Different Starting Points, Impossible to Compare
As their attacks collided, in an instant, Nail's torrent of energy was pierced by Talot's sharp beam, which then hurtled straight toward Nail at incredible speed.
"Not good!" With the attack neutralized, Nail felt a deadly crisis approaching.
The sharp beam of light was too fast for him to dodge!
Without a second thought, Nail immediately assumed a defensive stance.
The sharp beam of light struck Nail's arms precisely.
In an instant, a chill swept over his entire body, Nail's pupils contracted sharply, and he stood frozen in place as if he had lost his soul.
Several seconds passed before Nail came to his senses, looking at his body soaked in cold sweat, feeling utterly bewildered.
What's going on?
The sense of imminent death he felt just now was real, but his body was not injured at all.
"Nail, look behind you!" Lagar, standing outside the battlefield, shouted to Nail.
Upon hearing this, Nail slowly turned around, and the scene that came into view made his pupils shrink sharply.
A long crack stretched for hundreds of miles, with no end in sight.
An attack of this caliber is powerful enough to slice through anything in an instant.
At that moment, Nail understood that the deadly sense of crisis was not fake, but rather Talot's perfect control over his power, which allowed the sharp light from before to pass through his body without causing him any harm.
Such power from a casual strike, and absolute control over that power—these are realms I can only look up to.
Having witnessed a higher realm, Nail closed his eyes and quietly contemplated.
"I... lost..." Nail said after a moment of silence.
Having broadened his horizons and witnessed more advanced fighting methods, Nail knew that continuing to fight was pointless. Rather than continuing this meaningless battle, it would be more satisfying to admit defeat.
For him, this sparring match had been very beneficial, and he had gained a lot of inspiration from it, which he could use for his future training.
"Work hard in your training, and you will become even stronger in the future," Talot encouraged Nail.
With guidance from his senior, Talot knew that Nail would definitely become stronger in the future. Even if he couldn't surpass him, he would still be a thousand times stronger than he was now.
"Yes, I will try my best. Thank you for your guidance, Brother Talot." Nail faced Talot, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Seeing his determined gaze, Talot nodded, then turned his attention to Lagar was watching from the sidelines.
Their eyes met, and Lagar, in the distance, clearly sensed it.
"My turn...!!" Lagar smiled excitedly, then leaped up and quickly arrived in front of Talot.
He handed over the reins to Nail, instructing him to return and protect the Grand Elder, before finally confronting Talot.
The two didn't exchange blows immediately. Lagar spoke up, "How about it? Nail pretty good?"
"Indeed, he's quite impressive. In just a few years, his growth has far surpassed ours back then," Talot said with a smile.
"In a few years, he may not surpass you, but he will definitely surpass me. Compared to me, he is the real combat-type Namekian," Lagar remarked.
These words came out of Talot's surprise, but Talot didn't care. Instead, he looked at the boy Piccolo in the distance and said, "Nail is indeed a genius, but that's because you've been guiding him. That's why he's been able to progress so smoothly. Just like Piccolo, with the two of you leading the way, he'll have an even smoother journey."
As he spoke, Talot looked at Lagar: "Actually, it's not that we are inferior to these younger generations, but that we have always been working hard to pioneer the way forward, and they have been influenced by us to some extent. If our efforts to break through our own limitations do not help those who come after us, then it is the younger generation that is too mediocre."
Talot's words deeply moved Lagar.
"Hearing you say that has given me a breakthrough in my mindset," Lagar agreed.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
What Talot was trying to express was simply that as they all grew stronger, their horizons broadened, and their descendants would inevitably be influenced by their predecessors.
Since they were not on the same platform from the start, using the old comparison methods was actually wrong.
Far away.
The Grand Elder stood Nail and Piccolo, sighing with emotion.
"The battle between Lagar and Talot, recalling their first encounter, has been many years in the past."
Recalling Talot first encounter, Lagar displayed extremely strong learning and combat abilities. Even when they were of equal strength, Talot was able to fight Lagar to a standstill, and even gained the upper hand at one point before quickly surpassing Lagar in the end.
That's not the key point. The key point is that if Lagar hadn't met Talot back then, he probably wouldn't have amounted to much.
Because of Talot, Lagar and Nail have become so strong and awakened the powerful innate abilities of their Battle-type Namekian.
The Namekian of the past were incredibly powerful in their combat forms, but for various reasons Namekian later abandoned their power.
Because they feared the destruction that power could bring, because they were afraid that power was the source of evil, just like Slug in the past.
But things are different now, because Talot used his power to show them that strength is not just about creating destruction; it can also be used to protect the weak and safeguard everything that one wants to protect.
On the battlefield.
As the conversation ended, Talot and Lagar's eyes met, their powerful auras clashing and sweeping across the surrounding area.
Their clothes moved without wind, and an invisible pressure expanded in a straight line from them.
"Come on, let me see the results of your training over the years. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what level your strength has reached," Talot said.
"Alright! Don't blink!" Lagar smiled confidently, gathering his strength in his fists.
"Drink!!" A deep shout erupted from his mouth, and the power dormant within his body was fully mobilized.
'Splash! Sp...
A continuous stream of energy surged from Lagar's body, and a deathly white aura ignited around him like a raging fire.
Lagar's change in demeanor caused the numbers displayed on Talot's Virtual Glasses to fluctuate continuously.
It surged from several million points to over ten million points, and is still rising.
The increase in Lagar's strength caused a flicker of surprise in Talot's eyes.
Although Battle Power of over ten million points is nothing to him, the fact that Lagar was able to break through to ten million points shows how much he sacrificed for that Battle Power.
'Crackling sound!!'
The sky was now shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and bolts of destructive golden lightning struck down, bombarding the area around Lagar and tearing the ground in several fissures.
