As if in the blink of an eye, a year had quietly passed.
From the moment he learned that Frieza was heading towards Earth, Talot immediately took Raditz and Selari to begin more advanced training.
As for Nappa, Son Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, he let them slowly walk the path they had once walked.
During this year, Earth was in a period of peace.
This was inevitable, because according to the plot of Dragon Ball's first part, the cosmic level had not yet been opened. So, even if some unexpected things happened on Earth, they wouldn't affect the peace or cause any major incidents.
In other words, Earth's technology was developing, the times were progressing, and everything was moving in a good direction.
It's worth mentioning that Piccolo Jr. was developing similarly to the original plot. He was first picked up by a farming couple, but after being born from the egg, he scared them and was abandoned. Later, he wandered around Earth, seeking ways to become stronger and find an opportunity for revenge.
The Namekian's growth rate was completely different from that of Earthlings, so Piccolo had grown a lot in just one year.
His desire for revenge was even stronger than in the original story, and his target was naturally Master Roshi, because Master Roshi had killed his 'father,' who could also be said to be his former self.
In short, although the plot had undergone significant changes, the main storyline had not deviated.
Speaking of which, Talot and his companions had undergone considerable changes this year.
First, in terms of strength, Talot finally increased his normal state Battle Power to 55 million points this year.
This was the goal he had set for himself a year ago, and he had exceeded it.
Fortunately, he had unlocked the Supreme Kai Planet map and could go to Grand Kai Planet at any time to compete with the experts in the Netherworld.
In particular, his duels with Paikuhan always benefited him greatly.
Now, his Super Saiyan Second Grade had been cultivated to the extreme, and he had vaguely touched the existence of Super Saiyan 3, but he had not yet truly tried to break through.
As for Super Saiyan 4, Talot had reached an even higher realm to some extent.
Because his control over the Great Ape Power was more perfect, his own power was no longer limited to basic multiple increases.
For Talot, the increase in strength made him happy, and the reason why he could improve so much in one year with the known training methods was also due to Selari.
A few months ago, Selari suddenly felt abdominal pain during training. After examination, she learned that she was more than two months pregnant.
When Talot first heard the news, he was both surprised and delighted.
Having lived two lives, he didn't expect to become a father so soon.
Because of the pregnancy, Talot protected Selari and forced her to stop training, focusing on resting at home until she gave birth and fully recovered, before allowing her to continue training and become stronger.
Then, Gine and Bulma became Selari's nannies, constantly supervising her and keeping an eye on her.
Selari was too careless, so she needed others to remind her.
In fact, she herself had wanted a child for a long time, but she had never conceived. Now that she was pregnant, she felt that the timing wasn't right.
Because it meant she had to retreat from the front line to the background, unable to help with anything.
It was only after Talot persuaded her for a long time, and as her belly grew bigger day by day, that Selari no longer had this idea.
By the way, because Selari was pregnant, Talot, under Bulma's forceful request, held a wedding with them.
Although it was rushed, Talot could only accept it. Fortunately, Bulma had been planning it all along, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.
Now, taking this opportunity to fulfill her wish, even though she was marrying Talot together with Selari, there was no marital restriction of one husband and one wife on Earth in this world.
For Bulma, she was becoming more and more envious and jealous, especially of Selari's bulging belly. Every time she saw her, she would fantasize: Could it be because Saiyans and Earthlings are different races?
Unwilling to be outdone, Bulma could only stare blankly.
It wasn't just Bulma who was affected and envious, but also Blonde Launch. After learning that Selari was pregnant, she directly approached Raditz, but unfortunately, until today, there was still no movement.
Speaking of Raditz, after Selari became pregnant and retreated to the rear, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to training.
In just one year, Raditz made great progress, and his Battle Power soared to 25 million points!
Although he was still not as good as Talot a year ago, this strength was already very powerful.
Raditz had also achieved the Super Saiyan Second Grade transformation and could skillfully control the increase in power.
In the simplest terms, Raditz's current Battle Power can explode to over 3 billion!
This is still without using the Kaio-ken to instantly burst out Battle Power.
Earth.
Having finished their long training, Talot and Raditz returned from the Supreme Kai Planet, and have been taking it easy these past few days.
Taking this opportunity, the two also witnessed Son Goku's growth.
This kid truly lives up to his status as the protagonist of the original story. After a year of training, his Battle Power has directly increased tenfold, reaching 80,000.
This is the growth of strength, but the biggest change is that his body has grown. At 17 years old, he is already like he was when he participated in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament in the original story.
What about Nappa? As a warrior from a fallen prestigious family, although he is relatively dull, he is, after all, an Elite Warrior among the Saiyans, and has basic potential. It's just that he didn't know how to tap into it at first.
Under the training arranged by Talot, he also relied on his own efforts to break through the 150,000 Battle Power mark! Unfortunately, even with Talot's guidance, Nappa only touched the threshold of transforming into a Super Saiyan. He is still far from truly transforming successfully.
I don't know if he will ever succeed in the future. At least for now, one year of training is far from enough.
Besides Son Goku and Nappa.
The remaining ones are naturally Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, whose strengths have all improved by leaps and bounds.
Krillin's Battle Power has broken through to 6,000.
Yamcha's Battle Power has broken through to 5,000.
Tien Shinhan, perhaps because the bloodline of the Three-Eyed People within him has been developed, his Battle Power has approached 10,000, also demonstrating the talent he originally had in the original story.
Indeed, the gap between him and Son Goku is still very large, but his original starting point was low.
And Chiaotzu, although his Battle Power has only reached 3,000, it can be said to be extraordinary.
