Chapter 348 - 348 Porunga Powerless, Universe Weakens
Soon, a spatial wormhole appeared on Namek.
Several Namekians saw the black hole in space and were curious.
"What is that thing?"
"I don't know!"
"Could it be a spatial wormhole? Something terrible might come out!"
"What!!"
"Oh gods, please protect our Namek!"
"Please don't let anything terrible appear!"
A group of Namekians watched the black hole, trembling with fear.
Suddenly, Bulma and Towa emerged from the wormhole.
"Ah, it's appeared! A monster!"
"So scary! Run away..."
The Namekians fled one after another.
Bulma and Towa looked confused.
Bulma shouted angrily: "Damn it, calling me a monster! All of you, come back!"
Towa covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Maybe only a monster could be as beautiful as you!"
"Well, that statement isn't wrong. I am the most beautiful girl in the universe. Hahaha..."
Towa's face was full of black lines.
The Namekians, hiding in their houses, heard a familiar voice.
"That voice... I've heard it somewhere before."
"The one with blue hair... could it be Bulma from Earth?"
"She looks a bit like her, but she's lost so much weight. Is it really her?"
Bulma shouted angrily: "Hey, all of you come out! You don't even recognize me? I provided you with housing on Earth, you know!"
"It really is Bulma! Why are you here?"
A Namekian ran out.
"Of course it's me! What were you hiding from?"
The Namekian waved to those behind him.
"Everyone come out! It's not a monster. It's Bulma from Earth."
"Miss Bulma, long time no see!"
"Did Earth not have enough food? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Bulma's mouth twitched: "What do you know? Nowadays, being thin is considered beautiful. I worked hard for my firm tummy and A4 waist."
"I don't get it."
"I don't understand Earth's aesthetics. So ugly."
Towa interrupted their nonsense.
"Alright, we came here to use Namek's Dragon Balls."
"Use the Dragon Balls? Was Earth destroyed again?"
Bulma: "..."
Towa looked around at them.
"Did something happen? Why were you all hiding so far away when we arrived?"
Elder Moori stepped forward.
"Exactly. This planet has experienced many strange things lately."
"Recently, for some unknown reason, the sunlight has been insufficient, and the climate has gradually become harsh."
Bulma was stunned: "No way? Don't you have the Dragon Balls? Can't Porunga do anything about it?"
Elder Moori shook his head: "If Porunga could do something, we wouldn't have nearly perished a few hundred years ago."
"Insufficient sunlight?"
Bulma looked up at Namek's suns.
There were three in total.
But usually, only two could be seen at a time. When one set, the next would rise.
There were always two suns in the sky.
She didn't notice anything wrong.
But Towa seemed to sense something.
"Bulma, something is definitely wrong. The sun's energy is decaying."
Bulma propped her chin on her hand and muttered: "What? How can you tell? I didn't notice anything."
Towa said exasperatedly: "I noticed it with my Eight-Times Magnification."
Even if the sun's light weakened, it wouldn't be visible to the naked eye.
The dazzling light only showed a bright ball, nothing else.
But Towa sensed a slight anomaly with her magic.
"No, it's not just the sun's energy decaying. It's that the energy of all planets is slowly weakening."
Bulma frowned.
"That shouldn't be. The lifespan of a sun is measured in hundreds of millions of years. And it's been only a few decades at most since we last came to Namek. How could it decay so dramatically in such a short time?"
Elder Moori said: "It didn't decay over the past few decades. It's happened just recently."
Towa frowned.
"This is probably beyond our ability to handle now. First, resurrect Goku. Then I'll go find my daughter and have Chisato-sama see what's going on."
Bulma nodded: "Okay, fine."
Moori said: "Using it to resurrect Goku again? His fate is truly turbulent!"
"Please wait a moment. Our Dragon Balls are in various villages. I'll have them sent over."
With that, the two antennae atop Moori's head began emitting telepathic waves.
Villages with Dragon Balls received the message.
Each sent warriors to deliver their Dragon Balls.
Moments later, the seven Dragon Balls were gathered.
Moori, speaking in rustic Namekian, summoned the dragon for Bulma.
"Come out, Porunga!"
A golden light flashed, and Porunga slowly rose into the sky.
However, Porunga was much thinner now compared to a few years ago.
Everyone was curious.
"What's going on? Even Porunga has lost weight?"
The Namekians were also curious.
"I don't know. He didn't look like this last time."
Porunga's eyes brightened, then he said: "There's probably a problem in the Divine Realm. The energy of the entire universe has decayed significantly."
"Damn, why is it the Divine Realm again! It's endless!" Towa said helplessly.
"Never mind that for now. Make the wish. Dragon, please resurrect Son Goku."
Moori repeated Bulma's wish in Namekian.
Porunga's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
"Sorry, I cannot."
"Cannot? Why?"
"Son Goku's soul is too powerful. His physical body should possess the power of rules. I cannot revive a body of that level."
Towa gasped.
"Even the dragon is powerless against increased power. Truly terrifying."
"What a pity. I guess we'll have to wait for the Super Dragon Balls."
Towa nodded: "It seems so."
"Since we can't do anything, let's head back first. I also need to go to the Divine Realm to ask Saline and Chisato-sama what's going on."
Just then, the figures of Kibito and Shin teleported to Namek.
"No need to go. I know what the problem is."
Bulma asked curiously: "What is the problem? Tell us."
"Universal matter and energy convert into each other, but the total should be constant. Some time ago, when the Evil God descended, it not only absorbed the power of the top-level experts but also absorbed much of the universe's life energy."
"This caused the vitality of all universes to decline."
"What? But isn't that god dead? Didn't the energy completely return?"
The Supreme Kai shook his head: "If the Evil God had turned back into energy and returned, the Angels should have also recovered to their strongest state."
"But they haven't."
"Therefore, the Evil God, in a form we cannot comprehend, is still alive."
