"Brother, Son Goku is very strong, he's worth me making a move." The Four-Star Dragon, whose body was a brilliant golden color and whose appearance was somewhat peculiar, looked towards the direction of the Lookout.
"He is indeed powerful, but as long as you and I, brothers, work together, a mere Saiyan is nothing to worry about." The Three-Star Dragon, who looked similar to the Four-Star Dragon but was completely covered in frosty cold and dyed snow-white, curled his lips.
"No, I can defeat him by myself." The Four-Star Dragon said decisively.
The Four-Star Dragon's strength was slightly greater than the Three-Star Dragon's, though the Three-Star Dragon was unaware of this.
He had always thought that his and his brother's strengths were similar.
The space trembled slightly.
The Four-Star Dragon seemed to sense something, and his brow furrowed: "He's here!"
Sure enough, just as the Four-Star Dragon finished speaking, Goku appeared about ten meters away, observing him and the Three-Star Dragon.
"Son Goku, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" the Four-Star Dragon said.
"You guys look different from the previous guys," Goku said, looking at the Four-Star Dragon and the Three-Star Dragon.
The feeling these two Shadow Dragons gave him was on a completely different level from the Shadow Dragons he had dealt with before.
Goku had to admit that if he hadn't trained for two years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he and Vegeta would not have been a match for either of these two Shadow Dragons.
To call them opponents would have been an understatement.
Their power was on a completely different dimension.
The strength of the two Shadow Dragons far surpassed Baby and Super Android 17.
"I wonder how strong the One-Star Dragon is, perhaps even stronger than the Shadow Dragons in front of me."
Because the Shadow Dragons suppressed their ki, even with their exact locations, Goku could only barely find the suppressed ki when he searched carefully.
Unless he made direct contact, there was no way to roughly judge their strength.
"Son Goku, to deal with you, we have absorbed all the negative energy floating in the universe. Now, we are not on the same level as the Shadow Dragons you dealt with before."
The Four-Star Dragon kindly warned, "If you approach this with the same mindset you had when you dealt with those few Shadow Dragons not long ago, then you will surely die here."
"Why are you telling me this?" Goku looked slightly surprised.
"I want a fair fight. If you die because of your carelessness, I would be very troubled," the Four-Star Dragon explained.
"Speaking of which, as the Four-Star Dragon, my birth is subtly connected to you," the Four-Star Dragon told Goku about his origin.
"Idiot Four-Star Dragon, there's no need to tell these things to someone who is bound to die." The Three-Star Dragon truly couldn't understand the Four-Star Dragon's thought process.
"Hmph, this is my fight," the Four-Star Dragon said coldly, "Three-Star Dragon, I will not allow you to interfere!"
With that, the Four-Star Dragon slowly walked forward.
"Just you alone?" Goku's face showed a hint of surprise.
He had thought he would have to fight a tough battle and stall until Vegeta arrived.
"That's right."
Fiery flames erupted from the Four-Star Dragon's body, and this terrifying heat even made Goku feel as if he were about to fall into the sun, similar to when he almost did in space.
A scorching beam of light shot out from his palm, flying directly towards Goku.
Seeing this, Goku quickly dodged.
The fiery red beam struck the building behind Goku.
Almost in the next second, the building began to collapse, and the sturdy walls rapidly dissolved.
The entire building disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into a red liquid like magma, with faint flames still flickering on its surface.
Having dodged the Four-Star Dragon's attack, Goku also noticed the burnt marks on the ground.
He couldn't help but click his tongue.
"How terrifying!"
If he hadn't dodged just now, it would have been troublesome.
The Four-Star Dragon reappeared, now in front of Goku.
Flames erupted from his fist, and he slammed it fiercely towards Goku's forehead.
Goku didn't dare to be careless either.
A layer of ki covered his entire body, neutralizing the power of the Four-Star Dragon's flames.
Boom!
Goku used his right hand to catch the Four-Star Dragon's fist.
A terrifying shockwave spread from the two of them as its center, radiating throughout the entire city.
Countless shattered stones, accompanied by a raging gale, scattered everywhere.
"You are indeed strong, Son Goku!"
His attack was caught, but the Four-Star Dragon showed no signs of panic; instead, battle intent appeared on his face.
"Hehe, you too." Goku grabbed the Four-Star Dragon's wrist with both hands, exerted force, and threw the Four-Star Dragon away with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The Four-Star Dragon spread his wings in the sky, stopping his momentum.
Then, he left an afterimage in place and launched another fierce attack on Goku.
Boom!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of punches meeting flesh echoed with a series of explosions.
Above the entire city, the figures of the Four-Star Dragon and Goku flickered continuously.
As their clash grew more intense, the entire ground began to tremble, and the city's surface cracked layer by layer.
If the Dragon Balls hadn't strengthened Earth to the same intensity as the Supreme Kai Realm, then Earth would have probably been destroyed by the shockwaves when the Four-Star Dragon and Goku fought.
Even now, this empty, abandoned city has become riddled with holes.
Below, the Three-Star Dragon, who was watching the battle between the Four-Star Dragon and Goku, stomped his foot repeatedly.
The Four-Star Dragon was indeed stronger than him, his elder brother; he had to admit that.
But this was a battle of life and death.
Why were they acting like a ring match? Looking at their expressions, it seemed they were even developing feelings for each other?
"Hmph, I have no choice but to intervene."
To prevent his useless younger brother and Goku from becoming too fond of each other and getting deeper into trouble, he had to break them up.
The Three-Star Dragon gathered all his strength, seizing the opening that appeared behind Goku when he was clashing with the Four-Star Dragon.
"Haa—!"
A beam of extreme ice shot out.
"What?!"
Goku was startled.
He had been paying attention to the Three-Star Dragon's movements, but fighting the Four-Star Dragon required most of his energy.
He only barely managed to dodge the Three-Star Dragon's attack.
The Four-Star Dragon widened the distance from Goku and glared at the Three-Star Dragon who had flown up: "What are you doing?!"
"I told you, I don't need you to interfere in my battle!"
"Vegeta is coming, his ki is not weaker than Goku's!" the Three-Star Dragon said. "Dealing with one of them quickly is the top priority."
The Three-Star Dragon ignored the Four-Star Dragon and began to launch a fierce assault on Goku.
"Hmph, then you go deal with Vegeta, Goku is mine!" The Four-Star Dragon did not agree to the Three-Star Dragon's suggestion to attack Goku together.
…
At the Lookout.
A creature with black spikes on its back, an appearance seven or eight parts similar to the Demon King Dabura, and most of its body snow-white, appeared before the Z Fighters.
What terrified the Z Fighters the most was an object embedded in this creature's chest.
A murky, chaotic, and cracked Dragon Ball.
A five-pointed star was engraved on the Dragon Ball.
This creature was one of the Shadow Dragons, and very likely the leader of the Shadow Dragons.
He was the One-Star Dragon.
The One-Star Dragon's hoarse voice echoed throughout the entire Lookout.
"Goku and Vegeta, those two idiots, did they think I wouldn't know they put the Dragon Balls at the Lookout?"
