Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 98 Growing Under Pressure! The Power of a Super Saiyan

"Are you kidding me?!"

Once he regained his senses, Gura took the initiative to attack, swinging his fist at Talot, but Talot was clearly faster than him.

*Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!*

The instant Gura threw his punch, Talot launched three devastating attacks, striking Gura in the face, chest, and abdomen respectively.

Having suffered a triple blow, Gura staggered backward, his expression twisted and terrifying, utterly ferocious.

How could he, Gula, be so suppressed and humiliated by a wild monkey?!

Unwilling to give up, Gula forced himself to stand up, only to be kicked away by Talot.

Talot had no intention of letting Gura go so easily. He charged forward again to catch up with the flying Gura, and his fierce attack was like a rain of pear blossoms, turning into a terrifying storm that swept over Gura's entire body.

The overwhelming offensive forced Gula into a series of retreats, leaving him only able to defend passively.

As an existence even more powerful than Frieza, Cooler's power level is as high as 150 million even without transforming.

When has he ever suffered such humiliation!

If he transforms, even if Talot is twice as strong, he still wouldn't be a match for him.

But right now, Talot doesn't give him a chance to transform at all.

"Haa ...

Both speed and strength were greatly enhanced during the battle.

Talot's combat techniques, honed through years of self-study and rigorous training, combined with guidance from the North Kai, made him a versatile fighter, capable of both offense and defense, with virtually no weaknesses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." The powerful punches and kicks were so tightly linked.

Even though Gura was fully committed to defense, Talot's fierce attacks still left him with considerable damage.

As the pain in his body intensified, Gula's anger reached its peak.

"Don't push your luck, you wild monkey!!!!" Enraged, Gura completely abandoned his defense and unleashed a powerful punch straight at Talot's face.

Talot remained unfazed by Cooler's counterattack, using a spatial teleportation technique to skillfully dodge Cooler's heavy punches while appearing behind Cooler.

"What?!" The attack missed, and Gula's eyes widened. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see when Talot had made his move.

He subconsciously thought of something and swung his tail to strike.

But then, Gura found his tail being grabbed. He turned around and saw Talot looking at him mockingly.

"The battle has only just begun, Gura!" Talot grabbed Gura's tail with one hand and exerted force.

In an instant, Gula felt an incredibly savage force sweep over his body, leaving him unable to resist, and he was thrown away.

Seizing the opportunity, Talot charged forward again, catching up with Gura and launching a relentless attack.

However, the pursuit did not yield the desired results.

At first, Tarot caught Cooler off guard with the powerful boost of the Kaioken at fifteen times, but now the situation has changed.

Gura launched a counterattack, experiencing a leap in both speed and strength. The power that erupted instantly reversed the situation, catching Talot off guard.

*Bang! Thud! Thud!*

Talot and Gura intertwined their fingers, their strength pressing down on each other, neither gaining the upper hand.

Talot's face contorted with rage as the power of the giant ape surged within him, unleashing increasingly stronger energy to resist Gura's energy onslaught.

"Wild monkey, your strength has indeed shocked me, but your plan has failed. Did you think you could defeat me by not letting me transform? How naive!!" Gula smiled coldly, his terrifying aura surging, and his strength greatly increased.

In a pure clash of strength, Cooler had the absolute upper hand this time.

As the pressure on his hands increased, the power of the giant ape within Talot was further stimulated.

"Haa ...

Seizing the opportunity, Talot exerted force with both hands and flung Gula to the ground.

"It's useless. So what if your strength increases again? My power is far beyond what you can contend with! I'd like to see just how much more capable you are!!!" Gula's expression grew increasingly sinister, but when he looked up, his smile vanished instantly.

Because the energy Talot unleashed had reached an incredibly terrifying level, this guy was planning to release an energy wave attack to attack him!

"Hmph! You think you can intimidate me like this?... Wait, this angle, this position..." Gula exclaimed in surprise.

Normally, he should be the one condensing his ultimate move from that angle.

But now it was the opponent's turn.

