Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

To restore the erased universe and bring everything back to the time before the Tournament of Power.

The process of making a wish begins with the Omni-King's desire-inducing influence, and finally culminates in the High Priest making the wish.

As a time traveler, how could Talot not know that this wish had already been made?

And this should also be the High Priest's test for him.

To test his character, to test his integrity, and even more so, to test his heart.

To put it bluntly, Tarot really doesn't have any particular wishes that he wants to fulfill. And even if he did have a wish that required Shenron's help to achieve, he could simply find the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to make his wish himself.

Even though it's difficult to summon this super dragon, since he doesn't understand the language of the gods yet, learning the language of the gods is actually quite simple.

Having reached this level of strength, all I've gained is the ability to transform certain special information into my own memories, allowing me to access and use it at will.

To be honest, Talot was really curious about how the High Priest made that wish.

Of course, he wouldn't care, since the difference wouldn't be too great. It would just involve the other six universes that were erased by Zeno.

After all, the Dragon Ball world originally consisted of eighteen universes.

Of course, this is also the case in this era.

One thing is certain: billions of years before this era, there must have been a previous cycle of reincarnation.

And so, the seven universes that had been erased were completely restored through the power of the Super Dragon's will.

Everything was restored to its original state, and all life was resurrected.

This situation is utterly perplexing to all beings, both human and divine, throughout the universe.

However, people and gods soon realized that they had all been resurrected by Talot using the dragon's wish.

……

The Tournament of Power has officially ended.

Back to Earth in Universe Seven.

Upon their victorious return, Bulma had already prepared a celebratory banquet to entertain everyone.

It must be said that the warriors participating in the Tournament of Power were under immense pressure.

As for their relatives and companions on Earth, they were equally worried, fearing that they might be wiped out in an instant without their knowledge.

Now that the results are in and the details are known, all the pent-up negative emotions have dissipated, and the gloom has been completely dispelled.

Enjoying the wonderful post-war period and savoring delicious food.

The battles between Saiyans are not just about fighting; they also compete in terms of food.

Especially for Goku and Vegeta in this timeline, they are far inferior to Tarot in terms of strength, but when it comes to eating, they are absolutely unwilling to fall behind and want to crush Tarot in this aspect to find a sense of existence.

The others were both amused and exasperated by Goku and Vegeta's outburst, feeling it was completely unnecessary, but no one dared to stop them.

After all, they were family and friends. After Talot arrived in this world, he helped this world and most of the people present, even resolving so many crises, and finally won the Tournament of Power, saving Universe 7...

But ultimately, Talot is not a person from this time and space.

Despite his strength and his reliability, he still couldn't escape his alienation as an outsider.

He has no family in this world.

In fact, Talot himself also felt this awkwardness.

He had already experienced this some time ago.

To alleviate this situation, he would go to his personal space world to see Bulma and Android 18, whom he had taken as his wife since the Android era.

However, even this cannot completely alleviate the feeling.

Ultimately, if it weren't for the High Priest's instructions, he would never have stayed to participate in the Tournament of Power.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of longing for Serari and Bulma from his own timeline, as well as his daughter Tarora and his newborn son Talos.

I wonder how they are now? And how much time has passed.

Since coming into contact with different time-space worlds, Talot realized that the flow of time in each world is different, either fast or slow. After he left, it did not mean that time in his world would stand still, nor did it mean that he could truly travel back to the time after he left.

To truly transcend time, at least for the current Talot, it's impossible.

If what Weiss had told him before is true, then if he leaves for a short time, he won't be gone for long either.

But so much time has passed since then, and he has traveled to four parallel universes.

I'm afraid at least several years have passed in his world...

At this moment, Talot would not know that the time he sent Bardock back was already ten years after he left.

Now, another period of time has passed. Although it seems like a short time to Talot, many years have passed in his own timeline.

"It's time for me to go back to my world. Even if I can't avoid traveling through time and space again in the future, that's a matter for later." Talot sighed inwardly as he ate his roast suckling pig.

No one else noticed his change, except for one person: the angel Vis.

He knew that Talot's consciousness had drifted away from the world.

Once a person undergoes a significant change, no matter how well they conceal it, it can still be seen through by a powerful being.

After enjoying the delicious food, everyone continued to chat in the courtyard, recounting the details of the power tournament.

Talot leaned back alone on a deck chair by the pool, contemplating life.

No one disturbed them, because everyone had so much to say to each other.

Of course, some people are interested in Tarot, such as Beerus the God of Destruction and Whis the Angel.

They then went to lie down next to Talot, seemingly to enjoy the sun, but actually to actively communicate with Talot.

"Talot, kid, thank you so much for fighting such a brilliant battle for me this time," Beerus said, shaking a juice bottle in his hand.

The words were not perfunctory; on the contrary, they were very solemn and serious.

During the earlier break, Whis reminded Beerus that Talot might be planning to leave, so Beerus came over to say this because he was afraid that there would be no more opportunities in the future.

He's the type who's not good at expressing himself; after all, as the strongest God of Destruction, he's not good at saying nice things.

"No, you don't need to thank me. After all, I chose to fight this battle myself... Besides, although I didn't perfect that realm in this battle, I did reach the fifth stage of Super Saiyan." Talot said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Beerus sighed softly.

He knew Talot would say that.

However, that is the truth.

The atmosphere immediately turned cold.

Much later, Weiss finally took the initiative to ask Talott about his next plans.

It was this question that led Talot to guess that he and Beerus already knew his next plan.

