Master Roshi strolled up to Piccolo Jr.
Looking at the young Piccolo Jr. before him, Master Roshi's expression was serious, his eyes behind his sunglasses revealing a strange glint.
His sharp eyes stared intently at Piccolo, as if trying to see right through him.
Piccolo Jr. was on high alert, extremely wary of Master Roshi.
Although he wasn't the original Piccolo, he had inherited the old Piccolo's memories.
Master Roshi was his greatest adversary, and now that he was standing right in front of him, he clenched his fists, ready to fight at any moment.
The atmosphere became incredibly heavy, everyone watching intently, as if a great battle was about to erupt between the two.
It was fortunate that the current era had already changed due to Talot's influence, otherwise everyone wouldn't have had this kind of reaction to this young Piccolo.
"That's enough, Master Roshi. With your insight, you should be able to tell that this Piccolo isn't the evil Piccolo you fought before. He's a reborn Namekian," Talot stepped in, diffusing the tense atmosphere.
Hearing Talot's words, Master Roshi pondered for a moment, the white light reflected on his sunglasses quickly dissipating, and his serious old face suddenly turned into a cynical smile.
"Haha~! I just had a whim to see if this new Piccolo was like his father. It seems I was overthinking it." Master Roshi, holding Master Roshi's Staff, glanced at the young Piccolo as he spoke, and then stopped targeting him.
With Talot vouching for him, who would dare to attack?
Even if this Piccolo was truly still evil, if Talot said he wasn't, then he wasn't.
Of course, this was because Talot had enough power.
Master Roshi believed that Talot must have a reason for doing so.
When Piccolo Jr. heard Talot mention the Namekian, he trembled, his confused gaze fixed on Talot, his sincere little eyes revealing a strong desire for the truth.
Although he had inherited the old Piccolo's memories, he still didn't know what race he was.
From beginning to end, he had always thought he was a member of the Demon Race.
"Want to know more? Luckily, another you is here, why not ask him?" Talot directly passed this troublesome question to Kami Piccolo to handle.
"He…" A hesitant look flashed in Piccolo Jr.'s eyes, his gaze towards Kami Piccolo filled with strong hostility.
To him, Kami Piccolo was his opposite.
But now, in order to learn his true identity, he had to face him.
On the other side, Kami Piccolo was overjoyed when he heard that Talot had given him the opportunity to explain.
Although the Piccolo before him was Piccolo Jr., Kami Piccolo knew that he was no longer the Piccolo of the past, which meant there was a chance for change.
Kami Piccolo didn't hesitate, approaching Piccolo while telling him about Namek.
After several minutes of one-sided explanation, Piccolo Jr. finally understood the whole story.
So he really was an alien.
The feeling of knowing the truth was incredibly subtle, leaving Piccolo Jr. feeling lost for a moment.
"You've been coming to me recently because you want to become stronger, right? But compared to my guidance, your compatriots on Namek might be better suited for you to learn from," Talot said, looking down at Piccolo Jr.
These words made a special light flash in Piccolo Jr.'s eyes.
"You… can send me to Namek?" Piccolo Jr. asked in surprise.
As a Namekian who grew up on Earth, and whose predecessor had done so many outrageous things on Earth, Piccolo Jr. found it unbelievable that Talot would send him back to his Home Planet.
It was undoubtedly like a dream.
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've been to Namek. If you want to go, I can indeed take you there," Talot said with his arms crossed and a calm expression.
Talot also had other plans in mind. Son Goku and Vegeta had mastered the Super Saiyan transformation so much earlier under his intervention, and their strength was so high, even Nappa's strength had increased so much.
Piccolo, as an indispensable important character in the original story, would probably not even be considered a minor character in the future if he didn't intervene.
But what would happen if he intervened slightly in his fate and sent him to Namek ahead of time? It should be known that the Namek at this time was vastly different from the Namek in the original story.
It would be beneficial and harmless for Piccolo to go, and he might even take a completely different path under the training of Lagar and Nail.
Perhaps he could grow rapidly in the next year or two, comparable to Son Goku.
In any case, Piccolo was a combat-type Namekian.
As a battle-type Namekian, his growth rate was unimaginable.
"Alright! I'll go." Piccolo's answer was decisive.
Hearing the answer, Talot smiled softly, "Since that's the case, stay and join the banquet today, and come with me to Namek Planet tomorrow."
With that, Talot stopped focusing on him.
In any case, Piccolo wouldn't be treated specially now.
Of course, in reality, the threat of the young Piccolo was non-existent to everyone present, even the weakest among them.
This was the fundamental reason why no one cared.
...
In the blink of an eye.
The next morning.
Talot, who had just woken up, found the young Piccolo after finishing breakfast, as promised.
He hadn't left last night and had been waiting here.
Actually, a room had been arranged for him, but this kid didn't want it, so he let him be.
"Are you ready?" Talot asked, looking at the young Piccolo in front of him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The young Piccolo didn't speak, maintaining his usual silence, but his eyes and actions had already told Talot the answer.
He couldn't wait to go to his Home Planet.
Most importantly, he wanted to become stronger, strong enough to defeat everyone he wanted to defeat!
"Let's go then," Talot said casually.
In the next second, Talot used his aura to envelop Piccolo Jr.'s body.
Without giving him time to adapt, he used Instant Transmission in an instant, leaving Earth.
It wasn't until the teleportation was complete that an unprecedented feeling surged into the young Piccolo's heart, but in the blink of an eye, the environment around him changed drastically.
