After obtaining the Dragon Balls, Pilaf and his gang hurried back to King Piccolo. In fact, releasing Piccolo was a desperate move. During their search for the Dragon Balls, they encountered numerous dangers and some incredibly unique locations. To navigate these challenges, they chose to rely on Demon King Piccolo's power.
However, Pilaf's gang was quite naive. King Piccolo, being who he is, wouldn't keep any promises. He would only pursue his own interests.
King Piccolo aimed to become the ruler of the world, so he wouldn't care about Pilaf's gang's wishes. Yet, Pilaf's gang was lucky enough to survive.
Moreover, in the future, Trunks would meet a rejuvenated Mai and developed feelings for her. Considering Mai's actual age, she could be his grandmother.
"Finally got everything. Now, come forth, Shenron!"
King Piccolo excitedly watched the Dragon Balls as he summoned Shenron.
Shenron's power wasn't exceptional and his abilities were limited, but his appearance was always impressive. The moment Shenron emerged, the entire Earth was shrouded in darkness.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly dark? It's only two o'clock in the afternoon!"
Bardock, checking the time, was bewildered by the sudden change, "In the northeast direction, there's a peculiar energy. It's not overwhelmingly strong, but it's much more powerful than any Earthling. There's also another presence, emitting an uncomfortable, malevolent aura constantly!"
Gine, now a Super Saiyan along with Bardock, identified the energies. Both of them were currently the strongest on the planet. Although young, Goku had become much stronger. As for Raditz, due to his limited potential, he has a power level of just about a million.
However, this was already quite remarkable. The summoning of the Dragon Balls piqued everyone's curiosity as they looked to the sky. King Piccolo's wish was to restore his youth, and once Shenron granted it, King Piccolo immediately destroyed Shenron.
"Great... Great Demon King, you… why did you destroy Shenron?"
Pilaf and his gang were stunned as they watched Piccolo kill Shenron. Destroying Shenron seemed incomprehensible. After all, a wish-granting entity that could be summoned once a year should be preserved.
Now, with Shenron gone, all the Dragon Balls turned to stone and did not scatter across the world but fell directly to the ground, as Shenron's death rendered them inert.
"Why keep it? What if someone else finds it and uses it against me? Now, go find the king of this world. This world belongs to me…"
King Piccolo ordered and spit out a few eggs directly. These eggs quickly hatched, revealing inferior versions of Namekians, not true offspring.
A Namekian at the end of his life can create a new descendant by expending all his energy, but that new descendant inherits everything. Piccolo's new spawn, however, were merely weak copies.
"My children, go kill all the martial artists in this world. Leave none alive!"
King Piccolo is scared of the technique that had sealed him for hundreds of years. If it were not for someone so greedy and stupid like Pilaf, he would have remained sealed forever, possibly until death.
Thus, he wanted to eliminate any threats immediately by sending his minions to kill these people.
"Several new presences have appeared, but their strength is average. What's going on? That weak presence earlier has grown stronger, but not by much, only to a few hundred in power level!"
Bardock didn't bother with these matters. When he left Planet Vegeta, his power level had surpassed 5,000, and even when his eldest son, Raditz, came to Earth, his power level was already close to 1,000.
As for his younger son, Kakarot, under the guidance of Bardock and Gine, had also unlocked his potential early and was now quite formidable.
Regarding his younger brother, Raditz is also helpless, but he had long been assimilated by the Earthlings, so didn't feel jealousy towards his brother. Instead, he felt it was only natural. If he was strong, his brother should be strong too. Even if Raditz might never become a Super Saiyan, he accepted his role.
Saiyans vary in their talents. For example, the Saiyans from Planet Sadala in Universe 6 have much better innate abilities compared to those in this universe. When Cabba first appeared, even in his base form, he gave Vegeta a tough time, showcasing their superior potential.
And it's not just one or two individuals, there are several with such talent.
It's a pity they haven't discovered the way to become Super Saiyans, which is quite tragic.
…
On King Piccolo's side, after his resurrection, he headed straight to the Central City and began his coup. As for his minions, they are killing martial arts everywhere. Among the current martial artists, only someone like Master Roshi could put up a fight. As for the others, they were no match. After all, the number of strong fighters on Earth was indeed very limited.
"Mr. Bardock, could you do me a favor?"
Just as Bardock's family was about to ignore these trivial matters, Kami approached them for help. Kami was in need of assistance, but truthfully, he was more concerned about his own survival.
After all, if he truly wanted to resolve the situation, all he had to do was to kill himself.
However, Kami didn't go through with it, which was quite puzzling. Yet, his subsequent actions showed his inherent goodness. He could have asked anyone for help, but specifically sought out Bardock.
As for Bardock and Kami's relationship, it began when Bardock and his family first arrived on Earth. Bardock, knowing that Kami was the strongest being on Earth besides the sealed Majin Buu, sought him out.
Regarding the existence of Gods in places like the Earth, Burdock is also very intrigued. Especially since Kami was a Namekian, though a very weak one, yet he held such authority.
At that time, Bardock struck a deal with Kami. Kami wouldn't interfere with them and would teach them about ki and other matters, and in return, Bardock would assist Kami if necessary.
So, when King Piccolo began causing chaos, Kami immediately sought Bardock's help. With Bardock's family aiding him, there would be no problem handling the situation.
As for Asahi, Kami didn't dare seek him out or provoke him.
He couldn't even gauge Asahi's power, which meant that that the other party has far exceeded him, not only in strength, but also in realm.
