Aboard an immensely large Frieza Spaceship.
Central Control Room.
Frieza was seated on his newly crafted throne, swirling a Wine Glass in his hand, savoring the delightful impact of the wine.
Beside him, his confidant Zarbon was reporting on all the events that had transpired within the legion in recent days.
Two key points.
First, his dear father had been gradually absorbing his legion in pursuit of power, but had been eliminated by a Super Saiyan shortly after initiating his plans.
This was within Frieza's expectations; he had sensed it vaguely during his training.
It was a special sensation brought about by the increase in strength, a unique ability of their race.
Second, the fragmentation within the legion over the past two years.
Everyone assumed he was either dead or hiding away, leading ambitious individuals to carve out their own territories and develop independently.
He had anticipated this as well, but he didn't care.
To him, it was like a grand game; hiding for a while and then re-emerging only created more amusement for him.
Finally, Zarbon relayed the latest intelligence he had obtained to Frieza.
Because the Saiyans were always a focal point of attention, Vegeta and Nappa in the legion had been under constant surveillance.
A month ago, Vegeta's Scouter had intercepted a message.
The Super Saiyan and his companions were indeed on Earth! This was the news Frieza most wanted to hear.
"You've worked hard, Mr. Zarbon. You've been invaluable during my absence these past two years," Frieza valued his confidants, especially Zarbon and Dodoria.
"Frieza, your majesty, you flatter me. It is what I should do. Also, I have been trying to send messages to Vegeta these past two days, but it is clear that Vegeta has also betrayed your majesty. Currently, the communication signals are being jammed by regional interference, and we cannot contact him," Zarbon also reported Vegeta's defection to Frieza.
"Hoh hoh hoh~! No need to worry. It's just as I expected. Our little Vegeta will eventually grow up. And sooner or later, we will meet again, and then I can deal with him," Frieza was not concerned about Vegeta's betrayal; he had long anticipated this day would come.
Vegeta was just a toy to him.
"Then… Frieza, your majesty, what is your next plan?" Zarbon inquired.
Although Frieza appeared calm and pleased, he knew that Frieza was actually very angry.
The current Frieza, just sitting there quietly, exuded an invisible aura that was enough to make one's hair stand on end. Not only was the body trembling, but even the soul felt fear.
"Need you ask? Of course, we're heading to Earth at full speed. It's time for me to settle things with that Super Saiyan! Once I've dealt with those wild monkeys, I'll slowly clean up the ants who betrayed me," Frieza's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and due to the emotional fluctuations, a bit of his power leaked out.
That little bit of power caused the entire Spaceship to tremble.
Zarbon, who was closest, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"I… I'll go arrange it…" After a long while, Zarbon recovered and quickly walked out of the Central Control Room.
Watching Zarbon's departing figure, Frieza smiled slightly.
Not long after, Zarbon returned and reported the time it would take to reach Earth.
"A year? That's not too long. Let those wild monkeys live a little longer."
...
Meanwhile, on North Kai Planet.
Through North Kai's abilities, he learned of Frieza's current situation and that Frieza was coming to Earth. Talot was full of anticipation, while North Kai was sweating profusely.
"You kid, sometimes I really wonder how your brain is wired. Aren't you worried at all?" North Kai asked.
Talot chuckled upon hearing this, "As a Saiyan, especially me, the stronger Frieza is, the more excited I get! You know, with my current strength, I rarely encounter suitable opponents. I've been letting Frieza get stronger all along, just to use the pressure he brings to become even stronger and enjoy the thrill of battle."
As he finished speaking, North Kai had already pulled out his white handkerchief, wiping his sweat while speechless.
Gregory and Bubbles beside him were not worried at all.
They had witnessed Talot's strength firsthand.
Even if Frieza was unimaginably powerful, they still felt that there was almost no one in the universe who could surpass Talot now.
"So, your plan is to just wait on Earth for Frieza to come knocking?" After calming down, North Kai asked.
"More or less, and a year is a long time. A lot can happen in between. At least for now, I have a lot to do, and I'll use this year to further improve my strength." Talot didn't hide anything from North Kai, stating his intentions.
Hearing this, North Kai didn't know what to say for a moment, so he simply let Talot do as he pleased.
Of course, he had given his warning upfront. It was Talot and the others who hadn't listened to his advice.
...
Returning to Earth from North Kai Planet.
Talot immediately found Selari and Bulma, then took them to Mount Paozu, informing Gine and Raditz, telling them about Frieza's arrival in a year.
Everyone reacted differently to the news of Frieza.
Because apart from Talot and his group, the others on Earth were unaware.
Especially Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu. Son Goku was equally clueless, but unlike them, he was more excited. The universe actually had such powerful opponents, expanding his worldview once again.
As for Nappa? His soul was about to be scared out of him.
Years of being dominated by fear had brought his dread of Frieza to its peak.
Especially now that Frieza had appeared, and according to Talot, his strength had greatly increased, which meant Frieza was even more terrifying than before.
Now, he was coming to Earth to seek revenge on the Saiyans.
"What should we do next?" Nappa was afraid, but thinking of the Super Saiyan, he tried to calm down and asked Talot, Raditz, and Selari.
"Hmph! That Frieza finally showed himself. I thought he would cower on that planet forever. The time for reckoning has finally come!" Raditz was emotional, as if he had found an outlet.
The irreconcilable feud between them Saiyans and Frieza should have been settled long ago.
