Raditz volunteered, and Talot had no intention of discouraging him. Even Salari showed no sign of objecting.
For Talot, his original plan was to have either Raditz or Salari deal with Cold. If one-on-one didn't work, then two-on-one!
Salari, on the other hand, wanted to see just how far Raditz's so-called Super Saiyan transformation had progressed.
It wasn't that she didn't want to fight. Rather, her personality had changed drastically from before. The stronger she became, the more cautious she grew.
"In that case, I'll leave Cold to you. But don't blame me for not warning you. If you lose, I won't hold back next time," Salari teased.
"Just sit back and watch. Watch how I kill Cold!" Raditz's eyes gleamed with iciness.
"Good. As for the other enemies, Brother Talot and I will take care of them. We won't interfere with your fight," Salari said, clearly looking forward to the show.
Listening to their conversation, Talot said nothing.
At that very moment, time continued to pass since the explosion. Before they knew it, Cold's high-power-level troops had arrived, and like an inescapable net, they surrounded the group.
Beep beep beep beep~~!! The virtual glasses automatically scanned the power levels of Cold's soldiers.
Not only did they label each one, they provided detailed data down to body structure, biological info. Every piece of data was listed.
Compared to the old scouters, this was vastly superior.
"The lowest power levels here are all elite-class at over 5,000, with the majority over 10,000, and some captain level nearing 20,000," Talot murmured.
"There are even a few with power levels exceeding 30,000. Never heard of them before," Salari added.
This clearly showed that Cold's forces were hiding some real talent.
Of course, to them now, these were nothing but nameless small fry.
"Just as Salari said, you can go all-out against Cold. We'll handle the rest," Talot said as he raised his right hand.
As he spoke, golden light flickered in his palm. In the next second, a glowing orb shot into the air, then exploded, turning into dozens of energy beams that fired out in all directions, striking down the nearby Cold soldiers with pinpoint accuracy.
"I'm in too!" Salari, itching for action, struck without hesitation.
To her, it was just like a game. Even in her base form, her power was in the millions. Enemies with power levels in the hundreds of thousands or even a million weren't worth a second glance.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! …
The roar of energy blasts echoed without end, flames from explosions spreading in all directions.
In what seemed like the blink of an eye, the Cold soldiers forming the airborne encirclement were wiped out by Talot and Salari.
This scene, of course, was witnessed by the other Cold soldiers who had arrived one after another.
To them, it was nothing less than a battlefield from hell.
Every move was deadly, radiating a bloody aura.
Seeing countless elite soldiers slaughtered in an instant, the few survivors no longer dared to stay.
Some ran, others fled.
What a joke! How could they possibly survive against monsters like that?
Unfortunately, no matter where they ran, as long as they were still on this planet, they were within Talot and the others' range of extermination.
Unless they went into hiding and never came out, Talot and the others had no intention of hunting every last one of them down, unless they decided to destroy the entire planet.
A one-sided sweep!
That's right!
A merciless slaughter with no suspense. In the past, a power level over 10,000 would make someone a dominant force, even one of the top super beings on a high-level planet.
But now, they were just a disorganized rabble.
Raditz still hadn't moved. His attention remained fixed on the center of the earlier massive explosion.
He could sense it. Cold wasn't dead! Not even injured!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE~~!!!
CRASH CRASH CRASH~~!!!
Just as the battle had become one-sided, at the heart of the mushroom cloud left by the explosion, a violent gust of wind howled out, surging into the sky and tearing through the atmosphere in every direction. In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted, and heaven and earth changed color.
Within a radius of several dozen miles, the smoke and flames from the explosion were blown away all at once, revealing a devastated and unsightly landscape.
King Cold, who had been engulfed by the explosion earlier, now reappeared.
King Cold's cold, piercing gaze swept over Talot, Raditz, and Salari. He didn't need to guess to know what was going on, especially as his elite troops were being slaughtered without end.
And he quickly recognized who the three of them were!
Because the footage sent back by Cooler before had informed him.
"Just as expected, you've come after all. But I didn't think you'd actually dare set foot on my planet, Saiyans," King Cold said grimly, his expression twisted with malice.
In truth, he had already anticipated the arrival of Talot and his group.
He just hadn't expected it to be so sudden, and at this moment….
Especially since they had come straight to his headquarters.
Not only had they chosen direct invasion, but they were committing mass slaughter, showing not the slightest regard for him, the emperor of the universe.
"Since you guessed we'd come, I suppose you've already washed your neck and waited for us. Now that your death is at hand, what last words do you have, Father of Frieza - King Cold!" Raditz stepped forward slowly, a disdainful smile on his lips.
He put on an arrogant attitude, completely disregarding King Cold.
First, because his virtual glasses had already shown him King Cold's power level.
Second, because Super Saiyan gave him more than enough confidence.
A power level of 150 million was powerful.
But nowadays, it wasn't enough.
"Hmph! Such shameless boasting! If I'm not mistaken, that Saiyan over there is the Super Saiyan who killed my son, Cooler, correct? As for you, you're just a long-haired monkey. You don't even have the qualifications to speak with me!" King Cold also paid Raditz no heed.
He believed that only special Saiyans could become Super Saiyan, so he had no intention of wasting words on Raditz.
With a casual motion, he released a flamboyant energy blast.
Raditz, knowing he was being underestimated, didn't get angry but smiled instead. Facing King Cold's attack, he activated the Super Saiyan energy within, golden aura surging around him. He casually caught King Cold's energy blast and crushed it with a light squeeze.
"Hm? What?!" King Cold's expression shifted slightly as he witnessed the scene, his look growing more serious.
Though it was just a casual strike, not just anyone could neutralize it so easily.
He had underestimated this long-haired Saiyan.
"It's true that the Super Saiyan who killed Cooler was Talot, but soon, you'll die at the hands of this Super Saiyan!" As his words fell, the S-cells within Raditz's body fully erupted.
His waist-length black hair billowed without wind. Under King Cold's gaze, Raditz's energy rapidly surged, and before long, he had transformed into a Super Saiyan.
