"Difference? You are talking about difference when your power level is less than 4000?!" Salari didn't hesitate and threw a punch at close range.
This scene left Nappa dumbfounded, and even Raditz and Vegeta, who were watching from a distance, were stunned.
Boom!!!
With a thunderous explosion, Nappa was sent flying, crashing through several piles of rubble before finally coming to a stop.
Even though Salari didn't use much of her strength, it was enough to make Nappa suffer.
"Idiot," Talot remarked critically before turning his attention to Raditz.
"Raditz, this time, we came here specifically to find you. I imagine following Vegeta and Nappa hasn't been easy for you, has it? Come with us. Aunt Gine is waiting for you too."
Hearing this, Raditz became even more excited: "Are you saying... my mother is still alive?! And you came here just to find me?!"
At this moment, his mind was in chaos, overwhelmed by a strange mix of feelings.
After Planet Vegeta's explosion, he thought he was completely alone.
But now, not only were Talot and Salari alive, even his mother was alive.
A life that had been shrouded in darkness was suddenly illuminated by light, pulling him out of the abyss.
"In addition to Aunt Gine, your brother Kakarot is also alive. So, will you come with us, or do you want to stay here and keep suffering?" Talot asked again.
He needed Raditz's consent before taking him away. Forcing him wouldn't mean anything.
"I'll go with you... but Prince Vegeta won't agree…" Raditz replied hesitantly, signaling Talot and Salari to look at Vegeta.
The fact that Salari could send Nappa flying with a single punch had indeed shocked Raditz.
But the disparity between Nappa and Vegeta was huge.
A power level of 4000 compared to one exceeding 10,000 — the difference was too significant.
"I remember now. You're the one Raditz mentioned to me before. He invited you to join my squad, but you refused. Upper-class warrior, Talot."
As the situation became increasingly intriguing, Vegeta approached, speaking with a smirk.
Nappa might be a fool, but Vegeta was not.
It was evident that both Salari and Talot had impressive power levels, and the scouters likely hadn't captured their full strength.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met, Vegeta," Talot said with a smile, locking eyes with him.
"As an upper-class warrior, it seems you've forgotten your place. Do you think that just because Planet Vegeta was destroyed and only a few Saiyans remain, you no longer need to show respect to the royal family? Or shall I help you remember?" Vegeta spoke with extreme arrogance.
As Vegeta's words fell, the atmosphere grew increasingly stifling.
As the prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta had always believed that all Saiyans should obey his commands.
Especially in the current situation, where he considered himself the highest-ranking Saiyan leader!
If it weren't for the threat of Frieza, he would have long declared himself king rather than continuing to call himself a prince.
"Oh? I'm quite curious to see how you plan to help me remember," Talot said, a hint of mockery flashing across his face.
He crossed his arms, his indifferent expression openly revealing his disdain for Vegeta.
"Talot…" Raditz, standing to the side, was filled with worry, wanting to intervene but unsure what to do.
"Hmph! I've given you a chance, but you chose not to value it! Before I teach an insolent subordinate like you a lesson, let me remind you—my power level is 12,000!" Vegeta boasted, pride radiating from his tone.
"12,000?" Salari couldn't help but chuckle. "Haha!"
"What are you laughing at?!" Vegeta's brows furrowed, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
If not for the fact that Salari was the only female Saiyan left, he would have already attacked her.
"I'm laughing at your ignorance, of course. Power level of 12,000—do you think that's impressive? And you have the nerve to brag about it? Honestly, it's embarrassing—for a so-called prince," Salari mocked from the sidelines.
"There's no need to waste words on a fallen Saiyan prince. Let him live in his own little world. Otherwise, I fear the disparity will be too great for him to accept, and he might go mad." Vegeta spoke rudely, and Talot was not one to be easily bullied.
In terms of verbal sparring, Talot won't give Vegeta any quarter, especially since Vegeta is actively asking for it.
These words completely enraged Vegeta.
"You two… do you want to die?!!!" Furious, Vegeta's energy exploded violently, his powerful aura crashing toward Talot and Salari.
"Wait! Don't—!" Raditz sensed that something bad was going to happen and tried to intervene, but his words were soon cut off as he was completely suppressed by Vegeta's overwhelming aura.
Vegeta was truly enraged this time.
However, in the very next second, the worried Raditz witnessed something that completely shattered his worldview.
Not only were Talot and Salari entirely unfazed, but they showed no fear at all towards Veget's power.
"How disappointing. Is this level of pressure supposed to intimidate us?"
"It seems you don't realize just how strong we are. Since that's the case, let us give you a little demonstration. Use your scouter and take a good look at our power levels!"
Salari and Talot decided to leave Vegeta with an unforgettable lesson.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
As Talot and Salari unleashed their energy, Vegeta's scouter immediately began emitting frantic alarm sounds.
In Vegeta's view, the numbers on the scouter's display were rapidly climbing.
Talot and Salari's power level was increasing at an incredible speed.
In just the blink of an eye, it surpassed 10,000—and it was still rising.
"What?! How is this possible?!!" Vegeta was utterly shocked by what he was witnessing.
Staring at the numbers on the scouter, which were skyrocketing without end, and feeling the overwhelming, invisible pressure emanating from the two, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Power levels could be controlled?
"Impossible!! Even if you're an upper-class warrior, you shouldn't be this strong! And her—she's just a low-class warrior! How could she possibly have such a high power level?!" Vegeta refused to believe what he was seeing.
His understanding of reality had been completely overturned. Through the scouter, he saw Talot's power level surpassing 15,000—and still rising. It was the same for Salari.
Their power level had completely surpassed his, the elite Saiyan prince.
However, Talot and Salari paid no attention to his emotions, their faces revealing faint smiles as they quietly watched his expression.
Raditz, meanwhile, was dumbstruck. The terrifying aura emanating from Talot and Salari was beyond imagination, so far beyond his own that it completely overshadowed Vegeta's suppression of him.
[Talot, Salari… What happened to you two? How did you become this powerful?] Raditz's mind was in turmoil.
In the nearly three years since Planet Vegeta's explosion, what had they experienced? How had their power levels increased to such terrifying heights?
After all, even his father Bardock had only just surpassed 10,000 back then.
Raditz struggled to suppress his chaotic emotions.
…..
Under Talot's imposing aura, Vegeta's face turned ashen, beads of sweat forming densely on his forehead.
He felt an unprecedented pressure weighing down on him.
He was unwilling. He was furious!
Even if the Saiyan race had fallen, he was still the prince of the Saiyans!
He was the prince!!
Of noble status, carrying the royal bloodline of the highest class.
And now, he was being suppressed by an ordinary upper-class warrior and a low-class warrior...
Unforgivable!! Absolutely unforgivable!!
"Don't think that this prince will let you suppress me so easily!" Vegeta gritted his teeth, his aura beginning to rise steadily.
A terrifying energy surged from his body like a raging torrent, and at that moment, his power level began to increase as well.
