A Gradually Deviating Trajectory (Part 2)
The wartime conflicts, along with the demise of the Ginyu Force and King Cold's strongest army, finally subsided, and the vast land, after enduring a barrage of energy attacks, finally had a chance to breathe. As far as the eye could see, the plains had been reduced to scorched earth, making it hard to imagine that this scorched earth had once been home to a metropolis with a population of over a million.
As the smoke cleared, yellow sand swirled in the air, and a gentle breeze rustled through the air.
After the violent energy dissipated, the low-hanging sky finally revealed a patch of azure blue.
But not long after, the sky darkened again. Unlike the previous gloomy scene of dark clouds looming over the city and filled with a murderous aura, the sky was now even blacker, as if it had been soaked in ink. Yet, it appeared quite calm overall, without any intimidating pressure.
"What happened now?"
Looking at the sky, which was completely devoid of stars, Vegeta's heart, which had just settled down, immediately jumped again.
Looking around, they found no powerful enemies.
At this moment, Goku said, "Don't worry, it's the Old Kami summoning the Shenron!"
"Shenron..."
Vegeta muttered to himself in confusion, then suddenly remembered what Tarble had mentioned about the Dragon Ball. His breathing quickened, and he shouted, "You mean someone is using the Dragon Ball? That means Shenron can really grant any wish?"
"Yes, as long as it doesn't exceed the authority of the Kami, wishes like bringing the dead back to life can be granted. You see, those innocent people you killed can be resurrected immediately."
After hearing Goku's explanation, Vegeta's eyes widened immediately.
Then, under his incredulous gaze, a magical force began to take effect on the earth, as if time had reversed. In a very short time, the city that had become ruins began to integrate and reshape itself. Collapsed buildings were re-erected one by one, and the craters from the impact were filled in and disappeared one after another.
Soon, skyscrapers reappeared, asphalt roads and overpasses were restored, and the lush vegetation along the wide roads returned to normal. Except for the lack of people, the entire city had returned to its pre-disaster state.
"The city has actually recovered!!"
Staring in disbelief at the scene before him, Vegeta was in a deep state of shock.
"Hehe, those innocent dead should be resurrected too," Goku said with a profound gaze. Sure enough, a while after he said this, all the innocent dead were indeed resurrected.
Watching the miracle unfold right before his eyes, Vegeta was speechless with astonishment; it all felt like a dream.
"Dragon Ball are such amazing things."
Vegeta's breathing became somewhat rapid.
The magical Dragon Ball, capable of granting any wish, would grant him eternal life if he obtained them. Surpassing Frieza would be a piece of cake, and then who could stand against him? After witnessing the miracle created by the Dragon Ball, Vegeta's mind was filled with these thoughts.
Then, glancing at Goku and Piccolo beside him, Vegeta felt a bucket of cold water poured over him. He sighed dejectedly, realizing that with these people Planet Sadala around, his ambition to obtain the Dragon Ball from Earth was impossible.
"The people who created the Dragon Ball must be Namekian. Since we can't get the Dragon Ball from Earth, we'll have to go to Planet Namek."
Vegeta pondered to himself, trying his best not to show his excitement.
Goku glanced at Vegeta casually, not paying him any attention. He chuckled, took out a few Senzu Bean, and tossed them to Tien Shinhan and Piccolo, while also throwing one to Vegeta.
"Eat it, you've used up a lot of energy just now."
"..."
Vegeta silently caught the Senzu Bean, then put it in his mouth, and his depleted strength quickly recovered.
Goku ignored Vegeta; in his eyes, Vegeta was no different from the Saiyan on Planet Sadala.
Next, they talked to Piccolo and the others about the impact of the Ginyu Force and King Cold's Elite Squad appearing on Earth. Everyone agreed that if this matter was not handled properly, Earth would be exposed to greedy aliens, and endless harassment would await them.
"If this problem isn't solved, there will be endless troubles in the future."
"The best way to deal with those aliens is to scare them into submission. Instead of worrying about trouble coming our way, we should find a typical figure to establish our authority. The more ruthless we are, the less they will dare to provoke us," Piccolo said in a cold voice.
"Actively establishing authority...?"
"I think Piccolo has a point."
