Son Goku Stunned, Vegeta Takes the Initiative to Challenge!
Upon arriving outside, Talot and Bulma encountered Son Goku and Son Gohan.
"Yo~! Bulma." As soon as he arrived, Son Goku struck his signature greeting pose.
Son Gohan, who was standing nearby, also greeted them politely. When he noticed Android 17 and Android 18 coming out, he paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and smiled politely.
"You're recovering quite well. I thought there might be some aftereffects. It seems the Special Medicine from the future world is really effective, making you back to your old self so quickly," Bulma teased, seeing how well Son Goku was recovering.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong showed an honest smile, and then turned his eyes to Talot, No. 17, and No. 18.
"I've already heard about you from Gohan. I didn't realize the difference between different timelines was so great. It's all thanks to you that we were able to defeat the real enemy lurking in the shadows," Son Goku greeted Talot in a friendly manner.
"It was nothing, Kakarot," Talot said with a smile.
During their first interaction, Android 17 and Android 18 took the opportunity to get a good look at Son Goku.
The siblings exchanged a glance, and their thoughts were conveyed to each other.
The gist of it is that, based on the data analysis, Son Goku, whom Dr. Gero has always wanted revenge on, doesn't seem to be that strong, and is even weaker than Vegeta, whom they defeated back then.
"Although I really want to challenge you, with my current strength, I'm afraid I can't even beat those two Androids over there." Son Goku naturally sensed the doubt and contempt from Android 17 and Android 18.
He spoke his mind without hiding anything, and although he was somewhat discouraged, he was even more excited inside.
Androids are powerful enough, then it proves that they still have room for improvement.
"No rush. I'll be staying in this world for a long time. You can challenge me when you feel you're strong enough. Also, there's something I need to remind you. Vegeta and Trunks went to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train a little over a day ago, and they should be out soon. If you don't want to fall behind them, you'd better go in and train too, and try to break through to the Super Saiyan level," Talot reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Son Goku's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "What?! Vegeta and Trunks have already gone to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train? I was thinking of telling everyone about the existence of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after I recovered... In that case, I'll head to Kami's Lookout right now."
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a treasure trove for quickly cultivating and becoming stronger!
One day outside is like a year inside. He believed that, given Vegeta's personality, he would pay any price to become stronger.
In other words, within two years, this guy's strength will definitely increase to a level that even he himself cannot imagine.
He had to go in there to avoid being left behind.
Immediately afterward, Son Goku hurriedly exchanged a few pleasantries with Talot and Bulma before leaving with Son Gohan.
Talot watched them leave, a slight smile playing on his lips.
I wonder what Son Goku will think when he sees the completely transformed Vegeta and Trunks?
Vegeta and Future Trunks haven't come out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber yet. He can go over after the father and son come out.
"So? What do you think of Son Goku?" Talot turned around and asked Android 17 and Android 18.
"Although the data we analyzed was a bit off, it wasn't too far off from what we had in the records. It's worth mentioning that Son Goku was indeed a good person, which is somewhat different from what the records say," Android 17 remarked.
"A large portion of the data Dr. Gero implanted in us is false, used to distort our memories. It's estimated that our future selves were influenced by these false memories and deeply altered, which is why we're causing destruction everywhere," said Android 18.
Talot nodded slightly as he listened to their conversation.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
At this moment, we are located Kami's Lookout.
Son Goku and Son Gohan had been waiting here for a long time.
During this time, Son Goku learned about Piccolo and Kami, as well as the impact of Dende's arrival on Earth and the transformation and upgrade of Shenron.
Son Gohan had learned of Dende's arrival from Bulma the day before yesterday, and the two chatted happily.
Time passed in this waiting.
The moment the Hyperbolic Time Chamber doors opened, Vegeta and Future Trunks exuded their steady and powerful auras.
This fierce aura instantly caught the attention of Son Goku and Son Gohan.
After finishing their training, Vegeta and Future Trunks walked to the platform of Kami's Lookout and met Son Goku and Son Gohan.
Two years of training had caused the Martial Arts Uniform worn by the father and son to be severely damaged.
If Popo hadn't prepared a lot of clothes inside, they wouldn't have any clothes to wear at this point.
Destined rivals, Son Goku and Vegeta locked eyes. At this moment, in terms of sheer presence, Vegeta undoubtedly held the upper hand.
After two years of grueling training, Vegeta's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be. In fact, it could be said that he is now as powerful as he was during the Majin Buu Saga seven years later in the original story.
Even the Perfect Cell from the original story—no! Even Lightning Cell— couldn't last more than a few rounds against Vegeta.
"Looks like you've recovered quite well, Kakarot." After a brief exchange of glances, Vegeta broke the heavy atmosphere with a devilish smile.
With his keen eye, he had already discerned Son Goku's current level.
Too weak! "It seems your training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber has improved your skills quite a bit, Vegeta." Son Goku could sense how strong Vegeta was before him; he was no longer comparable to him.
Whether it's his aura, physical strength, or spirit, Vegeta is far, far stronger than he is now.
"Hmph... If you want to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, then go ahead. But before you do, I must remind you that I have already surpassed the limits of Super Saiyan. Even if you finish your training, you may not be my match." Vegeta said arrogantly.
This statement reveals just how confident Vegeta is right now.
With his overwhelming power, he regained the dignity that belonged to the Saiyan Prince.
Son Goku was no longer of any interest to him. Even though the other party had greatly increased his strength through the cultivation in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was still confident that he could crush Son Goku.
He's the Prince of the Saiyan! Once he surpasses you, don't even think about easily overtaking him again! "It seems your power has increased even more than I imagined, but it's too early to draw conclusions, Vegeta." Son Goku knew Vegeta was very strong, but he wouldn't admit defeat.
