It's been a few days and all six dragon balls were gathered in the same location, only Goku's remained, I looked at the radar and waited patiently, It was time for the old demon to try and get his hands on the last dragon ball.
I waited on Roshi's island, Goku was still wandering the world he said that he would come back to train with us a bit later for the next tournament, I was with Tien, Yamcha, Roshi Chiaotzu and Launch on the island. Immediately when blonde Launch spotted Tien he started to flirt with him, she liked his rugged look and his Three eyes for some reason.
I left the island after the daily training, my power level already increase to four hundred and sixty, I felt like the more I was training the more my body was unlocking its true potential with the help of my healing factor, I could feel that my body was already on its path of limitless growth, my mind was getting stronger and stronger but it started to hit a wall due to reaching the highest stage of Roshi's training technique.
I flew towards the six dragon balls and masked my ki so King Piccolo couldn't sense me, after a while, I spotted the giant ship of the Pilaf gang trio, I felt Piccolo's ki inside the ship, It wasn't that strong it was only four hundred and twenty, a bit higher than Goku's by eighty. It seemed that giving birth took a toll on his aged body and his energy reserves were already starting to go down, even though he was as strong as Piccolo would be when Raditz came there should be a logical reason for this to happen.
I wasn't sure but when Kami got weaker Piccolo got stronger before Piccolo Jr was born, maybe that meant Kami was in a pinch right now?
I followed the airship from above as it made its way towards Goku's location which was pretty far in the wild, after a few more hours of flying we were at the destination.
A fat green lizard looking humanoid flew out of the ship and tried to attack Goku with a flying punch, I sensed his ki and it was quite low a little above two hundred, Goku easily dispatched of him with his Kamehameha.
I heard a gasp of pain coming out of the airship, it seemed the second death of his progeny hit him quite hard, literally since a bit of his life force was expended every time he gave birth, it was also linked with his kids.
Piccolo was quite angry, his power level already dropped to three hundred and ninety and he looked visibly older than he did in the main world, He was pissed his sharp teeth were gritted and if looks could kill Goku would have already died one hundred times.
King Piccolo said in a raspy voice as he levitated towards the ground in Goku's direction:
"So you are the one who killed Tambourine, and now Cymbal as well, I'll make sure to torture you slowly before I take the dragon ball from you."
Goku was a bit confused when he heard about Tambourine as this was the first green creature he killed but he shrugged nonetheless, he didn't care, he could sense that Piccolo was strong his Saiyan instincts told him so.
So he just decided to go with it and fight him, at first he got the upper hand against Piccolo as he was old and quite weak after he lost two sons, but after a while Piccolo started to take the upper hand with his experience, Piccolo fought tons of martial artists and killed them ruthlessly before he was sealed by Master Mutaito, Master Roshi's master.
Unfortunately, Goku got distracted by one of Piccolo's tricks, while he was distracted Piccolo grabbed the scruff of his shirt and threw him into the air and hit him with a mouth beam.
Goku fell from the sky unconscious and heavily damaged, Piccolo put his hand on his neck artery checking for a pulse when he found none he started to laugh, he took the dragon ball from his chest pocket and left.
After Piccolo left Goku started coughing, and he crawled away slowly hoping to find something to eat to ease his pain and heal himself a bit, from what I observed it seemed he was trying to go to Korin's tower, he still remembered of Upa's and Bora's words that whoever climbed the tower could meet Korin and get a special water from him which would make him stronger.
He needed that water to stop Piccolo, he thought that even I wasn't as strong as Piccolo as I never truly thrashed him around as Piccolo did.
I knew what would happen from now on, he would meet with Yajirobe the fat samurai and he would take him to Korin's tower.
I decided to follow Piccolo so I could steal his wish, it was time for my third wish, this one was extremely important, it would resolve my lack of training techniques forever, all the other important techniques can be learned from other people but what I wanted only Shenron or Porunga could give me.
Piccolo stopped a few kilometers away from the location where he had beaten Goku, he made the Pilaf gang to carry the dragon balls down to him from the ship, as he started to prepare to call for Shenron I blitzed in my Godspeed mode and I hit him squarely in the head not enough to kill him but enough to give him a concussion and knock him out.
