Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

"Don't worry, he's fine. He just fainted. Since he challenged me, he has to pay a price. Otherwise, wouldn't I be too easy to bully?"

Hearing Number 18 exclaim in surprise, wanting to approach but not daring to, Talot laughed.

Immediately afterwards, scrutinizing gazes continued to look at her, and her pale face only made her more attractive.

Of course, Talot didn't look at it for long. He quickly followed the gaze and saw Klin standing there in the distance, stunned and not daring to make the slightest move.

He couldn't help but scoff inwardly.

Although it's from this timeline, Krillin from both timelines is not much different.

However, in terms of strength, Krillin from his timeline was far more powerful than Krillin from this Android Saga.

When he left, Krillin not only improved his skills due to the martial arts tournament, with his combat power soaring to 70 million points, but he also mastered the Kaioken, which allowed him to break through to 200 million points.

Now, it's unknown how much time has passed in his world. If nothing unexpected happens, the point at which Bardock returns should be at most a year after he left.

Talot considered it for a moment and quickly stopped worrying about it.

At this time, Talot would not know that Bardock would return a full ten years after he left.

And when he returns to his own timeline, it will only take even longer...

……

Staring at Talot, Number 18 still dared not make any rash moves. She wanted to get closer, but her inner unease made her back down.

This man is so powerful that she has no chance against him. Number 17 was killed with a single finger. If she makes any rash moves that anger him, she might also be knocked unconscious with a single finger.

Originally, she approached this person with a cynical attitude, but now she wouldn't dare to be like that anymore.

She was even relieved that the man hadn't attacked her, because she hadn't held back at all.

A bitter feeling welled up in her heart. For her, this time she had finally escaped and was no longer under Dr. Gro's control. They were about to start a new life.

But now things have developed to this point; their supposedly powerful strength is nothing but their own arrogance.

"Take your brother and leave this place."

Seeing that Number 18 remained motionless, Talot roughly guessed that she was afraid, so he gave her a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Number 18 looked bewildered and confused: "How do you know Number 17 is my brother? And why aren't you killing us?"

"How I know this is not important. As for why I didn't kill you, it's because I didn't consider you enemies," Talot said.

"But shouldn't we be enemies? We even attacked you..." Number 18 asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Talot shook his head speechlessly: "You're overthinking it. I've never been the one who considered you as enemies, and you haven't considered these people as enemies either. If you were carrying murderous intent, you would have killed these guys from the very beginning."

The blunt words left Number 18 speechless, unsure how to respond, while the injured soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

They had assumed that since this person had already instantly killed Android 17, these androids were doomed.

However, they were greatly disappointed.

"Although I don't know who you are, I hope you can listen to me, because I am from twenty years in the future. I can tell you clearly that if you let these androids go, then the future world will be destroyed by them." Future Great endured the pain and stepped forward to shout.

These words silenced Vegeta, Piccolo, and Tien Shinhan.

The thought that the future Trunks was too naive arose in their minds. How could they say such a thing directly in front of the enemy?

Most importantly, they had no way of knowing whether this person was friend or foe.

"I know you come from another time and space; there is an aura of that time and space surrounding you." Without directly stating that he knew the original plot, Talot revealed in another way that he knew Trunks' identity.

These words surprised everyone again, and they found Talot's words unbelievable.

Is the aura of time and space intertwined?

How come they can't feel it?

Even the future Da Te was a bit confused, standing there dumbfounded, looking adorably silly.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. Actually, in my timeline, you and I are all friends and comrades. You can call me Tarot. Vegeta, you've probably already figured it out, right? I'm a Saiyan too! It's just that in this timeline, I perished along with Planet Vegeta... Actually, I shouldn't have come to this timeline. I encountered a massive time-space storm on my way back, and had no choice but to descend into this timeline..." Tarot revealed his identity to avoid trouble later.

"What? You're from the future too? No! Impossible. Since you from the past are dead, how could you exist? How could you still be in the future?" Future Future couldn't accept it. He was very smart, but he was confined by his own worldview.

"Your understanding of time and space seems incomplete. Let me guess, do you think that time travel means traveling to the past and the future?" Talot said.

"Isn't that right?" Future Future asked rhetorically.

Talot shook his head and began the teaching mode.

"Of course not! What you've arrived in is simply another parallel universe, except that this universe is currently in the past of your universe..."

"To put it more strictly, the past of your timeline has already happened and cannot be changed! You have come to the present of the past, which is this timeline. It seems like you have returned to the past, but it has nothing to do with your future timeline."

"I suppose you've already noticed some changes in this spacetime caused by your existence."

Having said that, Talot waved his hand.

Instantly, a massive force of spacetime erupted, tearing the void apart with Talot's power.

This scene shocked everyone.

The future Da Te was dumbfounded and gasped.

"I'll take you to the time tunnel, and then you'll know." With that, Talot's lips twitched slightly as he teleported to Future Truman's side and took him into the newly opened time tunnel.

"This...this..." Future Daito was unable to describe his emotions at this moment.

This outrageous experience, this unimaginable supernatural power, completely overturned his past worldview.

Everyone stared in stunned silence until Talot brought him back to where he was, not daring to utter a word.

Even Vegeta wisely kept quiet at this moment.

