Talot calmly watched Piccolo.
"If you have the time, go back to your homeland. The answer you seek is on Namek," Talot said after a moment of thought.
He did not directly mention the Dragon God Power, only pointing Piccolo toward a path.
"Namek?!" Learning that the answer to becoming stronger lay in his homeland, Piccolo's mind raced as he sank into thought.
"Yes. Before you go back, remember to merge with Kami Piccolo first! After all, he does not have much time left. If he dies, you die too," Talot added.
It was inevitable and could not easily be changed.

He was deeply opposed to becoming one with Kami Piccolo again, but Talot was right. If he did not do it, death was what awaited him.
This era needed stronger warriors.
If he remained at a standstill, he would be completely left behind.
"I understand. Thank you..." Piccolo took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart.
Then his gaze shifted toward Vegeta and Cell's battle ahead.
Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Future Trunks were all stirred by the conversation.
They had not expected Kami's lifespan to be so short, that he was about to die.

The close-quarters battle between Cell and Vegeta grew increasingly fierce. Their violent collisions erupted through the air with thunderous booms.
Vegeta's fierce attacks came in an unbroken stream, but compared to before, both their power and speed had clearly weakened. He could no longer contend with Cell head-on.
During his explosive burst, Vegeta had indeed gained the upper hand through the Prince Fighting Style, but the expenditure had been too great
