A month passed quickly. On that day, Gaino and Laiya used Instant Transmission to move the Saiyans who wanted to leave to a planet near Planet Vegeta.
Before long, everyone saw the emperor of the universe, Frieza, heading for Planet Vegeta with his army. Watching the vast procession, the Saiyans on the planet where Gaino was staying swallowed nervously.
They could sense Frieza's overwhelming power, and they had already lost the will to fight.
When Gaino brought these people away, he destroyed all of Frieza's tracking devices, so Frieza would never find their location.
Before long, everyone saw an enormous Ki Blast hurtling toward Planet Vegeta. Seeing this, Gaino said to Laiya, "Laiya, go save Aunt Gine. I'll go save Uncle Bardock."
"Okay." With that, the two of them vanished.
In truth, Gaino didn't want to save Bardock. To him, only Bum, Tasha, and Laiya mattered. Whether the other Saiyans lived or died had nothing to do with him.
But just as Frieza's enormous energy ball was about to strike Planet Vegeta, the system issued him a quest.
System: Ding! The parents of the child of destiny in the Dragon Ball world are about to perish. A quest is hereby issued.
Quest: Save the parents of the child of destiny.
Reward: Divine Instant Transmission.
Was Divine Instant Transmission the same technique Kibito Kai used?
System: Yes. It can take you even farther than Kibito Kai's Instant Transmission. As long as you have a map of the Dragon Ball world, you can travel to any location you can think of.
Damn, was it really that powerful? If I had maps of all twelve universes, could I travel anywhere in them?
System: That is correct.
All right. In that case, I'll definitely save the parents of the child of destiny.
On Planet Vegeta, Bardock watched the enormous energy ball hurtling toward his home. He powered up with all his might, pushing his ki to its limit, but he was simply too weak. The energy ball kept forcing him toward Planet Vegeta at tremendous speed.
Just as Bardock was about to be swallowed by the energy ball, a hand lifted it up. The massive sphere didn't move down even a fraction. Gaino grabbed Bardock around the waist and used Instant Transmission to escape the blast's range.
Gaino brought Bardock to the planet where the other fleeing Saiyans were gathered. A few seconds later, Laiya arrived on the planet with Gine.
Bardock and Gine were safe, but Frieza's energy wave had turned Planet Vegeta into fireworks.
The moment Bardock and Gine were rescued, the system's reward arrived.
System: The reward has been distributed. Please accept it.
Gaino thought, Accept the reward.
A strange sensation entered his body. Gaino knew he had acquired Divine Instant Transmission.
With a single thought, Gaino appeared on Earth. With another, he went to Namek, then Yardrat, and then reappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone had been wondering where Gaino had gone. Before long, he had suddenly appeared in front of them again.
Watching Gaino vanish and reappear, everyone found his technique fascinating. But it couldn't be learned; it was a divine skill.
The moment Gaino appeared, Bardock came over and said to him, "You clearly had the power to save Planet Vegeta. Why did you just stand by and watch?"
Gaino was extremely displeased with Bardock's attitude. Even though Bardock was the father of the child of destiny, in the Dragon Ball world, the strong were the ones who had the right to speak. Clearly, Bardock wasn't strong enough for that yet.
Gaino said, "Bardock, I'm only being this polite because you were my parents' comrade. If anyone else spoke to me like that, they'd have vanished from my sight by now."
"Besides, I think charging ahead when you know you can't win is foolish."
"You knew perfectly well that all the Saiyans together were no match for Frieza, yet you still insisted on fighting him head-on. Do you think that's bravery?"
"No, it's foolishness. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope. As long as we Saiyans survive, we'll have a chance to take revenge."
"Besides, do you know that the God of Destruction was behind Planet Vegeta's destruction? Frieza feared us Saiyans, so he took advantage of this opportunity to destroy the planet."
"King Vegeta offended the God of Destruction. Do you think anyone can just defy a god's will? Even Frieza has to crawl like a dog in front of the God of Destruction. Do you think I'm strong enough to fight one?"
"The God of Destruction? What's that?"
Laiya said, "The God of Destruction is the most powerful deity in this universe. Frieza's strong, right? The God of Destruction could destroy him with a single finger."
Gaino said, "The only reason I was able to bring so many Saiyans away this time was that the God of Destruction showed us mercy. Otherwise, how do you think we'd all still be standing here?"
"So don't use your ignorance to make yourself seem so noble. I'm telling you, the universe is vast, and there are many powerful fighters. We're still very weak, so all we can do is preserve our strength."
Bardock was left speechless by Gaino's words. Gine stepped forward and said, "Bardock, Gaino was only trying to save us. If not for him, Frieza's energy blast would have destroyed us both."
Bum said, "That's right! Now's not the time to dwell on this. Where should all of us settle?"
Gaino said, "Stay on this planet for a while. Laiya and I will look through the other star systems for a planet suitable for Saiyans to live on."
"Good, good. Go search for one. We'll stay here for now," Bum said.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Gaino picked up Laiya and used the divine technique, Instant Transmission. They arrived on a planet. Looking around, Gaino said, "There's too little oxygen. It isn't suitable for Saiyans."
"Mm." Laiya nodded in agreement.
Gaino went to another planet, but he wasn't satisfied with that one either. He continued searching from planet to planet for a suitable place to live.
One day, they arrived on a planet with plenty of oxygen, lush greenery, and dense forests. Wasn't this the ideal home?
"Laiya, let's settle here. I think this planet is great." Laiya looked at the green planet and was very pleased with it too.
"Then we'll take this planet!" Just then, a native came out and said to Gaino and the others, "Who are you? What are you doing on our Planet Tuffle?"
"So this is Planet Tuffle? Then you're a Tuffle, right?" Gaino looked at the Tuffle before him, who was even shorter than he was.
"That's right. This is our planet. Please leave," the Tuffle said.
