As everyone chatted, a voice suddenly descended from the sky, catching them all off guard.
It was a rudimentary telepathic communication, but enough to shock everyone except Talot and the others.
It was Kami Piccolo conveying his voice from Kami's Lookout.
In short, Talot really didn't expect him to appear so decisively.
If he had appeared this early in the original story, everything that followed would probably have changed.
The brief communication was, in essence, a request from Kami Piccolo.
He asked everyone present to help Earth eliminate Piccolo Daimaō, the culprit behind the chaos, so that Earth would not suffer the same devastation it had centuries ago.
The newly formed Z Fighters naturally accepted this request without hesitation.
However, despite agreeing, they were clueless and had no countermeasures, as they didn't even know where Piccolo Daimaō was.
At this point, they obviously had to rely on Talot and the others.
But from the beginning, Talot had no intention of getting involved in this plotline; otherwise, he wouldn't have been observing from the sidelines without making preparations in advance.
Of course, while Talot and the others wouldn't take action, Son Goku was a different story.
With Son Goku's current strength, he easily sensed Piccolo Daimaō's location, and the group, aided by the information Kami Piccolo provided, learned that Piccolo Daimaō was trying to collect the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and wish for youth.
Thus, with the help of the Dragon Ball Radar, they pursued him on two fronts, intercepting Piccolo Daimaō as he searched for the last Dragon Ball.
Old Piccolo's Battle Power was obviously far inferior to his prime.
But even his peak Battle Power of 260 had long been surpassed by the times.
Among the group, everyone except Chiaotzu could easily beat Piccolo Daimaō into the ground.
However, in the end, Master Roshi personally took action, ending this centuries-old feud.
Mutaito had died to seal Piccolo Daimaō, and Master Roshi had suffered as a result.
With a Battle Power exceeding 400, Piccolo Daimaō was like an ant in Master Roshi's hands, unable to resist.
This completely stunned Piccolo Daimaō, who had only recently broken free from his seal.
In the end, Piccolo Daimaō died from Master Roshi's Kamehameha.
His body was pierced, just as Son Goku had pierced his body in the original story.
Piccolo Daimaō refused to accept this outcome, so he passed on everything to Piccolo Jr.!
The development of the story was very different from the original, but this outcome seemed to indicate that even if certain preconditions changed, specific results would not.
Just like how Piccolo Jr. would still be born, and Kami Piccolo would not die because of Piccolo Daimaō's death.
Unless Talot intervened and truly extinguished this possibility.
But there was no need.
...
Without the oppression brought by Piccolo Daimaō, the gloom that had enveloped everyone's hearts completely dissipated, and Kami Piccolo sent words of gratitude.
Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, and Yamcha even began to marvel at Master Roshi's strength, saying things like, 'As expected of Master Roshi.'
Master Roshi was very pleased with these flattering words, especially since he had accomplished something that even his former teacher couldn't, making him exceptionally confident and proud.
However, Son Goku inappropriately said, "Grandpa Master Roshi is very strong, but Piccolo Daimaō was really weak, far weaker than the opponents who will come to Earth in two days."
The group had long known that Son Goku was not what he used to be, and they also knew that Talot and the others were incredibly strong. Now, upon learning that new alien enemies would arrive on Earth, the gloom that had dissipated re-emerged.
After some discussion, they learned the specifics, which made these outstanding Martial Artists of the current era realize one by one that they were really like ants. The power they were so proud of was not even comparable to ants when compared to truly powerful alien enemies.
It was as if a normal, ordinary person had been struggling to make a living and never thought that the world they lived in was just a secluded little mountain village, and that outside the mountain village were incredibly prosperous big cities...
Earth had always seemed very big in their eyes, but now, when compared to the vastness of the universe, it seemed indescribably small.
"You are all considered top experts on Earth, and I don't think you will be content with the status quo and stop progressing. Since you all have the belief in becoming stronger, then come with us. I believe you must be curious about how we helped Kakarot become stronger."
"Also, come with us in two days to see for yourselves. After all, you will all eventually come into contact with higher realms of martial arts."
Talot made a decision: to give these warriors another boost.
Although in the future, they would gradually be eliminated, for now, they were all outstanding, and perhaps with his guidance, they could become even stronger.
It was a way to help within his capabilities, and also to make up for the regret in his previous life that these warriors' strength had never kept up.
Talot took the initiative to invite them, and no one refused such a great opportunity. Each of them even revealed excited and thrilled expressions.
Before Super Saiyan became commonplace, before they were overshadowed by the Saiyans' terrifying talent and transformation cheat, even Yamcha had been working hard to become stronger, not to mention Krillin and Tien Shinhan.
Chiaotzu was also moving forward bravely, and his last memorable achievement was defeating Guldo of the Ginyu Force.
...
And so.
With Piccolo Daimaō I defeated by Master Roshi, Earth, under the promotion of Talot and his group, leaped across two eras and officially entered a new age.
One thing worth mentioning is that with the plot changing, the future grudges between Piccolo Jr. and Son Goku would no longer exist, because if Piccolo Jr. wanted revenge, he would seek out Master Roshi.
Even if Piccolo Jr.'s strength couldn't keep up, he would soon be eliminated, eventually becoming an insignificant existence.
And in the future, there might not be any bond between him and Son Gohan.
...
Two days later.
The Gobi Desert Wasteland, north of South City.
Today, Earth would also usher in a dramatic change.
Without a doubt, Vegeta and Nappa were about to arrive on Earth.
At the top of a towering, desolate mountain.
Talot, Raditz, and Selari were waiting here for the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa, along with Son Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu.
