Time Flies, Five Years Later
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed since Talot returned to Earth in the Main Timeline.
A lot has happened in the past five years.
It's worth mentioning that not long after Talot returned, Earth hosted the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament.
However, the original plot did not happen again. After all, everything had been changed, and no one had the leisure to participate in any Martial Arts Tournament. Everyone was busy breaking through their own limits.
In other words, the younger generation of children went to have some fun, and Videl definitely participated, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that her father could continue to be the Champion.
Actually, Mr. Satan is quite powerful, at least much more so than the Mr. Satan in the original story.
He has a combat power of several hundred points, and no one on Earthling can match him.
Of course, although the older generation of warriors did not participate, an unexpected event still occurred in this Martial Arts Tournament. Babidi still appeared, stole Majin Buu's Demon Egg, and then searched for energy on Earth to revive Majin Buu.
His subordinates, Yamu and Spobich, also participated in the competition, but they didn't absorb any energy before being killed by Bidelitaros and the others.
Later, the younger generation outwitted and outmaneuvered Babidi and his gang. Upon learning of the situation, the East Supreme Kai immediately came to Earth to help the children break the deadlock.
Majin Buu was resurrected, but the younger generation of warriors actively released their energy for him to absorb.
The purpose was to see just how powerful Majin Buu was.
The result was quite disappointing; the resurrected Fat Buu's strength was only at the level of trillions to Trillion Grade units.
Leaving aside Tarola, Taros, Son Gohan, Treep, even characters like Dore, Trunks, Son Goten could be easily dealt with after their transformations.
Midway through, the evil Majin Buu appeared and replaced Fat Buu, but his strength was still not much. Even though he successfully devoured two little guys to increase his strength, he was still easily defeated by Tarola and Taros when they took it seriously.
The final result was that Evil Buu was defeated, but Fat Buu survived, just like in the original story.
The main reason he wasn't killed was because Tarola thought Fat Buu was quite cute. After their initial encounter, she felt he wasn't bad and was easy to get along with, so she saved him.
After all, she's the boss; her words carry weight with the younger generation, and everyone obeys her.
After that, in order to eliminate the effects caused by Majin Buu, he made a wish through Shenron and it was granted.
In order to allow Fat Buu to live a good life on Earth without being feared by people, and also to make everyone accept Majin Buu's strange appearance.
After six months of peace, a small accident occurred: due to a moment of carelessness, the container storing evil in the Underworld exploded, giving birth to Janemba.
Ultimately, they are monsters created by the evil energy of Majin Buu.
With such an anomaly occurring in the Underworld, the Z Fighters naturally stepped forward to resolve it without hesitation.
It must be said that this Janemba is indeed quite capable. Although his strength is only so-so compared to the current Z Fighters, the series of skills he has mastered are definitely worth learning from.
In the process of eliminating the Janemba, something happened that no one else noticed.
This anomaly even led Talot to once again step into the Time-Space Tunnel to trace the source of the anomaly.
An unknown dark force invaded his spacetime world, amplifying the Janemba to some extent.
Talot was certain that this evil dark force came from the Dark Demon Realm, but he didn't know which Demon God's power it was...
After this incident, Talot also sought out God of Destruction Beerus, and Whis, the Angel, and discussed many things about other timelines.
In summary, unstable factors have emerged in spacetime, and the original pattern is being disrupted by a special and powerful force.
According to Whis, the Time Patrol is already investigating, and for the time being, it does not pose a threat to their timeline.
And indeed, after this exception, no similar situation has occurred again.
However, this very situation foreshadows a major event that is bound to occur in the near future.
After the problem of the Janemba was resolved, another six months passed peacefully.
During these six months, the Z Fighters' strength improved by leaps and bounds. It was at this time that Earth welcomed a dark sorcerer who brought an unopenable music box and staged a pitiful scene of begging the fighters to help him open it.
Because Talot was at a crucial moment in his secluded cultivation at the time, he had no idea that this had happened.
This led to the plot unfolding just like in the original story.
