The memories of the great chaos that had occurred not long ago still left everyone feeling uneasy and frightened.
Talot didn't want to dwell on that point. Suddenly, a fun idea popped into his head. He turned his gaze to GT Vegeta beside him and said, "It's quite interesting, actually. In my timeline, your power, Vegeta, far surpassed Kakarot's. I didn't expect that in this timeline... the situation would be reversed."
His words carried a teasing smile. Upon hearing this, all the GT fighters present were stunned for a moment, followed by expressions of disbelief.
"What did you say?!" GT Vegeta was completely taken aback by these words.
For him, this was undoubtedly explosive news.
Surpassing Kakarot was his lifelong ambition.
Ever since the Majin Buu incident, he had been completely humbled and no longer pursued surpassing Kakarot. Instead, he wanted to see where his own limits lay.
But who would have thought that in another timeline, he had actually surpassed Kakarot, and according to Talot, it seemed to be a significant lead!
"Another version of Vegeta surpassed me? Really?!" Son Goku found it unbelievable.
Although he also hoped that Vegeta's power could increase to the point of surpassing him, he would still feel very uncomfortable knowing that Vegeta had surpassed him, even if this Vegeta was from another timeline.
"Before I left my timeline, Vegeta's power was indeed ahead of yours. Among all the Saiyans, his power was second only to me and Raditz," Talot said again.
"Raditz? Are you talking about my brother, Raditz?!" Son Goku was even more surprised upon hearing this news.
Although he knew from Talot's previous explanations that Raditz was still alive, he was shocked to learn that Raditz's power had surpassed him and Vegeta, and was second only to Talot.
What kind of world was that timeline?
It was completely different from their current world.
[Another version of me was surpassed by Raditz?! What a joke!!!] GT Vegeta was a mess in the wind. This news was even more unacceptable to him than Kakarot surpassing him.
That was Raditz! A small fry who was insignificant in his eyes back then! His maximum Battle Power was only 1500!
Vegeta's face was ashen, becoming increasingly unsightly.
Then, Talot began to talk about Raditz's affairs.
In short, they were chatting about random things, exchanging information, and providing some turning points for changes in this timeline.
...
Time passed quickly.
Unknowingly, a week had passed since the Demonized Super One-Star Dragon was defeated by Talot.
During this week, Talot was not idle. He traveled throughout the entire GT timeline universe, and even sensed higher dimensions.
Talot did this for two purposes.
First, to determine whether the God of Destruction Realm existed in the GT world? Second, to determine whether the bosses from the two Dragon Ball AF fan series existed in the GT world.
After all, even the GT timeline had appeared, so would the future of this world connect to the AF plot?
After traveling through many corners of the GT universe, he first learned from Old Kai about whether Gods of Destruction and Angels existed in the GT world.
The GT timeline was an incomplete world. There was no complete system of gods in this world.
In this world, the King Kais were the highest in status.
Gods of Destruction and Angels did not exist.
This answer shocked Talot, but he couldn't delve into it and could only say to himself, I see.
Then, he began to verify his second guess, looking for the existences that had appeared in the AF series timeline.
For example, Son Goku's third son, Zaikou, and Frieza's son, Ezer.
After searching for a whole week, there was no trace of them.
From this, Talot concluded that the GT timeline was an independent timeline. It might give rise to other parallel timelines, but this timeline would not for the time being.
Because it was the Dragon Ball GT universe itself, not a derived universe!
...
On Earth.
Mount Paozu.
Son Goku was sitting cross-legged at the edge of a cliff, deep in meditation.
He was cultivating in his spiritual world, further enhancing his Super Saiyan Fourth Grade, while also digesting the experiences and gains from his battle with the Evil Dragons.
A week of insights had brought tremendous improvement for Son Goku.
Having perfectly assimilated all his insights, Son Goku's strength was now completely different from what it once was.
"I've succeeded..." Feeling the majestic energy within his body, Son Goku said with immense excitement.
