Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Upon arriving outside, Tarot and Bulma encountered Goku and Gohan.

"Yo~! Bulma." As soon as he arrived, Goku struck his signature greeting gesture.

Son Gohan, who was standing nearby, also greeted them politely. When he noticed Android 17 and Android 18 coming out, he paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and smiled politely.

"You're recovering well! I thought there might be some aftereffects, but it seems the special medicine from the future world is really effective. It's made you feel so energetic so quickly," Bulma teased, seeing how well Goku was recovering.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled憨厚ly, then turned his gaze to Talot, Android 17, and Android 18.

"I've already heard about you from Gohan. I didn't realize the difference between timelines was so great. Thanks to you, we were able to defeat the real enemy lurking in the shadows." Goku greeted Tarot in a friendly manner.

"It was nothing, Kakarot," Tarot said with a smile.

During their first interaction, Number 17 and Number 18 took the opportunity to get a good look at Sun Wukong.

The siblings exchanged a glance, and their thoughts were conveyed to each other.

The gist of it is that, based on the data analysis, Goku, whom Dr. Gero has always wanted revenge on, doesn't seem that strong, and is even weaker than Vegeta, whom they defeated back then.

"Although I really want to challenge you, with my current strength, I'm afraid I can't even beat those two Androids over there." Goku naturally sensed the doubt and contempt from Androids 17 and 18.

He spoke his mind without hiding anything, and although he was somewhat discouraged, he was even more excited inside.

If androids are powerful enough, then it proves that they still have room for improvement.

"No rush. I'll be staying in this world for a long time. You can challenge me when you feel you're strong enough. Also, there's something I need to remind you. Vegeta and Trunks went to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train a little over a day ago, and they should be out soon. If you don't want to fall behind them, you'd better go in and train too, and try to break through to the Super Saiyan level," Tarot reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Goku's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "What?! Vegeta and Trunks have already gone to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train? I was thinking of telling everyone about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after I recovered... In that case, I'll head to Kami's Lookout right now."

The Spiritual Time Chamber is a treasure trove for quickly cultivating and becoming stronger!

One day outside is like a year inside. He believed that, given Vegeta's personality, he would pay any price to become stronger.

In other words, in two years, this guy's strength will definitely increase to a level that even he himself cannot imagine.

He had to go in there to avoid being left behind.

Immediately afterward, Goku hurriedly exchanged a few pleasantries with Tarot and Bulma before leaving with Gohan.

Talot watched them leave, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I wonder what Sun Wukong will think when he sees the completely transformed Vegeta and Trunks?

Vegeta and Future Trunks haven't come out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber yet. He can go over after the father and son come out.

"So? What do you think of Sun Wukong?" Tarot turned around and asked Android 17 and 18.

"Although the data we analyzed was a bit off, it wasn't too far off from what we had in the records. It's worth mentioning that Sun Wukong was indeed a good person, which is somewhat different from what the records say," Number 17 remarked.

"A large portion of the data Dr. Groh implanted in us is false, used to distort our memories. It is estimated that our future selves were affected by these false memories and deeply modified, which is why we are causing destruction everywhere," said Number 18.

Talot nodded slightly as he listened to their conversation.

……

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

At this moment, we are located outside the Temple of the Gods.

Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong had been waiting here for a long time.

During this time, Goku learned about Piccolo and Kami, as well as the impact of Dende's arrival on Earth and the transformation and upgrade of Shenron.

Gohan had learned of Dende's arrival from Bulma the day before yesterday, and the two chatted happily.

Time passed in this waiting.

The moment the Hyperbolic Time Chamber doors opened, Vegeta and Future Trunks exuded their steady and powerful auras.

This fierce aura instantly caught the attention of both Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong.

After finishing their training, Vegeta and Future Trunks walked to the platform of Kami's Lookout and met Goku and Gohan.

Two years of training had caused the martial arts uniforms worn by the father and son to be severely damaged.

If Bobo hadn't prepared a lot of clothes inside, they wouldn't have any clothes to wear at this point.

Destined rivals, Goku and Vegeta locked eyes. At this moment, in terms of sheer presence, Vegeta undoubtedly held the upper hand.

After two years of brutal training, Vegeta's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be. In fact, it could be said that he is now as powerful as he was during the Majin Buu Saga seven years after the original manga.

Even the Perfect Cell from the original manga—no! Even Lightning Cell—couldn't last more than a few rounds against Vegeta.

"Looks like you've recovered quite well, Kakarot." After a brief exchange of glances, Vegeta broke the heavy atmosphere with a devilish smile.

With his keen eye, he had already discerned Sun Wukong's current level.

too weak!

"It seems your training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber has improved your skills quite a bit, Vegeta." Goku could sense how strong Vegeta was before him; he was no longer comparable to him.

Whether it's his aura, physical strength, or spirit, Vegeta is far, far stronger than he is now.

"Hmph... If you want to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, then go ahead. But before you do, I must remind you that I have already surpassed the limits of a Super Saiyan. Even if you finish your training, you may not be my match." Vegeta said arrogantly.

This statement reveals just how confident Vegeta is right now.

With his overwhelming power, he regained the dignity that belonged to the Saiyan prince.

Sun Wukong was no longer of any interest to him. Even though the other party had greatly increased his strength through the cultivation in the Spiritual Time Chamber, he was still confident that he could crush Sun Wukong.

He's the prince of the Saiyans! Once he surpasses you, don't even think about overtaking him again so easily!

"It seems your power has increased even more than I imagined, but it's too early to draw conclusions, Vegeta." Goku knew Vegeta was very strong, but he wouldn't admit defeat.

"I hope so." Vegeta didn't intend to get entangled with Goku any further; he had more important things to do now.

