New encounter

Ayaka stood at the edge of the mountain peak on Planet Foko, contemplating her next move. The thought of visiting Earth crossed her mind, but she dismissed it quickly, considering Sun Goku was just five years old. "It's still too early to go. Let's wait a few more years," she resolved, with a swoosh, flying towards the mountain, leaving a beautiful arc in the air.

The strongest creature on Planet Foko, the saber-tooth tiger with a power level of 467, was no match for Ayaka. Her power level had surpassed it years ago, and now, nothing on Planet Foko could challenge her. Her hesitation to leave was rooted in her goal to break through to the fifth level, a dive of 2,500 meters, which she achieved months ago. Over the past years, she had transformed from a seemingly useless nerd into a powerful Sion with a power level of 860. Despite some hiccups and surprises, these years marked the beginning of a new chapter for Ayaka.

She knew it was time to leave Planet Foko. Staying any longer wouldn't benefit her much, so she decided to explore other planets. Her home, a cave on a mountain peak initially belonging to a brown bear, was now packed up. With an Instant Transmission, she left Planet Foko, where she had lived for years.

Arriving on a distant planet, she noted the lack of civilization. No life was visible except for strange, cactus-like plants. The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, unpleasant to breathe. Just as she was about to leave using Instant Transmission, a bright fireball crashed from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud explosion. Thick smoke and dust filled the air. With her sharp eyesight, Ayaka soon discovered it was a spaceship.

"What a coincidence," Ayaka smiled and flew towards the place where the spaceship had crashed. Surprisingly, it landed just as she was planning to leave. It was a disc-shaped spaceship about 150 meters in diameter—a small to medium-sized spaceship. At this time, the spaceship was emitting black smoke, obviously scrapped. Ayaka landed near the spaceship and began to survey it. The hatch of the spaceship opened, and a man came out from inside. The man looked to be around 30 years old, wearing a beige leather coat. The upper body was draped with a one-shoulder animal fur, and at the neck and wrists were furry cotton.

"Such a racy look... have I seen him somewhere?" Ayaka slightly froze. A vague shadow flashed in her mind, and she seemed to have some impression. She always felt like she'd seen this man somewhere before but couldn't remember for a moment. "That's right, this is a Yrdan's outfit!" With a clap of her hands, Ayaka finally remembered. This was the traditional outfit of the Yrads. When she mentioned Planet Yadrat, many people might not know it; however, if she mentioned the clothes that Sun Goku wore when he returned to Earth after defeating Frieza on Planet Namek, many people would have an impression. That is Planet Yadrat, a planet full of magical secret techniques where Sun Goku learned his Instant Transmission.

The Yrdan man also saw Ayaka and there was some surprise in his eyes, not expecting to meet a human on this barren planet. "May I ask if you are a Yrdan?" a very polite voice rang out. However, Ayaka froze after the question because she was speaking the Saiyan language. How could the Yrdan understand it?

"My name is Podiya. I am a Yrdan," the man reflexively replied when he heard Ayaka's question. Then, when he saw the tail behind Ayaka, he reacted, "So, you're a Saiyan young lady. Since the destruction of the Saiyan Planet, I thought I would never see Saiyans again."

The Saiyans were famous in the universe, but their reputation was not a good one because of their aggressiveness. They were indeed powerful, but they gave the impression that they were mostly stuck at a brutal level without strong humility and elegance. Not to mention that Saiyan national appeal, especially after following King Frieza, the Saiyans became one of several major battle groups on the front line of Frieza's legion. For this reason, Frieza took a lot of blame.

Of course, the Saiyan's home planet, Planet Vegeta, was turned into pieces of the universe. All the Saiyans were instantly removed from the universe, which also brought a considerable shock to the entire universe. How could such a powerful warrior race suddenly disappear? With the destruction of the home planet, coupled with the large number of Saiyans gathered on it, it could be said that only a minimal number of Saiyans survived that natural disaster. In the universe, there were peace-loving peoples, and there were also peoples who preferred to fight. Those peace-loving nations were naturally rejoicing when they heard that the Saiyans had suffered a natural disaster. However, those who liked to fight considered the disappearance of the Saiyans a significant loss. The death of a rabbit and fox hurt their class, while the disappearance of a strong nation left people lamenting.

Podiya's answer left Ayaka dumbfounded because he understood the language of the Saiyans. Podiya saw that Ayaka stayed there without speaking for some reason and thought she was lost in thought because she heard that her home planet was destroyed.
