After hiding the spaceship, they also activated its sturdy defensive functions.

As long as it wasn't struck by an overwhelmingly powerful external force, the spaceship definitely wouldn't be easily damaged.

Speaking of which, Talot had complained more than once: extraterrestrial technology was so advanced, and the Frieza Force was so damn powerful, yet they couldn't even create a single space capsule.

After all, even on Earth at this time, Capsule Corp capsules had already begun to gradually spread.

Ten years later, they would be used across every industry.

"Let's go! All functions have been activated. If any abnormally powerful energy fluctuations appear within a ten-kilometer radius, we'll receive the alert immediately."

Walking at the front, Talot spoke to Gine and Selari.

Now that they had left Planet Vegeta and arrived on this planet, enjoying absolute freedom, they had to take the initiative to explore no matter how dangerous this planet was.

If they still held themselves back and acted timidly now, then all their preparations over the years would have been for nothing.

"Should I stay behind instead? There's only one spaceship. If it gets damaged, we'll be trapped on this planet for good." Overly worried, Gine spoke up again.

Her concern wasn't unnecessary. It was also what Talot worried about most.

But she was indeed being a little too tense right now.

The main reason was that Aoyun Planet's danger level had far exceeded their expectations.

"It's fine. This time, we're only scouting nearby! We won't go beyond a thousand kilometers. If we explore farther next time, I'll use my cloning ability. That way, a clone can stay here and protect the spaceship," Talot said.

The cloning ability was the only solution Talot could think of.

There was no need to use it now. They were only taking a quick look around, and at such a short distance, even if something abnormal happened near the spaceship, they could rush back immediately.

As for the cloning ability, it was actually similar to the Four Body Fist.

No! That wasn't right!

It was more like Piccolo's Demonic Clone from later on.

With Talot's current strength, combined with his proficiency in this move, creating a clone required him to split off at least one-third of his power.

Of course, he could split off less, but if he gave it too little, the clone's Battle Power wouldn't be comparable to his own at full strength.

As for how long the clone could exist, as long as it didn't fight at full power, it could be maintained for a very long time.

Why not use Saibaman seeds?

It wasn't that Talot didn't want to. Bardock had warned him that although those things obeyed the planter's commands, they were savage by nature. Without sufficient strength to suppress them, Saibamen could turn on their master.

Therefore, not every Saiyan used Saibamen. Only those with Battle Power above two or three thousand could use them without restraint.

Of course, Talot didn't think he would lose to a Saibaman. But just as Bardock had said, if he still needed to fight one to force it into obeying him, then once he left, the Saibaman could even run away.

Moreover, it would be an absolute threat to Selari and Gine.

But being unable to use or control them now didn't mean he never could.

At the very least, having them in hand was a source of power. Their Battle Power could reach 1200, after all.

"That's amazing! Brother Talot, you can make clones too? I want to learn!" Selari was drawn in by Talot's cloning ability. Eager to learn, she possessed an intense curiosity toward anything new.

"I'll teach you when there's time later. For now, you need to keep getting better at Ki Cultivation. Once your Battle Power exceeds 500, I'll teach you more techniques," Talot said with a smile.

Hearing that, Selari immediately agreed.

She hadn't even considered when she would be able to break through to 500 Battle Power.

In fact, she was already on the verge of a breakthrough. Her current Battle Power had reached 290.

As long as her control over Ki improved another step, she would definitely surpass 300 Battle Power.

Raising her Battle Power by 50 points in a month and a half might seem low, but it was actually quite impressive! Selari was only five years old, and she had learned Ki Cultivation solely through Talot's verbal guidance. Now that she was in this vast world, increasing her Battle Power would become even easier.

What about Gine? Her strength had improved even more. She now possessed 700 Battle Power.

She was no less impressive than Talot.

Of course, Talot's progress was more difficult. His level of strength was higher, so advancing further was naturally harder.

Free of all concerns, the three of them used the Saiyans' Flight Technique to soar through the sky.

For all three of them, this feeling of roaming freely between heaven and earth brought the greatest release to their spirits.

The negative emotions built up during their two months of space travel were finally completely dispelled at this moment.

They sped onward without restraint, without needing to worry about anything else!

Talot even found himself entertaining a thought: with their strength, even if they never left this planet for the rest of their lives, they could still become its absolute rulers.

"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, look! There are so many giant beasts over there!" Selari spotted something while flying and shouted.

Talot and Gine looked in the direction Selari was pointing, and an incomparably spectacular sight immediately entered their view.

In the distance, countless giant beasts were engaged in a bloody battle for some unknown reason.

Those giant beasts were all enormous, with even the smallest measuring several meters long.

"Are they fighting over territory? Or are they trying to take something?" Gine asked curiously.

The scene was indeed bloody, but as a Saiyan who had invaded other planets, Gine was only mildly shocked.

Even though she had never taken part in it herself, she had seen far more brutal scenes.

The strong preyed on the weak; natural selection ruled. This was the law of survival, applicable anywhere life existed.

Talot could not help but sigh inwardly as he watched Gine remain completely unaffected, even looking rather interested.

Then he looked at Selari, who was hiding behind him, timid and panicked.

The contrast between them was simply too great.

So, even Gine was not truly a good person, in a sense.

To put it simply, there was no such thing as good or evil in this world.

It only depended on whether someone was good or bad from your perspective.

For example, in Talot's eyes, Gine was family, so he considered her good.

But to those who had been invaded and harmed, she was unquestionably evil.

Saiyans were cruel, bloodthirsty, and slaughtered innocents.

That was why Son Goku's answer when facing Frieza had been so thought-provoking, making everyone understand: the Saiyans had gone extinct precisely because they slaughtered innocents.

This world was just that cruel.

PS: A clarification about the Flight Technique skill—it was actually the Levitation Technique! After all, the Levitation Technique could not be used to represent everything.