Talot had gone all in, his hands spread wide and then clasped together, a ball of incredibly powerful golden electric energy pulsating in his palms.

"Crackling and popping!!!"

Around Talott's body, bursts of lightning exploded, the powerful energy causing spatial tremors, and a violent storm rapidly expanded from Talott's center.

In an instant, the air pressure changed drastically, the atmosphere was torn apart, and the entire planet shook violently under Talot's power.

The planet's original inhabitants were already trembling with fear, utterly helpless in the face of the impending doom.

"Indeed, it's quite an astonishing amount of energy, so that's all you have, right? Come on, I'll show you what despair is." Gula gazed at Talot, who was gathering his deadly power in the sky, without any intention of dodging.

He had made up his mind to let Talot experience the ultimate fear before slowly torturing him.

This energy was indeed terrifying, but in his view, it was not enough to kill him.

He will show Talot what true power is.

He also wanted to make him understand that no matter how strong the Saiyans were, they were only fit to grovel at his feet.

……

"Is this what Talot looks like when he goes all out? He's managed to gather energy to this extent!!" At the edge of the battlefield, Raditz was highly focused, not daring to relax for a moment.

Could that terrifying blow really kill Gura?

He wasn't sure, but he was looking forward to it.

"The outcome hinges on this move." On the other side, Serari knew that this was Talot's all-or-nothing move, and the outcome would be revealed after this strike.

"Is that guy really going to take Talot's final, deadly attack head-on? He'd better stay like this, or else..." Serari prayed in his heart.

No matter how strong Gula was, she felt that this attack was a sure kill.

……

midair.

As the energy released by Talot continued to condense and expand, it caused changes in the atmosphere of the entire planet, and the space itself underwent extremely terrifying deformation.

When all the energy was gathered to its limit, Talot's muscles swelled, and countless bolts of electricity exploded around him. At this moment, his ultimate move was complete!

Buzzing sounds!

A golden energy ball, enveloped in electric light, spun rapidly counterclockwise in Talot's palm.

"Take this, Gura!!! Ultimate Penetrating Cannon!!!" With a furious roar, a spiral-shaped golden lightning energy cannon with immense destructive power suddenly erupted, like a roaring dragon, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

"What?!" Gula was startled by the terrifying energy, his face turned horrified, and he hurriedly crossed his arms to form a defense.

Boom!

Wherever the energy passed, the earth collapsed, creating long chasms and even stirring up spatial ripples.

Judging solely from its destructive power, Talot's ultimate attack has a power level of at least 2 million combat points, making it Talot's strongest attack to date, capable of unleashing combat power far exceeding his own limits.

The violent energy instantly engulfed Gula and his surroundings, destroying everything within a radius of several miles. Finally, the energy shot straight out of the planet and into outer space.

……

Smoke filled the air, rocks flew everywhere, and the world underwent a dramatic change.

At the center, enveloped in energy, a massive mushroom cloud suddenly appeared, soaring into the sky—a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Horrified, appalled, incredulous.

A variety of emotions lingered in everyone's hearts. Whether it was Serarri or Raditz outside the battlefield, or King Kai on North Kai's planet, they were all frightened by this move.

This terrifying beam of energy could cause the entire planet to explode from the impact of the energy if we're not careful.

"It...it worked?! Tarot's ultimate move hit!!!" Raditz was overjoyed when he came to his senses.

That terrifying finishing move just now definitely hit Gula; no one could survive the devastating energy attack.

In Raditz's view, Gula was doomed.

At this moment, Serari also came to her senses.

Looking at the area destroyed by the incredibly terrifying energy, she saw more than Raditz with her keen insight.

"At the moment the energy was released, Brother Talot changed the trajectory of the launch. This move seemed to destroy the entire planet, but Brother Talot, through precise calculations, avoided the fate of the planet being destroyed..." Serari murmured to himself, his mind trembling.

What she just witnessed made her realize many things, and she could use that same approach when facing a powerful enemy and unleashing her ultimate attack.

[But, was Gura really dealt with by Talot? Why do I feel so uneasy...] A sense of foreboding crept into Serari's heart.

