Chapter 137: A Different Planet Namek
Universe 6, Planet Namek.
Swish!
A slight sound rang out. The three figures of Turles, Champa, and Vados appeared on Planet Namek.
"This is Planet Namek? Doesn't look like much!"
Just appearing, Champa stepped out from behind Turles. After scanning the surrounding environment, he somewhat disdainfully curled his lips.
Indeed, looking only at the environment, Planet Namek truly wasn't much. Looking around, all were monotonous green plants—appearing somewhat primitive.
However, Turles felt quite favorable toward such an environment.
Green—no matter when—always gave people a sense of vigorous life. Moreover, upon arriving on Planet Namek, through his apprentice Supreme Kai divine position, he immediately felt the entire planet's intense natural vitality.
Seems Universe 6's Namekians—like Planet Sadala Saiyans—had embarked on a different development path from Universe 7.
Perhaps this precisely explained why the twelve universes were always paired symmetrically. Like Universe 6 and Universe 7, Universe 1 and Universe 12, etc.—all twin universes.
However, what was the purpose of this? Could it merely be for comparative reference?
Turles felt it wasn't that simple.
However, his current strength was insufficient to explore such mysteries. Wanting to understand secrets involving the entire Zeno universe—at minimum, only after truly breaking through to god's realm would he have such qualification.
Champa and Vados didn't know Turles—merely due to two universes' differences—would contemplate such deep levels.
Because currently Champa was looking down at a little one below. That cold gaze and majestic aura had nearly frightened the little one to tears.
"Who exactly are these people?!"
Bari looked at the three in midair, especially that strange purple fatty-cat-like creature in the center. His heart felt extremely fearful.
Though unable to sense these three's auras, those indifferent gazes and inexplicable presence made Bari understand—these three weren't simple.
Currently, Bari truly regretted somewhat. He discovered what Brother Carret said was correct. Outside the tribe was indeed very dangerous. Look—he'd barely sneaked out before encountering such terrifying existences.
"You... you're... what people?"
Seeing the three hadn't spoken for ages, Bari forcibly suppressed his heart's fear, trying to maintain composure as much as possible. But his stuttering words still completely revealed his emotions.
Bari's words pulled Turles back from contemplation.
Watching Bari's forced composure, somehow Turles suddenly recalled those two little ones still planting trees on Red Stone Planet. His heart felt a trace of affection.
Thud!
Turles descended from the air, slowly walking before this little one. Watching his frightened trembling appearance, his mouth corners hooked upward. Feigning fierceness: "Haven't seen such a small one in ages. Wonder what he tastes like?"
After speaking, he deliberately licked his lips, seemingly reminiscing about something.
"Ahh!"
Hearing Turles's words, Bari was directly frightened into releasing a scream. Then his eyes rolled back white as he directly fainted.
"Hahaha!"
"Turles, this little one is truly interesting, hm?"
Champa just descended. Seeing this scene, he was directly amused into laughter.
Turles also hadn't expected this little one would be so easily frightened. Watching the already-fallen little one, then hearing Champa's teasing, his mouth corners twitched once—directly rendered speechless.
"Didn't expect Turles-san would even joke. Truly..." At this moment, Vados also walked over. Her mouth corners slightly rose—clearly also amused by Turles's performance.
Regarding this, what could Turles say? Could only helplessly shake his head, then crouch down. Extending his hand to lightly pat the little one's face: "Little one, wake up!"
"Who are you? What did you do to Bari?!"
But before Turles could awaken the little one, an angry voice sounded behind him. Then a light beam rushed toward the three.
Smack!
Before the beam could approach, Turles casually swatted it away. He didn't feel surprised. Just slowly stood up, turning toward the newcomer.
Unsurprisingly, the newcomer was also a Namekian. However, compared to the little one, this time's appearance was an adult Namekian.
However, this Namekian's expression wasn't good—staring angrily at the three. No—more accurately, staring at Turles.
