Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta
Chapter 287 Reencounter with Number 18
As Dandy's special power flowed into the dragon's model.
The model of the dragon shone with golden light, and then the entire model seemed to come alive, transforming into a golden dragon that soared into the sky.
The dragon's might surged, causing ripples to spread through the space, and the entire Heavenly God Palace trembled under this astonishing dragon's might.
The model of the Dragon God transformed into a golden dragon, then shattered into seven golden rays that scattered to different corners of the earth.
Before long, the Temple of Gods returned to its usual tranquility.
"Is that all? The Dragon Balls are restored?" Bulma leaned closer and asked Dende.
"Theoretically speaking, it should be restored. I also made a small upgrade to Shenron. I need to collect all the Dragon Balls and then summon Shenron to confirm whether my upgrade was successful," Dandy replied obediently.
Hearing this, Bulma blinked even more curiously. What kind of upgrade could Dandy be talking about?
Has the upper limit of Shenron's ability to grant wishes been raised, or... has the number of wishes granted increased?
After all, Polunga of Namek can grant three wishes.
"In that case, let's not delay. Let's go back to the Western Capital to get the Dragon Ball Radar, and then find the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron to test it out," Talot said.
He was also very interested, after all, in his timeline, Earth's dragons had not yet been strengthened.
"Let's go then." As soon as Bulma finished speaking, Talot shook his head slightly.
"Wait for me here. Tell me where the Dragon Ball radar is, and I'll find the Dragon Balls as quickly as possible to save the most time."
Bulma thought this made sense. Since the final wish-granting location would be at Kami's Lookout anyway, instead of going through all that trouble to make the trip, it would be better to stay at Kami's Lookout and wait. After all, with Tarot's abilities, collecting all the Dragon Balls shouldn't take long. So she said, "The Dragon Ball Radar is in the desk drawer of the research lab next to the master bedroom. You should know that, right?"
"If the habits are the same and the arrangement hasn't changed, I should know where you put it. I'll take my leave now, see you in a bit." After Talot finished speaking to Bulma, he nodded to Popo and Dandy. Then, with a thought, he used spatial teleportation again, returning directly from the Temple of the Gods to his home in the Western Capital.
Future Trunks is currently sitting on the sofa, waiting for Talot and Bulma to return.
Upon sensing Talot's presence, Future Trunks was startled and quickly stood up, looking towards the source of the aura.
He smiled after confirming that Talot had returned.
"Mr. Talot, you're back," Future Trunks said to Talot.
"Hmm, you've waited for me here specifically, so there must be something else going on. You can be frank with whatever you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush." Talot noticed Future Trunks's inner turmoil.
Upon hearing this, Future Trunks boldly voiced his thoughts, even bowing respectfully to Talot to express his determination.
"To be honest, I want you to guide me in my training so I can gain power surpassing that of a Super Saiyan!"
"I see. I thought it was something serious. I can tell you're worried. Are you worried that I won't teach you because you spoke rudely to me yesterday? You don't need to think that way. To me, you're still just a junior. And the fact that you have this determination means you already have the idea of becoming stronger and going back to end the chaos of the future! That's great. At least you have the awareness to stand on your own and will become incredibly powerful."
Seeing that Future Trunks' attitude was very sincere, Talot did not make things difficult for him and decided to lend a hand.
After all, the fragmented future world is truly cruel, and it's remarkable that the future Trunks have managed to survive until now.
"I can teach you! But all I can teach you is the method. In my opinion, your best teacher should be your father, Vegeta," Tarot added, seeing Trunks getting excited.
"You mean... that I and my father can train with you and surpass the Super Saiyan level?!" Future Trunks asked doubtfully.
These words caused Talott to look slightly taken aback.
However, it's fine if he thinks that way, since he can indeed give Vegeta some pointers later.
"Training with Vegeta will be twice as effective. With the method I provide, you can train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Inside, one day outside is equivalent to one year inside. If you want to become stronger quickly, that place is the best training ground for you and Vegeta." Tarot revealed the information about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Upon hearing the suggestion, Future Trunks was taken aback.
One day outside is equivalent to one year inside. For those who crave rapid advancement, this is a treasure trove of cultivation! It completely makes up for the time constraint.
If we can increase our power in a very short time, and then return to the future world to defeat the Homunculus and Cell, the crisis in the future world can be resolved.
"Don't be too happy yet. The Mental Time Chamber is not as simple as you think. Not only is the environment inside harsh, but a person can only cultivate inside for two years in their lifetime. Once that time is exceeded, the exit will disappear, and you will be trapped in the other dimension forever. Unless you are powerful enough to tear a gap in the other dimension, you will never be able to get out," Talot said.
Trunks was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; he hadn't expected such a restriction.
"Thank you for your guidance. What should I do next, Uncle Talot?" Future Trunks thanked Talot and then asked, changing his address from "sir" to "uncle".
That kid knows what's good for him and knows how to behave.
"Go find your father, Vegeta, then go to Kami's Lookout. I'll guide you there on how to break through, and then you can enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." With that, Tarot turned and headed towards the laboratory.
Upon hearing this, Trunks immediately began to sense the presence.
He needed to share this news with his father as quickly as possible.
After Trunks left, Tarot found the Dragon Radar and used it to find out the location where the seven Dragon Balls were scattered.
For anyone else, it would take at least several hours to collect all the Dragon Balls in a short period of time.
Just like Sun Wukong searching for the Dragon Balls in the original story.
But for Tarot, who has mastered the power of space, finding the seven Dragon Balls in a short time is a piece of cake.
After determining the direction and distance of the nearest Dragon Ball, Tarot immediately used teleportation to disappear from the room.
……
At this moment, in a suburban park in southern Beijing.
The trio of androids, who were aimlessly wandering through the human city, happened to come here as their place of refuge.
