As Dende's special power surged into the Shenron model,
The Shenron model shimmered with golden light, and then the entire model seemed to come to life, transforming into a golden dragon soaring into the sky.
Dragon might surged, causing ripples in space, and the entire Kami's Lookout shook under this astonishing dragon might.
The Shenron model transformed into a golden Shenron appearance at this moment, then shattered into pieces, turning into seven golden lights that scattered towards different corners of Earth.
Before long, Kami's Lookout returned to its usual tranquility.
"Just like that, the Dragon Balls are restored?" Bulma approached and asked Dende.
"Theoretically, they should be restored. Moreover, I made a slight upgrade to Shenron. We need to gather the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to confirm whether my upgrade was successful," Dende replied obediently.
Hearing this, Bulma blinked even more curiously. What could the upgrade Dende mentioned be?
Was it that the upper limit of Shenron's wish-granting ability had been increased, or... had the number of wishes that could be granted increased? After all, Namek Planet's Porunga could grant three wishes.
"Since that's the case, then we shouldn't delay. Let's go back to West City first to get the Dragon Ball Radar, and then find the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and test it out," Talot said.
He was also very interested, after all, in his timeline, Earth's Shenron had not yet been strengthened.
"Then let's go," Bulma said, but Talot shook his head slightly.
"You wait for me here. Tell me where the Dragon Ball Radar is, and I'll find the Dragon Balls as quickly as possible. This will save the most time."
Bulma heard this and thought it made sense. Anyway, the final wish-granting location would be at Kami's Lookout. Instead of going through the trouble of running back and forth together, it was better to stay at Kami's Lookout and wait slowly. After all, with Talot's ability, collecting all the Dragon Balls shouldn't take long. So, she said, "The Dragon Ball Radar is in the drawer of the desk in the laboratory next to the Master Bedroom, you should know that, right?"
"If the habits are the same and the layout hasn't changed, I should know where you put it. Then I'll take my leave first, see you later." Talot finished speaking to Bulma, then nodded to Popo and Dende, and with a thought, Instant Transmission was used again, directly returning from Kami's Lookout to his home in West City.
...
Future Trunks was currently sitting on the sofa, waiting for Talot and Bulma's return.
After sensing Talot's aura, Future Trunks' expression shook, and he quickly got up, looking towards the source of the aura.
After confirming Talot's return, he revealed a smile.
"Mr. Talot, you're back," Future Trunks said to Talot.
"Yes, you're waiting for me here specifically, there must be something else. If you have anything you want to say, you can be frank, no need to hide it," Talot saw Future Trunks' hesitation.
Hearing this, Future Trunks mustered his courage and spoke out his thoughts, even bowing respectfully to Talot to show his determination.
"To be honest, I would like to ask you to guide my training, to obtain the power of Beyond Super Saiyan!"
"I see, I thought it was something important. I can see you're worried, worried that you were disrespectful to me yesterday, so you're afraid I won't teach you, right? You don't have to think that way, because to me, you're just a junior, and you have this determination, which means you already have the idea of becoming stronger and ending the chaotic world of the future yourself! That's very good, at least you have the awareness to stand alone, and you will become extremely powerful."
Seeing that Future Trunks' attitude was very sincere, Talot didn't make things difficult for him and decided to help him.
After all, the fragmented future world was really very cruel, and it was not easy for Future Trunks to persevere until now.
"I can teach you! But all I can teach you is the method. In my opinion, your best teacher should be your father, Vegeta." Seeing Trunks get excited, Talot added.
"You mean... let me and my father follow you to cultivate, to surpass Super Saiyan?!" Future Trunks asked doubtfully.
This made Talot's expression slightly stunned.
But it was okay for him to think that way, after all, he could indeed give Vegeta some pointers later.