"This, this is...!!" The young Piccolo's mind was strongly shaken, unable to imagine what kind of method this was.
Talot's power was far beyond his imagination.
Soon, his mind returned, and he quickly scanned his surroundings with curious and shocked eyes.
The surrounding environment, the scene before him, felt very strange, yet there was a sense of intimacy in his bones.
In the inheritance he had received, there seemed to be such scenes, making him feel nostalgic. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he was on Namek, all the doubts were cleared up.
So, the scene in his memory was the memory of his fragmented Home Planet.
Being on Namek Planet, Piccolo Jr. tried his best to calm his restless heart.
At this moment, he was sure that this was his Home Planet.
...
"Alright, now is not the time to be in a daze, I'll take you to see your clan's Grand Elder first." After saying that to Piccolo, Talot turned around and looked at the huge house behind him.
No matter how many times he saw this kind of characteristic building, it would always feel very magical.
At least to the Earthlings' concept, it really looked like the place where the Demon King lived.
The young Piccolo heard Talot's words and turned around at the same time.
But just at this moment, two powerful auras suddenly flew from afar.
Lagar and Nail!
He didn't expect that in just a few short years, their auras had improved to this point.
Based on the initial judgment of aura perception, Lagar and Nail's Battle Power had reached at least several million points.
"Such a powerful aura... this power...!!!" The young Piccolo trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked into the distance in disbelief.
The power of these two forces made every cell in his body tremble, and they could bring him so much pressure from such a distance...
He couldn't imagine that his clansmen were so terrifyingly strong! "They're here," Talot smiled and said.
In their line of sight, two black dots gradually appeared and rapidly enlarged, finally landing in front of them.
"Long time no see, Lagar, Nail, you seem to have changed quite a bit," Talot said with a light smile, his gaze sweeping over the two.
Hearing Talot's words, Lagar and Nail smiled.
"Compared to you, we are far behind. So, is this another child of our race who was stranded on Earth?" Lagar said modestly, then looked at Piccolo Jr.
"After so many years, you are still as breathtakingly strong as you were back then," Nail said to Talot with respect, then his gaze also shifted to Piccolo Jr. beside him, "Hello, I am Nail, you must be Piccolo."
In the original story, they would have merged into one because of Frieza.
That probably won't happen now.
Piccolo Jr. nodded timidly upon hearing this, without saying a word.
"No need to be afraid, we are all members of your clan, my name is Lagar," Lagar said, with absolute goodwill.
Seeing this, Talot was not surprised: "It seems that you have learned about his situation through the Kami compatriots on Earth."
The two nodded simultaneously upon hearing this.
Lagar continued to size up Piccolo Jr., confirming one thing: "Indeed, he is like us, a very special combat-type Namekian. No wonder the Grand Elder values him so much."
"Indeed, but it's a pity that he is not complete yet," Talot explained.
Hearing this, Lagar and Nail seemed to understand and nodded again.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the group entered the house where the Grand Elder lived.
Inside the inner room, the Grand Elder, as massive as a small mountain, sat on his special chair as always, the heavy sound of his breathing echoing in everyone's ears like muffled thunder.
Talot could tell at a glance that the Grand Elder's life force had clearly deteriorated since the last time they met.
It seemed that the Grand Elder's lifespan was indeed running out. The fact that he could hold on until that time in the original story was only because he was forcing himself.
"Talot, thank you very much for bringing back the child of our race who was stranded abroad, and welcome to visit our Namek Planet again," the Grand Elder greeted Talot amiably.
Talot nodded slightly: "No need to be so concerned, it was just a small matter, and I came this time with my own selfish motives, and perhaps I can help you recover a bit along the way."
These words excited Lagar and Nail, who were standing by.
After all, the Grand Elder's current condition was very weak. If he could get help, it would be equivalent to extending his life.
"I am very clear about my own situation… In fact, I am just eking out a living, but I still want to thank you." The Grand Elder didn't seem to care much, and his gaze turned to Piccolo Jr.
"Kadatz's child, the other half of the Kami on Earth, right? Although you are a child after rebirth, you are still him," the Grand Elder said again.
Piccolo Jr. did not deny the Grand Elder's question and nodded directly.
He felt no resistance to this elder, and even felt unusually close.
"Although you are an individual born from the evil side, I can feel that there is no evil in your heart. All you have is persistence, and you are also full of confusion about this world. Come here, child," the Grand Elder gestured for Piccolo Jr. to come to his throne.
Piccolo Jr. hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and walked to the Grand Elder's side.
The Grand Elder raised his right arm, and his huge palm landed on Piccolo Jr.'s head.
His special ability activated, and the Grand Elder quickly read the memories in Piccolo Jr.'s mind.
"So that's it, you desire to obtain even greater power…" While muttering to himself, the Grand Elder also discovered a dark side in Piccolo Jr.'s heart.
Fortunately, the dark side was not too big or too deep, and there would be enough time to guide him in the future to correct it.
"I already know everything you have experienced. As the Grand Elder, let me give you a gift first, child," the Grand Elder smiled kindly, and then in an instant, a special aura surged.
Piccolo Jr. only felt as if something had been awakened in his body, and a steady stream of energy gushed out from within.
"This… this is…!!" Piccolo Jr. was shocked by the changes in his body.
The feeling of fatigue in his body before was swept away, replaced by a body full of vitality, and his strength also increased a lot.
"I have opened the shackles of your body for you, and also indirectly increased your power, which is considered to stabilize your foundation. This will be of great help to your future cultivation," the Grand Elder withdrew his right hand and explained to Piccolo Jr.
