On the vast land, a long and straight mountain stood tall like a towering tower at the center of the archipelago. A gentle wind blew from the top, swaying the door of a worm-like dwelling perched on the foothills, making it float upwards.

Nail stepped out from inside the dwelling and gazed into the distance. He had decided to stay and guard the great elders instead of joining the battles elsewhere. Planet Namek had already suffered enough damage, and he believed that he could be of more help protecting the last hope.

Thus, the elder instructed him to receive some guests who were on their way.

Guests? Were there still helpers coming to Namek? Nail was puzzled, but he fully trusted the words of the great elder.

With both hands behind him, his long coat fluttering in the wind, Nail's eyes sparkled as he saw a group of people flying towards them in the distance. Weren't they his Namekian companions? And behind them were a few unfamiliar aliens. Could they be the guests?

Nail concealed his doubts and remained calm on the surface. He carefully observed the group, especially comparing their Ki.

"Nail!" The Namekian warrior greeted from afar.

"Gacos! The elder asked me to wait here!"

"Yes, the elder already know." The group stopped in front of the house.

"Please come in."

Nail extended his hand, allowing Raditz and others to enter the room. He led the way as they all advanced.

Together, they entered the house and, filled with curiosity and questions, they finally saw the legendary elder.

The elder's bloated body was confined to a seat, appearing frail and weak. He had been in poor health for quite some time, with one foot already stepping into the door of death.

Behind him was a massive dragon ball. When the guests saw the Dragon Ball, their eyes gleamed.

"Thank you for saving my children. I didn't expect you to possess such powerful strength." The elder's keenly sensed the strength of the guests.

"We just lent a helping hand," Raditz modestly waved his hand, while Tumat nervously hid behind him.

"The malevolence has spread throughout Namek. It's truly fortunate to have you at this critical moment. I feel a glimmer of hope..."

"We're here for this matter, hoping to seek your assistance."

"Oh, I see. That person looks very familiar... You're from Earth... Katas child, truly remarkable. I never imagined you would survive. It's impressive," the elders looked at Piccolo and seemed to know everything about him. "May I touch your head? Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Upon seeing the elders, there was warmth in Piccolo's heart. He hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to the request.

He took the initiative, and the grand elder gently placed his hand on Piccolo's head.

"You're amazing. To dispel evil thoughts and divide yourself into two beings, your power is also reduced. If you were united, you might be able to defeat the current formidable enemy. Unfortunately..." the elder shook his head slightly, as if he felt sorry for Piccolo.

Among the Namekians, most were peace-loving ordinary people, with only a few combat-talented individuals becoming warriors. Above them were the rare geniuses known as dragon type namekians. They possessed talents and abilities that ordinary Namekians lacked, and they were even capable of creating Dragon Balls.

Piccolo, being a fusion of Kami and a Namekian, could not only create Dragon Balls but was also a rare warrior. He was a dragon genius appearing once in a hundred years. It was no wonder the elder felt a sense of pity.

"I can only help you awaken your potential. What you can achieve ultimately depends on you."

The elder's hands suddenly emitted a gentle aura, surrounding Piccolo. This energy seemed to tap into Piccolo's hidden power and forced it out. Suddenly, Piccolo's strength surged several times, and he felt an incredible power coursing through him!

Astonishing energy burst from his body, leaving Nail astounded!

As a combat-type Namekian, he had never witnessed such immense power before!

Piccolo was so excited that he almost burst out of the room, overwhelmed by the newfound strength.

"This is incredible! Piccolo has become so much stronger!" Goku couldn't help but exclaim. Pointing at himself, he asked, "Can I do it too?"

"As long as you have the potential, you can be awakened. The more righteous you are, the better." The elder chuckled.

Goku eagerly approached the elder, seeking to awaken his potential.

Everyone was envious and took turns to undergo the enhancement process. Only Vegeta, with his pride, hesitated for a while. Despite being surpassed by Raditz and Goku after his potential was unlocked, he eventually allowed himself to undergo the process.

"Your potential is tremendous. Honestly, I can only unlock part of it, but even so, I'm astonished." The elder said, looking slightly tired.

Though unlocking potential doesn't affect one's lifespan, doing it repeatedly left the elder feeling somewhat fatigued, especially since he was already on the brink of life and death.

"Thank you, elder! There's one more thing – we need to stop them and take this Dragon Ball..." Raditz felt a bit embarrassed as he pointed to the one above the planet.

The elder replied with an understanding "Oh" and took the Dragon Ball down. "I'll hand this Dragon Ball over to you. Now, only a few of you can protect the Dragon Balls. It's the future of Namekians and the future of the universe. Here, take it." He then threw the Dragon Ball, and Raditz caught it.

"Thank you, great elder."

"You must stop those evil individuals..."

"Rest assured, we won't let them get the Dragon Balls." Krillin patted his chest, full of confidence.

The elder smiled kindly, saying, "Please. The few of you here are Namekian's last fighting warriors. Let them assist you."

Vegeta snorted, though he didn't say it, he felt disdainful in his heart. After his potential was unlocked, his strength and consciousness had soared, and he was even entertaining the idea of challenging Frieza directly!

Raditz had a similar thought. He didn't want to continue acting cautiously. He said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but let them stay to protect you. We'll save the next village. Please rest assured."

"I agree," Nail chimed in. "Elders, don't hesitate. Let them go. We are the best choice for guarding you."

"Even if you say so, alright." The elder agreed.

Raditz and the others left the house.

Once outside, they split into two groups. One group escorted the Dragon Ball back to their camp, while the other followed the radar to find the last village.

They now had two Dragon Balls in their possession. As for Slug, he had three Dragon Balls due to his head start, and Turles had managed to obtain one later.

Only the last Dragon Ball remained, and its acquisition would undoubtedly spark a fierce battle!
