[Talot] The Grand Elder’s voice echoed deep within Talot’s consciousness.
[What’s wrong, Grand Elder? Why are you contacting me so suddenly? Don’t tell me something major has happened on Namek that requires my help??] Talot immediately grew alert upon receiving the call from the Namekian Grand Elder, instantly jumping to the most likely conclusion.
After all, the Grand Elder never contacted him without reason. Back when the planet-destroying catastrophe happened, it was the same kind of sudden message that alerted him.
[It’s a long story. Let me explain everything from the beginning…] The Grand Elder began to tell Talot about the major event about to unfold on Namek.
After hearing the Grand Elder’s full account, Talot understood what had happened—and was left shocked by the looming disaster Namek was about to face.
Because… the storyline had changed!! And the changes were spiraling out of control.
Slug had returned to Planet Namek!
Talot was no stranger to the Namekian Slug.
Back when the catastrophe struck Namek, Slug was among the batch of infants who were sent away. Unlike Kami on Earth, Slug, after being sent away, was adopted by a demon clan at a young age and became one of them.
Living in such a bloodthirsty environment, Slug’s naturally pure and kind Namekian nature was twisted. As a demon, Slug became far more powerful, brutal, and bloodthirsty than other demons.
According to what Talot knew, at his peak, Slug’s power level even reached tens of millions. Even in his old age, his power level remained formidable — conservatively estimated to be at least in the hundreds of thousands to around a few millions.
【Got it. I’ll head over to you shortly.】Through telepathy, he replied to the Grand Elder. Now that he knew about it, there was no way he could ignore it.
【Thank you for your help.】Grand Elder left a sincere word of thanks and ended the telepathic communication with Talot.
At the same time—
“What’s wrong, Brother Talot? Did something happen?” Salari keenly noticed the change in Talot’s expression and asked in confusion.
“Yeah. Just now, the Grand Elder of Namek contacted me. He said that an evil Namekian is about to arrive on Namek. He wants us to help out, just in case.” Talot replied.
“An evil Namekian? Sounds like there’s gonna be a fight then? Talot, how strong is that evil Namekian?” The moment he heard about a powerful enemy, Raditz became interested.
Although he wasn’t very familiar with Namekians, he had heard quite a bit about them from Talot and Salari.
To him, these days have been unbearably boring.
He was eager to find a strong opponent to test his strength.
“At a conservative estimate, his power level should be around a few millions.” Talot said, seeing Raditz’s expression.
“A few million?! That’s great!!” Raditz was thrilled. An opponent at that level wasn’t too strong for him, but definitely not weak either — it was just right.
Wasn’t this exactly the kind of opponent he needed?
Salari, standing beside him, also became interested in this evil Namekian.
She had recently hit a bottleneck, so this was a perfect opportunity for her to temper herself and try to go a step further.
As they made their way to the outskirts of the venue, the three of them quickly came to a decision.
Just as the three were about to leave without saying goodbye, planning to deal with the matter over there first—
Seeing that Talot and the others were about to leave, Bulma sensed something and quickly approached.
“Wait! Are you guys trying to leave Earth without me again? No matter what, I’m going with you this time.” Bulma shouted urgently.
“Don’t cause trouble. You heard it too, didn’t you? This time, the enemy’s power level is at least in the million. Your power level isn’t even 5. You would only drag us down.” Salari took the opportunity to give Bulma a reality check.
At that, Bulma was speechless. Though she often argued with Salari, this time she couldn’t deny her words—Salari wasn’t joking about her life.
For a moment, Bulma felt wronged and even considered giving up on going.
“It’s alright. If you want to come with us, then come.” Talot, however, agreed with a smile to let Bulma join them.
Those words wiped the worry from Bulma’s face and lifted the gloom from her heart.
Salari was stunned. She wanted to say more, but since Talot had already made the decision, she could only go along with it.
“Bringing you this time is fine since I can protect you. But next time, if something like this happens again and I can’t ensure your safety, you can’t insist on coming.” Talot had his own considerations.
Right now, the situation was still under control, so bringing Bulma along wasn’t a problem. After all, there will be many instances in the future where they will need her help, making it difficult to refuse if something happens again.
“Mm-hmm, I got it, I got it.” Bulma replied.
With her response, Talot finally used Instant Transmission, taking Raditz and Salari along as they left Earth and headed for Namek.
……
Planet Namek.
On a deserted island.
Under the summons of the Grand Elder, all Namekians with a certain level of strength had gathered here, preparing in advance to collectively resist the approaching disaster.
Led by Ragar and Nail, all the Namekian warriors stood at attention, ready for battle.
The reason they were certain Slug came with ill intent was due to Grand Elder.
After Talot came to Planet Namek back then, Grand Elder had met Earth’s Kami. That encounter had inspired him to try using his abilities to further connect with the other scattered survivors.
As a result, he succeeded.
After spending several years, his telepathy technique had advanced even further. He had originally thought that the other survivors would be just like Earth’s Kami—but who would have thought?
Slug had turned into an evil demon and was now coming with the Dragon Balls as his target.
Over here, everything was ready.
At that moment, the space around them suddenly rippled.
Talot, Bulma, Salari, and Raditz appeared.
“You’ve arrived.” Grand Elder smiled upon seeing the group.
With Talot’s help, he believed that this disaster, like the previous one, would soon be resolved.
Ragar, the leader, took the initiative to greet Talot upon seeing him.
Speaking of which, it was also Talot who had helped during the planet destruction crisis last time. Without him, Ragar would have perished along with that massive star.
In a way, Talot had saved his life—he owed Talot a great debt.
“Looks like I came at the right time. Do you have any plans for what’s next?” Talot asked.
The Grand Elder nodded and motioned for Ragar to answer.
As Ragar explained, Talot and the other three quickly came to understand the situation here.
