Bardock Returns

Chapter 5: Bardock Returns

That said, Talot only knew fragments about this era of Dragon Ball's story from the original work. There was no precise timeline.

So if he wanted to know everything, he had to live through this period of history himself.

That was also why Talot had been waiting for Bardock to return.

Only by learning about Bardock's current mission and the target of his next mission could he make a judgment.

One thing was certain: the God of Destruction and the Angel had only just left Planet Vegeta. Even if they went to find Frieza next, the destruction of Planet Vegeta would not happen anytime soon.

Besides, before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, Frieza had specifically recalled all the Saiyans fighting abroad. Only then had he been able to wipe out both the planet and its race in one fell swoop.

"Forget about this for now. The more I think about it, the more complicated it gets. I should think about how to leave Planet Vegeta safely instead."

The plot of this world, frankly speaking, was far from as simple as Talot had originally understood it to be.

He had constantly been trying to establish an accurate timeline, all so he could seize every advantage. After all, he was a Transmigrator. That was his greatest edge.

"What a headache. If I had some kind of cheat, why would I need to use my brain? What a disgrace for a Transmigrator."

Although Saiyan blood was the greatest cheat of all, he did not have time to develop.

If not for this constraint, if he were on Earth, there would be more than one path to becoming stronger. As long as he made effective use of the protagonist's opportunities provided by the original work, he was certain he could rapidly grow stronger.

"I definitely can't do anything about Bardock, but I'd better take Aunt Gine with me when I leave Planet Vegeta," he muttered.

One could not be ungrateful.

Talot had always planned to do exactly that.

Otherwise, if it were only himself, he had actually had one or two chances to leave Planet Vegeta alone half a year ago.

In the original work, Gine had died because Bardock had not been decisive enough.

In truth, even if Gine, with her low Battle Power, had left Planet Vegeta together with Kakarot, no one would have suspected anything.

Besides, there was a similar example in the original work. Paragus had even openly coerced a companion into stealing a Spaceship to search for his exiled son, Broly.

Of course, there were many other complications involved, but it had to be said that once you reached an Alien planet and cut off contact, no one would know whether you were dead or alive. No one would truly come looking for you, either.

Besides, you did not have any absolute value to them.

Over the years, Talot had been cultivating while also learning and studying how to pilot those Spaceships, as well as their various functions and structures.

He did so in order to know enough to conveniently cut off any tracking after leaving Planet Vegeta.

Time passed little by little.

After considering several methods, Talot continued his Ki Cultivation as usual.

It had to be said that this round of cultivation brought him enormous improvement.

His Battle Power had surely surpassed the thousand-point threshold! He had almost failed to control his Ki and nearly exposed himself.

He did not know whether it was because the crisis was drawing near, or because sensing the God of Destruction and Angel had greatly increased the pressure on him.

In any case, the combined influence of various factors had undoubtedly stimulated his potential.

After night fell, Talot habitually went to Gine's place for dinner, then chatted with her for a long while.

That night was one of the few nights when Talot could not sleep.

Although he had always been troubled by the crisis of the planet's impending destruction, it had not yet happened. So even when he thought about it, he had never worried himself to the point of insomnia.

Besides, he had always maintained the habit of exercising and training every day, so when it was time to sleep, he usually fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Around noon the next day.

Because he had spent the entire night awake, Talot had only fallen asleep when dawn was just beginning to break.

He did not wake up until now.

Still somewhat weary, Talot got out of bed and washed his face, finally becoming fully alert.

"Sure enough, a person can't carry too many heavy thoughts. Otherwise, even with great strength and mental power, they'll eventually be disturbed by them."

He moved around lightly in the room and loosened his muscles and joints.

Only then did he spread out his Ki Sense to familiarize himself with the progress brought by yesterday's breakthrough.

Suddenly, Talot sensed an enormous Ki, making him pause in surprise.

"Bardock's Ki? He's back?"

The astonished words slipped from his mouth.

Although Gine had already told him the exact time, suddenly sensing that Ki upon waking still caught him off guard.

"Sure enough, I'm still not sensitive enough. I'm too dull. Such an enormous Ki appeared nearby, yet I only noticed it now." With a sigh, Talot knew that he was still too weak.

For a moment, he felt as though he had been living too comfortably.

At Bardock's home.

The returned Bardock had already begun eating the food Gine had cooked. As they talked, he learned about the family's situation over the recent period.

Only afterward did he enter the room under Gine's lead and see his younger son, Kakarot.

"Kakarot... This brat is already six months old. He still hasn't woken up?"

Muttering to himself, Bardock activated his Battle Power Detector.

'Beep beep beep beep... Beep beep beep beep...'

Battle Power: 2

"So it really is only 2, and it hasn't changed since he was born." There was a faint trace of disappointment in Bardock's voice.

His eldest son, Raditz, was an Elite Warrior. Though he had only barely crossed that passing line, he still had at least 200 Battle Power.

Yet this younger son only had 2. Even the lowest-ranked support-type Saiyans were not that weak.

Although, as a Low-Class Warrior, he knew that a Saiyan's Battle Power at birth did not necessarily mean their future would be poor.

Still, Kakarot truly showed him no future.

"Bardock, although Kakarot's Battle Power really is low, he's our son no matter what. You can't hurt him." Gine stood nearby, afraid that Bardock might do something extreme.

She was a mother. Even if her son's Battle Power was low, it did not matter to her.

On the contrary, Kakarot's weakness only further stirred her desire to protect him.

"What are you thinking? I'm not so cold and heartless that I could kill my own child, Gine." Bardock looked at his wife as he spoke.

At the same time, he silently sighed to himself.

After what he had experienced on this mission, his worries had only grown heavier.

Kakarot being weak was not necessarily a bad thing.

At least, no one would pay attention to him. Even if they did notice him, they would overlook him because his Battle Power was only 2.

Over the past few years, the pressure on Bardock had grown greater and greater. There were quite a few voices within the clan alone.

As a result, King Vegeta had arranged for his son Raditz to stay by the Prince's side. It seemed like an honor, but in reality, his son was being used as a hostage.
