This strength was already very close to Vegeta's strength when he first appeared in the original work.
As for Krillin, as the strongest Earthling of the current era, his progress was also nothing to scoff at. Although not as powerful as Tien Shinhan, his power level had broken past the ten-thousand mark and stabilized around 14,000.
Next was Yamcha, whose strength was second only to the three of them. After the battle three months ago, his progress was remarkable as well. His power level had reached 12,000.
Following him was Chiaotzu, the one who possessed psychic abilities.
Although Chiaotzu ranked last among them in terms of raw power, it was worth noting that his psychic powers and mental suppression had improved dramatically.
Even though his power level hadn't yet reached 5,000, under the enhancement of his psychic abilities, he could still suppress and overpower an opponent with a power level exceeding 10,000.
The Earth's warriors had made truly impressive progress.
Then there was the Saiyan prince who had been stranded on Earth, whose whereabouts remained unknown. No one knew where he was, but given Vegeta's talent, his progress was surely not insignificant.
As for Talot, his situation was entirely different from everyone else's.
Aside from the time when North Kai personally asked him to go to Hell to suppress Frieza once more, Talot had basically taken no further action.
Every day, he stayed by his family's side, enjoying a peaceful and leisurely life.
And today marked a very special day.
With the help of the Angel Whis, Salari successfully gave birth, and Talot's first daughter was born.
This meant a great deal to Talot.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he truly experienced what it felt like to become a father.
This feeling was so wonderful and special that he couldn't put it into words.
To celebrate his daughter's safe birth, Bulma held a grand banquet, inviting all their friends and old acquaintances to her home in advance.
Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Turtle, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu.
Korin, Kami, and the attendant Popo.
The Old Supreme Kai, the East Supreme Kai, and the Supreme Kai's attendant, Kibito.
And of course, they didn't forget North Kai from North Kai's Planet.
...
During the banquet.
Everyone gathered together, enjoying delicious food while sharing stories about their recent experiences.
As the midwife, Whis once again got to taste a wide variety of Earth's cuisine, feeling extremely delighted.
Although he had visited Earth several times recently to check on Salari's condition, he hadn't indulged in such a grand feast before.
The chatter was lively as everyone exchanged their plans.
Taking advantage of North Kai's presence, Raditz smoothly introduced Goku to him, hoping North Kai could guide Goku in training.
Compared to the original timeline, Goku met North Kai earlier. Although he was already much stronger than before, this was still an incredible opportunity for him.
Under North Kai's training, with Goku's potential, his progress would likely become even faster.
When it came to training and getting stronger, Goku naturally wouldn't refuse. As long as it made him stronger, he was willing to do anything, especially after witnessing the later transformations of Super Saiyan, his desire for power had reached its peak.
North Kai agreed to the request.
After all, he had been observing Goku for some time, and Talot had previously mentioned him as well.
Now that the timing was right, bringing him to North Kai's Planet for training wasn't a problem.
Not far away, Nappa and the other Earthling warriors, upon hearing that Goku would be training under North Kai, all had their eyes light up.
The chance to become stronger was right before them, who wouldn't want to seize it?
And so, Nappa took the lead, followed closely by Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Yamcha.
The group quickly approached North Kai, earnestly asking him to train them the same way he was going to train Goku.
Faced with a group of people suddenly requesting his guidance in training, North Kai was momentarily stunned.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Rather than training just one person, it's better to train a group. Not only would it be easier to manage, but it is also more conducive to the improvement of their strength.
North Kai agreed to their request, and everyone rejoiced.
Everything seemed to be proceeding as smoothly as if it were destined to happen.
This scene was witnessed by Kami from not far away.
At this moment, it could be said that he was feeling extremely frustrated; the main reason was the overwhelming pressure he felt being just a small-time Earth Kami in this gathering of big shots.
Moreover, he was on guard against all sorts of things back then, yet the result was that Talot changed the Earth, changed this world, and became its guardian deity.
As a Kami, he had become an almost redundant existence.
...
At this time, on Talot's side.
After handing his soundly sleeping child to Salari and gently urging her to rest, Talot left the room.
He had planned to head to the courtyard to chat with everyone, but suddenly sensed a faint aura nearby and walked about a hundred meters to the left.
Talot's movements caught the attention of a few people present.
However, no one thought much of it.
The person hiding in the shadows, upon seeing Talot approach directly, became so frightened that their aura leaked out.
"Don't be nervous. In fact, I noticed your presence a few days ago. I just didn't call you out. But since I'm in a good mood today and you're here, why don't you come out? I can guarantee that no one will hurt you." Talot spoke with a gentle smile toward a nearby shrubbery.
The person hiding in the bush stopped trembling after hearing Talot's words.
Then, to everyone's surprise, a green-skinned boy emerged from the shrubbery under their watchful eyes.
His sudden appearance left everyone present utterly shocked.
That's right! The green-skinned child was none other than the reincarnation of the Demon King, the newly born Piccolo!
[It's him!!]Kami was dumbfounded the moment he saw Piccolo Jr..
He never imagined that Piccolo Jr. would dare show up here, and at this kind of occasion…
No! Judging by Talot's words, Piccolo Jr. had actually been here for several days already. Talot had simply chosen not to expose him until now.
"So that's it… the child hatched from that egg back then, huh? The offspring of Great Demon King Piccolo, I didn't expect we'd meet here." Master Roshi adjusted his sunglasses and slowly stood up with the stick in his hand.
After all, it was he who had personally slain the old Piccolo.
Since Piccolo Jr. had appeared before them, it would be only fitting for him to handle this matter.
Of course, it would still depend on Talot's decision; after all, in such a joyful atmosphere, no one wished for bloodshed.
Feeling all eyes on him, Piccolo Jr. tensed up, his nerves stretched taut as he scanned everyone around him warily.
He hadn't expected that Talot would expose him in this situation.
He had overestimated himself and underestimated Talot. The moment he had arrived, Talot had already sensed him but had simply chosen to say nothing.
The reason he came here was actually to secretly learn some things from Talot and become stronger.
The old Piccolo was the old Piccolo; he was himself.
Though he had inherited that legacy, in truth, this Piccolo was not the same as old Piccolo.
At the very least, the old Piccolo's evil soul was now in Hell.
