บท 23: Departure to Planet Ouyun! My Era
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.
It seemed short, but in reality, it felt like a long time for Talot and Gine. They hadn't slept well in the past two days.
In contrast, Salari was full of energy, completely unaffected.
After all, she knew nothing about what was going on and had no worries weighing on her mind.
After gathering at home and bidding farewell to Bardock, Talot, Salari, and Gine boarded the spaceship.
Since they chose to leave early in the morning, before dawn, hardly anyone noticed.
"Remember! Unless I contact you first, absolutely do not respond!"
This was Bardock's final advice, making the three of them understand that even though they were leaving Planet Vegeta, it didn't mean they were absolutely safe.
After bidding farewell to Bardock, Talot did not reveal his plans to him.
Since he had made this choice, there could be no hesitation. To avoid any unforeseen incidents, he needed to first lead Salari and Gine away from the danger, and only then could he consider other matters.
...
The spaceship pierced through the sky, leaving Planet Vegeta and entering space. For Talot, his era had finally begun.
He no longer had to face any threats or suppression. No more hiding or suppressing his power, while constantly living in fear.
In short: The world is your oyster!
From now on, he could do whatever he wanted. Most importantly, after leaving Planet Vegeta, he had no less than ten ways to make himself even stronger.
Of course, for now, he wasn't going to tell Gine and Salari.
At the moment, Planet Vegeta hadn't been destroyed by Frieza yet. When that day came, it would be the true moment to reveal everything.
Standing up from the pilot's seat, Talot stretched his body, showing a clear sign of fatigue.
He had been nervous before leaving, afraid that something might go wrong at the crucial moment.
Now, at least they had safely departed, and the tension from the past few days had finally eased.
However, it was still too early to talk about being truly safe, so he couldn't rest just yet.
Looking back from space at the enormous Planet Vegeta, this scene was incomparable to what he had seen in the past, whether in anime, manga, or even in sci-fi movies.
"It's been about seven or eight years since I last left Planet Vegeta. It's still as... beautiful as ever." After so many years of not seeing such a sight and not venturing into space, Gine, who had originally been calm, suddenly felt nervous.
When she said the final word "beautiful," there was a noticeable tremor in her voice, as if she was trying to hide her emotional turmoil. [*Beautiful comes at the end in Chinese text.]
Perhaps Gine had simply not done any space travel for too long. After getting used to a peaceful and quiet life, suddenly having to drift through space again made her feel unsettled, as if she had lost the ground beneath her feet.
In truth, no one knew, but Gine herself was well aware—it wasn't just the thought of space travel that left her feeling empty.
It was as if she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
She felt that saying goodbye to Bardock just now might have been their last meeting.
"Aunt Gine, you can think of this mission as a space vacation. You've worked hard for so many years, so consider this a holiday for yourself." Talot joked to change the subject.
Since coming to this world, Talot knew that although Gine's work seemed to be just logistics, which looked simple, in reality, she had been very busy.
Not only did she have to share in the daily tasks, but she also had to take care of them.
To put it simply, she worked year-round without a break.
This might be normal for Saiyans, but in reality, such a life would cause great psychological strain on any intelligent being.
Hearing Talot's words, Gine smiled and said, "Well, I guess Aunt Gine is lucky to have you, little Talot. I hope Planet Ouyun matches the data—it's supposed to be a beautiful planet."
"The more beautiful a planet, the more likely it is to be invaded by outsiders!" Talot couldn't help but say.
The planet they were invading this time, Planet Ouyun, was more than twice the size of Planet Vegeta, though its gravity was nearly the same.
The natives of the planet hadn't developed any technological civilization, but under the pressure of survival in a primitive environment, they possessed formidable strength.
To put it simply, without the reliance on technology, they had to rely solely on their physical strength to accomplish everything. For the survival and reproduction of their race, the Ouyun people not only had large bodies but also an average power level between 100 and 300.
Moreover, other life forms on Planet Ouyun were also incredibly large.
When Talot first learned about Planet Ouyun, his initial thought was to compare it to what he knew from his previous life. He judged that this planet was in a prehistoric era, perhaps even earlier, which allowed the planet to nurture many massive creatures.
It was similar to Earth in Talot's previous life, where there was a time when enormous creatures like dinosaurs ruled.
Of course, creatures like dinosaurs were quite common in this world.
Not only did they exist on Earth, but they also existed on Planet Vegeta.
However, the Saiyans referred to them as "Terror Beasts" and considered them food.
"Brother Talot, how long will it take to reach Planet Ouyun?" Salari asked, speaking up at this moment.
Earlier, she had been captivated by the beauty of Planet Vegeta.
Now that Planet Vegeta had become just another star, it was no longer visible.
Space travel is, in fact, boring. There's only a bit of excitement and novelty at the beginning.
"At the speed of this medium-sized spaceship, it should take about two months to get there," Talot answered Salari's question before returning to the control panel.
Skillfully operating the spaceship, the holographic projection displayed all the data in front of him.
Planet Ouyun wasn't far from Planet Vegeta.
Of course, this "not far" is under the condition of having a spaceship with this kind of technology as a means of transportation.
However, compared to Planet Larp, which Raditz and others needed to invade, the distance was twice as far.
So Talot thought that perhaps by the time they arrived on Planet Ouyun, Vegeta, and Raditz would have already completed their invasion mission.
Based on the original work's storyline, the completion of their mission would coincide with Frieza's destruction of Planet Vegeta, which would be covered up as a massive meteorite collision.
[I just wonder if the plot will change this time. After all, the events of two timelines have completely mixed together… Forget it! Why think so much? Now, I'm no longer bound by anything! Once hyperspace jump is activated, I'll destroy those monitoring modules in a few days. The spaceship's system will need a reset too, to completely sever any communication function...]
