Standing face to face with Raditz.
Talot's form had stabilized at Super Saiyan Full Power.
His battle power soared to nearly 490 million, close to 500 million.
Compared to Raditz, anyone could easily see who was stronger.
Facing such a powerful Talot, Raditz was covered in sweat, his heart filled with unease.
Despite both being Super Saiyans, the difference in strength was too great, and he still felt immense pressure.
Especially since he had only just transformed, while Talot had already stabilized his transformation and reached Full Power.
"As expected, the gap between us is too vast! Using you to find a new direction is the best choice, to prevent me from becoming overly arrogant due to my successful transformation." Raditz's words made Talot think highly of him again.
It had to be said that not only had he grown over the years, but Raditz had also become more mature.
At least, after being with Blonde Launch and establishing a relationship, he had grown into an adult.
A man's maturity sometimes comes so suddenly and directly.
"So, I haven't held back against you. Although what I'm using now isn't my full strength, it's all the power of a Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power," Talot said with a smile.
His seemingly calm smile brought an even more direct impact to Raditz.
"You really are annoying sometimes. But even though I'm far weaker than you, I still have to fight you, otherwise my goal all this time will become a joke," Raditz complained before fully concentrating his power.
Knowing he would lose, he still pressed forward bravely.
Not because his opponent was Talot, but because of the Saiyan's courageous nature.
Moreover, having just broken through, Raditz also wanted to use Talot to master his power.
Talot nodded at him without saying a word.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words, and the atmosphere became unusually solemn and oppressive.
Until Raditz let out a shout, his body suddenly expanded due to the surge of energy. The next second, Raditz burst forward with a punch, swinging it down fiercely! *'BOOM!!!!'*
With a deafening roar, the earth shook.
Raditz maintained his punching motion, while Talot took the punch head-on without dodging.
Even though the punch hit his head, his cheek, even though the blow possessed extremely strong crushing power.
It only made Talot turn his face slightly, his head tilting a little.
Landing a punch, Raditz's eyes sharpened. Without stopping his attack, he delivered continuous, super-powerful blows to Talot's body.
Talot didn't choose to dodge any of these attacks, but instead took them head-on.
Raditz was hitting with enthusiasm, while Talot let him vent.
He had considered directly killing Raditz with one punch, but doing so would prevent him from feeling the difference in strength.
So he would let him hit to his heart's content before making his move.
In short, even if Raditz's attacks were very powerful, they were difficult to break through his defense. At most, they would only graze his skin, and his own self-healing ability could directly recover him.
The battle was one-sided, and Raditz's frenzied outburst triggered an extremely terrifying storm of energy.
Those who didn't know the situation couldn't tell, and only thought that Raditz had the upper hand, with Talot unable to resist and only passively enduring.
But anyone with discerning eyes could see that Raditz's attacks seemed powerful, but they couldn't break through Talot's defense.
"Are my attacks so vulnerable in front of you? If that's the case, then take this! *Burst Double Bombardment!*" Leaping up, Raditz shouted in the sky.
As his hands spread wide, two pinkish-red energy balls with dense electricity formed, their power terrifying, causing warriors with battle powers below 100 million to be frightened.
Even warriors with battle powers above 100 million were stunned.
This attack was clearly something that no one present except Oliver and Selari could block.
This was inevitable. In the North Galaxy camp, besides Talot and Oliver, Selari was a newcomer, and there were only a few other experts with battle powers exceeding 100 million.
"Ahhh~! What are you doing? Talot, didn't we agree to act directly? If this move goes off, this area will be destroyed." North Kai grabbed his head with both hands in frustration.
"It's alright, North Kai, even if that attack really explodes, I can erect an energy barrier in the shortest amount of time to withstand the destruction, and the range can be controlled within the arena," Oliver reassured North Kai from the side.
However, North Kai's next sentence left him speechless, unsure of how to respond: "Wouldn't that still destroy the arena? Do you know how much effort it takes to repair an arena?"
