Chapter 150 "What?!" Likoom, the most "mischievous" member of the Special Forces Team, immediately turned to look at Lu Bu upon hearing this, furrowing his brow and asking, "You? Based on what?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed the battle power detector on the side of his head a couple of times. (Before they set off, they had all gone to the spaceship to retrieve new detectors and put them on, and they had turned off the automatic search mode, so they could avoid the detectors exploding due to a target at an extremely long distance.)

*Beep beep beep*—

Lu Bu's battle power quickly displayed on Likoom's detector. The latter laughed heartily upon seeing it: "Ha! Hahahaha... A battle power of only 15,000, and you dare to brazenly claim you took down Saibaman?"

"Trash, if you know what's good for you, get out of my way." Lu Bu looked at Likoom with disdain. "This great one's target is Orochi; I don't want to waste time on you lot of rabble."

"What did you say?" Likoom glared at Lu Bu upon hearing that. "Are you courting death! You bas..."

"Hold on... Likoom." At this moment, Ginyu waved his hand, interrupting Likoom's words. "The way he looks... he seems serious." He paused for a moment, reminding him, "Don't be too careless... Remember, these guys' battle powers might not be fixed." Even so, there wasn't a trace of apprehension towards Lu Bu on Ginyu's face; he still looked very confident.

"Oh? Is that so?" Likoom clenched one fist and punched it into the palm of his other hand. "Then perfect, let me test his strength..."

"Lu Bu, and the others... you go first." At that moment, two figures suddenly stepped forward, standing between the Ginyu Force and the crowd. One of them said, "These five guys, just leave them to us."

As soon as he said this, everyone's attention naturally focused on the two figures.

Both of them were burly and fierce-looking individuals.

The one who spoke just now was none other than Rugal Bernstein.

And the man who stood out with him... his face was like that of a demon, his eyes flashed with a red light, his body resembled that of a Luohan (an enlightened disciple of the Buddha), and his muscles were knotted; he wore a head of red hair shaped like a lotus, with a tuft tied into a braid pointing to the sky; he wore a set of dark blue karate uniform, whose sleeves had been torn off, with the corners tattered; he wore a string of large Buddhist beads around his neck, a thick hemp rope tied around his waist, hemp ropes wrapped around his fists, and no shoes on his feet.

This man was called Gouki (Akuma). He was an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, known as the "Fist of the Demon God Slaughter," and also known as the "Ultimate of the Fist."

He was the heir to the assassination fist fighting style, possessed the violent "Satsui no Hado" (Surge of Murderous Intent), and held a nearly unprincipled and insane pursuit of the "limits of martial arts."

"Hmph... this is rare." Lu Bu glanced at the two, then revealed a strange smile, and then looked at the five members of the Special Forces Team. "Very well... I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, he put away his halberd, bypassed the five members of the Special Forces Team, and ran forward.

"Wait! Who allowed you to..." Likoom naturally wouldn't let Lu Bu go just because those two inexplicable guys had said something. He wanted to chase after him.

But at that moment...

*Boom*—

A purple ki blast came whistling, as fast as a gust of wind and as powerful as a rockslide.

Likoom's attention was focused on Lu Bu, and he was distracted for a moment, and was hit in the back by this move.

"Guh..." After being hit, Likoom groaned in pain, staggering and nearly falling. "Wha... what..."

As he muttered, he looked back in the direction from which the ki blast had come. The battle power detector showed that Gouki, who launched the attack... only had a battle power of 13,000, which was even lower than Lu Bu's; but the [Zankuu Hadouken] (Air Gou-Hadoken) just now had actually inflicted a slight injury on Likoom, the number two figure in the Ginyu Special Forces Team with a battle power of around 50,000, which made Likoom very puzzled.

"Oh?" Ginyu's expression changed slightly when he saw this, but his composure remained. "I see... are you all types whose battle power can change... No wonder Saibaman was killed." He muttered thoughtfully, then snorted coldly and said to Likoom, "Hmph... Likoom, just let them go..."

"But... Captain..." Likoom still seemed unwilling to give up.

So, Ginyu glared at him again. This one look made Likoom shrink back.

