After unleashing his ultimate attack, Talot vaguely felt that a strange new power had emerged within his body.
This peculiar sensation erased the exhaustion he had felt during the battle, making both his body and spirit more exhilarated.
The desire to fight.
Perhaps this is the nature of a Saiyan.
At this moment, Cooler was staring daggers at Talot.
Slowly patting the dust off his body, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes.
“This is the first time I have suffered such a serious injury. It’s quite interesting, this feeling of pain. Wild monkey, to have fought me to this extent—even if you die, you can be proud of your life.”
“I’ve decided. I will execute you in my final form.”
“My foolish brother and ignorant father have never seen my final form before.”
“A friendly reminder—after transforming, my power level will reach 470 million.”
“It’s probably even higher than what you initially estimated. Heh… Heh… Heh… Heh…!!!”
Cooler was incredibly arrogant and conceited.
But as Frieza’s older brother, possessing a power level of 470 million, he was unrivaled in this era.
Such arrogance was only natural.
“So what if your power level can reach 470 million?! Power level doesn’t mean everything! Weren’t you just beaten to a pulp by me?!”
Talot was fully prepared to fight.
This time, he did not try to stop it—instead, he was looking forward to it.
Since he couldn’t finish off Cooler before his transformation, he would use Cooler’s transformation to carry out another plan.
“Your courage is commendable, but it’s a pity that you’re still stubborn when death is upon you!!”
“If you beg for mercy, I might just spare you!!!”
As his mocking voice echoed, Cooler no longer hesitated.
He let out a roar toward the sky, fully unleashing his aura.
His body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, undergoing a drastic transformation.
His aura skyrocketed at an astonishing rate, and a terrifying storm rapidly spread outward from Cooler as the center.
With Ki Sense, not only Talot but everyone could perceive the terrifying level to which Cooler’s aura had skyrocketed.
This overwhelming pressure caused the planet beneath them to tremble violently.
The atmospheric pressure changed, tearing apart the ground within a hundred-mile radius.
The sky turned pitch black due to the expansion of energy. Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the earth. The scene was terrifying, as if everything is going to be completely annihilated.
Thunder rumbled. Fierce winds howled. Sky and ground shook.
At this moment, the world seemed to be nearing its end!
…
Other World.
On North Kai’s Planet.
North Kai was drenched in sweat. The moment Cooler revealed his true power, he knew things had taken a disastrous turn.
Cooler was an absolute monster. Just as he had predicted, even though Talot was strong, there was no way he could defeat Cooler.
But getting this far was already enough. Cooler was still transforming. This was the perfect chance to escape!
North Kai immediately used telepathy to contact Talot…
…
On the battlefield.
Cooler’s transformation continued. The oppressive force radiating from his body grew even more terrifying.
A hundred meters away, Talot watched Cooler’s transformation. His heart grew heavier. Even his breathing frequency was affected.
He knew there was a big gap in power between him and Cooler. But he hadn’t expected such a huge difference of nearly 300 million.
Even within the same hundred million-level range…
【Talot, it’s about time to come back. You’ve seen Cooler’s strength now. If you fight him head-on, you won’t stand a chance.】North Kai’s voice echoed in Talot’s mind.
【Of course, I know I’m not his match. But as a Saiyan, retreating without a fight would be too humiliating. Besides, I want to experience firsthand just how powerful a 470 million power level really is!!!】Talot responded.
【You… Never mind, do whatever you want. I just hope that when you come back, you’re not wearing a halo over your head.】North Kai knew Talot had made up his mind.
No amount of persuasion would change that.
He could only hope that Talot would return alive.
After all, once power reaches a certain level, even an escape technique like Instant Transmission might become difficult to execute.
To prevent any mishaps, Talot immediately used telepathy to contact Raditz and Salari.
【Raditz, Salari, you two go back to North Kai’s Planet first. Leave this to me.】
Far from the battlefield, Raditz and Salari were both stunned upon receiving Talot’s message.
“Are you really planning to face that monster alone? Talot, I know you’re strong, but this is too risky… Let’s just leave while we still can…” Raditz hesitated.
Their power was too weak. Staying here would only put them in even greater danger.
“Brother Talot, if we leave, we leave together! Even if my power level is low, I can still help! I won’t abandon you!” Salari answered firmly.
Her determined attitude made it clear—she was set on leaving together with Talot.
Talot had already expected this from Salari. Without hesitation, he sternly reprimanded her.
“If you two stay here, you’ll only hinder me! I am absolutely confident that I can escape at the critical moment.”
“But you two can’t.”
“Go back to North Kai. From there, you can still watch what’s happening through him.”
Talot explained sincerely. He couldn’t outright call them burdens. But staying would only drag him down.
Hearing Talot’s words, Raditz understood completely.
Salari, however, remained stubborn.
But with North Kai’s subtle persuasion, even she eventually realized that staying would only put more pressure on Talot.
As Raditz and Salari departed, Talot was finally free of any concerns. At this moment, he could go all out.
Talot’s determined gaze shifted back to Cooler. By now, Cooler had completed his transformation.
“Heh heh heh heh!! Take a good look at this! Very soon, you’ll die!!” Cooler, now in his final form, let out a cold, chilling laugh.
At this point, it wasn’t just about his body becoming stronger. The sheer pressure pervading the air was enough to prove that Cooler was no longer the same as before.
“So this is your final form? Impressive! It was worth the wait!”
“Come, let me experience firsthand just how powerful your 470 million power level really is?!” Talot said eagerly, his eyes blazing with a fighting spirit.
