Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Facing Super Saiyan Blue Taros and Mystic Form Gohan, Tarot constantly dodged, avoiding their pincer attack.

Indeed, this level of strength is quite impressive; anyone at the same level would have to take it seriously.

But in his presence, such attacks were child's play, like children playing house, not worth mentioning.

"Since you dare to take the initiative, then let's have some fun together, and let me see just how capable my son, and Kakarot's son, really are." Tarot said, a smile in his eyes.

Upon hearing Tarot's words, Super Saiyan Blue Taros and Mystic Gohan gritted their teeth, their auras surging even more violently.

Their attacks became increasingly fierce, and their teamwork was excellent. Judging from this alone, they must have fought together many times before, otherwise they wouldn't be so skilled.

In a battle of this caliber, how can you trust each other if you don't know each other well?

This type of combat is prone to friendly fire incidents.

"Even if you are my father, even if you have power that we can only look up to, you can't bully us like this! Did you come back just to declare how powerful you are? Just to show off yourself?!" Talos's emotions fluctuated violently in response to Talot's verbal attack.

As this burning anger grew, the azure divine power surrounding Talos became increasingly dazzling.

This is clearly a huge breakthrough.

Through the battle, Talos reached the Super Saiyan Blue Full Power state.

This was an unexpected delight.

At least for Talot, he had only been thinking about helping Talora break through, but now Talos has been dealt with as well.

Unfortunately, Talos's cultivation level was not high enough to break through to the second stage of Super Saiyan Blue, otherwise, he would have undergone a transformation as well.

Even pulling up seedlings to help them grow requires a certain foundation; if one acts recklessly without restraint, it will harm Talos.

"You can interpret it that way, but do you think I, with my absolute power, am unworthy to do this? What do you think, my foolish son?" Talot put on an air of self-importance.

If you're going to act, you have to go all the way.

Most importantly, it has to be a performance for Taroa, and it has to be a real show.

"Uncle Tarot, this battle has gone on long enough. We all know how strong you are, so there's no need for you to keep showing your power," Gohan tried to smooth things over.

This reminded Talot of Gohan from the original manga, who was indeed indecisive.

To be honest, this kid is pretty useless, but I have to say, if he weren't like this, Son Gohan wouldn't be Son Gohan.

The strongest single warrior in the original work would be completely different in this time and space.

"Instead of saying such useless things, why not show me your skills? Judging from your condition, you have mastered this form very well. Why not take it a step further?" Talot laughed.

That would be interesting if Gohan could reach his beast form.

"Stop talking nonsense, Gohan, let's go all out!! Even if we can't win, I will avenge my sister." Talos roared, feeling invincible from his increased strength, his blood boiling.

With punches and kicks, Talos displayed his strength to the fullest, and all his attacks were filled with an unstoppable momentum.

Under Talos's shout, Gohan had no choice but to fight with all his might.

Their combined attack became increasingly sophisticated, their coordination was now impeccable.

Even the pinnacle of the seventh dimension might not be able to suppress it easily.

This relentless onslaught made Talot's lips curl into a smile, giving him an even clearer understanding of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two.

The combat techniques are indeed excellent, each with its own unique aspects.

As the hand-to-hand combat continued, Talos and Gohan grew stronger and stronger, leaving everyone speechless.

Tarora was still recovering from her injuries, and her original plan was to keep her brother and Gohan out of the way.

But now, the situation is that she can no longer intervene.

After withstanding thousands of attacks, Talot decided not to continue the fight. He used his aura burst to create a brief opening, then interrupted their combined attack with a single blow.

To Talot's surprise, the two boys managed to unleash a powerful energy wave attack the instant they were knocked away.

If this attack hits, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

Talot vanished from their attack range in a flash, like a ghost.

Boom!!!

A violent explosion occurred as the two energy waves collided.

The flames were overwhelming and incredibly powerful, but they had no effect whatsoever.

Talos and Gohan both saw it, and Talos easily dodged the attack.

"Think you can hurt me with this? You're too naive. Show me what else you two have up your sleeves. If that's all you've got, I'm going to make my move." Standing outside the blast radius, Talot's figure appeared even more imposing and domineering against the backdrop of the massive explosion, like an invincible war god.

Talos and Gohan, who had been sent flying backward, regained their footing, gritted their teeth, and after finally easing their pain, tried their best to control their emotions and not let anger cloud their judgment.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's feelings.

Having grown up together since childhood, we know each other so well that there are almost no secrets between us.

After exchanging glances, the two changed tactics.

Even so, nothing can be changed, because the gap in strength is too great.

Tactics are only effective when the strength of the opposing forces is roughly equal, or when the enemy's strength is not significantly greater than one's own.

In the face of absolute power, all means are opportunistic and useless.

Faced with the combined attack of Talos and Gohan once again, Talos no longer dodged or retreated, but responded while taking the blows.

Although they did not launch a proactive attack, they still put pressure on the opponent's tactics and response capabilities to some extent.

This is also a practical training exercise for the two children, allowing them to learn more useful things in the process of fighting, thereby correcting their bad habits.

"You're still too weak. Your attacks are like tickling me. When fighting against a stronger opponent, being clever is just asking for trouble! Instead of thinking about how to gain an advantage and hesitating, you should think about how to unleash stronger, even beyond-limit, power." Talot manipulated the two children as if they were two toys.

This was an extreme mockery for Talos and Gohan, leaving them both angry and anxious, yet helpless.

The gap was so large that they felt that even if they made further progress, it would be impossible for them to compete head-on with Talot.

"Damn it!!" Talos gritted his teeth.

