A mysterious light flowed slowly through Piccolo's body like a clear spring, bathing him from head to toe.
Wherever the light passed, his skin shimmered with a faint glow, and he felt as if every cell in his body had been awakened by this mysterious power.
At that moment, Piccolo radiated an overwhelming aura. His soul grew stronger under the Light's cleansing.
The former Piccolo, limited by his lack of strength, had always carried a trace of unease and confusion.
Now, however, his gaze was firm and confident, and the once-suppressed, frustrated version of himself had completely disappeared.
Mr. Popo, standing nearby, looked at Piccolo in astonishment as a flash of surprise passed through his eyes. "Lord Piccolo has truly become stronger!"
Piccolo closed his eyes and sensed the flow of energy within his body. As his power increased, the worries and pressure that had plagued him for years gradually faded away.
This wonderful feeling intoxicated him, making it difficult to pull himself out of it. Just as he was immersed in joy, an extremely sinister aura suddenly spread.
Piccolo frowned slightly, sensing that this presence had descended upon Earth and that Krillin and the others were confronting it.
The corner of his mouth lifted into a confident smile.
Then, with a light flick of his cape, he casually waved to Mr. Popo and Paragus before turning and leaving.
At the edge of the Lookout, Piccolo leapt forward, soaring into the distance like a powerful eagle.
His figure gradually disappeared on the horizon, leaving Mr. Popo and Paragus to gaze after him with anticipation and admiration.
His body transformed into a streak of light flying straight toward Baby Aize's location.
…
In the desolate wasteland, BabyAize gazed up at the sky.
The crimson Shenron had vanished without a trace, and Krillin and the others shared his astonishment.
Krillin gazed at the sky in confusion. Then he turned to Yamcha and asked, "Yamcha, was that Shenron just now?"
Yamcha's mouth hung open in disbelief before he replied. "L..Looks like it, but I've never seen a Shenron like that before."
"It seemed like the disturbance came from the Lookout. What happened over there?"
Master Roshi and Chiaotzu shared the same stunned reaction as Yamcha.
Only Tien Shinhan dared not let his guard down. His Neo Tri-Beam (Shin Kikōhō) had finished gathering again, and he launched another attack straight at Baby Aize.
He warned them, "Don't lose focus! Krillin, take Pan and get out of here! This guy's target is the Saiyans!"
As Shenron disappeared, Baby Aize's attention returned to the battlefield.
His sinister gaze settled on Pan once again. Already shaken by the sudden shock, Pan became even more flustered. Although Krillin was not as strong as Pan, as a veteran Z Warrior, his combat experience far surpassed hers.
At a glance, he could tell that Baby Aize was about to make his move.
Krillin summoned a Destructo Disc and hurled it fiercely at Baby Aize.
Baby Aize was restrained by the Neo Tri-Beam (Shin Kikōhō), but the effect was almost negligible.
His expression shifted. He cast a contemptuous glance at Tien Shinhan, a wicked smile curling the corners of his mouth, and a red laser burst forth from his fingertip.
"Brother Tien!!! Be careful!" Chiaotzu screamed with all his might.
Tien Shinhan's pupils instantly constricted—at that moment, he could sense death approaching. On the brink of life and death, a spiraling laser shot down from the sky. It struck the laser Baby Aize had fired, intercepting it midair.
Everyone's astonished gazes snapped upward in unison.
They saw Piccolo's figure reflected in their eyes.
"P-… Piccolo?!" ×4
The moment she saw Piccolo arrive, Pan's expression changed instantly.
"Grandpa Piccolo!"
Piccolo revealed a gentle smile and looked down at Baby Aize on the ground.
As he examined Baby Aize, he quickly noticed something unusual and questioned him, "Oh? A guy who looks like Frieza?"
Baby Aize let out a disdainful laugh. "Hmph, Frieza? Is he worthy of being mentioned alongside me? Once I finish killing the Saiyans, it'll be his turn to die."
"I won't spare a single one of them... Saiyans or Frieza! Damn it...!"
But before Baby Aize could finish speaking, a golden beam of light shot straight into his body.
Caught completely off guard, he had no time to dodge and was blasted away.
A trace of contempt flashed through Piccolo's eyes as he declared, "Get out of Earth, or be killed here. The choice is yours."
The power Piccolo had just unleashed left Earth's warriors utterly dumbfounded.
Shock and disbelief filled their eyes.
Krillin frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Piccolo. "Has Piccolo gotten stronger?"
Master Roshi's expression turned serious. Looking at Piccolo, he felt as though he were seeing the shadow of the old Kami. Yamcha, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief. It seemed he wouldn't need to take part in the battle.
"As expected, Earth is better off being protected by Saiyans or Namekians. We Earthlings should probably step aside."
Up in the sky, Tien Shinhan's mouth lifted slightly. He could sense that Piccolo was different. This might have something to do with Shenron from earlier. Either way, things were moving in a positive direction.
The Baby Aizen, who had been blasted away, now wore a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected to be ambushed while speaking.
Such humiliation was absolutely intolerable to him.
He lifted his darkened face sharply. Suddenly, a crafty glint flashed through his eyes, and he appeared right beside Piccolo.
Bang…!
His fist slammed straight into Piccolo's chest.
Piccolo didn't dodge at all, though; he simply gave a confident smile.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Punch after punch was thrown by both of them in rapid succession, filling the entire sky with dull, thunderous impacts.
For a moment, the two seemed evenly matched.
But in the next second, that balance was broken.
Baby Aize fought as if he were adapting to his body, growing fiercer by the moment. Then, with a loud boom, his hand pierced Piccolo's chest at blinding speed.
"Heh heh, I thought you were something special. Turns out you're no different from the rest of that trash."
With that, Baby Aize pulled his arm straight out of Piccolo's chest.
Just as Baby Aize believed Piccolo was dead for sure, Piccolo suddenly exerted force, kicking Baby Aize away with one powerful leg.
Bang...!
Piccolo let out a furious shout, flinging off his cape and turban. At that instant, his energy surged wildly and explosively, like a chain being shattered.
Baby Aize looked at Piccolo strangely.
The massive hole he had just punched through had healed unbelievably fast, and he had become even stronger.
'How interesting.'