He now realized that the Saiyan named Talot was far more powerful than he had ever imagined.

"So, everything I've done has been in vain. Even if I change the future of this timeline and prevent it from being destroyed by the androids, there will still be countless parallel timelines that will continue to develop along their original paths..." Future Trunks was so distressed that he had difficulty breathing.

Seeing this, Talot smiled faintly: "You're overthinking it. Whether you come or not, the development of each timeline is different! Perhaps because of your arrival, this timeline will become better, or perhaps it won't. It all depends on how you view these changes."

Upon hearing these words, Future DaTe took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly brightening: "I understand, thank you for your guidance... However, even so, we shouldn't let them go, after all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Talot shook his head slightly: "Don't be too rigid. Like I said, maybe they were villains in your timeline, but they aren't in this timeline. At least, you were the ones who provoked them in the first place, weren't you? They were willing to let you go, but someone still insisted on saving face."

"Tch!!" Vegeta spat upon hearing Tarot's words.

This made everyone look at him with a sense of helplessness.

Indeed, as Tarot said, things wouldn't have gotten to this point if it weren't for Vegeta.

Behind Talot, Number 18 asked Number 16 to help lift Number 17, feeling grateful to Talot.

With so much information, it was hard for her to process it quickly, but she roughly knew what was going on.

That boy and this person both came from other parallel universes. It seems that the boy's future universe was destroyed because of their relationship, so he specially crossed time and space to eliminate them.

Talot, on the other hand, comes from a higher-level parallel universe because he is powerful enough and knows more.

Trunks fell silent, finding himself once again trapped in a dead end from which he could not extricate himself.

Talot knew that the only way to completely rid him of this was to let him experience it, or rather, to help him destroy the androids in his timeline.

Of course, as the original plot unfolds, everything will fall into place once he becomes powerful enough.

All fear and dread stem from one's own lack of strength.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Without saying anything more to Trunks, Talot looked at numbers 18 and 16 behind him.

It would be better for them to leave now, since although his actions have eased the situation considerably, they may still clash over disagreements.

As for where they would go after they left, or what they would do, Talot didn't care.

Even if they are androids, their existence will draw out the future Cell.

Ultimately, Talot was quite interested, but now that he was here, things were different.

In his view, Cell didn't need to become the Perfect form.

"Thank you." Number 18 sincerely thanked them, then nodded to Number 16.

The two left with Number 17, who was still unconscious.

Because Talot was there, everyone here could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

When the androids were no longer in sight, Piccolo approached and asked, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that you intentionally let them go."

It has to be said that Bick's IQ is really high.

Talot nodded and replied, "Indeed! However, I don't have much of an intention. I just want to make a few minor changes to things in your timeline since I've come here."

Bick nodded; he was clearly no longer the Bick of the past.

He is much more mature than Piccolo from Talot's timeline.

After all, the timeline of his timeline is actually ten years before the events of the android arc.

"Eat some Senzu Beans to recover first. After all, there are still things I need to tell you and involve you in." Talot waved his hand, took out Senzu Beans from his personal space, and gave them to everyone.

Actually, there's no need to waste them, because Krillin has already jogged over, and he has Senzu Beans on him.

However, these few Senzu Beans are just a drop in the ocean for Talot.

The others were only slightly surprised that Tarot possessed Senzu Beans, but they quickly accepted it.

After all, this person's strength was so great that it was beyond their imagination, so it wasn't surprising that he had Senzu Beans.

Now, they are more concerned about what Talot will do next, and they need to involve them as well.

After the group had eaten the Senzu Beans and fully recovered from their injuries, Talot revealed the secrets he knew.

While explaining, he naturally led everyone back into the ruins of Dr. Gro's research institute, and then to the secret laboratory hidden underground.

What was initially thought to be just a threat from Androids 17 and 18 has now escalated to a new level, leaving everyone astonished.

Especially regarding the future, he suddenly felt that this change was due to him.

Talot did not refute it, after all, it was indeed his arrival that caused these changes in this spacetime.

Of course, Cell, who came to this timeline, did not come from the future Future Trunks' timeline, so it can be said that it was not his fault.

Talot also indirectly told Future Trunks in the future that Cell should also exist in his future.

Therefore, the future crisis will not only involve Androids 17 and 18.

Having learned everything and understood the whole truth, everyone suddenly realized the truth.

This sudden clarity resolved everyone's doubts and lifted their spirits.

"So, you let those two androids go in order to lure out Cell?" Piccolo asked again.

Now everyone is afraid to ask questions, except for Bick, who dares to initiate conversations.

Of course, Trunks is an exception; he and Talott were discussing something else entirely.

Talot shook his head again: "With my strength, it would be easy to annihilate any being of your era. Even if Cell absorbed Android 17 and 18 and evolved into his perfect form, he would still be no match for me."

He didn't say anything too outrageous, and Talot didn't have a habit of showing off.

His words left everyone even more puzzled.

"So you want Cell to devour Android 17 and 18 to complete his evolution, and then finish them off all at once?" Vegeta couldn't help but interject at this moment.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately tensed up.

After all, they were all very cautious people, and in their view, allowing an enemy to grow was the most foolish thing to do. (End of Chapter)