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

Talot's fatal blow was indeed terrifying, but... it seems that Gura has been holding back a trump card.

"I hope this is just my imagination," Serarri thought to himself, taking a deep breath.

……

Talot's side.

After unleashing a super-powerful finishing blow, the enormous energy expenditure made it difficult for Talot to maintain his current state.

The state of the 15x Kaioken had disappeared, and the intense feeling of emptiness in his body almost made him unable to maintain even his flight technique for a moment.

Even though the fatal blow landed, Talot still dared not relax for a moment, staring intently at the area where Gula had been.

As time goes by, little by little.

The smoke dissipated considerably, and a shadow could be faintly seen within the thick smoke.

Gura's dark and evil aura reappeared in everyone's perception.

After the thick smoke completely dissipated, Gula's figure came into everyone's view.

Having taken a full-force blow from Talot, Gura was somewhat disheveled and suffered some injuries, but it was not fatal for him.

"That attack was indeed impressive. If it were Frieza, you would have really taken him down. It's just a pity that you met me, the King." Cooler grinned, a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes. His aura exploded, transforming into a storm that swept across the sky and dispelled all the thick smoke around him.

Seeing this, Talot frowned slightly.

Sensing the presence, Serarri and Raditz were filled with fear.

Even the North Kai, located on the North Kai's planet in the underworld, felt a chill.

Gula is safe and sound?!

Being struck head-on by Talot's terrifying energy, which was capable of destroying the world, Gula should have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

But right now, this guy just looks a little disheveled, with only minor injuries...

Just how terrifying is this guy's strength?

"Although I'm very unwilling, it's pretty much what I guessed..." Talot tried his best to calm himself down.

His initial plan was to take advantage of Gura's lack of reaction time, use all his power to severely injure Gura, and even kill him in one fell swoop.

After all, anything is possible with a human effort. If we don't give it a try, who knows if he can succeed?

In retrospect, his idea was indeed too naive. Even without transforming, Cooler was far beyond what Talot could kill in his current state.

First, this guy's true combat power is as high as 470 million points.

Even without the transformation, his current physical strength is far beyond what he could possibly achieve by bluffing.

Secondly, the combination of the Great Ape Power and the Kaioken technique seems to give him a combat power of nearly 2 million, but this power is just an increase out of thin air. Not only does it not last long, but its actual strength is also not up to par.

After a moment's thought, Talot descended from the sky with a solemn expression, landing a hundred meters directly in front of Gula.

This is currently the safest distance, giving him at least enough time to perform a teleportation maneuver.

Of course, this is just a precaution, because the battle is far from over, and he has not completely lost his fighting ability!

As he landed, Talot pressed on, his momentum rising once again.

After reaching the limit of the Great Ape Power, he activated the 1x Kaioken once again, returning his strength to its peak of 8000 million points.

Judging from the energy intensity of that last finishing move, Talot should be exhausted by now.

After unleashing his ultimate attack, Talot vaguely sensed a strange power within his body.

This strange feeling dispelled the fatigue he had felt during the previous battle, and both his body and mind became more excited.

A thirst for battle.

Perhaps, this is the nature of Saiyans.

At this moment, Gula stared sharply at Talot.

He slowly brushed the dust off his body, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.

"This is the first time I've suffered such a serious injury. This pain feels quite good. Wild monkey, to be able to fight me to this extent, even if you die, you'll have enough to be proud of in your life."

"I have decided to execute you in my final form. Neither my foolish brother nor my ignorant father has ever seen my final form. Just a friendly reminder, my battle power after transformation is a whopping 470 million points, which is higher than you initially guessed, hehehehe...!!!"

Gula was so conceited and arrogant.

However, as Frieza's brother, and possessing a combat power of 470 million points, he is unmatched in the current era, so his arrogance is only natural.

"So what if your combat power reaches 470 million points? Combat power doesn't represent everything! Weren't you just being humiliated by me?!" Talot was already prepared to fight.

This time, instead of stopping it, they looked forward to it.