The Pilaf gang almost peed themselves in fear watching the great King Piccolo go down like a sack of potatoes, for convenience's sake I knocked all of them out as well.
I started to chant Shenrons incantation:
"Arise Shenron and grant me my wish!"
Unlike in the past, Shenron said something that surprised me:
"Who has summoned me..... Oh wait it's you again goddamit does no one else gathers these stupid things besides you?"
I sweatdropped seems Shenron wasn't an NPC who would have a single conversation line, Shenron continued:
"Whatever you know how things are already come and state your wish!"
I thought long and hard for a few seconds before I decided on my wish and intoned it loudly in a clear voice:
"Shenron give me the best training techniques that are suited for my body and mind so they can grow endlessly without any bottleneck stopping them!"
Shenron's eyes glowed and two training techniques appeared in my head, he didn't even bother to say farewell as he just dispersed, I grabbed the four-star ball for Goku before it made its way around the world.
I left the wilderness, leaving the knocked out Piccolo and the Pilaf gang to bask in the afternoon sun.
While I was on my way to Roshi's house I analyzed both of the mind and body training techniques given to me by Shenron, they were quite special, The body training technique would continuously temper the ki and body at the same time with also purifying them, increasing my control of ki to perfection at the same time, the mind training technique could be used endlessly to strengthen my soul and my psychic powers, I already could go up to fifty times earth's gravity with my mind, this was my limit with Roshi's training technique, but now as I trained with this new technique the gravity could increase to infinite amounts.
The same could be said about my telekinesis and mind-reading if I trained my soul enough I could even read Beeruse's mind without him noticing no matter if my body's and ki's strength was below his.
The training techniques were both tailored towards my physique and unique soul, no one else could train in them maybe my descendants could at diminished effects.
I nodded to myself this way I had no use of the dragon balls for myself anymore anything else I could do by myself, as my mind grew stronger and stronger I started to get idea's on how to create my techniques, I already thought of learning something similar to Tien's technique, but I would have six arms and three heads and I would try to make the technique increase my power level, I was at the beginning stages of creating it, but with the new mind training technique it won't take me much before I would surely figure it out.
Imagining myself with three heads six arms and a bunch of ki weapons in my arms I would surely look like an Asura from hell.
I finally arrived at Roshi's house and I could see on the news that a city was attacked by the great demon Piccolo, Roshi was sweating heavily and his eyes were wide while he explained to other's Piccolo's past achievements.
I just listened but I already knew all of this, Roshi volunteered himself to go and try to capture Piccolo again using the Mafuba wave, he wouldn't use all of his vital energy now as he was stronger than before, he also thought that time wore away Piccolo's prowess and he was sure of himself that he could beat him with his Mafuba technique.
I insisted on following him when I did Yamcha and Tien wanted to come too. We all flew towards the city instead of taking the plane as it was faster.
We made our way to find the city in flames and countless civilians killed and devastated, cries of sorrow and pain were everywhere, I was sad, maybe I should have ended Piccolo there and then to prevent all of this pain brought to everyone?
The dragon balls would be able to revive all of them next year but it was a scar that would remain on their minds for their whole lives, maybe I should also ask Shenron next time to remove the memories of today's happening while reviving them?
King Piccolo appeared even more aged than before but his power level somehow spiked back to four hundred plus, maybe he was exhausting himself to put a strong front to scare us?
Roshi wasn't one to talk with a deadly enemy in his face so he immediately started to fight he told us to stay back knowing that I was stronger than him, maybe he thought that Piccolo was stronger than myself and he wanted to sacrifice himself so I could have a good future?
A lonely tear appeared on my face, this was the kindest thing anyone did for me in both lives combined, after my parents died in my last life things were hard on me, no siblings all alone, I did inherit the house but it was hard to live alone, I adopted a dog and a cat, I wondered if they were still alive after all the time I spent in this new world?
While I was daydreaming Roshi took quite the heavy beating from the enraged Piccolo, he didn't recognize me as I hit him too hard and too fast while I was also encased in the electricity of my Godmode.
