Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 130 A Sudden Increase in Strength! The Temptation of Godhood

Time passed, and another five hours went by.

The Old Kaioshin's development of Tarot's potential has finally come to an end.

As if sensing something in the dark, Talot opened his eyes and met the gaze of the Old Kaioshin.

"Phew! It's finally over." The Old Kaioshin let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His breathing was slightly heavy, and his once radiant face appeared somewhat pale due to this potential development.

Looking at Talot, his gaze underwent a subtle change, different from how he had looked at Talot before.

In those few hours, he had come to a profound understanding of how terrifying Talot was.

To put it simply, he truly deserves to be called a Super Ape Saiyan; his potential is unfathomable.

He did his best to develop Talot's potential. Although the process went smoothly, every time he developed the potential to a certain extent, even greater potential would surge out of Talot's body.

According to his conjecture, if he continued to develop his potential, Talot's strength might improve even further, but he did not go beyond that limit.

Firstly, I had a backup plan, and secondly, things shouldn't happen more than three times.

He doesn't know what the consequences would be if he overexploited his known potential and then his body suddenly unleashed even greater potential.

As a veteran Supreme Kai!

He deeply understood a principle: excessive pursuit of perfection can lead to a dead end.

"Is it finally over?" Ignoring the Old Kaioshin's slightly meaningful scrutinizing gaze, Talot did not get up immediately, but instead felt the changes happening in his body.

Unlike the original Gohan, who didn't sense anything.

Talot seems to be able to feel his body's energy doubled because he practiced the mental tempering method given to him by the Old Kaioshin.

This immense power captivated Talot.

If this energy were converted into combat power, his current normal combat power should be over 2000 million points.

If this were to become Super Saiyan 4, how strong would it be?

"Although your potential development is complete, there is still an even more powerful force within your body that has not been tapped. You will need to cultivate yourself to explore it further in the future. This is all I can do to help you," the Old Realm King God said after a moment of contemplation.

Upon hearing this, Talot nodded his thanks slightly, then stood up, intending to unleash his power.

This direct action greatly alarmed the Old Kaioshin, who hurriedly tried to stop him.

Fortunately, it was timely; Tarot hadn't yet unleashed his power. It was Old Kai's reminder that made Tarot realize what was happening. He almost unleashed his power like Gohan in the original story, which could have affected Old Kai.

Tarot was relieved after the Old Supreme Kai had gone far away to the location of the East Supreme Kai and Kibito.

Mobilize the body's super-sport energy pool.

The S cells in his body erupted, concentrating towards his back, and golden energy surrounded his entire body, about to explode.

Boom! A golden aura suddenly erupted from the ground centered on Talot, like an inexhaustible volcano.

A storm of energy swept across all directions, stirring up gusts of wind.

With Talott as the center, the earth within a radius of several kilometers trembled violently at the same time.

Despite feeling the immense pressure coming at him, the Old Kaioshin, who was already some distance away, remained unfazed. He knew that this was only the beginning.

However, East Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito were quite agitated.

Feeling the oppressive aura coming towards them, the master and servant exchanged a glance and simultaneously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

This is only the beginning, and it's already reached this level. What would happen if it were to unleash its full power?

A few seconds later, the aura storm that Talot had unleashed dissipated.

Golden hair stood on end, soaring into the sky. A rich golden aura enveloped his entire body, and he stood on the ground like an invincible war god, surrounded by the residual power of his explosive outburst.

Super Saiyan Stage 1 Full Power!

The magnitude of the aura was on a completely different level compared to before the potential was developed. Not only was it much more vast, but its quality and density were also far beyond what they could have been compared to before.

"Is this the power I possess after unlocking my potential and transforming into Super Saiyan 1 at full power...? My initial estimate is probably over 15 billion!" Talot said, his aura restrained as he looked down at his hands.

He didn't have any tools to measure his combat strength at the moment, and with his current level of power, the virtual glasses were no longer able to detect it.

Unless it's Bulma's supercomputer.

This is only Super Saiyan 1 at full power. If we were to transform into Super Saiyan 2...!

With a slight upturn of his lips, Talot's eyes narrowed, and a deeper layer of energy within his body was activated. Blue and white lightning crackled around him as he completed the second stage of his Super Saiyan transformation in one fell swoop.

With his strength increasing once again, a hundredfold increase, Talot was certain that his strength exceeded 2 billion, and this was only the stable stage of Super Saiyan 2. If he were to unleash his full power, he would only become stronger!

If it's the Super 2 at full power...

This was just something I imagined before; I had never actually tried it.

"My Super Saiyan 2nd stage seems to be able to advance further after the potential development and strength enhancement!" This most real feeling of breakthrough is the feeling brought about by the normal and significant increase.

I vaguely sensed a higher level of Super Saiyan 2.

"Drink!!!" With a muffled shout, Talot gritted his teeth and exerted his strength again in one go.

His aura surged, and his entire body crackled with electricity, causing the entire Realm of the Supreme Kai to tremble.

