To make Trunks understand the concept of timelines in the simplest way possible.
Talot did not get angry because of Trunks’s outburst and insults.
However, the more patiently he tried to reason with him, the worse the effect became.
“No! I absolutely refuse to accept this!! From the very beginning, you were deliberately making up lies!!!” Future Trunks stubbornly persisted.
He could not accept this cruel reality. It was not just what Talot said that he could not accept, but Talot’s entire timeline itself.
Resentment also began to grow in his heart. Why was his own timeline destined for such a tragic development?
“Forget it. There’s no point talking to you further. You need to calm down properly and get some sleep. Maybe after you wake up, you’ll have a different perspective.” As the words left his mouth, a sharp gleam flashed through Talot’s eyes.
Actually, the reason Talot had explained things to this extent was because Bulma had been holding onto his hand the entire time.
She was probably afraid that he would make a move.
That was why he had patiently spoken several more sentences to Trunks, hoping to guide him through words.
At the end of the day, if he himself could accept him, then what right did he have to doubt him?
In an instant, an invisible force burst forth from Talot as the center.
In just that moment, everyone present felt their minds tremble.
That invisible force swept across their bodies and struck at their souls, especially Trunks.
A loud ‘BANG~~!!!’ echoed through space.
In the blink of an eye, Future Trunks was struck directly in the chest by the invisible force.
In that instant, Trunks’s eyes rolled white, a mouthful of bitter fluid sprayed from his mouth, and his entire body lost control as he was blasted off the second-floor terrace.
With just one attack, Trunks completely lost consciousness and fainted.
The sudden development plunged everyone present into silence.
Having witnessed Talot’s strength before, everyone knew that even if Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan, there was no way he could block that attack from Talot.
No one tried to stop Talot from acting either. Setting aside whether they even had the strength to interfere, Trunks truly had gone berserk. If he was not calmed down, everything here might have been destroyed.
Vegeta felt somewhat disappointed in this cheap son of his from the future timeline.
In the end, his mentality simply was not mature enough.
In Vegeta’s eyes, this lesson was actually a good thing for Trunks. He only hoped that this setback would make the kid wake up to reality.
After all, the truth was already obvious enough. This timeline wasn’t the past world he was familiar with.
Piccolo shook his head helplessly.
The moment Trunks lost control, he had already anticipated this outcome.
Using Ki Sense to roughly confirm that Future Trunks was unharmed, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
After all, the kid was a good child and could also be considered one of their juniors.
“Trunks… he’ll be alright, right?” Son Gohan quietly asked.
Looking at Future Trunks lying unconscious on the ground in the distance, he was still extremely worried.
“Wasn’t that a little too much? Actually… he wasn’t wrong either…” Bulma of this world felt terrible inside. Her mind was in complete chaos right now. Looking at the unconscious Future Trunks, she finally let out a sigh.
Even though she and the Vegeta of this world had no relationship whatsoever and had never given birth to Trunks, Future Trunks was indeed still, in a sense, her son.
Talot slightly shook his head and looked at Bulma.
“Arrange a room for him and let him sleep properly. I only made him lose consciousness temporarily. Once he wakes up, he should understand a few things.”
“Alright.” Bulma nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
A short while later, under her instructions, the servants carried the unconscious Trunks into a guest room.
After Future Trunks was taken away, Talot simply used this opportunity to fully explain the situation of his own timeline.
Of course, by “fully explain,” he meant the circumstances of his timeline—for example, Earth’s development because of his existence, the fact that Raditz and Nappa were both still alive and had settled on Earth, and finally the various differences involving everyone else.
After hearing about the events that had occurred in Talot’s timeline, everyone present revealed expressions of disbelief.
The differences between separate timelines could actually be this enormous?
The reason they had so readily accepted Future Trunks’s world was because it came from twenty years in the future.
But after hearing about Talot’s timeline, it naturally sounded unbelievable.
Most importantly, Raditz and Nappa were actually still alive, and both had even mastered the Super Saiyan transformation.
When Vegeta learned that the Vegeta of another timeline had completely surpassed Kakarot in terms of power after mastering Super Saiyan, he became incomparably excited.
Most importantly, in Talot’s timeline, he had already broken through Super Saiyan 2 long ago.
For him, this was tremendous news and also the greatest encouragement possible!
In other words, the future him could completely crush Kakarot.
What he did not know was that for the Vegeta of this timeline to completely surpass Kakarot would be extremely, extremely difficult.
Unless he received guidance from Talot and advanced by leaps and bounds afterward.
In other words, the reason Vegeta from Talot’s timeline could suppress Kakarot entirely was because Vegeta was much older than Kakarot, and because Talot awakened early, stabilizing his position and strength in advance.
After talking for a long time, the conversation finally came to an end.
Because he needed to return to Mount Paozu to confirm his father’s condition, Son Gohan had long since become anxious to leave.
Since he was going back anyway, Talot also happened to be very interested in the Kakarot of this timeline.
For him, it was only an instant’s matter.
Son Gohan did not refuse Talot’s initiative to accompany him, and the others neither stopped them nor thought much about it.
None of the people present even tried to tag along and cause trouble.
Using the power of space, Talot activated Instant Transmission and disappeared from the spot together with Son Gohan, heading for Mount Paozu.
After the two left, everyone present made their own decisions.
With Talot around earlier, they had not known what choice to make for the time being, but now they had time to think.
Krillin and Tien Shinhan decided to stay here and try training with the Gravity Chamber Bulma had built.
Talot had given them guidance regarding martial arts level and had also taught them several training methods.
They were actually impatient to verify them.
Piccolo, on the other hand, immediately departed without looking back, leaving West City and heading toward Lookout.
Everyone knew what Piccolo intended to do.
No one stopped him either, because this was a matter between Piccolo and Kami.
Vegeta also left.
After learning more things from Talot, he now wanted to hurry and train so he could achieve another breakthrough.
As for Future Trunks, he did not care in the slightest.
After the brat woke up, he would have to figure things out himself. If he still could not understand, then he would just receive a proper lesson.
After all, he truly was the son of another timeline’s him…