With a slight smile, Talot raised his head and gazed at the sky, saying in the calmest tone, "I don't belong to this world. Now that the crisis in this world has been resolved... at least, nothing unexpected will happen for the time being. So, it's time for me to go back to my world, after all, my family is there."

Upon hearing this, Whis and Beerus exchanged a glance.

Although it was something I had already anticipated, hearing it with my own ears still made me feel a little melancholy.

In fact, putting aside others, Beerus and Whis in this timeline have already regarded Talot as a part of the seventh universe in this timeline.

"It's a pity that you don't exist in this timeline, otherwise it would be more interesting." Beerus changed the subject, not mentioning the separation, and concealed his sadness.

"Yes, if you existed in this timeline, I think Lord Beerus would also groom you as a candidate for God of Destruction," Whis said with a smile.

Talot did not respond to what the two were saying.

Actually, he had wanted to say for a long time that he was not a candidate for God of Destruction.

Beerus didn't mentor him at all.

Ultimately, Weiss probably knew some of the inside story, but he just didn't express it.

Or rather, Whis hoped that he could inherit Beerus's mantle.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

Because today's day is so special, and we have just experienced a life-or-death power struggle, no one left early.

Everyone enjoyed dinner together, followed by a bonfire party and performances specially arranged by Bulma.

To be honest, it does have some merit.

Talot was also immersed in it, which was one of his last deep interactions with this group of people from the original time-travel story.

The atmosphere didn't quiet down until the party ended.

The reason is simple: Talot is leaving.

With Whis and Beerus's intentional or unintentional hints, even the most obtuse person could sense that Talot was about to leave.

Talot, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention and was kept in the dark.

He had originally planned to leave without saying goodbye.

Little did anyone expect that this was actually a large entity from this time and space that knew he was leaving, and thus organized this bonfire party to send him off.

I came here, met the people who wrote the original story, and did some things to fulfill my wish.

"Thank you for coming, and thank you for everything you've done for our world. If possible, I really wish you could stay, but I know that's impossible, and I can't be so selfish..." Sun Wukong sincerely thanked Tarot.

After he uttered these words, others followed suit, expressing their regret.

The farewell process before parting is always the hardest to bear.

But all good things must come to an end, and everyone has their own path to walk; it's impossible to depend on others forever.

"There's no need for a life-or-death separation. We'll meet again someday. Besides, I'm really looking forward to seeing you both in this timeline. I'm waiting for you to become strong enough, and I look forward to the day we meet again. When that happens, I hope you can fight me one-on-one," Tarot said.

Using this method to ease the atmosphere can have unexpected effects.

As Saiyans, we are born to fight.

Throughout their lives, they are always on the path to becoming stronger, and nothing can stop them.

"Hmph! Next time we meet, I will not only reach an even higher level, but I will also defeat you! Just wait, Tarot!" Vegeta snorted and said arrogantly.

The prince's pride will not change. Even knowing that he can never catch up, he will not admit defeat, nor will he back down.

"Me too! If you don't come looking for us then, we'll come looking for you! Hehe~!" Sun Wukong said with a grin.

For a battle maniac, nothing can stop Sun Wukong's advance.

After making arrangements with the two, Tarot looked at the others, especially Gohan and Piccolo, whom he had previously looked after...

Finally, it was time to face Beerus and Whis again.

We've already communicated, so there's no need to say anything more now.

Looking up at the sky, the night sky is dotted with countless stars, which is very beautiful.

Everyone followed Talot's gaze and was completely captivated.

"That's about it. My family in the other world is waiting for me to go back!"

As he spoke, Talot raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force of spacetime laws emerged, opening up a spacetime passage in the void.

Everyone who saw this was shocked and amazed.

This is what makes Talot so powerful; his performance in the Tournament of Power was only a small part of his true strength.

Sun Wukong and Vegeta, in particular, sighed inwardly, wondering how long it would take them to reach that level.

"Gentlemen, we shall meet again someday!"

Leaving behind a single sentence, Talot took to the air.

His gaze met that of everyone present, and then he turned and entered the time tunnel again without looking back.

Because of Talot's entry, the entrance to the time tunnel quickly closed and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

……

"They're gone. I wonder when we'll meet again?" Sun Wukong sighed.

For a very long time, he hadn't had a clear goal, so now that they've parted ways, he's already looking forward to their next meeting.

"Alright, kid, you'd better start extra training from today onwards, otherwise if there's another Tournament of Power, no one will be able to help us get through this ordeal," Beerus said, giving Goku a fierce look.

Without Tarot, unexpected moments will occur. Before having an absolute guarantee of power, he decided to train Goku and Vegeta properly.

Let at least one of them become a candidate God of Destruction, so that even if something unexpected happens, there will be a way to deal with it.

"Hehehe~! Lord Beerus is starting to get anxious, isn't he?" Whis teased with a smile.

"Tch! I'm just being prepared." Beerus turned his face away.

……

Meanwhile, at the Temple of the Omni-King.

After reporting everything to the Omni-King, the High Priest suddenly felt something and his lips curled slightly.

[Has he left? Good. The warriors of this time and space also need to train and grow on their own. In addition, I also need to connect with my counterpart in your world...] Thinking to himself, the High Priest bid farewell to the Omni-King and, after arriving outside the palace, took a step and entered a fantastical time and space corridor.

In just a short while, another high priest appeared in the area.

This high priest was none other than the high priest from the timeline of Talot. (End of Chapter)
