In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

"You scum from Universe 7, don't die before us!" Vegeta, with his purple hair, swung his tail, the tip crackling with lightning. "The elite team from Universe 16 has come to harvest Omega's core!"

In another rift, Gohan, his silver hair styled in dreadlocks, appeared carrying a plasma cannon, smoke still rising from its muzzle: the observation station of Universe 5 had been destroyed, and Omega was to blame! Piccolo, standing beside him, suddenly unfurled green energy wings, his knuckles cracking: their Shenron had also been mechanically modified, and now the Dragon Balls of the entire universe were powering Omega.

Lin Ye's rhomboid crystal suddenly flashed with intense light, and the image of Alice, composed of data streams, appeared on his shoulder: Seventeen energy signatures from parallel universes were detected! Among them, the warriors of the third universe were equipped with the anti-mechanical virus—her words were interrupted by the Omega alarm, and hundreds of cannon muzzles suddenly burst open on the surface of the core module.

"Foolish biological weapons." Omega's mechanical voice rang out simultaneously from all the cannons, and beams of purplish-black energy shot out like a storm. Did they think that gathering fleas could fight a lion? The nearest meteorite was reduced to dust in the energy beam, and the shockwave sent the warriors of Universe 7 flying.

Enough talk! Goku, wearing goggles, suddenly plunged his lightsaber into the void, tearing open an energy barrier. Universe 16, Formation α! Three Vegetas leaped up simultaneously, their purple flames intertwining to form a triangular matrix, deflecting the incoming energy beams back to the Omega Core.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Ye rushed towards the core module, his rock spear condensing into a spiral shape in his palm: All warriors, aim at the energy conduits! Alice, mark the joint gaps of the mechanical claws! Just as his rock spear pierced through a piece of armor plate, he was suddenly blasted away by a tremendous force—Omega's hydraulic arm attacked from the side, the serrated structure of its jaws nearly crushing his waist and abdomen.

"Lin Ye! Look to the left!" Gohan from Universe 5 suddenly threw the plasma cannon. The moment Lin Ye caught the cannon, the muzzle automatically locked onto the heat sink of the core module. But just as he pulled the trigger, Omega's armor suddenly transformed, and the heat sink turned into a ferocious mechanical mouth, biting down on the cannon barrel.

It's learning our tactics! Vegeta's Garic Cannon blasted at the mechanical mouth, but the recoil broke his arm. Kakarot, use the Spirit Bomb!

Wukong shook his head, the Spirit Bomb in his palm disintegrating into specks of light as soon as it condensed: not enough energy... Omega had absorbed the energy of stars within ten light-years. He looked at a yellow dwarf star in the distance that was dying, and for the first time, despair appeared in his eyes. If this continued, the entire universe would become a dead star.

Lin Ye suddenly raised the rhombus-shaped crystal, and the runes on its surface resonated with the energy of all the parallel universe warriors. He saw Goku's lightsaber in his black battle suit, Vegeta's lightning in purple, and Gohan's plasma cannon beam all merge into the crystal, forming a rotating energy nebula inside: Alice, calculate the critical point of energy fusion!

Calculating... Annihilation will be triggered when the fusion rate reaches 89%! Alice's image suddenly splits in two, but Omega's core is generating counter-code—it's replicating our energy patterns!

Omega's core module suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, all hydraulic arms simultaneously pointing at Lin Ye: "Truly a perfect energy container. Once I absorb your crystal, I'll be able to analyze the Omni-King's dimensional coordinates!" A purplish-black beam of light shot out from the core, instantly piercing Lin Ye's left shoulder, the rock element energy sizzling at the wound.

Don't touch him! Vegeta from Universe 16 suddenly exploded with power, his purple aura surging three times. He wrapped his tail around Lin Ye's waist and pulled back sharply, but was grazed on the arm by the beam of light—his entire forearm instantly digitized, turning into flowing binary code.

"Vegeta!" Goku, wearing goggles, roared as he slashed at the beam of light, but his lightsaber shattered into pieces the instant it touched the code. Lin Ye, watching Vegeta's disappearing arm, suddenly recalled the record he'd seen three years ago at the ruins of the Supreme Kai of Time: Wait! Omega's core uses the binding spell of Frieza's army! Only Namekian life energy can break it—

His words were interrupted by a spatial tearing sound. An elderly man in a white robe emerged from the rift, leaning on a staff. The crystal sphere at the top of the staff displayed star maps of seventeen universes: indeed, and it also incorporated Majin Buu's regeneration code and Hit's time-lock technology. The old man planted his staff in mid-air, and golden runes immediately appeared around him. "I am the guardian of the multiverse, and I have been observing the threat of Omega for ten thousand years."