Since they couldn't kill Cooler before he transformed, they decided to use Cooler's transformation to accomplish another plan.

"Your courage is commendable, but it's a pity you're still being stubborn even when death is imminent! If you beg for mercy, I might spare you!!!" With the sarcastic voice, Gula no longer hesitated.

He roared to the sky, his aura exploding.

His body expanded at a visible speed, undergoing a dramatic change, and his aura also increased at a leaping speed. A terrifying storm rapidly expanded from Gula as the center.

Using their aura perception, not only Talot but everyone could sense how terrifyingly Gura's aura had risen.

This terrifying sense of oppression caused the planet beneath their feet to tremble violently, affecting the air pressure and tearing apart the land within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The sky turned pitch black due to the expansion of energy, and countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, lashing the earth. The scene was horrifying, as if it would destroy everything.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind howled and the earth shook.

At this moment, the world seemed to be facing its end!

……

The underworld.

On King Boundary in the North.

King Kai was sweating profusely. The moment Cooler revealed his true power, he knew something terrible was about to happen.

Gura is an absolute monster, just as he predicted. Even though Talot is very strong, he has no chance of defeating Gura.

But that's enough. Cooler is still transforming, so take this opportunity to leave quickly!

King Kai immediately used his telepathic abilities to contact Tarot...

……

On the battlefield.

Gura's transformation continued, and the pressure he released became increasingly terrifying.

A hundred meters away, Talot watched Cooler's transformation, his mind becoming heavy, and his breathing rhythm affected.

Although I knew there was a big gap between my strength and Gura's, I didn't expect the gap of nearly 3 million to be so big.

Even if they belong to the same unit level of hundreds of millions...

"[Tarot, it's about time you came back. You've seen Cooler's strength. In a head-on confrontation, you have no chance of winning.]" King Kai's voice echoed in Tarot's mind.

"Of course I know I'm no match for him, but as a Saiyan, it would be too shameful to retreat without a fight. Besides, I want to experience just how strong this so-called 470 million power level really is!" Talot replied.

"You... whatever, whatever. I hope you come back without a ring on your head." King Kai knew that Talot's mind was made up, and no amount of persuasion would change his mind.

I just hope Talot can come back alive.

After all, once you reach a certain level of strength, even if you have escape techniques like spatial teleportation, it will be difficult to use them.

Just in case, Talot immediately used his telepathic abilities to contact Raditz and Serari.

[Raditz, Serari, you two go back to King Kai's North. Leave this to me.]

Raditz and Serari, who were far away from the battlefield, were both taken aback when they received Talot's telepathic message.

"Are you really going to face that monster alone? Talot, even though you're very strong, this is too risky... Let's go, now's the time..." Raditz hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Their strength is too weak; staying here would be even more dangerous.

"Brother Talot, let's go together! Even though I'm weak, I can still help. I won't leave you alone." Serari replied firmly, her resolute attitude showing her determination to leave with Talot.

Talot had anticipated Serari's reaction and promptly reprimanded him, "Your presence here will only hinder my performance! I am absolutely certain that I can leave at a crucial moment, but you cannot. Go back to King Kai's North, and you can see what's happening here through him just the same way."

With a heartfelt explanation, Talot couldn't say they were a burden, as staying would only hold him back.

Upon hearing Talot's words, Raditz understood perfectly well that Serari was still very stubborn, but after King Kai's subtle prodding, no matter how unwilling she was, she knew that staying in this place would only bring pressure to Talot.

With Raditz and Serari gone, Talott no longer had any worries.

At this moment, he could completely let go.

Talot's determined gaze then shifted to Cooler, who had already completed his transformation.

"Hmph hmph hmph!! Remember my current form well, you will soon stop breathing!!" Cooler, having completed his final transformation, let out a series of cold laughs.

At this point, it wasn't just that his body had become stronger.

The oppressive atmosphere alone was enough to show that Gura was no longer the same person he had been before.

"Is this your final form? It's truly impressive, and it was worth the wait! Come on, let me experience just how strong your 470 million combat power really is!" Talot rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, and said with great anticipation.

