Chapter 871: Have a Child, King Piccolo! (1st Update)
Chapter 871: Have a Child, King Piccolo! (1st Update)
"Since you've come this far, let's end it."
Watching King Piccolo fly towards him, Jerry smiled and shook his head. Then, he stood up and slowly released his ki, directing it straight at King Piccolo.
A ki with a power level of ten thousand might not mean much in the future, but in the present, where a power level of two or three hundred was considered the strongest in the world, it was a vast, almost insurmountable difference.
King Piccolo was only halfway through his flight when he sensed Jerry's ki. His entire body stiffened, and he instinctively turned around, fleeing for his life.
"I'm going to die!!!"
This was the only thought in King Piccolo's mind. That overwhelming ki, which filled him with despair, was something he could never resist. Even at the peak of his power three hundred years ago, he would have been powerless against it.
The instinct for survival drove him away from Jerry, and he did not go against that instinct.
"It seems I need to make you feel even more desperate."
Noticing King Piccolo's escape, Jerry did not chase after him, as this was part of his plan.
With a flick of his hand, a ki blast powerful enough to kill King Piccolo shot out from Jerry's palm, chasing after the rapidly fleeing King Piccolo.
The ki blast was much faster than King Piccolo's flight speed, and it quickly caught up to him.
King Piccolo also sensed the impending danger behind him and hurriedly turned to fire a Demon Light Cannon, hoping to detonate the ki blast prematurely.
Unfortunately, the ki blast seemed to have a will of its own. It easily accelerated and dodged the Demon Light Cannon, continuing its pursuit.
"I can't block it, I can't block it at all!"
Feeling the immense energy contained within the approaching ki blast, King Piccolo's body stiffened in the air, his heart filled with despair.
He knew he couldn't evade the ki blast, and if he tried to block it, he would be blown to pieces. He was already on a path to certain death.
"Who would have thought that in these three hundred years, such a powerful human martial artist would appear. I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
"Have a child, King Piccolo."
Jerry controlled the ki blast with his mind, slightly slowing its flight speed.
Killing King Piccolo would be like killing the old deity, which was not his original intention.
However, if King Piccolo were willing to have a child and continue his lineage, then he wouldn't truly be dead, and the old deity wouldn't die either.
King Piccolo was a split-off of the old deity's evil thoughts, belonging to the demon race, purely evil, with no chance of redemption.
But the continuation of his life through Piccolo Jr. was different.
Piccolo Jr. was a newly born life, inheriting all of King Piccolo's memories but still a new existence with his own personality.
So, if he were educated well, he wouldn't be as evil.
In terms of personality, King Piccolo and Piccolo Jr. were no longer the same person. Piccolo Jr. was born a child and would envy others who had children and parents, something he lacked.
He would also feel fear and helplessness.
It was only because of King Piccolo's memories and the inherent differences between Namekians and humans that he matured so quickly, being able to match the eighteen-year-old Goku at three and training the four-year-old Gohan at eight.
Jerry's manipulation of the ki blast to scare King Piccolo was to make him feel utterly desperate, certain of his impending death, so that he would leave behind an heir to seek revenge.
"Don't think that by killing me, the Demon Clan will disappear. The Demon Clan will never vanish!"
Seeing the Ki Blast just half a meter away, Piccolo finally made up his mind. With a loud laugh, he opened his mouth wide, and an egg emerged, which he forcefully spat out.
Unlike the Demon Clan warriors he had created before, which were formed using only a small portion of his life essence and evil energy, this time he poured all of his life essence, spirit, and energy into this egg.
It was truly the birth of a new Piccolo Jr.
"My child, one day you must avenge your father!"
Piccolo watched the egg fly away, preparing to meet his death.
However, just as the Ki Blast was about to touch Piccolo, it dissipated into thin air.
The egg, which had flown far away, was intercepted by a hand.
"No littering from heights, please!"
Jerry teleported in front of the flying egg, cleaned the mucus off it, and then held it in his hand, smiling at the stunned Piccolo.
"I was just joking, you took it too seriously."
"Y-Y-You."
Piccolo pointed at Jerry, but before he could finish his sentence, he exploded and dissipated into the air over the sea.
After giving birth to Piccolo Jr., he was just an empty shell and wouldn't have lived for more than a few seconds even without the attack.
"Did you see that? I didn't kill him; he self-destructed. That Ki Blast was just a joke. I never like to take lives."
Seeing Piccolo explode, Jerry held the egg and turned to the Pilaf Group floating in the air.
The three members of the Pilaf Group dared not argue. Even someone as terrifying as Piccolo had fled in fear; they certainly couldn't say no. They immediately nodded.
Meanwhile, Bulma and the others at Kame House were speechless.
"You heard that, your father wasn't killed by me. He chose to self-destruct to ensure your survival."
Jerry smiled at the egg in his hand.
"What is that?"
After Piccolo's self-destruction, the Pilaf Group, terrified, quickly fled in their airship. With the crisis resolved, everyone gathered around to curiously look at the egg Jerry had teleported back with.
"This is, well, let's say it's Piccolo's child. He left this behind to seek revenge after knowing he was going to die."
"Hey!!"
When they heard that the egg in Jerry's hand was the future Piccolo, everyone was shocked.
Bulma, in particular, snatched the machine gun from Lunch and was about to blast the egg right there.
To be honest, although the situation had been tense but ultimately safe, she had been scared out of her wits. After all, even the powerful Goku and Tien, along with the equally strong Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha, had been nearly killed several times by Piccolo. If not for Jerry, they and the entire world would have been destroyed by Piccolo.
Such a threat had to be eliminated early.
But before she could fire, Goku stepped in to block her.
"Although it might seem selfish, I hope you won't kill him. I want to fight him again!"
In the end, when Piccolo was about to attack Jerry, Goku still wasn't a match for Piccolo. He didn't want his opponent to be killed like this. He wanted to train and become stronger, then fight again.
