Kami's Lookout.
Bulma, Dende, and Popo had been waiting for nearly half an hour.
Just then, a ripple of Space Power appeared on the platform of Kami's Lookout.
Talot arrived at Kami's Lookout with Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18.
Upon reaching Kami's Lookout, the three Androids first looked around seriously.
They didn't know that Earth had such a place.
And according to Talot, this was the Kami's temple.
Bulma, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly approached Talot upon his return.
Seeing Android 16 and Android 17, Bulma didn't feel any hostility. She even sighed, saying that Dr. Gero was truly a genius. But when she saw Android 18, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Bulma was smart and didn't ask. Talot explained the whole story.
After learning the ins and outs, Bulma's expression relaxed slightly, but a surge of anger rose in her heart.
She didn't expect Dr. Gero to be so inhumane, installing those super bombs to control them.
Now that the Dragon Balls were gathered, they could use the wish to remove the bombs to test the new Dragon Ball's abilities.
The seven Dragon Balls were arranged neatly in the center of Kami's Lookout.
"Arise, Shenron, and grant my wish!" As Dende chanted the incantation, the seven Dragon Balls resonated.
In an instant, the world changed, and darkness swept across the globe.
A golden pillar of light burst from the seven Dragon Balls, eventually forming the Earth Shenron's form.
"This is... Shenron?!" Android 18 saw Shenron for the first time and was startled by the sudden arrival of the Dragon Aura.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it was real.
"You who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state your wish. I can grant two wishes, no matter what they are." Shenron said his classic line as soon as he appeared.
However, instead of one wish, it was two.
"Two wishes? It seems that after you upgraded Shenron, the number of wishes that can be granted has increased by one. That's amazing, Dende." Bulma clapped her hands, finally understanding what Dende's upgrade meant.
"My current abilities are still limited. I can only expand the wishes to two. If I want to grant three wishes like Porunga, I can only upgrade after my power is deeper." Dende was a little shy from the praise.
"You're already amazing." Bulma affectionately stroked Dende, continuing to praise him.
"Alright, now we can make a wish. I promised you before, Android 18, you make the wish." Talot turned his gaze to Android 18, who was shocked by Shenron, and said.
Hearing this, Android 18 came back to her senses, sorted out her thoughts, and exchanged glances with Android 16 and Android 17 before stating her wish.
The wish was simple: to remove the bombs in the three of their bodies.
For such a simple wish, Shenron simply said it was easy.
'Buzz~!' As a bloody light flashed in Shenron's eyes.
Nothing seemed to have happened, but the super bombs in the three of their bodies had indeed been removed.
"Your first wish has been granted. Please state your second wish." Shenron urged.
"What else do you want for the next second wish? Bulma." Talot turned to look at Bulma and asked.
Having reached his level of power, ordinary things were difficult to arouse his interest. Even if he had ideas, they probably couldn't be realized with the Earth Shenron's ability limit.
So instead of wasting a wish, he might as well give it to Bulma and let her think about it.
"But I don't have any wishes I want to fulfill right now..." As the world's number one richest woman, Bulma could get anything she wanted except for longevity and eternal youth.
Before this, she had already made a wish through Namek's Shenron, Porunga.
Bulma fell into deep thought, and then a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she thought of Son Goku, who was still suffering from Viral Heart Disease on Mount Paozu.
"What do you think about making the second wish to restore Goku's Viral Heart Disease?" Bulma suggested.
"That's indeed a good wish, but it would be a bit of a waste. Kakarot already has the Special Medicine brought from the future timeline, and he will be completely cured in the next day or two. Moreover, after this wish is made, the Dragon Balls need a year to cool down. If this second wish is not made, the Dragon Balls' cooling time can be shortened to half a year. What do you think?" Talot said.
Hearing this, Bulma thought for a moment and realized that Talot was right.
Son Goku's recovery would only take a few days, but the Dragon Balls' cooldown was much longer. If they didn't use this second wish, the cooldown would still be half a year, which could prevent unforeseen circumstances and be prepared for anything.
