Power Level Doesn't Increase Just Because You Say So
Chapter 2: Power Levels Aren't Raised Just by Saying So; Combat Power Isn't Increased Just by Thinking About It
Despite being a seasoned Dragon Ball fan, knowing all the original plotlines, understanding the future of this world like the back of his hand, and even knowing all sorts of ways to get stronger...
Actually walking the path of cultivation and getting stronger was another matter entirely.
Talot had to admit, he sometimes envied those transmigrators in novels.
Those people who came to the Dragon Ball world either started as God of Destruction candidates, or trainee Angels, and even more awesome ones became sworn brothers with Zeno directly.
Even without those encounters, the vast majority of transmigrators came with systems, whether it was check-ins, or combat power increasing by 1 per second, and so on.
They were practically cheating, not needing to do anything, their strength soaring in an instant, obliterating everything.
In comparison, when it came to him, he had nothing.
Reality taught Talot a lesson: not all transmigrators can start with a counterattack and become awesome.
Transmigrators like him could only take the path of hard work and steady development.
To comfort himself, he told himself it was fortunate he transmigrated into a Saiyan, not another race.
Otherwise, even if he surpassed warriors of the same level in the early stages of the plot with various methods, in the later stages, it would still be the Saiyans' world. No matter how good your talent or how high your realm, you couldn't withstand a Saiyan transformation.
As long as a Saiyan transformed, there was nothing more dazzling in this world.
Calming down, Talot stopped thinking about these things.
For him, he was already very content.
He wasn't someone with unrealistic expectations.
Five years...
No! To be precise, it was less than four years.
Indeed, compared to the combat power of hundreds of millions, his strength was nothing to look at, but at least he wasn't a waste!
Increasing from 200 points of combat power to 990 points, this strength could even destroy a planet, and the power gained through hard work made Talot feel grounded.
"Next, I still need to think carefully about how to reasonably leave Planet Vegeta. According to the news Raditz brought a few days ago, Vegeta will soon be taking an elite team to conquer advanced planets." Thinking carefully, Talot thought back to the impending crisis.
If there were no accidents, Planet Vegeta would be destroyed by Frieza in at most half a year to a year.
Subsequently, the vast majority of Saiyans would be wiped out, leaving only a few to serve as Frieza's playthings.
Regarding this crisis concerning his own life, Talot had once thought that if he were a low-class warrior, he would have been scattered to some of the lowest-level planets to invade as the worst batch of pawns from the start.
If that were the case, he wouldn't need to be so anxious now.
However, each has its own advantages. Just consider how many low-class Saiyan infants are sent out every year, and how many of them survive? Someone as lucky as Kakarot was due to the protagonist's halo.
In any case, things have already come to this, so he could only think of other ways to break the situation.
With his strength, it was impossible to confront Frieza head-on. After all, he couldn't even beat Frieza's soldiers.
This wasn't alarmist talk, but something he had personally experienced and seen.
Ever since Frieza took over King Cold's position years ago and renamed the legion the Frieza Force, Planet Vegeta had also begun to receive special attention, and Frieza had arranged for many elite soldiers to be stationed on the planet.
It was said to be in preparation for unforeseen circumstances, assisting the Saiyans in managing planetary affairs, but in reality, it was to monitor the Saiyans' every move, and even a kind of deterrence.
Among these warriors, the weakest had several hundred points of combat power, the stronger ones had over a thousand points, and some even had several thousand points.
So, not to mention him confronting them, even if adult Saiyans took action, they might not be a match.
Even if the combat power was up to par, the strength of power wasn't just a numerical value, but also influenced by combat experience, combat skills, and combat abilities, among other factors.
His thoughts drifted away again.
Just then, Talot noticed a strange sensation, causing him to stop. For a moment, he felt as if he had encountered some kind of natural enemy, and his hair stood on end.
"What's this feeling... about?!" Talot's mind tightened, and an ominous premonition spread in his heart.
Because he cultivated ki, especially since the direction of his cultivation seemed to have some problems, his instinctual premonition of danger became more and more acute.
His body trembled involuntarily. He had only felt this way when he saw Frieza and Dodoria.
Talot quickly shifted his gaze and looked towards the Royal City in the distance.
"Is Frieza here again? No, that's not right! I don't sense Frieza's evil energy, nor the energy of Dodoria and Zarbon, those elite commanders!"
A strong sense of unease clearly arose, yet he couldn't sense any presence, and the battle power detector showed no information.
The fear brought by this unknown was especially terrifying.
For a time, Talot's breathing became rapid, and his heart rate accelerated.
At the same time, inexplicably, there was even a sense of suffocation.
He was sure, this was definitely not an illusion!
"Who exactly can bring me this feeling? At this time... Wait! Could it be?!!!"
Exclamation marks popped up in his mind, and two figures quickly appeared.
God of Destruction! And an Angel!
"That's it! It must be! Otherwise, how could I not sense their energy? Only the energy of a god is something I can't sense! Moreover, it can bring me absolute deterrence." Talot gasped.
Memories of the original story also flooded into his mind.
Before Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, wasn't it when God of Destruction Beerus and Angel Whis came to Planet Vegeta for a meal?
Although the original story only had such a brief snippet, as a transmigrator, he knew all kinds of information like the back of his hand.
After transmigrating, Talot had always thought about escaping the planet before Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, but he forgot to think deeply about the main reason.
Frieza was indeed the culprit, but the root cause of the destruction of Planet Vegeta was that he received the order from God of Destruction Beerus.
That's why he acted without hesitation, not only eliminating the Saiyans' threat to himself, but also expressing his loyalty to God of Destruction Beerus.
"Hiss~! If I re-estimate according to this progress, I'm afraid it won't be more than two months before Frieza makes his move!"
Feeling more and more uneasy, Talot quickened his pace towards his home.
He was going to confirm one thing, and that 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 able to grow up carefree thanks to the care of Bardock and Gine.
Especially Gine, who took care of him like her own son, even better than she treated Raditz.
In the words of Gine and Bardock, his parents were very good brothers and sisters with them.
