Miko stood over the unconscious soldiers. He didn't kill them—not yet. He needed information, and more importantly, and to get information he needs them by his side, for now or else he would have simple tossed them into the trash like the worthless garbage they are.
"System, if I'm going to conquer this planet , I need to be efficient. What's the fastest way to hit a Power Level of 5,000?"
[Ding!]
[Quest Updated: Tyrant or Savior?]
[Option A: The Tyrant Path. Eradicate all life forms on Planet 402. Reward: Massive Ki boost, 'Cold-Blooded' Title.]
[Option B: The Ruler Path. Subjugate the King Lizards and the local tribes. Build a base of operations. Reward: Passive XP gain, 'Planet Lord' Title.]
Miko smirked. "I was never good at following orders. Frieza wants this planet 'cleansed' so he can sell it and I want it cleansed so I can grow stronger we both win no loser no losses and best part he dosent find out about anything."
He grabbed the purple alien by the collar and slapped him awake.
"Wake up, four-eyes. We're going for a walk."
"W-where?" the alien stammered, his broken wrist hanging limp.
"To the center of this planet. You said there's a King Lizard with a Power Level of 4,500, right? I want to meet him. And you're going to be my scouter."
"Yeah I know I cant beat that king now I just want to see my level against him currently then Iwould be able to plan how to continue the mission from there like they say know your enemies better than your friends"
"You're insane! Even with your freakish strength, the Great King of this world has an army! You're just one brat! you clearly cant defeat him what gave you gut to think you alone can end his entire army."
Miko didn't answer. He simply looked up at the blue sun. He could feel the solar energy saturating his bones, turning his marrow into a dense, glowing gold. His Saiyan cells were screaming for the fight, while his Kryptonian cells provided the infinite stamina to keep going.
[Current Power Level: 2,350 (Rising...)]
"One year?" Miko laughed, his voice echoing off the canyon walls. "thats all I have for this mission and am gonna make the king die by my own two hands."
Miko hauled the purple alien, whose name he learned was Lott, toward the second pod. He kicked the door open and tossed Lott inside like a sack of potatoes, followed by the unconscious reptilian brute.
"You're going to fix your wrist, grab every med-pack in this ship, and then you're going to pilot us toward the central continent, got it I dont want any mistakes happening" Miko commanded, his voice cold and leaving no room for argument.
"But... the scouter signal! If we move too fast, the Ginyu Force trackers might—"
"I don't care about trackers," Miko interrupted, leaning in so close that Lott could see the emerald sparks dancing in his pupils. "If I see a single blinking red light on that console that I didn't authorize, I'll rip your four eyes out and make you swallow them. Am I clear?, or do you think am dumb remove the stupid trackers they are not needed at all or when did you start using trackers to fly?"
Lott nodded vigorously, trembling as he began punching coordinates into the holographic map.
As the ship soared over the jagged mountain ranges of Planet 402, Miko stood by the viewport. He wasn't watching the scenery; he was staring at the Blue Sun. He felt like a sponge in the middle of an ocean. Every photon hitting his skin was being converted into raw, violent potential.
"System," he whispered. "Analyze the King Lizard's army. If I can't take them all at once, I need to know the hierarchy."
[Ding!]
[Scanning Planetary Life-Sign Density...]
[The 'Great King' commands a Royal Guard of twelve Elites (PL: 1,500 - 2,000 each).]
[The Horde consists of over 10,000 soldiers (PL: 300 - 800).]
Miko's smirk deepened. "Ten thousand? That's not an army. That's ten thousand Zenkai boosts waiting to happen."
"We're approaching the Forbidden Zone," Lott called out, his voice cracking. "The scouter is picking up a massive reading... it's him. The Great King. 4,600... no, 4,700! He's grown since the last report!"
[Current Power Level: 2,500 (Rising...)]
Miko felt the gap. He was nearly 2,000 points behind. In the world of Dragon Ball, that was usually the difference between life and death. But he had the Kryptonian stamina. He could fight for days without his muscles fatiguing, while the lizard would eventually tire.
The ship hovered over a massive stone ziggurat carved into the side of a volcano. Thousands of lizards swarmed the base, their scales clinking like armor. In the center sat a beast that dwarfed the King Lizard Miko had killed earlier. It was bone-white, with four horns and eyes that burned with a primitive intelligence.
"Open the hatch," Miko said.
"What?! We're at ten thousand feet!"
"I said open it."
The air hissed as the door slid back. The roar of the volcanic winds filled the cabin. Miko didn't hesitate; he stepped out into the empty air.
He didn't fall at all instead he was hovering in the air, testing his Flight skill, before plummeting like a green meteor straight toward the ziggurat.
BOOM!
He landed in the center of the sacrificial altar, right in front of the Great King. The shockwave cracked the stone, sending guards flying in every direction.
The Great King rose, a low growl vibrating in its throat that made the very air shake. It looked down at the tiny Saiyan child with utter contempt.
Miko looked back, his blood boiling with a mix of Saiyan pride and solar-powered arrogance. He didn't come here to kill no he came here to see what he is up against.
"So, you're the one,the king of this planet isn't that right" Miko said, his voice amplified by Ki so every lizard in the valley could hear him. "I'm Miko. I've been given a year to kill everything on this planet."
He pointed a finger directly at the Great King's snout.
"I'm going to spend the next few weeks killing your entire army, eating your food, and growing stronger. When I'm ready, I'm coming for your head. Tell your 'army' to stay awake. It makes the hunt more fun. Dont disappoint me at all"
The Great King roared, a sound of pure fury, and lunged with a claw that could crush a tank. Miko used his speed to dodge the blow, appearing ten feet in the air as the claw shattered the altar where he had just stood.
"First lesson," Miko laughed, his body glowing with a brilliant green aura. "Catch me if you can!"
He shot back toward the ship, leaving the entire army screaming in rage behind him.
