Dragon Ball: Escaping from Planet Vegeta

On Planet Yardrat.

The fierce battle between Talot and Cooler continued to intensify.

Their fight raged on, with the battlefield shifting back and forth between sky and ground.

It must be said that Cooler lived up to his name. Whether in terms of power level or discernment, he far surpassed Frieza.

Even without transforming, he could unleash a power level exceeding 250 million.

If not, how could he be clashing with Talot on equal footing now?

With a 50-fold increase from Super Saiyan Grade 1, Talot's power level also reached 250 million.

However, despite their matching numbers, Cooler was being thoroughly overpowered by Talot.

Since the start of the battle, both had taken some damage.

But it was obvious that Cooler bore more and deeper wounds, while Talot had only suffered superficial injuries.

They were still probing each other's true strength.

Arrogant as ever, Cooler had no intention of transforming. Over the course of more than ten exchanges, he gradually grasped Talot's strength; it was strong, but not so overwhelming that it required transformation to handle.

He saw this battle as a test of his limits. If he could defeat a Super Saiyan without transforming, it would prove that Super Saiyan was not so terrifying after all.

"Still not planning to transform? Then don't blame me for showing no mercy, Cooler!" With a deep shout, Talot erupted with power. His muscles produced a muffled sound, and his entire body became even more robust.

Super Saiyan 1, Grade 2!

His power level skyrocketed in an instant to 300 million.

"What?!" Feeling this sudden surge of pressure, Cooler's face changed dramatically.

Before he could react, Talot's crushing fist came down hard, landing on his face.

Struck head-on, Cooler was instantly sent flying thousands of meters away.

"Damn it! You wild monkey!!" The stinging pain on his face completely enraged Cooler.

Murderous intent arose in his heart; he no longer cared about testing himself. All he wanted now was to transform and thoroughly crush Talot, to make him suffer a fate worse than death.

Whoosh!! A piercing sound split the air.

Talot used Instant Transmission to appear behind Cooler, slamming down with a charged smash. Unable to dodge in time, Cooler once again took the hit, this time hurled toward the ground like a cannonball.

"Enough!!!" Cooler, burning with fury, steadied himself with a surge of energy. An icy blue aura enveloped him, and his aura steadily climbed.

"Transforming now? Too late!" Talot gave him no breathing room, instantly reappearing in front of him with another Instant Transmission.

Seeing Talot appear before him, Cooler's pupils shrank sharply. With no time to evade, he was forced into a defensive stance.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!... Talot's fierce and powerful attacks rained down like a storm.

Cooler defended with all his might, but even blocking the blows couldn't save him from the searing pain of each impact.

And as Talot's assault grew faster and fiercer, Cooler began to falter.

"Ha-aaahh!!" Talot roared, his emotions affected with the acceleration of his onslaught.

Under this relentless barrage, Cooler finally reached his limit, and his defense was completely broken.

A sharp gleam flashed in Talot's eyes as he unleashed one final, full-powered kick.

Boom!!!!

This time, Cooler face-planted hard into the ground.

The scene froze, and Talot no longer made a move.

This was merely Talot toying with Cooler, showing him just how conceited he truly was.

Make him suffer a bit so that he'll go all out in the battle.

"You wild monkey!! Die!!" Cooler roared in fury. As he got up, his eyes turned bloodshot with rage.

With a rapid wave of his hands, consumed by anger, he unleashed an enormous Death Flash, hurling it straight at Talot.

"Insignificant trick." Talot casually waved his hand, and his golden aura transformed into a violent storm, diverting the Death Flash's trajectory.

Still, the attack was indeed terrifying; it cleanly sliced through several distant mountains, leaving behind smooth cross-sections.

It was clear just how deadly that one strike from Cooler truly was.

Seeing his attack fail, Cooler's face turned ashen, humiliated beyond words.

But the assault didn't stop; he raised both hands high, unleashing telekinesis.

Rumble rumble~~!!!

In an instant, the earth trembled and dust billowed into the sky.

"Hm? What's this...?!!" Talot focused all his attention.

In his line of sight, the ground behind Cooler was being cut apart by an invisible force. A mountain was ripped from the earth under his control, rising into the clouds.

"Telekinesis, huh? But what good will that do?" Talot spat disdainfully.

The Frieza race, in addition to their naturally immense power levels and ability to survive in space, also possessed powerful telekinesis.

In the original work, Frieza had used this technique against Goku, and even in the later parts of Dragon Ball Super, during the Tournament of Power, Frieza's Telekinesis had played a crucial role. He even managed to momentarily restrain Toppo in his Destroyer Form.

Still, choosing the right move at the right moment was everything.

"Be crushed beneath my power!" Cooler hurled the massive mountain forward with both hands, aiming to smash Talot beneath it.

The sight was indeed overwhelming, but in terms of sheer size, to Talot, it was nothing more than a big rock.

He could destroy entire planets with a wave of his hand, what was one measly mountain in comparison?!

Even with enhanced strength from Telekinesis, it was still just a mountain!

Talot raised his hand and condensed a Spiraling Annihilation Bomb.

With a loud shout, he hurled it into the sky.

BOOM~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

An overwhelming energy explosion erupted out...
