Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Talot stared calmly at Bick.

"If you have time, go back to your hometown. The answer you seek is on Namek," Talot said after a moment of contemplation.

He didn't directly reveal the power of the Dragon God, but instead pointed Piccolo in a direction.

"Namek?!" After learning that the answer to becoming stronger lay in his home planet, Piccolo's mind raced, and he fell into deep thought.

"Yes, remember to reunite with the god Piccolo before you go back! After all, he doesn't have much time left to live, and if he dies, you will die too," Talot reminded him again.

This is inevitable and cannot be easily changed.

Unless, by force, life is extended.

Bick opened his mouth after hearing this, but then fell silent.

He strongly resisted reuniting with the god Piccolo, but as Talot said, if he didn't do it, death would be his only fate.

What our times need are even stronger warriors.

If he stagnates, he will be completely eliminated.

"I understand, thank you very much..." Bick took a deep breath and calmed his agitated heart.

Then he turned his gaze to the battle between Vegeta and Cell in front of him.

Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Future Trunks all developed special emotions because of this conversation.

Unexpectedly, the god's lifespan was already limited, and he was about to die.

In this way, there is indeed no other choice but to merge into one.

……

On the battlefield at this moment.

The hand-to-hand combat between Cell and Vegeta intensified, their passionate collisions creating thunderous booms throughout the space.

Vegeta's powerful attacks continued relentlessly, but compared to his previous attacks, the intensity and speed of his attacks were clearly weakened, making it impossible for him to directly confront Cell.

Under the onslaught, Vegeta did gain an advantage with the Prince's Technique, but the consumption was too great and could not be sustained.

Cell now completely manipulates Vegeta, his face filled with a sinister smile.

[It seems this is Vegeta's limit. If I can completely devour his life essence, my strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap, and there might even be unexpected surprises.] Cell had the idea of ​​ending the battle and devouring Vegeta.

Furthermore, his intuition told him that eating Vegeta might not lead to evolution, but it would definitely greatly enhance his strength.

He might even use this opportunity to undergo a new transformation.

If he absorbs Android 17 and Android 18, he can evolve to be even more perfect and powerful.

"Damn it! Die!!" Vegeta roared angrily, his fist, enveloped in golden energy, was swung out with tremendous force, carrying the ultimate destructive power to shatter everything, and slammed towards Cell's face.

Cell did not dodge, but crossed his arms to forcefully block the powerful blow.

A loud bang!

Cell's body flew backwards, gliding through the air for more than ten meters before he could barely regain his balance.

Vegeta's punch was incredibly powerful. Although Cell blocked the attack, the residual force still made his arm go numb.

"Hehehe... Vegeta, you'll be a good morsel." Cell greedily licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, as he plotted how to devour Vegeta.

"Aaaaaahh ...

He kept gathering his energy, and judging from his posture, he was about to launch a fatal attack.

"Die!! Cell!!" With a roar, Vegeta's hands moved rapidly, and a barrage of energy blasts rained down on Cell's position like a storm.

Faced with this barrage of energy projectiles, even someone as powerful as Cell could only avoid its attacks.

"What an incredible madman! Once he enters battle mode, he will utterly defeat his opponent without mercy until they are completely exhausted. But that is also your fatal weakness, Vegeta." As the holder of Vegeta's cells, Cell knew Vegeta's weakness very well.

So what if you're strong? As long as I can get past your period of dominance, you'll still be at my mercy afterward.

As long as those guys don't cause trouble, Vegeta's fate is already sealed.

Cell's ghostly figure weaved through space, his sinister movements deftly and effortlessly avoiding all of Vegeta's energy bombardments.

These attacks may seem terrifying, but they are actually completely useless.

No matter how powerful the attack, it's useless if it misses the opponent.

Vegeta also noticed this.

"Damn it, since you can run so fast, I'll tear you to shreds!" With all his attacks ineffective, Vegeta's anger surged. He stopped his energy blast attack and transformed into a golden ball of light once again, traversing space and crashing into Cell.

"How long can you keep up your stamina, Vegeta? I've had enough of this game." Cell grinned sinisterly, unleashing his own power as he charged towards Vegeta.

"Boom!" The moment the two collided, the entire world trembled violently.

The powerful storm generated by the fierce battle between the two swept in all directions, impacting the surrounding space. Everything within a radius of dozens of miles was destroyed by this destructive force, and the entire town had long since turned into ruins.

On the surface, the two seem to be evenly matched in strength, but anyone with eyes can see that Vegeta has actually reached his limit.

The intense battles that followed had exhausted most of his physical strength.

Soon, when Vegeta is completely exhausted, Cell will launch his counterattack.

The few people outside the battlefield witnessed this scene, but were helpless to do anything about it.

Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Future Future Trunks all know Vegeta's personality perfectly well: even if he dies in battle, he will never accept help from anyone.

If they were to suddenly step in to help Vegeta fight Cell at this moment, Cell would not only be ungrateful, but would even go berserk and attack them as well.

Unfortunately, they could only wait until Vegeta was defeated before making a decision.

……

This brutal hand-to-hand combat lasted for more than half a minute.

As Cell launched his counterattack, the situation reversed, and the scales of victory began to tip in Cell's favor.

"What's wrong? Is this all the power you have? It seems I had too high expectations of you, Vegeta." Cell's counterattack was incredibly fierce, each attack was extremely unpredictable, specifically targeting Vegeta's weak points.

Vegeta, who was always so powerful, had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately changed his fighting style and chose to trade blows with Cell, risking his life for his own.