"Hmph... You haven't lost your fighting spirit even in the face of my final form. As expected of the Saiyans, who call themselves a warrior race, you deserve praise! As a reward, I'll let you experience the terror of hell. Don't die so easily, Saiyan." At this moment, Cooler's wicked nature was revealed.

He wanted to completely crush Talot, both physically and mentally, leaving him unable to live or die!

Until Talott, in a state of mental breakdown, begged himself to kill him!

"Enough talk! Take this!!" Talot raised his hand and unleashed a spiral energy beam that shot straight toward Gula.

Faced with Talot's proactive attack, Gura was no longer like before. He casually shattered the incoming energy beam with a single palm strike.

Gula then charged out instantly, creating a series of sonic booms.

Feeling the terrifying pressure coming at him, Talot tensed up, ready to fight.

Gula's punch, unstoppable and destructive, was unleashed with unstoppable force.

Talot was not to be outdone, unleashing a powerful attack that combined the strength of the giant ape with a blood-red aura.

A deafening boom erupted as fists collided.

In an instant, space trembled, the earth caved in, and gusts of storm swept out.

In its final form, Cooler unleashed an incredibly powerful force. Even with the Great Ape power and the 15x Kaioken boost, Tarot was blasted hundreds of meters away.

In contrast, Gula stood there as if nothing had happened, completely unaffected.

Despite the excruciating pain from his fist, Talot forced himself to maintain his stance, gritting his teeth to process the intense agony, his mind already preparing for Gura's next attack.

Gula attacked again, not intending to let Talot off so easily. His powerful body moved at supersonic speed, so fast that Talot couldn't even see him.

"Crush me!!" An unstoppable kick came straight at Talot.

In the end, Talot managed to see a glimpse of the future through his brief premonition and took defensive action, crossing his arms to protect himself.

Boom! ...

Even with all his strength, he was still blasted thousands of meters away by Gula.

[Such an intense sense of oppression...such terrifying power...my whole body feels like it's been destroyed.] Talot felt his scalp tingling and his entire body wracked with excruciating pain.

Gula's powerful attacks left him completely defenseless.

However, although it was unbearable, it was exactly what he wanted.

As a Saiyan, pain cannot break him; instead, it becomes the driving force for him to become stronger.

The power of the giant ape erupted even more intensely under the stimulation of pain, and a warm current flowed out from the depths of its body.

"Hahahaha!!! Now you know what despair is, right? You wild monkey!!" With a sinister laugh, Gula charged at Talot once again.

A relentless barrage of punches and kicks swept towards Talot like a storm.

Gula fully demonstrated his power, employing bizarre and fierce attack methods, each strike aimed at Talot's fatal weaknesses, with every attack possessing the power to split mountains, shatter the earth, and destroy stars.

*Bang!! Boom!! Bang!! Boom!! Bang!! Boom!! ……*

One after another, the terrifying sounds of flesh being pierced exploded.

Talot defended with all his might, but every attack from Gura toppled his body...

Despite his best efforts to defend himself, his body still suffered irreversible and massive damage.

This fight was a complete one-sided beatdown on him!

"What's wrong? Is this all the Saiyan warrior race is capable of? Where did your arrogance go? In the face of my absolute power, you can't even fight back? Hmph hmph hmph hmph..." Cooler thoroughly enjoyed torturing Talot. He perfectly controlled his power with each attack, preventing Talot from being killed outright.

He wanted to shatter Talot's indomitable will.

Time passed slowly, and Talot gritted his teeth and persevered. It was during this process that the Saiyan blood within his body began to boil.

The feeling was wonderful; it was as if some strange power was surging out of my body.

Under the immense pressure from Cooler, he is growing stronger, and his combat power is skyrocketing.

Growing under pressure, Talot broke through his limits time and time again, and his strength improved rapidly, including the shackles in his genes, which showed signs of being broken.

The Saiyan's characteristic is that they become stronger when faced with stronger opponents!

Talot was enjoying the process of increasing his strength, but Gula was currently indulging in tormenting Talot.

