I, Too, Came from Another Time-Space
"Don't worry, he's fine. He just fainted. Since he challenged me, he has to pay a price. Otherwise, wouldn't I be too easy to bully?"
Hearing Android 18 exclaim in surprise, wanting to approach but not daring to, Talot laughed.
Immediately afterwards, scrutinizing gazes continued to look at her, and her pale face only made her more attractive.
Of course, Talot didn't look at it for long. He quickly followed the gaze and saw Krillin standing there in the distance, stunned and not daring to make the slightest move.
He couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
Although it's from this timeline, Krillin from both timelines is not much different.
However, in terms of strength, Krillin from his timeline was far more powerful than Krillin from this Android Saga.
When he left, Krillin not only improved his skills due to the Martial Arts Tournament, with his combat power soaring to 70 million points, but he also mastered the Kaio-ken, which allowed him to break through to 200 million points.
Now, it's unknown how much time has passed in his world. If nothing unexpected happens, the point at which Bardock returns should be at most a year after he left.
Talot considered it for a moment and quickly stopped worrying about it.
At this time, Talot would not know that Bardock would return a full ten years after he left.
And when he returns to his own timeline, it will only take even longer...
Staring at Talot, Android 18 still dared not make a move. She wanted to get closer, but her inner unease made her back down.
This man is so powerful that she has no chance against him. Android 17 was killed with a single finger. If she makes any rash moves that anger him, she might also be knocked unconscious with a single finger.
Originally, she had approached this person with a nonchalant attitude, but now she dared not act that way anymore. She was even glad that this person hadn't attacked her, because she hadn't held back at all.
A bitter feeling welled up in her heart. For her, this time she had finally escaped and was no longer under Dr. Gero's control. They were about to start a new life.
But now things have developed to this point; their supposedly powerful strength is nothing but their own arrogance.
"Take your brother and leave this place."
Seeing that Android 18 remained motionless, Talot roughly guessed that she was afraid, so he gave her a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Android 18 looked bewildered and confused. "How do you know Android 17 is my brother? And why aren't you killing us?"
"How I know this is not important. As for why I didn't kill you, it's because I didn't consider you enemies," Talot said.
"But shouldn't we be enemies? We even attacked you..." Android 18 asked, puzzled.
Hearing this, Talot shook his head speechlessly. "You're overthinking it. I've never been the one who considers you enemies, and you haven't considered these people enemies either. If you were carrying murderous intent, you would have killed these guys from the very beginning."
The blunt words left Android 18 speechless, unsure how to respond, while the injured soldiers were completely dumbfounded.
They thought that since this person had already killed Android 17 instantly, these Androids were doomed.
However, they were greatly disappointed.
"Although I don't know who you are, I hope you can listen to me, because I am from twenty years in the future. I can tell you clearly that if you let these Androids go, then the future world will be destroyed by them." Future Trunks, enduring the pain, stepped forward and shouted.
These words silenced Vegeta, Piccolo, and Tien Shinhan.
The thought that Future Trunks was too naive immediately arose in their minds. How could he say such a thing directly in front of the enemy? Most importantly, they had no idea whether this person was friend or foe.
"I know you come from another time and space; there's an aura of that time and space surrounding you." Without explicitly stating that he knew the original plot, Talot revealed in another way that he knew Trunks' identity.
These words surprised everyone again, and they found Talot's words unbelievable.
Is the aura of time and space lingering? How come they can't sense it?
Even the Future Trunks was a bit confused, standing there dumbfounded, looking adorably silly.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. Actually, in my timeline, you and I are all friends and comrades. You can call me Talot. Vegeta, you've probably already figured it out, right? I'm Saiyan too! It's just that my version in this timeline perished along with Planet Vegeta... Actually, I shouldn't have come to this timeline. I encountered a massive Time Storm on my way back, and had no choice but to descend into this timeline..." Talot revealed his identity to avoid trouble later.
"What? You're from the future too? No! Impossible. Since you from the past are dead, how could you exist? How could you still be in the future?" Future Trunks couldn't accept it. He was very smart, but he was confined by his own worldview.
"Your understanding of time and space seems incomplete. Let me guess, do you think that time travel means traveling to the past and the future?" Talot said.
"Isn't that right?" Future Trunks asked in return.
Talot shook his head and began the teaching mode.
"Of course not! What you've arrived in is simply another Parallel Spacetime, only this universe is currently in the past of your universe..."
"To put it more strictly, the past of your timeline has already happened and cannot be changed! You have come to the present of the past, which is this timeline. It seems like you have returned to the past, but it has nothing to do with your Future Timeline."
"I suppose you've already noticed some changes in this spacetime caused by your existence."
Having said that, Talot waved his hand.
Instantly, a massive Time-Space Power erupted, tearing the void apart with Talot's power.
This scene shocked everyone.
The Future Trunks was dumbfounded and gasped.
"I'll take you to the Time-Space Tunnel, and then you'll know." With that, Talot's lips twitched slightly as he teleported to Future Trunks's side and took him into the newly opened Time-Space Tunnel.
"This... this..." Future Trunks was unable to describe his emotions at this moment.
This outrageous experience, this unimaginable supernatural power, completely overturned his past worldview.
Everyone stared in stunned silence until Talot brought him back to where he was, not daring to utter a word.
Even Vegeta wisely kept quiet at this moment.
