The Grand Elder
That green-skinned Namekian warrior is Nail, Namekian responsible for protecting the Grand Elder. His combat power is approximately 33,000, making Warrior-type Namekian on Planet Namek.
"Who are you people, and why are you here?"
Nail saw the two uninvited guests, Roland and Sephiria, he spoke in a lukewarm tone.
Roland knew that Nail disliked being disturbed from the Grand Elder's rest and was usually not very polite to any visitors, especially those of other races. Sephiria was also strong-willed and had a consistently poor attitude towards people, so Roland stepped forward at this moment.
"We are Saiyan from Planet Sadala, and we wish to meet the Grand Elder."
"The Grand Elder needs to rest and will not see you. Go back immediately," Nail said coldly.
Roland frowned slightly. Nail's aloof attitude displeased him, but considering he would need the Grand Elder's help later, he tried to be polite and said again, "Please tell the Grand Elder that we represent the Sephiria Force and hope to have a meeting."
Nail's expression turned cold. He didn't care about the Sephiria Force all. Anyone who disturbed the Grand Elder's rest was not welcome. Just as he was about to expel them again, he heard the Grand Elder's voice.
"Nail, please let the two guests in."
"But Grand Elder, you need to rest." Upon Nail's expression changed.
"It's alright, they've come from afar, don't be impolite."
"Yes, Grand Elder." Nail reluctantly stepped aside to make way. "You may go in. The Grand Elder is advanced in years; please do not disturb him."
Roland glanced at Nail, then went with Sephiria to the Grand Elder on the second floor.
The Grand Elder was now extremely old, his massive body unable to move freely, and he could only lean against his seat. Perhaps because he was not Warrior-type Namekian, the Grand Elder appeared significantly older than Slug and the Earth Kami.
"Hello, leaders of the Sephiria Force. What brings you here?"
The Grand Elder's aged voice rang out; due to his advanced age, his voice was very low.
"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest. We've come here because of the Dragon Ball. One of my clansmen visited Planet Namek before, and thanks to the Grand Elder's help, his wife was able to be resurrected. We've come to Planet Namek this time hoping to borrow the Dragon Ball." Roland said bluntly.
"Oh, so it was that Saiyan from back then. That was 12 years ago..."
The Grand Elder leaned back in his chair, speaking with great difficulty. He then looked at Roland and Sephiria, lingering on them for a moment, his aged eyes gleaming with a profound light.
"I can sense the powerful energy contained within you. Although it is extremely violent, it is not an evil force... Hmm! You actually possess such pure Dragon Clan power. Could you also be Dragon Clan?" The Grand Elder looked at Roland with some surprise.
"No, I am Saiyan. I just happened to obtain a portion of the Dragon God's power."
Roland shook her head and gave a general explanation of the situation.
"I see, what good luck! It seems the Namekian have also received the Dragon God's favor!"
After listening, the Grand Elder's gaze towards Roland became even more benevolent. "In the near future, Planet Namek will face a catastrophe. I have a vague feeling that the hope of saving the Namekian lies with the Saiyan. Therefore, the Dragon Ball can be lent to you. I hope you will use them wisely."
As he spoke, he reached behind the seat and took down a huge One-Star Dragon Ball.
"Take it. Nail will help you collect the other Dragon Ball."
"Grand Elder..." Nail hesitated, wanting to stop him, but the Grand Elder waved his hand.
Thank you.
Roland was stunned for a moment, not expecting to obtain a Dragon Ball so easily. It seemed that the Grand Elder had foreseen this event long ago.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Grand Elder is a rare Wise-type Namekian, and also an excellent Dragon Clan. He could more or less foresee some things that would happen in the future, even if it was just an outline, it was enough to make some preparations in advance. However, there was one thing the Grand Elder did not anticipate, which was that the people who would save the Namekian were indeed Saiyan, but it was not necessarily them.
Of course, Roland had already remembered the favor the Grand Elder had done for him.
He took the Dragon Ball from the Grand Elder and weighed it in his hand. The Planet Namek Dragon Ball was about the size of a soccer ball and had some weight to it.
In front of everyone, he opened his private Hyperdimensional Space, put away the Dragon Ball, and then took out a few Senzu Bean and fruits from the Tree of Might. Since the Grand Elder had given him the Dragon Ball, Roland naturally wouldn't be stingy with his own.
"Grand Elder, these are Senzu Bean and Tree of Might, which can restore physical strength and enhance mental power. Eating them will be very helpful to your body. Actually, I have another request. I heard that you have the special ability to develop human potential, and we hope to enhance our own strength."
"Hehe, there are actually such miraculous things in the world. I've heard about the effects of the Tree of Might; it truly is a rare and divine object."
The Grand Elder ate a Tree of Might, and his listless spirit immediately revived after consuming Tree of Might, and the wrinkles on his head also decreased considerably.
"Grand Elder, you..."
When Nail saw that the Grand Elder had regained his spirits, he exclaimed in surprise, a hint of joy in his eyes.
"No wonder it's a fruit only gods can enjoy, I feel wonderful."
The Grand Elder smiled and beckoned to Roland and the others, "Come on, let me unlock your potential. Your strength is already considerable; I wonder how much more we can develop."
"Thank you for your help Grand Elder."
Roland smiled. The Grand Elder looked noticeably younger after consuming the Tree of Might, and might not even die from exhaustion of lifespan when the Planet Namek storyline begins. Of course, Grand Elder in good mental condition might be even more powerful when developing his potential.
After glancing at Sephiria, he approached the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder was enormous; standing before him, Roland looked like a child, barely reaching his knees.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Placing his hand over Roland's head, the Grand Elder deeply felt the vast and surging power within Roland's body, as well as the incomparably pure Dragon God Power. A look of surprise appeared on his face. "What terrifying power! I've never seen such a profound and primal power before. Let me see just how much power you can draw out!"
After speaking, the Grand Elder closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
As the Grand Elder began to guide his potential, an upward pull surged from the soles of his feet through his body, seemingly about to burst forth.
Roland suddenly felt a surge of heat rising within his body, and an endless aura emerged from nowhere, surrounding his body and emitting a faint red glow.
Whoosh!
The energy accumulated in his body continued to surge forth. With the release of this accumulated energy, Roland's energy level rose higher and higher, and he felt warm all over. The ape transformation power and Dragon God Power in his body became active under the guidance of the Grand Elder's power. With a whooshing sound, a vast aura spread out from every cell and then broke through his body and was released outward.
As a powerful aura burst forth, a strong whirlwind suddenly swept through the residence of the Grand Elder.
The clouds over Planet Namek were shattered by this aura, and the thick clouds spread out instantly. Sephiria and Nail both showed surprise at the terrifying aura emanating from Roland.