Omega's core module suddenly vibrated violently, and all the hydraulic arms pointed at the old man: The Time-Space Imprisoner! How dare you interfere with the laws of the universe?

The old man smiled slightly, and the runes drawn by his staff formed a giant hourglass pattern, enveloping the Omega core: "When the dragon's pupils first oozed mechanical oil, I knew it was time to activate the contingency plan. The hourglass's flowing sand turned into purplish-black code, resonating with the Omega core. Lin Ye, do you see the red node on the back of the core module? That's the nerve center connecting to the origin of the universe."

Lin Ye then noticed that there was indeed a diamond-shaped interface flashing red light on the back of the core module, surrounded by hundreds of energy conduits; however, the interface was protected by an energy shield—

The shield's frequency matched the Namekian altar's protective shield. The old man waved his staff, and Lin Ye's rhombus-shaped crystal suddenly flew out, hovering above the interface. "Use your Geo elemental energy to simulate the Namekian elder's life fluctuations, and I will maintain the spacetime confinement."

Just then, Vegeta from Universe 16 suddenly pressed his remaining left arm onto the crystal: "The energy of Universe 16 is yours!" Goku, wearing goggles, and Gohan from Universe 5 simultaneously placed their hands on the crystal, and seven streams of energy of different colors flowed into it, turning it into a burning, seven-colored star.

"All warriors, firepower to the core's front!" Lin Ye roared, slamming the crystal towards the red node. Omega's hydraulic arms surged forward like a tidal wave, but were firmly blocked by the energy wall formed by the warriors of Universe Sixteen. Vegeta's tail wrapped around Goku's ankle, and the combined Kamehameha wave melted the hydraulic arms into molten iron.

The instant the crystallization contact node formed, the entire core module erupted with a piercing shriek. A torrent of purplish-black code surged forth, only to vanish into thin air upon contact with Namekian energy. Lin Ye saw the nerve center inside the interface shattering, each conduit spewing out golden energy—the cosmic essence plundered by Omega.

No! My primal connection! Omega's voice was filled with panic. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the core module. I absorbed the technology of seventeen universes... How could I lose?

The old man's staff suddenly emitted a bright light, and the hourglass pattern abruptly contracted, absorbing all the code into the staff: "Because you don't understand unity." He looked at Lin Ye, his eyes sparkling like stars. When the Saiyans of Universe 7 were willing to sacrifice themselves for the Namekians, when warriors from parallel universes crossed dimensions to arrive, Omega's defeat was already inevitable.

The core module exploded into fragments in the intense light, each fragment dissipating into the universe as a stream of light. Lin Ye caught the falling Vegeta and discovered that his digitized arm was reforming into flesh and blood: You... you almost turned into code.

"Nonsense." Vegeta pushed him away, but secretly rubbed his reddened eyes. How could the Saiyan prince die at the hands of such scum?

Wukong walked to Lin Ye's side and looked at the old man's gradually transparent figure: Senior, has Omega really been destroyed?

The old man handed the staff to Lin Ye. The staff was covered with runes he had never seen before: the core module was destroyed, but the divine laws implanted in the Omni-King's consciousness were still in operation. He pointed to a distant spacetime rift, where twelve pairs of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen. The real threat was hidden in the dimensional rift.

After speaking, the old man vanished in a speck of light, his staff becoming scorching hot in Lin Ye's palm. Suddenly, Bulma's scream came through the communicator: "Spacetime fluctuations detected across the entire universe! The coordinates of all parallel universes are...distorted?"

Lin Ye suddenly looked up and saw the warriors of Universe 16 disappearing, their figures as transparent as if erased by an eraser: The threat his senior spoke of... could it be...?

Never mind all that! Goku, wearing goggles, tossed over an energy capsule, the Coordinate Stabilizer of Universe Sixteen. Remember to call us next time Omega appears! His voice faded into the distance, finally disappearing into the starry sky along with the rift.

