Chapter 159: Berserk Kale
Fierce winds howled, whipping up clouds of dust and sand.
Six-Star Dragon hovered in midair, staring at the figure below, uncertain light flickering in its eyes.
"Where did that earlier aura go?"
Though Kale's presence already posed enough threat in its perception, Six-Star Dragon's attention wasn't actually on her.
It constantly scanned the surroundings while pushing its sensory abilities to maximum.
"How can there be nothing?"
After searching for ages without discovering anything, Six-Star Dragon couldn't help feeling paranoid.
"Did I sense incorrectly?"
"No—that aura belonged to that Saiyan!"
Just as Six-Star Dragon thought it had made an error, it suddenly recalled the Saiyan it had encountered several days ago—Turles.
"Turles, I know you're here! Come out!"
Six-Star Dragon warily spun in place, surveying its surroundings.
As an Evil Dragon, Six-Star Dragon—like Three-Star Dragon—naturally knew about Turles. Likewise, it greatly feared his strength.
Even more so due to its mental ability's special nature. After that brief glimpse of Turles last time, it had clearly perceived Turles's mental strength was powerful—perhaps not inferior to its own.
So after sensing Turles's aura appear again, though extremely wary, Six-Star Dragon had still come.
Because its heart had always carried an intense sense of crisis.
Speaking of which, this seemed incredible—but it was the truth.
The Dragon Balls were miraculous. Especially in the Dragon Ball universe, as props permeating the original plot throughout, they possessed magical abilities beyond ordinary imagination.
And Six-Star Dragon—this Evil Dragon born from the Six-Star Dragon Ball—had always possessed a premonition: that it could potentially be devoured.
Though gathering seven Dragon Balls into one Evil Dragon might birth an unimaginably powerful being.
But as an intelligent life, it naturally didn't want its existence to become merely part of another. At minimum, Six-Star Dragon didn't.
So after being born on this planet, Six-Star Dragon had only used mind control abilities to manipulate the planet's lifeforms. Unlike Three-Star Dragon's flamboyance, it had kept low-key, having these beings maintain normal appearances while it hid.
But Turles's arrival let Six-Star Dragon see a kind of hope.
Namely, controlling Turles to make him its puppet.
Six-Star Dragon conceived this idea because after their last encounter, it had captured a fragment of Turles's memory.
Yes—though their previous meeting lasted only an instant, Six-Star Dragon's mind-reading ability had still extracted memory from Turles.
And precisely this memory fragment let Six-Star Dragon truly understand Turles's power. If it could control Turles, then even if an Evil Dragon with devouring abilities came for it, it wouldn't fear—might even counter-devour the opponent.
Thinking this, Six-Star Dragon's heart burned even hotter. It continued shouting in midair, trying to bluff Turles out.
"Turles, what did you do to Six-Star Dragon? Why is it so fixated on you?"
Hearing Six-Star Dragon continuously shouting Turles's name above, Carrit felt curious.
Turles naturally didn't know Six-Star Dragon had already set its sights on him. Currently hiding with Carrit's group behind a massive boulder, he turned a deaf ear to Six-Star Dragon's shouting.
Turles also felt somewhat confused. Last time he'd only exchanged a glance with Six-Star Dragon before sensing its mental probing and using Instant Transmission to escape. He hadn't done anything else.
However, the group soon couldn't spare attention for Six-Star Dragon's strange behavior.
Because Kale had finally begun attacking.
BOOM!
An enormous crash—the earth beneath Kale directly shattered. Then her body shot toward Six-Star Dragon like a cannonball.
Originally, Six-Star Dragon hadn't taken Kale seriously at all.
Though Kale's aura was very powerful, from her violent presence Six-Star Dragon knew her mental strength wasn't strong. As long as it found an opportunity, Kale would have only one fate—being controlled.
But Six-Star Dragon obviously didn't know current Kale was in an irrational state. Already affected by the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline, plus Six-Star Dragon's constant shouting, Kale's mental state grew even more violent.
So with Six-Star Dragon unprepared, Kale's attack struck it directly.
"Pugh!"
Hit by Kale's berserk assault, Six-Star Dragon spat out a large mouthful of blood, then was sent flying by the tremendous force.
