Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 114 The First in the Northern Galaxy! Back to Earth

"Brother Talot."

"Talot".

As two shouts came from afar, Talot, who was having a deep conversation with Oliver, smiled slightly and looked up.

Although he didn't specifically use his aura to sense things, all the movements in this area were covered by his mental power.

He naturally sensed that Raditz and Serarri were coming.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I've learned a lot from this battle. You can learn more from Oliver in the future. You should have seen his strength through the North Kai's shared perception." Talot said to Serari and Raditz, then looked at Oliver.

"You flatter me. I am the one who needs your guidance, especially in the area of ​​Kaioken. I have been training for a thousand years, and even today I can only use three times its power." Oliver changed the subject, speaking to Raditz.

Clearly, these words pleased Raditz greatly; he had earned the respect of a powerful figure, something that made him incredibly proud.

It should be said that Oliver, who previously seemed rather rigid and unable to speak, now appears to be quite wise in Talott's opinion.

Knowing what to say to what kind of person ensures that the relationship isn't too bad.

With basic communication established, the group used their flying and aerial maneuvers to return to their base in the Northern Galaxy.

At this moment, there are some outsiders.

It was King Kai from the South who brought his warriors to make a brief appearance.

Currently, he is the only King of the Kai on Grand Kaio Star, and he has just arrived there with the newcomers.

Unexpectedly, they ran into the North King, who was also sending off a new bride, and such a fierce battle took place there.

The scene appeared harmonious, but there were underlying messages and a clear confrontation between the North and South Kai. Anyone with eyes could see that this was a clash between the North and South Kai.

After a verbal exchange between the two Kings, the South King left with his warriors.

It was obvious that King Kai was extremely shocked that he had actually sent three living people this time.

Especially after learning from the arrogant tone of the North Kai that this was a special permission from the Grand Kai, he was even more shocked, and his emotions fluctuated uncontrollably, like a turbulent sea.

"Lord South Kai, how could the Great Kai allow living people to come to the Underworld, and even stay on our Great Kai Star for so long? This doesn't make sense," a warrior of considerable strength asked the South Kai.

Upon hearing this, the South Kai didn't even glance at him, and quickly left on his own: "That's right. If you could guess the thoughts of the Great Kai, then you wouldn't be the Great Kai."

"Does the South Kaido mean that the Great Kaido has some special purpose in doing this?" another warrior asked.

"Of course it is, otherwise why would such a thing be allowed to happen? What I'm curious about is whether the Grand Kai specifically arranged for that guy, the North Kai, to do it, or whether the North Kai gave the Grand Kai some kind of spell to make him allow it. Looking at those three Saiyans, they don't seem to be anything special; they're just ordinary humans."

As soon as he finished speaking, another soldier beside him added, "Perhaps..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was silenced by a single look from the South King.

"Alright, just focus on your own business. Other matters are not for you to discuss. I will be going to see the Great Kai King later, and I will eventually know the answer."

After speaking, King Kai and his party returned to their base in the Southern Galaxy.

……

After seeing King Kai off, King Kai waited a long time before dispersing the warriors gathered there.

After settling all the trivial matters, he then spoke to Talot and the other two, saying, "It's embarrassing to admit, but as you've seen, the relationship between us Kings isn't as good as you imagine. But that's alright, now that you've met the South King, you'll know how to survive on the Grand King's planet. Remember, don't go to other people's territory unless absolutely necessary. Of course, if someone provokes us, we in the North Galaxy will definitely not be afraid of trouble."

King Kai spoke with great confidence, which made Tarot and the others realize for the first time that King Kai had some class.

Serarri gave a thumbs up, and even Raditz was moved and praised him for his protectiveness.

King North was overjoyed upon seeing this.

"Don't worry, Lord Kai, you know who we are, and we know what to do. Now, shouldn't we arrange where we'll stay? We can't keep using our own houses like before, can we?" Talot didn't intend to delve into these issues, so he changed the subject and asked.

"That's easy." Upon hearing this, King Kai looked at Oliver and said to him, "You two have become friends after a fight. I'll trouble you, Oliver, to show them around the residence and also introduce Talot and the others to everything here."

"Isn't Lord King taking us there himself?" Serari asked curiously.

"I still have some things to take care of, otherwise I would definitely stay with you, but I will be back soon," said the North Kai.

Since he had already said that, Serari couldn't press him any further.

Oliver chimed in, "Leave it to me, Lord North Kai."

"Hmm." King Kai nodded, exchanged a glance with Talot, then put his hands behind his back, turned and walked away into the distance.

After watching King Kai leave, the group left him behind and began to talk.