The universe returned to silence, leaving only Lin Ye and his two companions floating among the wreckage. Vegeta kicked a piece of debris with the word "Omega" written on it and suddenly cursed, "Damn it, that pile of scrap metal burned a hole in my battle suit!"

Looking at the Spirit Bomb in his hand, which was gradually dimming, Wukong suddenly smiled: But we won, didn't we?

Lin Ye gripped the staff tightly, its crystal sphere reflecting his image—data streams flickering in his left eye, and rock elemental flames burning in his right. He knew Omega's threat was only the beginning. The instant the staff touched his palm, he saw fragments of the old man's memories: the Omni-King's palace was collapsing, an array of twelve scarlet eyes was spinning, and deep within the cracks, a metal seal engraved with the laws of the gods was falling.

"It's not over yet." Lin Ye's voice echoed in the vacuum. The rhombus-shaped crystal suddenly reformed on his chest, emitting a brighter light than ever before. "Bulma, locate the dimensional frequency of the Omni-King's Palace. We have a new battlefield."

After a few seconds of silence on the communicator, Bulma's voice was unusually grave: "The coordinates have been locked... but Lin Ye, the location of the Omni-King's Palace shown on the star map... is turning into a black hole."

Vegeta's tail suddenly tightened, and deep blue flames ignited once more: A black hole? Perfect, let me blast it to smithereens!

Wukong placed his hand on Lin Ye's shoulder, golden flames intertwining with rock elemental energy: "No matter what lies ahead, we'll go together."

Lin Ye gazed at the profound universe, and the crystal ball at the tip of his staff suddenly burst forth with seventeen colors of light. He knew that although the warriors of the multiverse had temporarily departed, those rifts would reopen when a new threat descended—and this time, they would face not only mechanical dragons, but also divine laws that would shake the very foundations of the universe.

Chapter 193: Tracing the Origins of Time and Space

Fragments of the Omega core scattered like burning coals along the edge of the Crab Nebula. When Lin Ye grabbed a spiral-shaped fragment with his bare hands, his fingertips were instantly scorched. It was burning hot! This junk was hotter than Frieza's ship exhaust! He flung the fragment towards the analysis chamber, but Vegeta suddenly wrapped his tail around it, purple flames exploding at the tip: Get out of the way, you piece of trash, watch this prince's attack!

"Alright, Vegeta, stop showing off." Bulma's holographic projection suddenly popped up on the starship's main control panel. She rubbed her dark circles, her lab coat stained with coffee. The radiation level of the core fragment was three hundred times higher than the standard; if she touched it again, even your tail hair would fall out. The analysis module's robotic arm gripped the fragment, and blue frost instantly condensed on the module's walls. The scan results were in—the fragment contained a complete genetic sequence, completely identical to that of the Saiyans and Namekians of Universe 7.

Vegeta's tail stiffened, nearly flinging the fragment into the engine: What did you say? That pile of Omega scrap metal... is our clone?

Lin Ye leaned closer to the scanning screen, where the binary code inside the fragment was automatically arranging itself into a DNA double helix. He suddenly remembered the mural he had seen three years ago in the ruins of the Supreme Kai of Time: Wait, the mechanical dragon's eyes in the mural used this kind of code! The rhombus-shaped crystal in his palm suddenly became hot, and the image of Alice, composed of data streams, flashed on his shoulder: Memory recall signal detected... Analyzing visual residue within the fragment.

A blinding white light flashed, and the image of the metal laboratory appeared on Lin Ye's retina: hundreds of incubation chambers were submerged in green nutrient solution, each containing a silver-haired Saiyan clone, each with a diamond-shaped crystal embedded in their chest. A scientist wearing a silver mask was adjusting instruments with a robotic arm, and a synthesized voice came from a loudspeaker: "Omega Project Experiment 3721, initiating the spacetime anchoring procedure."

"The lab's coordinates!" Bulma suddenly screamed, her fingers typing out sparks on the keyboard. Hidden within the debris were spatial coordinates—near Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way! She pulled up a star chart, and a red warning popped up next to the black hole icon, but the gravitational field there could crush neutron stars into thin sheets; our starship couldn't withstand that!

Even if it's unbearable, we have to hold on. Lin Ye crushed an energy capsule, and a new form of battle suit unfolded on his body. The creators of Omega dared to throw clones into our universe; they should be prepared for their homes to be destroyed. He looked at Goku, who was condensing a Spirit Bomb in his palm and playing with it: "Kakarot, when we enter the black hole later, can you use the Spirit Bomb to hold up the spatial rift?"

