Time flew by.
Half a year had passed since the end of Goku and Vegeta’s fated battle.
During these six months, everything returned to peace. The Earth of this world suffered no invasions from external enemies, and everything developed quietly and orderly.
After this period of consolidation, Talot finally recovered from his injuries and refined all of the residual power of space-time within his body. His strength had essentially returned to its peak state.
No! It would be more accurate to say that he had surpassed his peak state!
After completely digesting the residual power of space-time within him, his physical strength and power had both broken through their limits.
His base form’s power level had already reached an astonishing magnitude—the realm of the Seventh Dimension!
However, numbers were not the true measure of a person’s strength. Talot’s power could not be simply quantified with numbers.
If he combined it with the laws he currently knows and unleashed everything at once, his power could even touch the true level of a God of Destruction!
As for the others in this world who had been influenced by him, they too had undergone considerable changes over these six months.
Not only had the three Saiyans—Goku, Son Gohan, and Vegeta—mastered the era-transcending transformation of Super Saiyan 3 under his guidance, but after making wishes to Earth’s Shenron, they had also regrown their tails and begun aiming for the even higher level of Super Saiyan 4.
In an era where Majin Buu had not even hatched yet, they had already reached Super Saiyan 3 and were preparing to challenge Super Saiyan 4. Even if powerful opponents appeared in the future, they likely would not last more than a few exchanges against them.
Moreover, aside from these three strongest Saiyans, Piccolo, whom Talot had previously suggested train on Namek, also returned during these six months.
After becoming whole once more, he displayed astonishing talent on Namek.
He had already mastered the power of the Dragon God and greatly increased his strength because of it!
However, compared to Goku and Vegeta, who had mastered Super Saiyan 3, he was still slightly inferior.
Talot had met with him a few days ago and learned that Piccolo would likely enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber soon.
When he emerged, his strength might rival that of Goku and Vegeta.
During these six months, Talot did far more than simply recover his strength.
He also traveled to Namek and used the Dragon Balls there to upgrade his personal storage’s pocket dimension.
With the help of Eternal Dragon Porunga, the storage capacity of his pocket dimension not only doubled, but a life-supporting planet roughly the size of the moon also appeared within it.
As long as Talot wished, he could directly bring others into his storage pocket dimension.
Upgrading the storage pocket dimension was also part of Talot’s preparations for departure.
He made a trip to Future Trunks’ timeline and met Future Trunks and Future Bulma.
After a series of in-depth discussions, Talot brought Future Trunks and Future Bulma to this past timeline.
The reason was that the world they lived in was already incomplete and without hope. Rather than remain in that shattered future, it was better to return to the present of the past and begin life anew, where their family and friends were still alive.
At first, Future Trunks found it difficult to accept. But after Future Bulma agreed to live in the past era, Future Trunks stopped objecting.
The past era was indeed far more peaceful than the future timeline, and everyone was here, especially his father.
At the time, Talot could tell that Bulma was reluctant as well, but for Trunks’ sake, she agreed.
She also knew that Trunks would respect her decision, so she accepted the proposal.
After Future Trunks and Future Bulma returned to this world, Talot naturally did not forget to use Shenron to wish for Future Bulma’s youth to be restored.
That wish was the second wish made after Goku and Vegeta wished for their Saiyan tails to be restored.
With everything prepared, Talot’s plan officially began.
He was going to bring the Bulma of this timeline and Android 18 back to his own timeline.
Android 18 too?
That’s right!
Men always make mistakes. During these six months together, their relationship had naturally become official, leaving Talot unsure of how he was supposed to explain things after returning.
But now that things had come this far, there was no other choice.
After learning of this news, the people of this timeline held a farewell banquet.
Following the banquet, Talot used the power of space-time to open a space-time tunnel.
Bulma was still reluctant to leave. After all, she belonged to this timeline, and once she left, who knew when she would be able to return?
“Don’t worry. You’ll have opportunities to come back in the future. The timelines may be different, but the people are similar,” Talot said.
“Mm! Actually, I already have a new idea. Recently, Future Me and I have been researching a space-time communication device together. Maybe after arriving in your timeline, I can work with that timeline’s version of myself and develop a machine that transcends eras. At that point, not only direct transportation might become possible, but perhaps we could even construct bridges directly linking one timeline to another…” Bulma’s bold vision was beyond Talot’s imagination.
As expected of Bulma.
