"Raditz, Salari and Prince Vegeta, you've all grown up." Bardock's gaze swept over the three of them as he said with emotion.
"Yeah, Dad, after all, it's been so many years," Raditz replied matter-of-factly, hands on his hips.
Looking at his eldest son, Bardock revealed a gratified smile.
While looking at Raditz, he was also sensing his strength.
The current Raditz was already far from what he had been ten years ago.
Ten years ago, he was the strongest aside from Talot, and ten years later, he still was.
"I never expected we'd meet again in this way," Vegeta also expressed his feelings.
His tone was very calm. As a Saiyan prince, he was not unfamiliar with Bardock.
Bardock's sensing was interrupted, and he nodded toward Vegeta. "I've already learned the details of the situation here from Talot. Being able to return is thanks to him."
As he spoke, Bardock's expression slightly changed, and he raised his head to look up at the sky.
At this moment, what was Talot's situation?
Everyone's gaze followed his, looking up into the sky.
"Speaking of which, where's Talot, Bardock?" Nappa asked somewhat simply.
Bardock had returned, so what about Talot?!
"Uncle Bardock, where is Brother Talot now? He didn't come back?" Salari tried her best to control her emotions as she asked.
"The situation is complicated. Let me start from the beginning." Bardock shook his head, then without hiding anything, told them about how he and Talot had been traveling through the spacetime tunnel and suddenly encountered a spacetime storm.
Talot sent him back first and faced the spacetime storm alone.
"How could… this happen…" Hearing this, Salari lost control of her emotions a bit.
Bardock's return made her very happy, but if it came at the cost of Talot, she couldn't accept it.
According to Whis, traveling through time was far more dangerous than she had imagined.
"Although I don't know how Talot will deal with the spacetime storm, I believe he'll be fine! That kid has mastered the power of space-time and is no longer ordinarily strong. The spacetime storm can't do anything to him. It's just that because of the difference in the flow of time, his return will probably be later than mine," Bardock said.
That was all he could say, otherwise, he would feel even more uneasy.
Aside from choosing to believe, there was only belief.
…
On this side, Bardock had escaped danger and returned to this timeline.
But due to some accidents, the time he returned to had become ten years after Talot left.
The world of the alternate timeline where Talot was.
At this moment, Talot had just finished sighing when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
"This aura is… Kakarot? It seems that in an emergency, the place I crossed time to is also Earth."
As he spoke, Talot turned his gaze toward the source of the aura. In an area more than a dozen kilometers away, a fierce battle was taking place.
Although the aura's intensity was only average to him, it had at least reached the level of hundred million.
Using Instant Transmission, Talot did not hesitate in the slightest and chose to cross space to take a look.
He did not directly appear in front of the people of this timeline, but instead arrived at the edge of a hidden pile of rocks.
From there, he saw quite a few familiar faces.
The Z Fighters had gathered together.
Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Son Gohan, and Vegeta, who was hidden in the shadows without revealing himself.
"That guy in the sky is… Android 19?!" Talot gazed at the battle in the sky, and long-sealed memories in his mind were awakened.
There was no mistake. This fat guy was Android 19, who in the original work barely defeated Goku weakened by the viral heart disease, and was later brutally killed by Vegeta.
On the other side, there was also No. 20, Dr. Gero, who had transformed himself into a living Android.
As a mad scientist, a weak human body could no longer satisfy his needs, so he abandoned his frail original body, turned himself into an Android, and obtained powerful strength.
Returning to his thoughts, Talot continued to watch the battle between Goku and Android 19 in the sky.
Because the battle was too intense, and due to the enormous burden that the Super Saiyan transformation placed on his body, Goku's viral heart disease completely erupted.
At this moment, Goku was already at the end of his strength and was being completely crushed by Android 19.
Until in the end, his energy was absorbed, and his Super Saiyan state was completely undone as well.
If it continued, Goku would be killed by Android 19.
Outside the battlefield, the Z Fighters wanted to rescue Goku, but Android 20 would not let them have their way.
Having witnessed the powerful strength of Android 19, everyone present assumed that Android 20 in front of them possessed even greater strength, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Little did they know that this old man, half buried in the grave, even though he had gained some power, was nothing more than a paper tiger.
If Piccolo had realized it earlier, he could have taken care of this old man within just a few moves.
Just as Goku was continuously having his energy absorbed by Android 19 and his life was hanging by a thread, Vegeta, who had been hiding in the shadows, could no longer stand it. Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly burst out and, with a charged kick, sent Android 19 flying.
His sudden intervention caught everyone except Talot off guard.
No one had noticed that Vegeta had been watching the battle in secret.
After successfully saving Goku, Vegeta looked down at the dying Goku beneath his feet with cold arrogance.
"Your heart disease has already flared up, yet you're still forcing yourself to fight. You've completely disgraced the name of Super Saiyan, Kakarot." Vegeta said expressionlessly, then with a charged kick, directly sent Goku flying toward the Z Fighters.
"Hmph! Vegeta, is it? Since you're also going to interfere, I'll let you know that opposing me will be the most regrettable decision of your life. All your data has already been recorded in my database, including all of your techniques!" After taking Vegeta's kick, Android 19 stood up and said coldly.
As he spoke, he also fiddled with the earring on his ear.
He would never know that what awaited him next would be torment even more cruel than hell.
"I see. So the data from when I fought Kakarot on Earth has been recorded by you. However, that kind of data is already outdated." Vegeta sneered with disdain.
He was no longer the same Vegeta from back then. Now, he had the confidence to defeat any opponent in this world.
"Hmph… Those who boast never end well. In a moment, I'll let you understand what despair truly is!!" Android 19 sneered.