No problem! Goku grinned, his silver hair suddenly standing on end. But Lin Ye, why does your battle suit look like the color scheme of Frieza's army?

Vegeta scoffed, his entire body enveloped in deep blue flames: "Probably some junk Bulma scavenged from the junkyard." He suddenly whipped his tail at Lin Ye's back. "What are you waiting for? If you dawdle any longer, the black hole will make us its breakfast!"

As the starship broke through the Crab Nebula, the alarm suddenly blared. Number 18 yanked the control stick, and the stars outside the porthole appeared stretched—the gravitational field of Sagittarius A* was warping space. Engine power dropped to 23%! She gritted her teeth and turned the steering wheel; the starship trembled violently as if gripped by an invisible hand. "Lin Ye, if we don't use your creation soon, we'll become part of a black hole!"

Lin Ye slammed the rhombus-shaped crystal onto the main control panel. The golden light emanating from the crystal formed a hemispherical protective shield, enveloping the starship. But the next second, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the shield—the black hole's gravity was squeezing space like a juicer. No! The crystal's energy is rapidly dissipating! Alice's image flashed a warning red light, detecting a coordinate lock on a higher-dimensional civilization!

Before the words were finished, a white rift suddenly exploded in front of the starship. Ten men in silver uniforms stepped out of the rift, their waist badges emblazoned with a rotating hourglass pattern. The leader raised a cylindrical instrument in his hand, and a beam of green light swept across the starship: Low-dimensional cosmic creature, number 7-349, violated Article 17 of the "Prohibition on Interference with Higher-Dimensional Civilizations," and is now being forcibly repatriated.

"Repatriate you my foot!" Vegeta's Garic Cannon fired instantly, but it turned into specks of light and dissipated upon contact with the person in charge. "What the hell? Where did my attack go?"

The uniformed man, expressionless, adjusted the instruments: "The dimensional suppression field has been activated. Your energy is ineffective outside the three-dimensional universe." Behind him, another uniformed man simultaneously raised an instrument, and dozens of green beams formed a cage that trapped the starship. Hand over the Omega core fragments to avoid dimensional disintegration.

Lin Ye suddenly laughed, and the rhombus-shaped crystal burst forth with seven-colored light in his palm: Want to take the fragment? You'll have to ask my fist first! He ripped his combat suit apart, and the rhombus-shaped scar on his chest resonated with the crystal. Jiren's righteous energy, Namek's life energy, and even Omega's code flow surged within him, and golden patterns appeared on his skin. Alice, analyze the frequency of the dimensional suppression field!

Analyzing...Identified a binding spell of the same origin as the Namekian altar! Alice's image splits into data streams; they're using a technological variant left behind by Frieza's army!

So that's how it is! Lin Ye's left eye turned into a silver data stream, while his right eye ignited with rock elemental flames. "You high-dimensional civilizations, so you're just scavengers after all!" He unleashed a punch, the force of which, fused with multiverse energy, tore apart the dimensional suppression field. "Vegeta! Goku! Lend me your energy! Let them see just how hard a three-dimensional being's fist can be!"

Goku immediately clasped his hands together, and a golden Spirit Bomb poured into Lin Ye's body like a waterfall: "Catch this! This is the energy of the entire Earth plus the blessing of the Supreme Kai!" Vegeta gritted his teeth and whipped his tail around Lin Ye's arm, deep blue flames wrapped in purple lightning surging in: "Don't die before me, you scum! This is the full power of the Saiyan Prince!"

For the first time, the people in silver uniforms showed expressions of astonishment. The leader hurriedly adjusted the equipment: Impossible! A low-dimensional being can analyze high-dimensional energy? Activate the annihilation program! But before he could finish speaking, Lin Ye's fist had already pierced through his energy shield, the force of the punch grazing his mask and creating ring-shaped ripples in the pure white void behind him.

"Enough!" An aged voice suddenly came from the depths of the rift, and all the uniformed men instantly knelt on one knee. An old man leaning on a crystal staff emerged from the rift, his long silver hair flowing with starlight. "Omega is merely a failed experiment from the Third Universe; we have already initiated the recovery process."

Lin Ye's fist stopped three centimeters from the old man's nose, and he could see the star map of seventeen universes reflected in the old man's pupils: a failed experiment? Then why throw it into our universe?