That's how direct superiors are with their subordinates.
Oliver didn't dare to speak anymore, because any further words would only bring him more reprimands.
Selari stepped in to defuse the situation: "North Kai, out with the old, in with the new. If it really gets destroyed, we can just have Bulma come and help remodel it. The area Bulma remodeled last time is much more impressive than the rest of the North Galaxy."
North Kai understood the implication in Selari's words.
It seemed that this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Anyway, he really didn't want to put in the effort to remodel it himself.
But if Bulma came with Earth's technology to remodel it a bit, it wouldn't be impossible.
After all, she had been here before.
Last time, when the North Galaxy was destroyed due to battle, Bulma came to the rescue in time, directly revitalizing the Grand Kai Planet's North Galaxy outpost.
Especially since this was approved by Grand Kai himself.
Grand Kai's Grand Kai Hall and the back garden were all personally designed and improved by Bulma.
Because North Kai's change was too fast, everyone's first reaction was: Is this really the North Kai we know?
But he was North Kai, and they could only keep their thoughts to themselves.
In the sky, Raditz's aura soared, and the ultimate attack in his hands had been brewing to the extreme, and he threw it with a raised hand.
Two pink energy balls with electric light struck down one after another, and continued to expand as they traveled.
"The superimposed destructive power, as expected of your usual trick," Talot praised, and then golden flames ignited around him.
His aura slightly erupted, and then he raised his hand.
Naturally, he couldn't let it explode on the ground, after all, he had promised North Kai that he wouldn't cause a major destruction.
He took a deep breath, and then his expression changed slightly.
'Haaah~~!!!'
A muffled shout came from Talot's mouth.
In an instant, an infinite force burst out from his palm, like an invisible energy cannon, blocking the two huge energy balls that were like a hot knife through butter, and pushing them back.
This scene left Raditz in the sky at a loss, greatly surprised.
He felt the aura that Talot erupted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The Burst Double Bombardment brushed past him, and finally reached ten thousand meters in the sky.
'Boom!!!!!!'
'Boom!!!!!!'
The two explosions were deafening and earth-shattering.
The power alone dyed the sky red.
But who could have imagined that these two super energy balls were so easily deflected into the sky by Talot.
"Do you have any other tricks? If not, then I'm going to make my move." The words were transmitted to Raditz's ears along with his aura. Talot spoke very easily, not at all moved by the power of the two energy balls.
To put it bluntly, for Talot, whose Super Saiyan Full Power battle power reached nearly 500 million, Raditz's ultimate move was like the energy ball bombardment he casually unleashed.
If it weren't to let Raditz feel it more realistically, he would have directly used his power to forcefully resist and withstand the explosion.
For him, this level of attack could only raise some dust.
Raditz in the sky gritted his teeth after hearing Talot's words.
Although he clearly knew how powerful Talot was, he was still unwilling that he hadn't been able to change the situation at all after becoming a Super Saiyan.
"Of course it's not over!! You can block energy balls, but what about energy cannons?!" With a loud shout, Raditz opened his hands again.
The terrifying golden aura completely exploded in the sky, and the resulting storm raged in all directions.
At this moment, all beings on the entire Grand Kai Planet sensed the changes happening there.
Of course, it was the violent explosion that attracted them.
Most people also realized that it was commotion from the North Galaxy again. After all, in the past year or two, apart from the constant disturbances in the North Galaxy, the other galaxies remained calm. Even if there were occasional fights, they wouldn't be on such a large scale.
*Shining Impact Cannon!!!* A devastating move with enough power to destroy a planet was ready to be unleashed. Its formidable power level forcibly increased Raditz's strength by nearly 200 million units.
Exploding with the battle, increasing strength with unwillingness.
Saiyans are those who become braver and stronger in battle.
"Very good! Come on!" Raditz didn't stop because of a single setback, which made Talot even more impressed.
You should know that Talot had intentionally suppressed Raditz during the previous burst of energy.
