Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1053 Baby: Lu Li, you didn't want this either...

“Mr. Lu, Baby’s true form is currently parasitizing Uncle Vegeta’s body.”

Gohan reminded him from the side.

Lu Li didn't turn around to look at Gohan, his voice cold, "I know, do you think I'm as blind as you are?"

Gohan felt embarrassed upon hearing this, because Lu Li had taught them some eye techniques that could see through the essence and directly point to the soul. In the cultivation of the Martial Arts Classic, there were also related soul methods.

In fact, if he had been attentive enough, he would have been able to tell that Bidel had already been controlled when he first saw her.

He returned home with a vacation in mind, his body and mind were relaxed, and he had no sense of vigilance at all. In addition, he had not seen his wife for a long time, so how could he refuse her passionate kiss?
As a result, he was breached from the inside by Baby, and thus became a parasite.

"Damn it... what the hell have you done!?"

Baby was sweating profusely and retreating repeatedly, instinctively feeling that he needed to be far away from Lu Li to feel safe.

Just as Lu Li's finger touched Gohan, he felt the parasitic clone he used to control Gohan disappear. This was impossible, because the parasitic clone he used to control others did not only act on the physical body, but was also used to bind the soul.

He had already discovered when he first parasitized Goten that while Saiyans had high physical stats and energy, their souls were not very strong and had many weaknesses in their defenses. That's why he was able to use his parasitic abilities to continuously control the Saiyans.

His abilities are all equipped with safety devices; once he senses that the soul is about to break free from his control, he will make the parasitic clone commit suicide.

But in that instant, he found that he had no control over Gohan at all. The parasitic clone inside Gohan's body just disappeared, as if it had been hit with precision and annihilated in an instant.

"what did I do?"

Lu Li walked forward expressionlessly, raised his hand and pointed again, striking Wukong on the head where he was trying to ambush him. The shockwave made Wukong suspend in mid-air, and then it seemed as if Wukong's soul was pulled out and then pulled back.

Because Gohan, who was behind Lu Li, was focused on the battlefield, he saw the details of this scene clearly. He noticed that the moment his father's soul was brought out, the Baby clones attached to it were burned away, and then the soul returned to its body.

In this short period of time, his father's body had been cleaned up, and Lu Li seemed to know every detail of Wukong's body.

At this moment, Lu Li pulled Wukong back from falling headfirst due to inertia, making him stand firm. He looked at Baby and said, "It's that simple. Did you see that clearly?"

Baby, of course, saw clearly what had happened. What humiliated him was that Lu Li's move to Gohan just now didn't seem to use this technique, or rather, it was much faster and completely incomprehensible.

And now Lu Li is showing him the video in slow motion, isn't that completely underestimating him?
"Damn it... Don't be so arrogant, Saiyan!"

Baby's furious roar caused Vegeta, whom he was controlling, to explode even more.

He had also controlled Beerus in the previous battle, but he couldn't make Beerus fight because Beerus was different from Vegeta and the others. Beerus was a god, and he was only parasitized because of the special circumstances at the time. But the resilience of a god's soul far exceeded Baby's imagination.

While inside the God of Destruction, Baby was nearly destroyed by Beerus's power, so he quickly withdrew from Beerus's body after the battle, only using the power of his clone to continuously suppress Beerus's actions.

However, even if Baby could control Beerus, he felt it wouldn't be as useful as Vegeta's or Goku's bodies, because Beerus's strength lay not in his physical body, but in his God of Destruction powers and fighting skills.

Baby is unable to use Ultra Instinct or Ultra Instinct, so the pure violence of the Saiyans is more suitable for him. As long as he transforms by exploding his power, he can have extremely high attributes.

When Baby pushed Vegeta's ki to its peak, he personally took action, rushing towards Lu Li and punching him in the face.

Lu Li casually retreated, dodging Baby's attack. Baby's fist missed, and the shockwave shot upwards, sweeping towards the sky and even breaking through the atmosphere, creating a gap in the distant asteroid belt.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li's figure rose slightly, and Baby followed suit with a series of attacks, being induced to attack upwards.

