In the battle with Vegeta in Universe Seven, Piccolo died, and the Dragon Balls could not be used.
After Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma arrived on Namek, the Dragon Ball radar didn't react at all, which made them greatly puzzled.
Gohan soon sensed a powerful aura.
"Someone is flying over to us, and their ki is very strong."
Krillin also realized this and looked at the rapidly approaching person; a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The person who flew over was a Namekian, tall and burly, more than two meters tall, a giant compared to Krillin and the others.
The newcomer was the Super Namekian Gast. Seeing Krillin and the others' spaceship was actually of the Namekian style, he asked, "This spaceship, where did you get it from?"
Krillin explained, "A Namekian gave it to us."
Gohan then added, "For other reasons, we didn't get his consent."
Just then another shooting star streaked across the sky.
Krillin glanced over and immediately recognized it.
"That's the Saiyan Vegeta's spaceship."
Thinking of Vegeta, Krillin couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Krillin's words made Gast even more convinced that the three of them were enemies.
"So you're in league with him?"
Gohan quickly explained, "No, we're not. He's also our enemy."
Krillin nodded. "He killed our companions. We also had a Namekian among our friends, or rather, two. Now we're here to find the Dragon Balls and revive them."
Krillin and Gohan couldn't sense Gast's true strength, but he seemed very powerful, and they needed his help.
Gast said, "I don't believe you. I'll use mind reading to sense your intentions and then decide."
Gast placed his hands on Krillin and Gohan's heads. After understanding everything that had happened on Earth, Gast said, "You two are very outstanding."
But then Gast said, "There are indeed Dragon Balls here; at least there were a few days ago when I wasn't the only Namekian on this planet."
Krillin asked, "What about the other Namekians?"
Gast sighed and explained what had happened a few days ago.
Learning of the existence of the Namekian Dragon Balls, Frieza led his subordinates to Planet Namek, arriving a few days earlier than in the original timeline.
The Grand Elder, who could sense Frieza's terror, made a decision and called Nail.
"This enemy is not someone we can defeat, and we'll all die soon. You must not go and fight alone. Nail, accept my power."
Nail immediately refused.
The Grand Elder lay on his chair and extended his right hand.
"My lifespan is about to end, but I should still be of some use."
The Grand Elder transmitted a last message. His body then gradually disappeared, and an endless stream of power surged within Nail's body.
With the Grand Elder gone, the Namekian Dragon Balls also lost their power and became ordinary stones.
This made Zarbon look at the stones in confusion.
To make a wish, Frieza grabbed a Namekian, who said, "The Grand Elder is dead. The Dragon Balls are inert."
Frieza was enraged and ordered.
"Find the Namekians and ask for the way to restore the Dragon Balls. If they refuse to answer, kill them."
As Frieza's subordinates went on a rampage, Nail, who possessed the Grand Elder's abilities, sensed their deaths.
Enraged, he immediately flew to the battlefield and killed Dodoria.
Zarbon immediately informed Frieza.
Frieza said, "Not bad. How about you become one of my elite warriors?"
Nail's current strength was not far from his first form, and there weren't any other fighters like that in the galaxy.
If he could be recruited for his use, his trip to Namek wouldn't have been for nothing.
Nail instead jumped up and kicked Frieza, sending him flying.
Being slapped in the face in front of his subordinates, Frieza gave up the idea of recruiting him and immediately transformed into his second form.
Nail, who had only merged with the Grand Elder, was far less powerful than Frieza's second form. He was soon defeated, and then Frieza blasted him away with a Ki blast.
Thinking that Nail, who was already severely injured, would surely die after being hit by such an attack, he didn't bother to search for his body and simply ordered his subordinates to continue their job.
Nail, who had been blasted away, crashed into a mountain.
He then miraculously stood up in less than a minute, looking at his body that had recovered so quickly.
As a combat-type Namekian, Nail's regeneration ability was not bad, but it was not this outrageous.
His lower body, which had been shattered, had been restored in such a short time.
A Namekian elder found Nail and brought him to the cave where he and the Namekiana were hiding.
Neil said, "I'm sorry, my children. I originally thought that if I merged with Nail, I could resist the invading enemy and protect you, but the opponent's strength exceeded my expectations."
The elder looked at the Namekian children and other adults in the cave and said, "You have merged with Nail. We are willing to give all our power to you and merge into one to defeat this demon."
One after another, white lights lit up in the cave. The same happened in other areas.
The Frieza Force was shocked to discover that the Namekians had all disappeared without a trace.
"Lord Frieza, the Namekians that were detected earlier have all disappeared. We have searched the surrounding areas, but we can't find any of them."
Frieza became furious, feeling that he had been tricked. He raised his hand to shoot an energy blast and destroy the planet before hearing a voice.
"You only know how to destroy. But even if you destroy Namek, as long as there are Namekians alive, we will not be truly defeated. On the contrary, this planet will be your final grave."
Frieza looked around, searching for the source of the voice.
On top of a high mountain, he saw a Namekian, who was over two meters in height, watching him and his subordinates.
