Mr. Popo stood in front of the figurine, and just like summoning a divine dragon, he uttered a series of words in a language that Lin Chen couldn’t comprehend.
Immediately, the sky above everyone’s heads split open, and amidst the roar of a dragon, a luminous green divine dragon emerged from a rift.
Surprisingly, this divine dragon bore an uncanny resemblance to the one Mr. Popo had just taken out.
“Mr. Lin Chen, this is the envoy who will guide you to the Dragon Realm. Please, take sit down on it,” Mr. Popo said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen flew up and approached the divine dragon.
Upon a closer look, Lin Chen noticed that this divine dragon, although slender, bore a striking resemblance to the Namekians divine dragon.
As Lin Chen examined it up close, Mr. Popo called out from below, reminding him, “Mr. Lin Chen, your divine dragon hasn’t been completely consumed by evil yet. Once you arrive in the Dragon Realm, it will sense your presence. You can ask it everything.”
Lin Chen nodded and waved to Mr. Popo and others. He then took a seat on the back of the luminous green divine dragon.
Without any command from Lin Chen, the luminous green divine dragon seemed to understand his thoughts. After a roar, its majestic body began to spiral upwards.
The divine dragon, with Lin Chen, returned along the same path through the rift in the sky from which it had come from, and then promptly disappeared into it.
After they disappeared into the passage, the sky returned to its pristine clarity, as if nothing had happened.
“Mr. Lin Chen is truly remarkable, capable of creating Dragon Balls and possessing power even greater than Majin Buu,” Dende remarked, gazing at the now-empty sky.
Kamiccolo nodded in agreement but then shifted his gaze to Mr. Popo, who was standing nearby.
Having inherited Great Demon King Piccolo’s memories, he now knew some things he hadn’t known before.
“Mr. Popo, can you tell me who you really are?”
Mr. Popo turned to look at Piccolo. “Mr. Kamiccolo, my identity is something you’re better off not inquiring about.”
Kamiccolo stared at Popo, realizing that Mr. Popo, who had spent hundreds of years with his predecessor, Old Kami, had such an unfamiliar side to him.
Who was he really? How did he know so much?
Why did he know how to go to the Dragon Realm?
Suddenly…
A flash of realization crossed Kamiccolo’s mind, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
“Could it be… could it be that you are…”
…
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and the divine dragon were traversing through the spatial rift.
Having already grasped the Elementray Power of Space, Lin Chen quickly realized that this rift was some kind of dimensional passage, much like the one he had traversed when visiting the Time Nest.
Within this passage, there was no concept of time or space; everything was incredibly mysterious and magical.
Lin Chen had no idea how long he had been traveling through the passage.
Suddenly, he saw a light before him.
A golden space lay ahead of them.
In Lin Chen’s view, there was an enormous floating continent.
This continent appeared immensely vast, possibly covering the area of an entire galaxy, with no end in sight.
Could this continent be Dragon Realm?
The luminous green divine dragon, with Lin Chen, flew towards the continent and soon arrived above it.
This allowed Lin Chen to observe the continent below from a closer perspective.
The Dragon Ball world’s higher-dimensional worlds, it can be said that Lin Chen has already been to two of them; Time Nest and Sacred World of the Kai。
But no matter which higher-dimensional world it is, they all seem a bit desolate.
However, in this Dragon Realm, it’s quite the opposite; life here thrives more vigorously.
Across the continent, majestic mountain ranges rose and fell, interweaving with each other. Within these mountains, enormous dragon-like creatures could occasionally be seen.
Regardless of their size or whether they were on the ground or in the sky, as soon as they saw the luminous green divine dragon beneath Lin Chen’s feet, they immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves, as if they were in the presence of a deity.
But at that moment, a dragon’s roar suddenly echoed from a distance.
Shortly afterward, a golden streak of lightning flew toward Lin Chen and the divine dragon.
In no time, the streak of lightning arrived before Lin Chen.
“My Lord! You have actually come to the Dragon Realm?” a deep voice rang out.
The true form of this golden streak of lightning turned out to be the Saiyan divine dragon that Lin Chen had created. Moreover, the divine dragon was surprisingly in its humanoid combat form.
Due to Mr. Popo’s reminder, Lin Chen wasn’t particularly surprised by the appearance of the divine dragon.
“The reason I’m here, isn’t it because of you?” Lin Chen replied as he dismounted from the luminous green divine dragon.
The Saiyan divine dragon looked ashamed. It spoke a few words to the luminous green divine dragon in a language that Lin Chen could not understand, but which was very similar to the language that Mr. Popo had used to summon the divine dragon before.
The luminous green divine dragon then turned around and departed.
“My Lord, please allow me to lead the way for you.”
“I’ve come here to cleanse the evil energy that’s been corrupting the Dragon Balls.”
“I already know, my Lord. Please follow me.”
The Saiyan divine dragon promptly led Lin Chen towards the eastern part of the continent.
As they flew, Lin Chen couldn’t help but say, “You had to just revive a few humans, yet you ended up getting corrupted?”
“My Lord, it’s not my fault. Because you’re not a Namekian, I lack the Power of Miracle to dispel resentment.”
“Why can Namekians do it then?”
“Because they are the chosen ones to whom Zalama-sama personally bestowed the Power of Miracles. Your power, my Lord, comes from Super Shenron.”
“Well then,” Lin Chen shook his head, essentially concluding that his power to create Dragon Balls was nothing more than a counterfeit compared to the genuine good.
It turned out that despite all the hype about Super Shenron, the abilities it granted were also just imitations.
“So, what should I do now? I went through so much trouble to get those Dragon Balls; I can’t just let them go to waste, right?”
“My Lord, before you arrived, I was in battle with the embodiment of evil. If you can assist me in defeating it, we can eliminate it once and for all.”
“Eliminate? What about you?”
“As long as I absorb the opponent’s power while eliminating them, I can retain my original divine powers.”
“Very well, then let’s do it this way!”
At this point, Lin Chen finally understood what he needed to do.
It turned out to be quite simple, just one word: Kill
Now that there’s a clear goal in place, the next steps will be much simpler..
As they continued to fly forward not far ahead, Lin Chen noticed a change in the scenery below.
Every so often, he could see palaces with diverse styles and distinct characteristics.
In those palaces, Lin Chen could sense an aura similar to that of his Saiyan divine dragon.
“What are they?” Lin Chen curiously asked.
“My Lord, those are the palaces of divine dragons from various universes, and they serve as residence for us divine dragons.”