"Since that's the case, we won't make this second wish. You can leave now, Shenron."
As soon as the words fell, Shenron heard them.
"Since you no longer have any wishes to be granted, farewell."
Shenron's massive body dissipated, and the seven Dragon Balls soared into the sky.
Seeing that they were about to scatter across Earth, Talot used his Space Power to lock onto the seven Dragon Balls that were about to disperse. After completely neutralizing all the impact force, he pulled the seven petrified Dragon Balls closer.
The sky, shrouded in darkness, returned to its previous clear and bright state.
"From now on, let's seal these Dragon Balls in Kami's Lookout. Don't use them casually unless absolutely necessary," Talot said to everyone present.
There was another layer of meaning in these words.
Dragon Balls are both beneficial and harmful. Once they are used too many times, the next one to appear will not be Shenron, who can grant wishes, but the Evil Dragons that will drag everything into destruction!
Although with his strength, he wouldn't be afraid of the Evil Dragons at all, he was not a person from this timeline after all, and there would be a time when he would have to leave.
In the end, this world would still have to be protected by them.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
God Servant Popo quickly picked up the seven Dragon Balls that had turned to stone. He would seal these Dragon Balls in the deepest part of Kami's Lookout, and take them out when needed.
Just then, below Kami's Lookout, two white energy signatures were heading towards Kami's Lookout. These two people were none other than Vegeta and Future Trunks.
The energy detectors in Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18 also detected two powerful energy fluctuations.
After sensing their energy, Talot turned around and said, "They're pretty quick. I thought I'd have to wait a little longer."
The moment he spoke, Vegeta and Future Trunks landed on Kami's Lookout.
"Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18?!"
"Androids?!"
Having just arrived, Future Trunks and Vegeta were surprised to see the three Androids at Kami's Lookout, and they were also very confused.
What were these Androids doing here? "Vegeta, and Future Trunks? No wonder the readings are so similar," Android 17 said casually with his arms crossed.
"Perfect, we can clear up things about the future world," Android 18 added, and walked towards Future Trunks.
When they came here earlier, after learning the truth, they had this idea, which was why they came here with Talot.
Seeing Android 18 approaching, Future Trunks seemed to be stimulated. His instinctive reaction made him subconsciously transform into a Super Saiyan and adopt a fighting stance.
Although his energy had increased somewhat compared to the last time they met, this insignificant increase was not enough for Android 18 to feel threatened.
Vegeta frowned, but did not unleash his energy. He could sense that Android 18 was not here to cause trouble.
"Relax, Trunks," Vegeta reminded him.
Hearing this, Future Trunks' tense nerves relaxed slightly, but he still remained in his Super Saiyan state just in case.
At this moment, Android 18 came in front of Future Trunks, completely ignoring Vegeta who was beside him.
"Don't panic. Even if you transform, you wouldn't last a few moves if I really wanted to attack you. Besides, Talot is here, so even if I wanted to kill you, I couldn't." After explaining, Android 18 directly stated her purpose.
She wanted to understand what they were like in the future world, whether they really became ruthless demons.
After calming down, Future Trunks exchanged a glance with Talot, and after receiving confirmation, he began to answer Android 18's questions.
He told her about the disasters that happened in the future world from beginning to end.
After learning that his future self and Android 17 had brought a catastrophic disaster to Earth, almost wiping out the Earthlings, and had also annihilated all the Z Fighters, Android 18 was truly incredulous.
She and Android 17 were not inherently evil, so why did it end up like this? Something must have happened, or rather, Dr. Gero, that old man, must have installed something in her and Android 17's minds, greatly distorting their original personalities.
"I see, I understand now." After learning the truth, Android 18 turned around and returned to Android 17 and Android 16's side.
Future Trunks just stared at Android 18's back, his mood becoming more and more conflicted.
The Androids in this world were too different from those in the future world.