How could Turles not know this Namekian had misunderstood him? Glancing at the two beside him, seeing neither intended speaking—instead showing spectator expressions—his eye corners couldn't help twitching.
However, since he'd caused this matter, taking a deep breath, Turles retreated one step, revealing this little one named Bari. Simultaneously waving his hands while speaking: "Don't misunderstand. This little one is fine. I just made a joke. He fainted."
After speaking, Turles had already retreated before Champa, then secretly gave this spectator an eye roll.
Champa didn't mind Turles's eye roll. Just raised his eyebrows, returning him a punch-worthy smile.
The other side's Namekian—seeing Turles retreat—hesitated briefly. Still walked before the little one, crouching down to begin examining.
After checking, the Namekian discovered Bari had indeed only fainted. Only then did he release a breath.
"Bari, Bari, wake up!"
Shaking Bari's shoulders, the Namekian softly called Bari's name.
"Mm, what happened to me? Brother Carret?"
Awakening from unconsciousness, Bari's mind was somewhat confused. He looked puzzledly at the Namekian before him.
But after seeing Turles nearby, he immediately remembered. After shouting loudly once, he directly bounced up from the ground, hiding behind Carret. His finger pointed at Turles with a terrified expression:
"Brother Carret, this guy wanted to eat me!"
"Hahaha!"
---
"So you're looking for the elder?"
After Turles's explanation, finally clearing up the misunderstanding, looking at the three, Carret confirmed again.
"Mm, Planet Sadala was destroyed due to some accident. I came wanting to borrow the Dragon Balls. Carrit-san said he knows your elder."
"We've heard of Lord Carrit. However... forget it, you should still follow me."
Hearing Turles came seeking Dragon Balls, Carret felt somewhat troubled. After hesitating, he still agreed to bring Turles to meet the elder.
Watching Carret's departing back, Turles couldn't help frowning.
Instinct told him—the upcoming matters might not proceed smoothly.
However, after glancing at Champa and Vados beside him, Turles put his heart at ease.
Right—with these two great deities present, even if something happened, nothing could trouble these two.
"What's wrong, Turles? Feeling guilty about bullying the child?"
Seeing Turles frown, Champa laughingly moved before him, winking at Turles.
"One delicacy!"
Regarding Champa's unreliability, Turles also felt somewhat helpless. Could only "spend money to avoid disaster."
"Two portions—no, five portions!"
Seemingly just waiting for Turles's words, Champa immediately stated his conditions.
"Only one portion!"
After speaking, without giving Champa chance to retort, Turles directly ascended, pursuing Carret's departure direction.
"Five portions won't work? Four portions is acceptable too. If not, three portions works!"
Seeing Turles leave, Champa hurriedly followed. Still constantly bargaining beside Turles.
Seeing both bickering, Vados—who hadn't spoken throughout—couldn't help shaking her head, then also followed.
Soon, the three followed Carret to their elder's residence.
Arriving here, Turles also saw those fighters within his aura sensing.
Must say, Universe 6's ranking exceeding Universe 7 was very reasonable. Whether Saiyans or Namekians—these two races nearly extinct in Universe 7—in Universe 6 developed extremely prosperously.
Though both races' numbers couldn't compare to Earth humans, high-level combat power wasn't lacking. Just what Turles sensed—many here possessed battle power exceeding ten million. Adding those hiding auras, who knew what other fighters existed?
The three's arrival drew all present Namekians' vigilance.
Though unable to sense the three's auras, Champa's divine majesty unique to Gods of Destruction reminded everyone present:
Never underestimate this purple fatty-cat!
So everyone's attention focused on Champa. As for Turles and Vados, they were ignored.
Turles because his aura was well-hidden. Moreover, lacking divine pressure, he didn't attract these Namekians' attention.
As for Vados—even less worth mentioning. Even with her divine aura, as an Angel possessing divine techniques like Ultra Instinct, if she didn't want being noticed, even standing before you, she had methods making people ignore her. Of course, provided concealing her beautiful face.
