Hearing Talot’s words, Grand Supreme Kai pondered solemnly for a moment, then nodded.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, yet from the surface alone, it was impossible to discern what he was truly thinking.
This was Grand Supreme Kai, unfathomable.
Of course, Talot would not pry further.
“For the time being, you can stay in the Sacred World of the Kai to recover without worry. We will help search for the Saiyan named Bardock. At the same time, I can assist you in refining that portion of space-time energy left behind from the temporal invasion,” said Grand Supreme Kai. His breadth of vision was far beyond what the four Supreme Kai could compare to.
“Then I truly thank you,” Talot expressed his gratitude sincerely.
“The ones who should be giving thanks are us. If not for your arrival, we Supreme Kai would all have died because of Majin Buu.
“As for your residence in the Sacred World of the Kai, leave it to Lila to arrange.”
Grand Supreme Kai spoke earnestly.
“Yes, Lord Grand Supreme Kai.”
Upon hearing Grand Supreme Kai’s words, Lila felt a slight tremor in her mind, unsure whether it was joy or concern.
With matters settled, Grand Supreme Kai turned to the East, South, and North Supreme Kai and said, “Since everyone is present, there is no need for me to assign tasks individually. From now on, we will devote our full efforts to searching for Bardock.”
“Yes, Lord Grand Supreme Kai.” The three Supreme Kai could not disobey Grand Supreme Kai. Though there was a trace of hesitation and displeasure in their hearts, they still had to carry out the orders.
……
Just like that, time passed swiftly.
Before they knew it, a month had quietly gone by.
During this period, Talot remained in the Sacred World of the Kai. Under Grand Supreme Kai’s guidance, he gradually wore down and refined the residual power of space-time within his body—the combined force of space and time.
It had to be said that Grand Supreme Kai’s guidance benefited Talot immensely.
Not only did he help him digest that portion of space-time power, but he also corrected Talot’s mistakes in his God Ki training. He even taught him many methods of utilizing divine power, raising his mastery of God Ki to an even higher level.
In the span of one month, Talot’s strength could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
His base power level had already exceeded 3 billion, and now, after a tremendous surge, it had reached the height of 10 billion.
An increase of more than threefold!
Along with the rise in his base power level, his transformations of Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan 4 also improved.
To put it plainly, he was now only one step away from achieving an even higher-level transformation.
However, to complete such a breakthrough, ordinary training would no longer suffice. Unless he faced immense pressure from external forces, he would not be able to push himself further.
At this moment, Talot and Lila were at the spring beside the sealed Z Sword in the Sacred World of the Kai.
Gazing at the Z Sword above, radiating a dazzling light, Lila suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned to Talot. “Since you come from five million years in the future, you must have heard the legend of the Z Sword, right?”
Hearing this, Talot, who had been contemplating how to advance further, suddenly thought of the Old Supreme Kai and replied, “Naturally. The legend says that whoever pulls out this sword can obtain the strongest power in the universe. In the future—”
Before he could finish, Lila impatiently interrupted him. It was clear that after a month of getting along, she had grown especially satisfied with Talot, even going out of her way to grow closer and deepen their relationship.
“Then in the future, did you pull out the Z Sword?” Lila now looked like a curious child.
Talot smiled lightly and nodded. “Just as you imagine, I did indeed pull out the Z Sword. But don’t get the wrong idea, my power doesn’t have much to do with pulling out the Z Sword. At most, I borrowed the Old Supreme Kai inside the Z Sword to unlock my potential, helping me raise my strength a little.”
Talot’s words left Lila somewhat puzzled.
The Old Supreme Kai inside the Z Sword?
Unlocking potential?
“Wait, you mean the legend is false? There’s a Supreme Kai living inside the Z Sword?” Lila asked in shock.
“Yes. Judging by seniority, he should be a Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago,” Talot explained.
“Ho… how many? Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago?!” Lila’s eyes widened dramatically, as if she had been struck by lightning.
For a moment, she felt as though she had fallen into an abyss. Her mind was filled with the realization that not only was the legend false, but instead, an ancient ancestor was living inside the sword.
“So the reason we can’t pull out the Z Sword, is it because that ancestor doesn’t think much of us? Or is it…” Lila said with a hint of self-mockery.
She was usually lively and cheerful, but at critical moments, she was prone to becoming emotional.
“You’re overthinking it. That Old Supreme Kai was merely sealed inside the Z Sword. As for why that seal exists, once I release him, it would be more appropriate for you to ask him yourselves,” Talot said. With that thought, he became somewhat eager to try.
After all, this timeline had already changed. Releasing the Old Supreme Kai would not matter.
“You’re going to pull out the Z Sword of our timeline?” Lila asked in astonishment.
“Originally, I didn’t pay much attention to this sword. But after your reminder, I suddenly became interested, whether there’s a difference in strength between the Z Sword’s seal five million years ago and the one five million years later.” Growing intrigued, Talot leaped into the air and flew toward the Z Sword’s seal.
Lila hurriedly followed. How could she stand by and ignore something like this?
At the same time, because of Talot’s actions, East Supreme Kai, South Supreme Kai, and North Supreme Kai, who happened to be nearby, grew serious.
“That place is… the location of the Z Sword? Sister Lila brought that Saiyan over there,” East Supreme Kai Shin said as he gazed into the distance.
“Hmph! That guy isn’t planning to try pulling out the Z Sword, is he? Even I couldn’t budge that sword in the slightest. Sure, he defeated Majin Buu, but with that small body of his… tsk tsk~! Unlikely,” South Supreme Kai said arrogantly, clearly not optimistic about Talot.
Even though the other party was indeed strong and came from the future, he didn’t believe that a sword none of the Supreme Kai of past generations could pull out would be pulled out by this man.
“That’s not necessarily true. Since he’s from the future, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of the Z Sword. Perhaps he really might be able to pull it out,” North Supreme Kai said, unlike South Supreme Kai’s disdain. He was rather optimistic about Talot.
Over the past month, his impression of Talot had greatly improved. At the very least, he saw that Talot was powerful yet definitely not difficult to get along with.
“Old North, you really think this kid can pull out the Z Sword?” South Supreme Kai asked in surprise.
This was a divine sword that even the four Supreme Kai working together could not pull out!
And Talot alone?
“I rather hope he can pull it out. It would let us see whether the legend is true or false. Even if he fails, we lose nothing, don’t we?” North Supreme Kai stroked his beard and chuckled.
“That’s true. Then let’s see whether this kid can really pull out the Z Sword. If he can so much as shake it even a little, I’ll admit defeat,” South Supreme Kai said with a grin, crossing his arms and wearing an arrogant expression.
At the same time, ripples appeared in the space behind the three Supreme Kai.
Grand Supreme Kai had returned.
“This is… he is trying to pull out the Z Sword?” Upon witnessing the scene after his return, Grand Supreme Kai immediately became interested.
In truth, as Grand Supreme Kai, he did possess the ability to pull out the Z Sword, but due to certain warnings, he could not take action.
Now that Talot had arrived, he could conveniently accomplish something for him.
His ancestor had been sealed for far too long.
It was time for him to come out and stretch a bit.
