Chapter 1050 The Parasitized People
Xiaofang struggled to move forward in the sewer, the events of the past two weeks still vivid in her mind.

The incident stemmed from the fact that Bulma's family company had developed new models of spaceships in recent years, making interstellar travel accessible to ordinary wealthy families.

After the cosmic catastrophe eighteen years ago, people on Earth also learned that many other civilizations were hidden in this vast universe.

Even after space travel projects became popular, some people still purchased Bulma's spaceships in hopes of making money in interstellar space.

After all, rare metals on Earth are limited, but they might be found on other planets.

Moreover, interstellar trade can be profitable; bringing back specialties from other planets to Earth can often multiply their value many times over.

Gold is a precious metal on other planets as well, because it has extremely high industrial value and is generally rare in the universe. Therefore, interstellar trade once caused the price of gold on Earth to rise to an exaggerated level.

However, even if they exchange gold at high prices on Earth, they can still make a fortune by going to other planets to buy rare items that don't exist on Earth.

And so, humanity on Earth embarked on an era of interstellar adventure. Bulma's family's spaceships flew everywhere, and the people in this world showed no regard for the Dark Forest Theory.

It was mainly thanks to Lu Li that several criminal groups were destroyed in succession back then, and the strongest Frieza army in the universe was also wiped out. Since then, the universe has entered a short period of peace, and at least no large-scale criminal organizations have been active in the Star Sea.

In this context, spaceships from Earth flew to various parts of the universe and made contact with many civilizations.

Once Earth begins to connect with extraterrestrial civilizations, it will inevitably spread its message. For example, some Earthlings, in order to demonstrate Earth's strength to some less friendly planets they are making their first contact with, will say that Earth has powerful warriors.

Some people, in an effort to strengthen their argument, brought up videos of past battles on Earth, including footage of Goku and his friends teaming up to fight Cell and battling Majin Buu.

Originally, this wouldn't have been a big deal. At most, if alien civilizations saw it, they would think it was indeed quite powerful, and they wouldn't have any thoughts of invasion, so trade would begin peacefully.

However, some races in the universe do not think this way. For example, Baby, a parasitic creature created by a certain Tuffle, inherited the will of the Tuffle. After learning that there were still Saiyans alive in the universe, his desire for revenge drove him to Earth.

What Xiaofang didn't know was that in a world without the intervention of explorers, in a certain time and space, she would embark on a cosmic adventure with her grandfather and encounter Dr. Mu, who 'created' Baby.

The reason "created" is in quotes is that, strictly speaking, Dr. Mun did not create Baby; Dr. Mun was merely a tool to improve Baby.

Before Baby killed Dr. Myo, Baby said, "You are just an M2 robot that I created to complete myself." This shows that Baby had consciousness and abilities very early on, but they were not yet perfect and needed an "activation device" to mature.

This feeling is similar to the silicon-based life initiation theory that has emerged on Earth in recent years with the development of technology. Many researchers, including those at Bulma Corporation, have begun to doubt that human carbon-based life is merely a trigger for creating silicon-based life.

Once humanity creates true artificial intelligence silicon-based life, then humanity will be destroyed by silicon-based life, and the work of launching the system will be completed.

Xiaofang didn't know the details of Baby's arrival on Earth. She only knew that on the day Baby arrived, he killed Uncle Goten, who was on vacation, and then killed Trunks.

Thinking back now, Xiaofang still feels a bit angry, because Uncle Wutian was such a jerk.

He had been diligently cultivating with his grandfather and the others, but he couldn't stand the loneliness of cultivating in the subspace, so he would often go out to pick up girls.

Xiao Fang has met more than a dozen aunties, and she can hardly imagine how many girls Goten has actually pursued. On the day Baby arrived on Earth, Uncle Goten actually fought wildly in order to show off in front of the girls.

As a result of this commotion, a major incident occurred.

Xiaofang is also a Saiyan and has undergone some training, so she is by no means weak. She can tell that Baby's original body as a parasitic organism is not strong.

