Chapter 12: Beat You Until You Can't Even Parasite
"Is this guy... trying to destroy Earth?" Uub, holding little Goku, had a complex expression on his face.
Such immense energy left him feeling powerless.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The black energy ball engulfed Lin Qi's figure, followed by a series of massive explosions.
Smoke billowed, rubble flew everywhere, and the shockwaves from the explosion shook the ground. Even the strong-bodied Gohan and the others quietly hid behind a rocky outcrop.
"So powerful..." Trunks exclaimed as he shielded his brow and peeked out from the rocks.
"Yeah... Lord Baby is amazing!" Goten chimed in with admiration.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Lin Qi's figure slowly came into view.
"Are you satisfied?" Lin Qi, completely unscathed, patted off the dust that hadn't even settled on his shoulder and looked up at Baby, who was frozen midair.
"You bastard... you bastard! Argh!" Baby, trembling all over, looked like a sieve after realizing that even his ultimate move had no effect on Lin Qi.
"Die! Just die!" Baby unleashed a barrage of rapid-fire energy blasts using Vegeta's signature style.
Baby's emotions had completely collapsed!
As the energy blasts scattered wildly, Lin Qi moved gracefully through them like a nimble butterfly, appearing disdainfully in front of Baby.
One punch. Then another.
"Argh..." Baby coughed up a mouthful of blood after taking two punches to his abdomen and plummeted rapidly toward the ground.
Lin Qi followed closely, starting a one-sided beating. Wasn't Baby fond of tormenting others? Well, now it was his turn to experience it firsthand!
Every punch Lin Qi delivered was meticulously controlled to maximize Baby's pain while ensuring no harm to Vegeta's body.
Baby was left spitting saliva and letting out blood-curdling screams under Lin Qi's relentless attacks.
Struggling to get up from the massive crater on the ground, Baby forced a twisted smile that looked worse than crying.
"Actually... the one you've been tormenting and humiliating wasn't really me..." Baby smirked triumphantly, looking up at Lin Qi, who was walking toward him.
"This body... is Vegeta's!"
Baby didn't know the exact relationship between Vegeta and Lin Qi, but seeing Lin Qi staying in Vegeta's wife's house was enough to prove their connection wasn't simple.
And this gave Baby even more sinister ideas!
"I know," Lin Qi responded indifferently. Did Vegeta have any relation to him?
Nope!
Did it make a difference whether he was hitting Vegeta's body or Baby himself?
Still no!
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" Baby wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clearly unconvinced.
"If you have the power to kill me instantly, why don't you just do it?"
"Hmph, you're so smug..." Lin Qi's contempt for Baby grew even stronger as he began condensing energy in his palm.
"Damn it... Why is this guy so powerful?!" Baby, sensing the killing intent in the energy directed at him, fled toward Gohan and the others.
"Come here and help me hold him off!" Baby commanded.
"Uh... yes, sir!" Although Goten hesitated, he was the first to emerge from behind the rocks.
"Lord Baby, are you alright?" Gohan, however, seemed genuinely concerned and wore a worried expression.
"Is he trying to use these fools?" Lin Qi observed coldly as Trunks and the others charged toward him.
"Out of my way!"
Lin Qi moved so fast that Gohan and the others couldn't even see him before he appeared behind them, knocking each of them out with a swift hand strike.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The trio fell from midair like dumplings, landing hard on the ground.
At that moment, Kibito Kai, having arrived from the Sacred World of the Kais, appeared beside little Goku.
"Goku, are you alright? I'll heal you right away!"
"And send those two from the Lookout to help! The Sacred Water can rid Baby's parasitic control!"
Lin Qi cast a brief glance at Kibito Kai before shifting his gaze back to the stunned Baby.
"Did you just say I wouldn't dare kill you?" Lin Qi's voice was calm as he began forming another energy ball in his palm.
"Impossible..." Baby stared in disbelief, his face tense. "How are you moving like that... Why—"
"Why can't you see it?" Lin Qi appeared once again in front of Baby in an instant.
"It's because of the difference between us!!"
As Lin Qi's energy ball slowly closed in, Baby screamed in terror, "No... you can't kill me!"
"This is Vegeta's body... You can't kill me!"
"No problem. I'll just use the Dragon Balls to revive him after I kill you," Lin Qi said coldly, curling his lips into a sneer.
Just as the energy ball was about to hit Baby, Lin Qi flicked it aside and instead drove his fist into Baby's abdomen.
"Urgh..." Baby let out a pained scream but still forced a smug smile. "You really... don't dare kill me!!"
Baby retreated quickly and grabbed the unconscious Gohan, using him as a shield.
"Come on, kill me now!"
"Gohan!" Little Goku, who had just recovered, roared in anger at the sight of Gohan being held hostage.
"What a despicable guy..." Kibito Kai clenched his fists in rage.
He quickly teleported to move Trunks and Goten to Uub's side, ensuring Baby couldn't exploit another opportunity.
"What should we do..." Pan looked at Mr. Satan helplessly.
Satan, equally at a loss, kept darting his eyes around nervously but couldn't come up with any ideas. "Even Buu can't beat that guy..."
"Clearly, I didn't beat him hard enough..." Lin Qi floated midair, his gaze turning colder.
"Whoosh!"
Baby's triumphant grin froze as Lin Qi teleported in front of him, yanked Gohan away, and sneered, "I'm going to keep beating you!"
With a smirk, Lin Qi slammed his fist into Baby's cheek.
"You disgusting bastard..."
Lin Qi's punches rained down relentlessly, each one harder than the last.
Baby coughed up blood, realizing something was wrong.
"My parasitic control..." Baby's body began to tremble violently as panic overtook his face.
"No... no... My parasitic control..."
"Did you think I was just playing with you?" Lin Qi smirked as his punches became even more ferocious.
"I'm going to beat you until you can't even parasite anymore!"
As Lin Qi's words fell, Baby's parasitic control became increasingly unstable until he was forcibly expelled from Vegeta's body.