After saying a few words, Oliver began to lead Talot, Serarri, and Raditz on a tour of the Great Kaido.

Naturally, I first went to the residential area of ​​the North Galaxy base.

They were individual small houses, not very big, but not small either, at least big enough for one person to live in.

Most people might not notice anything, but Talot definitely felt it. Wasn't this style of housing similar to a cemetery?

If I didn't know this was the underworld, if I didn't know this was a house for the dead, I really would have complained.

In the end, Talot and his companions decided to stay in the portable housing they had always carried with them.

After all, they're not dead; who would want to sleep in a grave?

After settling on their lodgings, Talot and his companions, under Oliver's guidance, became familiar with the specific regional distribution of the Great Kaido and got to know some of the people there.

It wasn't until nearly an hour later that they returned to the location where the portable house was placed.

After Oliver left, only Talott, Serarra, and Raditz remained in the large room.

That's all for today.

They were newcomers, and Talot and Raditz had already fought a big battle with Oliver and Krzyzee.

Although there is no concept of time here, Talot believes that it would be best for them not to go out for some time to come, otherwise it would seem a bit radical and would cause dissatisfaction.

The people here are not fools; they are all shrewd individuals who have lived for a long time.

If the three people are too eager to show off and keep appearing in front of others, it will generate resentment.

……

With no outsiders around, the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room and had a heart-to-heart talk.

"I really didn't expect there to be so many powerful beings on the Great Kaio Star. I was truly a frog in a well before. Now I realize how big the world really is," Raditz said with emotion.

In other words, what he really meant was: the world of the dead is so fascinating.

Little did he know, this was just the tip of the iceberg.

The world is much bigger than it appears now.

"If Brother Talot defeats Oliver, that means that from now on, Brother Talot will be the strongest warrior in our Northern Galaxy," Serari said bluntly.

Raditz seconded, "The legendary Super Saiyan is the strongest super soldier in the universe! It's the same everywhere!"

That's too absolute. Talot said, "Don't think of me as invincible. In fact, if we fought again, Oliver might be able to defeat me! Beings who reach a certain level of power all have special methods, just like our Super Saiyan transformation..."

"You mean, Oliver still has a lot of power he hasn't used yet?" Raditz asked in shock.

"No way? If that were the case, Oliver wouldn't have lost so decisively in the previous battle," Serarry chimed in.

Talot shook his head: "In short, you'll understand when you're as powerful as I am."

The two looked at each other in disbelief.

"Speaking of which, in the coming period, you must accumulate combat experience as quickly as possible, increase your S cells, and at the same time accelerate your understanding and control of S cells to perfect the Super Saiyan transformation. Only then can you reach a higher level, just like me."

Upon hearing this, Serarra and Raditz's expressions gradually turned serious.

The two nodded in succession, as if they had already made up their minds.

Even without Talot saying anything, they would speed up their progress to become Super Saiyans.

Not for any other reason than to become stronger and not hold Talot back.

The feeling wasn't so strong before, but this battle between Talot and Oliver made them realize their own weakness. If they didn't step up their efforts, they would really be left far behind.

Talot nodded in satisfaction at their performance.

……

And so, time flew by.

Before they knew it, a month had passed since Tarot and the other two arrived on the Grand Kai's planet with King Kai.

During this month, all three of them did their best to improve themselves.

Talott perfectly absorbed all the experience and insights gained from his battle with Oliver. With this month of intensive training and occasional sparring with other warriors, his strength finally reached another level.

Regular combat strength has exceeded 400 million points!

In addition, his understanding of Super Saiyans also reached a new level during this period.

At this moment, he has been able to maintain his Super Saiyan transformation state for several days. Although he is not in a fighting state, he has already sensed the key to it. Although he has not yet broken through, he is not far from completely breaking through and reaching the first stage of Super Saiyan full power.

As for the cultivation of the Great Ape Power, although there has been no major breakthrough, its use in Super Saiyan form has become increasingly proficient.

This enhancement is even more powerful than the Kaioken enhancement.

Give him some more time to mature and grow stronger. Once his normal combat power reaches a certain level, perhaps even tens of millions of points, then the Super Saiyan power combined with the Great Ape power might reach another level.

Talott's strength improved rapidly.

Lartiz and Serarri have also made significant progress.

Over the past month, Raditz's normal combat strength has reached 180 million points.

Serari's combat power has also reached 170 million points.

Perhaps it was the battle between Talot and Oliver that spurred them on, causing them to constantly engage in combat with other warriors over the past month, with each battle resulting in significant improvements.

However, the two are now facing a fatal problem.