But Goten was too careless. He was showing off while fighting, and ended up getting a cut, which gave Baby the opportunity to parasitize him.

This is bad news. As a parasitic life form, Baby's parasitic mechanism seems to be quite special. After parasitizing, he can relatively perfectly exert the strength of that body.

After acquiring Goten's body, Baby ascended to the top in one step, directly gaining the power of a Super Saiyan, and from then on, he no longer needed to try to break through Goten's defenses in battle.

Sure enough, Trunks, who rushed over to help, was injured by his good friend Goten before he could even figure out what was going on. The final result was predictable: the hesitant Trunks was also controlled by the parasite.

Xiaofang witnessed the whole thing because Goten asked her to be his wingman that day. That's why she was so angry, because she had already warned Trunks loudly, but Trunks still hesitated and caused the accident.

However, it's not entirely their fault. After all, Trunks and Goten grew up in a relatively peaceful environment and didn't experience any particularly brutal battles. Their biggest battles in life were just playing around with Majin Buu.

So even though they trained and became much stronger by following Wukong and the others, they still didn't have the ability to make decisions in brutal battles.

Pan was quite clever. Although she was grazed by Goten's ki blast, she escaped into the underground drainage system under the cover of Trunks before he was controlled. Baby, who had just acquired Goten and the others' bodies, couldn't sense ki yet, which allowed her to escape unscathed.

However, because she had only trained a little with Piccolo, and couldn't even transform into a Super Saiyan, she was nearly killed by a ki blast and remained unconscious in the sewers for over a week before waking up.

By the time Xiao Fang woke up and thought about going to the Heavenly Temple to inform Wukong or Grandpa Lu to come out of seclusion, it was already too late.

She landed on the ground and discovered that all of humanity on Earth had been controlled. Just as she was feeling bewildered, she saw a massive explosion occur in the direction of Bulma's city.

She immediately used her Flying Technique to stumble and fly over, only to see her grandfather Goku battling Vegeta.

It turns out that during the time she was unconscious, coincidentally, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan also emerged from their seclusion, wanting to go home to rest and reunite with their families.

As a result, Vegeta returned home before he realized anything was wrong, and was then parasitized by Bulma, who was controlled by Baby.

Well, the gentle embrace of a hero is a recipe for disaster. Everyone knows that Vegeta dotes on his wife, but who knows what new tricks Baby has been playing on Bulma for Vegeta.

Vegeta was caught off guard and fell into the trap before he even realized something was wrong; he was already under the parasite's control. The situation wasn't much different for Pan's father, Gohan; Videl controlled him with a single loving kiss.

but!

Xiao Fang's own grandfather, our Wukong, will never fall for this!
While Vegeta and Gohan were both falling for Chi-Chi's charms, Goku wasn't thinking about it at all. So he defended himself against Chi-Chi's gentle advances.

Furthermore, Goku expressed that he found Chi-Chi's behavior strange and sensed that something was wrong.

Xiaofang could understand her grandfather's mindset, and at the same time, she felt sorry for her grandmother to some extent. It was really unfair for her grandmother to live with such a dull grandfather.

Fortunately, Goku's blockhead personality made him immune to Chi-Chi's attacks, and after subduing Chi-Chi, he noticed something was wrong.

Goku felt he wasn't very smart, so he went to Vegeta's house to discuss what to do.

As a result, Vegeta was taken care of by Bulma less than an hour after he got home, which left Goku feeling helpless and eventually led to a great battle between him and Vegeta.

When Xiaofang arrived at the scene, she found that many familiar faces had gathered there, all of whom were uncles, aunts, sisters, or younger sisters who had a close relationship with her family in the past.

This included her parents. When she first saw Gohan and Videl, she was happy, but before she could run a few steps towards them, she was frightened by their strange and cold gazes and quickly distanced herself.

Gohan, with an evil smile on his face, immediately attacked Pan.

If Wukong, who was fighting above, hadn't seen this scene and intervened in time, Xiaofang would have been possessed or killed.

However, because he was distracted by rescuing Pan, Goku, who originally had some advantage over Vegeta, was instantly caught off guard and injured.

