"Who are you?" Vegeta looked at him sideways, his tone carrying a bit of vigilance and disdain.
"Hey, are you my biological father?" Raditz didn't care about that, directly throwing out the question in his heart, his eyes full of expectation and nervousness.
Big Raditz: "..."
Big Raditz's face instantly darkened, veins throbbing on his temples.
What do you mean I am your biological father?
I don't even have a girlfriend, how could I have such a big son?
"Negative emotional value from Big Raditz +666!"
"Are you kidding me?" Big Raditz snorted unhappily, his tone full of speechlessness.
Who would actively claim someone as their dad?
I don't want to inexplicably have such a big "son" out of nowhere.
"What is your name? I have never seen you before!" Vegeta snorted coldly, asking again, his gaze carrying scrutiny.
"I am... I am Raditz." Big Raditz hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully.
"Raditz?" Vegeta was stunned, instinctively looking at the Raditz beside him.
Raditz: "????"
You're called Raditz, then what am I called?
This guy... could he also be a Destroyer pretending to be me?
That can't be right...
Would a Destroyer be so bored as to turn into my appearance?
"Prince Vegeta... what exactly is going on? Why have you become so small?" Big Raditz looked at the Vegeta who appeared only a few years old, even more confused, and couldn't help but ask.
"Become small?" Vegeta was slightly stunned, not immediately understanding his meaning.
"And, who are you, kid? Why do you feel like my childhood self?" Big Raditz took another step forward, scrutinizing Raditz carefully, his eyes filled with inquiry.
"My childhood self?" Raditz's mouth twitched, a sudden realization dawning in his heart.
This... this is me after growing up?
After all this time, I thought it was my dad, gave me a scare.
It seems, my dad really is Bardock.
"Boss, what exactly is going on here?" Raditz turned his head to look at Soya, his face full of confusion as he asked.
"If nothing unexpected, we should have arrived 24 years into the future, in another parallel world." Soya pondered for a moment, then slowly explained.
"A parallel world 24 years later?"
Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa looked at each other, their faces all written with astonishment.
Is such an operation even possible?
"This parallel world has no me in it." Soya added with a smile, his tone flat.
"A parallel world without Soya?" Vegeta fell into silent contemplation, his eyes flickering, as if imagining what that world would be like.
"Ah? This world has no boss you?" Raditz was stunned.
Nappa also looked shocked.
There really is a parallel world without Soya's existence!
"Boss?" Big Raditz was completely baffled, looking Soya up and down, his heart full of doubt.
My childhood self... actually calls this strange man "boss"?
Is this a joke?
What do you take Prince Vegeta for?
"This cube is..." Big Raditz looked again at the rapidly moving flight cube, feeling more and more that something was wrong. The material and speed of this cube were definitely not something ordinary technology could achieve.
"Hey, my grown-up self, do you really not know Boss Soya?" Raditz looked up at Big Raditz and asked curiously.
"No... I have never heard of this person." Big Raditz shook his head, his tone certain.
"What about Planet Vegeta? Why is it gone?" Vegeta pulled the topic back again, his gaze sharp as he stared at Big Raditz. "Was it destroyed by that guy Frieza?"
"Huh? Lord Frieza?" Big Raditz was slightly taken aback, a confused expression appearing on his face. "Why would he destroy our planet? Our planet... wasn't it destroyed by a meteorite impact?"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta fell silent, his expression turning even uglier.
It seems that in this parallel world without Soya, Planet Vegeta ultimately still failed to escape the fate of being destroyed by Frieza.
And that shameless bastard Frieza actually fabricated a lie like "meteorite impact" to cover up the truth!
"It seems the planet really was destroyed by that guy Frieza." Raditz stroked his chin and said in a grave tone, carrying anger.
"Was it Frieza who destroyed our planet? How come I didn't know?" Big Raditz looked bewildered, clearly having been kept in the dark for a long time.
"Let's put that aside for now." Vegeta frowned slightly and asked again, "How many Saiyans are still alive currently?"
"Surviving Saiyans... there are only three of us left." Big Raditz thought about it and replied.
"I'm alive too?" Nappa, hearing this, immediately became somewhat excited, his tone carrying a hint of relief.
Big Raditz nodded lightly, confirming his words.
"Besides, Prince Vegeta's younger brother and my younger brother should both still be alive." Big Raditz added, continuing, "This time I took the spaceship to go to Earth, to find my younger brother Kakarot."
"Earth? Kakarot?" Raditz fell into thought.
It seems that in this parallel world, Kakarot was still sent to Earth as originally.
"Why are you looking for Kakarot?" Raditz asked curiously.
"Recently we discovered a relatively large planet. I discussed it with the Prince Vegeta and Nappa of our time, and felt that attacking with just three people would be a bit troublesome. So I thought of Kakarot, and wanted to bring him along to attack that planet together." Big Raditz answered truthfully, a trace of matter-of-factness on his face.
"Boss, what do you think?" Raditz turned his head to ask Soya's opinion.
"It's fine to go to Earth and take a look. Kakarot should be grown up by now." Soya nodded, an expectant smile appearing on his face.
"Soya, you said before that Kakarot's strength would surpass mine in the future!" Vegeta, hearing this, immediately snorted, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Correct, Kakarot's potential is enormous. Surpassing you is absolutely no problem." Soya smiled slightly, his tone firm.
"Then, he should be 27 years old now, right?" Vegeta immediately became interested, a competitive glint flashing in his eyes. "I am only 5 years old now. For 5-year-old me to challenge 27-year-old him, that's not excessive, is it?"
"Excessive." Soya answered succinctly.
Vegeta: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Vegeta +666!"
For 5-year-old me to challenge 27-year-old Kakarot, that's still excessive?
Aren't you just messing with me?
"The you of this era should challenge the Kakarot of this era for it to be fair." Soya explained with a smile. "After all, the current you achieved your current level through my training. It's not fair to him."