"I hope so." Vegeta didn't intend to get entangled with Son Goku any further; he had more important things to do now.
Vegeta turned to look at Future Trunks beside him, gesturing with his eyes.
During the two years of companionship-based training, the father and son became very familiar with each other. They didn't need any verbal communication; a single glance was enough for them to understand each other.
Future Trunks turned around and retrieved the Capsule Corp that he had entrusted to God Servant Popo for safekeeping before he began his cultivation.
This contains their clothing and supplies.
This was also prepared by Bulma; she left some as spares outside, otherwise, if they were all used up inside, there wouldn't be any left.
Vegeta and Future Trunks changed into their Battle Armor right in front of everyone.
At this moment, Son Goku was already impatient.
However, we still need to wait a little longer before we can go in to cultivate.
The supplies in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber have been completely used up, and Popo needs to rearrange them first.
West City.
Talot's side.
Talot, who was meditating to recover, sensed the presence of Vegeta and Future Trunks and awoke from his meditative state.
"They've finally come out. Interesting. Reaching this level under my guidance is quite impressive." Talot's lips curled up as he assessed Vegeta and Future Trunks' current strength.
Under his deliberate guidance, Vegeta and Future Trunks improved far more than in the original story.
After getting up and greeting Bulma, Android 17, and Android 18, Talot used his Instant Transmission ability to arrive at the platform of Kami's Lookout.
His sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
At this moment, Vegeta and Future Trunks had finished changing their clothes and were looking at each other.
"Uncle Talot, you've arrived." Future Trunks greeted Talot respectfully as he approached him.
Thanks to Talot's guidance, he and his father were able to undergo a complete transformation and master power Beyond Super Saiyan! "It seems that your training and Vegeta's progress are quite good. You've already mastered the power of the Super Saiyan 2." Talot's gaze swept over Future Trunks as he spoke.
Their Battle Power under Base Form circumstances has already reached 1 billion.
With this level of strength, she could easily defeat Android 17 and Android 18 without even needing to transform.
As for Vegeta... his progress has exceeded Talot's expectations.
His aura, in terms of both intensity and power, far surpasses that of Trunks.
My previous perception was somewhat wrong; based on my close-up observation, the number is at least around 2 billion.
It seems that the impact I had on him two days ago was far greater than I had imagined.
At this moment, Vegeta's eyes were filled with burning flames as he looked at Talot.
His strength had indeed improved a lot, but what he wanted to know more was just how big the gap was between himself and Talot. Even though he knew he was no match for him, he still wanted to fight Talot.
After sensing Vegeta's fighting spirit, Talot met Vegeta's gaze.
Their eyes met, and the unspoken tension between them made the atmosphere in the Kami's Lookout incredibly oppressive.
"Do you want to fight me, Vegeta?" Talot said with a calm smile.
Vegeta clenched his fist, showing Talot his answer through his actions.
"It seems so." Talot did not refuse and accepted Vegeta's challenge.
The two reached an agreement and slowly ascended into the air, stopping a hundred meters above the Kami's Lookout.
"Dad really is going to challenge Uncle Talot after all." Future Trunks gazed at the sky above the Kami's Lookout and took a deep breath.
Even though he knew his father couldn't win, he was still looking forward to seeing how the battle would end.
Being no match for someone and being able to fight Talot are two different things.
"I wonder just how much Vegeta's power has increased?" Son Goku's expression also became excited.
Witnessing Vegeta and Talot's battle before entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber will give him more insights.
This will be of great benefit to his upcoming cultivation in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!
This is also a good opportunity to see what kind of power surpassing that of Super Saiyan is like.
Above the Kami's Lookout.
Talot and Vegeta locked eyes.
At this moment, Talot took out Virtual Glasses from his storage space and put them on to monitor Vegeta's Battle Power in real time.
Vegeta didn't say anything, and directly and unleashed all his Base Form Battle Power without restraint.
At this moment, his fierce aura swept across the sky like a torrent.
"Is this your full power now? Not bad, your Battle Power is already 2.2 billion." Talot said, looking at the data displayed on the Virtual Glasses.
"2.2 billion? I didn't expect someone like you to care about numbers. But you'd better not believe too much in numbers. The strength of us Saiyan cannot be measured by mere numbers," Vegeta said with a cold and arrogant expression, indirectly giving Talot a warning.
Upon hearing this, Talot smiled, took off his Virtual Glasses, and put them back into his storage space.
He simply looks at the specific values and then makes a more accurate judgment.
Use countless experiences to determine whether your perception is accurate enough.
"You're right. Numbers are outdated. The level of Battle Power changes constantly depending on the situation in battle. There's no point in saying more. Let's fight, Vegeta," Talot said.
Vegeta was waiting for this very sentence.
Almost the instant Talot finished speaking, Vegeta directly activated the Super Saiyan 1 Energy Pool within his body.
'Splash! Sp...
Golden flames surged from Vegeta's feet, engulfing his entire body. In an instant, an incomparably terrifying aura tore through the sky and enveloped Kami's Lookout.
Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan Full Power.
The entire transformation process was completed in one go, which shows how proficient he was in mastering this transformation.
However, in Talot's opinion, his control over power still had many flaws. Although the amount of aura leaked during transformation was not large, it was not small either.
"Super Saiyan Full Power State, not bad, but this shouldn't be your full strength yet," Talot said.
"Don't rush me, you'll have to give me time to adapt. Soon you'll see my true power." Vegeta smiled confidently, then a glint flashed in his eyes, and the overwhelming aura of his Super Saiyan Full Power state pressed down on Talot.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure, even Son Goku below would probably lose his ability to fight immediately.
But for Talot, this level of aura impact was nothing more than a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.
