Chapter 4 Heading Straight to Earth
"Beep beep beep~"
Outside the spaceship, Ella had already stepped out of the treatment pod, recovered to her peak condition, and was fiddling with the last remaining combat capability detector in her hand.
As the detector's beeping subsided, a look of confusion flashed in Ella's eyes, because the highest combat strength displayed on the screen was less than a thousand!
"That guy Rhodes got killed?!"
The results from the combat power detector shocked Ella. Rhodes' combat power was as high as 2,500 points, only 100 points less than her own, yet he was killed silently!
"wrong!"
Without Rhodes' combat strength being displayed, Ella initially assumed he had been killed, but she quickly realized the problem: the probes showed that the highest combat strength of any life form on this planet was less than a thousand.
How could Rhode be killed when he didn't even have a combat power of a thousand? This puzzled Ella greatly.
"Beep beep beep..."
Just as Ella was wondering, the combat power detector alarm sounded, indicating that two life forms with a combat power of less than 500 were rapidly approaching. She immediately looked up at the sky.
That is?
Rhodes is not dead!
Upon closer inspection, Ella saw Rhodes unharmed. But after taking a closer look at the combat power detector, she discovered that his combat power was only 300 points!
Swish!
Just as Ella was filled with doubts about the changes in Rhode's combat strength, Rhode arrived at the spaceship with a Reiner alien.
"This is Tabo, the top scientist on Lynar. I hired him to remove the positioning and monitoring devices from the spaceship and combat capability detectors."
Upon approaching, Rhodes' gaze fell upon Ella, and he gave a brief explanation.
Swish!
boom!
However, Rhodes was met with Ella's fists, which struck his face without mercy.
"What are you doing?"
Rhode was completely baffled by Ella's inexplicable attack.
"Enough talk, beat me first!"
Ella was initially puzzled by Rhodes's reduced combat strength, but after exchanging blows, she immediately realized that his strength had not decreased at all. However, since she had already made a move, she might as well get back at him.
Now that Ella's combat power has increased to 2,600 points, she is confident enough to defeat Rhodes.
Bang bang bang!
The two attacked in quick succession, their fists clashing, the surging power spreading and shaking the very air. This terrified Tabo, the alien from the Reiner family who had come with Rhodes, who scrambled to hide in a panic.
Boo!
After a series of brutal clashes, neither side gained the upper hand. Or rather, Rhode was rapidly adapting to the fight throughout. Initially suppressed by Ella, he gradually brought the two sides to a draw, and finally gained the upper hand completely.
After awakening his memories, Rhodes, transformed into a giant ape, simply and brutally bombarded the enemy with energy blasts when faced with the encirclement and annihilation of the Reiner aliens. He had no chance to get used to close combat. Now, Ella, a worthy opponent, is the perfect opportunity to hone his combat skills.
Perhaps due to his greatly enhanced comprehension ability, Rhodes' combat skills were quickly integrated and strengthened during his battle with Ella. This is why he was still able to gain the upper hand against Ella, whose combat power was 100 points higher.
Boo!
Seeing that she couldn't gain an advantage in close combat, Ella immediately created distance and unleashed a barrage of energy blasts at Rhodes as if they were free.
Boom boom boom!
Energy blasts exploded around Rhodes, filling the air with smoke and dust, and the deafening roar echoed in all directions.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The brief burst of energy quickly depleted Ella's stamina. She gasped for breath, her eyes fixed on the explosion site, awaiting the final outcome.
Swish!
boom!
However, the smoke cleared up the next moment, and Ella was immediately startled to find that Rhodes was not in the same spot at all.
Just as he was on guard, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, followed by a tremendous force that slammed into him, causing him to lose control of his body and be blasted into the ground.
As soon as Ella crashed into the ground, Rhodes followed closely, stepping on her without mercy, causing her to vomit blood.
"Ella, this was your only chance in this life to defeat me! Unfortunately, you didn't seize it."