At least it was certain that the Androids in this world were not bad, while Android 18 and Android 17 in the future world were not even worth communicating with. They would basically launch an energy wave upon meeting, belonging to the type that killed without batting an eye.
Watching the Android trio engage in their internal communication, Future Trunks turned to Talot again.
The immediate priority was to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta to train, obtain power Beyond Super Saiyan, and then return to the future to save his world.
"My dad and I have already decided to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. Uncle Talot, please teach us how to go further," Future Trunks said.
"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber? You actually know about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Popo, who had just returned from delivering the Dragon Balls, exclaimed in surprise.
"I told them. Let them go in and train. If they become stronger, Earth in this timeline will be safer," Talot said to Popo.
Hearing this, Popo understood very well and didn't ask any further questions.
"So, can you tell me now how to go Beyond Super Saiyan?" Vegeta asked with a cold expression.
Despite feeling like he deserved a beating, Talot didn't mind.
Vegeta in this era was just like that.
It wasn't until the future that Vegeta would slowly change.
In fact, Talot liked that future Time Patroller Vegeta the most.
Mature, steady, and responsible.
"As I said before, I will teach you the method, but how much you can comprehend depends on your understanding." After saying that, Talot told Bulma to stay as far away as possible with Dende, and then walked to an open space.
In an instant, he activated the Super Saiyan Energy Pool within his body. Golden energy swept from the soles of his feet to his entire body. His black hair turned golden and stood upright. His aura was restrained within him, making him exceptionally powerful.
This was Talot's Super Saiyan First Stage. The transformation only took a moment, and it didn't consume any energy at all. This was a result of Talot controlling his power to the extreme.
"Is this Uncle Talot's Super Saiyan First Stage... It's simply unfathomable..." Future Trunks was shocked by the terrifying aura released by Talot's transformation.
Although Talot had tried his best to suppress his aura after transforming, he still released a portion of it. Just this small portion of the aura was enough to make Future Trunks and Vegeta doubt their lives.
The intensity of the energy alone was beyond imagination.
Vegeta seemed calm, but in reality, a storm had already erupted in his heart.
With his eyesight, it wasn't difficult to see the difference between Talot's Super Saiyan and theirs.
"This is the ordinary Super Saiyan, which is also the realm you have reached now. Next, I will transform into the advanced version of the first stage, also known as Super Saiyan First Stage Second Phase." After Talot finished speaking, the energy around him pulsed, and his muscles expanded, making him look stronger.
This change made Vegeta and Future Trunks pay close attention.
"This is... Super Saiyan First Stage Second Phase? The realm that my dad and I will reach next." Future Trunks looked at Talot, who had undergone a great change in form, and fell into deep thought.
He didn't know why, but he felt something was strange.
"Hmph! Isn't this just a pure power enhancement form? If I'm not mistaken, this form should be able to evolve further and greatly increase power, but it will sacrifice speed." Vegeta's keen insight allowed him to see the key to Super Saiyan First Stage Second Phase at a glance: enhancing one's own power without affecting speed.
"It seems I underestimated you. You're right, there is indeed another transformation above this form, called Super Saiyan First Stage Third Phase, but although that transformation can greatly increase energy, it will also affect one's own speed, so I define it as a failed transformation. Since Vegeta has already guessed it, I don't need to demonstrate it. Next... is the strongest state of Super Saiyan First Stage, which I call Full Power!" After Talot finished speaking, the originally expanded muscles contracted, and the flow of energy became more intense.
In the blink of an eye, he completed the transformation to Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power. His control over his power reached perfection, and he could release and retract it at will.
Future Trunks was a little confused when he saw this scene, but Vegeta was different. His sharp eyes had already discovered the difference between Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power and ordinary Super Saiyan.
Both speed and power have been greatly improved!!
This was a comprehensive sublimation, and it was the true power of Super Saiyan!
Damn it! Do I still have such a long way to go? There are four stages just for Super Saiyan First Stage!
