Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 182 is on a different platform, so a comparison is not possible.

"boom!!!!"

As their attacks collided, in an instant, Naru's torrent of energy was pierced by Talot's sharp beam, which then hurtled straight towards Naru at incredible speed.

"Not good!" The attack was neutralized, but Neru felt a deadly crisis coming towards him.

The sharp beam of light was too fast for him to dodge!

Without a second thought, Neru immediately assumed a defensive stance.

The sharp beam of light struck Neru's arms precisely.

In an instant, a chill swept over his entire body, Neru's pupils contracted sharply, and he stood frozen in place as if he had lost his soul.

Several seconds passed before Neru came to his senses, looking at his body soaked in cold sweat, feeling utterly bewildered.

What's going on?

The sense of imminent death he felt just now was real, but his body was not injured at all.

"Neru, look behind you!" Ragar, standing outside the battlefield, shouted to Neru.

Upon hearing this, Neru slowly turned around, and the scene that came into view made his pupils shrink sharply.

A long crack stretched for hundreds of miles, with no end in sight.

An attack of this caliber is powerful enough to slice through anything in an instant.

At that moment, Neru understood that the deadly sense of crisis was not fake, but rather Talot's perfect control over his power, which allowed the sharp light from before to pass through his body without causing him any harm.

Such power from a casual strike, and absolute control over that power—these are realms I can only look up to.

Having witnessed a higher realm, Neru closed his eyes and quietly contemplated.

"I... lost..." Neru said after a moment of silence.

Having broadened his horizons and witnessed more advanced fighting methods, Neru knew that continuing to fight was pointless. Rather than continuing this meaningless battle, it would be more satisfying to admit defeat.

For him, this sparring match had been very beneficial, and he had gained a lot of inspiration from it, which he could use for his future training.

"Work hard in your training, and you will become even stronger in the future," Talot encouraged Neru.

With guidance from his senior, Talot knew that Neru would definitely become stronger in the future. Even if he couldn't surpass him, he would still be a thousand times stronger than he was now.

"Yes, I will try my best. Thank you for your guidance, Brother Talot." Neru faced Talot, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Seeing his determined gaze, Talot nodded, then turned his attention to Ragar, who was watching from the sidelines.

Their eyes met, and Ragal, in the distance, clearly sensed it.

"My turn...!!" Ragal smiled excitedly, then leaped up and quickly arrived in front of Talot.

He handed over the reins to Naru, instructing him to return and protect the Grand Elder, before finally confronting Talot.

The two didn't immediately engage in combat. Ragal spoke first, "How about it? Neru's pretty good, isn't he?"

"Indeed impressive. In just a few short years, his growth has far surpassed ours back then," Talot said with a smile.

"In a few years, he may not surpass you, but he will definitely surpass me. Compared to me, he is the real combat-type Namekian," Lagar remarked.

These words came out of Talot's surprise, but Talot didn't care. Instead, he looked at the boy Piccolo in the distance and said, "Naru is indeed a genius, but that's because you've been guiding him. That's why he's been able to progress so smoothly. Just like Piccolo, with the two of you leading the way, he'll have an even smoother journey."

As he spoke, Talot looked at Lagar: "Actually, it's not that we are inferior to these younger generations, but that we have always been working hard to pioneer the way forward, and they have been influenced by us to some extent. If our efforts to break through our own limitations do not help those who come after us, then it is the younger generation that is too mediocre."

Talot's words deeply moved Ragal.

"Hearing you say that, my state of mind has been refreshed again." Ragal acknowledged this.

The two smiled at each other.

What Talot was trying to express was simply that as they all grew stronger, their horizons broadened, and their descendants would inevitably be influenced by their predecessors.

Since they were not on the same platform from the start, using the old comparison methods was actually wrong.

……

far away.

The elder stood beside Naru and Bick, sighing with emotion.

"The battle between Ragar and Talot, recalling their first encounter, has been many years in the past."

Recalling their first encounter, Talot displayed extremely strong learning and combat abilities. Even when they were of equal strength, Talot was able to fight Ragal to a standstill, and even gained the upper hand at one point before quickly surpassing Ragal in the end.

That's not the key point. The key point is that if Ragal hadn't met Talot back then, he probably wouldn't have amounted to much.

Because of Tarot, Ragal and Nail have become so strong and awakened the powerful innate abilities that belong to them as battle-type Namekians.

The Namekians of the past were incredibly powerful in their combat forms, but for various reasons they later abandoned their power.

Because they feared the destruction that power could bring, because they were afraid that power was the source of evil, just like Slug in the past.

But things are different now, because Talot used his power to show them that strength is not just about creating destruction; it can also be used to protect the weak and safeguard everything that one wants to protect.

……

On the battlefield.

As the conversation ended, Talot and Ragal's eyes met, their powerful auras clashing and sweeping across the surrounding area.

Their clothes moved without wind, and an invisible pressure expanded in a straight line from them.

"Come on, let me see the results of your training over the years. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what level your strength has reached," Talot said.

"Alright! Don't blink!" Ragal smiled confidently, gathering his strength in his fists.

"Drink!!!" A deep shout erupted from his mouth, and the power dormant within his body was fully mobilized.

"Splash! Splash!"

A continuous stream of energy surged from Ragar's body, and a deathly white aura ignited around him like a raging fire.

Lagar's change in demeanor caused the numbers displayed on Talot's virtual reality glasses to fluctuate continuously.

It surged from several million points to over ten million points, and is still rising.

The increase in Ragar's strength caused a flicker of surprise in Talot's eyes.

Although a combat power of over ten million points is nothing to him, the fact that Ragal was able to break through to ten million points shows how much he had sacrificed for that power.

"Crackling and popping!!!"