However, Namekians belonged to asexual reproduction. In their eyes, Vados was perhaps just an "ordinary" female cosmic being.
However, Champa was very satisfied with such focus. He slightly raised his chin, accepting complacently.
"How about it? See Lord Champa's prestige!"
Seeing Champa's smug gaze, Turles guessed his meaning. Could only give him a thumbs-up. This made Champa even more pleased.
Soon, the three came before the elder. Seeing this elder, Turles also felt somewhat surprised.
Because this Namekian elder was truly too young—appearing barely adult. Moreover, this elder seemed more warrior than elder—at minimum not the elder image in Turles's impression.
While Turles examined this elder, this elder was actually also secretly observing the three.
Unlike other clansmen, the elder's attention immediately focused on Turles—more accurately, Turles's attire. His facial expression was somewhat complex.
Seemingly puzzled. Seemingly enlightened. Seemingly excited.
Before Turles could speak, this elder spoke first: "May I ask if you are Lord Supreme Kai?"
"???"
Turles's just-advancing step paused. He looked somewhat puzzledly at this elder.
"You know me?"
After silently pausing, then thinking of Namekians' miraculous abilities—like how Grand Elder possessed prophecy ability—Turles directly asked.
"Lord misunderstood. I don't know you, Lord. However, the clothes on your body match the records..."
"Most critically, the auras on you three also differ from ordinary people!"
Hearing Turles's response, the elder appeared very excited. Immediately respectfully bowing to him before explaining. However, he only said the latter half inwardly, not voicing it.
"Clothes?"
Hearing this, Turles lowered his head looking at his clothes. Only then discovering he currently wore Supreme Kai-style clothing. Immediately understanding.
This wasn't because Turles liked wearing Supreme Kai clothes. Honestly, Supreme Kai clothing didn't match Turles's aesthetics. If possible, he still preferred wearing Saiyans' unique combat uniforms—high appearance plus practical, especially after Bulma's improvements.
However, this visit to Universe 6—to prevent any eventuality—Turles had changed into this Supreme Kai outfit.
After all, his purpose coming to Universe 6 wasn't pure. If discovered by Champa or Vados, having this outfit could avoid some trouble.
Unexpectedly, this Namekian elder recognized it. Seems this elder had seen Supreme Kais.
However, before Champa and Vados, Turles couldn't acknowledge this. After all, he was merely a small apprentice Supreme Kai—moreover from another universe.
"Elder, you misunderstood. I'm just an apprentice Supreme Kai. Just call me Turles. These two are truly divine lords—this is God of Destruction Lord Champa and Angel Lady Vados!"
Turles humbly corrected the elder's address while simply introducing Champa and Vados.
"God of Destruction? Angel?"
Hearing Turles's introduction, the elder felt somewhat puzzled. Because in their Namekians' records, seemingly no introductions of these two existed.
However, since they could accompany Lord Supreme Kai, and Lord Supreme Kai addressed them so solemnly, they must also be great deities. Moreover, these two's auras also differed from mortals—unfathomably deep.
As for Turles saying apprentice Supreme Kai, he didn't mind. After all, apprentice Supreme Kai was still Supreme Kai!
"Greetings, Lord Champa. Greetings, Lady Vados!"
So after briefly hesitating, the elder immediately bowed toward Champa and Vados.
Regarding the elder's respect, Champa didn't pay much attention. Just slightly nodded, continuing maintaining his presence.
As for Vados, she was very amiable. Humbly stating: "Elder is too polite!"
Since this elder knew Supreme Kais, presumably borrowing Dragon Balls shouldn't be problematic. So Turles immediately proposed his request to the elder.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Turles's request, the elder became troubled. Stammering for ages without speaking.
"What's wrong, elder? Unwilling?"
Seeing the elder thus, Turles felt somewhat dissatisfied inwardly.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Turles's tone, the elder was startled. Hurriedly waving his hands. After hesitating, only then explaining:
"Actually, our Dragon Balls are broken!"
