A thought suddenly surfaced in Reiz's mind.
Is it possible, he wondered, that she is an apprentice angel who came to Planet Vegeta for training?
Although there was no such person as Linoshi in the original story, that did not necessarily mean she did not exist.
In the known plot, Merus seemed to be the only apprentice angel.
However, that did not mean there were no other apprentice angels besides Merus.
The Angel race could not possibly consist of only a few individuals.
If she truly were an apprentice angel...
What would that imply?
Forget it, stop thinking about it.
Why dwell on it so much?
The Angel race did not care about justice or evil at all.
Even if this planet were to vanish, it would be nothing more than a passing cloud to them.
After all, the Angel race are true gods, possessing eternal life.
For now, I had better focus on increasing my strength as quickly as possible.
There shouldn't be anyone nearby anymore; it is time to attempt the Super Saiyan transformation.
"Snap!"
Golden light erupted from Reiz's entire body, his hair stood straight up, and he activated the Super Saiyan transformation instantly.
Vast energy surged wildly from Reiz, sweeping outward in all directions with him at the center.
The rocks beneath his feet could not withstand this pressure and groaned, with fine cracks spreading outward from where Reiz stood.
Success!
I can finally trigger the Super Saiyan transformation.
Now, as long as I raise my base combat power to 3 million, I can definitely defeat the Universe Emperor Frieza!
However, Reiz then thought of something else.
That is... Frieza has an older brother.
His name is Cooler.
Cooler's combat power is 470 million.
In other words, I need to raise my base combat power to at least 10 million and transform into a Super Saiyan to be able to contend with Cooler.
The road ahead is long and fraught with difficulties.
In one month, raising my combat power to 3 million is a possibility.
But 10 million... that is truly too difficult.
Wait!
If Linoshi really is an apprentice angel...
Why don't I learn Ultra Instinct from her?
Angels are born with the ability to use Ultra Instinct.
Reiz dissipated his Super Saiyan form, the golden light on his body gradually fading as his hair returned to black.
He looked up at the sky.
Going by Earth time, it was already around 11:00 PM on Planet Vegeta.
I should head home first.
Reiz suppressed his aura, keeping his combat power at around 10,000, then emitted a faint glow in the night sky as he flew toward his home.
The night wind whistled past his ears, and below him lay rolling wilderness and the occasional Saiyan settlement.
Reiz's thoughts remained fixed on that strange girl from earlier.
6,000 kilometers in 10 seconds.
Who exactly is she?
Is she really an apprentice angel?
As Reiz was thinking, his expression suddenly tightened.
Not far ahead, two auras suddenly appeared.
One of those auras was extremely powerful.
The other aura was relatively weak.
Upon closer sensing, he realized that besides those two, there was another very faint aura, so weak it could almost be ignored.
Reiz pressed the scouter worn over his eye.
"Beep! Beep!"
With two soft sounds, the scouter quickly displayed the combat power readings for the three individuals.
The strongest of them actually possessed a combat power of 15,000.
The second person's combat power was quite average, sitting at only 500.
As for the third, the combat power was a pathetic 2.
Reiz could figure out their identities even with his eyes closed.
Especially the one with a combat power of only 2; his identity was exceptionally unique.
Because he was Kakarot, the protagonist of the Dragon Ball world, also known as Son Goku.
According to the original plot, tonight should be the scene where Son Goku's father, Bardock, and mother, Gine, send him off to Earth.
Reiz had not expected to run into them just like this.
The moment Reiz sensed the presence of Bardock and his companions, Bardock clearly detected Reiz through his own scouter as well.
The two parties met in the night sky.
Bardock was burly, his face bearing the fierce, courageous aura unique to Saiyans.
His eyes were filled with vigilance at this moment, and he subconsciously shielded the woman behind him more tightly.
"Who are you?" Bardock stared at Reiz and asked in a deep voice.
Reiz did not answer immediately, his gaze shifting past Bardock to land on the woman behind him.
Gine looked much younger than Bardock, with delicate features and a softness in her eyes rarely seen among Saiyans.
At this moment, she was looking at Reiz with a face full of nervousness, one hand protecting the spherical spaceship she carried on her shoulder.
The ship was not large, just enough to accommodate a toddler.
Inside the transparent hatch, a tiny figure was waving its arms.
That was Kakarot.
At this moment, Kakarot was crying loudly inside the ship, occasionally slapping the cabin wall with his small hands, his little face flushed red.
Reiz was already very familiar with this plot.
A certain manga from the Galactic Patrol clearly recorded the scene of Bardock and Gine sending Kakarot to Earth.
The movie plot of the new Broly also contained this record.
"Reiz," Reiz stated his name, his tone indifferent.
"You are Reiz?" Bardock was startled, the look of vigilance on his face easing slightly, replaced by a complex surprise. "The strongest warrior of the younger generation, Reiz?"
Reiz nodded slightly.
His reputation on Planet Vegeta was indeed immense.
For one, he was the recognized super-genius warrior, and furthermore, he was a figure heavily cultivated by King Vegeta.
Secondly, he was also Vegeta's teacher, responsible for guiding the prince's training.
Yes, this was also the reason why King Vegeta had not disposed of Reiz in the past.
That King actually understood very clearly: rather than exiling such a super-genius warrior to a distant planet, it was better to keep him to serve him well.
And when Vegeta was just born with a combat power of 800, King Vegeta had smiled brilliantly.
Although it was 200 lower than Reiz's, his own son was already quite remarkable.
The moment Vegeta was born, King Vegeta immediately announced the appointment of Reiz as Vegeta's teacher, responsible for instructing him and helping him increase his combat power.
At this current point in time, Vegeta was 5 years old, and Kakarot was 3.
And Vegeta's combat power had already reached the height of 15,000.
As for why Vegeta's combat power was only 18,000 more than 20 years later?
That was because Frieza had kept Vegeta active only in the "newbie village."
Just think about it: a max-level character killing monsters in a newbie village—it would be a miracle if his combat power could increase.
This was also the reason why Vegeta had reached a combat power of 15,000 at the age of 5, yet only had 18,000 when attacking Earth.
An increase of 3,000 in combat power was already the result of Vegeta killing countless small fry, accumulating experience point by point.
It was not until Vegeta fought Son Goku on Earth that his combat power saw a meteoric rise.
