Over the past year.
His previous changes had completely disappeared.
He had reverted to the Saiyan Nappa he once was.
"King Vegeta, in three days, we will reach Namek. This time, King Vegeta, leave it to me." Nappa spoke excitedly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Do as you wish! But don't destroy the planet's energy too severely; otherwise, it won't fetch a good price." Vegeta replied coldly.
He then closed his eyes again.
What mattered more to him was his power increase.
More than a year had passed, and it felt as if his strength had stagnated.
Currently, his battle power still hadn't broken through the twenty-thousand mark.
Yet in his mind, he constantly recalled that scene on Planet Neelma.
As a Saiyan and the prince of Saiyans, he had felt utterly helpless.
If it weren't for that Saiyan's appearance, he might have already perished.
This outcome was something he could hardly accept.
During this time, he had fought fiercely, continuously conquering other planets, all in hopes of further enhancing his strength.
However, the results were still not ideal.
"Damn it!"
"I am the prince of the Saiyans!"
Vegeta couldn't help but snort, his eyes snapping open, his expression particularly grim.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In space, the two small spaceships cut through the starry sky, rapidly heading towards Namek.
Namek.
Years had passed.
There hadn't been much change; the Namekians continued to enjoy a peaceful and stable life.
They were gradually restoring the entire ecology of Namek with their own hands, unaware that a massive crisis was about to engulf the entire planet.
At the center.
In a grand building.
The Great Elder, who had originally kept his eyes closed, opened them.
"Great Elder!"
As soon as his eyes opened, a relatively young Namekian entered, speaking respectfully.
"Nail! Training isn't something that can be done blindly; it requires a gradual approach." The Great Elder spoke gently, his gaze turning towards the small Namekian.
This was a Namekian born last year when he sensed a great crisis approaching. Although still young, he already possessed immense strength, with a battle power nearing the current strongest Namekian, Zuno.
He was even close to becoming a new Super Namekian.
"I understand, Great Elder!" Nail responded respectfully.
"Nail, go bring Zuno here!" Upon hearing Nail's words, the Great Elder nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something and spoke to Nail.
"Yes!" Nail replied respectfully and then exited the room.
…
After a moment.
Under Nail's guidance, Zuno arrived at the Great Elder's location.
"Great Elder! You called for me?" Zuno spoke respectfully, with a hint of inquiry.
After several years, Zuno's changes were not significant, but compared to before, his strength had greatly improved.
Now, his battle power had surpassed thirty thousand, reaching thirty-two thousand.
He had also become the strongest warrior on Namek.
"Zuno, Namek is about to face a crisis, and I want you to take some Namekians and leave temporarily..." The Great Elder spoke, his gaze fixed on Zuno.
"Great Elder!" Zuno's expression changed, and he instinctively wanted to speak.
"Zuno, I have seen the destruction of Namek in this crisis; we must preserve the seed of Namek." The Great Elder's voice was calm, but there was a hint of sadness in his expression.
"I understand! Great Elder! However, Great Elder, let Nail take the clan members away; I want to stay and protect you." Zuno nodded slightly, then spoke with a serious expression.
"Zuno, you!" Hearing Zuno's firm words, the Great Elder sighed deeply, his aged face showing a hint of resignation.
He then said nothing more.
"Great Elder, I won't leave; I want to protect Namek!"
The Great Elder remained silent, but Nail's clear voice rang out again.
"Nail!" Zuno called out.
But before he could continue, he seemed to sense something and instantly looked towards the distant sky.
"This aura?" Zuno frowned, his expression becoming serious.
He felt an evil aura descending from space towards Namek.
"Zuno, that comes from Planet Vegeta's Saiyans. They have just taken a wrong path; if possible, do not harm them, just drive them away. The crisis of Namek does not come from them." The Great Elder's aged voice echoed.
"Saiyans?"
"Yes, Great Elder!"
Zuno was momentarily stunned, involuntarily recalling Raditz and Jiang Chen from before, but it was just a fleeting thought. Soon, Zuno recovered from his dazed state and respectfully responded.
In the next moment, his figure walked directly out of the Great Elder's room.
"Brother Zuno, I'm going with you!" As soon as Zuno stepped out, Nail followed closely behind.
Zuno hesitated slightly but still nodded.
Then the two figures soared into the air, quickly heading towards the location where the two evil auras were descending.
On the west side of Namek.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
A huge roar erupted, and the next moment, two round spaceships crashed into the surface, creating an enormous crater.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Then the hatches flew open.
From within the crater, two figures slowly floated out.
"Let me see what the highest battle power on this planet is."
Nappa spoke with a cold smile, quickly activating his scouter.
"Beep beep beep!"
The scouter rapidly flashed.
"One hundred!"
"Five hundred!"
"Three hundred!"
"Hey, there's one with a battle power of one thousand here."
"And over here, there's one with a battle power of three thousand."
"Not bad, not bad!"
Nappa spoke excitedly.
But at that moment.
The scouter began to flash rapidly.
"One thousand, five thousand, ten thousand."
"Twenty thousand!"
"Bang!"
The scouter shattered.
"Vegeta, there's a presence with a battle power of twenty thousand coming towards us." Nappa's expression changed, and he couldn't help but speak, looking at Vegeta.
"Twenty thousand battle power!" Vegeta frowned.
And at that moment.
"Boom!"
Two auras broke through the air, and the next moment, a large and a small figure quickly appeared in their line of sight.
It was Zuno and Nail.
In just a few minutes of full-speed flight, they reached the location of Vegeta and Nappa.
"Beep beep!"
Vegeta activated his scouter, and the values rapidly flashed.
This time, it did not explode immediately.
"Eighteen thousand?"
"Twelve thousand?"
Vegeta frowned, his expression somewhat puzzled as he glanced at the shattered pieces of the scouter that had fallen.
"Saiyans, this is not a place for you; leave immediately. We Namekians do not welcome your presence." Nail spoke with a clear voice, looking at the two.
"Haha, what did I just hear? This Namek brat actually said that Namek does not welcome me."
"Come, let me teach you how to welcome me."
Upon hearing Nail's words, Nappa was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
A sphere of energy appeared in his right hand.
"Nappa, these two Namekians seem a bit off. Be careful." Vegeta frowned and spoke.
But before he finished speaking, Nappa had already ignored him.
He tossed the energy sphere directly into the sky.
"Roar!"
Nappa's eyes focused, and the next moment, a loud roar erupted from his mouth. His pupils gradually dilated, and his body began to rapidly swell.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a massive Great Ape.
With the completion of the Great Ape transformation, Nappa's aura instantly surged.
Although he lacked intelligence, Nappa was very clear that with his three thousand battle power, he could not possibly be a match for the two before him.
So he chose to transform into a Great Ape.
After transforming, his battle power exceeded thirty thousand.
Even though he had transformed into a Great Ape, he could still maintain a bit of rationality.
