Unleash Potential!

Namek

"Alright, everyone shut up!! It's too noisy!"

Before the Grand Elder could speak, Nail interrupted the clamor of the Namekians!

"Tribe members, return to your respective villages!"

After the silence, the Grand Elder also ordered the gathered tribesmen to return!

"As you command, Grand Elder!"

Swish, whoosh!!!

"Young friend Gohan, you've seen a spectacle!" the Grand Elder said amicably.

"It's nothing!!" Son Gohan shrugged.

Might makes right! Son Gohan's explosive combat power had completely convinced the Grand Elder!

"Forgive my impertinence, but since you possess such immense combat power, why not kill Frieza directly and solve the problem at its root?" the Grand Elder asked.

Son Gohan shook his head upon hearing this: "The enemy before us is not necessarily the ultimate enemy. The universe is progressing, and times are developing. While I can easily defeat Frieza now, there are countless beings in this universe far stronger than Frieza! I am not their match yet! But by utilizing the passage of time, I will grow stronger and stronger, enough to face, defeat, and overcome every enemy that appears in the future!"

"Stronger than Frieza? Beings you cannot defeat? Countless? Heh, young friend Gohan, are you joking?" The Grand Elder finally lost his composure, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"..."

"I accept your request. Moori will escort you to visit the various villages to collect the Dragon Balls and make your wish. Piccolo will stay; I have something to discuss with him!" The Grand Elder finally agreed to Son Gohan's request.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Grand Elder. Namek is under my protection!" Son Gohan deactivated his Super Saiyan transformation, returning to his base form.

"Oh, right, I heard that you, Grand Elder, possess the superpower to unlock others' potential. I wonder..." Son Gohan was tempted.

However, his current combat power far exceeded what was in the original story, and he was unsure if the Grand Elder could unlock his potential.

"Son Gohan, the Grand Elder's lifespan is nearing its end, and you are already so powerful. It's unlikely he can unlock your potential!" Nail preempted the Grand Elder, refusing Son Gohan's request on his behalf.

"It's alright, Nail. I can try. As long as the development doesn't exceed my capabilities, it won't affect my lifespan! Young friend Gohan, come here! I am also curious about just how much potential you possess!" The Grand Elder waved, signaling Son Gohan to step forward.

"Alright, it would be best if you could unlock it, but don't force it if you can't. After all, your life is deeply connected to the existence of the Dragon Balls!" Son Gohan strode forward.

The Grand Elder raised his massive palm and placed it on Son Gohan's head.

"Endless potential, no limits, this is terrifying!!!" As soon as the Grand Elder activated his superpower, his expression turned to one of shock.

As the power surged, a sliver of Son Gohan's unfathomable potential was awakened!

Three million, three point five million, four million, five million points!!

"Hoo... I can only do this much!!" The Grand Elder, after only a few seconds of using his superpower, was already panting heavily!! His chest heaved like a bellows!!

"Around five million points. With a fifty-fold Super Saiyan transformation, that's 250 million combat power. It should be enough for the events I'll encounter in the next few years!" Son Gohan muttered to himself.

"Moori, escort young friend Gohan to collect the Dragon Balls!" The Grand Elder, after a moment of recovery, regained a sliver of his strength.

"Yes, Grand Elder. Young friend Gohan, please follow me!" Moori flew out first, with Son Gohan close behind.

"Piccolo, Nail, come here!!"

"Grand Elder!" Nail said respectfully.

"Piccolo, you must return and fuse with Kami's good side. Only then will your body be without any flaws. If you fuse, the Namekian race might even birth a Super Namekian. You absolutely have that potential! Nail, whether I live or die, if Namek faces a crisis in the future and Piccolo seeks to fuse with you, you must not refuse, do you hear me?" the Grand Elder's expression was stern.

"Him??"

"Do you have an objection??" the Grand Elder's gaze was indifferent.

"No, as you command, Grand Elder!" Nail quickly replied.

"Piccolo, child, step forward!!" The Grand Elder turned his benevolent gaze towards Piccolo.

Piccolo involuntarily stepped forward.

Buzz!!!

The Grand Elder unlocked Piccolo's potential!!

Scorching white energy erupted around Piccolo's body!!

His combat power instantly surged from a thousand points to over ten thousand!!

Whoosh!!

"Such abundant power... I've never felt so strong!!" Piccolo could barely contain his excitement!

"Potential, a powerful body, they complement each other. Your potential is also unfathomable. Although not as great as that little fellow's, it's far beyond your current combat power. To unleash your full potential, you must train your body and strengthen your mind to awaken more of it!" The Grand Elder saw Piccolo's inner dissatisfaction and encouraged him.

"Grand Elder, thank you!!" For the first time, Piccolo bowed respectfully to the Grand Elder.

"Alright, you may leave. I am tired. Remember what I told you!" The Grand Elder waved his hand, closed his eyes, and signaled for them to depart.

Seeing the weary Grand Elder close his eyes, Nail and Piccolo cautiously withdrew from the residence!

You ask about the destroyed residence? That was no issue at all. As an all-capable Namekian, the Grand Elder merely used a bit of his power, and the residence was restored to its pristine condition!

"Hmph, if the day the Grand Elder spoke of ever comes, I hope your combat power isn't too low, or the fusion will be with me in charge!" Nail said disdainfully to Piccolo as they exited.

"Just you wait, next time we meet, I'll make you admit defeat!" Piccolo knew he wasn't a match for him right now, so he didn't attack, but instead left a threat.

He was arrogant, not stupid! Knowing he couldn't win and still going to his death was for idiots!

The two were quite awkward together, Piccolo stood up first and headed towards Son Gohan's aura!

Nail, on the other hand, sat cross-legged, guarding the Grand Elder's door!

On Son Gohan's side, it was collected by Moori himself.

In a very short time, the six dragon balls, each the size of a soccer ball, were collected!

The last one was in his tribe!

"Tien, you go summon Porunga!"

Son Gohan turned his gaze to the child hiding behind the Second Elder Moori!

Tien, also the future Kami of Earth in the original work! Apart from not being a combat-type Namekian, his talent was powerful, possessing the excellent Dragon Clan lineage capable of creating dragon balls!

"Hello, Tien!" Son Gohan showed a friendly smile befitting his age for the first time.

"H-hello," Tien seemed a little shy.

"Tien, go!!" Moori gently patted Tien's head.

"Yes, Second Elder!!" Tien respectfully replied, then ran to the seven dragon balls!

He spread his arms, facing the dragon balls, and used the Namekian language to summon the divine dragon!

"Come forth, Porunga, and grant my wish!"

The sky darkened, with lightning and thunder!!
