American Comics: BOSS Invasion

As Qi Shan descended from the sky, a Namekian with a somewhat familiar appearance was already waiting there. He sized up Qi Shan with some nervousness, his eyes filled with vigilance. Although he didn't make any overt movements, it was clear that all his muscles were tense, ready to retaliate the instant Qi Shan made an attacking gesture.

Interesting. It seems the Great Elder has already sensed my presence.

Neru crossed his arms and said coldly, "Who are you?"

Qi Shan pointed to the tendrils on his head: "Isn't it obvious? I am a Namekian. It's just that I only recently acquired this identity. To trace my origins and find out who I really am, I came to Namek.

If I'm not mistaken, the reason you're stopping me is because the Great Elder behind you has already sensed my existence, right?"

After staring at Qi Shan for a while, Neru, though somewhat unwilling, had to obey the Great Elder's orders. Moreover, Qi Shan's current appearance was indeed that of a Namekian.

"You may enter. The Great Elder wishes to see you!"

Qi Shan remained noncommittal.

In fact, he had already decided that if the Namekians didn't cooperate, he would inevitably have to resort to force. But before that, he would probably have to fuse with a Namekian to obtain relevant knowledge and the language of Namek, since using the Namekian Dragon Balls required speaking the Namekian language.

In the original story, the Namekian Dragon Balls could be used because they sent out a translator. Otherwise, even if Shenron was summoned, it wouldn't pay attention to outsiders.

An old voice echoed out. Qi Shan showed no surprise on his face, stepping into the stone house, where he saw a fat Namekian resembling a Meat Mountain Demon King.

The Namekians were very peculiar. They inherently possessed a very long lifespan and didn't need much food to survive. Their overall life characteristics were more like plants than animals, yet they could produce a large number of offspring at the cost of their lifespan.

In the past, Namek also possessed a considerable level of technology. However, technology brought not only convenience but also a disaster that destroyed the entire planet. The fury of nature almost wiped out the Namekian race.

To continue their race, the Namekians pooled all their strength and left behind several Namekian seeds.

Piccolo before he split from Kami was one of them. Now, seeing the Great Elder, he was also one of them.

The current Namek had a population of over a thousand. On the surface, it seemed quite prosperous, but in reality, everyone was born from the Great Elder.

Because he reproduced too many offspring, the Great Elder's lifespan was depleting rapidly.

He was already nearing the end of his life.

"Great Elder, it's a pleasure to meet you! You can also call me Piccolo. Of course, that's the new name I took for myself after arriving on Earth. I have no memory of what I was called before!"

"Earth? Are you from the Earth in the North Galaxy? Wonderful, child! You're still alive!"

The Great Elder was somewhat excited.

For the Namekian Great Elder, who had dedicated his life to propagating the race, nothing was more important than his people.

"It seems I really did come from Namek!"

"Indeed. Over a thousand years ago, our Namek experienced a disaster that nearly destroyed our race. To ensure the race could continue to propagate and wouldn't face complete extinction, we pooled all our strength and built three spaceships.

We sent the most talented infants of Namek on them, sending them to other life-bearing planets.

You are clearly one of them. As for what you were called, it no longer matters. Since you already have a new name, then I will call you Piccolo!

Knowing that you still exist makes me so happy. I don't know what you've experienced, but your body contains powerful fighting strength and potential that I cannot fully fathom."

Qi Shan calmly nodded: "The Great Elder is indeed the Great Elder. It was worth crossing the stars to return to Namek!"

"Child, you have returned this time seeking something, haven't you?"

"That's right. I want to borrow the power of the Dragon Balls to fulfill my wish. If the Great Elder can agree, I can tell you a piece of news in advance that may save Namek from a disaster!"

Neru was furious: "You impudent brat, do you know what you're saying?"

The Great Elder raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be angry for no reason, Neru. He's just a child. Besides, I can feel that he's not lying. Moreover, in recent days, I've also vaguely had a bad feeling, as if one day in the future, a vast and evil force will loom over Namek."

Qi Shan calmly said: "Then what is the Great Elder's decision?"

"Before that, I must understand what you hope to gain by using the power of the Dragon Balls?"

"This question is something I've been considering all the way here. I've previously received information about the Dragon Balls, especially the Dragon Balls on Namek. The Dragon Balls here should be able to grant three wishes.

I don't need that many, just one is enough.

I hope to obtain a seed of a magical plant in the universe, the Neuro Fruit, and the related planting technology!"

Hearing this wish, both the Great Elder and Neru were somewhat surprised.

The Namekians could create Dragon Balls. In the previous prosperous society, Dragon Balls were used for all kinds of magical wishes. Pursuing powerful strength and immortality was almost everyone's choice.

Or using the power of the Dragon Balls to revive people who died unexpectedly.

No one had ever wished to obtain a seed of a fruit, even if the seed was very rare, a wonder in the universe.

"If it's just this, I can agree to it!"

The Great Elder smiled and took out the large One-Star Dragon Ball from his head and handed it to Qi Shan. "Given your situation, you probably can't speak the Namekian language anymore, right? It doesn't matter. I will have someone use the first wish to teach you the Namekian language!"

Qi Shan was somewhat surprised.

Are people of the same race so helpful?

Or is Piccolo's identity itself extraordinary? In any case, since he was able to obtain the Dragon Ball peacefully, there was no need to resort to force.

"Thank you very much!" Qi Shan said: "The news is about the Universe Emperor Frieza. If I'm not mistaken, he has already obtained information about the Dragon Balls through some means. Before long, he will lead the Frieza Force to descend on Namek."
