The battle on this side had ended, and elsewhere, East Supreme Kai severed his telepathic link with North Kai.
Then, he stepped forward and began a round of fervent praise.
After that, East Supreme Kai relayed North Kai's message to Talot and the other two, which immediately caught them off guard.
Although some things had happened over the past six months, this time was indeed different.
Especially since it involved Bojack, the big boss from the movie.
According to the timeline, Bojack was freed from his seal only after Cell was killed, taking advantage of North Kai's death.
Unexpectedly, in this era, Bojack was already beginning to stir, eager to come out and commit evil.
However, for Talot, this was good news.
Right now, he lacked worthy opponents, and North Kai bringing this up so proactively was clearly a way to ask for his help in resolving the problem.
As it happened, Talot and others had just wrapped up their training in the Sacred World of the Kai.
Originally, they had planned to return and rest for a while, especially since in four months, the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament would be held; the very same time Vegeta would arrive on Earth.
Half a year ago, through Bulma's message, the three had learned that Vegeta and Nappa had encountered Jaco and Tights and were heading toward Earth.
From that time on, Talot had asked North Kai to help track them, also confirming the exact time Vegeta would land.
All in all, everything had lined up neatly.
After bidding farewell to East Supreme Kai and the Old Supreme Kai, Talot and the other two left the Sacred World of the Kai together.
They arrived on North Kai's Planet.
At the moment, North Kai was pacing back and forth with a grave expression.
That was until he saw Talot, Salari, and Raditz.
After a round of discussion, they were able to pin down the specifics.
In short, Bojack's gang of pirates had been attacking the seal for some time now, and if they continued, it wouldn't be long before they broke free.
Talot already knew the gist; after all, he was a transmigrator, but Salari and Raditz did not, and this news ignited their fighting spirit.
The last time they had fought King Cold, they had been defeated. Now, their strength had increased to the point of matching King Cold's strength after transformation. A strong opponent was great news for them.
When your strength improves, who doesn't want to prove themselves?
Especially since Salari and Raditz had only been able to spar with each other all this time. East Supreme Kai and Kibito did have a certain level of power, but their combat ability wasn't impressive.
Although Salari and Raditz couldn't beat them, those fights held no real benefit to them, so in the end, their only real battles were with Talot, which was basically one-sided beatdowns.
…
On a dark planet at the very edge of the galaxy.
This planet was called Kina Star.
It was the prison planet created long ago by the combined power of the East, South, West, and North Kai together with the Grand Kai, specifically to imprison Bojack and his gang.
On Kina Star.
At this moment, Bojack, together with his subordinates Zangya, Kogu, Bujin, and Bido, were continuously unleashing energy beams, striking at the energy barrier in the sky.
After countless years of erosion, the barrier was no longer as solid as it had once been. Under the combined energy output of Bojack's five-person team, cracks slowly began to spread.
Although each attempt only broke a tiny bit, over time it had added up.
Once they shattered this barrier, they would regain their freedom and never have to remain in this desolate, forsaken place.
"Soon, we'll see the light of day again. The moment we break through the seal will be the time for payback! Kais, your retribution is coming!" A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in Bojack's eyes, the flames of rage burning in his chest.
Having been sealed away for so many years, he had never stopped thinking about how to grind those high-and-mighty Kais into dust.
After another round of attack, Bojack's four subordinates ceased their attacks.
Bojack immediately spoke. "Rest here in place. In one hour, we'll resume our assault on the seal."
At Bojack's command, Kogu, Bujin, Zangya, and Bido halted their energy output and rested where they stood.
The four of them were absolutely loyal to Bojack.
First, because their strength was far inferior to his, and second, because Bojack was their leader and their big brother.
It was while they were resting.
At the same time, on a slope not far from them.
Guided by North Kai, Talot used Instant Transmission to bring Salari and Raditz to Kina Star.
In fact, they had arrived long ago; they had simply been observing the whole time, watching Bojack's group try to destroy the seal.
"At this speed of destruction, it would take at least ten years of working day and night before they would be able to break it," Talot said after examining the seal in the sky.
Judging from the situation, perhaps in the original work's storyline, their breaking of the seal and arrival on Earth wasn't entirely due to North Kai's death.
It was simply a matter of timing. North Kai's death gave them the opportunity to seize the moment and break through in one go.
In truth, there was no need for North Kai to be in such a hurry.
Even if cracks had appeared in the seal, so what? This was hardly significant.
Still, Talot said nothing, because since North Kai wanted them to deal with Bojack's group, he might as well use them as stepping stones.
"Didn't think Lord Kai was actually telling the truth. He originally had much greater strength, but he was greatly weakened after he and the other Kais sealed these people," Raditz said as he cracked his knuckles. "Seriously, if he'd told us sooner, we could've come to meet these guys long ago instead of spending all our time in boring training."
Saiyans were naturally warlike. When they encountered powerful opponents, they couldn't help but want to fight.
Confident in his own strength, Raditz wasn't worried at all about losing like he had against King Cold last time.
"So that one leading them is Bojack? Even just sensing his surface aura, he's clearly extraordinary. Just like Lord Kai said, this guy is much stronger than King Cold," Salari said cautiously as she took out the virtual glasses, putting it on to measure Bojack's current power level.
Power level: 2 billion.
Just the number alone was twice that of King Cold!