After all, Ginyu was a man with a battle power of 120,000, and his battle power... was also variable. Therefore, everyone (from the time node when the Ginyu Special Forces Team first appeared in the *Dragon Ball* universe), including himself, believed that he was the "second strongest in the universe" warrior, second only to Frieza. In the Special Forces Team, Ginyu was undoubtedly a very prestigious figure.

"Ugh... alright..." Likoom glanced at Lu Bu's back with a sullen expression. "Since Captain, you've said so..." He turned around helplessly, giving up the idea of chasing after him.

While they were talking, the others of the Super-Dimensional Army also followed Lu Bu's footsteps, rushing past from both sides.

The five members of the Special Forces Team did not make any move to stop them.

Ginyu's idea was: there was no need to impatiently kill everyone they met, because Frieza's order was "to scout north," not "to kill everyone there." Taking a step back... what could these people do even if they went to the martial arts arena? Anyway, they would meet Frieza and die all the same.

*Beep beep beep*—

"Captain..." A few seconds later, Jeice, the most devoted believer in battle power detectors in the Special Forces Team, pressed the instrument in front of him a couple of times and said to Ginyu with a look of disdain, "Are you really going to play with these two guys whose combined battle power is less than 30,000?"

"Hmph..." Ginyu snorted coldly, not answering Jeice's question, but looking at Rugal and Gouki and saying, "You two... I can see that you've decided to stay behind and fight to the death so that your companions can pass through. However, I still want to advise you... forget it." He spread his arms and said with a smile, "There are five of us here; in terms of battle power, the sum of ours is almost ten times that of you two. You don't even need to fight to know the result."

Unexpectedly, Ginyu didn't seem to intend to fight them, but chose to negotiate. "We... don't have a reason to fight to the death..." He pointed to the two of them behind, "How about this... as long as you tell me what exactly happened over there earlier, we'll let you leave."

"Hmph hmph... hahaha... hahahaha..." After listening to Ginyu's words, Rugal and Gouki actually grinned at the same time.

"Hmm?" Seeing this, the smile on Ginyu's face disappeared instead, and he asked with a slightly angry tone, "What's so funny?"

"You're overthinking it..." Gouki replied in a deep voice.

Rugal laughed and said, "The reason why we stood out is just because... we don't want to share the prey with others."

"What?!" The five members of the Special Forces Team reacted with surprising consistency this time.

"Tch... two trash who don't know how to live or die, still being so arrogant when death is imminent..." Likoom muttered viciously.

"Hmph..." Jeice also continued, "It's a waste of words... These frogs in a well run rampant on their own planet and think they're invincible in the universe. Without battle power detectors, they won't understand how powerful we warriors with battle powers far exceeding theirs really are until they're taught a lesson..."

"Sigh... there's no way." This time, even Ginyu lost his patience. He looked at the shortest dwarf in the Special Forces Team and said, "Guldo, let you go and play with them."

Upon hearing this, Guldo blinked his four eyes, revealing a sinister smile: "Heh heh... okay, leave it to me! Captain."

After saying that, Guldo jumped forward and stood in front of Rugal and Gouki.

"Prepare to die! You two trash!" Although Guldo was small and ugly, and his battle power was the weakest in the Special Forces Team (less than 12,000), his attitude towards outsiders was quite arrogant.

"Burter..." After Guldo stepped forward, Ginyu whispered to Burter beside him, "In case Guldo is in any danger, go up and help him..."

"Understood, Captain." Burter also replied in a low voice.

It was not difficult to see from their words and deeds... that Guldo was really weak (relative to the other members of the Special Forces Team). However, he was able to gain a place in the Ginyu Special Forces Team for a reason. Although his battle power was not very good, he had many very sharp superpowers, and he could win even against opponents with higher battle powers than himself by relying on his abilities.

"Hoi~ Hoi~" Guldo stood in front of Rugal and Gouki, two fierce men several times taller than himself, without any timidity, and was still twisting his barrel waist and swaying his five-short body to warm up, as if mocking the other party.

"Gouki." Rugal didn't even look at Guldo and directly turned his head to Gouki and said, "Those guys behind (referring to the Super-Dimensional Army who were still entangled with Qitian Di)... won't catch up for too long, and then there will be complications..." His eyes sharpened, "I think... let's make a quick decision."