Kale, having lost her reason, pressed her advantage relentlessly. Before Six-Star Dragon's body flew far, she immediately charged forward again, grabbing Six-Star Dragon's tail. She swung Six-Star Dragon around wildly in midair like a pinwheel.
"This is... Kale?"
Caulifla hadn't witnessed Kale and Broly's rampage scene. Now watching the small giant-like Kale above, she truly couldn't believe it.
Current Kale had grown a full head taller. Her entire body's muscles bulged, making her a full size larger overall.
Fortunately, before coming, Turles had obtained a set of specialized battle armor from Bulma. Otherwise her clothes would have burst.
Not just her—even Cabba's group stared wide-eyed with disbelief.
In their impressions, Kale had always been timid and hesitant. Even when bullied, she'd only secretly cry.
This normally wallflower-like little girl becoming so violent—they really couldn't accept it.
Comparatively, Turles was already accustomed to such sights.
After all, he'd faced rampaging Broly multiple times. Kale's current appearance, in Turles's eyes, still wasn't enough.
However, Six-Star Dragon's performance surprised Turles somewhat.
Logically, Six-Star Dragon's battle power didn't differ greatly from current Kale's. Yet being bullied this badly—this truly exceeded Turles's expectations.
Turles didn't know that Six-Star Dragon's attention had been entirely focused on searching for him, never imagining it would be ambushed by Kale—thus losing initiative.
However, being tormented like this by Kale, Six-Star Dragon completely enraged.
Fierce determination rising in its heart, it raised its palm and slashed toward its own tail.
The hand-blade passed through—Six-Star Dragon's tail severed cleanly at the root. Ignoring the spurting blood, it used the centrifugal force to distance itself from Kale.
Smack!
Kale's spinning body suddenly stumbled. After steadying herself, she looked at the severed tail in her hand, confusion flashing momentarily through her eyes.
"Hiss!"
Turles's group was also shocked by Six-Star Dragon's ruthless methods, collectively gasping.
"How brutal!" Turles couldn't help exclaiming.
"Yeah!"
After discarding the severed tail, the confusion vanished from Kale's eyes. She launched another assault on Six-Star Dragon.
Watching Kale charge again, Six-Star Dragon completely enraged. Combined with agonizing pain from its tail stump, its expression turned exceptionally ugly.
"You're dead!"
Six-Star Dragon said coldly, light flashing in its eyes as it prepared to activate mind control on Kale.
But Kale's speed was simply too fast. Before mind control could complete, Kale had already reached it.
Still that violent assault—Kale's right hand clenched, her pot-sized fist smashing toward Six-Star Dragon's face.
Sensing the incoming fist wind, Six-Star Dragon helplessly canceled mind control, raising both arms to block Kale's heavy punch.
BANG!
CRACK!
Kale's heavy fist collided with Six-Star Dragon's arms. But Six-Star Dragon obviously hadn't expected Kale's strength to be this tremendous. Hearing the cracking sound, it knew its arm bones had shattered.
"Ahh!"
Six-Star Dragon couldn't help crying out.
But Kale's violence obviously wouldn't stop due to Six-Star Dragon's pain. On the contrary, its screams further stimulated the Legendary Super Saiyan's brutality.
"GRAHHH!"
An inhuman roar emerged from Kale's throat. Her aura surged upward another level. Then her large hand grabbed Six-Star Dragon's entire head like gripping a small ball. Her arm's veins bulged as she began slowly applying force.
She actually intended to crush Six-Star Dragon's skull like this.
"Kale!"
Watching such a violent Kale, Caulifla's eyes flashed with heartache.
Current Kale seemed too unfamiliar to Caulifla. Not only had her appearance drastically changed—even her personality had completely transformed. She couldn't connect this beast-like brutal figure with her little sister.
"Caulifla! Wait!"
Turles grabbed Caulifla as she tried to intervene, saying seriously:
"Kale will be fine. I guarantee it!"
Trusting Turles, Caulifla withdrew her right foot and continued watching the distant battle.
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!"
Agony made Six-Star Dragon scream continuously. It felt its skull about to explode. Yet Kale kept tightening her grip. Six-Star Dragon knew it must use full strength—otherwise it would perish here today.
