The spaceship entered the planet’s airspace, and the true appearance of the planet came into view for Talot and the others.
Because there was no reflected light, the entire planet was shrouded in a turbid and deathly aura.
The color of the planet had also turned into a yellowish-brown.
The spaceship descended onto the planet.
The combatants who had been waiting on this planet for long immediately obtained information through their scouters.
Not only did they lock onto Talot and the other three, but everyone also unleashed their auras and chased after them.
Individually, their power levels were indeed no match for the 40,000 power level, but they had numbers on their side. In a group fight, even a 40,000 power level opponent wouldn’t be able to escape.
Finally, Bartz and Katz also joined the pursuit.
The spaceship smoothly landed on a barren, mountainous terrain.
The hatch opened, and Talot, Salari, and Raditz came out of the spaceship one after another, leaping down.
Before they could even express their feelings, the eighteen captain-level combatants from the Frieza Force and the two Ginyu Force members descended from the sky.
“What an impressive lineup, a full twenty high-level combatants. I can see that Frieza really wants us dead quickly,” Talot said with a smile, scanning everyone present.
Next came the mutual power level probing.
‘Beep beep beep…!!’ The sounds were incessant.
The only thing that surprised Talot was Bartz and Katz, who indeed had some skills.
Moreover, these two opponents were even beyond the current strength of Salari and Raditz.
“The more opponents there are, the more it can prove my strength! Except for those two, who I admit I can’t match, the others, hehehe~!” Raditz rubbed his hands together, his eyes flashing with excitement as he let out a cold laugh.
He knows his own limitations. Raditz was not the same Raditz from the original work.
“The looks on these guys’ faces are really annoying, Brother Talot. Except for those two who pose some threat, the highest power level among the others is only 32,000,” Salari said with a cold glint in her eyes, signaling to Talot.
Talot nodded without speaking, but the meaning was clear.
They had already discussed it earlier—the weaker ones would be handled by the two of them.
As for the two strongest, Talot would take care of them.
On the other side, after hearing Talot and his companions’ arrogant and boastful remarks, a wave of angry curses erupted.
They had clearly overlooked one thing: Talot and his group had known this was a trap from the start, yet they still came.
As for Bartz and Katz, they didn’t get angry after hearing Talot’s words. Instead, they smiled provocatively.
They had also used their advanced scouter to detect the power levels of the group.
Of course, they didn’t know that the values they detected were just what Talot and the others had randomly shown them.
“Just as the intel said, the power level is 40,000. It seems this is the target Saiyan monkey, Talot. The two Saiyan monkeys beside him—one of them was said to be trash with a power level of only 900, but now his power level has surpassed 20,000. I wonder what method they used to become so strong?” Katz voiced his thoughts, also informing Bartz of the intel.
His older brother is simple-minded and didn’t care much about intel. As long as the mission was completed, that was all that mattered.
“Hmph!!! No matter what, we’re really lucky this time! If we take them down, Lord Frieza will definitely value us even more,” Bartz said bluntly.
Hearing his older brother’s words, Katz nodded. That was indeed the goal.
“So, will you do it, or should I?!”
Bartz displayed his ferocious side. He had already thought about how to torment Talot and the other two, making them wish they could neither live nor die.
As a member of the Ginyu Force, Bartz was infamous for his brutal methods.
“You do it. Remember to not kill him. Also, ask him about the method he used to get stronger. Lord Frieza might be very interested,” Katz said with a smile.
“I know!!” Bartz replied with a cruel grin.
Then, he walked toward Talot. While the other captain-level combatants were still cursing, he charged up his arm and fired an energy blast.
The target was the spaceship behind Talot, as he feared Talot and his group might try to escape if they were losing.
Although he thought Talot and the others had no chance of escaping, he did this just in case.
This energy blast, with its boundless destructive power, was terrifying enough to instantly kill beings with a power level of twenty or thirty thousand.
Bartz wanted to make sure Talot wouldn’t dare to block or intercept it.
What he didn’t know was that an energy attack of this level posed no threat to Talot whatsoever.
With just a glance, Talot’s external ki deflected the incoming energy blast back.
And the target of the deflection was the position of the other eighteen captain-level combatants.
“Not good!! Dodge, now!!” The leader of the captains, with a power level of 22,000, sensed danger and immediately fled.
Seeing this, the other captains also hurriedly dodged.
Those who reacted in time were fine, escaping with just a scare.
But two unlucky ones failed to dodge in time…
‘BOOM~~!!!!’ The energy blast exploded, and the terrifying destructive force instantly obliterated the two unlucky ones, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Before the battle had even begun, they had already lost two of the eighteen captain-level combatants.
And they died in a very unfair way, though no one dared to blame or resent Bartz.
After all, he was a powerful combatant with a power level of 68,000.
Even if all of them combined their strength, they wouldn’t be a match for a single finger of Bartz.
This situation left Bartz in disbelief, and Katz was equally surprised.
“This guy… he actually deflected my attack so effortlessly?!” Bartz said, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been absolutely confident in that attack.
With a mere power level of 40,000, even if Talot could block it, it shouldn’t have been so easy.
“Something’s not right. At that moment, that brat’s power level changed. I have a feeling it surpassed 60,000! Otherwise, there’s no way he could have deflected your energy blast so casually. But his power level spiked momentarily and then returned to normal,” Katz said, furrowing his brow as he noticed something, warning Bartz.
It had to be said, he was very clever and astute.
With just one move of Talot, he had picked up on some clues. Truly a super talent.
“A sudden increase in power level? Could this guy be like Captain Ginyu, able to change his power level at will? Do Saiyan monkeys have that kind of ability?” Bartz was shocked, recalling something.
He put away his arrogance. If Talot was really like Ginyu, then he might be even more troublesome than they had imagined.
Facing the now cautious Bartz, Talot wasn’t surprised.
After all, Bartz had a power level of 68,000. Even if he was simple-minded, he wasn’t an idiot.
With a mocking gaze, Talot scanned Bartz and Katz but did not make a move.
