Frieza: My Battle Power Is 530,000

His Battle Power exceeded 10,000.

Even King Vegeta might not have been able to defeat him.

Indeed, it seemed, perhaps, maybe...

But his enemy was not King Vegeta, much less any other Saiyan.

Talot truly did not know how to describe the feelings in his heart.

Perhaps Bardock really believed that he was powerful enough to turn the tide to some extent.

Reality was just that cruel. The moment Frieza revealed that his Battle Power before transforming was already 530,000, the world learned just how terrifying this Universe Emperor truly was! Talot silently reflected.

To be honest, when he had first watched Dragon Ball in his previous life and learned of such an enormous gap in numbers, he had been too shocked for words.

And that had merely been the beginning of the fear.

At the time, he had thought Frieza's 530,000 Battle Power was already absurdly overpowered. Yet as the Namek Planet arc unfolded, his final Battle Power reached 120 million, completely overturning everything he had believed before.

Before 530,000 Battle Power, what the hell was a Battle Power over 10,000?

Before 120 million Battle Power, what the hell was 530,000?!

Because of Bardock's decisiveness and refusal to entertain objections, Gine and Talot could only accept it. They had no way to refuse.

Talot understood, and Gine also understood that her husband was protecting her. But she still wanted to fight for it, because she wanted to share Bardock's burden. She did not want to watch her husband face a potentially devastating crisis alone.

Bardock's answer was simple and absolutely convincing: if they stayed, they would only become a burden to him.

With their departure set for two days later, the three continued admiring the beautiful scenery beneath the night sky.

Planet Vegeta's nights were exceptionally beautiful, with stars scattered across the sky.

Of course, Saiyans generally did not admire the night scenery, because once they saw a full moon and were illuminated by over 17 million units of Blutz Waves, they would undergo Great Ape Transformation.

Although Planet Vegeta's moon only released Blutz Waves of that level for a few days each year, Saiyans who knew they could not control their Great Ape Transformation would restrain themselves from going out at night.

Of course, some Saiyans could control their Great Ape Transformation.

Bardock, for example, could do it. Talot could as well.

The original story claimed that all Elite Warriors could retain their consciousness after Great Ape Transformation. In truth, many Low-Class Warriors could do so as well; they were simply those with outstanding strength and exceptional talent.

"I hope Raditz and Kakarot's first voyage through space goes smoothly," Gine prayed to the night sky.

It was how she found spiritual comfort. As a mother with little strength, this was all she could do.

"Don't worry! Raditz will definitely return safely. Once the storm has passed, I'll personally go bring Kakarot back," Bardock said, wrapping an arm around Gine's shoulders.

At that moment, Talot seemed to have become an unnecessary third wheel.

Still, Talot did not avoid them. It was not as if they had never acted lovey-dovey in front of him before.

Unless they were doing that, Talot would leave to spare his eyes.

The scene shifted to outer space.

At this moment, the Vegeta Elite Squad had already boarded their Spaceship and left the Small Galaxy where Planet Vegeta was located.

In just half a day, they had already traveled an immense distance away from Planet Vegeta.

That was the travel speed of Spaceships in this era. A few decades later, it would become even more outrageous.

Especially after Spaceships were modified by Bulma and her father, Brief—their speed would become so absurd that words could not describe it.

Inside the Spaceship.

The Saiyans had gathered in the cockpit, each admiring the scenery of the universe.

Three elite Elite Warriors were piloting the Spaceship. Raditz and two other relatively young Elite Warriors sat behind Prince, one on each side.

At Vegeta's side stood another elite Elite Warrior.

It was none other than Vegeta's personal guard, Nappa.

However, unlike the Nappa from the original story, the current Nappa was still young and not bald.

"In one hour, we will begin high-speed warp travel. We should reach Planet Rump in about a month. King Vegeta's orders did not impose any time limit, so Prince can treat this mission as training and recreation. We will escort you and eliminate every threat," Nappa reported to Vegeta.

In the original story, he had seemed dull-witted, simple-minded, and all brawn.

In reality, he was not stupid at all. On the contrary, he was quite clever and knew how to flatter Vegeta.

"Mm." Vegeta gave a simple response and paid it no further attention.

As far as he was concerned, he had no worries about this mission whatsoever.

When he had left Planet Vegeta, his father, King Vegeta, had told him that this was merely a simple training exercise.

It was also because Vegeta's talent and strength were simply too high. His Battle Power had already surpassed 3,000, an extremely high figure even among Elite Warriors.

With this level of strength, even if Lanpu Planet was a high-class planet, what difficulty could there possibly be? So in truth, even without his status as Prince, even at only five years old, Vegeta could still be considered the unquestionable strongest member of the team.

As for anyone in the group with a Battle Power exceeding three or four thousand, there was only the elite Elite Warrior Broccoli, whose Battle Power was 5,000, making him the strongest warrior on this mission.

As for Nappa now, his Battle Power was only on par with Vegeta's current level.

Other than being taller and more muscular, he was inferior to Vegeta in every other respect.

With an hour remaining before Hyperspace Travel began, Raditz and the other two young Elite Warriors watched the sights of the Universe outside with even greater focus.

After all, this was their first time leaving Planet Vegeta for space travel.

As they gazed at the view beyond the transparent protective layer, the Universe was dark. Especially at such speeds, there was not much scenery to see.

But for those experiencing it for the first time, it was still exhilarating.

Encountering something new and seeing a broader world filled them with such anticipation that they lost half of themselves in it.

At this moment, they had no way of realizing that Planet Rump was no ordinary high-class planet.

This invasion would also claim the lives of their companions.

Especially the other two young Elite Warriors, whose Battle Power was only a few hundred.

If the plot remained unchanged, they would die on Planet Rump.

"This feeling is truly strange... The Universe is just like Talot said back then, like a bottomless abyss..."

Raditz could not help but sigh.

His words resonated with the other Saiyans.

Even Vegeta could not help but glance at him.

"A bottomless abyss? That is quite an apt description. Talot? Who is that?" Vegeta asked.

Raditz perked up at once. "In reply to Prince, Talot is an Elite Warrior born in the same year as me. He has always lived next door to my home..."

"I see." Vegeta nodded upon hearing that.

He did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he leaned back in his spaceship seat with an indifferent expression.

Raditz had originally wanted to say a few more good things, but seeing that Vegeta had no interest in listening, he could only give up.