He now realized that the Saiyan named Talot was far more powerful than he had ever imagined.
"So, everything I've done has been in vain. Even if I change the future of this timeline and prevent it from being destroyed by the Androids, there will still be countless Parallel Spacetime that will continue to develop along their original paths..." Future Trunks was so distressed that he could hardly breathe.
Seeing this, Talot smiled faintly, "You're overthinking it. Whether you come or not, the development of each timeline is different! Perhaps because of your arrival, this timeline will become better, or perhaps it won't. It all depends on how you view these changes."
Upon hearing these words, Future Trunks took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly brightening. "I understand, thank you for your guidance... However, even so, we shouldn't let them go, after all..."
Before he could finish speaking, Talot shook his head slightly. "Don't be too rigid. Like I said, maybe they were villains in your timeline, but they aren't in this timeline. At least, you were the ones who provoked them in the first place, weren't you? They were willing to let you go, but someone still insisted on saving face."
"Tch!!" Vegeta spat upon hearing Talot's words.
This made everyone look at him with a sense of helplessness.
Indeed, as Talot said, things wouldn't have gotten to this point if it weren't for Vegeta.
Behind Talot, Android 18 asked Android 16 to help lift Android 17, feeling grateful to Talot.
With so much information, it was difficult for her to process it quickly, but she roughly knew what was going on.
That boy and this person both came from other Parallel Spacetime. It seems that the boy's Future Timeline was destroyed because of their relationship, so he specially crossed time and space to eliminate them.
Talot, on the other hand, comes from a higher-level Parallel Spacetime because he is powerful enough and knows more.
Trunks fell silent, finding himself once again trapped in a dead end from which he could not extricate himself.
Talot knew that the only way to completely rid him of this was to let him experience it, or rather, to help him destroy the Androids in his timeline.
Of course, as the original plot unfolds, everything will fall into place once he becomes powerful enough.
All fear and dread stem from one's own lack of strength.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Without saying anything more to Trunks, Talot looked at numbers Android 18 and Android 16 behind him.
It would be better for them to leave here as soon as possible. Although his presence has eased the situation considerably, conflicts may still arise due to disagreements.
As for where they would go after they left, or what they would do, Talot didn't care.
Even if they are Androids, their existence will draw out the future Cell.
Ultimately, Talot was quite interested, but now that he was here, things were different.
In his view, Cell didn't need to become the Perfect form.
"Thank you." Android 18 sincerely thanked them, then nodded to Android 16.
The two left with Android 17, who was still unconscious.
Because Talot was there, everyone here could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
When the Androids were no longer in sight, Piccolo approached and asked, "I don't know why, but I always felt that you intentionally let them go."
It has to be said that Piccolo's IQ is really high.
Talot and replied, "Indeed! But I don't have much of an intention. I just want to make some slight changes to things in your timeline since I've come here."
Piccolo nodded; he was clearly no longer the Piccolo of the past.
He is much more mature than Piccolo in Talot's timeline.
After all, the timeline of his timeline is actually ten years prior to the Android Saga.
"Eat some Senzu Bean to recover first. After all, there are still things I need to tell you and involve you in." Talot waved his hand, took out Senzu Bean from his personal space, and gave them to everyone.
Actually, there's no need to waste them, because Krillin has already jogged over, and he has Senzu Bean on him.
However, these few Senzu Bean are just a drop in the ocean for Talot.
The others were only slightly surprised that Talot possessed Senzu Bean, but they quickly accepted it.
After all, this person's strength was so great that it was beyond their imagination, so it wasn't surprising that he had Senzu Bean.
Now, they are more concerned about what Talot will do next, and they must involve them as well.
After the group had eaten the Senzu Bean and fully recovered from their injuries, Talot revealed the secrets he knew.
While explaining, he naturally led everyone back into the ruins of Dr. Gero's Laboratory, and then to the secret laboratory hidden underground.
What was initially thought to be just a threat from Android 17 and Android 18 has now escalated to a new level, leaving everyone astonished.
Especially Future Trunks, he suddenly felt that this change was due to him.
Talot did not refute it, after all, it was indeed his arrival that caused these changes in this spacetime.
Of course, Cell, who came to this timeline, did not come from the Future Trunks' timeline, so it can be said that it was not his fault.
Talot also indirectly told Future Trunks that Cell should also exist in his future.
Therefore, the future crisis will not only involve Android 17 and Android 18.
Having learned everything and understood the whole truth, everyone suddenly realized the truth.
This sudden clarity resolved everyone's doubts and lifted their spirits.
"So, you let those two Androids go in order to lure out Cell?" Piccolo asked again.
Now everyone is afraid to ask questions, except for Piccolo, who dares to initiate conversations.
Of course, Trunks is an exception; he and Talot were discussing something else entirely.
Talot shook his head again. "With my strength, it would be easy to annihilate any being of your era. Even if Cell absorbed Android 17 and Android 18 and evolved into his perfect form, he would still be no match for me."
He didn't say anything too outrageous, and Talot didn't have a habit of showing off.
His words only deepened everyone's confusion.
"So you want Cell to devour Android 17 and Android 18 to complete his evolution, and then finish them off all at once?" Vegeta couldn't help but interject at this moment.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately tensed up.
After all, they are all very cautious people, and in their view, letting the enemy grow is the most foolish thing to do.
