Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, more than a day passed quietly.
During those two days, nothing particularly noteworthy happened. If there was one thing worth mentioning, it was that Future Trunks had been sent back to his future timeline by Talot using the power of space-time.
The reason he left in such a hurry was partly because he was worried about Bulma in the future timeline, and partly because Future Trunks believed that he was an outsider who did not belong to this timeline.
Remaining in this world was not appropriate.
Because of Future Trunks’ departure, Talot spent the past two days accompanying Bulma on shopping trips and outings. During that time, Android 18 was brought along as well, or rather, it was Bulma who brought 18 along.
Talot had personally experienced just how terrifying it was when two women went shopping together.
Fortunately, having accompanied the Bulma and Salari from his own timeline before, his tolerance was quite high. While flirting and bantering with Bulma, he would occasionally tease 18 as well.
It had to be said that 18 was really easy to fluster.
After finishing their shopping, he returned home with Bulma and 18.
The moment they arrived home, two immensely powerful auras erupted from the distant horizon.
Without a doubt, Goku and Son Gohan had emerged.
At the same time, in another remote region of Earth.
Vegeta, who had been immersed in a state of contemplation, stopped his training and looked up at the sky.
“You’ve finally come out. That aura was worth waiting so long for, Kakarot.” After speaking, Vegeta’s spirit surged with excitement as his aura erupted and he shot directly toward the Lookout.
Naturally, Talot sensed Vegeta’s aura as well. There was no need to think about what he was planning by rushing straight toward the Lookout.
A good show was about to begin, and Talot intended to watch it. Missing it would be a real shame.
With the thought in mind, Talot moved with a single intention and instantly arrived at the Lookout.
…
The Lookout.
Goku and Son Gohan, who had just emerged, were changing clothes with Popo’s assistance.
After one year and four months of high-intensity training, even though Popo had deliberately prepared plenty of spare clothing for them, most of it had been worn out.
Following such a long period of brutal training, both Son Gohan and Goku had undergone tremendous changes.
The one who had changed the most was naturally Son Gohan, as he had genuinely grown much taller.
As for his strength, he had not only mastered Super Saiyan 1 and 2 transformation, but had also become extremely proficient with them. At the moment, he was maintaining Super Saiyan Full Power as naturally as breathing.
His level of control even surpassed Vegeta’s when Vegeta had first emerged.
As for Goku, his improvement was undoubtedly enormous as well. In particular, before entering training, he had been inspired by Talot’s transformations and stimulated by Vegeta’s progress, causing him to continuously push beyond his own limits throughout the past year.
Judging purely from his base form’s power level, he was no weaker than Vegeta.
As for transformations, there was no doubt he would not be inferior to his son.
Soon, the father and son changed into fresh martial arts uniforms. After relaxing for a bit, they were about to enjoy the food Popo had prepared.
Suddenly—
Bzzzz~!!!
Ripples spread through space.
Talot stepped through space and appeared before them.
“Talot…”
“Uncle Talot!”
Upon seeing Talot arrive, Goku and Son Gohan greeted him simultaneously.
“It seems your training has gone very well.” Talot’s gaze swept over the two of them.
Without question, both Goku and Son Gohan had already mastered the Super Saiyan 2 transformation, and their strength could be judged from their auras.
Although Son Gohan’s base form’s power level had not yet reached 2 billion, it was not far off.
As for Goku, his base form’s power level was probably on par with Vegeta’s, both exceeding 2 billion.
“Haha, not bad, I guess. Compared to you, Gohan and I still have a long way to go,” Goku said modestly.
The moment he finished speaking, his expression froze and became serious.
In his Ki Sense, Vegeta’s Ki was approaching at incredible speed.
“Vegeta really did come after all.” After confirming it was Vegeta’s aura, Goku had already guessed the man’s purpose.
Coincidentally, he was feeling a bit restless himself. Although his training with Gohan inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber had been serious, Gohan was still his son, making it difficult for him to fight without restraint.
Vegeta was different..They were arch rivals. He could fight with absolutely no reservations against Vegeta; otherwise, the unlucky one would end up being himself.
Vegeta wasn’t the type to hold back for anyone.
Talot said nothing and simply stood there quietly.
To be honest, compared to Vegeta, Goku’s behavior had genuinely surprised Talot.
Originally, he had expected Goku to challenge him immediately, just as Vegeta had done two days earlier.
Unexpectedly, Goku was so calm that he didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting him at all.
Perhaps Goku understood just how large the gap between them was. Rather than fighting Talot, facing Vegeta was a much more realistic option.
…
Not long afterward, beneath the Lookout, a white aura shot straight into the sky before landing steadily upon the platform of the Lookout.
