Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Although Trunks remained in the future, the troubles have been resolved, and things are ultimately moving in a positive direction.

Bulma prepared a celebratory feast, intending to reward everyone properly.

Unfortunately, the future Trunks isn't here.

The servants under his command kept bringing out delicious dishes from the kitchen.

Beerus, the God of Destruction, and Whis, the Angel, had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

As gluttons, Goku and Vegeta seemed to have completely forgotten how badly they had been beaten in the future timeline, and immediately went into a whirlwind attack mode.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, about three months have passed since Talot resolved the chaos caused by the dark people in the future timeline.

During these three months, everything seemed incredibly peaceful.

Everyone returned to their daily lives.

Of course, during this time, although the Earth was calm, some interesting things also happened.

For example, when Goku asked Whis to hire Hit, an assassin from Universe 6, to kill him, he was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, he had a backup plan and managed to save himself in time.

In the end, Sun Wukong naturally cracked Hit's assassin techniques and confessed that he had hired Hit to assassinate him.

At this point, Hit's understanding of Sun Wukong was refreshed once again, and a special friendship was unknowingly established between the two.

In addition, another match was held between Universe 6 and Universe 7.

However, this competition was not a martial arts tournament, but a baseball game.

A baseball team, led by two cosmic destroyers, embarks on a baseball game that defies common sense.

Talot was also present when the match started, but he came with the intention of watching a good show.

Everyone present who played baseball knew nothing about the rules of baseball except for Yamcha.

Yamcha thought this was a match where he could show off his skills and impress the God of Destruction, but the ensuing chaos left him questioning his existence.

First, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan Blue and threw a baseball, almost killing his own son, Gohan, in a moment of selflessness.

Then came the absurd and outrageous maneuvers: stealing the baseball with a flying technique and changing its position with a ki blast.

In the face of these people, the rules of baseball are not the rules at all being manipulated.

The final decisive game was even more outrageous.

Vegeta unleashed his ultimate attack, the Final Flash, to assist Goku in bombarding him with a baseball, nearly obliterating the entire Earth.

Talot remained a bystander throughout, barely suppressing his laughter.

Sometimes, relaxing a bit and watching interesting programs like this is a different kind of spiritual practice for him.

After the baseball game ended, everyone's life returned to normal once again.

Sun Wukong is either training or training. Currently, his Super Saiyan Blue form has reached its peak and he is not far from reaching the third stage of Super Saiyan Blue.

At least he had Talot's guidance; if he still hasn't made any progress, then he's doomed.

Vegeta, Goku's rival, was naturally no less skilled, having also mastered Super Saiyan Blue to its ultimate peak.

As for Talot, he remained in this world according to his agreement with the High Priest.

To put it bluntly, Talot had a pretty good idea of ​​why the High Priest had kept him here.

Although it hasn't happened yet, it's coming soon.

……

this day.

Talot is attempting to push his limits further and achieve true mastery of Ultra Instinct.

However, reality was far crueler than he had imagined.

Having already mastered the Ultimate Technique of Self, the difficulty of mastering the Ultra Instinct Technique of Freedom is far greater than that of mastering a single Divine Guard skill.

Moreover, these are two conflicting divine control techniques. No matter how extraordinary Talot's talent is, he still needs time to mature and external factors and opportunities to master both Freedom Ultimate and Self Ultimate at the same time.

Without encountering a fortuitous opportunity, Talot would likely remain stuck at this level, accumulating power over time, and finally achieving a breakthrough in the coming years, or even decades, through sheer hard work and perseverance.

"Phew!" Talot, who was cultivating, suddenly let out a long breath.

A white aura of divine power was emanating from his body.

These scorching divine powers, like droplets of water, swirled around his body; this form was the state of Ultimate Freedom: Sign.

"No matter how hard I try, even with almost selfless in-depth research, I've only managed to cultivate Ultra Instinct to the level of a 'trillion.' I'm afraid it's impossible to reach the pinnacle in a short time," Talot muttered to himself.

Although he was full of confidence in his potential, the feeling of being unable to make any progress this time also put Talot under great pressure.

To achieve a breakthrough, one must have sufficient opportunity or a strong external stimulus.

Moreover, this external force must be absolutely pure and powerful mortal power, without any trace of divine power mixed in.

"Could it be that only he can help me break through?" Talot thought of a super bald man with extremely powerful strength.

During the original Tournament of Power, Jiren Gray, the strongest warrior of Universe 11, demonstrated absolutely formidable human strength.

That power was so astonishing that even the gods were amazed by it, and even Beerus, the God of Destruction, praised it highly.

Talot then focused his attention on Jiren.

If I could fight Jiren, I might be able to learn something from him and achieve a further breakthrough.

It could even trigger a chain reaction, allowing him to break through to Super Saiyan 5!

But this is just speculation.

After all, Jiren's strength is conservatively estimated to be around the tenth dimension, with the eleventh dimension being the absolute limit.

Even a being as powerful as Ultimate Zamasu, an eleventh-dimensional being, was instantly killed by him. A mere gray Jiren could only play around with him at best.

Unless, some astonishing change has occurred in this timeline, causing Jiren's power to increase explosively.

He's become even stronger than in the original story!

But these things are just thoughts for now. Unless the Tournament of Power begins, he will have to personally travel to Universe 11 if he wants to see Jiren.

Whether he will go to the eleventh universe is another matter. Even if he does go, he might be kicked out. Even with a residence permit granted by the Grand Priest, he is not a person from the eleventh universe.

Given the current situation, we can only let things take their course and wait for the conference of powers to convene.

And judging by the time, it should be about time.