Rays of light approached from afar, seemingly shooting out from Talot's body, influencing the world around them.

The second stage of Super Saiyan, a higher level, increases power by at least a hundred times, and then by dozens of times.

Combat power increased dramatically from 20 billion points to over 30 billion points.

[I never imagined that the Old Kaioshin's potential could be developed to this extent. If Raditz and Serari were to accept his development, they might be able to reach Super Saiyan 1 full power in one go.] Talot was overjoyed.

Next, he set a new goal for his cultivation.

The current Super Saiyan 2 has reached its peak, but Talot still senses that there is an even higher ultimate realm above it.

Only by mastering Super Saiyan 2 to its ultimate level can one reach the third stage of Super Saiyan.

Although he had already reached the level of a Super Saiyan ape, making Super Saiyan 3 seem dispensable, since he had embarked on this path of cultivation, he could not afford to have any shortcomings.

You can choose not to use it, but you can't be unable to do it.

In the distance, the Old Kaioshin stroked his chin with his right hand, looked Talot up and down several times, and then nodded in satisfaction.

After his potential was unlocked, there was no leakage of energy during the transformation. This kid has reached a very high level of control over his power. No wonder he could achieve that level of transformation.

He had thought that after his potential was unlocked, Talot would experience some uncontrollable or out-of-control power, but it seems he was overthinking it.

However, although Talot's power is strong, it has not reached the level he predicted.

After all, he hasn't become a Super Ape Saiyan yet!

The show has just begun.

Beside him, the Supreme Kai and Kibito remained dumbfounded and incredulous.

While the previous Super Saiyan 4 was already quite awe-inspiring, this true explosion is causing a cataclysmic change in the world, and its impact is even more direct.

Besides, this is the realm of the Supreme Kai!

……

At this moment, after sensing the difference between his current Super Saiyan 2nd form and the previous one, Talot stabilized his form and regained his composure.

Under his mental control, the S cells in his body surged and divided violently, and the power of the giant ape surged out like a flood bursting through a dam, like a ferocious beast.

If the normal state is stronger, and Super Saiyan 2 is an even greater step forward, then the power of Super Saiyan 4 will definitely be even stronger.

"Almost there...!!" Taking a deep breath and activating the power of his bloodline, Talot's aura expanded rapidly.

In an instant, lightning struck down from the sky, even hitting Talot's body directly.

Even though he had only recently broken through to the fourth stage of Super Saiyan, and even though this was his first time breaking through directly in human form, it seemed as if it had already been etched into his very bones.

An indescribably powerful force erupted from Talot's body.

The entire Realm of the Supreme Kais began to tremble violently due to the outburst of this power.

The powerful energy expanded linearly from Talot, causing the ground beneath his feet to crumble and countless cracks to appear and spread outwards.

Crackle! ...

The golden lightning struck down even more fiercely, a scene resembling the end of the world.

Talot's aura surged rapidly, and his body expanded at a visible speed, undergoing an astonishing transformation.

That vast and boundless primal energy covered and filled the entire Realm of the World Kings, to the point that the Realm of the World Kings could no longer bear it, and it impacted the universe.

The immense air pressure swept over him, causing a change in the Old Kaioshin's state of mind, which had remained undisturbed for countless years.

Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead; he was deeply shocked by the formidable power Talot had unleashed.

It's reached this point before it's even fully erupted; it seems his intuition was correct.

Because of his potential development, this kid has broken through to a higher level.

Looking at the East Supreme Kai and Kibito, they had expressions of utter disbelief, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads like raindrops, and their entire bodies trembling uncontrollably.

This sense of oppression is the true power behind this transformation.

The Supreme Kai of the East felt the same fear and helplessness he had felt when facing Majin Buu from Tarot's powerful aura.

He didn't know whether Tarot was stronger or weaker than Majin Buu, but he was certain that Tarot could kill him instantly, just like Majin Buu.

Jebt barely dared to breathe, holding his breath almost the entire time. Every cell in his body was trembling uncontrollably, a fear that came from his very instincts.

The more he had underestimated Talot before, the stronger his fear became now.

This Saiyan was so powerful that he couldn't comprehend it.

"Haa ...

A black-haired, red-furred monkey, Super Saiyan 4, has descended upon this world once again!

The blood and Saiyan factors in my body are churning and boiling, and even if I do nothing, I will feel a surge of pleasure.

This feeling is indescribable.

"Just as I expected, after upgrading to Super Saiyan 2, the energy of Super Saiyan 4 has also advanced further!" Talot clenched his fists, feeling the enormous energy flowing through his body, which made him feel intoxicated.

Successfully mastering the Super Saiyan 4 transformation has already made him a fortune.

But the constant surprises brought by this trip to the Realm of the Supreme Kai made him feel like he had made a fortune.

In less than a day, his strength improved by several levels!

What he needs to do next is to consolidate and settle down.

Starting with the mental training methods that Old Kaioshin passed down to him is a good choice.