The long period of slumber and the rapid pace of modern society have made them feel uncomfortable. They want to integrate but feel out of place. To fully adapt, they need a long period of reflection.
Just as the three were about to set off for the next town, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in a corner of the park.
All three were drawn to the bead at the same time. As they got closer, Number 18 was the first to spot the glittering bead.
It is an orange sphere with seven orange five-pointed stars embedded inside.
This sphere is the Seven Star Dragon Ball.
"This ball... looks quite special." Android 18 bent down, picked up the Seven Star Dragon Ball, and examined it carefully in his hand.
Her intuition told her that this bead was extraordinary.
Number 17, who was watching from the side, was just about to speak...
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from in front of them.
Talot happened to appear.
The group exchanged glances, staring at each other intently.
"It's you!" Number 17 looked wary, while Number 16 appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he had already prepared for the worst.
"It's the three of you? What a coincidence," Talot said, slightly surprised.
Using teleportation based on the location of the Dragon Balls, I unexpectedly ran into Android 18 and his two companions here. It was quite a coincidence.
Most importantly, the Dragon Balls are currently in Android 18's hands.
Number 18 blinked her beautiful eyes. Although she was extremely surprised by Talot's sudden arrival, she noticed that Talot's gaze was focused on the beads in his hand.
Before she could ask, Talot bluntly asked, "Could you give me the Dragon Ball you have?"
"So this thing is called a Dragon Ball? I knew this ball was something special." Android 18 said, looking at the Seven Star Dragon Ball in his hand.
Tarot appeared here not for them, but for the Dragon Balls.
Although we don't know what the Dragon Balls are, since she has them, that's a different story.
Even though Talot is very powerful, you can't just openly steal him, can you?
She found it first.
"What's the use of these Dragon Balls? Why would someone as important as you come looking for them?" Android 18 asked boldly.
These words made numbers 16 and 17 even more serious.
They were afraid that Talot would get angry because Number 18 asked too many questions.
Their strength absolutely crushes theirs.
When asked by Android 18, Tarot did not shy away from the question and simply explained the origin and function of the Dragon Balls.
Collecting all seven Dragon Balls allows one to summon Shenron and make a wish. He is currently searching for the Dragon Balls and then conducting tests.
Incidentally, it was mentioned that the former Kami fused with Piccolo to become Piccolo, so the Dragon Balls were resurrected by the new Kami.
When Piccolo was mentioned, the three of them quickly recalled their past experiences and recounted them.
Talot was surprised that Piccolo had contacted them.
That guy actually did something like that.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
"So, you can make a wish after collecting all seven Dragon Balls? I never imagined there was such a magical thing in this world." Android 18 was extremely shocked after learning about the function of the Dragon Balls.
The same applies to the 17th.
On the other hand, he knew about Dragon Ball because he had information about it in his database on the 16th, but before he could say anything, Tarot appeared.
"Now, can you give it to me? You can't use this Dragon Ball on your own." Tarot said, then suddenly remembered something and said, "After you collect all seven Dragon Balls, Shenron can grant at least one wish. I remember Dr. Gero planted a super bomb in your bodies. You can use this opportunity to make a wish and have Shenron help you disarm the bomb."
Upon hearing these words, all three were shocked.
They couldn't understand why Talot would give them the opportunity to make a wish.
"Aren't you afraid we'll do something reckless?" Number 17 asked.
Talot shook his head slightly: "Even if you act recklessly, where can you possibly go? Times are constantly changing. I can tell you clearly that the big guys can't beat you right now, but in a few days, your strength will be nothing in front of them."
With a mere eight or nine hundred million combat power, even if Number 16's actual combat power exceeds one billion, all the warriors in this timeline will become stronger under his guidance.
By then, their strength will be negligible.
"Is it that exaggerated? Although we can't beat you, but..." Before Number 18 could finish speaking, Talot interrupted her.
"Actually, Piccolo now has the ability to beat you and Number 17."
Numbers 17 and 18 were incredulous at Talot's bluntness.
Before they could refute, Android 16 said, "Indeed, as he said, the data I investigated is correct. You really can no longer defeat Piccolo after he merges with his original form."
Numbers 17 and 18 remained silent.
For a moment, I felt like my worldview had collapsed.
If Talot hadn't said that, they really would have found it hard to accept.
At least, they have to fight one match before they're willing to admit it.
"Here you go, Dragon Ball. But what you said, you can't be lying, right? Help us... defuse the bomb." Android 18 thought for a moment, then handed the Dragon Ball to Tarot.
Talot nodded: "Of course, this is just a small matter, provided that you don't cause trouble on Earth in the future... I think you won't be like the 17 and 18 from the future timeline of Trunks, indiscriminately killing innocent people just to satisfy your own desires."
When Talot mentioned Trunks' future, Number 17 and Number 18 exchanged a glance.
"We don't know why the future turned out that way. At least, my brother and I never thought of destroying the Earth." Number 18 was a little angry; it was all very inexplicable to them.
Although Number 17 had a cold expression, he wasn't the kind of person who would kill.
"I think it's necessary for us to talk to that future Trunks and learn about us in that future timeline," said Number 17.
"In that case, why don't you come with me? You can make a wish later, and you can also communicate with Trunks. As for Android 16, your goal is Goku, right? That kid will be going to Kami's Lookout soon. At that time, you can end your destiny and start a new life," Tarot suggested.
After Talot's words, the three looked at each other and made their decisions.
They didn't doubt Talot, because he was strong enough to kill them instantly, so there was no need for him to resort to scheming.
After obtaining the three's consent, Tarot led them through a spatial teleportation to find the remaining Dragon Balls.
With a new goal in mind, the three androids were no longer at a loss for what to do. In short, having something to do gave them motivation.
