"Approaching coordinates, approaching coordinates..."
Bardock was once again woken by the noisy intelligent alert. Its repetitive sound was like sharp needles piercing his mind over and over.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, which seemed to carry the vexation in his heart. Looking out through the cabin door's glass, Planet Zuno was just as it was in the original story when Jacque brought Bulma: a small, pale green planet slowly rotating and emitting a mysterious and unique light.
Bardock's spaceship landed on the plaza in front of a house. Bardock stepped out of the spaceship and approached the house, but was stopped just as he was about to enter.
The four guards shouted in unison, "What do you want?" Their eyes were filled with vigilance and arrogance.
Bardock smiled slightly at the four guards who had appeared in the original story and said calmly, "I'm here to ask Zuno some questions."
One of the guards took out a notebook, opened it, and looked at Bardock arrogantly as he said loudly, "State your name and where you are from."
Not wanting to cause more trouble, Bardock replied, "Bardock, from Saiyan Star."
The guard quickly flipped through the notebook, closed it, and said indifferently, "You don't have an appointment. You cannot go in to see Lord Zuno. You need to make an appointment and wait in line first."
Bardock's expression remained unchanged, and he patiently continued to ask, "If I make an appointment, how long will it take to see Zuno?"
The guard's reply was devoid of any warmth as he said, "Thirty-seven years. You can go back and wait."
Bardock was, of course, unwilling to wait. In thirty-seven years, his granddaughter Pan would almost be born. What would be the point of asking then! As expected, I'm still more suited to intimidation. I, a warrior race, finally try to be reasonable, and you don't appreciate it!
Bardock said angrily, "You are deliberately making things difficult!"
The four guards then assumed fighting stances and shouted in unison, "What do you want to do? It's not like no one has tried to force their way in over the years, but their endings weren't very good, I'm telling you!"
Bardock snorted coldly and threw an energy ball. Its powerful energy instantly engulfed all four of them. After the white smoke dissipated, four severely injured guards were revealed lying on the ground and groaning in pain.
One must consider the owner before beating his dog. This time, he had something to ask Zuno, so there was no need to kill them all and completely offend Zuno. A lesson was enough.
Bardock left those four words behind, "Nonsense!" then lifted his leg again and entered the house.
Inside the house, a fat man with his back to the door was sleeping on a bowl-shaped flying vehicle. Hearing footsteps, he grumbled, "Didn't I say no visitors today? Get out!"
Bardock chuckled softly and said, "Are you the Zuno who claims to be omniscient?"
Zuno turned over, opened his eyes, and was about to scold the intruder for being rude. But when he saw the person below, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he said with a trembling voice, "Ba... Ba... Ba... Bardock!"
Bardock was somewhat used to this fearful reaction now. Even Shenron on Earth reacted this way when he saw him last time.
Bardock's gaze was sharp as he fixed it intently on Zuno and said, "Zuno, since you claim to know everything, why didn't you know I was coming?"
Zuno hurriedly got off the flying vehicle and was about to kneel. His voice was somewhat fawning as he said, "Lord Bardock is joking. How could a humble person dare to predict Lord Bardock's whereabouts?"
Bardock quickly stopped Zuno, who was about to kneel. Before coming, he had thought of many ways Zuno might react to seeing him, but he never imagined he would kneel the moment he saw him. This was too illogical, even exceeding his reaction to seeing the Supreme Kai apprentice Zamasu in the original story. He had never been so respectful when he saw Zamasu.
Zuno took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and stood respectfully beside Bardock as he said, "Lord Bardock, have you come for something today?"
Bardock said, "Yes, I have some questions I need your help to answer."
Unable to figure it out, Bardock decided to put it aside for now and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
Zuno breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Oh, so Lord Bardock has come to ask questions. I thought Lord Bardock had come to..." At this point, Zuno quickly closed his mouth, seemingly realizing that some things should not be said.
Zuno continued, "However, due to some special reasons, please forgive me, but I can only answer three of your questions. If there are more, I cannot speak them."
Bardock didn't mind. He had only planned to ask if his hypothesis about Super Saiyan was correct, and now he was getting two extra questions for free. Zuno also didn't ask Bardock for a kiss, unlike Bulma in the original story. If he dared to ask Bardock for a kiss, he would probably have to learn from Zamasu in the original story and be coerced by force.
Bardock asked directly, "Zuno, how much do you know about the Saiyan lineage?"
Zuno asked tentatively, "Uh, Lord Bardock, is this your first question?"
Bardock grew impatient seeing Zuno's dawdling and said, "Stop wasting time. Tell me everything you know, and remember, everything!" Bardock thought, I really want to kill him!
Zuno wiped his cold sweat again and responded hastily, "Yes, yes, yes."
Zuno said, "The full name of Super Saiyan is Legendary Super Saiyan. It is said to be a genius warrior that appears once every thousand years in the Saiyan race. Actually, that's not true. In the Ancient Era, Super Saiyan was the normal state for every Saiyan. Therefore, Saiyans in the Ancient Era were extremely powerful, warlike, and brutal, suppressing all races in the eighteen universes of that era, preventing them from rising up."
Bardock frowned and interrupted, "All eighteen universes were suppressed? Is it really that powerful?"
Zuno nodded quickly and continued, "Yes, Lord, it is indeed so. As time passed, the Violent Cells in the Saiyans' bodies gradually thinned. In the Ancient Era, other races in the other universes united and rebelled, driving the Saiyans back to their home universe."
Zuno continued, "By the recent past, the Violent Cells in Saiyans had entered a dormant phase, only entering a semi-awakened state when stimulated by Blutz Waves. The Saiyan territory was lost again, and they were finally forced to retreat to their home Planet Salad. At that time, the Saiyans called this form 'Great Ape transformation,' and the power increase for most Saiyans in Great Ape transformation was only tenfold."
Bardock pressed, "What happened then?"
Zuno swallowed and continued, "Later, the Saiyans gradually adapted to this change and began to explore other methods of increasing their power."
Bardock stroked his chin and said, "It seems this is how the ordinary golden-haired Super Saiyan came to be. But the legend of Super Saiyan has always circulated among the Saiyans, becoming a desired yet elusive existence..."