Vegeta turned to look at Future Trunks beside him, gesturing with his eyes.

During the two years of companionship-based training, the father and son became very familiar with each other. They didn't need any verbal communication; a single glance was enough for them to understand each other.

Future Trunks turned around and retrieved the universal capsule that he had entrusted to God Servant Popo for safekeeping before he began his cultivation.

This contains their clothing and supplies.

This was also prepared by Bulma; she left some as spares outside, otherwise, if they were all used up inside, there wouldn't be any left.

Vegeta and Future Trunks changed into their battle suits right in front of everyone.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was already impatient.

However, we still need to wait a little longer before we can go in to cultivate.

The supplies in the Spirit Time Chamber have been completely used up, and Bobo needs to rearrange them first.

……

Western capital.

Talot's side.

Tarot, who was meditating to recover, sensed the presence of Vegeta and Future Trunks and awoke from his meditative state.

"They've finally come out. Interesting. Reaching this level under my guidance is quite impressive." Tarot's lips curled up as he assessed Vegeta and Future Trunks' current strength.

Under his deliberate guidance, Vegeta and Future Trunks progressed far more than in the original story.

After getting up and greeting Bulma, Android 17, and Android 18, Tarot used his teleportation ability to arrive at the platform of Kami's Lookout.

His sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

At this moment, Vegeta and Future Trunks had finished changing their clothes and were looking at each other.

"Uncle Talot, you've arrived." Future Trunks greeted Talot respectfully as he approached him.

Thanks to Tarot's guidance, he and his father were able to undergo a complete transformation and master power surpassing that of a Super Saiyan!

"It seems that you and Vegeta have made good progress in your training. You have already mastered the power of Super Saiyan 2." Tarot said, his gaze sweeping over Future Trunks.

Their combat power under normal circumstances has already reached 10 billion.

With this level of strength, she could easily defeat Android 17 and 18 without even needing to transform.

As for Vegeta... his progress has exceeded Tarot's expectations.

His aura, in terms of both intensity and power, far surpasses that of Trunks.

My previous perception was somewhat wrong; based on my close-up observation, the number is at least around 20 billion.

It seems that the impact I had on him two days ago was far greater than I had imagined.

At this moment, Vegeta's eyes were filled with burning flames as he looked at Tarot.

His strength has indeed improved a lot, but what he wants to know more is just how big the gap is between himself and Talot.

Despite knowing he was no match for Talot, he still wanted to fight him.

After sensing Vegeta's fighting spirit, Tarot met Vegeta's gaze.

Their eyes met, and the unspoken tension between them made the atmosphere in the temple incredibly oppressive.

"Do you want to fight me, Vegeta?" Tarot said with a calm smile.

Vegeta clenched his fist, showing Tarot his answer through his actions.

"It seems so." Tarot did not refuse and accepted Vegeta's challenge.

The two reached an agreement and slowly ascended into the air, stopping a hundred meters above the Temple of the Gods.

"Dad really is going to challenge Uncle Talot after all." Future Trunks gazed at the sky above the Temple of God and took a deep breath.

Even though he knew his father couldn't win, he was still looking forward to seeing how the battle would end.

Being no match for someone and being able to fight Talot are two different things.

"I wonder just how much Vegeta's power has increased?" Goku's expression also became excited.

Witnessing Vegeta and Tarot's battle before entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will give him more insights.

This will be of great benefit to his upcoming cultivation in the Spirit Time Chamber!

This is also a good opportunity to see what kind of power surpasses that of a Super Saiyan.

……

Above the Temple of Heaven.

Tarot and Vegeta locked eyes.

At this moment, Tarot took out virtual glasses from his storage space and put them on to monitor Vegeta's combat power in real time.

Vegeta didn't say anything, and directly and unleashed all his normal fighting power without restraint.

At this moment, his fierce aura swept across the sky like a torrent.

"Is this your full power now? Not bad, your combat strength is already 22 billion." Talot said, looking at the data displayed on the virtual glasses.

"22 billion? I didn't expect someone like you to care about numbers. But you'd better not believe too much in numbers. The strength of us Saiyans cannot be measured by mere numbers," Vegeta said with a cold and arrogant expression, indirectly giving Tarot a warning.

Upon hearing this, Talot smiled, took off his virtual reality glasses, and put them back into his storage space.

He simply looks at the specific values ​​and then makes a more accurate judgment.

Use countless experiences to determine whether your perception is accurate enough.

"You're right, numbers are outdated. The level of combat power changes constantly depending on the situation in battle, so there's no point in saying more. Let's fight, Vegeta," Tarot said.

Vegeta was waiting for this very sentence.

Almost the instant Tarot finished speaking, Vegeta directly activated the Super Saiyan Stage 1 energy pool within his body.

"Splash! Splash!"

Golden flames surged from Vegeta's feet, engulfing his entire body. In an instant, an incomparably terrifying aura tore through the sky and enveloped Kami's Palace.

Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan 1 at full power.

The entire transformation process was completed in one go, which shows how proficient he was in mastering this transformation.

However, in Talot's opinion, his control over power still had many flaws. Although the amount of aura leaked during transformation was not large, it was not small either.

"Super Saiyan 1st stage full power state, not bad, but this should not be your full strength yet," Talot said.

"Don't rush me, you'll have to give me time to adjust. You'll soon witness my true power." Vegeta smiled confidently, then a glint flashed in his eyes, and the overwhelming aura of his Super Saiyan 1st stage full power pressed down on Tarot.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure, even Sun Wukong below would probably lose his ability to fight immediately.

But to Talot, this level of aura impact was nothing more than a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning. (End of Chapter)