Although this method is a bit simplistic and crude, it is arguably the most effective approach.
Chi-Chi, Krillin, and the others all nodded in agreement. Relying on remote locations to hide from enemies wasn't a sustainable solution. Times had changed; Earth was no longer a primitive planet.
Speaking of fighting, Bulla perked up completely, his bright and energetic eyes blinking, as if he didn't want to miss out on a good fight, indicating that he hadn't had enough and wanted an even more intense battle.
"Wow, let me handle this fight, I'm very experienced."
"Back on the Planet Sadala, very few people could defeat me."
Everyone smiled knowingly at her childish temper and didn't take it to heart, but they secretly thought that Bulla was much more impatient than Goku.
At this moment, Tarble, Nappa, Kagis, and other weaker individuals arrived late, flying over from a distance. During the initial battle, due to their inferior strength, they had been protected in the rear until the battle ended and they were certain there was no danger before setting off towards Goku and the others.
Nappa's face was pale, and his rough cheeks could not hide his excitement.
"Vegeta, you guys are amazing! You even defeated the Ginyu Force!" Then, looking worried, he added, "Frieza must already know about our betrayal. What do we do now?"
"You and Kagis can go to the Planet Sadala with Tarble. No matter how powerful Frieza is, he wouldn't dare to mess with Planet Sadala."
Vegeta said indifferently.
Over the past few years, he has gained a deep understanding of the relationship between Frieza Force and Sephiria Force. Although the two sides claim to be cooperating on an equal footing, Vegeta doesn't really believe it. Based on his understanding of Frieza, how could he cooperate willingly without comparable strength?
"Brother, aren't you coming to the Planet Sadala with me?" Tarble couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not going to the Planet Sadala."
Vegeta shook his head and said decisively.
Tarble was a little disappointed, but he knew his brother's personality; once he made up his mind, there was no point in trying to persuade him. So he simply kept quiet, took out a few Senzu Bean from his pocket, and handed them to Vegeta.
"Brother, be careful out there all by yourself. Here are a few Senzu Bean, please keep them safe. If you ever encounter danger, be sure to come to Planet Sadala. Although Yashi and I can't help much, we can provide intelligence support."
Yashi is Vine Race Maiden from the Planet Sadala who was arranged to live with Tarble. She has now married Tarble and has several children.
"You don't need to worry about me."
Vegeta nodded to Tarble, then took out a controller and pressed a button. The Spherical Spacepod that had brought him to Earth earlier quickly flew over from the horizon.
It landed beside him with a whoosh, Vegeta climbed into the spacecraft, waving to Tarble and Nappa.
"Nappa, Kagis, from now on you'll live with Tarble on Planet Sadala. It's very different from Planet Vegeta."
Vegeta gave a final reminder and then closed the hatch.
Call out.
The white aircraft, flashing with light, rose straight into the sky and vanished in a flash as a black dot.
"That Vegeta guy, he actually cares about people," Nappa murmured, stroking his bald head as he said to Tarble, "Prince Tarble..."
"Call me Tarble. I'm just an ordinary Saiyan on Planet Sadala."
"Oh, Tarble."
Nappa and Kagis nodded repeatedly, because they had never interacted with Tarble before and didn't know what kind of person Tarble was, but he seemed to be easy to talk to.
He then inquired about the Planet Sadala, and Tarble provided a detailed explanation.
When they learned that Planet Sadala was the central planet of the Sephiria Force, inhabited by countless powerful Saiyan, Nappa and Kagis were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. They knew about the Sephiria Force; they were a super behemoth whose influence spanned the entire North Galaxy. As the saying goes, it's good to take shelter under a big tree. With such a powerful background, their future would be much more comfortable.
"... You'll find out the details when you get to the Planet Sadala. Raditz is there now, and you'll be able to meet him soon."
"Mmm." Nappa and Kagis were both roughnecks who only knew how to fight, and their minds were simple. They just listened to whatever Tarble said.
"Mr. Goku, Mr. Piccolo, the matter on Earth is settled, we'll take our leave now."
They greeted Goku and his companions politely.
Tarble took out his own spaceship, an advanced spaceship produced by the Sephiria Force. It was over six meters long, enough to accommodate several people, and more importantly, its travel speed was hundreds of times that of Spherical Spacepod, allowing it to travel from Earth to the Planet Sadala in just a few days.
