There was no way to bring Bardock back. Even though they had obtained a feasible plan, there was no way to let Bardock know.
Talot fell silent, and Salari looked disappointed as well.
They had thought it might work, but the wish remained unfulfilled.
“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can do.”
“Please state your other wishes,” Porunga asked.
Everyone looked back at Talot, waiting for him to speak.
After some thought, Talot decided to change his original plan and chose to make a different wish.
Initially, the first wish was either to bring Bardock back or to teleport Raditz over.
Since he anticipated that even Porunga might not be able to bring Bardock back, the first wish should have been to use Porunga to bring Raditz over.
Now, the plan has changed.
Talot suddenly realized that his past wishes on Earth had been heavily influenced by Gine. He had felt compelled to make wishes that took her feelings into account.
Now with this strength, plus the improved spaceship, he can completely take the initiative to understand the movements of the Frieza Force, lock onto the Saiyan team, and then go find them himself.
In short, using a wish to bring Raditz over felt like a waste at this point.
…
Nearly ten minutes passed. After Talot made his wishes, Porunga departed.
As the golden glow faded, the seven dragon balls turned into stones due to the consumption of wish power. They will need to wait for Namek’s cooling period of 130 days before they return to their original state.
Notably, unlike Earth’s Dragon Balls, the Namek’s Dragon Balls didn’t scatter around the world after wishes were made, so there was no need to search for them.
With Porunga’s disappearance, the darkness enveloping Namek also faded away.
Talot felt the changes within his body, marveling at Porunga’s incredible abilities. Moreover, it also provided benefits. Compared to the green-skinned earthworm on Earth, it was far superior.
This perfectly illustrates the principle that those with less ability tend to be more arrogant, while those with greater ability are more approachable and humble.
Three wishes.
The first wish granted Talot the Instant Transmission technique of the Yardratians.
Not only did Porunga fulfill this, but he also gave Talot a free upgrade.
After the upgrade, not only can he perform ultra-long-distance spatial jumps by locking onto the target’s aura, but he can also perform different levels of spatial travel based on his own strength, all without needing a medium.
No need for a medium!
What does this mean? It means that as long as Talot wants, he can activate this technique and teleport to any place he desires with just a thought.
In battle, an ability like this which leaves no trace can become the key to victory by taking the enemy by surprise.
The second wish was originally to obtain the training method for God Ki. After all, in the latter part of the original work, it’s the era of gods.
But this wish crossed into the realm of gods, and even though Porunga was incredibly powerful, he couldn’t break those limitations.
Moreover, according to Porunga, only Gods have the method on how to become a God.
Porunga took the initiative to communicate with Talot, and in the end, even told Talot about the method to transform into Super Saiyan God, which can also be considered an alternative path to train God Ki.
However, to transform into a Super Saiyan God in the current era, Talot would need the help of five Saiyans with righteous hearts—a task nearly impossible, even with Gine and Salari’s help.
After all, there were only a few Saiyans known to be left, apart from them.
And Talot wasn’t sure if he himself met the requirement for “righteous.”
In the end, the second wish was changed to acquire the most comprehensive method of Ki training.
In a sense, Talot still has a limited understanding of Ki training; even though he had encountered Earth’s Kami, Son Gohan, and the Turtle Hermit, they themselves do not have a complete understanding of Ki training.
The training method granted by Porunga combined ancient and modern insights, opening a new world of possibilities for Talot.
For his third wish, he wished for powerful regenerative abilities.
Without changing his original body, Porunga gave Talot a regeneration technique. As long as he had enough energy, he could convert it into life force to heal injuries.
This ability was extraordinary. According to Porunga, it could even regenerate lost limbs.
In summary, after making these three wishes, Talot had become even more perfect.
As for any other wishes, they’d have to wait until next time.
With the wishes done, Talot discussed a few matters with the Grand Elder. Through the Grand Elder and Ragar, Talot was introduced to the elders and warriors of each village on Namek.
Afterwards, they took their leave, each carrying the dragon ball that their village guarded.
Under the Grand Elder’s arrangements, Talot and Salari began staying on Planet Namek for the time being.
Having grown stronger and his wishes fulfilled, although there is another goal, he has only just arrived on Planet Namek and is not in a hurry to leave.
Moreover, Talot still wants to use the Dragon Balls to make three more wishes, and since he finally has an opponent like Ragar, if he makes good use of this opportunity, his strength can significantly increase in a short period.
…
Planet Namek has no night.
However, according to Talot and Salari’s biological clocks, it is currently nighttime and they should be sleeping.
However, unlike in the past, due to the improvement of their strength, neither of them felt like sleeping, both full of energy and spirit.
Salari, eager to test her strength and see just how powerful she’d become, challenged Talot to a fight.
After a sparring session with her, Talot instructed her to use the Gravity Chamber to improve her control over her power.
Taking advantage of this break, Talot used the communicator on their spaceship to get in touch with Earth.
He updated Brief and Bulma about the situation on Namek and asked Brief to pass along some news to Gine.
Even though Porunga couldn’t fulfill the wish to bring Bardock back, it offered an alternative. Perhaps in the future, Bardock might find a way to return on his own.
As for Raditz, there was no need to use the Eternal Dragon to make a wish. With the upgraded spaceship’s intelligent system, they could intercept information from Frieza Forces. By tracking Raditz’s future movements, Talot could use the spaceship to find him directly.
After reporting to Earth that they were safe and sound and ending the call, Talot breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling completely stress-free.
There weren’t many things to handle, but they were quite complicated.
He was a simple person, rarely overthinking things. But since transmigrating over, anything involving the original storyline or matters with Gine and Salari seemed to make him indecisive.
“Starting today, I need to change myself completely!”
People must look forward. Without shedding the past and changing, there can be no progress.
By leaving Earth this time, Talot had already decided he wouldn’t return anytime soon.
Stepping outside the spaceship, Talot leaped and landed on top of the spaceship. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began training his Ki, consolidating his strength.