Compared to a week ago, his full power now, while not reaching the powerful realm of Super One-Star Dragon, was enough to confront Super One-Star Dragon head-on without being at a disadvantage.
Moreover, if the initial clash was not inferior to Super One-Star Dragon, he would surely be able to win the battle later on.
The Super Saiyan Fourth Grade state fully activated the power of his bloodline, while also maximizing the Saiyan's characteristic of growing stronger when facing stronger opponents. If he were to fight Super One-Star Dragon again, he would definitely be the one to win in the end! "Judging by the time, that guy should be coming back soon." Son Goku's mind returned to reality, his eyes gazing out into the universe.
Just then, an extremely profound aura entered his perception.
Reacting to this formidable energy, a glint flashed in Son Goku's eyes. He rubbed his nose, and the smile on his face became even more obvious.
This aura was none other than Talot's.
Son Goku smiled excitedly, then impatiently used Instant Transmission, disappearing from the cliff on Mount Paozu.
He was going to fight him! This was the challenge they had made to each other seven days ago, before Talot set off to roam the universe.
...
West City.
Inside the luxurious estate in the backyard of Capsule Corp.
Vegeta's training area.
Ever since learning from Talot that the other version of himself in another timeline had power surpassing Kakarot, Vegeta had regained his motivation for training as if he had taken a stimulant, and he had regained his confidence.
Throughout this week, he had been doing high-intensity training, and his body had returned to its peak condition! Not only that, but he had also pulled out his lost tail during these seven days.
With his tail regrown, Vegeta's Battle Power had increased by another level. He could now complete the Super Saiyan Fourth Grade transformation without the aid of the Blutz Wave Emission Device.
At this moment, Vegeta, whose body functions had returned to their peak, was repeating one-finger push-ups over and over again.
Not ordinary one-finger push-ups, but one-finger push-ups performed in an environment with thousands of times the gravity!
It was also Vegeta's unique warm-up exercise.
Just then, Vegeta, who was halfway through his training, suddenly sensed Talot's aura.
The movement in his hand stopped, and the next second, he exerted force with his single finger, rotating several times in mid-air before landing perfectly.
GT Vegeta's cold gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, and a confident and awe-inspiring smile appeared on his face once again.
"The timing is just right. It wasn't in vain that I did such a long warm-up. The current me is different from the me of a week ago." Vegeta clenched his fist with high fighting spirit, his eyes burning with fiery fighting intent.
Having regained his peak physical condition and perfectly mastered Super Saiyan Fourth Grade, GT Vegeta was extremely confident in his strength.
Although he couldn't defeat Talot, he was confident that he was on par with Son Goku.
Moreover, this battle was not a fair contest in essence, but rather a joint effort between him and Kakarot to deal with Talot alone.
Leaving the Gravity Training Room, Vegeta slowly floated into the sky. After locking onto Talot's location, he instantly shot out, his speed so fast that it stirred up layers of sonic booms in the space.
...
In the barren area of the Southern Continent of Earth.
Talot had chosen this place as the battle area, and he stood with his arms crossed, quietly waiting for Son Goku and Vegeta to arrive.
After a week of accumulation, he could sense that their strength had become even more powerful.
This made Talot look forward to whether the Super Fourth Gogeta formed by the fusion of these two would undergo a qualitative change in strength compared to the Super Fourth Gogeta from a week ago.
A whooshing sound of air being torn apart rang out!
Son Goku used Instant Transmission to appear in front of Talot.
"You came pretty fast." Talot joked.
"Hehe, this day has finally come, Talot!" Son Goku showed his signature smile, greeting Talot.
It's worth mentioning that his body has returned to its original form, no longer a child.
Talot nodded, not saying much.
"Vegeta looks like he'll need a while to get here, how about we start first?" Son Goku was a little impatient.
He couldn't help but want to fight Talot quickly. This week of accumulation was for this day, and now was the best moment for him to test his own strength.
Of course, the most crucial thing was that he was afraid that after Vegeta arrived, Vegeta would snatch the opportunity to strike first.
