The strength of ordinary Namekians was already beyond expectations. As for the Grand Elder of this era, there was even less need to mention it; he was terrifyingly powerful.
Compared to the Grand Elder five million years later, the difference was enormous. Perhaps it was because this Grand Elder was still very young.
Not only was he tall and robust, but his spirit and vitality were incomparably full. His entire body emitted a domineering aura as if he ruled over the world.
If this aura intensity were converted into power level, it would be at least ten billion.
If he erupted with his full strength, even if he couldn't reach the hundred-billion level, he would at least be a powerhouse in the several-tens-of-billions range.
No wonder the Grand Supreme Kai treated him with such caution.
As for the other elders beside him, each of them was also a top-tier expert. How could they be compared to those elders five million years later, who were not only weak but also frail old men on the verge of death?
These elders were all incomparably strong and imposing, their power levels each exceeding one hundred million.
In the future era, Talot thought there would only be three Super Namekians.
But now, looking at five million years ago, they were practically all Super Namekians.
Conservatively speaking, picking any one of these elders at random would be enough to beat Final Form Cooler and Frieza senseless.
"The Dragon Balls are ready. We can summon Porunga and make a wish now," the Grand Elder said to Talot and the Grand Supreme Kai.
"Mm, thank you for the trouble," Talot expressed his gratitude to the Grand Elder.
"No need for such courtesy. You are a friend of Lord Grand Supreme Kai, and therefore also my friend. Friends helping one another is only natural," the Grand Elder said with a light smile, clearly with an ulterior motive. He wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Talot.
He could sense Talot's extraordinariness. After all, having more friends meant having more paths. Since the Dragon Balls could grant three wishes anyway, letting Talot use one was no issue.
Through the Namekian language, he chanted the summoning incantation. In an instant, the seven enormous Dragon Balls reacted. The orange five-pointed stars within them sparkled brightly and resonated with one another.
'Weng! Weng!'
Accompanied by an invisible expansion of wish-granting power, Namek, which had been in daylight, was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Dense black clouds spread outward from the seven Dragon Balls as the center. In just a few seconds, the entire planet Namek was plunged into darkness.
'Boom~~!!' From the center of the seven Dragon Balls, an incomparably massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky.
Immediately afterward, a ferocious and terrifying green giant beast materialized high in the air.
This Eternal Dragon was Porunga.
However, compared to the Eternal Dragon Porunga five million years later, there seemed to be some differences.
"Whoever has gathered the seven Dragon Balls, speak thy wish. No matter what it is, I can grant three wishes," Porunga declared his classic line the moment he appeared.
"My friend, speak. I can relay your wish to Porunga," the Grand Elder asked Talot.
"My wish is simple. In this timeline, there is a Saiyan from five million years in the future named Bardock. Please teleport him to my side… or if teleportation is not possible, inform me of his exact location," Talot stated his wish straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting such an enormous amount of information.
But he quickly reacted and acted as a translator, conveying Talot's wish to Porunga.
After hearing this, Porunga fell into silence.
The atmosphere also became heavy at that moment.
After a long while, Porunga finally spoke: "Regrettably, your wish has exceeded the limits of my abilities. I cannot grant it."
Porunga's words shocked not only Talot, but even the Grand Elder revealed a look of astonishment. The other Namekians' eyes widened in disbelief.
In this world, there was actually something even Porunga could not accomplish?
That wasn't right! If it was merely teleporting a person over, with Porunga's ability, it should have been an easy task.
Unless… that person was no longer in this world.
But that didn't seem right either. Even if he couldn't be brought over, his location could at least be revealed.
"The Saiyan you speak of, named Bardock, theoretically still exists within this timeline world, yet he is not within this dimension. My abilities are limited and cannot interfere with other dimensions, so please make another wish," Porunga gave a reasonable explanation.
"Still in this world, yet in another dimension… and even you cannot pinpoint his exact location…" Talot frowned, his expression growing increasingly grave.
What was happening in this timeline world was far more complicated than he had imagined. It already involved dimensions.
Combined with what Grand Supreme Kai previously said about Bardock's last outburst occurring three months ago on Planet Fiorna, and now the entire Planet Fiorna has been reduced to fragments, it can be confirmed that this was the result of battle.
Most likely, Bardock had fought some unidentified individuals, and in the end, because the power involved was too great, the dimension was shattered, sending him into a world akin to an alternate dimension.
If that were the case, it would be a relatively reasonable explanation.
But if he had been captured… then that would not be good.
As a transmigrator, he was well aware of Bardock's uniqueness. Especially in the storyline of Dragon Ball Heroes, someone had taken control of him, turning him into a tool who wandered across multiple timelines causing destruction.
The gazes of everyone else fell upon Talot, waiting for him to speak.
After thinking for a while, Talot looked once more at Porunga. "Porunga, you cannot pinpoint his exact location, but can you determine which dimension he is currently in? And can you indicate the direction for me to go?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was startled.
There was no doubt. Talot was now setting his sights on the level of dimensions.
"That is possible. That dimension is called the Demon Realm. However, to give you precise direction will require the consumption of the power of one wish," Porunga replied, confirming that Talot's guess was correct.
At the same time, upon hearing the mention of the dimensional world that he hadn't heard in a long while, the Grand Supreme Kai revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Demon Realm… how could it be that place?"