After comprehending his own level of understanding, Talot quickly deactivated his Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

He felt great, but the impact on the world was indeed significant.

Moreover, this feeling has been recorded and will not be forgotten.

The key is to have complete control at will.

With the absolute pressure gone, East Supreme Kai and Kibito both breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.

The oppressive aura emanating from Talot's transformation was terrifying, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

Old Kaiojin, being more knowledgeable, wasn't completely intimidated.

He had faced Beerus, the God of Destruction, and even angels, the High Priest, and the Omni-King, so even though Tarot was very strong, he was not afraid of him.

Old King God stepped forward, feigning an unfathomable demeanor.

Approaching it, I looked into its eyes.

"How are you feeling?" she asked with a half-smile, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Very good, much stronger than I imagined! It's far beyond any potential development I've experienced before," Talot answered truthfully, without any pretense or concealment.

"Of course! My potential development method delves deep into a person's potential abilities and helps you surpass your limits! How can other potential development methods compare?" Old Kai said with immense pride.

The next second, a mysterious smile reappeared on the face of the Old Kaioshin.

"Your cultivation of your own power has reached a very high level, but in a sense, you have also reached a limit. If you cannot surpass it, you will only be able to stay in the same place for the rest of your life."

Tarot was slightly taken aback by the Old Kaioshin's words and asked in return, "What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said. Of course, this situation can be broken by cultivating some special powers. If you can master the cultivation methods of the gods, your strength will reach a higher level. Perhaps your transformation will also be upgraded again because of mastering divine power." The Old Kaioshin intentionally revealed the cultivation methods of divine power to Talot.

As one of the oldest Supreme Kais, he naturally knew the cultivation methods for divine power. The reason he revealed this cultivation method to Talot was because he saw Talot's potential.

Moreover, there is something he must do, but he cannot do it alone; he can only accomplish it with the help of someone with great potential and strength.

"Divine power? You mean you're going to teach me the cultivation methods of a god?" Upon hearing this, Talot perked up.

After all, this is one of the goals he will pursue in the future. Once he masters the power of the gods, he can use the power of the gods to complete the transformation in their Saiyan mythology, Super Saiyan God!

There will be Super Blue or Pink later on, Deep Blue or Pink II... and even Super Blue III or Pink III.

It can also be enhanced by divine power, which can be added to Super Saiyan 4, allowing Super Saiyan 4 to be further upgraded to the level of Shanks' limit breakthrough.

"If you want to learn, that's fine. I'm willing to teach you everything I know, but there's one condition: if you agree..." Before he could finish speaking, the Old Kaioshin looked at him with a probing expression, a cunning smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Talot to take the bait.

Talot's keen senses also detected a hint of conspiracy in the old man.

"What are your conditions?" Talot asked tentatively.

If this condition isn't too unreasonable, he might agree to Old Kaiojin's request.

No one understood better than him the importance of the divine power training method for Saiyans.

"It's very simple, you just need to agree to become an apprentice Supreme Kai." The Old Supreme Kai's condition left Tarot, the East Supreme Kai, and Kibito stunned for a moment, and then all three of them showed incredulous expressions.

Talot had considered what kind of troublesome matter the old man wanted him to handle, or even something like taking revenge on a god...

But to everyone's surprise, Old Kaioshin made him an apprentice Kaioshin.

"Ancestor, isn't this decision a bit too hasty, and it's too abrupt... Jetbit has been with me for so many years, and he still hasn't qualified to become a trainee Supreme Kai..." East Supreme Kai hurriedly said.

Even if he's a bit of a loser as the Supreme Kai, he's still served as one for so many years. Now, because of a single sentence from the old Supreme Kai, a new Supreme Kai has to be chosen, which is something he really can't accept.

If it were Jebt, he wouldn't care, since he knew him well.

Even though Tarot is very powerful, he is still a Saiyan and has no divinity whatsoever.

Divinity?

The East Supreme Kai believed that if the Old Supreme Kai knew, he would definitely reprimand him with disdain.

Because he, the Supreme Kai, has no divinity at all.

He hasn't even cultivated divine power.

If it weren't for the blessing of the Supreme Kai's divine position, what kind of Supreme Kai would Shin be?

Jebt was quite moved, because although the East Supreme Kai's words made him sound dull-witted, they were ultimately speaking up for him.

Clearly, the East Supreme Kai felt he was more qualified than Tarot to become the apprentice Supreme Kai.

After so many years of working, a single word of recognition from the boss is enough to make a worker incredibly grateful.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible." Old Kaioshin didn't offer much further explanation.

He's the boss, and what he says goes.

Those eyes stared directly at Talot, awaiting his answer.

Both the Supreme Kai and Kibito held their breath in response.

Talot pondered for a long time before finally organizing his answer:

"Unfortunately, I prefer freedom to becoming a Supreme Kai. Therefore, I'm not interested in becoming a Supreme Kai, even if you use the divine power training method as an incentive..."