Looking down at Ella lying on the ground from his vantage point, Rhode's expression was serious. Finally, he shook his head indifferently, then moved his foot, and with a swift movement, disappeared.
How is that possible?!
At this moment, Ella's physical pain was far less intense than her mental anguish; she simply couldn't understand why she had lost.
Even though she didn't know how Rhodes had concealed his combat power, she was certain that her combat power of 2,600 points had surpassed his. However, after this battle, she was almost completely outmatched, which she simply couldn't accept!
After lying there for a long time, Ella still couldn't understand where she had lost. Finally, she got up, went to the spaceship, and looked at Rhodes with bright eyes: "What's going on with your combat power?"
"It has strengthened the control over the body's energy and concealed it."
When asked by Ella, Rod didn't hide anything. After all, knowing something is one thing, but being able to do it is another.
"My combat power is currently 2600. You've surpassed me?"
Hearing Rod's words, Ella seemed thoughtful, but still asked with reluctance.
"No, it's still around 2,500 points."
Rhodes wasn't seriously injured before, and he hadn't figured out the training method, so his combat power hadn't improved much.
"Then what about you?"
The fact that someone whose fighting strength didn't surpass hers yet managed to defeat her made it even harder for Ella to accept.
"See my hairstyle?"
Seeing that Ella couldn't accept it, Rod pointed to his hairstyle, which was the same as that of a certain arrogant king.
"We Saiyans are born with hairstyles that never change, aren't you the same?"
Ella was baffled by Rod's sudden mention of hairstyles and had no idea what he was talking about.
"Remember, this hairstyle means invincibility!"
Rod pointed to his hair, his expression aloof and his eyes disdainful, giving Ella the illusion of looking up to him.
Seeing that he had subdued Ella, Rod thought for a moment and explained why she had lost: "The reason you lost is because your fighting skills were not refined enough, and your control and utilization of power were too crude. In short, you had many shortcomings."
"Is that so?"
Upon learning the reason, Ella nodded as if she understood, but without asking Rhode how he did it, she turned and left.
As a fellow high-ranking warrior, Ella may not be as quick to comprehend as Rhodes is now, but she is exceptionally talented and understands the reason for the difference. She immediately went to the side to figure it out on her own.
The Saiyan's unique arrogance!
Seeing Ella turn and leave, Rod, who had wanted to impart some experience, was speechless: Forget it, we'll talk when you hit a brick wall.
Immediately, Rhodes ignored Ella and looked at Tabo, the green-skinned, white-haired man beside him: "Tabo, are you done?"
"I have removed the positioning and monitoring devices from the spacecraft and combat capability detectors!"
Facing Rhodes, Tabo's face turned green, and he answered tremblingly.
"You're not up to something, are you?"
Looking at the green-skinned man in front of him, whose eyes were filled with fear and whose expression was terrified, Rhodes narrowed his eyes and asked a fatal question.
No! Absolutely not!
Upon hearing Rod's words, Tabo immediately knelt down and pleaded earnestly, "My lord, please spare me!"
"You can leave now."
Seeing Tabo's state, Rod impatiently waved him away.
"Why not kill them?"
As Tabo walked further and further away, Ella came to his side, not understanding Rhodes' actions.
"It's irrelevant!"
As a Reiner, Tabo was not trusted by Rhodes, but it didn't matter. As long as the ship was functioning properly and could hold out until the nearest technological planet for replacement, it was fine. Excluding location tracking and surveillance was just to create another layer of confusion for Frieza's army.
"What do we do next?"
Since they weren't going back to Planet Vegeta, Ella was curious about what Rod would do next.
"Let's go to an unknown planet; we'll find what we need there!"
Rhodes didn't mention Earth directly; he planned to wait until he had replaced the ships several times and completely erased their traces from Frieza's army's surveillance before telling Ayra.
"Let's go!"
After saying this, the two boarded the spaceship, confirmed that all functions of the spaceship were normal, and after debugging, the spaceship took off, broke through the atmosphere, and flew towards the nearest technological planet according to the star map.
