Summary: Alphians/Alphans saw an Asteroid and detected a breathable condition inside it, not on it. When they landed on the Asteroid for investigation they made explosions to go inside it. Inside it they found a one room world with only one occupant who was seriously hurt and injured due to explosion. Latter it was found that he was a citizen of the Planet Progon , and people of Progon achieved immortality. But there are certain loops in the story in constitute loop wholes. 1] It is shewn that the closed door of the room was blasted and the only occupant [Balor] was seriously injured. This means he was not invulnerable to this type of blast. Alphans could have tried to injure Balor by making such a blast, somewhere in the base. But not even a single advise was given neither in support of it nor against it. Such a blast would not have killed Balor but must have made him unconscious for sufficient period of time to get rid of him before he would get healed. 2] In an other scene it is seen that Balor did not die by Laser guns of Alphans but pain was inflected upon him. So Alphans/Alphians could have inflicted pains by firing by their Laser weapons ,to compel him to come to negotiation, and they could force him to leave the base ALPHA on the wandering moon. 3] It is seen in the end that an Eagle fired a strong ray which destroyed the Asteroid for a short period of time. After that it must have regenerated it self since it was indestructible in the sense it must always regenerate itself even if it was disintegrated to atoms or molecules. Even the bombardment of Anti Matter could not destroy it perpetually as shewn in a scene when the late Burgman tried to destroy it by using Anti Matter Marticles. Any how a laser equivalent to that of an Eagle could have destroyed Balor for a long period of time sufficiently long enough o get rid of him. Since if the regeneration process would have started , first Balors Body would have been regenerated , and his wounds would have been healed , and lastly he must have taken some time before he would have resurrected after the formation and reformation of his body.
