"I understand," Amela nodded quietly as they were preparing to exit the Chamber. "Even though Bardock was technically a low-class warrior, his strong willpower and resilience remained legendary on Planet Vegeta. I always respected him for that."
"Bardock's strength was beyond what anyone expected of his rank."
She sighed softly. "But everyone knows his sons were born as low-class trash. They probably don't have much potential left. If we are truly going to rebuild our race and avenge our planet, our best hope is Prince Vegeta."
"If he is still alive, that changes everything. But if he finds out Frieza destroyed our planet, he is going to go berserk."
Shin shook his head. "He won't react like that right away. Don't worry. Are you fully recovered?"
When they first entered the Chamber, Shin had given Amela plenty of space to practice Ki sensing without interference. Meanwhile, he had focused on analyzing his own biological integration.
He discovered an interesting limitation. When he converted all of his multiversal abilities strictly into Saiyan Ki, his baseline Power Level capped out at exactly 10,000. He couldn't push his raw, natural Saiyan power any higher through conversion alone.
However, thanks to the immense chakra of the Ten-Tails, Shin essentially possessed infinite Ki and infinite stamina. In practical terms, he was operating on the exact same principles as an Infinite Energy Android.
By actively flaring his Ki, his maximum output reached 12,000—solidly surpassing his sister.
But Shin had also tested his ultimate trump card: the Eight Inner Gates.
To his surprise, his Saiyan physiology could only handle up to the Second Gate before the strain became too severe. However, even just opening the Second Gate provided a massive 30% boost to his overall strength.
This meant Shin's maximum combat Power Level was hovering around 15,600.
With that kind of power, he didn't need to exert dominance. His strength naturally demanded his sister's respect.
Amela had no idea about his hidden trump cards.
"Yeah, I am ready," Amela said, cracking her neck. "I know you are stronger than me now, and I acknowledge you have the right to lead. But I am warning you: I won't follow any idiotic orders."
"That won't be a problem," Shin smiled. "I am going to keep testing your limits until you surpass me again."
"R-Right. Got it," Amela stammered, caught slightly off guard by his genuine support.
The two siblings walked side-by-side out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. As the heavy doors moved open, they immediately locked eyes with Goku and Piccolo.
Shin gestured toward Goku. "Amela, this is Son Goku. Or, as he is known on our home world, Kakarot. He is Uncle Bardock's youngest son."
Amela examined Goku critically. "So you are Kakarot? You really do look exactly like Bardock."
"That is natural," Shin noted.
Goku was lost. "What is a Kakarot? Who is Bardock?"
His expression quickly hardened. "What exactly did you come to Earth for? I am willing to believe we might be related, but that doesn't mean anything to me! I know you aren't here to do anything good!"
Shin chuckled, raising his hands in a placating gesture. "We actually came here with good intentions. But if you are going to be hostile right out of the gate, there isn't much I can do."
"I know it is hard for you to accept the truth," Shin continued calmly. "But the reality is exactly as I said. We are Saiyans. We are a warrior race from deep space."
"However, our home planet was annihilated by a terrifying tyrant. Honestly, the whole situation is incredibly depressing."
Shin pointed directly at Goku. "But Kakarot, I need you to listen to me carefully. You are a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta. Your father's name was Bardock. And you have an older brother named Raditz."
"That idiot brother of yours is going to arrive on this planet very soon."
Goku's jaw dropped. "Why is he coming here?"
"Because he is following orders," Shin explained. "I honestly don't know exactly what he plans to say to you, but his original mission—the reason he is coming here—is to exterminate all life on Earth."
"And since I am here now, the situation has become incredibly complicated."
Goku clenched his fists. "Why would my own brother want to destroy Earth..."
"Because it is tied to the tyrant who destroyed our planet," Shin said. "You should probably listen closely to this as well, Piccolo. It concerns the fate of the entire planet."
"Hmph," Piccolo scoffed, turning his head away. "I have no interest in your alien drama."
Shin offered an awkward smile. Piccolo's current tsundere attitude was hilarious considering he was destined to become the Son family's permanent babysitter.
"I will give you the short version," Shin continued, addressing Goku. "Our race, the Saiyans, served under a massive galactic organization known as the Frieza Force. The army functions as galactic real estate brokers. Our job was to find valuable planets, slaughter the native populations, and sell the empty planets to the highest bidder."
"But the leader, Frieza, became terrified of a legend that a 'Super Saiyan' would eventually rise up and defeat him."
"Because of that fear, Frieza deployed his army and completely vaporized Planet Vegeta. Amela and I only survived because we were assigned a mission off-world at the exact time of the attack."
"However," Shin said, his tone darkening. "Your brother, Raditz, and the Prince of our race, Vegeta, are still unaware that Frieza was the one who destroyed our home. They are still actively working for Frieza's army. Raditz is coming here to execute Frieza's orders."
Goku was horrified. "Is this Frieza really that powerful? Did he really kill all of your people... people as strong as you?"
"Yes," Shin nodded quietly. "Amela, Raditz, Vegeta, and myself are basically the only pure-blooded Saiyans left alive in the entire universe."
"Kakarot," Shin said, looking Goku dead in the eye. "You were originally sent to Earth as an infant to wipe out humanity. But because you suffered a head injury, you forgot your mission. When Raditz realizes you failed, he is going to try to finish the job himself."
Suddenly, Piccolo's head jerked up, his eyes open wide as he stared into the distant sky.
"That massive Ki..." Piccolo muttered, sweat forming on his brow. "Is that Goku's older brother?? That is an unbelievable amount of power!"
"But even if that is true, I will not back down! I refuse to believe anyone is invincible!"
Shin smiled. "As you can see, their goal is destruction. But our goal is entirely different. We came here to unite the remaining Saiyans."
"We intend to avenge our fallen brethren. Saiyans may be ruthless warriors, but we do not allow outsiders to slaughter our kin."
"We came here to stop the infighting before it starts."
Goku slowly nodded, finally grasping the gravity of the situation. "I think I understand now. So, you guys really are the good guys."
Kami, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "Goku, I believe they are telling the truth. If this Frieza is truly as terrifying as they say..."