After Tarble and the others left, Goku and the others also headed towards the Kami's Lookout together. They had a lot to discuss about how to protect Earth under the new circumstances.
Soon, the soldiers left one by one, and the empty city returned to its former state. Not long after, when television workers from all over the world carried their cameras to the heart of the battlefield to capture news footage, they were stunned to see the orderly and bustling city restored to its former glory.
Being there in person, it was all real; the satellite city that had been razed to the ground had actually been restored to its original state.
"Dragon Ball, all of this is due to the power of the Kami!"
"Mr. Goku and his companions have saved the world once again."
After the television station interviewed the city's residents and confirmed that the crisis had passed, the world was in an uproar. Just like when King Piccolo was defeated, the city, once again in ruins, was revitalized after the disaster. However, this time the enemy was stronger and more dangerous than before, but fortunately, the martial artists of Earth once again emerged victorious.
"It was Mr. Goku and his companions who defeated the evil invaders, saving the Earth once again and upholding the dignity of Earthling."
"Martial artists are the hope of the Earth; they are the greatest contributors."
On television, the King Furry appeared on screen, once again expressing his gratitude to the warriors who fought valiantly to protect the Earth. He also announced that he would continue to increase support for the development of martial arts, and countless people, filled with admiration for their idol, embarked on the path of martial arts, with the number of people challenging Korin Tower surging dramatically.
"Goku, Goku!"
"Long live Goddess Chi-Chi and Goddess Suno!"
In the streets and alleys, people shouted with reverence.
In a laboratory in the Northern Hemisphere, Dr. Gero, with his gray hair, stared grimly at the battle footage broadcast on the screen. His sinister eyes flashed with a cold light, his arms trembled slightly, and he growled in his throat.
"It's Goku again. Everyone is grateful to you, but I'm determined to destroy you."
"It won't be long before my Android are completed, and the first person I'll kill is you!"
Dr. Gero's hatred for Goku ran deep. He took a deep breath, opened the secret passage of the laboratory, and entered a more secluded room where he conducted research on bio-engineered Android.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The research equipment hummed as the indicator lights flickered on and off. Dr. Gero stared intently at the last set of data, carefully modifying the genome. But just then, the double helix gene sequence suddenly broke. To make matters worse, the biochemical incubator that was maintaining the gene culture lost power.
The temperature rose sharply, the protein began to deactivate, and all previous research was rendered useless.
Dr. Gero's face froze, and he roared angrily, "How many times has this happened? Why does research on Saiyan genes always fail?"
Planet Yardrat.
Roland accompanied Sephiria in training their two children.
He lived a very comfortable life during this time, spending his days accompanying Sephiria in martial arts training and his nights indulging in revelry, leading an infinitely luxurious life. In his words, training requires a balance of intensity and relaxation, and appropriate relaxation is essential. It's unclear how much of his nonsense Sephiria believed, but she seemed quite cooperative most of the time.
By the pool, Roland sat and talked with Sephiria, Broly, and Melutis.
Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind—the voice of Tamagami. It turned out that the Old Kami wanted to use the Earth Dragon Balls to restore the cities destroyed by the Saiyan and revive the innocent lives they had killed. Roland naturally agreed.
"So, Vegeta has already gone to Earth. Hmm, the timing does seem about right."
After contacting Planet Sadala, he finally understood what was happening on Earth. To his surprise, Frieza's Ginyu Force and King Cold's Elite Squad had also appeared on Earth, and had all been wiped out.
"The defeat of the Ginyu Force and the Elite Squad will surely attract the attention of Frieza and King Cold. If either of them decides to go to Earth, things will get interesting."
Roland smiled, a hint of amusement appearing on her lips.
Now, with his strength reaching the Super Saiyan Super Power stage, he has surpassed the ordinary Super Saiyan 2. Even facing Super Saiyan 3, he is not afraid at all. At this point, Frieza or King Cold are just ordinary people in his eyes and can no longer arouse his fear.
Like a dragon leaping out of a pool, everything has changed completely.
Even if the future trajectory deviates from the original story, he has enough confidence to handle it.
