Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 568: The first battle with Zalama, the disparity between humans and god

Zalama’s attack was slow and seemed almost nonchalant.

He simply shot out a beam of energy from his eyes.

Similar attacks could be performed by many, such as Frieza and Piccolo.

Yet, within this seemingly ordinary attack, there was an astonishing power.

As the golden energy wave passed, the space between the two broke apart in layers.

Even more terrifying was that as the energy wave approached, Lin Chen realized that the space around him seemed to have frozen, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Lin Chen’s hair stood on end, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.

His Ultra Ego technique was unconsciously activated, and Lin Chen immediately discovered the weak point in the frozen space around him.

A burst of power was then released.

A faint sound of space shattering.

Lin Chen could finally move.

But at the same time, Zalama’s attack was already upon him.

As the golden energy wave closed in, the space around Lin Chen began to freeze again.

An immense Power of Law was interfering with the Power of Space around Lin Chen. Although it hadn’t completely trapped him, Lin Chen found that all his techniques relying on the Power of Space were temporarily of no use.

Unable to dodge, he could only attack it head-on.

Lin Chen clasped his hands together in a lotus stance, gathering all his energy.

“Kamehameha!”

A blue energy started to gather in his palms.

No… this isn’t enough!

Lin Chen knew that this amount of power alone wouldn’t suffice, so he integrated the purple-black Power of Destruction into the technique.

When the Power of Destruction was added, the originally blue Kamehameha turned purple-black, gaining an aura of annihilation.

Bang!

The two forces collided and exploded with a loud bang.

A massive shockwave spread out in all directions from the point of impact.

Several shockwaves shot towards Gohanks and the others, forcing them to use all their strength to defend.

Frieza, however, remained disdainful, not believing the shock waves could affect him. He kept standing with his arms crossed, not moving.

Soon, the shockwave hit everyone. Despite the energy shield, Gohanks and the others swayed as if caught in a storm.

As for Frieza, who underestimated it and tried to act cool, he was sent flying out of everyone’s sight.

“How is this possible?!!!”

No one paid attention to the careless Frieza; instead, they focused on Lin Chen.

Barely blocking Zalama’s attack, Lin Chen’s expression did not improve but became more alarmed.

His opponent’s strength was far beyond his imagination.

Was this really just a clone of Zalama?

Then, what would the real Zalama’s strength be like?

“Oh, being able to block my attack, you indeed have some skill. No wonder even the three Demon Gods were no match for you.”

Zalama shook his arms, landed on the ground, and slowly walked towards Lin Chen.

“But even a Demon God is just an ant before me! And you are no different!”

Zalama’s majestic voice declared at this moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved.

In the next moment, he was already in front of Lin Chen.

“So fast!”

Everyone exclaimed, especially Piccolo, whose eyes widened.

Zalama’s appearance resembled a Namekian, and his clothing reminded Piccolo of the Old Kami on Earth.

But the power Zalama displayed was far beyond that of any Namekian.

Just as Zalama rushed forward, Lin Chen’s eyebrow twitched sharply. His opponent was so fast that even he couldn’t catch his traces.

“Ultra Ego!”

Facing the Dragon God, Lin Chen didn’t dare to be careless and immediately unleashed his strongest realm.

His hair turned a deep crimson, like blood.

His aura turned scarlet, enveloping his entire body.

Under this aura, Lin Chen successfully caught Zalama’s movements. Immediately, he executed an even stronger technique.

“Ultra Instinct Kill!”

Just before Zalama’s fist could land, Lin Chen struck first, countering attack with attack, killing intent with killing intent!

Bang!

In a flash of light, Zalama’s body slid back several steps.

Though struck, Zalama wasn’t angry. Instead, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Ultra Ego… Ultra Instinct Kill? You know both these techniques?!”

“Hehehe, interesting!”

Zalama’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and with another swift step, he charged at Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t dodge but charged forward as well.

Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct Kill clashed again.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Lin Chen was sent flying, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.

“What happened?!”

The onlookers were shocked.

Lin Chen lost in close combat?

Lin Chen, with both Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct Kill, was knocked away by Zalama?

How could this be?!

Not to mention the Ultra Ego, which boasts a hundred percent hit rate, Lin Chen’s Ultra Instinct Kill could predict and counter the enemy’s attacks in advance!

With these two techniques, Lin Chen could even deal with the Perfected Ultra Instinct state with ease. How could he be repelled by Zalama?

Amidst the crowd’s confusion, they suddenly noticed something unusual.

“Look, Zalama…!”

“How, how is this possible!”

“Why?! Why does Zalama also know Ultra Ego?!”

At this moment, Zalama’s body was enveloped in a red fiery aura.

The aura was like flames as it kept rising.

Under this aura, Zalama’s originally green body appeared as if it was stained with fresh blood.

In the distance, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and slowly got up from the ground.

When he saw Zalama in front of him, he was as stunned as the others.

Others might not be sure, but Lin Chen knew at a glance that Zalama’s current appearance was indeed of Ultra Ego!

That blood-like aura was proof of Ultra Ego!

But why…

Why does Zalama also know Ultra Ego?

Suddenly, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recalled something from the past.

Back then, when Lin Chen was troubled by his inability to grasp Ultra Instinct due to his condition, Old Kai had told him that there existed a technique in the world that was the natural enemy of Ultra Instinct.

That technique was Ultra Ego, and the person who created it did so specifically to counter Ultra Instinct.

This person…

Just as Lin Chen thought of this, he heard Zalama snort coldly.

“Strange? What’s so strange about it? Ultra Ego was created by me to defeat the Grand Priest!”

Hearing this, everyone was utterly shocked.
