"Whoosh."
Soya, along with the cube and everyone inside it, vanished from their original location in an instant, as if they had never been there.
In the blink of an eye, Soya and the cube reappeared high above Earth, surrounded by the familiar scenery of the starry sky.
However, the point in time Soya had arrived at was eight months after that moment in the previous timeline.
Because Soya and the others did not interfere with the battle between the adult Raditz, Son Goku, and the others, Earth eight months later was almost no different from the original Dragon Ball storyline.
Right at the moment Soya and the others appeared.
"Whoosh. Whoosh."
In the starry sky, two gleaming balls of light, trailing long fiery tails, were speeding towards Earth at an astonishing velocity.
"Are those... spaceships?" Raditz pointed at the two light balls, looked at the spherical spaceships, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"The people on the ships... seem to be me and Vegeta from this era." Nappa rubbed his eyes, peered carefully in the direction of the spaceships, the more he looked, the more they resembled.
Vegeta remained silent, merely staring intently at the two spaceships, his gaze sharpening.
So soon?
It seems we really have traveled through time...
At this very moment, Vegeta and Nappa's spaceships were also roaring towards Earth, their target clear.
However, the sudden appearance of Soya and the others along with that strange cube in the starry sky did cause a bit of surprise for Vegeta and Nappa inside the ships.
Both of them clearly saw Soya and the others appearing in the starry sky.
"Prince Vegeta, do you see that?" Nappa suddenly asked, his tone carrying a trace of confusion and shock. "Why do I think I see us from when we were children? And that cube, it's so strange."
"Hmph, I see it." Vegeta said flatly, but his brow furrowed slightly, clearly also puzzled by what was happening.
"What exactly is going on? Is it an illusion?" Nappa was somewhat perplexed, rubbing his eyes vigorously, afraid he was seeing things.
"Do you remember Raditz's strange dialogue eight months ago? He mentioned some inexplicable people at the time." Vegeta snorted, a hint of contemplation in his eyes, as if recalling some key information.
"Did Raditz encounter them too? No wonder what he said back then was so strange." Nappa had a sudden realization, slapped his own head, finally understanding.
"It's not impossible. Perhaps they've been secretly observing us all along." Vegeta chuckled lightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "After we land in a while, I'll go up there and see who they really are."
"But, they seem to be in space, inside some strange cube... How do we get up there?" Nappa said gravely, looking up at the high altitude, somewhat troubled.
"They'll come down. They can't possibly just stay up there watching the show during such an exciting event." The corner of Vegeta's mouth lifted, revealing a confident smile, as if everything was under his control.
"Boom."
The two spaceships, like two burning meteors, tore through Earth's atmosphere with a piercing shriek, crashing directly onto the city below.
The tremendous impact force caused the ground to shake violently, instantly creating two large craters on the ground. The surrounding buildings swayed as if about to collapse.
The people in the city were all startled. Many were knocked to the ground by the sudden impact, and some were directly knocked unconscious.
However, many people suppressed their fear and immediately ran to the edges of the craters, craning their necks, curious and nervous, peering inside, wanting to see what had fallen.
"That startled me. What was that just now? Did something fall?" A man in a suit adjusted his glasses, said with lingering fear.
"There really is something. Such a big crater." The woman next to him pointed at the crater, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's a round thing. Looks like it's made of metal." Someone shouted loudly, eyes wide open.
"There's one here too. Exactly the same as that one." Exclamations came from another direction.
Many citizens on the scene gathered together, discussing animatedly, their faces showing shock and confusion, completely unaware of what had happened.
"Click."
The hatch of the spaceship slowly opened, emitting a crisp mechanical sound.
Vegeta and Nappa flew out of the spaceship, hovering in mid air, coldly scanning the crowd below.
"People. People came out of that round thing." Someone was the first to spot them, exclaimed.
"People came out. Who are they? How did they come out of something that fell from the sky?"
"They look so fierce, so scary."
The people on the scene were utterly shocked, stepping back several paces, their eyes filled with fear and curiosity.
"So this is Earth? Doesn't look like much." Vegeta glanced around, a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Hmph. Greeting these weak little flies is really beneath us." Nappa gave a contemptuous smile, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes, casually raising a finger upwards.
"Boom."
With a deafening roar, the energy released by Nappa instantly erupted.
The entire city turned to dust in the blink of an eye. The once lively streets instantly became deathly silent.
...
Seeing Nappa's action, Raditz and Vegeta on the cube immediately turned to look at the Nappa beside them, a trace of helplessness in their eyes.
This guy is still the same, always likes to solve problems with such simple, brutal actions.
Back when Soya used Exchange Teleportation to return him to Planet Vegeta, this idiot used this skill, nearly getting him executed by King Vegeta. Never thought he still hasn't changed.
"Nappa, after all these years, you really haven't changed a bit, still love causing destruction." Raditz laughed, patted Nappa's shoulder, a teasing tone in his voice.
Nappa hung his head, embarrassedly gave a silly smile, scratched his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
...
"Hahaha, was my greeting a bit too enthusiastic?" Nappa looked down at the city turned to dust, laughed maniacally, his laughter full of madness and satisfaction.
"Don't go too far, Nappa." Vegeta scolded irritably, his brow tightly furrowed. "If you damage this planet too much, we won't be able to sell it for a high price later. How are we supposed to make money?"
"No problem." Nappa smiled carelessly. "Don't worry, Prince Vegeta. As long as we can find those wish granting orbs, nothing else matters."
"It's Dragon Balls. Remember their name, you idiot." Vegeta snorted coldly, a hint of impatience in his tone. "First, we find the one who killed Raditz, ask him about the Dragon Balls' whereabouts. Also, if the Dragon Balls were nearby and got destroyed by your little greeting just now, our wish for immortality is ruined. All because of your brutish greeting."
