Inside Babidi's spaceship.
"Zzz--"
After a slight crackling sound, a completely unfamiliar, processed, synthesized voice clearly rang out in the spaceship.
"Greetings, Venerable Babidi."
Babidi's brow furrowed instantly.
He hates people who are pretentious and mysterious.
"Who are you?"
The mysterious voice remained completely unaffected, continuing its steady flow.
"You don't need to know my identity."
"I'm just someone who wants to discuss a deal with you."
"Trade?"
Upon hearing the word, Babidi reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, letting out a harsh, sneer.
"Heh heh heh... A coward who doesn't even dare to show his face dares to talk to me about a deal?"
He turned to look at Dabura, his mockery growing even more pronounced.
" Dabura, did you hear that? These days, all sorts of trash dare to come knocking on our door."
Dabura bowed slightly, his expression equally full of contempt.
"Yes, Lord Babidi, perhaps it's just a pathetic creature that wants to fawn over you but dares not show its face."
Regardless of their motives, the two men's mockery seemed to have no effect on the mysterious man.
Even if you say so, I will not show up.
"I fear that the moment we meet, I will become your puppet."
"Just to be on the safe side, this is the most effective way for us to communicate."
The smile on Babidi's face gradually faded.
He and Dabura exchanged a glance.
His gaze became slightly more serious.
Babidi's sinister eyes seemed to pierce through the cold metal shell, trying to see the true face of the mysterious man opposite him.
Babidi's voice also became low and hoarse.
"Ha, what a strange fellow."
"I'm starting to wonder, what exactly are you trying to say?"
The mysterious voice seemed completely unsurprised by Babidi's change of attitude.
"I would like to try to help you achieve your goal."
"And Your Excellency..."
The voice on the other end of the communicator deliberately drew out its tone, as if enjoying Babidi's eagerness at that moment.
"Just do me a small favor, that'll be enough..."
Babidi's expression shifted between light and shadow. "My purpose?"
"Tell me then, what is my purpose?"
The voice on the other end of the communicator spoke again, "In ancient times, there was a very terrifying legend of a demon..."
The electronic noise in the communicator completely disappeared.
Babidi stared at the darkened screen on the control panel, and Dabura's voice broke in.
"Lord Babidi, can you trust the words of such a cowardly and timid man?"
Babidi turned around. "I'd like to see what tricks he's up to..."
"We may have missed a lot of information and details about Frieza Force..."
Deep in the universe.
A uniquely shaped planet floats in the air.
The entire surface of the earth has been artificially transformed into an extremely magnificent palace.
It is said that there is a very mysterious adult in the universe.
His name is Zuno.
Legend has it that this Lord Zuno is omniscient and omnipotent.
As long as you offer tributes that suit his taste.
No matter the question, he can give an absolutely accurate answer.
The origin of the universe.
The lost treasure.
The fatal weakness of a certain powerful individual.
Even what your neighbor ate last night.
There's nothing he doesn't know.
This is the residence of Lord Zuno.
Surrounding the palace is a ring of white jade plazas suspended in mid-air.
now.
The square was densely packed with all sorts of bizarre alien life forms.
Winding and meandering.
It stretches as far as the eye can see.
Some people were sleeping on the ground.
Someone set up a makeshift hibernation pod.
The air was filled with a strange mixture of body odor and food smells.
"Could those in front please move forward a bit?"
You stepped on my tail!
An alien with dark green scales shouted angrily.
The fat man in front of him slowly turned his head, his face trembling with fat.
"What are you yelling about?"
"This is Lord Zuno's territory, do you think it's your home?!"
"Go home and sleep if you want to, don't keep everyone up!"
The Scaled Alien gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.
"I've been waiting in line for eight months!"
When will this ever end?!
The fat man chuckled and held up two thick fingers.
"You can't even handle it after only eight months?"
"I've been waiting for two and a half years!"
"If you want to see Lord Zuno, you must be prepared to wait a long time!"
In the place where Lord Zuno resides.
Countless people line up every day.
Solve all sorts of problems.
Today, a pair of special guests arrived here.
This pair of guests seems very similar to the master-servant relationship between Babidi and Dabura.
A short, ugly master.
A tall and imposing servant.
This tall servant was none other Gokua Hera who had miraculously survived from Planet Namek.
Gokua's tall frame was slightly hunched.
They carefully stood protectively beside their short master.
The short, elderly man wore a large hood.
He was leaning on a withered wooden cane.
He was shrouded in shadow.
Under the hood, the short old man paused for a moment.
Looking at the long queue, I felt nothing but disdain.
He whispered something to Gokua was sitting next to him.
Gokua immediately obeyed the order and headed straight for the doorway ahead.
They quickly turned back.
Gokua spoke respectfully to his dwarf master.
"Sir, I've gone to ask."
"The waiting list here is already booked three years in advance..."
The movements beneath the black robe ceased.
The noisy crowd around them continued.
Some people got into a fight over cutting in line, while others were selling overpriced scalped accounts.
Truckloads of gold and rare ores, intended as tribute, were piled up at the edge of the square.
The old man slowly raised his head.
Three years... that's too long...
"I can't wait..."