When I looked at Roshi's sorry figure something immediately snapped inside of me, he wanted to sacrifice himself for me despite me being only his student, he thought of me as his family, like the saying was master for a day, father for a lifetime.
I couldn't let Roshi die like in the original, because of me a lot of people died today, I was blaming myself quite a bit. I could have ended this before it could happen.
I blitzed my way towards King Piccolo and hit him in the gut throwing him away from Master Roshi, I gently took Master Roshi's wounded figure in my arms and gave him to Yamcha and Tien.
They were both looking at me with wide eyes not knowing of my true strength as I never let them witness it.
It was time for them to see it fully now.
Piccolo got himself out of the rubble and with red eyes full of anger shot a mouth ki beam towards me, I snorted and started to charge the Kamehameha wave, but I added a twist to it by giving it electricity, the beam immediately transformed from blue to pure white and sparks could be seen dancing in my hands.
I shot the beam towards his and the beams clashed, a struggle started to appear but immediately my beam started to overcome his, terror started to appear in Piccolo's eyes, knowing his death was incoming he spat his last egg, his reincarnation and it flew towards the horizon.
I didn't stop it, as the beam engulfed Piccolo nothing of him remained, he was thoroughly dead.
I sighed, I doomed a lot of innocents today and their lives made my shoulders sag a bit, I wasn't a saint by any reason nor a hero but it felt quite bad to know you killed an innocent indirectly or not.
At least they weren't dead permanently, this thought made me snap out of my reverie, Goku was flying fastly on his nimbus towards us his power level increased to a whopping five hundred and fifty, he had a satchel with him which I guess could only have senzu beans.
He got off the cloud and dropped in front of us, he looked around and not seeing Piccolo anywhere asked Tien and Yamcha about it, they pointed at me and retold everything that happened.
Goku eyes started shining he didn't even let me rest a bit before he came at me punch coming on flying, his power level was above mine so there was no reason to be polite as my muscles immediately swelled and I transformed in my full power technique.
My power was six hundred and ninety in this form so I could easily hold Goku at bay even though he became way stronger than before. He started pouting and stopped fighting, he knew he couldn't beat me.
After taking a good look at Roshi he took a green bean from his satchel and gave it to him, his wounds healed almost immediately due to the senzu beans effect, I would surely need to either get myself to learn how to make them or ask Shenron or Porunga for an inexhaustible supply.
Roshi got up and started to do a tiny dance of victory even though he was injured before he wasn't unconscious so he knew what happened.
He hugged me and told me I did well by killing the monster, I hugged him back, it felt just like back when I was a kid and I hugged my old grandpa and grandma, I was devastated when grandma died first only a few years grandpa left too.
I grew up with them so it was quite a huge blow to my heart, my eyes watered but I didn't let them leak, Yamcha and Tien looked puzzledly at me not knowing why I was sad.
Goku was looking somewhere else so he didn't notice, but Roshi noticed my mood and asked me about it, I just responded with a bit of my life story, how I was abandoned at the temple and I never truly knew my parents, and how I started to view him as a grandfather figure of sorts.
Roshi started to smile he didn't mind me viewing him as his grandfather, he had no children of his own and as he trained me and Goku since we were eleven years old he started to grow on us even he felt that we were like his grandchildren.
In dragon ball super Goku even called him grandpa.
After everything was accounted for they decided to gather the dragon ball's next year so they could revive everyone else who died in King Piccolo's attack not knowing that Piccolo Jr was out there.
He would appear only three years later during the next Budokai Tenkaichi tournament, and he won't target Goku this time.
Even though I didn't need Kami's techniques now I still needed to learn a bit of magic and materialization, but before going to Kami's lookout I decided to get a visit to Baba so I could learn some of her techniques, she could contract ghosts as servants it wasn't a very useful technique but that meant no work around the house for me.
Her being able to visit the otherworld could be learned from Kami so I didn't need many techniques from her. When Goku heard of a new adventure he immediately piped up ready to go.
So we made our way to Baba's Palace when Roshi heard we were going to visit his sister he decided to come as well, Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu thus followed, Launch didn't want to stay alone at home so she came as well.
So we were all now at Baba's Palace.
