Cherreads

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Ginyu Force

"Wahaha! Boss, you're incredible! That so-called Oxley is weak as hell! Hahaha—Giddy up!" The strategist, still riding on Taurus's back, cheered loudly, even turning to stick his tongue out at Oxley in mockery. Oxley's face darkened with anger.

With reckless speed, Taurus charged forward, crashing through anything in his path. In the end, he won the competition with a two-out-of-three victory, securing his win in the duel.

Oxley, however, was far from convinced. How the hell was his fire ox supposed to outrun a guy who was literally being used as a Mount?! And wasn't this supposed to be a Mount race? Since when was riding a person considered fair play?!

As for Bella, she was utterly horrified. Marrying this idiot?! She'd rather die! Even her grandfather, the village chief, looked down on Taurus. Sure, his raw strength was unmatched, but his brain? Practically nonexistent. And it wasn't just that he was dim-witted—his sheer level of stupidity was in a league of its own! Who in their right mind would respect such a fool?

And yet… the old chieftain hesitated. Taurus's strength was undeniable, and if he went back on his word, knowing Taurus's unpredictable personality, the idiot might tear the entire village apart in a fit of rage!

As the chieftain debated his options, Taurus had already made his way over to Bella. Drooling slightly, he grinned. "Bella, your boobs are huge! Just looking at them gets me all fired up! I can't hold back—let me touch them!"

"G-Get away from me, you pervert!" Bella shrieked, backing away in fear. Her voice was soft and delicate, like a shy maiden… but the fact that it was coming from a nearly seven-foot-tall minotaur woman made the scene utterly bizarre.

To human eyes, Bella might not be much to look at, but to minotaurs? She was considered an absolute goddess.

Meanwhile…

Watching from a distant cliff, Goku's female companions turned to look at him.

Goku immediately scowled. "What are you all staring at me for? Don't compare me to that idiot! I'm way more refined and cultured!"

The girls all rolled their eyes in unison. "Refined? Cultured?"

Before Goku could argue further, his expression suddenly shifted. He frowned, staring up at the sky.

"What's wrong, Goku?" Saeko asked, noticing his change in demeanor.

"There are others arriving on this planet," Goku said, his voice calm yet sharp. "Five of them… and their power levels are actually pretty strong."

The girls quickly turned their gazes to the sky.

"Aliens?"

Moments later, five round-shaped spaceships broke through the atmosphere, streaking toward the ground like meteors. They looked similar to Goku's spaceship but were noticeably smaller.

"Hey, Goku, those ships look just like yours!" Saeko remarked. "Could they be from your home planet?"

After recovering his childhood pod, Goku had already told the girls about his Saiyan heritage, so their question was a natural one.

Goku frowned slightly. "Probably not… but I might know who they are."

The five ships hurtled toward the ground at high speed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With five consecutive explosions, the spaceships crashed into the planet, leaving behind massive craters over a hundred meters wide.

Their dramatic arrival naturally attracted plenty of attention.

"Whoa! A meteor just fell!"

"Meteor my ass! That's a spaceship!"

"Chief!"

"Should we go check it out? It's been ages since any aliens visited our planet."

"Boss, are we going too?"

"Of course! Grab your weapons! If they turn out to be bad guys, we'll take 'em down!"

A large group of minotaurs, led by the village warriors, marched toward the landing site.

"Should we check it out too, Goku?" Saeko asked.

"No need. Let's just observe from here," Goku replied calmly.

When the minotaurs arrived, the hatches of the spaceships slowly opened, and five figures emerged.

The old chieftain stepped forward, his expression serious. "Welcome to Planet Kada. This is Brazenhoof Village, and I am Chieftain Tara. May I ask what brings you to our world?"

The five figures immediately struck ridiculous battle poses.

"Recoome!"

"Burter!"

"Jeice!"

"Guldo!"

"Captain Ginyu!"

Together, they all shouted in unison: "Ginyu Force, Assemble!"

A dead silence fell over the minotaurs. A chilling breeze seemed to sweep through the air.

The minotaurs all exchanged glances and began whispering amongst themselves.

"…I always thought Taurus was the dumbest guy around, but I guess there are even bigger idiots out there."

"Yeah, I never imagined anyone could match his level of stupidity!"

"So even aliens have dumbasses too, huh…"

Goku, watching from afar, facepalmed. "The Ginyu Force… I should've known. What a 'wonderful' surprise."

The Ginyu Force, noticing the minotaurs' lack of enthusiasm, immediately became irritated.

Burter scanned the crowd with his scouter and sneered. "The highest power level here is only 19,000? What a joke. And yet, you dare look down on us?!"

Ginyu frowned. "Burter, take care of these weaklings. Make it quick—we still have other planets to conquer."

Burter stepped forward, crossing his arms arrogantly. "Listen up, you primitive beasts! We serve Lord Frieza, and we're here to claim this planet in his name! Surrender now, or die!"

The chieftain's expression darkened. "Claim our planet? You mean… you've come to invade us?"

Burter scoffed. "Call it whatever you want. You have two choices: submit or perish."

Taurus, As Clueless As Ever…

"Chieftain, what the hell is this guy even saying?" Taurus asked, scratching his head.

The chieftain sighed, shaking his head. "They're invaders… which means they want to steal our land, our food, and—perhaps even Bella."

Taurus's eyes went bloodshot. "WHAT?! They wanna steal my Bella?! OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

With a furious roar, he brandished his massive cleaver and charged straight at Burter!

SWOOSH!

A flurry of blade arcs filled the air as Taurus unleashed a series of vicious slashes!

Burter effortlessly dodged each attack, then retaliated with a single punch.

Taurus barely had time to react—he raised his arms in defense, but the moment Burter's fist connected…

BOOM!

Taurus was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing straight into a mountain!

---

Taurus slowly rose from the rubble, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes burned red with fury. He was entering berserk mode.

"Battle power… 35,000?!" Burter's scouter beeped in alarm. He looked genuinely surprised. "This guy… he can increase his power at will?!"

Taurus snorted like a raging bull. Lowering his head, he charged forward with earth-shattering force. The ground trembled beneath him as he leaped into the air, his fist aimed straight at Burter's face!

Burter smirked and casually floated backward, easily avoiding the attack. Taurus, however, froze in shock.

"Y-You can fly?!"

The other minotaurs were equally stunned.

Burter let out a mocking laugh. "You seriously have a 35,000 battle power, and you can't even fly?"

Taurus roared in frustration. "I DON'T KNOW HOW! Get down here and fight me properly!"

Burter rolled his eyes. "Tch. Primitive brutes. Fine, I'll humor you."

With a smirk, Burter slowly descended to the ground.

Seeing his opponent finally land, Taurus wasted no time—he lunged forward, fist cocked back for a devastating punch!

Burter grinned. He didn't even dodge. He swung his fist forward, meeting Taurus's punch head-on!

BOOM!

The shockwave shattered the ground beneath them…
