Chapter 453: It was a promise
“Namekians are born with a robust body, and a part of their body operates like that of plants, with the functions of photosynthesis similar to plants. Thus, as long as they drink water, they can use photosynthesis to produce starch to meet the needs of their physiological functions. Therefore, even if the conditions of Planet Namek are harsh, they can survive. ”
“Due to the huge climate disaster that occurred on Planet Namek more than three hundred years ago, there are not many Namekian survivors left. Old Kami fled to Earth because of that disaster.”
Xiaya explained the Namekians’ circumstances.
Goku asked excitedly, “That is to say, there are many people here who look exactly like Piccolo?”
Bulma gave her husband a white eye, her look calm and elegant. “The Namekians are a race, just like earthlings, so they certainly look similar.”
“Well, I sense thousands of powerful auras on Planet Namek. They must all be Namekians. Umm, their auras are very tranquil, especially in the north; there is a very powerful Ki,” Yajirobe closed his eyes to sense and said in surprise.
Previously, be it training on the Lookout or Planet Kai Yajirobe did not participate, but this time, he followed them to Planet Namek.
Xiaya said, “The Namekians are a kind-hearted race, and in the north is where their Great Elder lives.”
Then, the group of thirteen rushed towards the residence of the Great Elder.
Goku hugged Bulma by the waist and formed a protective net in front of him with Ki, and at lightning speed, they appeared thousands of kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
A vast uninhibited area.
This place had criss-crossing ravines and stone pillars of various sizes rising from the ground. A cold wind was blowing, bringing along an icy-cold water vapor. This was a piercing cold place.
On top of an enormous towering rock pillar, there was a double-story white building where Great Elder and his guard, Nail, resided.
The moment Xiaya and others landed, Nail—who had green skin—walked out of the building’s entrance.
“Great Elder has been waiting for you all for a long time.”
Nail said coldly to Xiaya and others.
“Hey, he looks exactly like Piccolo.” Everyone except Xiaya was taken aback. Of course, as Nail was also a Namekian, looking like one was a given; however, someone like Nail who looked almost the same as Piccolo was rare.
Perhaps, this was because Nail was also a Warrior-type Namekian.
Xiaya knew that Nail’s personality was like this. If it wasn’t for Great Elder’s personal command, perhaps Nail would have immediately driven him and others away. Xiaya seized up Nail and discovered that his Battle Power had really reached 42,000 like in the original work, which was without unlocking potential.
Stepping into the building and walking up to the second floor, they saw the Namekian Great Elder lying on a huge stone chair.
The Great Elder had been alive since the climate calamity. After more than three hundred years, he was now approaching old age and could not take even a step.
“Young Saiyan King, I would like to thank you for abiding with the promise. I am worried that Planet Namek will not survive this calamity,” The Great Elder raised his eyelids weakly as he said, his aged voice lacking strength.
Xiaya said, “It was a promise, so I will naturally come.”
“But this time the enemy is Frieza. The Great Elder should know that once the high-intensity battle starts, the tremendous amount of energy will easily damage the entire planet. I can’t guarantee that Planet Namek can survive after the battle.”
“I know, Kai-sama has told me the news. I didn’t expect this calamity to originate from the evil Frost Demon race, but since this disaster cannot be avoided, for the peace of the universe, I am willing to let Planet Namek be the battlefield.” The Great Elder nodded slightly.
His aged voice sounded very helpless, but for someone wise and farsighted like the Great Elder, his state of mind had long exceeded ordinary people’s perception. He looked upon a problem from a higher level.
“Great Elder, if Planet Namek is destroyed …” Nail’s countenance changed, shouting anxiously.
The Great Elder lightly waved his hand to stop Nail and said, “If it is all predestined, it is worthwhile to make a little contribution to the universe.”
The Great Elder’s state of mind was worthy of respect. Xiaya said, “I think the Great Elder has misunderstood. The destruction of Planet Namek may be inevitable, but the Namekian race can survive.”
“Oh, why do you say so?” The Great Elder’s heart stirred as he asked.
Xiaya pointed to the dragon balls and said to Nail, “You can immediately collect the dragon balls in each village after that, you will use Porunga’s power to find a planet similar to Planet Namek and then transfer your clansman to it.”
Nail’s eyes lit up hearing that, and he looked at the Great Elder expectantly.
The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, “This is indeed a solution, and it’s also something I was intending to implement. Nail, go and gather the dragon balls. It may be the last time we will make a wish.”
“Yes!” Nail replied immediately, and then he was about to leave to gather the dragon balls.
“Wait… Finding a new planet and transferring the Namekian race… wouldn’t it cost two wishes?” Bulma asked in surprise.
“Don’t worry, Planet Namek’s dragon ball can fulfill three wishes at once,” Xiaya said with a faint smile.
“Three wishes!!”
Hearing that, Bulma exclaimed in surprise. She thought that Planet Namek’s dragon balls were the same as Earth’s dragon balls that could only fulfill one wish at a time! ‘It turns out that there are three wishes! They are worthy of being called—genuine dragon balls. They are really strong…’ Bulma mused.
“That … Can the third wish be left to me? I want to resurrect Uncle Piccolo,” A young voice spoke before Gohan stepped forward.
Nail paused and looked at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder chuckled and said to Gohan, “Child, come here, let me take a look at you.” Saying that, he put his hands on Gohan’s head, and things that had happened on Earth appeared in the Great Elder’s eyes little by little.
“I see, Piccolo is the split body of the Namekian who had fled to Earth, and he is also a kind-hearted person. Nail, set the third wish to resurrect Earth’s Piccolo.”
“Okay.” After that, Nail walked out from the entrance and swiftly flew towards the village.
“Kid, your name is Gohan, right? You are really a simple child. Let me see how much potential you have.”
The Great Elder’s thick arm—like the lid of a huge pot—covered Gohan’s head, and his palm emitted a glittering light.
Swish!
A dazzling light appeared, and suddenly, a bizarre magic took effect on Gohan’s body. Gohan only felt warm before a large amount of warm current gushed out, and the aura on his body increased rapidly.
Beginning from 25,000, it kept rising.
90000!
150000!
275000!
In a few seconds, Gohan’s aura multiplied by more than ten times and reached 275,000 Battle Power before stopping. This scared Goku and others. Although they had long known from Tien Shinhan that the Great Elder had the ability to unlock the potential of a person’s body, this crazy method of increasing it sharply still startled them.
With Gohan’s age, reaching 25000 Battle Power before coming to Planet Namek had already left Goku and the others astonished. Now it had further increased by more than ten times in one breath; however, they had to suffer a lot in order to improve a little bit of Battle Power.
“What a frightening potential. Kid, I will draw out a portion for the time being, and then it will be up to you to train yourself.”
With drooping eyelids, the Great Elder said, feeling weak.
“Thank you!” Gohan bent over and bowed politely.
The Great Elder looked at the rest of them and asked, “Next, I’m going to unlock your potential; who will come first?”
