The vast starry sky shimmered with silver light as a small spacecraft navigated through the cosmos.

Kasso remained in hibernation within the ship; he knew that worrying was useless, and he could only hope to reach Namek before the great explosion of Planet Vegeta.

Three months passed.

Namek was a planet located on the edge of the universe, with a diameter more than ten times that of Earth.

The star system where this planet resided was unique, with three small suns orbiting the planet in unison, ensuring there was never any darkness.

Namek's orbital path was elliptical with an eccentricity of nearly zero, and its average orbital velocity was similar to that of Earth.

The Namekians were entirely green, hairless, and possessed two antennae on their heads used for light sensitivity and discharging electricity. Their green skin functioned similarly to plant photosynthesis; as long as they drank water, they could utilize photosynthesis to produce starch to satisfy their physiological needs.

At this moment.

In a Namekian village, several Namekian children were playing!

"Look, what is that?" one of the young Namekians pointed at a streak of fire in the sky.

The sky on Namek was naturally dim, and the firelight illuminated the area; ahead of the flames was something resembling a nuclear warhead, hurtling toward the ground at extreme speed!

"Is it a meteorite from beyond the sky? Hurry and tell the Grand Elder!"

The Namekian children scattered, running toward a large, white, bun-shaped house!

A spherical spacecraft transformed into a dragon of fire from the sky and slammed fiercely into the ground.

BOOM!

A massive crater appeared in the earth.

Kasso woke from his hibernation and leaped out of the ship.

The pale green sky, the blue grass—everything was so beautiful.

After years of recuperation, Namek had recovered from the drastic climate change that had occurred many years ago.

Kasso took a deep breath; the air on Namek was fresh, like being in the wild during springtime, and the crisp scent made him feel pleasant.

The fresh air and beautiful environment eased Kasso's anxious heart slightly.

Thinking of how Goku had transformed into a Super Saiyan here, only for Namek to explode shortly after, it was a pity that such a beautiful planet had been destroyed like that.

However, remembering that Namek was later restored through Earth's Dragon Balls, Kasso's mood improved a little.

It had been over a year since he transmigrated, and Kasso's strength had grown at a visible rate; he now possessed a battle power of 2000.

With only three months left until the great explosion of Vegeta, it was highly unrealistic to try and save the Saiyans with this level of battle power.

Fortunately, there were magical things like the Dragon Balls.

Kasso looked around, wondering if the Grand Elder would agree to lend the Dragon Balls to a Saiyan like him.

If the Grand Elder was unwilling to lend them, Kasso would truly be at his wit's end.

In the anime, he knew that not all Namekians were weak; they were divided into combat types, healing types, and so on, with Piccolo and Nail being the most famous among the combat types.

Right, and there was also Slug from the movie!

Their strength was far greater than Kasso's current level.

Under these circumstances, if Kasso couldn't borrow the Dragon Balls, he had no way to seize them by force!

Of course, Earth had Dragon Balls too, but there was no time left!

Suddenly!

A small green dot appeared in the sky, surrounded by a white aura.

As the small green dot drew closer, the visitor finally came into view.

It was a child with a serious and cold expression, identical to the young Piccolo.

"Who are you!" The green-skinned child landed beside Kasso and said coldly.

Kasso didn't speak, lost in thought; could this child be Nail?

"My name is Kasso, and I've come to ask the Grand Elder for help!" Kasso said.

Young Nail's eyebrows lifted slightly; the Namekians hadn't had contact with the outside world for many years, yet this person knew of the Grand Elder!

Hearing that he wanted to see the Grand Elder, Young Nail's tone became even colder: "The Grand Elder will not help you. Leave."

The Grand Elder was very old, and Young Nail did not want him to be disturbed.

Kasso had studied Nail and knew this was just his personality; the person before him was indeed Nail, but he hadn't expected his temperament to be so truly annoying.

"I really have an urgent matter; please, just report it," Kasso said, not wanting to cause trouble and keeping his tone humble.

Young Nail stood in front of him, watching with cold eyes, not saying a word.

In his previous life of over twenty years, Kasso had never been this angry; it was just a request to pass on a message, was it really that difficult?

Since the other party ignored him, Kasso turned to leave.

"Without you, can't I just find him myself?"

Kasso sneered, flying into the sky to begin searching for the location of the Grand Elder.

"Stop!"

Young Nail rushed up, intent on blocking Kasso.

"You had better leave Namek right now, or I won't be polite," Young Nail said.

Hearing this, Kasso crossed his small arms over his chest, mimicking the posture of an adult, curious to see exactly how Young Nail intended to make him regret it.

A moment passed.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing Kasso remain completely indifferent, Young Nail flew into an instant rage.

Young Nail clenched his fists, erupting with a powerful force as a white aura expanded in an instant, sending a wave of overwhelming pressure surging in all directions.

Is that it?

Kasso curled his lip; in his eyes, Young Nail's aura was nothing more than mediocre.

If his sensing was correct, Young Nail only had a Battle Power of around 1,500, much the same as it had been over half a year ago.

For a little brat to reach such a level of Battle Power, he was truly worthy of being called a combat-type genius of Namek.

However, that was as far as it went.

On Mumu Planet, Kasso had undergone grueling training for half a year, fighting wild beasts every single day, which had elevated his combat techniques to a whole new level. Coupled with a Battle Power 500 points higher than Young Nail's, he didn't believe a little brat could be his match.

With a "whoosh," Young Nail vanished from his original position.

For a moment, only Kasso's figure remained in the sky.

Kasso smiled disdainfully. If he had tried to use such a move against him a year ago, Kasso might have been helpless, but he had long since mastered the sensing of "Ki" on Mumu Planet.

Kasso looked up.

Sure enough, a ripple appeared in the space above.

Young Nail descended from above like a bolt of lightning, striking toward Kasso at high speed. He did not want to use a move that was too powerful, lest he accidentally cause damage to the planet, which was something he did not wish to see.

Therefore, Young Nail used only half of his strength.

Kasso sensed Young Nail's movement and dodged the attack by shifting to the side.

"I'll make a bet with you!" Kasso flew to the side and said indifferently.

"Speak."

Seeing that his attack had been ineffective, Young Nail immediately pulled back, waiting to see what this little brat had to say.

However, he no longer dared to underestimate this human. Among his peers in the clan, no one could have dodged that sudden attack of his; he hadn't expected some random outsider to be able to evade it so easily.