If Talot hadn't been delaying it, they would have already attacked Frieza's lair.
Hearing Raditz's words, everyone could feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from him.
"Talot, since Frieza dares to come to Earth for revenge, why don't we take the initiative and go to Frieza! After we eliminate him, there will be no one in the universe who can threaten us." Selari chimed in.
Wiping out Frieza in one fell swoop and ushering in a new era was what Selari had always hoped for.
As long as Frieza was destroyed, their Saiyan clan would have their revenge.
"Selari is right, instead of waiting for him to come, let's take the initiative! I can't stand waiting a year!" Raditz said impatiently.
The atmosphere was a bit intense. The two were putting Talot on the spot, as if forcing him to comply.
Gine, seeing this, looked at Talot with concern, seeming to see the helplessness in his eyes, and said, "Alright, let's listen to Talot first. The more anxious you are, the less you'll be able to do anything well. I think Talot has already made a decision."
After she spoke, the intense atmosphere eased slightly, and Raditz and Selari were not so eager.
Talot gave Gine a grateful look, then looked at Raditz and Selari and said, "You're thinking too simply about killing Frieza. Indeed, according to the strength I sensed earlier, Frieza may not be a big threat to me, but for you, I'm afraid the current Frieza, after transforming, could easily kill you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Talot's words made Raditz and Selari's faces turn pale.
They were too confident in their own strength, leading to an underestimation of Frieza.
Or perhaps their strength had increased too quickly, creating an illusion. After all, King Cold's Battle Power after transforming was only 1 billion.
With their current strength, they could easily increase their Battle Power to over a billion.
"Damn it! So, Frieza has been hiding for so long, his strength has surpassed King Cold and Gula, so he's coming straight to Earth with such vigor." Raditz gritted his teeth, indignant.
They had worked so hard for so long, constantly getting stronger, but this was still the result.
He wouldn't doubt Talot's judgment, because Talot had never been wrong.
"It's not that I'm deliberately trying to discourage you, but Frieza's strength, after transforming, is probably at least comparable to that Bojack we dealt with before." Talot found a suitable target to describe the current strength of Frieza.
At least over three or four billion, maybe even over five billion.
The atmosphere became heavy, and most people didn't dare to speak.
But Nappa couldn't help but ask in horror, "Wait! Talot, are you saying that even you, who can become a Super Saiyan, aren't confident in defeating the current Frieza?!"
Nappa had always believed that the power of a Super Saiyan had reached the pinnacle of the universe, and even if Frieza appeared, he shouldn't be worth mentioning.
As a result, his concept was wrong.
"Nappa, the Super Saiyan transformation is just one method for us to increase our strength. Mastering the Super Saiyan transformation doesn't equate to invincibility. The universe is vast, and there are definitely people stronger than us, we just haven't encountered them yet.
"In other words, if the current you and the current me were to simultaneously transform into Super Saiyans and fight, do you think you could win? I can tell you definitively that even if you were to transform into a Super Saiyan and fight us now, we wouldn't even need to transform to defeat you easily."
Having said that, Talot didn't continue to convey this information.
He was just correcting Nappa's mistaken notion.
"Super Saiyan... isn't invincible?" Nappa was deeply inspired, muttering to himself.
Although he couldn't fully understand it yet, he had grasped the idea! "That guy named Frieza is so strong, then we'll just get stronger to face him!" Unlike the others, Son Goku was worthy of being the protagonist of the Dragon Ball world, fearless since childhood.
Selari and Raditz were also motivated by Son Goku's emotions, sweeping away the unwillingness in their hearts, and instead gaining greater motivation.
"That's right, even if we're not his match now, that might not be the case a year from now!" Raditz changed his thinking.
"That's right! And over the course of a year, we can definitely reach Super Saiyan Second Grade!" Selari's words opened up everyone's imagination about Super Saiyans.
Seeing this, Talot smiled, "Not anxious now? Not thinking about going to find Frieza right away?"
This was teasing, and Raditz and Selari's cheeks turned red.
"If we relied on you for everything, then we'd be too useless," Raditz said.
"Talot, please guide us to become even stronger. When we have mastered even greater power, we will take care of Frieza," Selari said immediately after.
Seeing them like this, Talot nodded in agreement, not continuing to tease them.
In the coming year, he had a goal, and he had also thought of a cultivation method for them.
The others, not wanting to fall behind, expressed their opinions one after another, their courage commendable.
For the others, even if they couldn't help, they were thinking of working hard to become stronger, perhaps there would be a time when they were needed.
...
In the universe.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Located in the North Galaxy, not far from the Solar System, on a remote star system, on a deep green planet.
Vegeta, after leaving Earth, came to this planet, which didn't have much life, but was lush with vegetation, and began his hellish training.
Being closer to Earth, he would return to wash away his shame once he successfully broke through.
His thinking was simple, and also naive.
But today, all his original expectations were disrupted by the arrival of a message.
Frieza had actually appeared, and had locked onto Earth as his target.
"Arriving on Earth in a year? Damn it! This time, I definitely won't let you continue to make a name for yourselves! A year from now, I, Vegeta, will definitely become a Super Saiyan, and then, Frieza will be taken care of by me!
"I am the Prince of the Saiyans, and the most talented Saiyan!"
Having said that, Vegeta worked even harder.
As for Frieza's orders, he had long forgotten them.