The old man sighed, tapped his staff on the ground, and a holographic image of the Omega core appeared in the air: Thirty thousand years ago, scientists in the Third Universe wanted to test the universe's resilience, but instead created a mechanical life form with self-awareness. In the image, Omega tore through spacetime and escaped the laboratory, taking with it the genetic templates of all the clones. We intended to retrieve it before it evolved the ability to travel between dimensions, but unexpectedly...

"Who would have thought it would transform Shenron into a mechanical monster first?" Bulma's voice came through the communicator. She suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! The star map behind the old man... Why is the Omni-King's palace black?"

The old man whirled around as the light representing the Omni-King's palace on the star map began to fade: Oh no! Although Omega was destroyed, the divine laws implanted in the Omni-King's consciousness were activating! He waved his staff, and Lin Ye's rhombus-shaped crystal suddenly flew out, hovering in the center of the star map. It was about to reverse the time flow of all parallel universes and reset everything back to before the experiment began!

Vegeta's tail suddenly tightened, and he pointed to the rapidly spreading black lines on the star map: "So what should we do now? Go back to Universe 7 to protect Zeno?"

It was too late. The old man plunged his staff into the void, and countless runes surged forth, forming an hourglass pattern. Once the laws of the gods were activated, only finding the original code template of Omega could stop it. He looked at Lin Ye, his eyes flashing with a resolute light, and the template... was in the rhombus-shaped crystal in your hand.

Lin Ye stared intently at the crystal in his palm, where, sure enough, he saw a purplish-black code he had never seen before. Alice's image suddenly appeared in its entirety, her fingers, composed of data streams, pressing against the crystal: "Original code resonance detected... This is... the dimensional coordinates of the Omni-King!"

Just then, the pure white void suddenly trembled violently, and the old man's figure began to become transparent: "The laws of the gods have affected higher dimensions... You must leave quickly!" He threw a badge engraved with an hourglass pattern to Lin Ye, using it to locate Omega's birthplace, where the key to preventing time from resetting lies!

The men in silver uniforms lifted the old man and rushed into the rift. Before leaving, the leader of the uniforms turned back and shouted: Remember! Do not trust any mechanical life form with self-awareness—including the dragons of your universe!

The instant the rift closed, the badge in Lin Ye's hand erupted with intense light. The starship suddenly lost its dimensional suppression and plummeted into the black vortex below. Bulma's scream pierced the communicator: "Gravity field upheaval! We are falling into... a new spacetime rift?"

Lin Ye stared at the rapidly changing coordinates on the badge, then at the purplish-black code within the rhombus crystal, and suddenly felt a chill. The creators of Omega said it was a failed experiment, but why did the light in the Omni-King's Palace go out? And the old man's last words—"Don't trust Shenron..." Could it be that Porunga of Universe Seven...?

"Lin Ye! Look ahead!" Wukong's exclamation interrupted his thoughts. In the black vortex outside the porthole, twelve pairs of scarlet eyes were slowly opening, each reflecting their image. In the center of each eye, a metal seal engraved with the laws of the gods was falling, and the outline of the Omni-King's palace was emerging on its surface.

Chapter 194: Civilization's Rebirth

In the seventy-second hour, as white light enveloped the universe, hundreds of repair ships hovered in geosynchronous orbit. Lin Ye stood on an anti-gravity skateboard, watching as nanobots filled the cracks between the continental plates below—the swarms of blue-glowing mechanical insects were transforming the crater left by the Omega impact into an ecological park.

If the Old Kaioshin saw this scene, he'd probably grind his pipe to dust. Bulma's voice came through the communicator; her capsule ship was passing over the newly formed Mariana Trench. I just sent Piccolo my location; he's helping rebuild the nuclear power plant on the South Island, and he's being surrounded by local kids asking for autographs.

Vegeta suddenly scoffed, his blond hair gleaming in the sunlight: "Trash is trash. Rebuilding is something to be hailed as heroic." But unconsciously, his fingertips traced the patch on the cuff of his battle suit—a mark from the Omega energy burn he sustained while protecting West Capital.

Lin Ye didn't reply, only staring at the golden veins spreading across the Earth's surface. Those were the root system of the World Tree left behind by a higher-dimensional civilization, transforming radiation-contaminated areas into fertile farmland. Suddenly, the rhomboid crystal on his chest emitted a buzzing sound, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its metallic surface.

