Chapter 873: Three Years Later (First Update)
Chapter 873: Three Years Later (First Update)
Inside the god palace, Jerry, the old god, and little Piccolo were engrossed in watching the crystal ball.
The crystal ball was currently displaying the scene of Goku and his friends trying to snatch the bell from Popo, only to be easily outmatched by him.
Even Goku, the strongest among them, had a battle power of less than 230, which was far from Popo's battle power of over 1,000.
Passing Popo's test was a tradition in the god palace, a tradition that Jerry had naturally kept. Watching from behind the scenes also added a bit of fun.
After several attempts, Goku, Tien Shinhan, Chaozu, Krillin, and Yamcha joined forces but found they couldn't even touch Popo, let alone snatch the bell.
This made them realize that there were many people in the world who were far more powerful than they were, not just Piccolo and Jerry.
Even a mere gardener in the god palace was far beyond their reach.
"It seems none of you have passed my test. You couldn't even touch the bell."
Popo stood in front of Goku and his friends, jingling the bell in his hand.
"It's... impossible to get it!"
Krillin, panting heavily, plopped down on the ground.
The god palace was so high up that moving around here was much more difficult than on the ground.
Yamcha and Chaozu were in the same state, while Goku and Tien Shinhan were slightly better off.
"Mr. Popo, can we train here for a while? I think after some training, we can try the test again."
After catching his breath, Goku asked Popo.
Popo was about to answer when he suddenly seemed to hear something. He then smiled and said:
"No need. The god has decided to meet you."
"What, that's wonderful!"
Hearing that the god would meet them, Krillin and Yamcha also stood up from the ground.
At that moment, clear footsteps could be heard coming from the temple.
"Hey, everyone, good afternoon!"
Jerry, donning a majestic god's robe adorned with the emblem of divinity, slowly emerged at the temple entrance.
"Mr. Jerry!"
"Master!"
Seeing that the person who emerged was Jerry, everyone was so surprised that their jaws dropped to the ground.
Standing beside them, Popo scolded:
"That's impolite. This is the god, you should show more respect."
"God! What's going on here?"
Hearing Popo's words, Goku and his friends were confused. They had visited Jerry in the Western Capital before coming here, so how did Jerry become the god now?
Jerry understood their confusion and explained with a smile:
"The one in the Western Capital is also me, but it's just a clone. As for the god, I've only been the god for a short while.
Let me introduce the former god to you."
With that, he stepped aside, revealing the old god and little Piccolo behind him.
Seeing this, Goku and his friends immediately showed signs of fear, assuming battle stances. Goku, in particular, instinctively charged forward.
"Piccolo, the Great Demon King!!!"
"That's not Piccolo, the Great Demon King. He is the former god."
Jerry flicked his finger, sending Goku flying back. He then briefly recounted the story of the old god and Piccolo, and introduced little Piccolo as well.
However, little Piccolo clearly held Goku and his friends in contempt, snorting coldly and ignoring them.
"Alright, since you're here, follow Mr. Popo and train well. I've set up a gravity array in the god palace, ranging from two times to one hundred times Earth's gravity. Choose the level that suits you best."
Finally, Jerry gave a brief instruction and returned to continue meditating and building his dimensional universe.
Three years passed quickly. Under the occasional guidance of Popo, the old god, and Jerry, everyone's strength had significantly improved.
Little Piccolo grew to the size of a normal adult over the three years. He was proud, stubborn, and very quick to grow in strength.
His favorite person was Popo, and his most instinctively disliked was the old god. The person he feared the most was Jerry, and the one he most wanted to defeat was Goku. His current combat power was 3000.
Goku, who had originally been a small guy, grew to over 1.8 meters tall. Due to the Saiyan's special physiology and rigorous training, his combat power reached 3100.
However, Jerry knew that this guy had already learned the Fist of the Four Deities, which he had taught. He was the only one among the six who had mastered it, but he kept it a secret from everyone.
Tien Shinhan's combat power was 2000, Krillin had only grown a little taller, with a combat power of 1800, Yamcha's combat power was 1400, and Chaozu's combat power was 600.
On May 6, 756 AE, the 23rd Tournament of Power began accepting registrations.
The old god, no longer needing to guard the god palace, led Goku, Piccolo, and the other four to the southern island to participate in the Tournament of Power.
Four days later, only the old god returned to the god palace.
Jerry had anticipated this.
Goku, who had a marriage contract with Chi-Chi, the daughter of the Ox-King, went back to Crane Mountain to get married after the tournament.
Yamcha felt he had reached his limit and could no longer improve his strength. Seeing the explosive power of Piccolo and Goku in the final match, he gave up on the title of the strongest martial artist and returned to West City to live.
Krillin, seeing his best friend Goku get married, decided he wanted to find a girlfriend and no longer wanted to return to the god palace, which had no girls.
Tien Shinhan continued to pursue the peak of martial arts. He had his own plans and wanted to travel the entire Earth to hone his skills. Chaozu didn't care much about martial arts, but he was content to follow Tien Shinhan.
As for Piccolo, the old god reported that the guy said, "Finally, I am free. If you want me to return to the god palace, forget it. When I become stronger than the god, I'll go back and defeat him, then unify the entire world."
However, the old god believed that his talk of unifying the world was just an excuse. He was mainly tired of being cooped up in the god palace and wanted to see the world.
Jerry didn't mind any of this. Without the help of the Panel and the red stars, he had already reached the Supreme Father Level and just needed a bit more time to break through to the Single Universe Level.
Helping Goku and the others train was just something he did on the side. Now that the world was at peace, it was natural for them to want to live their own lives.
However, two days later, Goku returned to the god palace, bringing his fiancée, Chi-Chi.
It turned out that just before their wedding, a strange, unquenchable fire had appeared on Crane Mountain, trapping the Ox-King inside. Goku couldn't enter either, so he came to seek help from his senior, Jerry, hoping he could open a portal to rescue the Ox-King.
Jerry did not refuse. Using the power of the laws, he sealed the hole in the Bagua Furnace from which the flames were emerging. He then used a restoration technique to repair the castle and even attended Goku's wedding.
With the castle repaired, the future little princess, Chi-Chi, wouldn't have to worry about daily household chores anymore.