Without a doubt, the music box contains the Warrior Tapion, while Tapion's body contains the Phantom Majin Hirudegarn.
It has to be said that this is another product from the Demon Realm.
In the original story, Son Goku ultimately relied on transforming into Super Saiyan 3 to find Hirudegarn's weakness and kill him with the Dragon Fist.
The reality was quite different. Even though Hirudegarn was very strong, he was only at the Trillion Grade. The younger generation had also improved their strength considerably in the past year and easily eliminated him.
It's fair to say that when Talot learned of this news, he treated it like a story, simply catching up on the event.
Ultimately, it was under his leadership that everyone's strength became too great.
The overwhelming power that transcends eras is like a giant from a later Super Era facing an enemy from an earlier time—an ant.
After what happened with Hirudegarn, Talot decided to visit the Demon Realm out of curiosity, to see how different this Demon Realm in this time and space was from the Dark Demon Realm.
During this adventure, Talot witnessed all sorts of things in the Demon Realm and was amazed by the creatures that lived Demon Realm.
To be fair, one good thing about the Demon Realm is that its unique environment is perfect for people like them to cultivate in a different setting.
While exploring the Demon Realm of his native time and space, Talot also happens to become involved in a bloody battle for the inheritance of the Dragon Ball Daima.
Because when the Demon King Dabura came to Earth with Babidi, he was killed by his own children, and since then the Throne of the Dragon Ball Daima of the Demon Realm has been vacant.
Talot met the new Dragon Ball Daima Gomah and also witnessed the incredibly magical Demonic Third Eye.
It's truly unbelievable that someone with a strength exceeding 100 million could directly ascend to the Sixth Dimension.
This Demonic Third Eye also reminded Talot of the Demon God's Eye in the side story he had read.
However, there are still significant differences between the two.
The most outrageous thing is that this Demonic Third Eye is a wholesale product. Although its origin is unknown, it is certain that there are at least three in the Demon Realm at present.
Perhaps it was created by some Demon God or scientist.
For the next two or three years, nothing major happened.
This means that when the warriors break through their limits, they will challenge each other, and there will be minor incidents such as challenging the God of Destruction.
In conclusion, after five years, everyone's strength has changed dramatically.
On the South Sea.
There is an island that is not large in size, but has a complete and luxurious array of buildings and facilities.
Years ago, Bulma bought this place under the name of Capsule Corp Company and has been building it ever since.
Until last year, the private island was fully completed and became a private island for the Talot family to vacation and have gatherings with everyone.
Actually, this was also Bulma's way of training to provide a better environment for her family and children.
Even though the West City Estate is large and connected to the West Capital Great Plain, it cannot compare to the absolute tranquility and seclusion of this place.
At this very moment, on the island's beach, Talot is enjoying a sunbath with his family.
There were other people present, such as Mr. Satan, Mr. Satan's daughter Videl, Son Gohan, Treep, and the others...
Two years ago, his daughter and Son Gohan got together, which fulfilled what Selari had said when he returned. They eventually became husband and wife and had a son.
Talot was quite upset about the child's name for a long time. Why did he have to name him Sun Wuneng, which means all-powerful?
The meaning was good, but it inexplicably reminded Talot of the pig from Journey to the West in his previous life. A month later, after Talot had been calling her "Xiao Luo Qiang Xiao Luo Qiang," she changed her name to Sun Xiao Luo.
Although everyone was surprised as to why Talot was so obsessed with the word "Luo," no one asked, and Talot never offered an explanation.
Actually, it was because this child really looked a lot like him when he was a child in his previous life.
There was an inexplicable sense of warmth and familiarity.
To be fair, Talot is actually a very open-minded person; otherwise, he wouldn't want his daughter to be taken by Son Gohan.
In short, looking at it another way, at least Son Gohan got off easy; otherwise, an ordinary person on Earth definitely wouldn't have been able to accept it.
After Tarola and Son Gohan, Taros and Videl also got married last year. The two naturally came together, and most importantly, Videl is now pregnant with a baby.
