Planet Namek.
Talot's transformation was overwhelmingly shocking.
To the entire Namekian race, it was something unimaginable.
Even the Grand Elder, who had experienced so much, had never felt such immense power before.
If even he felt this way, then don't mention Nail and the young Piccolo beside him, or the Namekians who had just arrived not long ago.
"Super Saiyan… truly breathtakingly powerful. In just a few short years, you have already grown to this extent. It's hard to imagine just how powerful you'll become in the future," Grand Elder exclaimed with heartfelt emotion.
Because of his words, everyone present couldn't help but look toward him.
After all, he was the most qualified to make such a statement. No one could question the Grand Elder's authority.
No one knew that the Grand Elder's heart was churning with towering waves, for besides marveling at Talot's power, he also sensed a special power erupting from within Ragar.
If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the most primordial power of their race.
Back in his prime, full of vigor and ambition, he too had once touched upon that power, but with his talent, he ultimately failed to develop it.
[The power of Lord Dragon God… Perhaps you are the most suitable heir. Ragar, it was Talot's arrival that changed our race, and even more so, changed you.] Grand Elder thought in his heart.
…
On the battlefield.
Talot domineeringly stood in the sky, gazing at Ragar.
His transformation had already ended, and as for continuing the fight, it was no longer necessary.
Just as Talot had said earlier; once he transformed, it meant the battle was already over.
"It seems that after sensing my power, the power within you was actually stimulated. I can feel it, perhaps in the future, you really could use that power to transform into a Super Namekian," Talot approached him, smiling at Ragar, whose emotions had not waned but instead surged even higher.
Ragar's transformation, he understood it even better himself.
What Talot said might very well become reality.
"Thank you, Talot. I'll work even harder to catch up to you. No matter what the future holds, I won't give up easily." Ragar withdrew his aura and sincerely expressed his thanks to Talot.
After exchanging glances, the two of them couldn't help but laugh at the polite formality.
The tense atmosphere dissipated, and Talot exited his Super Saiyan transformation.
This long-awaited sparring match had come to an end.
Back at the Grand Elder's place, the two were still engaged in various discussions.
Of course, Talot hadn't left just yet. After all, it wasn't often he came here, how could he just leave like that?
While he was at it, he also wanted to visit those Namekian friends who had once regarded him as a close friend.
Over the course of half a day, Talot once again felt the warmth and hospitality of the Namekian.
Though they didn't have luxurious things to serve him, their sincerity was real.
Simple, kind—that was the Namekians of today.
It was worth mentioning that young Piccolo had been completely moved by the warmth of his fellow clansmen, savoring the affection he had never experienced before. It overwhelmed him, to the point of tears.
The cold and cruel Piccolo, the reincarnation of the Great Demon King from the original work, would not appear anymore. That phase would be entirely skipped. Talot could already imagine that in another year or two, Piccolo would grow into the calm and mature version seen in the later parts of the original work.
Before they knew it, it was already late afternoon, nearing dusk, and Talot finally prepared to say his farewells.
Of course, before leaving, Talot intended to mention one thing.
Originally, he didn't have many plans, just bringing Piccolo to Planet Namek and making some appropriate changes.
But after his battles with Ragar and Nail, Talot thought about the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament to be held in one year and eight months. They could all come and participate.
At that time, he might even step into the ring and test himself against them.
There would be opponents, so by then, Raditz, as well as Salari once she recovers, could also participate. This could serve as a bit of pressure for the warriors on Earth.
Moreover, one year and eight months from now, Talot couldn't even imagine how far Goku might grow by that time. And then there was Nappa, and Vegeta, who had yet to make an appearance.
This world was no longer the original storyline. He could even help stir the tide and host an even grander World Martial Arts Tournament.
As he watched Talot depart, Ragar clenched his fists, filled with excitement and anticipation.
Nail and Young Piccolo beside him felt the same. They now had a new goal.
The 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
Even though he didn't know much about it, Young Piccolo managed to extract many important scenes from his memories.
Explaining it to Ragar and Nail would be his first mission since coming to Planet Namek.
