Chapter 767: Chapter 767 King Piccolo's Revival
Due to Asahi's intervention, the plot of this world has undergone significant changes. The most crucial change is that Goku is no longer an innocent simpleton. Following the agreement with Asahi, Gine has educated Son Goku very well.
Of course, Gine didn't push Goku to become a scholar, as Saiyans don't see the need for it at all. However, she did ensure that Goku learned some basic knowledge and common sense. Unless necessary, he wouldn't waste time in school.
Dr. Brief had already made arrangements regarding this. As one of the shareholders of Capsule Corporation, no one dared to mess with Goku's family. Besides, they weren't afraid of trouble, as none in their family is weak.
Gine is responsible for instilling good knowledge and values, while Bardock handled combat training. Raditz arrived on Earth in the third year after receiving the message from Bardock. Without the bad influence of Vegeta and with Bardock's strict training and Earth's influence, although Raditz still a little cold, but he's now a kind-hearted person. He's someone who's cold on the outside, but warm on the inside.
If Earth could assimilate even Vegeta, it certainly could do the same with Raditz, who hadn't been corrupted yet. Thus, Raditz was living a very comfortable life on Earth. Bardock, on the other hand, had already become a Super Saiyan and has very high power level, thanks to the gravity chamber.
Otherwise, without this aid, it would have taken Bardock much longer to become a Super Saiyan. Raditz, however, had just reached a battle power of over a million, which still depended on talent.
Goku's talent was exceptional. It is even more terrifying than Bardock's, promising a great future for him. As for Raditz, his limit might be becoming a Super Saiyan, but even that wasn't an easy feat. And at present, Raditz still couldn't achieve it.
Also, due to Asahi's interference, the plot had diverged, and Bulma never set out to find the Dragon Balls. Although Bulma did eventually find the Dragon Balls, she had no specific wishes to make, as Asahi frequently visited Dr. Brief's house over the years.
Gradually, Bulma developed feelings for Asahi. Most importantly, due to Asahi's higher life level, he overshadowed all other men, making them seem insignificant in comparison. Consequently, Bulma's standards for men increased, and in the presence of Asahi, other men couldn't even register.
In this situation, how could Bulma possibly be interested in anyone else? So there was no need to use the Dragon Balls.
Many original plot points no longer existed. With Bardock's guidance, Son Goku's power level was now close to catching up with his brother Raditz, which somewhat embarrassed Raditz. However, since Goku was his younger brother, he couldn't complain much.
At this time, their combined power level was the strongest on Earth, aside from the sealed Majin Buu.
However, some storylines persisted out of inertia. For example, a certain army was wiped out by Raditz while he was traveling because they provoked him. The target of their animosity shifted from Son Goku to Raditz. Also, Master Roshi and Grandpa Gohan no longer interacted with Goku.
This change was inevitable. Still, Son Goku met Chi-Chi in school, and the two hit it off. Gine was thrilled that her son had found a girlfriend so young, especially since Chi-Chi was someone she approved of. In contrast, she was quite displeased with Raditz for not finding a girlfriend yet.
As for why this happens, it is actually very simple. Raditz valued strength above all else. The strongest human on Earth was Master Roshi, who wasn't exactly a matchmaker for powerful women. As a result, while Raditz was friendly towards Earthlings, he wasn't interested in the local girls, much to Gine's frustration, who often scolded him for it.
It can only be said that Raditz just hadn't met his true love yet, otherwise, he wouldn't be acting this way. Despite having great qualities, he showed no interest in any girls, which was quite baffling.
Despite these storyline deviations, some characters still sought the Dragon Balls, like Pilaf and his gang. Knowing they couldn't provoke the powerful Capsule Corporation, Pilaf decided to negotiate a deal. After all, Pilaf's technological capabilities were quite impressive as well.
Bulma no longer needed the Dragon Balls, so she stopped researching them. Eventually, Dr. Brief sold them to Pilaf and his gang. This piqued Asahi's interest since these guys were backed by King Piccolo. And at this point in time, King Piccolo wasn't supposed to have been discovered and released yet, but it turned out he had been.
Of course, Asahi couldn't help but remark on how stupid Kami was for splitting off his evil side. He wondered what the previous generation of Earth's God was thinking.
To be able to come up with such a bad idea, it can also be seen that the previous generation of Earth's God was quite brainless.
And Kami, who is following through with such a plan, was equally idiotic. Everyone has an evil side; even Asahi wouldn't claim to be without one. But he wouldn't ever consider splitting it off.
Without a balance between good and evil, either side could go out of control, showing just how brainless they were.
This King Piccolo would never become good, unless Shenron was used to fix him. Otherwise, he'd always remain evil.
Future Piccolo, however, was born from an egg spat out by the old King Piccolo, meaning he was technically a separate entity. He wasn't a part of the old King Piccolo anymore, which gave him his own sense of morality.
Naturally, this made it easier for future Piccolo to become good. His past evil actions were largely due to old King Piccolo's influence. New Piccolo inherited some memories from the old one, which made him initially evil, but without that, he wouldn't have been evil at all.
By the way, Asahi's current power level had reached 7% of Donghuang Taiyi's power. Initially, he thought he needed 10% to match Zeno, but to his surprise, surpassing 5% already put him at the level of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
At this level, he could completely disregard Zeno. After all, Zeno's power was largely dependent on the world's energy, and outside of this world, his power would significantly weaken.
So, 5% was enough to crush Zeno. With 7% now, Asahi could act without any restraint in this world. After all, even combined, all the beings in this world couldn't withstand even a single hand of his.
