Earth.
After returning to West City from North Kai's Planet, Talot immediately went to find Bulma and Salari.
Seeing that Talot had returned safely, both Bulma and Salari finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on their hearts.
Facing them, Talot didn't hide anything. He recounted everything that had happened over the past two days, including how his power breakthrough had led him to the Sacred World of the Kai.
Only after understanding where Talot had gone and what had happened did the two women finally breathe a sigh of relief, though they also found it all quite unbelievable.
With their initial tension and anxiety gone, they were now filled with curiosity about the Sacred World of the Kai and the Supreme Kai.
However, before they could dig deeper or ask questions, Talot delivered another important piece of news.
He went straight to the point without hesitation and relayed what North Kai had told him about King Cold's movements.
Bulma took it well and didn't react too strongly, though she was aware that King Cold and Frieza were father and son, part of the dark forces of the universe, and sworn enemies of Talot's race.
Salari, on the other hand, immediately became energized.
The time to strike against King Cold had come, and she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Originally, after Raditz broke through to Super Saiyan two months ago, they should have already gone for revenge. But Talot had entered a breakthrough stage, and Raditz also needed time to adapt to his strength, so it had been postponed until now.
"Brother Talot, just say it, what's our next move?" Salari asked with a serious and focused expression.
As a woman and as Talot's wife, despite being pushed to the brink of her tolerance, she had always followed Talot's arrangements.
As long as Talot said it, she would do it. If Talot said to wait, she would keep waiting.
If Talot said it was time to leave for revenge, she would charge forward without hesitation.
Even if they were outmatched in power! Even if it meant death.
Seeing the change in Salari, Talot gently brushed aside the strands of hair covering her face and said, "No need to be so intense. Let's go find Raditz first."
After he said this, Salari nodded with a smile, and Talot turned to look at Bulma.
Their eyes met, and Talot spoke gently, "This mission is very dangerous. For your safety, we can't take you with us this time."
Bulma couldn't go, otherwise there really would be a situation where they wouldn't be able to protect her.
After all, this battle would be on a very high level.
"I understand, so I never intended to drag you down in the first place. I've also been making preparations during this time. Before you leave, take the latest version of my virtual glasses, Version 3.0."
"After the upgrades, the current virtual glasses can now detect up to a power level of roughly ten billion. You'll be able to immediately know how strong the opponent is and decide whether you can take them on," Bulma said as she quickly ran to the research lab on the first floor of the main house.
Talot and Salari followed right behind her and received the latest device from her hands.
"A ten-billion power level detection limit, you've surprised me again, Bulma. Thank you for your hard work," Talot praised her.
To be honest, just as they had been constantly training and creating new miracles, Bulma had also been forging ahead in her own field.
It might seem like it's just detecting a number or upgrading the scouter's capabilities, but who knows how much research and refinement it actually took?
Just like no one else would ever know how much effort they had put in to become as powerful as they were today.
"It wasn't hard at all. As long as I can help you guys, that's enough," Bulma said.
"Umm!" Talot nodded slightly.
After some tender moments, he took Salari and left the house using Instant Transmission.
...
Mount Paozu.
After finding Raditz, Talot told him about his experience and encounters of the past two days.
Raditz wasn't surprised that Talot had grown even stronger, but he was greatly interested in the Supreme Kai and the Sacred World of the Kai.
Until Talot mentioned Frieza and King Cold, and Raditz momentarily put aside all other thoughts.
"So, it's finally time for us to attack, huh? Talot." Raditz was filled with excitement. He too had waited a very long time for this moment.
Counting the days, they were already twenty years old. Thinking back to when Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, nearly fifteen years had passed.
"Now that your strength has stabilized, even if it hasn't reached Full Power, it's time! We've endured and developed until now, it's finally time to deliver a heavy blow to Frieza and King Cold's race! This era no longer belongs to them." There was an unshakable dominance and unwavering determination in Talot's voice.
This decision perfectly matched the wishes of both Raditz and Salari, igniting the flames of vengeance deep in their hearts.
"This era, the next era, and every era after that… will belong to us Saiyans!" Salari declared with lofty ambition.
"King Cold first, then it's Frieza's turn!" Raditz said with a look of exhilaration, fully prepared to make a massive uproar.
A murderous aura filled the air, and a unique glow surrounded all three of them.
Seeing this, Gine, Launch, and Son Gohan, who were standing nearby, each revealed their own distinct expressions.
Worry, unease, sorrow…
But in the end, all those emotions transformed into concern and encouragement for the three.
Their family and friends were about to step onto the battlefield, if they didn't support and trust them, then who else could be their solid backing?
"Talot, Salari, and Raditz, you're my pride, and the pride of our Saiyan race. Without even realizing it, you've all grown so strong and become Super Saiyans, carrying the future of our people on your shoulders! I'll be waiting for you on Earth, make sure you return victorious!" Gine said.
Her words were filled with deep care.
In truth, she didn't demand victory; she just wanted them to return safely.
"I don't really know who the enemy is or how scary they are, but Raditz, as the man I've fallen for, I believe you can definitely take down that Cold! I'll wait here on Earth with mom for your return!" Launch said to Raditz with encouragement.
As one of those fiercely protective women, if Launch hadn't already chosen someone, she would definitely be the same type as Bulma or Chichi.
"I know! Just wait for me to come back! And when I do, you'd better give me a few sons to carry on the Saiyan bloodline." Raditz nodded seriously, but with a mischievous look on his face—one that Launch found incredibly attractive.
His straightforward remark made everyone laugh.
Talot didn't notice, but Salari glanced at her own stomach, then at Talot, as if making a silent decision of her own.
The heavy mood lightened slightly thanks to that little joke.
Son Gohan, being the elder, also stepped forward at that moment to say a few encouraging words.
But the main point of Son Gohan's message was that with great power comes great responsibility.
If evil exists, then they must be the justice to eliminate it.
The three of them readily agreed, though inside they felt quite a bit of emotion.
Son Gohan had no idea just how evil and terrifying the Saiyans used to be, committing every imaginable crime.
If he did know, he likely wouldn't speak the way he did now.
Of course, people are always a mix of good and bad, so it can't all be judged the same way.
At the very least, under Talot's guidance, neither Raditz, Salari, nor even Gine had ever caused reckless destruction or casualties again.
After this round of conversation, the three of them departed from Earth.
Since they couldn't pinpoint King Cold's exact location, they needed to return to North Kai's Planet and rely on North Kai's powers.
