Is this a mixture of different universes?

No, no, no, these are not living beings, they are ordinary combat robots.

Raditz couldn't help but raise an eyebrow with a hint of indescribable horror. Looking at the terrified eyes of the people below, he could imagine the pain of these individuals being enslaved for a long time.

"Anyway, since you're targeting me, I'll take you all down!"

With his usual confidence, Raditz knew he had to deal with these machines. He looked at the six or seven-meter tall robot without fear. He faced the incoming gunfire head-on.

The dark gray robot started striding forward, its body ringing as it opened up its armor and revealed numerous shooting holes. All the weapons were aimed at Raditz, waiting for the signal to swarm him and unleash a barrage of shells until he was riddled or reduced to ashes.

"Bring it on!" Raditz shouted in advance, taking the initiative.

At the same time, shells were fired, creating a deafening sound and filling the air with explosions. A bright fire illuminated the dark planet as the red light of the explosions flickered wildly.

The attack lasted for a full minute, leaving everyone in awe.

Who could survive under such a violent assault?

"H-He... he's not dead?"

"Don't worry, let him go. We can't defy their will..." An elderly man held a frightened child in his arms, gently caressing her head with fear in his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the old man's hand was trembling.

"But maybe he can save us."

"Hey! Aji, don't say that, it's impossible." The man next to the old man made a shushing gesture. "If they hear you, it'll be trouble."

"Wu wu wu~"

"Don't cry, kid! There's nothing we can do right now. We just have to wait and see." The old man's weary face seemed to have grown numb from all the wrinkles.

The collective sighs filled the air as everyone huddled together, trembling in fear.

At that moment, a black figure emerged from the flames, his long hair swaying in the fiery air. It was a man. The old man's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets. He choked in his throat and coughed. The rest of the people were equally astonished, frozen in place.

He had emerged from the gunfire, seemingly unscathed!

Raditz's current strength exceeded the understanding of these people. He gently flicked away the sparks from his hair, clenched his fist, and rotated his neck.

"Old man, don't crush the child's hope. There's nothing—" Raditz flexed his arm and charged towards the gray robot. The thunderous sound trailed behind him as he moved, resembling a roaring thunder, "Nothing—can—stop me!"

A punch pierced through the heavy armor plates. The strong alloy felt as fragile as a plastic plate under his fist. The powerful shockwave tore it in half and continued to break through the next one...

"Ha!"

Three more punches!

These machines posed no threat to him whatsoever. Even if they ganged up on him, Raditz would still smile confidently.

For example... right now!

When he destroyed three machines in an instant, the remaining ones surrounded him. They couldn't assess the gap between their enemy and him.

They trapped Raditz within a confined area, pointing all their shooting holes at him, with several barrels aimed directly at his face.

In the face of impending danger, Raditz smiled.

With a sweeping motion of his hands, Raditz accumulated a powerful Ki bomb in his palm, shooting it out while swiftly moving!

A white blaze, resembling a curtain, captured everyone's attention. Even the mechanical weapons lost their target. The shockwave rippled around Raditz, brushing past the machines like a gentle breeze. In an instant, all the machines were annihilated, along with their attacks.

"Got it!" Raditz clapped his hands as if it was all too easy.

The survivors grew even more fearful, shrinking back. If they weren't restrained by electronic chains, they would run away.

"I've saved you, there's no need to be so scared. Take a good look at me, I'm almost like you, I'm also human." Raditz pointed to his face and turned around again. He wore a T-shirt and a leather jacket, and his tail was completely gone. He looked just like an ordinary person. "Look carefully."

His words seemed to resonate with the old man.

But the others still looked terrified. Some even saw him as a demon. "You don't understand, we're not afraid of you, we're afraid of them! They'll come back! They'll kill us!"

Raditz became more puzzled, furrowing his brow in complete confusion.

These people seemed to be imprisoned, and the "they" they mentioned might hold the key to unraveling the mystery of the metal planet.

"I ask you... What's happening on this planet? What do they want? My friend and I were sucked into this world while traveling."

A series of questions poured out, leaving these people hesitant.

After a long silence, the old man finally stood up, trembling, and approached Raditz. His eyes, old and deep, resembled shriveled red jujube seeds. He looked up and down at the young man before him and let out a sigh.

Originally, he didn't intend to reveal the truth, but Raditz's words when he emerged from the flames and the incredible strength he displayed made the old man reconsider.

Hope?

Perhaps there was some hope?

For years, they hadn't encountered any signs of new life until this very moment. Wasn't this an opportunity?

"We are the natives of this planet. It's called Tumat, and we call ourselves Tumats. In the vast history of the universe, we flourished for a long time. We were once one of the most advanced civilizations during the technological era, surpassing all other races."

"But... unexpectedly, our technological progress was abruptly halted after a period of prosperity, and all the advancement vanished. Eventually, Tumats disappeared..." The old man's voice trailed off, filled with nostalgia.

Raditz guessed the outcome, scanning his surroundings, and said, "So you're trying to recreate that peak by replicating the civilization from that time!"

The desolate planet echoed with a metallic resonance, as if responding to Raditz's words.
