Seeing Chilled on the screen utter his final words before breathing his last, even Goku, who should now be the second strongest in the universe and was used to grand scenes, pinched his chin with an expression of disbelief.
To be honest, he could accept Lott being strong. That gave him motivation to keep training and challenge him.
But the content playing in the video now genuinely shocked Goku.
If he wasn't mistaken, the root of the legend that Frieza couldn't forget, and even destroyed Planet Vegeta for, was Lott himself!?
In the footage, the young Lott descended from the sky to the ground.
Berry and the other Plantians stared generation after generation at the boy who had descended like a god.
After a few seconds, Berry was the first to react. Sobbing uncontrollably, he cried out with a mix of joy and tears, "Thank you, thank you..."
The timid but kind-hearted Plantians cheered and shouted exuberantly, chanting the title of savior they had decided upon, even though Lott hadn't proclaimed it himself:
"Super Saiyan! Super Saiyan! Super Saiyan! Super Saiyan! Super Saiyan!"
…
Chilled's death shocked the entire universe.
The title of 'Super Saiyan' gradually spread throughout the cosmos.
With the young Lott's protection, peace finally descended upon Planet Plant.
Not long after, the young Lott discovered a spaceship not far from the village.
Clearly, it was the spaceship used by Chilled's army to arrive here.
"Are you leaving?" The Plantian boy standing behind the young Lott asked reluctantly.
"I don't belong here," the young boy said, half-turning his head.
"I know. You should have a broader future," Berry said tearfully, showing understanding.
But he misunderstood.
He thought Lott meant that Planet Plant was too peaceful and quiet, unsuitable for a powerful warrior.
What the young Lott meant was that he didn't belong in this time period.
Of course, the overly peaceful atmosphere of Planet Plant also didn't suit Lott's troublemaker personality.
On the day of departure, Berry led the entire tribe to see Lott off.
Berry, now wearing the same style of tribal chief robe as his father, handed a set of combat armor to the young Lott, tears in his eyes:
"This is modeled after the combat armor of Chilled's army. Please accept it."
Chika, watching from the screen, had a flash of recognition, 'Wasn't that the outfit Lott used to wear...?'
Nino also had her eyes light up.
She suddenly felt that not only the blonde hair, but this outfit also fit her preferences perfectly.
When Lott returned, she thought she could pull Miku along and persuade Lott to wear this kind of outfit, then transform into his Super Saiyan form and...
The young Lott accepted the clothes and boarded the spaceship.
He departed under the tearful gazes of the Plantians.
Afterward, the camera didn't follow the departing young Lott.
Instead, it temporarily focused on the peacefully restored Plantians.
The scene shifted abruptly.
The once harmonious village was instantly transformed into a warzone.
Countless aliens wearing high-tech combat armor and holding laser guns, whose facial features closely resembled Terrans or Earthlings but wore silver-colored clothing, launched a frenzied massacre against the Plantians.
The sudden drastic change in tone startled the entire group of viewers who had just been immersed in the sadness of parting.
"Wh-what happened!? That changed way too fast?!" Natsu on the Planet Magic was shocked.
Lott, now full from his meal, also put down his bowl and chopsticks, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looked at the screen.
A line of text appeared below the frame: One Hundred Years Later.
Immediately after, the scene focused on a mansion in the very center of the village.
A Plantian child whose appearance was strikingly similar to the young Berry had a streak of blood on his cheek.
His terrified expression was very much like Berry's when he heard the name of Chilled's army.
The boy, his face full of panic, rushed into the main hall of the compound, shouting in a voice cracking with fear:
"Grandpa Berry! The Tuffles are breaking in! Let's run!"
Hearing the boy's shout, the viewers' hearts skipped a beat.
Their gaze followed the camera shift, settling on an elderly Plantian man inside the house, leaning on a cane, his face full of wrinkles.
His identity was already known to everyone from the young Plantian's cry.
The hundred-year-old Berry, upon hearing his grandson's words, remained standing motionless, showing no intention of fleeing.
He slowly raised his head to look at the wall.
Framed and hanging there was a picture of a Plantian boy handing a set of combat armor to a boy with a tail.
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes again. His face held no fear or despair, only endless reminiscence and reluctance. His aged voice was extremely hoarse as he barely managed to utter a few words:
"If only you were still here..."
Boom-
As soon as the words left his mouth, a violent explosion erupted in the courtyard behind the old man.
The enemy had broken in!
The frame froze on this scene.
For a moment, the entire universe fell silent.
[Tifa: To think this happened after Lott left... It's too terrible. That child was probably also...]
[Krillin: There's no such thing as peaceful times, it's just that someone is silently carrying the weight for us. For Earth, that person is Goku. For Planet Terra, it's Lott.]
[Nino: See that? This is my man! He's the only one who can protect everyone at critical moments! So cool!]
[Ishigami Yu: Haters, speak up! You've always feared Lott-san, unaware that countless people across the universe wish their planet had a Lott-san!]
[Genos: Sensei is perfect! If one must find a flaw in Sensei, it's that he isn't from your planet!]
[Charles Goodshow: Well said! Lott-san, would you be interested in settling on our Planet Pokémon? How about living in Celestic Town in the Sinnoh region?]
[Cynthia: Huh?]
[Prime Minister Fujiwara: @Charles Goodshow, Piss off!]
…
On Planet Terra.
Genos felt it was a pity that Berry died like that.
Otherwise, he could have invited him to join the glorious Sacred Lott-sensei Fan Club.
'By the way, what were those invaders called?'
'Do they still exist?'
'If they do, I must immediately gather forces, board a spaceship, and eliminate them!'
'Daring to lay hands on a place under Sensei's protection? That's blasphemy! Blasphemy!'
Genos scrolled the video back to check, then was stunned.
'T-Tuffles?'
He felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before.
Chika reacted then, saying to the women around her, "That... wasn't the race massacred by the Saiyans called by that name?"
With Chika's reminder, everyone else remembered.
That's right! When the Saiyans' identity was exposed before, this race had appeared!
[Gintoki: Wow, so it all connects now!]
[Cynthia: Lott-san protected Planet Plant from Frieza's ancestor. After he left, the Tuffles invaded, occupied it, renamed the planet Planet Tuffle, then the Tuffles were massacred by the Saiyans, and finally the planet became Planet Vegeta. That should be the sequence, right?]
Cynthia, true to her status as a Champion and historian, quickly pieced together the timeline.
[Bai Yuekui: And then the regret Chilled left behind caused the Frost Demon Race to fear the legendary Super Saiyan intensely. Frieza later destroyed Planet Vegeta... It all connects.]
Everyone in the group was dumbfounded.
On the Planet Magic, the Fairy Tail Guild's members looked at Lott with increasingly incredulous expressions.
'Wow, so you're the origin of everything!'
