Chapter 285: The Gathered Saiyan Legion!
"Beep... beep... beep..."
"Detected Saiyan presence on Planet Em 416!"
On a high-level civilization planet, Vegeta and his team had seized control of the planet. Using its advanced technology, they developed a detector—not a power level scouter, but a device that could detect Saiyan bloodlines. This creation had taken them an entire year.
Now, as the detector was put to use for the first time, it immediately locked onto a target.
The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy.
This was an incredible breakthrough!
"Alright, the three of us will act separately. With our current power levels, we can handle things alone without much trouble," Vegeta instructed while preparing. At this moment, they were boarding their respective spaceships, ensuring no room for error in this mission.
The other two nodded in agreement.
Given their current power levels, dealing with lower-tier warriors would be a breeze.
In the past year, their strength had grown significantly:
Vegeta had officially surpassed a power level of 500,000.
Nappa had reached 230,000.
Raditz had climbed to 70,000.
This substantial growth gave them immense confidence. As long as they avoided Frieza's forces or the Saiyans on Earth, they could easily escape any situation.
This confidence was their foundation for venturing freely across the universe.
Raditz, boarding his spaceship, felt a wave of elation. Finally, he could escape the dominance of Vegeta and Nappa. With his current power level, he would be a supreme being among other Saiyans.
Saiyans had a common flaw: while they grew stronger through battles, they were also notoriously arrogant. Once their power reached a certain threshold, they often became complacent and lazy in their training.
This flaw had long hindered Saiyans from reaching their true potential.
The three had only achieved their current strength due to the relentless pressure from Frieza's forces.
While Vegeta continued to train diligently...
Nappa and Raditz had gradually begun to slack off.
After all, their current strength surpassed that of King Vegeta from the past. This comparison naturally dampened their motivation for further growth.

With three bursts of flame, the spaceships launched into the vastness of space.
Raditz stared at the dark expanse of space outside his window, eventually settling into hibernation mode.
"One month. It'll take one month to reach the destination. I can't wait to meet this Saiyan. I hope they won't disappoint me," he murmured.
---
A month passed quietly.
Raditz arrived at the destination planet. As he opened the spaceship hatch, he was greeted by a desolate landscape.
"As expected of a low-tier planet. There's no sign of advanced technology. But... the power levels here are decent," Raditz noted, lightly tapping his detector. The screen displayed numerous scattered numbers. Adjusting the detector's direction, a singular reading emerged.
"764... 632... 841... 1070..."
"Although this planet is classified as low-tier, its inhabitants' power levels barely meet the universal average. However, I still can't determine who the strongest is."
"A Saiyan, under normal circumstances, should be far stronger than this. Given this planet's high gravity and the presence of strong individuals, the Saiyan here should logically be the strongest."
As Raditz flew and searched, his detector suddenly flickered, settling on a relatively high reading.
"Got it!"
"1611..."
"This might be the strongest individual on this planet. Let's see if they're a Saiyan!"
Raditz quickly flew toward the source.
His presence had already attracted attention. However, the overwhelming aura he exuded deterred most from approaching him.
Deep within a mountain range, a rugged man with a tail looked up at the sky. His hair was jet-black but wild and untamed. He wore only tattered trousers, making him look almost like a savage.
"An intruder..." he muttered.
As Raditz approached, he noticed the man and couldn't suppress his excitement. This was the first Saiyan he had found.
"He's definitely a Saiyan!"
"To think I'd be the one to find him first. Lost Saiyan, heed my call. Return to the Saiyan race and reclaim what is rightfully ours!"
"Saiyan?" the man questioned.
"That's right. We belong to a mighty race known as the Saiyans! We're a warrior race, renowned for growing stronger through battle!" Raditz declared, revealing his tail as proof of their shared heritage.
This gesture resonated with the rugged Saiyan. Despite the vague memories of his implanted knowledge, seeing Raditz awakened a sense of kinship.
On this primitive planet, advanced space travel was impossible. Furthermore, he had never encountered anyone of his kind. Humans existed here, but none with tails like his.
Now, seeing Raditz, he felt an inexplicable connection.
"The Saiyan race..." he muttered. After learning more about the universe, he immediately decided to leave. He had long since reached the pinnacle of strength on this planet, but it wasn't enough.
He yearned to see the vastness of the universe!
With his decision made, Raditz beamed with satisfaction.
"You've made a wise choice!"
Thus, Vegeta's group gained another Saiyan.
---
Across the universe, scattered Saiyans were being gathered. Although their power levels weren't impressive—the strongest barely surpassing the threshold of elite warriors at 3,000—they represented hope.
After all, with effort, Saiyans rarely encountered true limits.
Over the years...
The Saiyan group grew larger and stronger. Even Vegeta's power had reached terrifying new heights.
However...
He had reached a bottleneck. Despite his relentless training, his progress was negligible. This realization led him to a crucial decision—it was time to unite all Saiyans!
