The sky gradually turned overcast, bck clouds loomed overhead, and thunder rumbled in the distahe entire sky looked as if it was the end of the world, lookiraordinarily terrifying.

  In the forest, a fierce wind howled tinuously, causing the trees and pnts to sway.

  As this prelude passed, heavy rain poured down from the sky, c everything visible to the naked eye.

  In a quiet valley.

  Talot, Gine, and Sari were ihe spaceship, avoiding the onsught of the storm.

  Uhe storms on ordinary ps, the storm on this p was a true tempest, with huge raindrops and intense rain that couldn't be pared tur storm.

  There's a saying from his previous life that perfectly describes the current se: it was as if the sky was really p water.

  If Talot hadn't been sure that the spaceship could withstand it, he would have already piloted it away from the surface.

  Ihe spaceship.

  Watg the world outside being swept away by the rainstorm, Talot's thoughts gradually drifted far away.

  Unknowingly, nearly two hours passed.

  The rain weakeurning into a light drizzle. Talot was just about to go out for some fresh air when, at that moment, his scouter received a message.

  It was a notification from the Frieza Force about the destru of P Vegeta.

  It came so suddenly that Talot, who had been expeg this, was momentarily stunned.

  "Finally, has it e?"

  Talot, his emotions building for what felt like a long time, finally let out a quiet murmur.

  Since arriving o Ouyun...

  No!

  To be precise, sihe day he set out, Talot had been calg the time, stantly pnning.

  He had prepared so early that it had almost bee a habit, to the point where he gradually started fetting about it.

  [I wonder, did Bardock die in the explosion, or…]His mind involuntarily wao that side story.

  If he died in the p's explosion, then he could use the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life.

  But if Bardock, like in that side story, traveled ba time to the past, that would be a different matter altogether.

  Talot had already sidered this possibility.

  If Bardock really did travel ba time, regardless of whether Shenron's power could bring him back, knowing that Bardock would bee a Super Saiyan in the past, Talot didn't want to ge that plot.

  As he was lost in thought, Gine and Sari, who had beeing in the spaceship's , rushed out.

  It was obvious that they had just seen the message on the scouter.

  "Talot, did you receive it? P Vegeta exploded due to a massive meteor collision...!!" Gine said nervously, her voixious.

  Her voice was trembling, clearly shaken by the news, and at the same time, she anig inside.

  There was no doubt she was worried about Bardock.

  When she left P Vegeta, she had a strange feeling, and now that feeling of it being the st time seeing him has e true.

  Her emotions became increasingly plicated, and the panic caused Gine's face to turn pale, her body breaking out in a cold sweat.

  And in those eyes, there was already a faint hint of tears, showing signs of emotional breakdown.

  Just as Talot had thought befine was bound to have aional outburst.

  "I also received the news about P Vegeta's explosion, but Aunt Gine, don't worry just yet. If the news is true, what's done is done. We 't lose our posure; instead, we should be gd. Because Uncle Bardod I had predicted it; at least we avoided the crisis of the p exploding," Talot said to fort her.

  "Brother Talot and Uncle Bardock predicted this?" Sari chimed in, "Why didn't you tell me?"

  Her words were clearly bming Talot for hiding this from her.

  Obviously, Sari was alsling to accept it at the moment.

  Even though she was only five years old and had few s, she was quite mature.

  Now that such a huge matter had been hidden from her, it was only natural for her to be upset.

  It was like everyone khis major event was about to happen, but the family deliberately left you out. Even the most oblivious person would feel like an outsider.

  "It was my fault for not telling you. I was afraid that if I told you, it would bee a burden on your mind. Also, sinet Vegeta hadn't experienced any major events retly, and we hadn't received any bad news, I just naturally thought I was being overly anxious," Talot expio Sari, ily trying to soothe Gine as well.

  Sari was easy to fort, but Gine was a different story.

  Afraid of being bmed by Gialot spoke in this way to distance himself from the situation.

  At the very least, he implied that he wasn't sure and hadn't expected things to bee so serious.

  By doing so, Gine wouldn't develop ive feelings toward him, allowing him to proceed with his pn.

  "I suddenly feel like I'm dreaming. Talot, tell me, Bardock will be okay, right?" Giaking deep breaths, trying to force herself to stay calm and not break down.

  She wanted a definite answer.

  At this moment, she regretted having Talot modify all the scouters in the first pce, making them uo even unicate. Now they could only passively receive messages.

  "I think Uncle Bardock must have phings out. Besides, after we left P Vegeta, Uncle Bardock also went out on a mission. With such a short time, the mission probably isn't over yet." Uo tell the whole truth, Talot could only offer a white lie.

  However, he genuinely couldn't determine whether Bardock was alive or dead.

  Hearing Talot's words, Gine calmed down a bit.

  It was something to hold onto, giving her some time to process before knowing the truth.

  "I uand how you feel, Aunt Gine. I also know that you might want to go back immediately to see if the news is true, but I 't take you back.

  "This is what Uncle Bardock warned us of before we left! Unless he tacts us or finds us, we must not go back or a our own.

  "Moreover, I suspect that the explosion of P Vegeta wasn't caused by a meteorite collision at all. It might have been Frieza ag i! If we go baow, we'll definitely be killed!"

  Crushing any hht at the outset, Talot kept speaking.

  He wanted Gio uand that they must not expose themselves at the moment; they couldn't let Bardock's preparations go to waste.

  "But... but..." Gine's delicate body trembled.

  She was torn inside because Talot was right.

  "Brother Talot, we really not go back...? If P Vegeta really exploded, then we won't have a home anymore," Sari said, her voice tinged with sadness.

  "No! As long as we're together, no matter where we go, it could be our home!" Talot let out a long sigh; he could uand this se.

  It's simir to how he ever return to Earth from his past life; that Earth was what Talot sidered his true home deep down.

  This feeling didn't ge, even after spending five years o Vegeta.