If it were an ordinary being, they would inevitably suffer a mental shock and lose the will to resist.
"Take this, Talot! This is a strike with all my power!"
Accompanied by a roar, the terrifying Super Impact Cannon descended diagonally from the sky. During its advance, it caused the Grand Kai Planet to tremble violently.
If this really hit the Grand Kai Planet, even if it couldn't destroy the planet, it could destroy half of it.
Of course, Talot wouldn't let this move hit the Grand Kai Planet.
With his aura expanding, Talot calmly faced the incoming wave of energy.
This sense of oppression was indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, it was facing him as he was now. If it had been two years earlier, Raditz would have brought him tremendous pressure.
"It's barely passable, but even so, it's only a little bit." As the words fell, the energy cannon rapidly approached. Talot's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand and slapped out fiercely.
Boom!!!
With a roar, Raditz's Shining Impact Cannon was directly redirected by Talot's casual slap.
Not only was it bounced back into the sky, but it was also directly reflected back to Raditz's location.
"This?!" Seeing his strongest attack being easily reflected back, Raditz was dumbfounded, unable to express the bitterness in his heart.
As the energy cannon approached him, Raditz took a deep breath and forcibly controlled his body at the critical moment, narrowly avoiding the backlash of the Shining Impact Cannon.
He dodged it, but his body was still eroded by the aftershocks of the scorching energy.
At the same time, Raditz's mind suffered a huge blow.
Before he could recover.
At the same time, Talot had already begun to act.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to attack, and it would be the only time.
Whenever he attacked, it would definitely be to instantly kill Raditz! Whoosh~!! A sound of air being torn apart.
Talot didn't use Instant Transmission, but with his explosive power and speed, a distance of a thousand meters was only a blink of an eye.
Rushing in front of Raditz, Talot's domineering figure brought an even greater mental impact to Raditz.
Startled, Raditz instinctively wanted to adopt a defensive posture without thinking, but Talot wouldn't give him the chance.
His venting was over. Not only could he completely control his power, but he also had a deep understanding of his own strength.
A heavy punch was thrown...
Boom!!! A sound of flesh impacting flesh exploded.
Despite the seemingly formidable punch, Talot had only used less than 50% of his power.
Hitting Raditz's abdomen squarely, the fist had sunk in deeply.
Raditz's body stiffened from the heavy blow, his eyes widened, and a look of pain was written all over his face.
For him, Talot's punch was full of crushing power, making it impossible for him to resist or endure.
After a few seconds of pause, with a poof, a large mouthful of blood mixed with stomach acid spewed out of Raditz's mouth.
The Super Saiyan First Stage state collapsed, and Raditz's body fell forward uncontrollably, his chin resting on Talot's shoulder...
One-hit kill, without suspense! Raditz completely lost his ability to resist, his aura plummeted, and Talot slowly retracted his fist.
The fist, originally embedded in his flesh, was pulled out at this moment, bringing Raditz another wave of heart-wrenching pain.
"Damn it... Although I expected it... But you, the power of this punch... is really ruthless..." Raditz said, trembling, enduring the bone-crushing pain.
"But this punch can also wake you up, and make you realize that although you have broken through, you are still not strong." Talot wasn't joking at this time, but stating a fact.
Hearing these words, Raditz's mouth twitched.
His mood was already low, and with Talot saying this, it was as if he was an ant from the beginning, and he wasn't even an ant before.
"The road is still long, and the real goal is still far away! A new era has arrived, Raditz, we have to become stronger! Instead of being stagnant and self-righteous! That's why Gula died in my hands," Talot said.
That's right!
A new era has arrived.
At least for them, they have now entered a new height.
Compared to the past, they have indeed reached the peak, but they are still far behind those more powerful beings.
Not to mention comparing themselves to Gods of Destruction, to Angels... just considering the known existences in the Seventh Universe, with their current strength, they can't be said to be absolutely strong.
On Earth, there is the Demon Egg of Majin Buu. Once it breaks free, its strength will be at least in the hundreds of billions.