He once again unleashed his surging divine power and charged forward. At this moment, even he himself was unaware that after being verbally attacked by his father, he had undergone a transformation in his fighting style.

With the change in his fighting methods, he learned from his previous lessons, no longer hesitating or worrying too much. He only wanted to fight, and his fist techniques became even more powerful.

The azure starlight aura grew increasingly thick and dazzling, and his improved combat abilities allowed him to better unleash the power within him.

[This is the full power level we should have! Overall, he's quite quick-witted. He may seem reckless on the surface, but he's actually quite composed inside, he just doesn't show it...] Talot was very satisfied with this result.

As the battle intensified, Son Gohan, who was also caught in the middle of the fight, suddenly found himself seemingly unable to get involved.

No matter how hard he tried to help or to take things by surprise, the more he tried, the harder it became to get involved. Eventually, he became marginalized and could only watch from the sidelines.

"Is this the end for me?" Son Gohan thought bitterly about his own weakness.

He was no weaker than Talos, but now, in comparison, he realized he was far inferior.

This emotional turmoil caused Gohan to undergo a transformation.

That unwillingness to fall behind others, that resentment, to some extent stimulated the Saiyans' rapid growth.

Especially for the Saiyans of this era.

In the distance, Tarora, who was also seeing Gohan transforming, was startled.

She suddenly sensed a vast and terrifying pool of energy deep within Gohan's body, seemingly boundless, fierce, surging, and utterly frightening.

Even she felt a sense of fear.

This subtle shift in aura can only be sensed by those who have reached a certain level of strength.

Talott could not possibly ignore this shift.

While dealing with Taros, he also had to spare some attention.

The mysterious aura surrounding Son Gohan grew stronger, and there was even a faint sense of savage pressure.

[Interesting! It's a pity he can't break through to beast form yet. This kid truly deserves to be the strongest single warrior in the original work. If he continues to be guided, it won't be long before he remains the strongest among the younger generation, unless Talos breaks through to Super Saiyan Rosé Stage 2, or Talos also breaks through to Super Saiyan Blue Stage 2.] Talos thought to himself.

Because of the shift in attention, Talos clearly noticed it, which made him feel even worse.

The punches and kicks became increasingly fierce. Talot understood all too well this eagerness to prove himself and his unwillingness to be underestimated.

"That's enough. I've seen your abilities." With that, Talot stopped holding back and attacked instantly.

With a wave of his hand, he deflected Talos's attack and gave him no further chance to attack.

A muffled thud!

Talot's fist slammed into Talos's abdomen.

An immense force swept over his entire body, causing indescribable, intense pain that made Talos cough up blood, his face contorted in a hideous grimace.

"Damn it..." Talos managed to utter a few words, his eyes half-open, his body so weak that he leaned against Talot.

His aura crumbled, and his Super Saiyan Blue Full Power state vanished instantly with this devastating blow. The surging divine power disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Talos!" From afar, Talos stared in disbelief at the sight, as if a chord in her heart had been touched.

She didn't care how badly she was beaten, but her younger brother was the one she had to protect. She didn't want to see him get hurt in any way, not even by their father!

Her anger was reignited, and the crimson divine power surrounding Talora underwent a qualitative change.

The power hidden deep within her body stimulated every cell in her body.

The Saiyan factor was ignited by an even more powerful divine force, giving the feeling that it was about to burn completely.

On the other side, after seeing Talos being instantly killed by a single punch and critically injured, Gohan was also spurred on.

"Haaaaaah!!!" A hysterical scream came from Son Gohan's mouth.

The breath that had been pent up in his chest was finally exhaled completely, and his eyes underwent a dramatic change. He cast aside all distracting thoughts, and his fighting spirit was ignited.

Tarot narrowed his eyes as Gohan attacked again.

At this moment, he saw that Taro was on the verge of a breakthrough and knew that he needed to add fuel to the fire.

Talot grabbed his son by the hair, lifted him up, and then casually tossed him away, slamming him to the ground.

In the next instant, Son Gohan was already close, and one could feel the wild aura emanating from him.

Actually, it's somewhat similar to the savage rage of the legendary super power.

"You have indeed improved, but such a small breakthrough is still not enough!" Tarot said with a smile, then turned around and attacked directly, seizing the opening in Gohan's attack, bypassing his punch, and grabbing him by the neck.

This immediately rendered Gohan unable to resist, and he was completely restrained by Tarot, making all his struggles futile.

In Tarot's hands, whether it's Tarola, Talos, or even his own Son Gohan, they're all just three-year-old children.

Talot could defeat him easily if he wanted to.

Son Gohan felt despair because the mental blankness caused by the suffocation was something he had never felt before.

"You should also contribute to Tarot's breakthrough." Tarot whispered a sentence in Gohan's ear and then released his grip.

Telling Gohan his true intentions caused Gohan, who had regained his breathing, to pause briefly. But the next second, he felt a tremendous force coming from his stomach.

He only took one punch, yet he coughed up blood and lost control of his body, flying backward like a kite with a broken string, eventually crashing into a mountain peak.

"Gohan!!!"

Upon seeing Gohan's fate, Tarora's brain went blank.

This scene brought her resentment and bitterness to a fever pitch.

She watched helplessly as her younger brother and Gohan were severely injured by their father, which drove her to desperately increase the divine power within her.

"Hmm? Finally couldn't hold back? But this little bit of power isn't enough to impress me, much less to avenge you." Talot squinted and continued to tease.

If you're going to act, you have to go all the way. How can you just end it at the last minute and end up failing?

The opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived; under the pressure of Talot's words, Tarot's momentum clearly surged once more. (End of Chapter)