"You and Vegeta will get twice the result with half the effort if you cultivate together. With the method I provide, you can enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to cultivate. In there, one day outside is one year inside. If you want to become stronger quickly, that place is the best training ground for you and Vegeta." Talot revealed the information about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Hearing the reminder, Future Trunks was shocked.
One day outside, one year inside, this was a treasure land for people like them who were eager to become stronger quickly! It completely made up for the problem of time.
As long as they could increase their power in a very short period of time, after returning to the future world, killing the Androids and Cell, the crisis in the future world could be resolved.
"Don't be happy too early, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is not as simple as you think. Not only is the environment harsh inside, but a person can only cultivate inside for two years in their lifetime. Once this time is exceeded, the exit will disappear, and you will be trapped in the other dimension forever, unless your power is strong enough to tear a gap in the other dimension, otherwise you will never be able to get out," Talot said.
Trunks was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a restriction.
"Thank you for your guidance, so what should I do next? Uncle Talot." Future Trunks expressed his gratitude to Talot, and then asked, changing his address from Mr. to Uncle.
This kid knows what's good for him, knows how to behave.
"Go find your father Vegeta, then go to Kami's Lookout, I will guide you on how to break through there, and then you can enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Leaving a sentence, Talot turned and walked towards the laboratory.
Hearing this, Trunks couldn't wait to sense the aura.
He had to share this news with his father as quickly as possible.
After Trunks left, Talot found the Dragon Ball Radar and learned the locations of the seven Dragon Balls.
For anyone else, collecting all the Dragon Balls in a short amount of time would take at least several hours.
Just like Son Goku searching for the Dragon Balls in the original story.
But for Talot, who had mastered Space Power, finding the seven Dragon Balls in a short amount of time was a piece of cake.
After determining the direction and distance of the nearest Dragon Ball, Talot immediately used Instant Transmission and disappeared from the room.
...
Meanwhile, in a suburban park in South City.
The Android trio, aimlessly wandering through the human city, happened to arrive here as a resting place.
The time they had been asleep was too long, and the speed of modern society's development was too fast, causing them to feel uncomfortable. They wanted to integrate, but they were out of place. It would take a long time to fully adapt.
Just as the three were about to set off again to the next town, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in a corner of the park.
The three of them were attracted at the same time. After approaching, Android 18 was the first to see the shining ball.
It was an orange sphere with seven orange pentagonal stars embedded inside.
This sphere was the Seven-Star Dragon Ball.
"This ball... looks special." Android 18 bent down, picked up the Seven-Star Dragon Ball, and examined it carefully in her hand.
Her intuition told her that this ball was not simple.
Android 17 was also watching, just about to speak...
Whoosh~~!!
Suddenly, a sound of rushing air came from in front of them.
Talot appeared just in time.
The group exchanged glances, wide eyes staring at each other.
"It's you!" Android 17's face was full of vigilance, and Android 16 seemed calm, but in reality, he was prepared for the worst.
"It's you three, what a coincidence." Talot said with slight surprise.
He used Instant Transmission to come here based on the location of the Dragon Ball, but he didn't expect to run into Android 18 and the others here. It was indeed a bit too coincidental.
The most important thing was that the Dragon Ball was in Android 18's hand.
Android 18 blinked her beautiful eyes. Although she was very surprised by Talot's sudden arrival, she noticed that Talot's gaze was focused on the ball in her hand.
Before she could ask, Talot bluntly said, "Can you give me the Dragon Ball in your hand?"
"So this thing is called a Dragon Ball? I knew this ball wasn't simple." Android 18 looked at the Seven-Star Dragon Ball in her hand and said.
Talot appeared here not for them, but for the Dragon Ball.
Although she didn't know what the Dragon Ball was, since it was in her hand, that was a different story.
Although Talot was very strong, he couldn't just openly snatch it, right?
She found it first.
"Does this Dragon Ball have any use? To make a big shot like you come looking for it." Android 18 boldly asked.
These words made Android 16 and Android 17's expressions even more serious.