Lagar's power erupted to its peak.
The Virtual Glasses Talot wore told him that Lagar's Battle Power had reached 15 million points.
"Indeed impressive, their Battle Power exceeds 15 million points," Talot praised.
"15 million? Looks like I overestimated myself! But numbers are numbers!" Lagar adopted a fighting stance and shouted with high spirits.
Sensing Lagar's burning fighting spirit, Talot smiled, his aura pulsating. Unlike Lagar's burst of energy, Talot's control over his power was perfect. He had now suppressed his strength to 15 million points, which was roughly equivalent to Lagar's.
"Take this!!!" Lagar gathered his strength in his right hand and swung his arm.
An Energy Blast with astonishing destructive power condensed and took shape, hurtling through the air and heading straight for Talot.
As expected, Talot casually released a Ki Blast that collided with the Energy Blast, but the anticipated Big Bang Attack did not occur.
With a blinding flash of white light, Lagar's Energy Blast and Talot's Ki Blast vanished into nothingness.
When his first attack failed, Lagar continued his assault. With rapid swings of his hands, dozens of destructive Energy Blast rained down on Talot.
Faced with this barrage of Energy Blast, Talot remained calm and prepared a countermeasure, releasing a large Ki Blast.
The large Ki Blast spun counterclockwise at high speed the moment it went out of control, and the powerful attraction it generated drew all the Energy Blast in the surrounding space towards it.
The Big Bang Attack occurred, and Lagar was shocked by Talot's move.
Witnessing his attack being completely neutralized, Lagar's expression became even more serious.
Since a full-scale energy attack is ineffective against Talot, the only option left is to settle the score with hand-to-hand combat against Lagar.
"Drink up!!!" Accompanied by a high-pitched shout, the white aura around Lagar transformed into tangible flames and burned fiercely. He rushed out at full speed like a ray of dawn, heading straight for Talot.
A powerful iron fist, imbued with the strength of the entire body, was suddenly swung out.
Talot remained calm, effortlessly deflecting Lagar's full-force attack with a wave of his hand.
The attack was blocked, Lagar did not stop. He quickly pulled back his fist, unleashing his terrifying hand-to-hand combat skills.
The fierce and powerful attacks came at Talot from all directions like a storm.
But this level of attack had absolutely no effect on Talot.
Even though he suppressed his power to a level comparable to Lagar's, Talot's combat ability was not restricted in the slightest. After only one or two exchanges, Talot completely figured out Lagar's fighting rhythm and used corresponding methods to completely neutralize all of Lagar's attacks.
Talot saw through the attack completely, and Lagar, as the attacker, felt immense pressure.
If he doesn't find a way to break through Talot's defenses, then all his current advantages will vanish.
With gritted teeth, Lagar once again increased the pace and intensity of his attack.
Speed and power underwent a qualitative change, and a storm of attacks relentlessly swept over Talot's body.
Despite Lagar's relentless attacks, Talot's defensive rhythm remained completely intact, and he defended against Lagar's offensive with impeccable defense.
Lagar, who was launching a strong offensive, should have had the upper hand, but now the situation is quite unfavorable for him.
Talot's impenetrable defense left Lagar with no openings for attack, turning the tide of the game and giving Talot the upper hand.
Lagar is now in a dilemma; attacking is not an option, nor is not attacking.
"I refuse to believe that your defense is truly without any flaws!!" Lagar went all out. In order to reverse the situation and establish his advantage, he disregarded his physical exhaustion, unleashed his full power, and launched a full-scale attack on Talot.
While speed and power have been greatly improved, offensive methods have also become sharper, with many unnecessary attacking moves reduced.
'Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! ...'
One dull sound after another echoed through the space.
Lagar's all-out offensive was incredibly destructive, terrifying to the extreme.
But with this level of attack, it's far from enough to break through Talot's defenses.
Years of training, and the battle with the God of Destruction, Champa, further enhanced Talot's fighting instincts. Even without conscious thought, his body could react on its own and take the same countermeasures immediately.
If Talot hadn't been suppressing his fighting instincts, Lagar would have been completely overwhelmed the moment they clashed.
The intense battle between the two left Nail the edge of the battlefield, dumbfounded, and a layer of cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on his forehead.
His mind went blank; he was clearly terrified by this level of combat.
"Is this the true power of Lagar? Such a fierce attack! If he used this kind of attack when sparring with me normally, I'm afraid I wouldn't even last a single round." Nail, his expression shocked, after regaining his senses.
If he's like this, imagine what it's like for young Piccolo standing to the side.
"Lagar was too eager to attack, desperate to gain the upper hand, but he exposed his biggest weakness." The Grand Elder saw through it all and could already guess what would happen next.
His insight was extraordinary; he could discern the future development of the battle in just a few glances.
Lagar's overly eager attack caused his stamina to deplete rapidly, and his attacks were only superficially fierce. Talot had already perfectly weathered the first wave of fierce attacks, and Lagar would soon run out of steam.
In fact, Lagar should be grateful that his opponent was Talot; if it were any other enemy, he wouldn't be so lucky.
On the battlefield.
Although Lagar was still attacking, he was already showing signs of defeat.
Compared to his initial powerful attacks, his punches were noticeably weaker, with both power and speed showing a significant decline.
In contrast, Talot, although he was always on the defensive, maintained a stable aura without revealing anything.
"This shouldn't be your true strength, right? Trying to gain an advantage by attacking too hastily will only expose your weaknesses." As soon as he finished speaking, Talot seized the opportunity and launched a decisive attack.
With a clenched right fist, he struck Lagar in the chest. The immense force caused Lagar to utter a muttering sound and involuntarily stagger backward.
