After making a promise to Bardock, Talot stopped wasting time and immediately mobilized the power of space-time within his body, forming a protective membrane that enveloped Bardock.
With the enhancement of the power of space-time, Bardock instantly dashed forward, heading straight toward the timeline they belonged to.
As for Talot, he turned around and charged head-on into the terrifying spacetime storm.
'BOOM~~~!!!!!' A shocking loud sound erupted.
The terrifying energy caused turbulence within the spacetime tunnel. Positioned at the very center of this massive spacetime storm, Talot unleashed surging Power of Destruction, intending to dismantle the colossal storm from the inside out.
"Shatter for me!!" Talot roared in fury.
Power of Destruction burst forth in full force, completely tearing apart the gigantic spacetime storm.
But as the massive spacetime storm was destroyed, the entire spacetime tunnel began to grow unstable.
'Crackle~~!!!'
Countless streaks of chilling lightning surged and burst forth. The surrounding spacetime barriers collapsed, and the entire spacetime tunnel began to crumble.
"This is bad! This spacetime tunnel… is about to collapse." Talot scanned his surroundings, searching for a direction to escape the danger.
Soon, within the chaotic spacetime tunnel, he found a relatively stable area.
He mobilized the small amount of power of space-time left within his body and reopened a brand-new spacetime passage for himself.
Once the newly opened spacetime passage stabilized, Talot entered it without the slightest hesitation.
And just as he stepped into this new passage, the tunnel that connected to his original timeline exploded violently, swallowed by boundless chaotic darkness.
...
The scene shifts.
In alternate timeline 101.
The current date in this timeline is May 12, Age 767.
On Earth, a major event was unfolding. After receiving the warning from the future boy, the Z Fighters learned in advance about the future developments and moved to intercept the Androids.
Android 19 vs Super Saiyan Goku.
The battle was underway.
Judging purely from the intensity of their energy, Goku in his Super Saiyan state far surpassed Android 19. Yet the battle remained deadlocked, which is puzzling.
A closer look revealed that Goku's breathing was growing increasingly rapid during the fight, and his aura was steadily declining.
For Goku, as the battle continued to heat up, a twisting pain occasionally struck his chest.
This is the precursor to the outbreak of the viral heart disease.
In this era, Goku's transformation into Super Saiyan accelerated the onset of the viral heart disease.
From this, it can be seen that this was the original work's timeline following the normal trajectory.
In this world, Talot does not exist.
Perhaps he once did, but he has already died.
At this moment, in the sky more than a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield, an imperceptible distortion suddenly occurred.
The twisted space formed into a pitch-black void. Within the void, arcs of lightning coiled and flickered, and immediately a figure shot out from the black hole, crashing toward the ground.
'BOOM!!!' A thunderous explosion sounds.
Dust billows, rubble flies, and a massive crater was smashed into the ground.
At the center of the crater, Talot knelt on one knee, his body eroded by violent spacetime currents, the state of Ultra Ego on the verge of dissipating.
"Huff… huff…" Having just broken free from the bombardment of the spacetime storm, Talot gasped heavily, trying his best to adjust his condition.
He had become a man covered in blood. Not only was his battle armor destroyed, but his body itself was torn and mangled.
"That damned spacetime storm… it was even more ruthless than I imagined…" Talot gritted his teeth, enduring the pain coursing through his body as he forced himself to stand steady.
He used the very last trace of Power of Destruction within his body to disperse all the power of space-time wrapped around his body.
After that, he took out a Senzu Bean from his storage space and stuffed it into his mouth.
As the Senzu Bean went down, powerful life energy surged through his entire body, and Talot's heavily injured body finally returned to normal.
However, although the wounds on the surface of his body had healed, the interior of his body was still being ravaged by the violent power of space-time.
If he had not already comprehended a portion of the power of space-time, this violent spacetime energy would likely have torn his body apart from the inside out long ago.
Refining all of this power of space-time was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
"Finally got out… Although I've caught my breath, my current strength isn't even one ten-thousandth of my peak. Is it because of this power of space-time?" Talot frowned as he sensed the riotous power of space-time within him, mobilizing the God Ki in his body to forcibly suppress it.
With the suppression of God Ki, the turbulent power of space-time inside him barely calmed down, and Talot was finally able to let out a long breath.
"I wonder how things are on Uncle Bardock's side? He should have safely arrived in our timeline, right?" Talot looked up at the sky and sighed heavily.
...
Meanwhile, in the main timeline.
It had already been a full ten years since Talot left this world.
During these ten years, the entire world had been relatively peaceful, and everything had already changed.
Ten years—neither long nor short—but compared to before Talot left, the changes were immense.
First of all, not long after Talot's departure, Son Gohan, without the nourishment of the Tree of Might's fruit, returned to Other World and died naturally.
His sudden death caught Goku and Gine off guard. Raditz and Launch, along with their son Turnip, were even more distressed.
Originally, they planned to use the dragon balls to revive Son Gohan, but when they summoned the Eternal Dragon, they learned that Son Gohan, who had died naturally, could not be revived. In the end, they could only accept it helplessly.
Natural death meant there was no cure, no way to bring him back.
However, although he had died, because of the merits of Talot and the others, King Yemma of Other World made a special exception and allowed him to retain his physical body. One could say that being dead was no different from being alive.
After Son Gohan's persuasion, the group finally accepted his death.
It was also because of this accident that Goku suddenly realized his newborn son was very fond of his grandfather's name. Thus, with his grandfather's consent, he named his son Son Gohan.
This happened not long after Talot had left Earth.
As for what followed, some overconfident aliens entered Earth again, but they were easily wiped out by the warriors.
All in all, Earth remained peaceful, and life was quite calm.
As for Talot's children, over these ten years they had grown into teenagers. However, having never seen their father, the siblings harbored resentment toward him.
Even with explanations from Salari and Bulma, it was useless.
Ten years had passed. Not only Talot's family, but everyone was hoping for his return.
For this reason, they had asked Whis more than once.
In response to their inquiries, Whis gave only one answer.
A journey through time is extremely perilous. Even as an Angel, he could not guarantee when Talot would return. But he could be certain of one thing. Talot was still alive.
Because the Angel mark he had left deep within Talot's soul had not yet been erased. As long as the mark remained, Talot was still alive, and there was no need to worry.