They were afraid that Talot would get angry because Android 18 asked too many questions.
His strength absolutely overwhelmed them.
Talot didn't avoid Android 18's question and simply explained the origin and function of the Dragon Balls.
Collecting seven Dragon Balls could summon Shenron to grant a wish. He was currently searching for the Dragon Balls and testing them. He also mentioned that the former Kami and Piccolo had merged into Piccolo, so the Dragon Balls were revived by the new Kami, Dende.
Mentioning Piccolo, the three quickly recalled what they had experienced before and told him about it.
Talot was surprised that Piccolo had actually looked for them.
That guy actually did such a thing.
Whether that's good or bad is unknown.
"So, after gathering all seven Dragon Balls, you can make a wish? I didn't expect there to be such a magical thing in this world." Android 18 was extremely shocked after learning about the function of the Dragon Balls.
Android 17 felt the same way.
As for Android 16, the information about the Dragon Balls was in his database, so he knew, but before he could say anything, Talot appeared.
"Now, can you give it to me? You can't use this Dragon Ball on its own anyway." Talot said, then suddenly thought of something and added, "After gathering all seven Dragon Balls, Shenron can grant at least one wish. I remember Dr. Gero installed super bombs in your bodies. You can use this wish to have Shenron remove the bombs for you."
As soon as he said this, the three of them were shocked.
They couldn't understand why Talot would give them the opportunity to make a wish.
"Aren't you afraid we'll mess things up?" Android 17 asked.
Talot shook his head slightly, "Even if you mess things up, where can you mess things up to? Times are constantly changing. I can tell you clearly that the big guys right now can't beat you yet, but in a few days, your power will be nothing in their eyes."
Just a mere eight or nine hundred million power level. Even if Android 16's actual power level exceeds one billion, as long as he guides them, all the warriors in this timeline will become stronger.
By then, their power will be insignificant.
"Is it that exaggerated? Although we can't beat you, but..." Android 18 was interrupted by Talot before she could finish speaking.
"Actually, Piccolo already has the strength to beat you and Android 17."
Android 17 and Android 18 were incredulous at Talot's bluntness.
Before they could refute, Android 16 said, "It is indeed as he said. The data I've collected doesn't lie. You can no longer defeat Piccolo after he fused."
Android 17 and Android 18 fell silent.
For a moment, their worldviews seemed to collapse.
If Talot hadn't said so, they would have found it hard to accept.
At the very least, they would have wanted to fight a match before admitting it.
"Here, take the Dragon Ball. But what you said, it shouldn't be a lie, right? Helping us... remove the bombs." Android 18 thought for a moment, then handed the Dragon Ball to Talot, saying.
Talot nodded, "Of course, it's just a small matter, provided you don't cause trouble on Earth in the future... I don't think you'll be like Android 17 and Android 18 from Trunks' future timeline, killing innocent people just to satisfy your own desires."
Hearing Talot mention Trunks' future, Android 17 and Android 18 exchanged glances.
"We don't even know why the future will turn out like that. At least, my brother and I never thought about destroying Earth." Android 18 was a little angry. It was very inexplicable to them.
Although Android 17's expression was cold, he wasn't the kind of person who enjoyed killing.
"I think it's necessary for us to talk to that future Trunks and also understand the future versions of ourselves." Android 17 said.
"Since that's the case, then just come with me. We'll make the wish in a while, and you can also communicate with Trunks. As for Android 16, your goal is Son Goku, right? That kid will be going to Kami's Lookout soon, and then you can end your destiny and start a new life." Talot suggested.
With Talot's words, the three of them looked at each other and made their decisions.
They didn't doubt Talot, because he had enough strength to kill them instantly, and there was no need to play tricks.
After obtaining the consent of the three, Talot used Instant Transmission to find the remaining Dragon Balls.
Because they had new goals, the three Androids no longer felt as lost as before. In short, having something to do gave them motivation.
