Chapter 286: The Arrival of Vegeta's Army!
Boom!
The Seventh Universe's Earth.
Today witnessed an unprecedented scene. One spaceship after another descended upon the planet, a spectacle so astonishing that it left people utterly dumbfounded.
Although Earth had been developing rapidly in recent years, with even outer space gradually coming into focus, this was the first time so many spaceships had appeared at once.
"Are those... aliens?"
"So many aliens descending at once—could it be they've heard of Earth's reputation and come from afar?"
Many ordinary people curiously observed the scene from a distance, too intimidated to approach. Yet, the sudden arrival of so many spaceships piqued their curiosity.
One by one, the spaceship doors opened.
One figure after another emerged.
Each individual was tall, imposing, and radiated an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"So, this is Earth?"
The first to step out was Nappa, whose battle power had reached over a million after years of combat. He was now considered one of the strongest Saiyans—second only to Vegeta.
Vegeta, surrounded like a star in the center of the galaxy, moved forward. This was his first time seeing Earth. At a glance, he didn't spot any particularly powerful individuals.
"Earth... the location of another group of Saiyans, and they seem to have a deep connection with Frieza. If we can unify all Saiyans, perhaps one day we might even exact revenge!"
"However..."
"Where have these Saiyans gone?"
The moment the Saiyans appeared on Earth, they were already under surveillance. In fact, not only were they monitored the moment they entered Earth's atmosphere, but even when Vegeta's small group began searching for other Saiyans, Mu Chuan had been observing everything.
Not long ago, Mu Chuan had even specifically sent a message to Karl.
Though Mu Chuan had been training in Zeno's palace, thanks to the Grand Priest's permission, he could freely travel between universes and was sometimes assigned specific tasks. It was through this authority that he noticed Vegeta's movements. However, given his current strength, he wasn't particularly concerned. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he issued a subtle warning.
At this moment, several Saiyans stood atop the Lookout, observing the events below.
"Just as the boss said, a group of Saiyans has landed!"
"This scene feels both familiar and strange. It's been so long since something like this happened. It's like we've returned to the days before Planet Vegeta was destroyed—back when Saiyans were still full of ambition!"
"But now... everything is different."
"The one leading them must be the Saiyan Prince Vegeta, as the boss mentioned, right?"
"In the past, we'd have had to bow when we saw him. But now, things are completely different."
"Let's go meet them. We'll bring Son Goku along too."
Karl beckoned the others to join him. By now, their mindsets had changed entirely. They were seasoned individuals who had witnessed grander events.
Moreover, based on the techniques they now possessed, they could easily gauge the strength of the arriving Saiyans through their energy.
Still...
What surprised them was the sheer number of surviving Saiyans—so many gathered together. This was truly unexpected.
Everyone knew Planet Vegeta had been destroyed.
Who would have thought such a grand scene could still occur?
Over a hundred Saiyans in total.
Vegeta and his group had initially planned to act cautiously. After all, their scouters had detected many strong individuals on Earth. With the assistance of the Kami, Earth had long become a hub for martial arts, with countless individuals boasting battle power exceeding a thousand.
Among them were numerous formidable martial artists. This made the Saiyans wary; the planet seemed far from ordinary.
However...
Just as they were about to make their move, several figures appeared before them. These individuals also wore battle armor, but theirs was far more advanced, exuding a high-tech aura.
Even without releasing their energy, their overwhelming presence sent chills down everyone's spines.
Upon closer inspection—
Tails!
They had tails too!
Vegeta's pupils shrank. He quickly realized that this group of sudden arrivals must be the Saiyans living on Earth.
"The prince hasn't even sought you out, and you've already come knocking. Interesting!"
Vegeta crossed his arms and slowly scanned the group. Behind him, his comrades activated their scouters.
The scouters showed the newcomers' battle power as only a few hundred.
"Only a few hundred battle power?"
"These are the surviving Saiyans? Could there be some mistake?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had always heard Vegeta describe this group of surviving Saiyans as incredibly powerful.
But now...
How could their battle power be only a few hundred?
Vegeta was equally stunned. He quickly picked up his scouter, and upon seeing the results, he was at a loss for words.
This didn't make sense!
How could this be?
These individuals had previously displayed terrifying strength. Remote surveillance had long revealed their interactions with Frieza's army.
The power they exhibited was enough to make Frieza wary. How could they now show such low battle power?
Something was definitely wrong!
As Vegeta and his group hesitated, caught off guard by the situation, Greta found it amusing. Observing the outdated method of using scouters to gauge strength, he chuckled.
"How nostalgic..."
"Old-fashioned scouters. It seems they know something, but their knowledge is incomplete."
"Should we intervene?" Greta asked Karl, his tone playful. After all, he had already assessed their strength using his own techniques. The strongest among them was Vegeta, while the others were hardly worth mentioning.
Even Vegeta couldn't compare to Son Goku from the Tournament of Power years ago. The gap was simply too vast.
Different platforms naturally lead to different growth trajectories.
Their perspectives had been limited.
"No need..."
"If we act, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Besides, we have someone who's a true martial arts enthusiast—let him handle it."
Karl's words were self-explanatory. He was referring to Son Goku, the battle-loving Saiyan. Even after the Tournament of Power, Goku frequently sought out opponents to fight, regardless of danger.
It was a constant source of both amusement and frustration. Even fellow Saiyans found it hard to keep up with his enthusiasm.