At this point, Goku had not yet been parasitized, because after years of training, Goku and Vegeta had already begun to understand the mysteries of immortality and had also gained a deep understanding of the human body's potential for recovery.

Therefore, even without the help of Senzu Beans, Goku and Vegeta can now regenerate at super speed like Piccolo, allowing their wounds to heal completely.

Therefore, Vegeta was not parasitized because of a wound; he was parasitized by Baby from Bulma's side through other vulnerabilities in his body.

Goku healed his wounds at the speed of light during the battle, preventing Baby from parasitizing him, and the battle resumed.

Because Baby couldn't fully inherit Vegeta's fighting skills, he was actually completely outmatched by the current Goku. But the problem is that fighting Baby isn't a matter of strength.

In terms of pure strength, Goku believed he could easily defeat everyone on Earth who was possessed by Baby, because Baby's versions of Vegeta and Gohan were no match for him.

But could Goku really kill all of them? He simply couldn't bring himself to do it, because Goku knew in his heart that there were no more Dragon Balls in the world that he could use at will.

Since Lu Li's pet beast Ah Huo returned, they have never used Ah Huo's power to make a wish. In addition, Lu Li had previously said that Ah Huo's power was incomplete, and Wukong was not sure if Ah Huo could restore the Earth and revive the people he had killed.

Furthermore, seeing all those familiar faces, even if he could truly be resurrected, Goku would instinctively hold back.

When Baby noticed Goku's hesitation, he shamelessly brought in a group of Goku's friends and family to attack, especially by placing the weaker ones in front, making it difficult for Goku to unleash his full power.

Seeing this scene, Xiaofang felt utterly hopeless and didn't know what to do. This was no longer a matter of fighting strength.

Even if they could beat Baby, how could they bring their loved ones back?

Because Pan is Goku's granddaughter, Baby thought she would be a good bargaining chip, so during the battle, he assigned Gohan to capture Pan.

Xiao Fang was already injured and was powerless to resist her powerful father. It was Wukong who knew how to love his granddaughter and bravely withstood the attacks of many people to cover Xiao Fang's retreat.

However, Goku eventually revealed a weakness during the siege, and Vegeta seized the opportunity to launch a series of attacks, ultimately leading to Goku being parasitized from his enlarged wound.

Just when Xiaofang was in despair and thought there was nowhere to escape, a robot's hand reached out from the ruins and pulled her underground. It was the robot controlled by Bula.

It turns out that before her mother Bulma was parasitized, Bra had already been researching with Bulma how to get rid of Baby's parasite. So, before Baby's parasite army attacked, Bulma covered the rear and sent Bra away.

That's why Bula was lucky enough not to be parasitized; perhaps she and Xiaofang are the only two humans on Earth who haven't been parasitized.

And so, Bra and Xiao Fang began their life of hiding and fleeing. They wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Temple of Gods, but the road and airspace leading to the Temple of Gods were monitored by Baby, and they couldn't get through at all.

Clearly, Baby was able to acquire some of the memories after parasitizing a human. Baby knew that there were terrifyingly powerful beings hidden in the subspace of the Celestial Temple, and Baby did not want to face stronger enemies before consolidating his foundation.

Although Baby herself did not experience the cosmic catastrophe that occurred more than a decade ago, Dr. Miao recorded some information about it. Just by reading the information, Baby knew that Lu Li was very powerful and not someone to be trifled with.

So Baby simply parasitized the people in the Temple of Gods, keeping a close watch on the door to that subspace to prevent anyone from going in and reporting.

This left Xiaofang and Bula with no opportunity. They had considered contacting powerful beings in the universe for help, but they had also witnessed firsthand how alien races that came to Earth for trade were all parasitized by Baby.

By parasitizing those aliens and sending them back to their own planets, Baby spread like a virus, eventually gaining control of many planets.

Such an abnormal spread of pollution into civilization would naturally attract the attention of those above. Moreover, before being parasitized, Goku had tried to contact King Kai and report what was happening on Earth to him.