"So impatient? Sure." Talot understood Son Goku's meaning and agreed to his request.
Having received permission, Son Goku's eyes burned with fighting spirit.
He excitedly let out a roar, and the power of his bloodline was activated in an instant. Accompanied by the explosion of golden light, he completed the transformation into Super Saiyan Fourth Grade in an instant.
"He completed the transformation into Super Saiyan Fourth Grade in an instant? It seems you've perfectly digested the insights from the battle with the Evil Dragons." Talot's gaze wandered back and forth over Super Fourth Son Goku, and in just a few glances, he could see how strong Super Fourth Son Goku's Battle Power was.
It had already reached the late Eighth Dimension. Although it was a little weaker than Super One-Star Dragon, it wasn't too much weaker.
"That's natural. We Saiyans improve with every battle. Although I'm not as strong as Super One-Star Dragon now, I'm not far off! Come on, hurry up and transform too, Talot! Let me see your transformation!" Super Fourth Son Goku urged with high fighting spirit.
Once he entered the Super Saiyan Fourth Grade form, he would lose control of his emotions.
Especially when facing an opponent as strong as Talot, he could hardly suppress the restless fighting desire within his body!
"Alright, as you wish." The corners of Talot's mouth rose, and in a single thought, he activated the S-Cells in his body, mobilized the Super Saiyan Energy Pool, and in the blink of an eye, entered the Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State.
"Super Saiyan First Stage Full Power State? Do you think you only need to transform into Super Saiyan First Stage to deal with me? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by me later?" Super Fourth Son Goku's mouth rose, teasing Talot.
Although it was annoying, Son Goku knew that Talot's strength was there. In a one-on-one fight, even Super Fourth him might not be his opponent.
"If you can defeat my Super Saiyan First Stage, then I'll let you see Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Fourth Grade · Limit Break!" Talot raised two fingers in succession, introducing two different forms to Super Fourth Son Goku.
Hearing this, Super Fourth Son Goku's face became serious.
"Super Saiyan God? Super Saiyan Fourth Grade · Limit Break? Interesting!"
He hadn't heard of Super Saiyan God, but what was certain was that this form must be a brand new transformation, possibly even stronger than Super Saiyan Fourth Grade.
The brand new transformation aroused Super Fourth Son Goku's interest, filling him with expectations for the road to becoming stronger in the future.
As for Super Saiyan Fourth Grade · Limit Break, this transformation could definitely be a form above Super Saiyan Fourth Grade, and it was also the path he would take next.
If he could learn the method of transformation from Talot, then his breakthrough to the Super Saiyan Fourth Grade Limit Break state would only be a matter of time.
"Come on, Kakarot!" Talot hooked his index finger at Super Fourth Son Goku.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" At the moment the words fell, majestic bloodline power gushed out from Super Fourth Son Goku's body.
The aura, as scorching as the Sun, mercilessly devoured everything within a radius of ten kilometers.
As the aura reached its peak, Super Fourth Son Goku raised his right hand, his palm transforming into a blade of destruction that could cut through everything, slashing towards Talot from afar.
Sizzle~!!! The aura blade, as sharp as mud, cut through space, bringing with it a temperature sufficient to burn all things, and attacked Talot head-on.
Faced with Super Fourth Son Goku's burning blade attack, a flash of light passed through Talot's eyes.
In an instant, an invisible force expanded, perfectly neutralizing this burning blade attack that could cut through iron like mud.
The attack missed, Super Fourth Son Goku's legs gathered strength and suddenly rushed out, like a ray of sunlight rushing towards Talot, bringing with it a penetrating iron fist with the power of his whole body.
Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist! Super Fourth Son Goku's offensive was fierce, his speed was also very fast, and his strength was very strong, but in Talot's eyes, it was still very weak.
At the moment when Super Fourth Son Goku's attack was about to hit, Talot burst out with a speed that crossed space, perfectly avoiding this powerful blow, while also leaving a residual image in place.
Super Fourth Son Goku's full blow penetrated the residual image left by Talot.
