Looking at Talot, Salari and Raditz standing there quietly, Bulma finally couldn't hold back anymore. Amid Tights and Jaco's exclamations, she picked a Tree of Might's fruit. After scanning it with her own instruments, she skeptically took a small bite.
That single bite was already a tremendous tonic for Bulma.
Bulma clearly felt her energy and spirit elevate, as if her whole being had undergone a transformation and she was reborn.
Her skin became smoother, more radiant, and full of elasticity. The life aura within her body made her seem to forget the feeling of fatigue.
"The Tree of Might's fruit is truly amazing! Even I can feel as if there's an endless supply of strength in my body. It feels like I could casually lift hundreds of kilograms." Bulma said in disbelief.
As her words came out, Tights and Jaco exchanged glances.
They had originally been worried that something might happen to Bulma after eating it, but not only did nothing bad happen, it actually had a tremendous effect.
Just as Bulma was about to continue eating the Tree of Might's fruit, and Tights and Jaco were also getting tempted to pluck one, Talot woke up from his absorption and looked over.
He glanced at Bulma, inwardly marveling at her changes.
That single bite directly evolved Bulma's life level as a normal human being. Her power level, which at most had been 1, now reached at least 100.
"The fruit has enhanced your constitution and increased your strength. Your current power level is roughly around 100. You might as well use your virtual glasses to check your power level," Talot said to her.
These words shocked Bulma, and left Tights and Jaco dumbfounded.
While a power level of 100 might not mean much to powerhouses like Talot and the others, it was enough to turn an Earthling into a superhuman.
One bite, and a normal person instantly gains a hundredfold increase in strength.
Unbelievable!
She eagerly used her virtual glasses to measure her power level. Seeing the display show a power level of 110, Bulma was overjoyed.
But just as she was about to take a second bite, Talot stopped her.
"The life energy from the fruit still remains in your body and hasn't been fully absorbed yet. If you eat more now, your body won't be able to handle it," Talot said.
"Can't handle it? What would happen?!" Bulma asked immediately.
"Most likely, your body would explode and you'd die," Talot replied.
"Explode… and die?" Bulma shivered on the spot, and the fruit in her hand almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Talot reacted swiftly, appearing instantly to catch it.
"So just one bite is enough. Tights, you should eat a small piece too. The rest is for you, Jaco. Given your strength, finishing the rest of the fruit should be just about right."
He cut off a small piece of the fruit for Tights, then sliced off the part that Bulma had bitten, and tossed the remainder to the eagerly waiting Jaco.
Everyone gets a share, it was only fair to let him have a taste too. After all, it was thanks to him that they came here and ended up with Tree of Might's fruits to eat.
Clearly, this was like a gift from the heavens for Jaco, who excitedly devoured the fruit at once.
He knew well that he was just an average Galactic Patrolman. The energy contained in these fruits was too rich for him. Even if he ate more, his body couldn't absorb it and it would just go to waste.
Tights was the last to eat. Her cautious demeanor was a far cry from her former personality.
The old Tights used to be quite carefree. But it seemed that after traveling with Jaco for so many years, she had become more fearful and careful.
Once all three of them had eaten the fruit, Salari and Raditz also woke up shortly after.
It was obvious that after absorbing the Tree of Might's fruit, their strength had increased significantly.
Honestly, the Tree of Might falling into Turles's hands was nothing short of a waste.
…
On this side, Talot and the others were immersed in the joy brought by the power boost from the Tree of Might's fruit.
On the other side, what had happened here was also transmitted out through a scouter that hadn't been damaged earlier.
In the North Area.
A spaceship bearing the symbol of the Cooler Force was traveling through space.
The person inside the spaceship was none other than Cooler.
Ever since his battle with Talot, he had remained in the North Area, searching for that unusual technique of suddenly vanishing and then reappearing.
But up to this day, there had been no information whatsoever about this ability, which greatly frustrated Cooler, to the point where the destruction in the North Area grew more and more frequent.
Basically, whenever he passed a planet, if he found it displeasing in any way, he would destroy it, just to enjoy the fireworks-like spectacle.
In Cooler's own words, it was something he wanted, yet despite spending so much time, he still hadn't obtained it.
It was at that moment that a subordinate nervously approached him and reported the latest intelligence.
Hearing the details, Cooler's brow furrowed slightly.
"What did you say?! That Saiyan I recruited recently, the one called Turles, was killed by a few unknown Saiyans?!" Cooler exclaimed, completely losing his composure.
Though Turles's power level wasn't exceedingly strong, he still had a power level of over twenty thousand.
A few months ago, Cooler had passed by a planet, happened to run into Turles, and upon learning that he was a Saiyan, took an interest in him, intending to raise him like a pet dog.
Unexpectedly, the Saiyan who he had recruited on a whim, ended up dying so soon.
"Yes, Lord Cooler. According to the report we received, one of the Saiyans involved had a power level exceeding three hundred thousand," the subordinate added, suppressing the fear in his heart.
"You're saying that among those Saiyans, one had a power level over three hundred thousand?!" Upon hearing this, Cooler's pupils suddenly contracted.
A power level exceeding several hundred thousand instantly reminded him of Talot and his group.
Aside from them, could there still be surviving Saiyans in the universe with such high power levels?
He found it almost impossible to believe.
Not just one, but multiple...
"Wait a minute, don't tell me?!!" A sudden thought formed in his mind, and Cooler's eyes widened.
Such a thing had happened before.
So, it might be happening again!
An escape from death under Frieza's hand, was it now repeating itself under his own?!
