Dragon Ball: Escaping from Planet Vegeta

When it comes to words, Cooler uses talk of life and death to mentally shake you and make you submit. But with fists, he doesn't completely crush you, instead, he wants to put you in a state where you can't live or die.

"With such a weak punch, how could you possibly challenge me?! You're underestimating me far too much." Cooler sneered darkly and suddenly unleashed his power.

In an instant, Talot felt an overwhelming force crash down on him. He was blown away by this brute strength, without suspense.

Just as he barely managed to steady himself, Cooler launched another attack.

"Break!!!" Seizing the opportunity, Cooler rushed forward with explosive energy and aimed a fully charged kick at Talot's face.

If that kick landed, Talot would definitely be crippled!

With no time to dodge, Talot had no choice but to cross his fists in front of him to block.

'Boom~~!!!!' The fierce and tyrannical force stirred ripples in the air.

The sheer impact of the kick once again sent Talot flying hundreds of meters away, crashing through a towering mountain before finally coming to a stop.

Feeling the excruciating pain coursing through his arms as if they were about to be torn into pieces, Talot gritted his teeth. The overwhelming pressure made it hard for him to even breathe.

The difference in power really was huge!

A gap of over 200 million in power level. Anyone else would already be half-dead.

Cooler's current strength could probably be compared to the Androids from the future.

However, Talot's body was incredibly tough. This was closely related to his constant absorption of natural energy to temper and strengthen himself.

His battle instincts awakened, and the pain slowly turned into pleasure, making him increasingly excited.

And Cooler's attacks were far from over.

That massive figure quickly tore through the air again, launching a ferocious assault like a torrential rainstorm.

Stimulated, Talot's battle spirit surged. The power of the Great Ape within him had already begun to overflow, making him completely fearless as he engaged Cooler head-on.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …'

The battlefield kept shifting as Cooler and Talot engaged in a fierce fight.

This time, the situation was completely different from before. Although Talot was now intentionally or unintentionally tapping into the power of the Great Ape, Cooler still held the absolute upper hand.

First, there was the overwhelming gap in their power level.

Second, Cooler, having transformed into his final form, had completely changed his combat style. Every strike now targeted Talot's weak points.

His upgraded combat techniques were strange and unpredictable, each move containing hidden dangers. He was fast and brutal!

[Just because of that last clash, the trajectory of fate got disrupted, and Cooler's strength has actually reached this level?!] Talot focused entirely on defense. After just a few brief exchanges, he had already gauged Cooler's current power level.

All in all, a power level above 600 million was terrifying, but fortunately it seemed to be only between 600 and 700 million.

Otherwise, he'd be nearly impossible to handle.

One thing was clear. Cooler's race must never be given time to adapt. If they're allowed to, they'll just keep growing stronger and stronger.

This time, Cooler must be eliminated!

Otherwise, who knows how powerful Cooler might eventually become?!

"What's wrong?! Weren't you acting all brave just a moment ago? Is this all the strength a Super Saiyan has? Then keep dancing!" Cooler continued his assault while taunting Talot for being weak.

At the same time, an incredibly bizarre powerful punch was thrown at Talot from an extremely tricky angle.

'Bang!!!!' A muffled explosion echoed.

Then came a scene that Cooler couldn't believe.

His punch was supposed to hit Talot in the waist, but Talot caught it with one hand!

'Whooosh~~!!' Emerald-green flames burst out, wrapping around Talot's body and blending perfectly with his golden aura, causing his aura to skyrocket in an instant and sharply increasing his strength.

The power of the Great Ape was fully unleashed!

"What?!" Sensing the shift in Talot's aura, Cooler's blood-red pupils narrowed slightly.

He tried to pull his fist back, but Talot's grip was so strong that he couldn't break free. His fist was locked tight, and he couldn't budge it at all.

With the help of the power of Great Ape, Talot's strength doubled. His power level soared to 800 million! A complete, overwhelming advantage over the current Cooler.

The situation had changed, and offense and defense switched roles!

"Felt good beating me up earlier, didn't it? I've already figured out your strength. Now it's my turn." As the words left his mouth, Talot launched his counterattack.

With the power of Great Ape boosting him, his speed and strength underwent a qualitative leap. His fierce assault poured down on Cooler like a torrential storm of steel petals.

Faced with this dense and fierce barrage, Cooler quickly fell into a disadvantage, shocked at the sudden surge in Talot's power.

Back when he first encountered Talot, he could easily toy with him with his final form's 470 million power level, and crush him like an ant.

But now, even though Cooler himself had become stronger, he was the one being suppressed!

"Don't be ridiculous!! How could you possibly be stronger than me?! You damn monkey!!!" Unwilling to accept the reality, Cooler swiftly raised his hand and fired a Death Laser in an attempt to reverse the situation.

The roaring energy blast surged toward Talot. Visually, it looked like Talot was swallowed by the attack, but that wasn't actually the case.

The moment Cooler fired the energy blast, Talot had already used Instant Transmission and appeared behind him.

"Damn it, that Instant Transmission move again!" Cooler felt the threat from behind and tried to counterattack immediately, but he was 0.1 seconds too late.

Talot grabbed his tail with both hands, smirked playfully, and unleashed a burst of power, spinning like a tornado at high speed with Cooler in tow, making him lose control over his own body.

At this moment, Cooler was like a toy, being played with by Talot.

This situation enraged Cooler to the extreme. He wanted nothing more than to tear Talot limb from limb.

But no matter how he adjusted his stance, Cooler couldn't change the current reality.

"Up you go!" Talot shouted, then let go of Cooler.

Under the influence of immense force, Cooler flew backward like a kite with its string cut, completely out of control.

Only after a long while did he manage to recover, steadying himself with a burst of energy.

Furious once more, he prepared to counterattack, but before he could act, Talot again used Instant Transmission and reappeared behind him.

Talot was mocking him by doing exactly what Cooler had done earlier.

"The same attack won't work on me twice!!" Cooler, anticipating it, quickly turned and fired a Death Beam.

Talot paid no mind to the energy blast. In the next instant, his figure suddenly vanished again from the spot.

"What?!" Another miss. Cooler didn't even have time to react before he felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he braced to strike back, a powerful force slammed into him, launching him straight into the sky.

The searing pain from his back sent shockwaves through Cooler's nervous system, intensifying his murderous rage toward Talot.

Talot stopped playing around. This time, he chose to press the advantage, locked onto Cooler soaring skyward, and fired a tremendously powerful Energy Cannon that hit dead-on.

'BOOM~~!!!!'

The explosion in the sky was like a terrifying super-nuclear explosion. A mushroom cloud towered in the sky and the resulting shockwave tore through the atmosphere, enough to upend everything in its path.

Blazing flames engulfed the sky, painting the earth blood red. The ground within a hundred-mile radius shook violently from the massive blast.

What a shocking sight. How unbelievable it was!

Everyone watching was utterly stunned, not even daring to breathe.

This was the battle between warriors with power levels breaking into the 600 to 700 million range!

Of course, others might not know, but Talot did. An attack of this level wasn't enough to kill Cooler.

After all, Cooler's race had such tenacious vitality that even with half a body left, they could still survive. At most, this move would give Cooler a hard time.