Warning! Energy is leaking from within the crystal! Alice's data stream exploded in red light on his retina, detecting a quantum entangled consciousness... breaking through the seal!

Just as Wukong pushed the last continental plate back into place, he suddenly turned his head: Lin Ye! Something's wrong with that stone of yours! Before he finished speaking, the rhomboid crystal suddenly exploded, and a stream of purplish-black energy shot out like a living thing, condensing in space into the head of Omega—although it was only the size of a basketball, it caused the engines of the surrounding repair ships to collectively overload.

Surprised? Omega's single eye flashed with data streams. "The higher-dimensional civilization healed your planet, but forgot to clean up the garbage!" Its voice, like rusty gears grinding, made Lin Ye's eardrums ache. "See that blue light below? That's the mantle energy at Earth's core. As long as I crash into it—"

"You dare!" Vegeta instantly transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, and the shockwave from his punch sent three nearby repair boats flying. "I'll smash you into data fragments right now!"

Omega suddenly vanished from its spot. Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked abruptly towards Earth—the purplish-black energy was hurtling towards Tokyo Bay at faster-than-light speed, its target the area with the densest root system of the World Tree.

Oh no! It's going to destroy the very foundation of civilization's revival! Bulma's scream is accompanied by static, Goku, intercept it quickly! Vegeta uses Instant Transmission!

Lin Ye wanted to give chase, but found his body bound by invisible shackles. He looked down and saw silver code seeping from the gaps in the armor—Omega had already set a trap in the rhombus crystal, using the restorative energy of a higher-dimensional civilization to counter his power of law.

Don't waste your energy. Omega's voice echoed in his mind, "You can't even lift a hand now, you can only look at me—"

boom!

A streak of silver light suddenly stretched across the sky above Tokyo Bay. Number 18 floated in the clouds with her arms outstretched. Her combat suit was tattered, yet countless points of light oozed from her wounds, condensing into a semi-transparent energy shield on her body.

Number 18? What are you doing here? Krillin's voice boomed from the ground communications station, "Your energy reading... exceeds Super Saiyan 3?!"

Omega's impact slammed into the energy shield, shaking the entire Earth. Lin Ye, watching from space, saw Number 18's hair whipping wildly in the shockwave, blood trickling from his mouth, yet he still managed to deflect the purplish-black energy ball a hundred meters away.

I...promised Number 17 to protect this land. Number 18's voice was intermittent, and the metal bracelet on her wrist was emitting an eerie red light—it was the Omega energy core embedded in her during the last battle, which was now converting destructive energy into a protective field.

A lousy android dares to stop me? Omega splits into thousands of energy streams, swarming towards the energy shield like a bee. I'll see if your shield can stop the atomic disintegration rays!

Lin Ye finally broke free from the code's shackles, but Vegeta stopped him: Don't go! Her energy is assimilating with Omega; if you get close, you'll be decomposed along with it!

Just then, Number 18 suddenly closed her eyes. A blinding light erupted from the energy core in her chest, and all the Omega energy streams that touched the light instantly turned into golden specks. Lin Ye suddenly remembered the words the higher-dimensional civilization had spoken before leaving: True protection is not destruction, but transformation.

"So that's how it is..." Lin Ye murmured to herself. She had transformed the destructive energy of Omega into the growth energy of the World Tree!

On the ground, everyone witnessed a spectacle—Number 18's energy shield transformed into a gigantic flower of life, each petal absorbing Omega's attacks and then scattering golden pollen. The pollen fell on the ruins, instantly sprouting towering trees; it fell on the radiation zone, turning it into clear lakes; and it fell on wounded animals, healing their wounds immediately.

Omega's energy weakened, and its form began to become transparent: No... my power... how could it have become like this... It took one last look at the vibrant Earth below, let out a sharp electronic whistle, and completely disintegrated into countless points of light, merging into the roots of the World Tree.

The moment the energy shield disappeared, Android 18 plummeted straight down. Krillin caught her using Instant Transmission and found that she was clutching half of a mechanical prosthetic eye in her hand—the last piece left behind by Android 17, which was now emitting a faint glow.

She was alright, just exhausted. Bulma's scanning beam swept over Android 18's entire body, but the Omega Core within her... had transformed into pure energy crystals, now the life source of Earth.
