Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 18 Frieza: My power level is 53

Combat power exceeds 10,000 points.

Even King Vegeta might not be able to defeat him.

Indeed, it seems, it appears to be...

But the enemy was neither King Vegeta nor any other Saiyan.

Talot truly didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Perhaps Bardock genuinely believed he was very strong and capable of turning the tide of battle.

[Reality is so cruel. When Frieza revealed that his power level was 53 before he transformed, the world realized just how terrifying this emperor of the universe was!] Talot sighed inwardly.

To be honest, when he first watched Dragon Ball in his previous life and learned of such a huge data discrepancy, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

And this was only the beginning of the fear.

At the time, it was thought that Frieza's 530,000 power level was incredibly powerful. However, as the Namek arc expanded, his power level eventually reached 120 million, completely overturning previous worldviews.

Compared to a combat power of 530,000, what's a combat power of over 10,000?

Compared to 120 million combat power points, what's 530,000?!

……

Because of Bardock's decisiveness and intolerance of opposition, Gine and Talot had no choice but to accept, and could not refuse.

Talott could understand, and Gine could understand that her husband was protecting her, but she still wanted to fight for him because she wanted to share the burden with Bardock and didn't want to see her husband face a possible major crisis alone.

Bardock's answer was simple and absolutely convincing: if they stayed, they would only become a burden to him.

Having decided to depart in two days, the three continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the night sky.

The nights on Planet Vegeta are incredibly beautiful, dotted with countless stars.

Of course, Saiyans generally don't appreciate the night view, because once they see the full moon and are illuminated by more than 1700 million units of bultz light waves, they will transform into Great Apes.

Although the moon on Planet Vegeta only emits light waves of this level a few days a year, Saiyans generally know that they cannot control their Great Ape form, so they refrain from being active at night.

Of course, for some Saiyans, the Great Ape transformation is controllable.

For example, Bardock could do it, and so could Talot.

According to the original work, high-ranking warriors can control the consciousness of the giant ape. In reality, many low-ranking warriors can also do this, but these are all outstanding individuals with exceptional talent.

"I hope Raditz and Kakarot's first space voyage goes smoothly," Gine prayed to the night sky.

This is how she finds solace; as a mother, she is powerless and can only do this.

"Don't worry! Raditz will definitely come back safe and sound. Once the storm has passed, I will personally go and bring Kakarot back," Bardock said, putting his arm around Gine's shoulder.

At this moment, Talot seemed to have become an unnecessary third wheel.

However, Talot didn't shy away from it, since it wasn't like they hadn't been affectionate with him before.

Talot would only leave if he did *that*, to avoid seeing the truth.

……

The scene shifts to space.

At this moment, the Vegeta elite team has already left the small star system where Planet Vegeta is located in their spaceship.

In just half a day, the distance between them and Planet Vegeta was already enormous.

This is the speed at which spaceships can travel in this era; in a few decades, it will be even more outrageous.

Especially with Bulma and her father Brief's modifications, the spaceship's speed will be so outrageous that it's beyond words.

Inside the spaceship.

A group of Saiyans gathered in the cockpit, each admiring the beautiful scenery of the universe.

Three elite senior warriors were in charge of piloting the spaceship, while Raditz and two other relatively young senior warriors sat on either side of Vegeta behind him.

Beside Vegeta was an elite high-ranking warrior.

It was none other than Nappa, Vegeta's personal bodyguard.

Unlike the original Napa, the current Napa is still very young and not bald.

"We will begin our high-speed travel in an hour. In about a month, we will arrive at Planet Lamp. King Vegeta's instructions do not include a time limit, so Your Highness can treat this mission as a training exercise. Your subordinates will provide escort and eliminate all threats."

Nappa reported the relevant information to Vegeta.

In the original work, he was described as dull-witted, simple-minded, and physically strong.

In reality, this guy isn't stupid at all; on the contrary, he's quite clever and knows how to flatter Vegeta.

"Hmm," Vegeta simply replied, not paying any further attention.

He had no worries about this operation.

When he left Planet Vegeta, his father, King Vegeta, told him that this was just a simple trial.

Vegeta's talent and strength are simply too high. His current combat power has exceeded 3000 points, which is an extremely high value among high-level warriors.

With this level of combat power, even if Planet Lamp is a superior planet, what difficulties could there be?

Therefore, even without the status of a prince, and even though Vegeta is only five years old, he can still be considered the strongest member of the team.

If we're talking about someone in the team with a combat power exceeding three or four thousand, it's only the elite superior warrior Brockle, who has a combat power of 5000 points, making him the strongest warrior in this mission.

As for Nappa now, his fighting power is only comparable to Vegeta's.

In fact, apart from being tall and strong, he is not as good as Vegeta in other aspects.

……

With only an hour left before the high-speed journey began, Raditz and the other two younger senior warriors gazed more intently at the cosmic landscape outside.

After all, this was their first time leaving Planet Vegeta for space travel.

Looking out from the protective transparent layer, although the universe is dark, especially at this speed of travel, there is actually not much beautiful scenery to see.

However, it is still exciting for people who experience it for the first time.

When they encounter new things and see a wider world, the sense of anticipation they feel makes them lose half of themselves.

At this moment, they had no idea that Lamp was not an ordinary superior planet.

This invasion will also result in the deaths of our comrades.

Especially the other two younger, high-ranking warriors whose combat strength was only a few hundred points.

If the plot remains unchanged, they will die on the planet Lamp.

……

"This feeling is truly strange... The universe, just like that guy Talot said back then, is like an endless abyss..."

Raditz couldn't help but utter a sigh.

These words resonated with the other Saiyans.

Even Vegeta couldn't help but glance at him.

"An endless abyss? That's a fitting description. Tarot? And who is he?" Vegeta asked.

Upon hearing this, Raditz perked up: "Your Highness, Talot is a high-ranking warrior born around the same time as me, and he's always lived next door to me..."

"I see." Vegeta nodded upon hearing this.

Without delving deeper, he leaned back in his spaceship chair, looking indifferent.

Raditz, seeing this, had originally intended to say something nice, but seeing that Vegeta had no intention of listening, he had no choice but to give up.