Their normal combat power is already close to two million points, but they still haven't reached the threshold for transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Even with Talot's constant guidance, they were able to experience it firsthand.

But for the two of them, it always seemed that something was missing.

Talot has also been pondering this question deeply.

Based on his perception, Raditz and Serari should currently have enough S-cells to support their transformation.

What exactly went wrong? Does it really require experiencing such intense emotional fluctuations as in the original story? When I transformed, it didn't seem to require that...

Talot stood at the edge of the training ground, watching Raditz and Serari, who were still working incredibly hard to comprehend the teachings.

Tarot had witnessed their efforts in becoming Super Saiyans.

Over the past month, I've had almost no time to rest, and even my sleep time has been reduced to a minimum.

[Perhaps it's time for them to rest, and for me too; it's time for me to truly take a break for a while.] A sudden thought flashed through Talot's mind.

Since relentless cultivation has yielded no results, and following the established path step by step is futile, the only option is to take a step back and see the bigger picture.

After all, the original work also mentioned that becoming a Super Saiyan requires not only extreme anger, but also a gentle and calm mind.

Perhaps Raditz and Celia are making the same mistake that Vegeta made in the original story.

Being too hasty is sometimes not a good thing; giving up on cultivation at the right time may have unexpected results.

Thinking about something on a deeper level, Talot immediately spoke up to stop Serari and Raditz, who were still deep in thought.

The two people who were meditating were stopped by Talot and opened their eyes at the same time, feeling puzzled.

"Have we been practicing incorrectly again?"

"Or has something unusual happened, Brother Talot?"

Raditz and Serarri stood up and came forward to ask.

Talot shook his head and replied, "Let's put our training aside for now. Perhaps I've found the reason why you can't transform."

Upon hearing this, Raditz and Serarri were slightly startled.

Although it has only been a month of fighting and training on the Great Kaiju Star, it is still a month.

Talot said that now that he knew the source of their problem, there must be a solution.

The two men stared at Talot, and seeing how eager they were to know the answer, Talot no longer hesitated and spoke his mind.

"The transformation into a Super Saiyan requires not only a large number of S cells, but also strong emotional fluctuations during battle as a guide... You actually have all of these. The reason you can't truly break through to the transformation is perhaps because you are too eager and too deliberate, thus losing your natural and peaceful mind." As he spoke, Talot saw the blankness on the faces of the two.

"A naturally peaceful mind?"

"Does this have anything to do with Super Saiyan?"

In their view, this seems to contradict the previous two demands.

It's completely self-contradictory.

"It's understandable that you can't understand it now. After all, we've been training hard since we returned to Earth, to the point that we've almost completely given up our rest time," Talot said tactfully.

"Tarot, do you mean we were blinded by the power of the Super Saiyans and acted too hastily?" Raditz looked at his hands, feeling his body, and muttered to himself.

After hearing Raditz's simple question, Serari suddenly understood: "Brother Talot, you mean we should rest?"

Seeing that the two understood his meaning so easily, Talot nodded: "Let's go back to Earth, truly put aside cultivation and live a peaceful life for a while. Perhaps when the time is right, things will naturally fall into place."

Neither of them refuted these words, because Talot had never lied to them about anything.

Even if they ultimately fail, they won't blame Talot.

Back at their lodgings, the three of them took turns giving each other a quick wash.

After that, they quickly approached King Kai.

Having only been on the Great Kaio planet for a month, and despite the crazy events that have occurred, the North Kai was utterly surprised to learn that he was leaving now.

His original plan was that Talot and the others would stay on this Great Kaido for at least a year and a half.

Little did they expect that they would be returning to Earth so soon.

Moreover, the reason given was the simplest: to balance work and rest, and to seek greater breakthroughs only after a proper rest.

I cannot refuse, much less refuse.

King Kai knew that it wouldn't matter if he disagreed, so he simply agreed.

Furthermore, to make Talot and the others feel that they would always be welcome to come back, all the warriors of the North Galaxy camp were gathered to see them off, creating an atmosphere that this place was their second home.

To be honest, when King Kai really puts on an act, it's incredibly awkward.

Instead, it made Talott, Serari, and Raditz feel embarrassed.

Of course, they wouldn't take it seriously, since they would be back soon. The resources of the opponents on the Great Kaio Star were still plentiful, and besides, they hadn't fought against any warriors from other galaxies yet.

This rest is simply to allow the body to rest more fully, to truly let go of the burden, and to catch its breath.

……

P.S.: I wasn't feeling well for a while, and I've had a lot of things going on at home these past few days, so I don't have any drafts saved up. Today's update will be one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the evening.

Please forgive me, everyone.