Enduring the pain, Six-Star Dragon mobilized its mental power. Meeting Kale's eyes, it suddenly launched a mental assault.
Six-Star Dragon's mental attack caused Kale a moment's disorientation. Her body involuntarily retreated one step, her hand's grip unconsciously loosening.
Feeling the loosened grip, Six-Star Dragon didn't dare delay. It immediately struggled free from Kale's hand, then flashed repeatedly toward the distance.
"ROAR!"
Shaking her head, Kale recovered from her daze. Seeing her prey escape, she released a furious roar and chased Six-Star Dragon's retreating figure.
The Legendary Super Saiyan's characteristic—the more stimulated, the more battle power increased. After Six-Star Dragon's attack, Kale's inner rage intensified. Her battle power rose again, speed suddenly accelerating. Within seconds she'd caught up.
Sensing the approaching presence behind it, Six-Star Dragon couldn't help glancing back. Just this one look terrified it to its core.
Calculating Kale's speed, Six-Star Dragon knew escape was impossible. It suddenly braked hard, plummeting downward.
Landing on the ground, Six-Star Dragon's arms hung limply. It stared tightly upward, eyes beginning to shimmer with light.
Soon, Kale's figure appeared in its vision.
"Right now!"
The light in Six-Star Dragon's eyes blazed brightly. Then an invisible wave generated from its eyes, directly meeting Kale's gaze.
"What! Impossible!"
Six-Star Dragon—which had thought victory assured, its mouth already curving upward—suddenly changed expression dramatically.
Before it could understand why, Kale's attack struck it again.
"BOOM!"
With Six-Star Dragon as center, an intense shockwave spread outward, continuously tearing everything in its path, raising a massive mushroom cloud.
After a long time, the mushroom cloud finally dispersed, leaving only an enormous circular crater. At the crater's center—Six-Star Dragon.
Current Six-Star Dragon's body appeared broken beyond repair. Not only had it lost its tail—its right arm and lower limbs had completely vanished. No blood flowed from the wounds because Kale's attack's high temperature had already cauterized them, blocking blood flow.
Yet despite such a devastated body, Six-Star Dragon's face showed not fear about its condition—it still wore that earlier incredulous expression.
Just now, Six-Star Dragon had used mind reading on Kale, intending to predict her attacks to gain a lifeline. But when it read Kale's memories, what appeared in its mind was only rage.
No thoughts, no intelligence—like a true beast. Precisely this instant's distraction cost it the last dodging opportunity, forcing it to face Kale's intense attack head-on.
"How can such a person exist?"
Even now Six-Star Dragon couldn't understand why someone like Kale existed. Clearly an intelligent being with such powerful battle strength, yet her mental world contained only one emotion—destruction.
Among the seven Evil Dragons, each mastered a special ability approaching law-level—like Three-Star Dragon's darkness ability. Six-Star Dragon's was mental power control.
Precisely because of this, Six-Star Dragon possessed mind control and mind reading abilities. It was through mental power mastery that—without truly meeting Turles, only through an intermediary puppet—it could capture a fragment of Turles's memory.
But even so, it still found it hard to believe such Saiyans as Kale existed in this world—as if her existence served only destruction.
What Six-Star Dragon didn't know was precisely because it was too cautious and careful. After being born from the Black Star Dragon Balls, it had only holed up on this planet. Even when controlling life, it only controlled beings on this planet—and this planet's lifeforms were overall weak.
Countless races existed across the universe. Beings like out-of-control Kale definitely existed. If it had encountered them, it wouldn't be this shocked now.
But regardless of whether it believed or not, Kale had now destroyed most of it. Its aura began declining.
And after its aura declined, Kale seemed to lose interest in it. Her white eyes merely glanced at it before she shot skyward, quickly disappearing.
"She left?"
Six-Star Dragon couldn't quite believe it. It had thought it would die completely today—unexpectedly, the result was this.
Sensing Kale's aura receding, Six-Star Dragon couldn't restrain itself any longer. It burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"You seem quite pleased!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out. And after hearing this voice, the smile on Six-Star Dragon's face froze completely!