Not to mention existences like Majin Buu, just considering the Androids that appeared in later generations, and even Dabura, the Demon King, and the enemies from the movie plots that may exist in this world...
It seems that they have a lot of time, but in reality, there are not many years left.
In another year, it will be the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, and in another three years, it will be the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament...
Then there is a five-year span, and the Z storyline of the great universe era begins.
Of course, the plot has already changed, and he will decide what the future will be like.
But adding it all up, in at most another ten years, the rise of Son Goku and Vegeta will far exceed their progress in strength over the years.
Admittedly, in the original work, they constantly faced strong enemies, with the enhancement brought by strong pressure, but in other words, after the plot begins, if their strength cannot surpass Son Goku and Vegeta by an era, then they will soon be caught up.
If they are surpassed after working hard for twenty years in advance, then they would really be trash.
This is why Talot has been striving forward.
It is also why he has been encouraging and leading Selari and Raditz.
Who says that the future must be dominated by the protagonists Son Goku and Vegeta from the original work? Who says that the future development must follow the original route? After these years of experience, Talot has long been prepared, especially now that Selari and Raditz have completed the Super Saiyan transformation. After a period of adaptation, it is time for them to find Frieza.
...
After the fight with Raditz ended, Talot sent him back to the ground and healed his injuries with his healing ability.
The healing ability was also obtained from Porunga by making a wish. He usually doesn't use it much, after all, they have Senzu Beans.
However, in the current situation, his physical strength was not completely exhausted, and he only suffered minor injuries, so using a Senzu Bean would be a bit wasteful.
Although the number and production of Senzu Beans are now sufficient for them to use, they must also prepare for the future.
What if they don't have them in the future?
With his injuries recovered, Raditz's strength has been improved to a certain extent due to this outbreak breakthrough and battle.
His normal Battle Power soared from 3.5 million to 3.8 million.
It can be seen that Raditz's potential is no less than that of his younger brother Kakarot and Vegeta.
The reason for his weakness in the original work was that he was too reckless. Of course, another point is that he simply had no opportunity to fight and show his strength.
When there were battles, Nappa and Vegeta would take action to solve them, and all he could do was handle the logistics of the battlefield.
"3.8 million Battle Power, and if I transform into a Super Saiyan, that's 190 million Battle Power." Raditz clenched his fist excitedly.
Although he was just ravaged by Talot, he didn't care at all.
If Talot couldn't even kill him instantly, then the respect he had for Talot would gradually fade away, and he would also lose his way, after all, Talot has always been exploring new directions ahead.
"I was beaten up by Talot, but my strength has been improved again. 190 million Battle Power, with my normal 3.3 million Battle Power, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress you even if I transform into the first stage, second grade of Super Saiyan." Selari was a little stimulated, but she was still very proud, and continued, "However, if it's the third grade, I can still easily defeat you."
Selari said this to show her ability.
Her normal state strength indeed couldn't keep up with Raditz's rapid improvement, but in terms of Super Saiyan realm comprehension and advancement, Raditz was far behind her.
"Don't get cocky, Selari. I've already achieved the Super Saiyan transformation too. Just give me some time, and I'll reach Full Power faster than you, let alone the second or third stage," Raditz said, his eyes conveying a challenge to see who would reach it first.
Although Raditz knew he was far behind Selari, it was another goal for him.
Even if he lost in the end, at least he would have been constantly moving forward.
Selari agreed to the competition with a smile, then looked at Talot and said, "Talot, Raditz has successfully broken through now. Are we still going according to the previous plan?"
"It seems you can't wait any longer. Well, we've been waiting for Raditz's breakthrough all along," Talot said with a smile.
Raditz was a little embarrassed because he had indeed slowed everyone down. Otherwise, the situation might be different now.
"So, have you decided to make a move against Frieza? Talot," North Kai asked from the side.
He had known about Talot's plan for a long time, but he had never explicitly mentioned it.