"They're finally here, Kakarot. Get ready, it's time for you to show the results of your training." Raditz said to Son Goku with a smile, his arms crossed.
"Leave it to me, I've been waiting for a long time, Talot-nii, Raditz-nii, Selari-nee!" Son Goku's eyes were firm, and he was ready.
He had already sensed the power of his opponents from their ki, making him especially excited.
After becoming stronger, he naturally craved to fight more powerful opponents.
This battle was also arranged for him from the beginning.
"Then let's see your performance, Kakarot," Selari said with a chuckle, encouraging him from the side.
"Yeah!" Son Goku replied with high spirits.
The lighthearted conversation between them made Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu feel extremely ashamed.
Looking at their carefree appearance, they couldn't believe it.
After all, even though their Battle Power was only three or four hundred, they had the ability to sense ki to some extent.
They couldn't sense it a few days ago, but now it was different. The two approaching massive ki made them unable to muster the courage to resist.
The gap was too big.
Although they already knew that Talot and the others were incredibly strong, this was too easy.
It seemed that they didn't take their opponents seriously at all, and they simply meant to let Son Goku face them.
...
At this moment, in space.
A Medium-sized Spaceship cut through the silent starry sky, heading straight for Earth.
Soon, the Spaceship entered Earth's atmosphere and appeared in the sky above this area.
Talot and his group, who had been waiting here for a long time, naturally noticed the arrival of the Spaceship.
As the Spaceship landed in the center of the Gobi Desert Wasteland, the hatch opened, and Vegeta and Nappa quickly emerged from it.
"Is this Earth? It seems we've landed in a rather desolate place." Vegeta's eyes scanned the surroundings. The desolate environment was quite different from what he had imagined.
However, Earth's gravity was low, making him feel exceptionally light.
"Finally here. I've been cooped up for so long, it's driving me crazy!" Nappa said, stretching his stiff limbs and neck while crushing a rock he picked up from the ground.
"This planet's gravity is even lower than I expected, and the planet itself isn't very strong either." As he said this, an evil smile spread across Nappa's face.
He seemed to be reveling in his own power and Earth's fragility.
Vegeta remained silent, ignoring Nappa and directly activating his Battle Power Detector to scan the area.
'Beep beep beep beep... Beep beep beep beep...'
As the Battle Power Detector started, it quickly displayed the Battle Power readings of those nearby with a certain level of strength.
"There are considerably high Battle Power readings near us. Four people have Battle Powers of just over 300, one person exceeds 3,000, and three people exceed 5,000." Vegeta frowned. With his intelligence, it wasn't hard to guess who these Battle Power readings belonged to.
After all, the average Earthling's Battle Power wouldn't be this high.
Those three highest Battle Power readings must be the people they were looking for.
After all, the last time they met, Talot and Selari had demonstrated the ability to control their Battle Power at will, just like he could now.
As for the remaining low Battle Power readings, perhaps they were also related to the Saiyans...
"Vegeta, do you think it's them?" Nappa asked with a serious expression.
"Whether it's them or not, we'll find out by taking a look." With those words, Vegeta took the lead, using the Flight Technique to slowly float into the sky. Looking into the distance, he saw the figures on a cliff not far away.
Vegeta couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, because he realized that they had anticipated their arrival and were waiting for them there.
Hmph! In that case, it saves me the trouble of looking for you. Vegeta thought to himself as he used the Flight Technique to rush over.
Seeing this, Nappa followed closely behind without hesitation.
...
On top of the towering cliff.
Talot and his group naturally noticed Vegeta and Nappa heading straight towards them.
"They're here," Talot said calmly.
"It's been so many years. It seems their strength has indeed increased quite a bit, but that's all there is to it." Selari said casually, arms crossed under her chest.
She felt nothing towards Vegeta and Nappa.
Moreover, she vaguely remembered Nappa and Vegeta making arrogant remarks to her back then.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how our Prince Vegeta will face us." Raditz said with a wicked smile.
He was looking forward to seeing the look of horror on Vegeta and Nappa's faces when they saw his current strength.
Of course, he wouldn't take action against them.
In short, times had changed, and he was no longer the Raditz of the past.
They're finally here. They're even stronger than I sensed before, and their aura is full of savagery. Son Goku prepared for battle at any moment, quickly evaluating and deeply sensing.
His inner emotions were constantly fluctuating.
Beside him, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu were already overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling coming towards them.
'Whoosh~~!!'
'Whoosh~~!!'
Two sounds of air being torn apart rang out, followed by the arrival of two figures.
Vegeta and Nappa steadily landed on the cliff.
As acquaintances met again, the atmosphere became unusually heavy.
"Finally, we meet. It really is you, Talot, Selari, and you... Raditz!!!" Vegeta said in a solemn tone, emphasizing Raditz's name.
An invisible sense of oppression rapidly spread out.
Although he knew that his strength was far inferior to Talot's, as the Saiyan Prince, he was still unwilling to accept it. Out of instinct, he unleashed his power.
This was a test, and it was also him showing Talot his current strength, that he was no longer the same as before.
This level of pressure had no effect on Talot, Selari, and Raditz, but it was a different story for Son Goku and the others.
Son Goku was slightly better off. With a normal Battle Power of over 8,000, he only felt a slight mental impact from Vegeta's pressure. However, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu were already struggling to breathe, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
"You've indeed improved a lot in the past few years, but this level of power is far from enough, Vegeta." As he spoke, a glint flashed in Talot's eyes.
He knew what Vegeta was thinking. It was nothing more than a Prince's pride, an unwillingness to accept defeat, and a desire to show off his power.