In his eyes, Talot was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter, with no way to escape.

"Hmph hmph hmph... Feeling despair? Wild monkey, this is the difference between you and me. Even if your combat power reaches hundreds of millions, I can still easily toy with you in the palm of my hand!!" Gula attacked while mocking Talot's incompetence and weakness, trying to completely break down Talot's psychological defenses.

But this level of mockery was insignificant to Talot and had no effect on him.

"Your attacks are powerful, but I've gotten used to them. Is that all you've got?" Talot asked Gura rhetorically, needing him to unleash even greater power.

Talot, fully immersed in battle, grew increasingly excited.

The situation has changed. From being unilaterally defeated by Cooler at the beginning, Talot is now gradually able to cope with Cooler's attacks.

At this rate of growth, his combat power will only increase, and when Cooler lowers his guard, he will deliver a fatal blow to Cooler without any mercy.

Enraged by Talot's provocation, Gura decided to deliver a severe blow to Talot.

"You say that's all I am?! Then I'll see if you can withstand the next attack." As soon as he finished speaking, Gula disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Talot.

At that moment, Talot felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to turn around to defend himself, he was kicked into the air by Gula's powerful kick.

The terrifying force surged through his body, causing Talot's blood to churn. He was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but at the last moment, he forced it back down.

His powerful body, honed through intense gravity training since childhood, was nearly crippled by Gura's kick.

Unable to control his body, Talot soared straight into the sky.

On the ground, Gura's bloodthirsty eyes locked onto Talot, and with a wave of his hand, he fired a death energy cannon straight at Talot.

This death energy cannon won't completely obliterate Talot, but it will certainly leave him half-dead.

At this critical moment, Talot erupted.

"Twenty times the Kaioken!!!"

By forcibly unleashing the Kaioken at twenty times, Tarot regained control of his body, narrowly dodging Cooler's Death Energy Cannon, and then turned to launch a counterattack.

"What?!" Seeing that Talot still had energy left, Gula's eyes flashed with shock.

Something's not right with this wild monkey. Just how much strength is he hiding?

"Spiral Split Bullet!" With a powerful swing of his hand, Talot hurled an energy bullet at Gura, which instantly split into dozens of smaller bullets, surrounding Gura.

"A futile struggle. I'd like to see just how far you can go!" Gula released a death beam without a care, detonating all of the dozens of spiral gas bombs.

Rumble! ...

The explosion created a wall of flames in mid-air, blocking Gula's view.

In that instant, Talot used spatial teleportation to appear behind Gura.

Just as he was about to strike, Gula sensed his movement in time and struck Talot squarely in the face, sending him flying.

"I'm tired of this kind of attack! Don't you have any new tricks? Even if the speed bursts briefly across space, I can still sense it!" Gura's taunt was so direct.

This punch caused Talot to momentarily lose consciousness. When he came to his senses, he had already been sent flying hundreds of meters.

"It's over." The ruthless Gura had no intention of continuing the game.

He wanted to kill Talot.

*Whoosh!*

As Gula raised his hand, an extremely dense cannon of death energy burst forth from his hand, heading straight for Talot.

This time, Talot had no choice but to confront it head-on.

With a deafening bang, Talot was pushed backward by the death energy cannon. Even with the Great Ape Power stacked twenty times with the Kaioken, briefly reaching a combat power of 24000 points, it was still unable to stop the advance of this energy.

Gula, watching this scene from afar, observed it with amusement.

He crossed his arms, convinced that Talot was doomed this time.

However, things often don't go as planned.

Things did not go as Gula had planned.

His death energy cannon was indeed terrifying, but it couldn't completely defeat Talot, and even had the opposite effect!

Instead, it was Talot who, with the pressure from the death energy cannon, once again surpassed his limits and broke through the shell of potential possibilities.

Having accumulated his potential over the years, Talot never explored it. Now, stimulated, not only has his potential been unlocked, but his Great Ape power has also been amplified.

The crimson aura of the Kaioken vanished, and golden energy surged from Talot's body.

