twitching Yellow Toad, who had fallen unconscious. There was no doubt that this display was partly for show. Although Taro's approach was somewhat brutal, he hadn't intentionally used overwhelming mental power to crush him into a fool. After all, there was no need for the Yellow Toad to be lying on the ground in such a state.
The Yellow Toad simply twitched, foam forming at the corners of his mouth, but he remained silent.
He remembered now. There had indeed been an alarm earlier, but he hadn't thought much of it. In fact, whether there was an alarm or not no longer mattered. Seeing Taro casually enter this heavily protected building, the Yellow Toad knew that Taro was now the ultimate enemy, an invader.
But, he had already secretly deployed the law enforcers he had secretly controlled!
Yellow Toad didn't yet know that the law enforcer who disappeared yesterday was the one casually eliminated by the invader in front of him. However, even if he did know, he probably wouldn't think much of it. This was because the law enforcers under his command were different from those weak ones in other people's hands. The ones he had were much stronger!
Taro shook his head. He had already sensed it: three powerful presences were rapidly approaching the room!
Outside, three tall and fierce figures were charging through the corridor! Their faces were twisted, and their bodies seemed pieced together, a fusion of flesh and machine! Their imposing and powerful aura filled the corridor like three huge furnaces! It was as if three blazing meteors were racing down the path!
"That fat guy really has a hidden trump card!!" A humanoid alien in a white lab coat fell aside, spitting on the floor, cursing in a low voice.
The alarm sounded through the corridor, a continuous wailing of urgency.
"What's Quiloza trying to do?" Someone peered out, looking at the corridor, which now resembled the aftermath of a fire. "Could it be... the invader ran into him?"
Boom!
A tremendous explosion erupted deep within the corridor! The entire building shook violently! All the researchers and staff in the building, who were mostly non-combatants, fell to the ground in confusion. They were just regular people with sharp minds but no fighting abilities.
"It's... Quiloza's room!" Someone noticed.
As the crowd grew suspicious, they began heading toward Yellow Toad's office. Along the way, they saw the destruction caused by the three enhanced law enforcers—scorched marks that resembled fire damage—sending chills down their spines. When they reached the office, they found... Yellow Toad's office was gone!
The walls had been obliterated!
The ceiling was also completely gone, with countless layers above smashed through! Even the floor was riddled with holes!
And Yellow Toad... was now dangling by his neck, held up by an old-looking alien! The three enhanced law enforcers who had barged through the corridor were now facing them!
"You monster... who the hell are you?!" Yellow Toad was both terrified and furious. The three damn creatures had directly destroyed his office, scaring him half to death. But what terrified him even more was that this invader had come through the destruction unscathed and even "kindly" "protected" him!
"Is this what you call stronger law enforcers?" Taro glanced at the three monstrous beings, whose presence had a stronger "Frieza" scent. He nodded inwardly, realizing that the research on Frieza's genes here had indeed yielded some results. But looking at the three figures, neither human nor monster, he lost interest.
"Too weak!"
The law enforcer Taro killed yesterday had a combat power of just over 100,000.
As for these so-called enhanced versions, the ones that gave Yellow Toad so much confidence, they barely exceeded 200,000. As for the exact figure, Taro couldn't be bothered to calculate. After all, the difference between 200,000 and a little more didn't matter to him.
"Who are you?"
"Invader, Do you even know where you are?"
"You're really seeking death!"
The onlookers began murmuring, but there were also a few sharp-eyed individuals who realized something was wrong and quietly began to retreat. Taro paid them no attention. The three enhanced law enforcers, however, had already started moving! They had received Yellow Toad's orders, and their only goal now was to eliminate the invader!
How they went about it was up to them. And their choice... was instinct!
The three enhanced law enforcers charged like tigers descending a mountain! They were like three meteors falling from the sky, crashing toward Taro, who was now suspended above the destroyed floor! Their violent momentum created a massive whirlwind, sending the onlookers flying! Some of the weaker ones were slammed into the walls, splattering into a bloody mess!
After all, their combat power exceeded 200,000!
When Taro had fought against the North Kai, both with combat powers of about 10,000, their full-force battle had already created unbelievable disturbances—heat in the air, surging air currents, even instability in the electromagnetic field.
And now, these three beings, with over 200,000 combat power, unleashed their energy with reckless abandon, causing a terrifying scene!
Yellow Toad, still held in Taro's hand, screamed, "Are you planning to kill me too?!" before fainting from fear. Taro shook his head and glanced at the three approaching ants. Without haste, he gave his palm a slight tremor, and a fierce white light burst from his hand. The terrifyingly uncontrollable force obliterated the fat alien, turning him into nothing more than ash!
The white light consumed everything, including Taro himself, as the three enhanced law enforcers charged toward him, like moths drawn to a flame.
When the "flames" subsided, there were no traces left.
"Three chaotic minds..." Taro stepped out from the white light, shaking his head thoughtfully. A hint of curiosity crossed his face, "But, like the law enforcer yesterday, they also have an image of a 'small demon' in their minds. Who could it be?"
Looking around, the disheveled corridor was littered with grotesque, twisted alien bodies—some unconscious, others dead. With his keen spiritual senses, Taro easily located a few survivors. Using the most efficient method, he quickly scanned their minds, extracting the information he wanted.
In the end, Taro made his way toward a room, seemingly with familiarity.

After obtaining the coordinates for Planet One, Taro flew out of the central city of Planet Two, heading toward the sky above.
He looked down at the city, growing smaller with each passing moment, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. The portion of his energy that had been refined from the external "cosmic energy" surged within him, like a vast river, flowing endlessly day and night! Taro raised his palm, and these ocean-like energies surged toward it!
Though the Muken was no longer the ultimate path he sought, since it had yet to reach its end, and since he could still use it, he wouldn't hesitate to employ it.
As the energy surged from his palm, it had already been catalyzed fifty times by the Muken's, instantly expanding to an unimaginable size! Even more incredible was Taro himself. Controlling this energy was no simple feat.
At the very moment the energy multiplied, a droplet of water transformed into an entire lake, the vast ocean-like waters becoming endless lakes that merged into an even more boundless sea. At that same instant—
The energy took shape.
The next moment, the remaining people in the central city of Planet Two felt something casting a shadow over the sun. They looked up and saw a massive hand descending from the sky. If this were the hand of some divine being, they would certainly believe it was a punishment from the gods.
With one palm strike, the central city was obliterated.
Taro's figure disappeared into the clouds.