Talot didn't really care about the name, after all, it wasn't that exaggerated to call Sun Wuneng.
However, Erxiao knew how much he cared about the name Luo, so after discussing it, they reported the name Luo Meimei.
Meimei?
That's right!
The baby in her belly is a girl.
Although he was annoyed that his son and Videl had chosen such casual names, Talot couldn't help but feel a little moved by the use of the character "Luo" at the beginning of their names.
Although there is no such thing as a surname starting with the first character, it was indeed of extraordinary significance to him.
Fortunately, the name "Meimei" was easy to pronounce, so Talot accepted it naturally.
"Dad, I think you shouldn't spoil Sun Xiao Luo too much. He's not even two years old yet, and he doesn't listen to us when we're around," Son Gohan complained to Talot, somewhat amused and exasperated.
He felt helpless. As a father, he could only discipline his son in secret. Whenever his elders were around, his words were useless.
The little guy is very smart; he can read people's expressions and knows when he can act cute and when he must hold back from making his parents angry.
"She took after Tarola when she was little. Ask her how mischievous she was as a child," Talot laughed.
The criticism was directed at Tarola, making her blush with embarrassment as Tarola was busy working nearby.
"Dad, is it okay for you to expose my shortcomings like this? Although I was playful when I was young, I was not like this kid who started playing tricks on me and Gohan at such a young age."
"Mommy, bad. Daddy, bad."
Sun Xiao Luo may not seem to be very good at expressing herself verbally, but she is able to express her meaning precisely.
In his mind, with his grandfather around, no one could do anything to him.
Grandfather?
That's right!
Originally, it was for his maternal grandfather, but Talot felt that calling him "grandpa" made him feel closer, so he changed it to "grandpa".
It wasn't a big deal in itself; the Earth in this world isn't too strict about names.
Besides, it's this group of people.
Worldly views cannot restrict them.
"Look, Dad, with you backing him up, he still dares to give his old lady the cold shoulder." Tarola was furious and grabbed Sun Xiao Luo by the collar.
Sun Xiao Luo flapped her little hands, pleading for help from Talot, while also making indistinct calls.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated; this time, Talot was prepared to watch the show.
Parents naturally won't spoil their children, so they sometimes indulge them, but when it's time to truly educate them, they still need to do so.
After all, he's a boy; he won't amount to anything without being disciplined.
Without Talot's protection, Sun Xiao Luo was quickly beaten up, crying and sniffling, but he dared not say anything bad about his parents again.
Wow, that's impressive! Such a young child with such a big mind.
Son Gohan covered his face and chuckled to himself, thinking that his son was quite the rascal.
"Speaking of which, how have your father and uncle been cultivating in the God of Destruction Realm lately? I remember the last time they came back was about half a year ago. Have they made any new breakthroughs?" Talot asked.
Upon hearing this, Son Gohan nodded slightly. "I haven't received any news either. I suppose it's because he wants to break through to Ultra Instinct so he can challenge you, Dad... Ever since he reached Super Saiyan Blue 3 more than a year ago, although he successfully became Super Saiyan 4, my dad has been unable to reach Super Saiyan 5. So, with Whis's guidance, he switched to training a divine technique."
Talot nodded slightly.
"That kid has always been simple-minded. Once he decides on a direction, he'll throw himself into everything and never bother to come back and check on you," Talot said.
"Uncle too, lately Aunt Launch has been nagging him a lot, telling him to die out there and never come back," Son Gohan continued, half-laughing and half-crying.
That's in line with Launch's style, but it's just talk.
She and Chi-Chi are actually quite similar in personality; they are both rather straightforward.
They would actually be happy for Son Goku and Raditz if their husbands could become stronger.
"I'll go and see them when I have some free time, give them a good talking to, and try to spend some more time with my family."
After saying this, Talot got up from the beach chair and stretched.
He has indeed had enough rest recently, and his strength is now vastly different from what it used to be after five years.
Especially after achieving his final breakthrough a few months ago, he has been resting. Now that his vacation is almost over, he should move towards a new level and needs to do some things.