The sky was now shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and bolts of destructive golden lightning struck down, bombarding the area around Lagar and tearing the ground in several fissures.

Ragal's power erupted to its peak.

The virtual reality glasses Talot wore told him that Ragar's combat power was currently at 1500 million points.

"Indeed impressive, your combat power exceeds 1500 million points," Talot praised.

"1500 million? Looks like I overestimated myself! But numbers are numbers!" Lagar adopted a fighting stance and shouted with high spirits.

Sensing Ragar's burning fighting spirit, Talot smiled, his aura pulsating. Unlike Ragar's burst of energy, Talot's control over his power was perfect. He had now suppressed his strength to 1500 million points, which was roughly equivalent to Ragar's.

"Take this!!!" Ragar gathered power in his right hand and swung his arm.

An energy blast with astonishing destructive power condensed and took shape, hurtling through the air and heading straight for Talot.

As expected, Talot casually released a gas blast that collided with the energy blast, but the anticipated explosion did not occur.

With a blinding flash of white light, Ragal's energy blast and Talot's gas blast vanished into nothingness.

When his first attack failed, Ragar continued his assault. With rapid swings of his hands, dozens of destructive energy projectiles rained down on Talot.

Faced with this barrage of energy projectiles, Talot remained calm and prepared a countermeasure, releasing a large energy projectile.

The large gas bomb spun counterclockwise at high speed the moment it went out of control, and the powerful attraction it generated drew all the energy bombs in the surrounding space towards it.

The explosion occurred, and Ragar was shocked by Talot's move.

Witnessing his attack being completely neutralized, Ragal's expression became even more serious.

Since a full-scale energy attack is ineffective against Talot, the only option left is to settle the score with hand-to-hand combat against Ragar.

"Drink up!!!" Accompanied by a high-pitched shout, the white aura around Ragar transformed into tangible flames and burned fiercely. He rushed out at full speed like a ray of dawn, heading straight for Talot.

A powerful iron fist, imbued with the strength of the entire body, was suddenly swung out.

Talot remained calm, effortlessly deflecting Ragar's full-force attack with a wave of his hand.

The attack was blocked, but Rajar did not stop. He quickly pulled back his fist, unleashing his terrifying hand-to-hand combat skills.

A fierce and powerful attack swept over Talot from all directions like a storm.

But this level of attack had absolutely no effect on Talot.

Even though he suppressed his power to a level comparable to Ragar's, Talot's combat ability was not restricted in the slightest. After only one or two exchanges, Talot completely figured out Ragar's fighting rhythm and used corresponding methods to completely neutralize all of Ragar's attacks.

Talot saw through the attack completely, and Ragal, as the attacker, felt immense pressure.

If he doesn't find a way to break through Talot's defenses, then all his current advantages will vanish.

With gritted teeth, Ragal once again increased the pace and intensity of his attack.

Speed ​​and power underwent a qualitative change, and a storm of attacks relentlessly swept over Talot's body.

Despite Lagar's relentless attacks, Talot's defensive rhythm remained completely intact, and he defended against Lagar's offensive with impeccable defense.

Lagar, who was launching a strong offensive, should have had the upper hand, but now the situation is quite unfavorable for him.

Talot's impenetrable defense left Ragal with no openings for attack, turning the tide of the game and giving Talot the upper hand.

Lajar is now in a dilemma; attacking is not an option, nor is not attacking.

"I refuse to believe that your defense is completely flawless!!" Ragal went all out. In order to reverse the situation and establish his advantage, he disregarded his physical exhaustion and unleashed his full power, launching a full-scale attack on Talot.

While speed and power have been greatly improved, offensive methods have also become sharper, with many unnecessary attacking moves reduced.

'Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! ……'

One dull sound after another echoed through the space.

Lagar's all-out offensive was incredibly destructive, terrifying to the extreme.

But with this level of attack, it's far from enough to break through Talot's defenses.

Years of training, and the battle with the God of Destruction, Champa, further enhanced Talot's combat instincts. Even without conscious thought, his body could react on its own and take the same countermeasures immediately.

If Talot hadn't been suppressing his fighting instincts, Ragar would have been completely overwhelmed the moment they clashed.

The intense battle between the two left Neru, who was on the edge of the battlefield, dumbfounded, and a layer of cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on his forehead.

His mind went blank; he was clearly terrified by this level of combat.

"Is this the true power of Brother Ragal? Such a fierce attack! If he used this kind of attack when sparring with me normally, I'm afraid I wouldn't even last a single round." Naru said, his expression shocked, after regaining his senses.

If he's like this, imagine what it's like for young Piccolo standing to the side.

"Ragal was too eager to attack, desperate to gain the upper hand, but he exposed his biggest weakness." The Grand Elder saw through it all and could already guess what would happen next.

His insight was extraordinary; he could discern the future development of the battle in just a few glances.

Ragal's overly eager attack caused his stamina to deplete rapidly, and his attacks were only superficially fierce. Talot had already perfectly weathered the first wave of fierce attacks, and Ragal would soon run out of steam.

In fact, Ragal should be grateful that his opponent was Talot; if it were any other enemy, he wouldn't be so lucky.

……

On the battlefield.

Although Lagar was still attacking, he was already showing signs of defeat.

Compared to his initial powerful attacks, his punches were noticeably weaker, with both power and speed showing a significant decline.

In contrast, Talot, although he was always on the defensive, maintained a stable aura without revealing anything.

"This shouldn't be your true strength, right? Your overly eager attacks in an attempt to gain an advantage will only expose your weaknesses." As soon as he finished speaking, Talot seized the opportunity and launched a decisive attack.

With a clenched right fist, he struck Ragal in the chest. The immense force caused Ragal to utter a muttering sound and involuntarily stagger backward.
