He naturally also knew Bardock. Even though the other party was a low-class warrior, that powerful strength had, back then, once suppressed all the elite higher-ups.
After hearing Talot mention matters concerning his father, Raditz's heart was stirred with excitement.
Although many possibilities had been tried over the years and all had failed, now that an existence like an Angel could be sought for help, perhaps it really could be done.
Even the usually insensitive Goku became fully focused.
Although he had never met this father, Bardock, from his family's accounts he knew what kind of person Bardock was.
"Hey, hey, hey~! I say, kid, you're not thinking of messing with time, are you? The laws of the universe clearly state that traversing time is a serious crime! This kind of thing, I won't just pretend I didn't hear it." Because it involved time, Champa stopped eating and spoke up to question him.
Time was something that even gods could not touch. Aside from Supreme Kai using the Time Ring for creation, it was absolutely forbidden to be used in any other way.
Talot asking Whis for help involved time. Even though he was the God of Destruction of Universe 6 and Universe 7 was not under his jurisdiction, he still had to make his stance clear.
"I never said I wanted to mess with time. I just want to bring back the people from our world who ended up stranded outside. Speaking of which, if we continue to let our world's people run amok in other worlds, that would instead disrupt the balance of another world." Talot spoke up in rebuttal.
There was indeed a bit of logic to it, even if it was rather forced.
The corner of Champa's mouth twitched. He could feel that something was off, yet for the moment he couldn't pinpoint where the problem lay.
"Pfft, hee hee~~ Lord Champa, I always tell you to eat less sweets. Looks like all your brain cells have grown into fat," Vados said with a laugh.
There was a glint in her eyes. In fact, she could have pointed out the flaw in Talot's words, but she did not say it.
At this moment, after careful consideration, Whis made a bold decision.
"I understand. However, I cannot give you an accurate guarantee, after all this matter happened many years ago. And I also need a certain amount of time to search for the coordinates. I may encounter some trouble. If I am unable to bring him back…" Whis spoke very tactfully, letting Talot know that this matter was not so simple.
Talot nodded. "If he can't be brought back, then there truly is nothing that can be done."
After saying that, Talot looked again at Gine and sighed.
Seeing this, Vados suddenly spoke up from the side. "Little brother, if you can't bring him back with your power, how about you send Talot over? That way, wouldn't there be a medium? As your big sister, I could lend you a hand."
Vados's words shocked Talot and everyone present.
This was undoubtedly saying that Whis alone could not manage it, and that Vados was also willing to help.
…
The matter was more or less settled.
However, it was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.
Before long, it was deep into the night, and the party had also reached its end.
Everyone gradually took their leave, and in the end only Vados and Champa remained at the scene, along with Whis, of course.
The reason they had not yet left was that Bulma had prepared in advance and had people deliver many packed portions of food.
This was also considered compensation for the two Angels' help.
"Thank you very much for the hospitality, Mrs. Bulma." Vados smiled broadly as she thanked Bulma.
"Not at all. We got to know each other without fighting, and we're all friends now. Friends help each other out. Besides, I only did what I could by providing some Earth food. If you ever run short in the future, you can come and get some anytime." Bulma smiled. That demeanor firmly maintained her web of relationships.
"You're right, we're all friends now." Vados said with a smile.
The two women chatted happily, while the ignored Champa looked displeased.
"Tch. For the sake of all this food you prepared, I won't pursue the matter of you wanting to go to another timeline to bring back that person called Bardock. However, I still have to remind you: when you play with time, time will also play with you. Don't be careless and end up losing your own life." Champa looked at Talot and warned him.
This could be considered a well-intentioned reminder, even if the tone wasn't very good.
"Don't worry. I'm quite tough; even you couldn't kill me. Besides, I might not even need to go, right?" Talot said with a calm smile.
Champa said no more. He turned his head to Vados and said, "Let's go, Vados! It's time for us to head back."
"Alright, Lord Champa. Then everyone, we'll be taking our leave now." Vados waved in farewell.
The next second, brilliant seven-colored rainbow light shot up from the ground. Vados took Champa with her, and just like that, they left Earth.
"Since my sister and Lord Champa have left, I should also take my leave. Once there's any news, I'll contact you, Talot." Seeing this, Whis did not linger either. He set off from Earth and returned to Universe 7's God of Destruction's Planet.
…
After seeing everyone off, Talot stood in place, gazing at the starry sky.
Because the weather was good, the sky was filled with twinkling starlight, exceptionally beautiful.
Bulma and Salari stood beside Talot, along with their daughter, Talora.
Although she can speak and understands some things, she is, after all, not yet two years old and is too young.
"Hopefully everything goes smoothly. If I really have to make the trip, then I must go. It would be repaying the kindness from back then," Talot said.
Bulma didn't quite understand, but Salari deeply empathized.
Back then, they had all been very young and indeed had received care from Bardock.
"I wonder how Uncle Bardock is doing in that world? So many years have passed on our side. If we meet again, who knows what it'll be like?" Salari said.
"Who knows? Perhaps all these years have passed for us here, while only a very short time has gone by for Uncle Bardock. After all, this involves crossing through time..." Talot didn't intend to dwell on it further. He gave Salari a glance and then turned to Bulma, saying, "Let's head back inside. You've had a long day, Bulma. You should get some rest."
"Mhm." Bulma was already more than six months pregnant and had entered the most exhausting stage of pregnancy.
Talot had already made up his mind: even if he needed to make the trip personally, it would have to wait until after Bulma gave birth.
That way, when he left, he would feel much more at ease, without any psychological burden.
The two women followed beside Talot like this, heading toward the main house.
Talora, meanwhile, was clinging to Talot's shoulder, acting spoiled.
Since the little girl had become aware of things, she had always stuck close to Talot. It had to be said, her personality was exactly the same as Talot.