Just as Talot was lost in thought, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space.

Talott sensed something amiss in the space behind him and turned to look.

The newcomer was none other than Sun Wukong.

"Kakarot?" Tarot exclaimed instinctively.

He immediately understood; he hadn't expected the opportunity to arrive so quickly.

"Long time no see, Tarot. I hope I haven't bothered you? Hehe." Sun Wukong asked tentatively.

Talot could tell at a glance that he was acting guilty.

"Although I don't exist in this time and space world, you don't need to hide anything from me. Tell me, Kakarot, what's making you look so flustered?" Tarot asked, getting straight to the point.

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Sun Wukong smiled awkwardly and then stopped hiding his intentions, revealing the purpose of his trip in detail.

After some explanation, Talot understood the whole story.

Sun Wukong had indeed come to invite him to the Tournament of Power.

Good heavens! I was just wondering when the Tournament of Power would be held so I could meet Jiren from Universe 11, and now I have news.

It has to be said that this was exactly what he wanted.

"Alright, I'll participate in this tournament, but I have to remind you, Kakarot, when you invite others to this Tournament of Power, you'd better not hide anything from them. Doing so will only make everyone distrust you more and make things worse." Tarot agreed to participate in this tournament that concerns the survival of the universe and kindly reminded Goku of this.

In this timeline, Sun Wukong's brain is usually quite dull; it only starts working during battles.

If he were to try to deceive others, his deception would be immediately exposed, and he would get into a lot of trouble.

"Tarot, do you mean I should just go and tell everyone the truth about the Tournament of Power? Wouldn't that be... not a good idea, after all..." Upon hearing this, Goku hesitated, his body trembling slightly.

After all, the whole story of the Tournament of Power started because of him. If it weren't for his careless conversation with Zeno during the last match against Universe 6, and his mention of the Tournament of Power, the destruction of the universe wouldn't have happened.

Sun Wukong was a little scared, worried that everyone would blame him after they found out the truth.

Tarot was amused by this scene. Even the fearless Sun Wukong was now showing signs of fear.

"Sometimes, deliberately concealing things will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also backfire. Do you want everyone to continue to trust you and fight alongside you, or do you want everyone to fight alongside you with suspicion towards you?" Tarot saw through Sun Wukong's concerns and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong froze on the spot. After pondering for a long time, he nodded solemnly.

Talot is right. If partners are suspicious of each other, then they are no longer partners.

Since a problem has arisen, let's face it together.

"I understand, I will explain the situation to everyone," Sun Wukong promised.

He then spoke with Talot for a while, informing him of the time of the Tournament of Power, before using teleportation to leave the area and gather others to participate in the tournament.

As Tarot watched Sun Wukong leave, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I wonder how strong you are, Jiren, as the number one person of this era in the original story," Tarot muttered to himself.

……

Time flies, and soon the day of the Tournament of Power will arrive.

On Bulma's balcony.

All the warriors representing Universe 7 were present: Tarot, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Master Roshi, Android 17, Android 18, and Tien Shinhan.

The lineup is largely the same as the one participating in the Tournament of Power in the original work, except that Talot replaced Frieza because of him.

Ultimately, there was no chance to clear Frieza's name.

Ten people gathered together, forming a circle, ready to perform the final teleportation ceremony.

Angel Weiss made contact with the High Priest in the Realm of Nothingness through the Angel's Scepter.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious spatial force enveloped everyone, and a peculiar feeling enveloped everyone except Talot.

Talot had no interest in this, because he had already mastered spatial power to a certain degree, and this was just the most basic spatial transfer, which he could also do.

"Buzz~! !" With a flash of white light, everyone on the balcony was teleported back to the Boundless Realm.

Bulma watched the group leave and said, "Everyone! I'm counting on you!"

……

The Boundary of Nothingness.

A giant, top-shaped arena suspended at the center of chaos.

At this moment, contestants from six universes have arrived at the Realm of Nothingness, with only the seventh and eleventh universes remaining.

Time is not in a hurry, because the arena is not yet fully repaired.

Evan, the God of Destruction of Universe 1; Rigid, the God of Destruction of Universe 8; and Arak, the God of Destruction of Universe 5, are repairing the Tournament of Power arena.

Previously, following the High Priest's instructions, they tested the sturdiness of the arena, and almost destroyed it. The High Priest then ordered these Gods of Destruction to repair the arena as well.

The Gods of Destruction, who are only good at destruction, are not very familiar with repair, but fortunately they have some ability of their own.

The arena will soon be restored to its original state.

"Buzz~!!!" In a secluded corner of the arena.

Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7, and Whis, the Angel, along with the ten contestants representing Universe 7, have arrived.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of other universes.

After all, in the eyes of other universes, Universe 7 is the culprit behind this Tournament of Power, and also the target of their hatred.

【The Realm of Nothingness? This Realm of Nothingness... seems... a bit off.】 Talot crossed his arms and expanded his senses to encompass the entire Realm of Nothingness.

It would have been fine if he hadn't sensed it, but once he did, he was stunned in disbelief.

His previous battle with Beerus took him to the Realm of Nothingness, and he even managed to break through it.

Logically, one should be able to sense some of the energy left behind by him and Beerus in this realm of nothingness, but there is not a trace of it left.

So, this Realm of Nothingness is not the Realm of Nothingness he went to when he fought Beerus?

Could it be that there isn't just one Realm of Nothingness in a single spacetime world?

The Realm of Nothingness he went to during his battle with Beerus was another Realm of Nothingness, and this Realm of Nothingness was ruled by the Grand Priest! (End of Chapter)
