บท 24: Super Saiyan, is it that kid?
Planet Vegeta.
Bardock watched as the spaceship carrying Talot, Salari, and Gine disappeared into the distance until the scouter lost their signal. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, as if the pressure had suddenly been lifted from him.
"Given the level of strength of Planet Ouyun, your lives won't be in danger.
"Talot, I'm entrusting Salari and Gine to you. With your intelligence, taking care of them shouldn't be a problem.
"I hope this storm will pass quickly. Once I'm sure there's no major issue here, I'll come find you."
After these words left his mouth, Bardock finally turned to leave.
Now that Talot had taken Gine and Salari off Planet Vegeta, Bardock no longer had any worries.
He could now act without any reservations.
[Planet Kanassa—this mission is definitely not as simple as it seems. Even King Vegeta wants me to investigate Frieza's motives more closely. Could there really be some hidden secret on Planet Kanassa? I'd better prepare a few more things before the final day.]With these thoughts, Bardock headed back home.
At this moment, the sky was gradually turning bright, and as the sun rose, most people began to wake up and start their day. Upon seeing Bardock, they all greeted him one by one.
To the Saiyans in this area, who didn't know Bardock? And who didn't admire him? He was the symbol of the low-class warriors and the strongest among them!
Before long, Bardock returned home.
He spent some time organizing his equipment and then left home without hesitation.
This place, in a sense, was his home, but in another sense, it wasn't really.
In his mind, a place only becomes a home when there are family members; without them, it's just a residence.
As he was about to head to the capital to find his team members, a sudden, inexplicable feeling made Bardock furrow his brow. He turned and scanned his surroundings, eventually focusing on a shadowy corner for a long while.
His instincts told him that someone was watching him.
Strangely, if his instincts were correct, the scouter should have detected something.
"Is it just my imagination? Or have I been mentally drained over the past few days, making me too sensitive?" he muttered to himself before unleashing his aura and soaring into the sky, heading towards the capital.
Just as Bardock left, a figure in specialized battle armor emerged from that dark corner.
"That was close! Almost got discovered. Bardock really lives up to his reputation as a warrior with a power level over 10,000. His battle instincts are incredibly sharp.
"Fortunately, I had a signal jammer with me. Otherwise, if I had been discovered just now, it would've been troublesome.
"Wait! Now's not the time to be impressed. I need to report Bardock and his family's situation to His Majesty!"
In the next second, this Saiyan flew at high speed towards the royal palace in the capital.
...
Meanwhile, in the royal palace of the capital.
King Vegeta was seated on his throne, listening to an elite warrior below him report the latest intelligence.
The report essentially stated that Frieza, fearing the legendary Super Saiyan of the Saiyan race, was planning to target them.
There was even a reliable tip-off that Frieza had already ordered his subordinates to secretly gather, intending to descend upon Planet Vegeta soon.
"Hmph! Just as I suspected. That Frieza considers himself the emperor of the universe, controlling everything, yet he's afraid of the legendary power of our Saiyan race. How laughable. He thinks he has us cornered, but I've been preparing to deal with him for some time!" King Vegeta sneered with disdain, and as he spoke the last sentence, a hint of pride crept into his voice.
The emperor of the universe feared the Super Saiyan!
This only proved that the Saiyans were destined to be the true rulers of the universe.
"The elite warriors who were out on missions are returning one by one. I believe that soon, at least eighty percent of them will be back in time."
Hearing this, King Vegeta's heart filled with joy. "Excellent! Since Frieza plans to suppress us, this time I'll make sure he never leaves! With the combined power of all the elite upper-class warriors, Frieza is nothing! Even if his power level is 100,000, even if King Cold is with him, we can take them both down!"
These words revealed how overconfident King Vegeta was.
He would never know just how naïve his line of thinking was.
At that moment, the doors of the royal palace were pushed open again, and the atmosphere in the throne room changed instantly. Not only King Vegeta but also the elite warrior beside him became serious.
King Vegeta gave him a glance, and the warrior instantly disappeared from the throne room.
Turning to the newcomer, King Vegeta straightened up, his eyes filled with authority as he said, "Areita, you've come to see me in such a hurry. I assume you have important news?"
The newcomer was none other than the upper-class warrior King Vegeta had assigned to monitor Bardock and his family.
"Your Majesty, the latest intelligence confirms that Bardock has indeed sent his wife and children off Planet Vegeta, just as you predicted. He's now arrived in the capital, likely to meet with his subordinates."
Hearing this, King Vegeta nodded slightly.
He wasn't particularly concerned about Bardock sending his family away. After all, they were just low-class warriors with insignificant power level, especially Bardock's youngest son, who had a power level of only 2.
"It seems Bardock has some sense, at least. He didn't plan to flee with his family. Since he's come to the capital to meet with his subordinates, he's probably preparing to depart for the invasion of Planet Kanassa." After a simple analysis, King Vegeta took a deep breath, leaned back on his throne, and added, "There's no need to monitor him further. You may leave."
"At once, Your Majesty." Upon hearing King Vegeta's command, the upper-class warrior, feeling as if granted a reprieve, swiftly left the throne room.
This mission had been a trap from the start, and he couldn't understand what King Vegeta's true intentions were.
After Areita left, King Vegeta turned his gaze to another part of the room.
From the shadows, another figure emerged.
King Vegeta asked whether the planet to which Bardock's wife and child were sent had been reported. He then inquired about the latest developments regarding a certain matter. After receiving the information, he dismissed the person and fell into deep thought alone.
In the now-empty grand throne room, only King Vegeta remained, surrounded by solitude.
[Could the Super Saiyan in the legends be that kid?]King Vegeta's emotions were complicated.
Lately, there had been increasing rumors about the legend, forcing him to reflect deeply.
He recalled the time when his son, Vegeta, was born with a power level of 2,000, breaking and setting the highest record for a Saiyan newborn.
He had believed that his son would become the legend, or at least, Vegeta would have the highest potential among the Saiyans.
And indeed, Vegeta had not disappointed him!
However, just when he thought his son might realize the legend, an even more terrifying child was born.
This child not only surpassed Vegeta but was also born with a power level of 10,000!
