As Talot, Gine, and Salari reached a consensus, the spaceship, controlled by its intelligent system, entered Earth's atmosphere and headed towards Lookout.
...
Meanwhile,
Somewhere high in Earth's sky.
The Lookout towered above the clouds like a divine flying fortress, resembling a huge soup bowl.
Its style was unique, yet it exuded grandeur.
The platform of the temple was paved with square-shaped, white stone slabs, and on one side of the platform stood Kami's temple.
Being here felt like arriving at a holy land, isolated from the world.
At this moment, in front of the temple, Kami Piccolo seemed to sense something. His aged face was covered in cold sweat.
A strong sense of foreboding surged within him, making him feel uneasy and weak.
Thankfully, Popo was quick to support him, preventing him from falling.
"Are you alright, Kami-sama?" Popo asked with concern.
Hearing this, Kami shook his head, steadied himself, and gazed into the distant sky. "I'm fine, Popo. Did you feel it too? Three terrifying auras have descended on Earth..."
As he spoke, Kami's expression grew even more solemn.
Popo nodded beside him.
His strength was formidable, and naturally, his mastery of Ki has already reached a certain level. If Kami could sense it, how could he not?
"I wonder if these three outsiders are friends or foes. If they're enemies, Earth may be facing its greatest crisis in history!" Kami said gravely.
Having served as Earth's Kami for 300 years, the elderly Kami never imagined the planet would face a crisis like this.
"Kami-sama, please take care of yourself. We haven't seen these outsiders yet, so for now, everything is unknown." Popo said worriedly.
He was well aware that Kami was nearing the end of his life.
Every time he saw Kami's emotions fluctuate so intensely, Popo couldn't help but worry.
Even though Kami had another 20 to 30 years to live, Popo had witnessed the fall of the previous Kami. For them, 20 to 30 years was a pitifully short time.
"I understand. Don't worry, Popo," Kami nodded.
The two continued to gaze into the sky, their emotions evident on their faces.
As time passed, beads of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
It wasn't just their senses; they could now see a spaceship descending from the sky.
In mere seconds, the disc-shaped spaceship landed steadily on Lookout's platform.
"Kami-sama." Popo nervously stepped in front of Kami, displaying his unwavering loyalty.
[What an unimaginable monster! How can there be someone in this world with an aura this powerful?!]
Kami's heart was in turmoil.
Since becoming Kami, this was the first—and only—time he had felt the aura of death.
He could only hope that the three outsiders aboard the ship hadn't come to Earth with intentions of invasion.
...
'Click~~! Click~~!'
The spaceship's hatch opened, connecting the interior to the outside world. Fresh air immediately rushed in, filling the ship and allowing Talot, Gine, and Salari, who had yet to disembark, to take a deep breath.
They had been confined in the cramped space of the spaceship for half a year. If Talot and Salari were adults, the space would have been even tighter.
"It's hard to imagine what kind of power could keep such a massive structure floating so high in the sky," Gine said as she walked ahead, jumping off the spaceship.
"Finally, we can move around! I was about to suffocate in there," Salari said, following closely behind as she also jumped off the ship.
The fresh environment of the Lookout made them feel as if they had stepped into another world.
Lastly, it was Talot.
While admiring the scenery of the Lookout, he sighed inwardly for a moment before shifting his focus to Kami and Popo in the distance.
His scouter immediately started scanning.
Kami, Power Level: 220.
Popo, Power Level: 300.
Just as he had predicted.
As he was about to speak, Salari suddenly noticed something and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh~? This place feels strange. My whole body feels so light."
Hearing this, Gine became curious, while Talot's memories surged, and he immediately understood.
"I almost forgot to mention, both Planet Vegeta and Planet Ouyun have ten times the gravity of Earth, which is why Earth feels so light for us," Talot said, moving around a bit on the Lookout.
"Oh, that explains it! I thought it was because we've been stuck inside the spaceship for so long," Gine said, her face lighting up in realization.
"So, that means I'm stronger than before!" Salari said excitedly.
She didn't fully grasp it yet, but what she said was true.
In a way, she *was* indeed stronger on Earth.
"Actually, the reason we don't feel it as much is because, first, our strength has increased, and second, we've spent half a year in the spaceship. Our bodies have already adapted to the optimal living conditions aboard the ship. If the gravity were ten times stronger, we'd also notice it right away," Talot added.
Gine nodded, and Salari, somewhat understanding, nodded as well.
Then, it was Salari who took the initiative to look towards Kami and Popo in the distance.
"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, are those Earthlings? They look so strange, especially that black-skinned person," Salari remarked.
Strange?
Of course, they looked strange!
Not just Kami, but Popo especially didn't look like an Earthling at all.
If he hadn't been living on the Lookout all along in the original work, who would believe that he was an Earthling?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Talot's mind.
There was nothing he could say about Popo, but Kami was a different story.
As someone who had transmigrated into this world, Talot knew all the details from the original work, but he couldn't blatantly show that he knew everything or act like a prophet.
Otherwise, how would he explain it to Gine and Salari?
However, there were some things he could pretend to know and reveal bit by bit.
For example, Kami's identity.
He could claim that he had studied some information about alien races to explain the origins and information about the Namekians, thus leading to the Dragon Balls!
Coming to Earth!
Dragon Balls was one of the reasons!
Many things would depend on summoning Shenron and making a wish.
[As expected, many things only become clear when they are about to happen or when you're facing them directly. I had been wondering for so long how to bring it up, but it's actually quite simple.] Organizing his thoughts, and seeing that Gine was also intrigued, Talot began to explain to the two of them.
