Combat Power isn't something you can just boost at will.
Even though Talot, a seasoned Dragon Ball fan, knew all the plot twists of the original story and had a clear understanding of the future of this world, and even knew all the methods to become stronger, actually walking the path of cultivation to become stronger was a different matter altogether.
Talot couldn't help but sometimes envy the protagonists in novels who ended up in the Dragon Ball world. These people would either become Candidates for the God of Destruction or Intern Angels right from the start, and some even became close buddies with the Grand Minister.
Even if they didn't have such fortunate encounters, most of these protagonists had their own systems, like check-in rewards or combat power increasing by one point per second, and so on.
They could easily cheat their way through, doing nothing while their strength skyrocketed, making them invincible.
In comparison, he had nothing of the sort.
Reality had taught Talot a harsh lesson: not all transmigrators could start off by turning the tables and becoming incredibly powerful.
For someone like him, the only path was to work hard and develop steadily.
He consoled himself that it was a good thing he had transmigrated into a Saiyan and not some other race.
Otherwise, even if he managed to surpass his peers using various methods in the early stages of the plot, the Saiyans would still dominate in the later stages. No matter how talented or how high his realm, he couldn't withstand a Saiyan transformation.
Once a Saiyan transformed, there was nothing more dazzling in the world.
Talot calmed himself down and stopped thinking about these unrealistic scenarios.
He was already very content with what he had.
He wasn't the type to aim too high.
Five years...
No!
To be precise, it was less than four years.
Compared to the combat power of tens of millions, his strength was indeed negligible, but he wasn't a complete waste!
His Combat Power had increased from 200 to 990, a level that could already cause a stir, and the power he had gained through hard work made him feel solid and grounded.
"Next, I need to seriously consider how to leave Planet Vegeta reasonably. According to the news Raditz brought a few days ago, Vegeta will soon be leading an elite squad to conquer higher-level planets." Talot pondered, recalling the impending crisis.
If nothing went wrong, Planet Vegeta would be destroyed by Frieza in no more than half a year to a year.
Most of the Saiyans would be eliminated, leaving only a handful to serve as Frieza's playthings.
Concerning this crisis that directly threatened his life, Talot had once thought that if he were a lower-class warrior, he would be sent to some of the lowest-tier planets to invade, and he wouldn't need to worry as much.
However, every situation had its pros and cons. Of the many lower-class warrior infants sent out by the Saiyans each year, how many actually survived?
Someone as fortunate as Goku was a result of the protagonist's halo.
No matter what, the situation was what it was, and he needed to find other ways to break the deadlock.
With his current strength, he couldn't possibly face off against Frieza. After all, he couldn't even defeat Frieza's soldiers.
This wasn't an exaggeration but a fact based on his personal experiences.
Ever since Frieza took over from King Cold and renamed the army as the Frieza Army, Planet Vegeta had come under close scrutiny, and Frieza had stationed many elite soldiers on the planet.
They claimed it was to assist the Saiyans in managing planet affairs in case of emergencies, but in reality, it was to monitor every move of the Saiyans and serve as a deterrent.
Among these soldiers, the weakest had combat powers in the hundreds, the stronger ones had over a thousand, and some even had combat powers in the thousands.
So, let alone him, even an adult Saiyan might not be a match.
Even if his Combat Power meets the standard, strength is not just about numbers; it also involves combat experience, combat skills, and various other factors.
His thoughts drifted once again.
Right at this moment, a strange Ki sensation caught Talot's attention, making him stop in his tracks. For a moment, it felt as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and his hairs stood on end.
"What is this feeling...?" Talot's heart tightened, a sense of foreboding spreading in his mind.
Because of his Ki training, especially due to some issue with his training direction, his instincts had become increasingly sensitive to danger.
His body trembled involuntarily, a feeling he had only experienced in the presence of Frieza and Dodoria.
Talot quickly shifted his gaze and looked toward the distant royal city.
"Is it Frieza again? No, that's not right! I don't sense Frieza's evil Ki, nor the Ki of Dodoria and Zarbon, those elite commanders!"
Despite the intense sense of unease, he could not detect any Ki presence, and his Combat Power detector showed no information.
The fear brought by the unknown was particularly terrifying.
For a moment, Talot's breathing became rapid, and his heart raced.
At the same time, he felt a strange sense of suffocation.
He was certain this was not an illusion!
"Who could be causing this feeling at this moment... Wait! Could it be?!!!"
An exclamation mark appeared in his mind, and two figures quickly came to mind.
The God of Destruction!
And the Angel!
"That's it! It must be! Otherwise, how could I not sense any Ki? Only the Ki of the gods is undetectable by me! And it can instill absolute fear in me." Talot took a deep breath.
Memories of the original plot flooded his mind.
Before Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, wasn't it the God of Destruction Beerus and the Angel Whis who came to Planet Vegeta for a meal?
Although the original scene was just a brief snippet, as a穿越者 (穿越者 means someone who has traveled through time or dimensions), he was well aware of all the details.
After coming to this world, Talot had always thought about escaping Planet Vegeta before Frieza destroyed it, but he had forgotten to deeply consider the main reason.
Frieza was indeed the culprit, but the fundamental reason for the destruction of Planet Vegeta was that he had received an order from the God of Destruction Beerus.
This is why he acted without hesitation, not only eliminating the threat from the Saiyans but also showing his loyalty to the God of Destruction Beerus.
"Sss~! If I re-estimate based on this progress, Frieza will likely make his move within two months!"
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Talot quickened his pace and headed toward his home.
He needed to confirm one thing: when would Bardock return?
The countdown to the planet's destruction began when Bardock returned from invading Planet Shuiru.
It's worth mentioning that over the years, he had grown up carefree thanks to the care of Bardock and Gine.
Especially Gine, who treated him like a son, even better than she treated Raditz.
As Gine and Bardock often said, his parents and they were very close siblings.
