Kami's Lookout, Kami Piccolo and Popo

With Talot, Gine, and Selari having reached a consensus, the Spaceship entered Earth's atmosphere under the control of its intelligent system and headed toward Kami's Lookout.

Meanwhile.

High above some part of Earth.

Kami's Lookout stood above the clouds, like a sacred fortress in the sky, shaped like an enormous soup bowl.

Its style was unique, yet it exuded an imposing grandeur.

The platform of the lookout was paved with square, pristine white stone slabs, while Kami's palace stood to one side.

Standing here felt like arriving at an isolated sanctuary, cut off from the world.

At that moment, before the lookout, Kami Piccolo seemed to sense something. Cold sweat covered his aged face.

A powerful sense of foreboding surged through him, making his heart panic involuntarily and draining all strength from his body.

Fortunately, Popo reacted quickly enough to support him, preventing him from falling.

"Lord Kami, are you all right?" Popo asked worriedly.

Hearing this, Kami Piccolo shook his head. After steadying himself, he looked toward the distant horizon again. "I'm fine, Popo. You felt it too, didn't you? Three incredibly terrifying presences have descended upon our Earth..."

As he spoke, Kami Piccolo's expression grew even more solemn.

Popo nodded beside him.

He was very strong, and his Ki Cultivation had naturally long reached a certain level. If Kami Piccolo could sense them, how could he possibly fail to?

"We don't know whether these three outsiders are enemies or friends. If they are enemies, Earth may be facing the greatest crisis in its history!" Kami Piccolo added in a deep voice.

He was already old and had served as Kami for three hundred years. Never had he imagined Earth would face such a crisis.

"Lord Kami, we have yet to meet these three outsiders, so everything remains unknown for now. Please take care of yourself," Popo said worriedly.

He knew clearly that Kami Piccolo had already entered his twilight years.

Thus, whenever he saw Kami Piccolo's emotions fluctuate so violently, he could not help but worry.

Though Kami Piccolo still had twenty or thirty years left to live, Popo had personally witnessed the previous Kami's passing. And to him and Kami, a lifespan of twenty or thirty years was pitifully short.

"I know. Don't worry, Popo," Kami Piccolo said with a nod.

The two continued gazing into the sky, their feelings written all over their faces.

As time passed bit by bit, beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans rolled down their cheeks.

For not only could they sense it, they also saw with their own eyes a Spaceship descending from the sky.

In just a few seconds, the disc-shaped Spaceship had landed steadily on the platform of Kami's Lookout.

"Lord Kami." Popo nervously stepped in front of Kami Piccolo, revealing his fierce loyalty and desire to protect his master.

Simply... unimaginable monsters! There were actually people in this world whose ki could be this powerful!

A storm raged within Kami Piccolo's heart.

Since becoming Kami, this was the first and only time he had sensed the aura of death.

He could only hope that the three outsiders aboard this ship had not come to Earth to invade it.

Creak~~! Creak~~!

The ship's hatch opened, connecting the interior to the outside. Fresh air immediately flooded the Spaceship, prompting Talot, Gine, and Selari, who had yet to emerge, to take deep breaths.

They had been cooped up in the cramped confines of the Spaceship for half a year. If Talot and Selari had both been adults, their room to move would have been even smaller.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of power could make such a huge structure float so high in the sky." Gine took the lead, speaking as she jumped down from the Spaceship.

"Finally, I can stretch properly. I was almost suffocating." Selari jumped down from the Spaceship right after her.

The fresh environment of Kami's Lookout made them feel as though they had entered another world.

Talot came last.

However, after admiring the scenery of Kami's Lookout and sighing inwardly a few times, he focused his attention on Kami Piccolo and Popo in the distance.

The Battle Power Detector immediately began scanning them.

Kami Piccolo, battle power: 220 points.

Popo, battle power: 300 points.

Just as he had predicted.

Just as he was about to say something, Selari suddenly noticed something and said in surprise, "Huh~? This place is strange. My whole body feels so much lighter."

Hearing that, Gine became curious as well, while Talot's memories resurfaced and he immediately realized why.

"I nearly forgot to mention it. The gravity on Planet Vegeta and Aoyun Planet is ten times that of Earth, so Earth makes us feel lighter." Standing on Kami's Lookout, Talot moved around a few times as he spoke.

"So that's why. I thought it was because we'd spent too long inside the Spaceship," Gine said with an enlightened expression.

"Doesn't that mean I'm stronger than before?" Selari said excitedly.

She had not fully understood, but she was not exactly wrong.

In a sense, she really was stronger on Earth.

"Actually, we didn't feel much of a difference. First, because our strength has increased, and second, because we spent half a year aboard the Spaceship, our bodies had already grown accustomed to the optimal living conditions inside one. If the gravity were ten times higher, it would be different for us. At the very least, we would notice it immediately," Talot added.

Gine nodded, and Selari nodded as well, though she only half understood.

Then, Selari took the initiative to look toward Kami Piccolo and Popo in the distance.

"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, are those Earthlings? They look so strange, especially that dark-skinned man," Selari said.

Strange? Of course they were strange!

Leaving Kami Piccolo aside, Popo did not look like an Earthling to begin with.

If he had not lived on Kami's Lookout ever since before the original story began, who would have been willing to accept that he was an Earthling?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Talot's mind.

There was nothing he could say about Popo, but Kami Piccolo was different.

As a Transmigrator, he knew all the information from the original story, but he could not openly reveal that he knew everything, nor could he act as though he could predict the future.

Otherwise, how would he explain it to Gine and Selari?

However, there were some things he could pretend to know a little about and bring up.

For example, Kami Piccolo's identity.

He could claim that he had researched information on some alien races, use that to explain the origins and details of the Namekians, and then lead into the Dragon Balls! Coming to Earth, the Dragon Balls had naturally been one of his goals!

Many things would have to be accomplished by summoning Shenron with the Dragon Balls and making wishes.

Sure enough, it was only when something truly happened—or when he had to face it—that a flash of insight would strike him. He had spent so long wondering how to bring it up before, when in fact it was quite simple. After organizing his thoughts, and seeing that Gine was also curious, Talot began speaking to the two of them.