In an instant, Talot seemed to activate some dormant power within his body. This power, combined with the power of the giant ape, instantly gave him the strength to resist the death energy cannon.

"Haaaaaahh ...

The deflected death energy cannon shot back towards Gura's location.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Gula stared in shock as his attack was deflected.

What's going on?

That wild monkey should have run out of energy!

Even if there are still hidden things, they should have been worn down to exhaustion by now.

How could there possibly be any spare energy to deflect his death energy cannon back?

Is this wild monkey really a monster?

After a brief moment of shock, Gula quickly regained his senses, as the approaching death energy cannon forced him to cross his arms in defense, directly confronting its energy attack.

A deafening roar erupted, and the scorching flames of the explosion shot straight into the sky.

The ground within a radius of several miles trembled incessantly at that moment.

Talot, who had successfully deflected the death energy cannon and hit Gura, was now exhausted. His hands hung limply at his sides, the power of the giant ape dissipated, and he returned to normal.

His aura is now less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak.

His body, covered in wounds, had reached its absolute limit.

Despite his disheveled state, Talot was unusually excited.

"That special feeling I just experienced... there's no mistake, it was the power of a Super Saiyan!" Talot was overjoyed.

In that brief moment, the power surging from the deepest part of his body perfectly merged with the Great Ape's power, allowing him to unleash a force far exceeding his own limits, thus deflecting the Death Energy Cannon back. His primary objective in coming to intercept Cooler was to attempt to break through the shackles between himself and his Super Saiyan form.

He proved to be successful.

Hovering on the edge of life and death, growing stronger through battle, he finally broke free from the first shackles of Super Saiyan.

Now that the goal has been achieved, although there has been no real transformation, it has met expectations, and Talot is ready to run away.

If we continue fighting Gura, we might really die here.

Most importantly, he no longer had any extra strength reserves.

Talot could eat a Senzu Bean to recover from his injuries and regain his strength to continue fighting, but he didn't intend to do so.

……

At this moment, Gura finally completely neutralized the aftershocks of the Death Energy Cannon.

This powerful move, which he unleashed himself, almost caused him to give up.

Fortunately, his body was strong enough; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured.

[That damned wild monkey, what was that power just now? Wait... could it be?!]

Super Saiyan?! No! Impossible! That's just nonsense!

[That's it! I was just too nervous and surprised by him. Now I'll take him down.]

Emerging from the smoke of battle, a deep sense of dread flashed in Gula's bloodthirsty eyes, which had previously revealed no emotion.

He didn't know what methods Talot had used, but his intuition told him that if he didn't deal with this wild monkey quickly, he would be in big trouble in the future.

Talot is too much of a threat.

He shouldn't have played with him in the first place; he should have swiftly and decisively tortured and killed him.

"Wild monkey, I must say your strength has indeed impressed me, but this game of hunter and prey ends here. Let you and this planet turn into dust in the universe!!" With that, Gula leaped into the air, soaring thousands of meters into the sky.

As he raised one hand, powerful energy gathered in his palm and rapidly expanded.

In just a few seconds, a giant energy ball with a diameter of a kilometer was lifted high by Gula.

This move is Cooler's ultimate finishing move, Supernova, which is an improved version of the Death Energy Bomb and has even greater destructive power!

To prevent the recurrence of heresy, he had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

It should be said that he was just as overly arrogant as Frieza.

Thinking that Talot wouldn't survive this attack, Talot knew he couldn't possibly survive.

Little did they know that doing so would give Talot an opportunity to escape, and moreover, it would allow him to cover up any traces of his escape.

Frieza was so confident in delivering the message because he could no longer detect their presence.

Now, it's clear that Gula is about to repeat the same mistakes.

"In the end, isn't it the same thing? You two brothers have the same bad habit: you always think that the planet exploded and that even if life like ours survived by sheer luck, we would never be able to survive in the universe." Talot made his final assessment of Gura.

However, this time it won't be like last time. He wants to see how powerful Cooler's Supernova attack really is.
