Chapter 38: Eruption of Power Level: One Man Stands Alone
Meanwhile,
A seemingly insignificant single-person spaceship streaked across the horizon and crash-landed at the landing zone on Planet Vegeta.
The spaceship's hatch opened, and Bardock, covered in blood, emerged.
The distance between Planet Meat and Planet Vegeta is quite short, so the round trip takes less than two days, and a one-way trip takes no more than a day.
"Finally, I'm back!"
Thanks to the healing liquid he injected and the special medicine he took, combined with the Saiyans' naturally strong self-healing abilities, Bardock's fatal injuries had healed. Not only that, but his strength had also surpassed his previous peak.
After a day's rest and the continuous eruption of potential from surviving a near-death situation, his power level had reached an unprecedented height.
30,000!!!
His immense strength gave Bardock absolute confidence.
He didn't know why he broke through to this level, but he knew one thing: this power was his!
Bardock quickly walked out of the spaceship landing area. His appearance attracted the attention of many of his fellow Saiyans and startled the staff there.
The reason was simple: although many warriors occasionally returned injured, none were ever as covered in blood and filth as Bardock was.
When the staff questioned him, Bardock chose to ignore them completely.
For one reason: he knew these people had no good intentions. Moreover, what mattered most to him now was finding King Vegeta to understand the current situation.
For the past hour, the communication function of the Scouter had been down. His biggest fear was that King Vegeta and the others might have already taken action before he returned and met with disaster.
As he continued forward, all of a sudden, the side effects of the Future Punch's ability to foresee the future struck again, causing him to nearly pass out from the intense pain in his brain.
He had just seen a vision of Planet Vegeta being attacked and destroyed by Frieza.
"No!!!"
Bardock snapped back to reality, drenched in cold sweat.
The voice of the Kanassan he heard earlier echoed in his ears, causing him to gasp for breath.
「Feel the same pain and helplessness as you Saiyans face annihilation!」
"This future… won't come to pass!! I will change the future!!!
"Whether it's mine, Gine's, Raditz's, or even Kakarot's and Talot's... the fate of the Saiyans is not extinction!"
Gritting his teeth, Bardock was determined to change everything.
Moving forward again, Bardock quickly reached the palace. His bloody appearance shocked everyone there.
Until he confirmed that King Vegeta was not in the palace, and that even some elite warriors were unreachable, Bardock's heart sank as he came to the worst possible conclusion.
"The prophecy... it all came true, so now Frieza is just outside Planet Vegeta..." Bardock gasped.
It had already come to such a dangerous moment.
And he only realized it now.
Clenching his teeth, Bardock quickly ran to the most prosperous area of the capital, where he found the largest entertainment venue.
This was a place many Saiyans frequented for leisure.
Whether they were upper-class warriors or low-class warriors, anyone who could afford to spend here was quite wealthy.
Of course, no amount of wealth matters now. The reason Bardock came here to look for help was that, in the Saiyan world, having great wealth also implies significant strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible to possess so many merit points.
Upon arriving, Bardock found some familiar faces and quickly recounted his experiences and the news that Frieza intended to wipe out the Saiyan race.
However, the result was hard for Bardock to accept.
Not only did no one believe him, but no one thought the Saiyans were in any danger at all.
Everyone thought he was joking, and even the upper-class warriors mocked him mercilessly.
"A bunch of hopeless ba*tards!!!
"I hope you all go to hell!"
No longer placing his hopes on them, Bardock turned and left. As they watched Bardock leave, the group of Saiyans continued to make sarcastic remarks.
…
At the top of the tallest building in the royal city.
Bardock finally managed to make it here, trying to keep his composure.
From the entertainment venue to this spot, in just a short span of ten minutes, he had already come close to fainting several times.
To him, these ten minutes felt like a very long time.
The visions of the future kept appearing before his eyes, making him feel like he was living in the future, with each scene unfolding right before him.
Now, Bardock could even see twenty years into the distant future.
He saw Talot as an adult, and he saw his son, Kakarot...
And standing across from them was Frieza!!
"Ta... Talot... Ka...Ka…karot..." Bardock clenched his fists.
He wanted to reach out and grab their shoulders, to make them turn around and see him, but in the next second, everything vanished.
He panted heavily, trying to steady himself.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to cast out all distracting thoughts.
"Destiny... shouldn't be like this... The fate of the Saiyan race... will never be like this!!" Bardock shouted, refusing to accept such a future. Despite seeing Talot and Kakarot facing Frieza in the future, he remained firm in his belief.
He unleashed his full power, his aura blazing like fire, enveloping him in a protective barrier.
He was determined to stop everything and take down Frieza!
With a loud explosion, Bardock shot into the sky like a blazing star, unstoppable by anyone.
…
Outside Planet Vegeta.
Inside his spaceship, Frieza was enjoying this final moment watching Planet Vegeta.
Through the transparent glass made of special material, he looked down at Planet Vegeta from this angle, and everything was within his grasp.
"This is the end. I'm tired of looking at this planet," Frieza said as he once again sat down in his hover pod, showing nonchalance as if he had no attachment to this place at all.
This was Frieza, the emperor of the universe—cold and ruthless.
Following behind Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria exchanged glances, preparing themselves.
Just as they were about to leave the main control room, a sudden exclamation from a soldier operating the spaceship caught the attention of all three.
The gist of it was that a Saiyan with an exceptionally high power level was coming straight for them.
"Is that... the last Saiyan I killed on Planet Meat?!" Dodoria, recognizing the face on the virtual screen, was stunned.
That guy should have been dead. How could he still be alive?!
"You were careless, Mr. Dodoria," Zarbon remarked casually from the side.
Hearing this, Dodoria instantly broke into a nervous sweat.
He quickly realized the situation, his surprise vanishing, replaced by a stiff expression that revealed his fear of Frieza, terrified that the failure of this mission might cost him his life.