"Hmm..." Gouki pondered, "Okay, let's move!"

Before he finished speaking, Rugal and Gouki suddenly stood side by side, each exploding their fighting spirit.

*Beep beep beep*—

"Hmm?" Jeice's expression changed as he looked at the data fed back on the detector. "What! Th... thirty-nine thousand..."

"Hey... I'm not seeing things, am I..." Burter said to Jeice beside him (the two were partners, and their battle powers were both around 40,000), "Isn't this about the same as our battle power?"

Likoom and Guldo also showed surprised expressions when they saw this change.

"Hmm... being able to greatly increase battle power without transforming..." Only Ginyu was still calm, thinking to himself, "... increased by three times. But... this still cannot pose any threat to us."

However, what happened next immediately refreshed his worldview...

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

At this moment, Rugal and Gouki each shouted, raised their arms and stretched them out to the side of their bodies.

Then, they slightly bent their legs, took small steps, approached each other quickly, and drew a semicircle with their arms, over the top of their heads, and placed them on the other side of their bodies.

While doing this action, they began to chant: "Fu—" (Fuse)

When the two approached a distance of about one meter, they each bent one leg, stood on one foot, made a golden rooster stand on one leg, and once again put their arms back to the "outside."

Then, they made a bow step towards each other, their upper bodies bent to the side, and each stretched out an index finger.

Finally, the two touched four fingers together and shouted a word "Sion!"

Throughout the process, the postures, movements, and even the breath of the two were completely synchronized. Standing on the opposite side to observe was like watching a mirror.

This move... was undoubtedly the legendary [Fusion].

As long as two warriors with similar builds and not too different battle powers raised their qi to almost the same state, and then made this special and embarrassing start-up pose, they could obtain a temporary fusion effect.

And the "two-in-one" warrior born from the fusion would have an explosive increase in battle power.

…………

Here, let me say something off-topic. In the Cvs (i.e. *CAPCOM vs. SNK*) series, there are two super-strong characters who can be called Bt. One is "Shin Akuma," who absorbed Orochi's power from Rugal, and the other is "God Rugal," who was born from absorbing the Satsui no Hado.

The fusion warrior in front of him was equivalent to a monster that was created after stacking the various abilities of these two characters by four dimensions...

…………

The moment Gougal (here, the first half of Gouki's name, Gou, and the second half of Rugal's name, gal, are combined to form Gougal) appeared, his fighting spirit soared into the sky, directly piercing the clouds.

*Beep beep beep beep*—

The battle power detectors of the five members of the Ginyu Special Forces Team all made buzzing sounds, and the soaring numbers on the lenses made them all pale in fright.

"F... four... four hundred thousand... four hundred and fifty thousand... five hundred thousand... five hundred and eighty thousand..." Jeice stammered a few times following the numbers, and stopped talking until the value exceeded six hundred thousand.

About ten seconds later, the light on Gougal's body dissipated, and the fighting spirit entered a saturated and stable state. At this time... his battle power stopped growing and settled at the number 2400000.

"Wh... what's going on..." Burter, who was tall and burly, said tremblingly, "It must be a mechanical failure... this is impossible!"

"Yes... y... yes!" Jeice continued, "This guy has been mystifying for a long time, but he's actually using some kind of illusion... or using a special ability to interfere with the battle power detector." He recited two lines of self-deception, then forced a few laughs, looked at Gougal and said, "Heh... hehe... don't think you can fool us! This trick won't scare us!"

"Hmph..." Gougal crossed his arms and stood on the spot, snorting coldly, and two overlapping voices came from his mouth: "A bunch of ignorant frogs in a well, running rampant in their own universe and thinking they are invincible." He returned Jeice's previous words, "You who only know how to rely on the so-called 'battle power detector'... will never understand how powerful we really are."

While speaking, Gougal's eyes moved slightly and fixed his gaze on Guldo.

"Eek—eek!" Guldo, who had been very arrogant just now, became like a toad stared at by a snake at this moment, stiff in place, not daring to move at all.

"Then... let's start with you." Gougal said, turning his body sideways, retracting his arms, putting the palms of his hands together, and putting on a posture, "God. Hadoken!"
