Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Half a year passed quietly just like that.
During this half year, many changes occurred throughout the universe.
Especially in the North Area. With King Cold's death, the new Cold Force was left leaderless, and the Frieza Force, lacking a commander, splintered apart. This once-mighty force quickly fragmented into countless organizations, large and small, scattered across the North Area.
Many powerful individuals even broke free from their previous chains of command and headed to other galaxies in search of new opportunities.
The power structure shifted dramatically, yet Frieza still had not appeared in public, causing even his once-loyal commanders to start harboring other thoughts.
Dodoria and Zarbon, the Ginyu Force, and the captains stationed across various star systems.
Before, these people were all-powerful, second only to one, but now that another half a year has passed, and with no news from Frieza, they too began to grow bold.
In other words, if they waited any longer, there'd be no scraps left to fight over.
Most of the elite captains who had staked their claim early on now felt fortunate for acting when they did.
In short, the era of a unified empire was over. With the deaths of Cooler and King Cold, and Frieza lying low, everyone believed that even if Frieza was still alive, he wouldn't dare show his face again.
The mortal world's galactic situation had undergone massive changes.
But this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. For the Kais, this was actually a blessing. After all, even if these powerhouses with battle powers over ten thousand, or even over a hundred thousand, caused chaos, they still couldn't compare to Frieza, King Cold, or Cooler.
Leaving aside the universe's situation.
Seven months ago, when King Cold descended to Hell, another major event unfolded there.
Unsurprisingly, the deceased King Cold, much like Cooler before him, was restless. He even joined forces with Cooler, attempting to incite another war and overthrow King Yemma's rule.
Of course, Talot made another trip to Hell and gave them both a thorough beatdown and some proper discipline.
Afterward, as originally planned, Talot brought Raditz and Salari to the Sacred World of the Kai for training.
Naturally, the Old Supreme Kai was also asked to help them unlock their potential.
In short, after six months, the trio's power had increased tremendously.
Starting with Talot himself, his base power level had reached 30 million.
An increase of nearly 7 million points, his growth far exceeded that of previous years.
After half a year of accumulation, Raditz and Salari had also made significant progress.
Not only had they both mastered Full Power Super Saiyan 1, but their base power levels had also risen to 13 million and 12 million respectively.
Raditz's was slightly higher, but in terms of actual power level, the difference between the two wasn't that big.
As for Super Saiyan 2, with Talot's guidance, they had begun to explore it as well.
Although they hadn't achieved it yet, with some more time, at most another six months to a year, they would definitely get there.
…
On this day.
In the Sacred World of the Kai.
The three Super Saiyans stood facing each other, overwhelming energy surging around them.
On the ground, the Old Supreme Kai, the East Supreme Kai, and Kibito silently observed the battle as spectators.
They were already used to sparring between Talot, Salari, and Raditz.
High in the sky.
Talot floated with his arms crossed, like an invincible war god, waiting for Raditz and Salari on either side to make the first move.
"This time won't be as easy as last time! Be careful, Talot." Raditz assumed a battle stance, his powerful aura pressing toward Talot.
The invisible pressure from the aura was terrifying for others, but for Talot, it had no effect whatsoever.
Talot calmly neutralized it without any change in expression, a smile in his eyes. "There's no need to use that kind of tactic, Raditz."
"And mine too, Brother Talot," Salari added, simultaneously unleashing her aura and preparing for battle.
A single aura wasn't much, but with both auras combined and exerting pressure together, it was a whole different story.
At their peak eruption, the two launched their attack simultaneously, with their power levels surging close to one billion each!
It could be said they were now no weaker than King Cold in his transformed state back then.
Raditz was the first to strike, dashing toward Talot at full speed.
His rapid-fire attacks came one after another like lightning, each strike creating successive sonic booms.
Swish swish swish~~!!! In just a few seconds, Raditz had launched dozens, even hundreds of powerful strikes at Talot.
Naturally, all of them were effortlessly neutralized by Talot.
After all, Talot's current power level had reached a staggering 2.4 billion!
Unable to gain even the slightest advantage in hand-to-hand combat, Raditz quickly created distance. With swift hand movements, he launched dozens of golden energy blasts, covering the sky like a massive net, sweeping toward Talot.
Seeing this, Talot casually released a beam of intense light, detonating all the energy blasts at once. The resulting explosions lit up the sky, shrouding the battlefield in thick smoke and obscuring everyone's vision.
Taking advantage of the cover, Raditz sprang into action. Forming a blade-hand gesture with his right hand and putting it at his forehead, he locked onto Talot's aura and used Instant Transmission to teleport behind him. He then grabbed Talot tightly, restraining his movements.
"Grabbing me from behind, do you really think that'll work, Raditz?" With his movements sealed, Talot turned his head slightly and spoke.
He wasn't flustered in the slightest. If he wanted to, he could break free from Raditz's grip in an instant.
"You'll find out soon enough, Talot." Raditz chuckled and continued to increase his energy output, reinforcing the hold on Talot.
At the same time, a fierce gust of wind blew away the smoke from the explosions. As the view cleared, Salari could be seen in an energy-releasing stance; her ultimate technique was already fully formed.
Their teamwork was simple yet effective. Use the most straightforward method to launch an attack that could actually catch Talot off guard.
"Sorry, Brother Talot. We wouldn't stand a chance otherwise. Take this!! Super Purple Light Cannon!!"
With a cute shout, Salari thrust her hands forward, unleashing a white-violet energy beam that shot out with unparalleled destructive power, heading straight for Talot.
The Super Purple Light Cannon came rushing over, and Talot was indeed caught off guard for a moment.
He hadn't expected Salari to unleash such an attack without hesitation.
She didn't even seem concerned about whether Raditz might be seriously injured or killed by it.
