Ginyu nodded, ordering Burter to pilot the spaceship toward the target location.
Thirty miles away, in a Namekian village, a group of Namekians were busy with their respective affairs. Suddenly, strong wind blew overhead, and a spaceship descended from the sky, causing people on the ground to be thrown about.
"Run quickly, the Ginyu Force is coming!" Someone recognized the ship's origin and screamed in panic. The atmosphere instantly became chaotic.
The hatch door opened, and Ginyu's group jumped down from the ship.
Ginyu grinned cruelly: "Want to run? No one can escape, kill them all—!"
Jeice and the others also showed vicious expressions. They each held weapons and began shooting at the residents below indiscriminately. Green blood spurted, residents' figures fell while screaming in pain, dying with eyes wide open, there were even small children among them.
Gin's pupils shrank. Initially he thought following these people was only to collect what was called Dragon Balls, he didn't expect they would directly massacre without reason. He could see that the residents below completely had no combat power and couldn't put up meaningful resistance; they were truly like sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Captain Ginyu, our goal is only the Dragon Balls..." Gin couldn't help but speak up.
Ginyu's expression hardened. He turned to look at Gin and grinned viciously: "Gin, since when did you become so soft-hearted? You pity them?"
Ginyu's finger trembled slightly, a stream of energy gathered at his fingertip, as if he could attack at any time. Gin's heart shook; he could sense that an attack like that wouldn't be something he could withstand.
"Of course not," Gin immediately answered. "I just feel we're wasting time. If the time used to kill them was used to search for Dragon Balls, we would definitely have found them by now. After all, Lord Frieza's business is more important, no need to waste time on these people."
Ginyu's eyes gleamed, staring for quite a while. The energy at his finger slowly disappeared, then he laughed hoarsely: "Alright then, you also go there, speed up the movement. You're right, Lord Frieza's business is more important!"
While saying so, he pointed toward the residents below. Gin gritted his teeth, nodded, then shot down and directly kicked down a Namekian who was about to flee.
This was a young man whose face was full of fear. He crawled backward with trembling legs: "Don't... don't kill me, whatever you want we'll give..."
A flash of reluctance appeared on Gin's face, but he still raised his weapon and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
*SWISH!*
A laser directly penetrated that person's head. The young man's body jerked, green blood seeped out from the bullet hole, and he fell lifeless.
"Good!" Ginyu laughed heartily. "Finish them all! Find the Dragon Ball! Speed up your movements, if you hinder Lord Frieza's business, I won't forgive you!"
Gin followed the others searching inside the village. The village wasn't large. Soon, based on radar guidance, Jeice came out of a house carrying a large shining golden ball. He looked very happy: "Lord Ginyu, we found it! This is the five-star Dragon Ball!"
"Good!" Ginyu nodded and waved: "To the next location!"
The group boarded the ship again. The ship's underside spewed fire and disappeared to the horizon, only leaving piles of corpses on the ground.

Outside World.
People watching this scene instantly felt angry.
[Netizen 1: "These people are too psychopathic! Just to search for one item, they massacred an entire village?"]
[Netizen 2: "That person earlier seems to be a trial participant too, but he instead joined in massacring innocent villagers. Truly has no humanity!"]
[Netizen 3: "You're too naive. Apart from the fact they're only characters in the trial, in that situation if he didn't move, he himself would definitely be eliminated. Shut up, you self-righteous person!"]
[Netizen 4: "Indeed true, but why do I feel these people seem truly alive, not at all appearing like virtually created characters?"]
[Netizen 5: "This only proves that that mysterious Gold List's First Place is too terrifying. Creating a world and life that's so real all at once. Extraordinary, truly worthy of standing alongside the Gold List."]
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Planet Namek.
At the same time, somewhere on Planet Namek. A spaceship penetrated the atmosphere and landed. The hatch door opened, and a shadowy figure slowly emerged. His body was sturdy, with black hair standing upright—a unique hairstyle.
"Finally arrived... not easy. Wonder how Krillin, Gohan, and the others are doing?"
Son Goku closed his eyes to sense energy, searching for the presence of Krillin and Gohan's Ki. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Found them! But their current situation... seems very dangerous!"
Goku's face changed. His body suddenly shot into the air and flew rapidly in one direction.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Gin frowned looking toward the center of the arena. Jeice was fighting with two figures. Both figures were short in stature, one was even still a child. Both were already covered in wounds and absolutely weren't Jeice's match.
"How dare you compete for Dragon Balls with us, truly seeking death!" Jeice laughed coldly while continuing to attack, making Krillin repeatedly slammed into mountain rocks and ground until vomiting blood.
"Gohan, run quickly—!" Krillin shouted loudly, wanting Gohan to flee from here.
Gohan ran toward Jeice while crying, he was unwilling to leave Krillin behind.
*THUD!*
Gohan's small body was struck hard by Ginyu who suddenly appeared. He fell to the ground like a meteor, vomiting fresh blood and becoming very weak.
"Gohan!" Krillin's eyes reddened with anger, he screamed hysterically, but he himself was also struck hard by Jeice. Several of his ribs directly broke, blood mixed with organ fragments spurted from his mouth. He completely lost fighting ability.
"Will I die?" Krillin's eyes began to have difficulty opening, his view of Gohan also began to blur.
"Gin, go and finish those two brats!" Ginyu ordered flatly.
Gin felt reluctant. He always felt that everything wasn't that simple, instinctively he felt something would happen.
"Go quickly, what are you waiting for by slacking!" Ginyu began to be dissatisfied.
Gin was forced to steel his heart and walk toward the two of them. Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed. They turned toward the sky. Visible was a stream of light splitting space and shooting rapidly toward them, reaching the air above them in an instant.
"This Ki..." Krillin and Gohan's faces appeared happy. They looked up together at the sky.
A shadowy figure floated in the air, looking down without expression, but in his eyes was infinite fire of anger.
"Papa!"
"Goku, you finally came too..." Krillin forced a slight smile. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted; he knew that once Goku came, he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