Just as Vegeta was about to launch another attack, Cell vanished from his spot like a phantom.

"What?!" Vegeta's mind trembled as his attack missed. Before he could expand his senses to lock onto Cell's location, a chill swept over him from behind.

A muffled thud!

Cell's relentless kick landed squarely on Vegeta's back.

An irresistible force swept over Vegeta's entire body, and in an instant, his body was blasted into the air like a cannonball, thousands of meters high.

"Damn it!!" A heart-wrenching pain shot through his back, causing Vegeta's face to contort and his whole body to grimace in agony.

Fortunately, he had been training his body under high stress for many years, and this time he recovered from serious injury and his strength increased greatly. Otherwise, Cell's attack would have been enough to paralyze him.

Despite the excruciating pain in his back, Vegeta unleashed his ki to forcefully regain control of his body, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for Cell's whereabouts.

However, Cell had already silently appeared behind him.

"What are you looking at, you idiot?" Cell's cold laughter came from behind Vegeta.

【Oh no!!!】 A strong sense of crisis swept over Vegeta, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively turned his head to look, only to be met with Cell's fist.

A series of startling muffled thuds rang out.

This powerful blow struck Vegeta squarely on the back of the neck.

Vegeta, having suffered another devastating blow, crashed into the earth like a meteorite.

In an instant, dust and smoke rose up, and rocks flew everywhere.

A large crater has formed at the site of Vegeta's impact.

Vegeta, who was severely injured, was on the verge of death, breathing more gasps than breaths.

The Super Saiyan 1st stage transformation state can no longer be maintained.

"Hehehehe~~!! Your energy!! It's mine!! Vegeta!!" Cell laughed wildly as he swooped down from the sky towards Vegeta's location.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately realized that something was terribly wrong; at their current speed, they simply couldn't make it in time!

Vegeta... is doomed!

"Dad!!" Future Trunks was desperate to save his father, and without hesitation, he immediately transformed into Super Saiyan 1 and charged towards Cell at full speed.

But at his speed, he was no match for Cell.

At this moment, Cell was only a meter away from Vegeta, and his tail was like a poisonous needle, piercing towards Vegeta's heart.

At this critical moment, Talot made a move.

He simply took a step forward, and an invisible spatial force teleported him to Vegeta's side, where he grabbed Cell's tail, which he used to absorb energy.

"What?!" The sudden appearance of Talot caught Cell off guard.

Before he could react, Talot grabbed him and slammed him to the ground.

"You...you!!" Sharu, lying on the ground, looked at Talot with a face full of terror.

He had no information about this person, but the ability the other party had just displayed, and that domineering and unparalleled power, made him question his own existence.

Forced to flee, Sharu planned to escape, but how could Talot allow him to?

Talot placed one foot directly on Cell's tail, looking down at Cell from above.

"We can fight, but if you want to absorb Vegeta, I can't just stand by and do nothing," Tarot said.

The next second, he raised his right hand and aimed it at Cell, who was struggling at his feet.

An invisible force of destruction gathered in his palm. At that moment, Cell's insect instincts sensed a deadly threat, and he began to writhe violently as if he had gone mad.

"No!! Let me go!! Please let me go!!" The sense of impending death was so intense that Cell disregarded his dignity and began to beg Talot for mercy.

However, Talot ignored his pleas for mercy, and the destructive power gathering in his palm took shape at that moment.

"Destruction." With that word, an invisible force of destruction began to act on Cell's body.

"Ugh... Ahh ...

His body was enveloped in a purple light, and his entire body disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a sky full of purple light and dissipating into space.

Under the destructive force, Cell was completely destroyed, not a single cell remained.

It was precisely because of this guy's unique nature that Talot resorted to destruction, completely eliminating any possibility of Cell's survival.

Future Trunks and the others arrived late, and after witnessing Talot kill Cell so easily, they felt a chill run down their spines.

That's incredibly powerful.

Especially that move just now, what was it?

Even a terrifying being as powerful as Cell was defeated in a single move!

Vegeta, who was lying on the verge of death in the deep pit, was the one who was most affected by the shock.

Although he was left partially paralyzed, he was still conscious and could sense the surrounding battle situation through his perception. He could also sense Cell's disappearance of his aura.

This guy who tainted Saiyan blood wasn't executed by him, the Saiyan prince, but killed by Tarot, a Saiyan from another timeline.

As the Saiyan prince, he felt utterly humiliated.

After killing Cell, Tarot turned his gaze to Vegeta, who was struggling to get up from the pit.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see Vegeta's emotional fluctuations at that moment.

Does he hate himself?

Do not!

There was also jealousy in his eyes.

"What a sorry sight. If you were in my world, you could kill Cell with a single finger. And you, you've only just reached the first stage of Super Saiyan 1." Tarot's casual remark struck a chord with Vegeta in this world.

However, Vegeta and Future Trunks heard crucial news.

Super Saiyan Stage 1, First Phase?!

Could it be that there are even more powerful transformations beyond Super Saiyan?

……

Talot didn't say anything more, but looked up at the sky.

The direction of the Temple of the Gods has been constantly emanating spiritual energy for observation.

Of course, he wouldn't care.

Because Vegeta was seriously injured, Tarot didn't take out any Senzu Beans this time; instead, Krillin took out the Senzu Beans he had and gave them to Vegeta.

As the Senzu Bean entered his stomach, Vegeta suddenly opened his eyes.

And it has been fully revived once again!

The Saiyan traits erupted once more, though not by much, but still an improvement; at least, Vegeta's base stats now reached 1200 million points. (End of Chapter)