Lu Li dodged lightly while shaking his head, "Vegeta's skills are more than just this, I don't remember teaching you such a clumsy way of using power."

Baby was even more furious upon hearing this. "Vegeta is under my personal control. He can't possibly hear what you're saying. Face reality. Even if you can take care of all my clones, you can't save your own disciple!"

boom--

Lu Li put one hand behind his back and raised the other to catch Baby's fist. Not a single wisp of air escaped from the surrounding space; only Lu Li's pale long hair fluttered slightly backward.

"Look, this is the correct way to use power."

Lu Li stood with his hands behind his back, "Use your power against your enemies, instead of hitting thin air to destroy irrelevant things."

As he spoke, Lu Li exerted force with his palm, and amidst Baby's screams, his fist was crushed into a lump of minced meat.

"Ah—this is your disciple's body!"

Baby cried out in pain and retreated. In order to fully utilize his physical strength, he had to be in sync with Vegeta's body. Therefore, since the ten fingers are connected to the heart, when his hand was completely crushed, Baby could fully feel the fatal pain.

“Baby, right? You seem to have misunderstood something. Vegeta may be my disciple, but he is also a mature man.”

Lu Li said expressionlessly, "A man should have the courage to bear the consequences of his mistakes. Not only did he not master what I taught him, but he was also so easily controlled by someone like you. So it is only natural for a master to educate his disciple now."

As he spoke, he slightly turned his head to avoid Baby's sneak attack punch, and at the same time raised his hand to grab Baby's arm joint, twisting it again until Baby's arm was twisted into a pretzel shape.

"What? You don't even know how to repair your body?"

Looking at Baby screaming in pain, Lu Li said, "If it were Vegeta, this level of injury would be healed very quickly."

"Damn it...damn it...Saiyans!!!"

Baby roared in anger. According to the information he had received, Lu Li was also a Saiyan, and a legendary Super Saiyan at that, the same type as Broly.

Broly came to Earth with Beerus and is currently under his control as well. However, he believes that Broly's strength is incomparable to Lu Li's, even though they are both of the legendary Super Saiyan bloodline.

Because of the time difference, Broly has now fallen far behind Goku and the others, and his current strength is still far inferior to Beerus's.

Baby knew that Lu Li had Saiyan blood, so he regarded Lu Li as a hypothetical enemy from the beginning. However, he knew that Lu Li was very powerful, so he planned to wait until Lu Li's parasitic ability dominated the universe before making a move.

Who would have thought that just by digging a hole in Satan City, they would accidentally knock out Xiao Fang and the others, along with the door to the subspace?
Moreover, wasn't Lu Li supposed to be in a deep meditation, completely unaware of the outside world? He didn't even know Vegeta and the others had left, so why did Lu Li instantly emerge from meditation after Xiao Fang made such a tiny call? What the crowd didn't know was that Lu Li had always been aware of what was happening around him, but he had been in a peculiar state for years, almost at perfection, yet seemingly still lacking something.

In his state of constant jumping, he was too weak to pay attention to the people around him. He stopped when he realized that the forest he had just built was about to be completely destroyed by his power.

Lu Li knew that Goku and Vegeta had gone on vacation, but he didn't react to the outside world.

When the gate to the subspace was opened and the outside world's energy rushed in, Lu Li immediately sensed something was wrong, because the spatial coordinates had changed, and it was no longer the Temple of the Gods.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Xiao Fang's voice, and naturally, he could no longer sit there meditating, so he simply went with the flow and came out.

"Don't come here!"

Baby saw Lu Li walking in the void toward him and couldn't help but shout.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, as if he had thought of something. A powerful aura gathered around him, and his body began to swell. "If you come any closer, I'll self-destruct for you to see. Lu Li, you don't want to see your only disciple blown up like this, do you?"

"Please."

Lu Li stood there motionless, looking like he was watching a show.

"Grandpa Lu Li, no! That's my father's body!!!"

