Start in Dragon Ball GT, Super Saiyan 5 Defeats the God of Destruction

Chapter 26: The Trump Card of Four-Star Dragon

The Four-Star Dragon exuded arrogance, his gaze toward Lin Qi filled with disdain, radiating an inexplicable self-confidence.

"Lin Qi, why don't you let me handle this?" Son Gohan, glancing at the two locked in tension, grew excited himself.

"Gohan, this guy isn't like the previous three-star dragons. Even if we team up, we can't defeat him!"

Piccolo, seeing more than the others, shook his head slightly and took Son Gohan into the air, distancing themselves from the battlefield.

Lin Qi shrugged nonchalantly. "Shall we make this quick, then?"

In Lin Qi's eyes, the formidable power of the Four-Star Dragon posed no threat whatsoever.

"I don't feel much power from you. Why don't the three of you come at me together?" The Four-Star Dragon sneered at Lin Qi.

"Heh… Are you teaching me how to fight?" Lin Qi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Bastard…" Feeling insulted, the Four-Star Dragon glared furiously at Lin Qi, who wore a provocative smirk.

"You insolent fool! I'll kill you!"

Lin Qi wasn't interested in toying with the Four-Star Dragon. He was far more eager to gauge the power of the Super One-Star Dragon that would appear later.

Having watched Dragon Ball GT long ago, Lin Qi couldn't clearly recall the finale. Was the Super One-Star Dragon defeated by Son Goku's Spirit Bomb, or was it Gogeta—the fusion of Vegeta and Son Goku?

Before Lin Qi made his move, the Four-Star Dragon looked on with arrogant disdain. But the moment Lin Qi acted, the Four-Star Dragon's attitude shifted dramatically.

Caught off guard by his own hubris, the Four-Star Dragon was completely unprepared. His vision blurred, and before he could react, Lin Qi had already appeared before him, a kick swiftly launched.

The Four-Star Dragon hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the kick. But as Lin Qi's strength increased, the Four-Star Dragon's arms began trembling uncontrollably. Seeing his shocked expression, Lin Qi smirked. "Surprised now?"

"Damn it…" The Four-Star Dragon realized he couldn't withstand the force. Taking advantage of the momentum, he withdrew, flipping backward multiple times to create distance between himself and Lin Qi.

After steadying himself, the Four-Star Dragon lunged at Lin Qi again. "Don't think you can keep this up!"

Against the Four-Star Dragon's flurry of punches and kicks, Lin Qi strolled casually, deflecting every attack as if he were merely taking a walk in a garden.

"How… How is your speed so fast?!" The Four-Star Dragon was so frustrated he nearly spat blood. Among the seven Shadow Dragons, his speed was second to none. Yet, his proud swiftness was no match for the man in front of him—an infuriating reality.

Unwilling to accept this, the Four-Star Dragon struck out again, throwing a powerful punch toward Lin Qi.

"If you obediently hand over the Four-Star Dragon Ball, I'll spare you," Lin Qi said coldly, catching the punch with his palm.

"Never!" The Four-Star Dragon, growing increasingly unwilling to admit defeat, tried desperately to push his fist forward.

"Unappreciative fool!" Lin Qi pressed his palm forward, sending the Four-Star Dragon flying backward with incredible force.

The sudden burst of energy from Lin Qi shattered the already crumbling surroundings, causing the melted ruins to collapse entirely. This gentle push alone revealed the overwhelming power behind Lin Qi's strike.

Amid the wasteland of debris, the Four-Star Dragon crashed through several ruins, landing heavily on the ground and coughing up blood.

"How is this possible…" The Four-Star Dragon began doubting everything. He had always believed Son Goku was the strongest. Determined to fight him, the Four-Star Dragon now faced the reality of dying before even encountering his target.

Unwilling… deeply unwilling…

Struggling, the Four-Star Dragon rose from the ground, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "It seems I have no choice but to unleash my ultimate technique!"

"Oh? You still have a trump card?" Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, feigning interest as he looked at the Four-Star Dragon. "Go ahead, put on a show."

"Haahhhh!"

The Four-Star Dragon spread his arms wide, roaring continuously. Golden cracks began appearing on his body, glowing brightly as they spread.

"What's that…" Watching from the sky, Son Gohan was startled. "His energy is rising rapidly!"

"No… Pay closer attention. Not only is his power increasing, but the surrounding temperature is also climbing," Piccolo said, his forehead drenched in sweat—whether from heat or fear was unclear.

"Chaotic Inner Fire Needle!!"

As the Four-Star Dragon's roar concluded, flames erupted around him. The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, warping the view.

"Haah!"

Countless massive fireballs materialized around the Four-Star Dragon. With a shout, he waved his arms, sending the fireballs hurtling toward Lin Qi like living entities.

As he attacked, the Four-Star Dragon mocked, "You'll burn to ashes in my flames!"

The Four-Star Dragon was elated. This was his trump card—his ultimate technique!

"Hmm… I thought you'd have something more impressive," Lin Qi said, his cold eyes brimming with ridicule as he looked at the Four-Star Dragon. "So it's just this? Merely high-temperature flames?"

"Still talking big at this point?" Seeing Lin Qi surrounded by fireballs, the Four-Star Dragon smirked. "If you so much as twitch, you'll disrupt the fireballs' balance. Can you handle simultaneous explosions?"

"These flames are over 6,000 degrees!"

"What?" Son Gohan's eyes widened in shock at the Four-Star Dragon's boast. "6,000 degrees?!"

Who could survive such temperatures?

"What do we do, Uncle Piccolo?" Son Gohan asked anxiously, turning to Piccolo.

"Don't panic. Look at Lin Qi's expression!" Piccolo replied gravely, keeping his eyes on the battlefield. "He's calm—he must have a way out of this!"

"Balance?" Lin Qi shook his head with a sigh, extending his finger toward the nearest fireball. With a light poke, all the fireballs surrounding him began trembling in unison, triggering a chain reaction.

"You're dead!" Seeing Lin Qi's seemingly suicidal move, the Four-Star Dragon grinned maliciously, clenching his fists.

"Ha…" Lin Qi noticed the Four-Star Dragon's expression and responded by slapping the fireball he had touched earlier.

In that instant, all the fireballs shook violently, reaching a critical threshold.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

All the fireballs detonated in an instant. The terrifying heat generated a shockwave that engulfed the area.

Ferocious winds, searing heat waves, blinding flames, and rolling black smoke swallowed the entire town in mere moments, turning it into a sea of fire.