Now, they have gone to the North Kai Planet to train. This is the path that Talot has arranged for them step by step, and it is also to allow them to complete the path they were supposed to take in the original story in advance.
...
West City.
Next to the manor pool in the Capsule Corp private residential area.
Talot is accompanying Selari and Bulma.
Since returning these past few days, he has been taking care of Selari.
She is already seven months pregnant, and in another three months, the child will be born.
Originally, it should be a time of joy, but in these days, Frieza's aura is getting closer and closer, which also makes everyone's mood depressed.
After all, no one knows what Frieza's strength is and how the outcome will develop.
Even if Talot has 100% confidence, he cannot guarantee that he will definitely be invincible.
Whoosh! A burst of air-piercing sound came.
As several figures appeared in front of him, Talot smiled slightly and said to Raditz, "Aunt Gine, Grandpa Son Gohan, and Launch have all been sent to the North Kai Planet?"
Raditz nodded upon hearing this and said, "Yes, Frieza is almost here, and we should take care of our worries first."
"That's right, Bulma, go and call your father and mother over. I'll send you to the North Kai Planet first. There, you can also see the battle situation on Earth through King Kai." Talot said.
This was agreed upon long ago.
Bulma agreed upon hearing this and quickly went to call Brief and his wife.
Selari wanted to stay, but Talot would not let her take risks, especially since she had their child in her belly.
...
An hour later.
In space.
After a year of sailing, Frieza's Spaceship crossed billions of stars and finally arrived at Earth in the Solar System.
In the central control room.
Frieza was standing in front of the huge transparent protective glass, gazing at the front.
Earth was close at hand, making him excited, but he remained very calm.
"Is this Earth? It's quite small, but the fireworks after the explosion shouldn't be too bad." Frieza sneered, the terrifying pressure he released unconsciously even affecting the space around him.
Zarbon, who was beside him, and Dodoria, who had been recalled to Earth, were overwhelmed by this terrifying aura, sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Frieza quickly withdrew his pressure, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zarbon, give the order. Have all combat personnel prepare. On this planet, leave no one alive except for those Saiyan monkeys!" Frieza's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he ordered in a deep voice.
"As you command." Zarbon didn't dare to delay for a moment, hurriedly leaving the command center to relay Frieza's orders to everyone.
"Dodoria, open the top hatch." Frieza turned to Dodoria and instructed.
"Yes, Lord Frieza." Dodoria received the order and quickly cleared the way, reaching the top hatch and pressing the control button to open it.
Frieza propelled his floating stroller forward, then slowly emerged from the top hatch and into space outside the spaceship.
"Let's give Earth a little show first, and also tell those Saiyan monkeys that I, the king, have arrived."
Frieza grinned sinisterly, raising the index finger of his right hand, and a tiny, rice-grain-sized, fiery red energy ball appeared.
Then, Frieza flicked his finger, and the rice-grain-sized energy ball shot out, landing on Earth's atmosphere.
*'BOOM~~!!!!!!!'*
A violent fiery explosion erupted in Earth's atmosphere.
The explosion of powerful energy tore a huge gap in Earth's atmosphere.
Seeing this, Frieza chuckled, his eyes full of mockery, and he controlled his floating stroller back into the spaceship.
The Frieza Force soldiers had thought that Frieza was going to destroy the planet directly, but instead of seeing planetary destruction, they saw Frieza toying with Earth in such a way, which made their hearts even colder.
"Let's go, enter Earth!"
Thus, at Frieza's command, the spaceship went straight in.
...
The far north.
The cold wind howled, and snow filled the sky.
Talot led Raditz, Nappa, Son Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, all waiting here.
"After all these years, Frieza, you still like to play these meaningless tricks." Talot first sighed at the explosion, then, seeing the spaceship heading straight in, couldn't help but reveal a sneer.
"It seems Frieza hasn't transformed yet. If his aura is only at this level, hmph hmph...!!" A proud smile appeared on Raditz's face, his aura constantly rising.
He had waited too long for this moment, and he had prepared far too much for it.
Whether it was strength or transformation, he was much stronger than he had been a year ago. He only hoped that Frieza's strength wouldn't disappoint him.
"Although you say it's only at this level, Big Brother, it's still terrifying to us. Frieza's ki is filled with an evil feeling..." Son Goku couldn't help but gasp. Frieza's power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
An unprecedented feeling surged into his heart. Recalling Vegeta, whom he had fought a year ago, and comparing him to the current Frieza, they were not on the same level at all. There was no comparison.
This was the terrifying feeling that a Battle Power far exceeding a hundred million could bring.
"I can clearly feel Frieza's ki now, even more directly than before." Dense beads of sweat appeared on Nappa's bald head, and it was inevitable that he felt fear.
Because he didn't have enough strength to fight.
Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, who were beside him, were already breathing rapidly, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
In fact, with their strength, they shouldn't have come here to watch the battle at all, but Talot's words had stimulated them, and they had bravely stood here.
If they didn't even have the courage to watch, then how could they talk about becoming stronger?! That was Talot's original words.
"Talot, we've agreed in advance. I'll deal with Frieza. You can't steal him." Raditz said proactively.
"Don't worry, I'll only take action if you're losing." Talot laughed.
Raditz was full of confidence. "You won't have a chance to take action. I will definitely kill Frieza with my own hands!"
"I hope so." Talot nodded.
If Raditz could really kill Frieza, that would be a good thing for him.
He was just afraid that after Frieza transformed, his strength would exceed his previous guesses, and that he might have even developed his Golden Form.
If that were the case, Raditz would absolutely not be able to defeat him.
In short, letting Raditz go to test the waters, no matter the outcome, he could handle it.
The group watched with solemn expressions as the Spaceship landed on the ice field...