Lu Li wasn't in a hurry, but Bula below started to get anxious, thinking that Lu Li was serious.

Lu Li shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, and glanced at Bra below, "That's why you were so easily manipulated by Baby. In the worst-case scenario, you can't compromise with evil people. Just like Goku, he had the ability to resolve the situation, but he gave the enemy a weakness because he was soft-hearted. What was the result?"

Hearing Lu Li's words from below, Wukong, now fully awake, scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Lu Li, I know I was wrong. You should hurry up and find a way to solve the problem. I know you won't let Baby continue to act recklessly."

Goku truly lives up to his childlike heart; he's inexplicably perceptive when it comes to people and situations. He immediately realized that Goku didn't intend for Vegeta to die, and was just saying it to Baby.

Lu Li's words also made many people ponder: if the Dragon Balls were still readily available in this world, would Goku really have the heart to efficiently kill everyone and then revive them with the Dragon Balls?
Without the Dragon Balls and without Lu Li, what would be the best course of action for Goku in that situation?
The outcome speaks for itself: Wukong's soft heart will allow even his last remaining strength to be subdued by the enemy. It's like a vicious kidnapper holding a knife to the neck of someone you care about and demanding that you put down your weapon.

But once you lay down your weapons, both you and the people you want to save will die.

To put it another way, if Wukong couldn't think of a good solution at the time, he should have taken Xiaofang with him and used Instant Transmission to escape.

Apart from Goku, no one else can use Instant Transmission, so Baby can't catch Goku at all.

We can think of a solution once we're safe.

Moreover, given Wukong's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to seek help from the Heavenly Palace afterward.

But Wukong was entangled by a group of old friends, and he couldn't save them even though he wanted to. In the end, he ended up being parasitized.

"Do you think I'm joking!?"

Baby was furious. He overheard Wukong and Lu Li's conversation and felt that the two of them were playing a trick on him.

His body swelled even more violently. "You really think I wouldn't dare to self-destruct?!"

"please."

Lu Li still extended one hand, expressionless.

Baby froze, and her body stopped expanding.

"Why did you stop? Keep going."

Lu Li said calmly, "Didn't you say you weren't joking?"

Baby was now in a dilemma, because he really didn't dare to self-destruct. He wasn't too worried about Vegeta's body, but his own body was currently inside Vegeta's body. If he let Vegeta self-destruct, his own body would naturally suffer the most damage.

Baby's true form wasn't actually that powerful; under the self-destruction of a powerhouse like Vegeta, he would have been certain to die.

He came here to seek revenge on the Saiyans. Now, two Saiyans have already broken free of his control, and there are also Saiyans like Lu Li, Xiao Fang, and Bra, whom he has never been able to control. How can he be willing to die like this?
In the face of desperation, Baby's brain worked at lightning speed, and he suddenly smiled again, his body gradually shrinking, allowing Vegeta to return to normal.

“I’m not kidding, but I’ve changed my mind.”

Baby laughed and said, "Lu Li, I know you have a good relationship with Earthlings, and many of them are your friends. I can prevent Vegeta from self-destructing, but killing them would only take a moment."

As he spoke, the Earthlings below, who were being controlled by Baby, picked up any weapons they could find, some pointing them at each other, others at themselves, and some even tried to strangle themselves with their bare hands.

"Oh?"

Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this, but his expression remained calm.

"It seems you should understand now. This isn't Vegeta's problem. All Earthlings, including those planetary life forms I've already parasitized, are my hostages."

Baby said, "Lu Li, you call yourself a savior, are you going to watch these people you saved in the great disaster die because of you?"

"How despicable!!!"

Below, Xiaofang was furious upon hearing Baby's words, while Goku and Gohan glared at Baby as well.

"Really..."

Lu Li sighed and looked at Baby, "Can't you villains come up with something new? By the way, why do you think I'd be threatened by you? I'm a savior? Who said that? These people are going to die because of me? What kind of absurd theory is that? Isn't all the blame on you, the prisoner?"
