Chapter 8: Trash Baby, Actively Delivering Himself
The sound of footsteps stopping was followed by Vegeta's suppressed voice, "Fine... I'll go with you!"
"Haha... I still love Dad the most!"
Then came the sound of two sets of footsteps leaving together. Lin Qi leisurely sipped a bit of red wine. "What a beautiful night!"
"However, if you keep staring at me like that, I might make you vanish along with this night!"
"Um..." Just as Lin Qi put down his wine glass, a timid voice rang out.
"Sir, do you know everything that's happening on Earth right now?" It was the voice of that old geezer, the Elder Kai.
In the Sacred World of the Kai, the Elder Kai looked worriedly at the indifferent Lin Qi through his crystal ball.
"I know... but what does it have to do with me?" Lin Qi replied coldly. "I think you'd better worry about the Kami. After all..."
"After all, if the Kami is controlled, he might hand over the Black Star Dragon Balls to Baby!"
"But Dende's strength..." Kibito Kai anxiously leaned toward the crystal ball.
"No worries, isn't there Ultra Divine Water beneath their temple?" Lin Qi sipped his wine again.
"The Ultra Divine Water can get rid of the eggs Baby left behind!"
"Thank you, sir!" Ignoring whatever Kibito Kai wanted to say, the Elder Kai directly shifted the crystal ball's view to the Kami's Lookout.
"Why though? This man clearly has the power to erase that Tuffle in an instant..." Kibito Kai was deeply troubled.
"Hmph, what do you know? Powerful people always have some odd quirks!" The Elder Kai smacked Kibito Kai on the head.
"Maybe, like Goku and the others, he enjoys waiting until the enemy is at full strength!"
While Lin Qi waited for Bulma to finish researching the time machine, far away in the universe, Goku, Trunks, and Pan had finally gathered all the Black Star Dragon Balls.
They were on their way back to Earth!
Day and night alternated quickly.
Lin Qi stretched lazily and walked to the balcony, breathing in the fresh scent of grass from the garden.
"Sir... Sir..." The Elder Kai's voice was filled with urgency as he called out without pause.
"Sir, please help! In just one night, every human on Earth has been controlled by that Tuffle!"
"Even Vegeta was taken over last night on his way back!"
Baby had started by targeting the weakest Saiyan, Goten, and gradually dismantled the Saiyan resistance on Earth.
Now, even Vegeta was parasitized. The only one who could save Earth now seemed to be Lin Qi.
"So fast?" Lin Qi dropped his hands and walked toward the dining room, replying as he went. "Just one night... Baby works quickly!"
"What about Goku and the others? Haven't they returned to Earth yet?"
"They're on their way, but I don't know if they'll make it in time..." The Elder Kai sighed deeply.
Lin Qi entered the dining room and, just as he sat down, robots began to serve an array of colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes.
Lin Qi listened indifferently and began eating his breakfast leisurely. "No need to worry. Goku and the others will definitely make it!"
Even if Baby managed to parasitize Vegeta's body, his power would probably only reach Super Saiyan 3 at most.
Even after absorbing Gohan and Goten's power, the Super Saiyan 3 limit was being generous to Baby.
He wasn't a match for Lin Qi at all!
After finishing his breakfast calmly, Lin Qi was surprised to find that instead of him going to find Baby, Baby came looking for him.
"Could it be that he needs Bulma's technological help?" Lin Qi instantly teleported to Bulma's lab.
At that moment, Bulma seemed exhausted from working all night and was sleeping soundly at her desk.
Squinting, Lin Qi looked through the window at Vegeta, who had been parasitized by Baby and had just landed outside. That guy...
It seemed he couldn't fully control Vegeta's body or power, as his strength was weaker than Vegeta's.
Following behind him were Gohan and Goten, whose power levels were nothing to write home about.
Well, that made sense. These two Saiyans had integrated so well into Earth life—one spent his days studying, the other chasing girls!
"There are still Saiyans here..." Vegeta, now controlled by Baby, had blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Baby, huh?" At this point, Vegeta couldn't really be called Vegeta anymore; calling him Baby was more fitting.
Although Baby had parasitized Vegeta's body, his appearance had some distinct differences.
For example, his silver hair and the vertical lines on his face made him look downright hideous!
"You came looking for me? Do you think you've lived long enough?" Lin Qi glanced at Baby with disdain.
If Vegeta himself could be beaten to the ground by Lin Qi, what chance did Baby have?
If it weren't for Baby's ability to help Goku achieve Super Saiyan 4, Lin Qi wouldn't even tolerate this parasite hopping around!
"I'll teach this disrespectful guy a lesson for Lord Baby!" Gohan stepped forward, eager to volunteer.
"Not necessary! That damn Saiyan—I'll personally twist his neck..." Baby sneered, his expression bloodthirsty as he approached the window step by step.
Lin Qi glanced at Bulma, who was still peacefully asleep, and instantly teleported outside to stand before Baby.
"Dammit... what's with that look in your eyes!" Baby roared in rage when he saw the pity in Lin Qi's gaze.
"I just think you're pathetic, not even realizing the situation you're in..."
Before Lin Qi finished speaking, he grabbed Baby's wrist and flung him into the sky.
He couldn't let this guy disturb Bulma, who was working hard on the time machine!
"You bastard, you've successfully angered me!" Baby stabilized himself mid-air and launched a purple energy blast at Lin Qi.
Boom!
The explosion engulfed Lin Qi in smoke.
Seeing this, Baby sneered arrogantly. "Mere Saiyan! That was just my carelessness earlier, or you wouldn't have been able to toss me out!"
"But..." Baby looked at his own hands. "Vegeta's body is truly impressive..."
"It's just a shame I can't torture him properly to vent my anger!" Goten jumped into the air as well, flattering Baby.
"Heh..." A cold smile appeared on Lin Qi's face as the smoke dissipated, his eyes filled with even more disdain.
Swish!
In a flash, Lin Qi appeared before the stunned Baby and delivered a swift, powerful punch.
The punch landed squarely on Baby's abdomen, its immense force bending Baby's back like a cooked shrimp.
"Argh..." Baby let out a miserable scream, coughing up a mouthful of blood as his mind went completely blank.