A year ago, at Talot's request, he had been monitoring the situation in the lower realm, acting as an electronic eye to ensure that Frieza and his father wouldn't cause chaos in the universe.
Of course, the main thing was to prevent Frieza from going to Yardrat as well.
After all, Gula had died on Yardrat.
"That was the plan a year ago. Now that Selari and Raditz have both achieved the Super Saiyan transformation, the great battle with Frieza can indeed be carried out at any time."
"However, before that, we have to go back to Earth. Firstly, Raditz has just broken through and needs some time to consolidate and stabilize. Secondly, we have to go back and inform our relatives."
"Especially Aunt Gine. After all, Frieza is our clan's greatest enemy."
After saying that, Talot exchanged a deep look with North Kai.
When he said that Frieza was their greatest enemy, Talot clearly felt North Kai's emotions waver.
This was inevitable. Others might not know, but North Kai clearly knew that the Saiyan clan's greatest enemy was not Frieza, but God of Destruction Beerus.
Although without God of Destruction Beerus, Frieza would have destroyed the Saiyan clan sooner or later.
But it was indeed God of Destruction Beerus who issued the order first, which accelerated the matter.
"Well, after all, you're dealing with Frieza, so you have to be well prepared. Moreover, I've been subtly telling you all year that not only is your strength advancing by leaps and bounds, but Frieza has also been cultivating because you killed Gula. I don't know his current strength, but it's certain that he's probably not inferior to Gula now. And Frieza's father, King Cold, his strength should not be underestimated either," North Kai said euphemistically, but still stated the specific situation.
Selari and Raditz's expressions turned serious, understanding the meaning of his words.
North Kai was telling them not to force themselves if they couldn't defeat him.
Especially telling them that even though they had achieved the Super Saiyan transformation, if they couldn't compare to Gula from a year ago, then dealing with Frieza would still be difficult.
Talot wasn't flustered. Now that things had come to this, it was his own choice.
He also needed Frieza to become stronger, and preferably King Cold as well.
Only by facing enough pressure could he become stronger faster, otherwise the endpoint he could reach would always be limited.
"So, Frieza is still cultivating on his home planet? He hasn't come out all this time?" Talot asked.
He had thought that Frieza would soon reappear after learning the information a year ago, but now it seemed that Frieza was also quite cautious.
Perhaps because he didn't have enough experience and pressure, his strength hadn't improved so smoothly.
The original Frieza was compared to the super-era Son Goku and Vegeta, but now he was only compared to his older brother.
If he had surpassed Gula by a lot, he would have already come out of seclusion with his arrogant personality.
North Kai shook his head, "If he came out, I would have known immediately! Unfortunately, my power can't be fully exerted for some reason, otherwise, even if Frieza's home planet has substances that block mental detection, I can still detect the exact situation."
"It doesn't matter. Since Frieza is still cultivating, let him cultivate! We'll give him enough time and see if our Saiyan's talent and potential are stronger, or his Frieza's!" Talot nodded.
Arrogant, confident! If possible, Talot even hoped that Frieza could become strong enough to crush him.
In this way, there would be greater motivation and goals to become stronger.
Hearing his words, Selari and Raditz felt a surge of excitement.
Their strength was constantly improving, and now they had reached the point where they could defeat the former Frieza. It was impossible for Raditz and Selari to really fear Frieza becoming stronger.
"That's you. I knew you would be even happier facing a stronger Frieza," North Kai shook his head helplessly.
It was Talot who had created so many miracles. If it were someone else, he would have been worried sick.
"But Frieza is still in secluded training, so how should we proceed?" Selari voiced her question.
"At worst, we'll just charge straight onto Frieza's home planet! Let him taste what it's like to be invaded!" Raditz was quite direct, a fierce determination showing his current eagerness.
Talot shook his head: "Let's go back to Earth first, we have plenty of time. If he keeps hiding and doesn't come out, it won't be too late to go to his home planet to find him. Besides, his father King Cold is also our target..."
