Increasing one’s power level isn’t something that can be done just because you want to.
Despite being a seasoned Dragon Ball fan, familiar with all the original work’s storyline, knowing the future of this world like the back of his hand, and even being aware of various methods to become stronger.
However, truly embarking on the path of training to become stronger is another matter.
Talot couldn’t help but sometimes envy those novel characters who transmigrate to another world.
Those people arrive in the Dragon Ball world and start either as a God of Destruction candidate, a Trainee Angel, or even more impressively, as someone who directly befriends Zeno.
Even if they aren’t so lucky, most transmigrators come with their own system, like signing in to gain power level +1 every second, and so on.
With cheats like these, there’s no need to do anything. Strength skyrockets in an instant, defeating everyone and everything in a flash.
In comparison, when it’s his turn, he got nothing.
Reality taught Talot one thing: not all transmigrators can start off with a bl*ody awesome rise to power.
For a transmigrator like him, the only way to grow is through hard work and steady development.
To comfort himself, he thought at least he was lucky to transmigrate as a Saiyan and not another race.
Otherwise, even if he surpassed his peers early on using various methods, in the later stages, it would still be the Saiyans’ world. No matter how great the talent or high the realm, they can’t withstand a Saiyan’s transformation.
Once a Saiyan transforms, nothing in this world shines brighter.
Calming himself with great effort, Talot stopped thinking about these irrelevant things.
He was already quite satisfied.
He wasn’t someone with lofty ambitions.
Five years…
No!
To be precise, less than four years.
Compared to those with power levels in the hundreds of millions, his strength was insignificant, but at least he wasn’t a trash! [*Raditz dialogue of “A power level of only 5, What trash.]
His power level increased from 200 to 990, which was enough to destroy planets. The strength he gained through diligent training felt real to Talot.
“Next, I need to focus on figuring out a reasonable way to leave Planet Vegeta. According to the news Raditz brought a few days ago, Vegeta will soon lead an elite team to conquer high-level planets.” Deep in thought, Talot recalled the impending crisis.
If nothing unexpected happens, within at most six months to a year, Planet Vegeta will be destroyed by Frieza.
As a result, most Saiyans will be annihilated, leaving only a few as Frieza’s playthings.
For this crisis which concerns his life, Talot once thought that if he were a low-class warrior, he would be considered one of the worst chess pieces and sent to invade some of the lowest-level planets.
If that were the case, he wouldn’t need to be as anxious as he is now.
However, each situation has its advantages. For instance, of the many low-class warrior babies sent out by the Saiyans every year, how many survive?
Lucky ones like Kakarot have the protagonist’s halo.
Anyway, things have come to this, so he has to think of other ways to break the situation.
With his strength, it’s impossible to fight Frieza head-on, as he can’t even beat Frieza’s soldiers.
This isn’t an exaggeration, but something he personally witnessed.
Ever since Frieza took over King Cold’s position and renamed the army as Frieza Force many years ago, Planet Vegeta has begun to receive special attention. Frieza also arranged for many elite soldiers from the army to be stationed on the planet.
Officially, it was for emergencies and assisting the Saiyans in managing planetary affairs, but in reality, they monitor the Saiyans’ every move and act as a deterrent.
Among these soldiers, even the weakest have the power level in several hundreds, stronger ones exceed one thousand, and some are even stronger with power level in thousands.
So, not to mention him fighting them, even adult Saiyans might not be their match.
Even if the power level meets the standard, strength is not just about numbers. It is also influenced by combat experience, combat skills, and combat abilities, among other factors.
His thoughts drifted further.
At this moment, Talot sensed a strange Ki, making him stop in his tracks. Feeling like he had encountered a predator, his hair stood on end.
“This feeling… what’s going on?!” Talot tensed up, and a sense of foreboding spread in his heart.
Because he practiced Ki, especially due to some possible issues in his training direction, his instinct for sensing danger became increasingly sharp.
His body trembled involuntarily, a feeling he only experienced when seeing Frieza and Dodoria.
Talot quickly shifted his gaze and looked towards the distant royal city.
“Is Frieza here again? No, that’s not right! I didn’t sense Frieza’s evil aura, and it is also not the auras of those elite commanders, Dodoria or Zarbon!”
Despite feeling a strong sense of unease, he couldn’t sense any aura, and the scouter also showed no information.
This unknown fear was especially terrifying.
For a moment, Talot’s breathing became rapid, and his heart rate increased.
At the same time, inexplicably, he felt a hint of suffocation.
This was definitely not an illusion!
“Who could make me feel this way…this time… wait! Could it be?!!!”
An exclamation mark appeared in his mind, quickly followed by two figures.
God of Destruction!
Angel!
“Yes! It must be! Otherwise, how could I not sense the aura? Only a god’s aura is something I can’t perceive! And it is also giving me a feeling of absolute deterrence,” Talot gasped.
In his mind, memories of the original work’s plot emerged.
Before Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, didn’t the God of Destruction Beerus and Angel Whis come to Planet Vegeta for a meal?
Although the scene in the original work was just a brief segment, as a transmigrator, he knew all kinds of information inside out.
After crossing over, Talot always thought of escaping Planet Vegeta before its destruction by Frieza, but he forgot to deeply consider the main reason.
Frieza was indeed the main culprit, but the root cause of Planet Vegeta’s destruction was that he received the order from the God of Destruction Beerus.
That’s why he acted without hesitation, not only eliminating the Saiyans who were a threat to him, but also showing loyalty to the God of Destruction Beerus.
“Hiss~! At this rate, Frieza will likely attack in two months!”
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Talot quickened his pace towards his home.
He needed to confirm something, which was when Bardock would return.
The countdown to the planet’s destruction began when Bardock returned from invading Planet Cereal.
One thing worth mentioning is that over the years, he had been under the care of Bardock and Gine, allowing him to grow up without worries.
Especially Gine, who took care of him like her own son, even better than she treated Raditz.
In Gine and Bardock’s words, his parents were like a brother and sister to them.
