The sky gradually darkened, black clouds loomed, and thunder rumbled. The entire sky looked as if the end of the world was coming, exceptionally terrifying.
In the forest, fierce winds howled continuously, causing trees and plants to sway incessantly.
As this prelude passed, heavy rain fell from the sky, covering everything visible to the naked eye.
In a secluded valley.
Talot, Gine, and Selari stayed inside the Spaceship to avoid the storm.
Unlike the storms of ordinary planets, the storms on this planet were true storms. The size and intensity of the raindrops were simply incomparable to ordinary storms.
There was a saying in his previous life that perfectly described the scene at this moment: it was as if the sky was really pouring water down.
If he wasn't sure that the Spaceship could withstand it completely, Talot would have already piloted the Spaceship away from the surface.
Inside the Spaceship.
Watching the world outside being swept by the heavy rain, Talot's thoughts also drifted away.
Unknowingly, nearly two hours passed.
The rain weakened, turning into a drizzle. Talot was about to go out for some fresh air when the Battle Power Detector received a message.
It was an announcement from the Frieza Army regarding the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
It came so suddenly that Talot, who had been anticipating it, was stunned.
"Finally, it's here?"
After brewing his emotions for a long time, Talot muttered to himself in a low voice.
Since arriving on Aoyun Planet...
No! He should say that since the day he set off, Talot had been calculating and planning the time.
He had prepared too early, which caused him to slowly and habitually forget about it.
I wonder if Bardock died in the explosion, or... His brain involuntarily went to that side story.
If he died in the planet's explosion, then he would definitely use the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life.
But if Bardock traveled to the past timeline like in that side story, then that would be another matter.
Talot had considered this question long ago.
If Bardock really traveled through time, not to mention whether Shenron's ability could bring him back, just the fact that Bardock would become a Super Saiyan in the past and know the plot, Talot wouldn't want to change it.
As his thoughts deepened, Gine and Selari, who had been resting in the Spaceship's room, rushed out.
Clearly, they had just seen the message on the Battle Power Detector.
"Talot, did you receive it? Planet Vegeta exploded due to a huge meteor impact...!!" Gine said with a nervous expression and an anxious tone.
A tremor could be heard in her voice, as she was shocked by the news, and at the same time, she was panicking.
Without a doubt, she was worried about Bardock.
When she left Planet Vegeta, she had a strange feeling, and now that feeling, which might have been their last meeting, had come true.
Her mood became increasingly complex, and the panic made Gine's face turn pale, and her body broke out in a cold sweat.
And in those eyes, there were already faint traces of mist, and her emotions were showing signs of losing control.
Just as Talot had thought, Gine would definitely have an emotional outburst.
"I also received the news of Planet Vegeta's explosion, but Aunt Gine, don't worry. If the news is true, then the matter has already happened. We can't lose our composure. Instead, we should be glad, because Uncle Bardock and I predicted this correctly. At least we avoided the crisis of the planet's explosion," Talot said, comforting her.
"Talot-niisama and Uncle Bardock predicted it?" Selari interjected, "Why didn't you tell me?"
These words were clearly a complaint that Talot had concealed the matter.
Clearly, Selari was also having a hard time accepting it.
Although she was only five years old and had few attachments, she was indeed very mature.
Now that such a big matter had been concealed, it was inevitable that she would be annoyed.
It was as if everyone knew this major event was about to happen, but the family deliberately excluded her. Even the dullest person would feel like an outsider.
"It's my fault for not telling you. I was afraid that telling you would put a burden on you. Besides, nothing major has happened on Planet Vegeta recently, and we haven't received any bad news, so I naturally assumed I was overthinking it," Talot reassured Selari, indirectly trying to comfort Gine.
Selari was easy to appease, but Gine might not be.
Afraid of being blamed by Gine, Talot could only speak this way, distancing himself from the situation.
At least, he made it clear that he couldn't be certain and didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
This way, Gine wouldn't develop negative feelings towards him, and he could proceed with his next plan.
"I suddenly feel like I'm dreaming. Talot, tell me, Bardock will be alright, right?" Gine took deep breaths, trying to keep herself from breaking down.
She wanted a definite answer.
At this moment, she regretted letting Talot modify all the Battle Power Detectors in the first place. Now, they didn't even have communication functions and could only passively receive messages.
"I think Uncle Bardock must have planned everything out. Besides, Uncle Bardock went out on a mission after we left Planet Vegeta. It hasn't been that long, so he probably hasn't finished his mission yet." Unable to directly reveal the truth, Talot could only tell a white lie.
However, he really couldn't determine whether Bardock was dead or alive.
Hearing Talot's words, Gine calmed down slightly.
This was a hope, allowing her to have a buffer before knowing the truth.
"I can understand how you feel right now, Aunt Gine. I also know that you might want to go back immediately to see if the news is true, but I can't take you back right now."
"Before we left, Uncle Bardock told us! Unless he actively contacts us and finds us, we absolutely cannot answer or act without permission."
"Moreover, I suspect that the explosion of Planet Vegeta wasn't caused by a meteorite impact, but Frieza secretly doing it! If we go back now, we will definitely be killed!"
Nipping the fantasy in the bud, Talot kept talking.
He wanted Gine to know that they absolutely couldn't expose themselves now, and they couldn't let all of Bardock's preparations be in vain.
"But... but..." Gine's delicate body trembled.
She was conflicted because Talot was right.
"Brother Talot, can we really not go back...? If Planet Vegeta really exploded, then we won't have a home anymore," Selari said with a touch of sadness.
"No! As long as we are together, anywhere is home!" Talot sighed. He could understand this sentiment.
It was like he could never return to his previous life on Earth. That Earth was the home that Talot acknowledged deep down in his heart.
This was something that even five years on Planet Vegeta couldn't change.
