Gran reached toward the empty space above the Grand Elder's chair, and the Dragon Ball atop it instantly flew into his hand.
Nail glanced at the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder nodded. "Begin summoning Porunga."
"Yes!"
Nail walked over to Gran.
Gran then placed the last Dragon Ball on the ground.
The seven basketball-sized Dragon Balls gathered together and instantly resonated, each one sparkling with light.
At last, Gran was seeing the legendary Dragon Balls. He felt a little excited.
Earth's seven Dragon Balls had begun the Dragon Ball story, while Planet Namek's seven Dragon Balls had brought it to its climax.
If events followed the plot, Frieza, Vegeta, Goku, and the others would come here to fight over these Dragon Balls.
And the iconic scene that would eclipse all anime would also be born here!!
"Lord Kai, can this really grant wishes?" Kibito asked quietly from the side.
"I don't know. This is also my first time seeing such magical balls."
Shin the God of Destruction shook his head, then his gaze suddenly sharpened. "It's starting!"
At that moment, Nail began chanting in the Namekian language. As the final word fell—
Rumble—!
The winds and clouds changed color!
The sky instantly darkened.
Bzzzz!!!
The Dragon Balls' resonance became piercing, and at that moment, all seven Dragon Balls began glowing with golden light.
Crackle!
Along with arcs of golden electricity, seven beams of golden light shot into the sky. They merged into one in midair, and the thick golden radiance formed a dragon-shaped creature.
"It came out!"
Gran clenched his little fists, his excitement rising even higher.
"Lord Candidate God of Destruction, this Dragon God is called Porunga. In the Namekian language, it means God of Dreams," the Grand Elder explained.
"The name isn't bad, but it looks a little ugly!" Shin the God of Destruction complained from the side.
Kibito nodded as well. Whatever his Lord Kai said was right.
Gran looked up at Porunga. Its appearance somewhat resembled the Genie from Aladdin's Magic Lamp.
He calmed his excitement and finally spoke. "It really is pretty ugly!"
Nail: "..."
Grand Elder: "..."
Just then!
"You who summoned the Dragon God, state your three wishes. I can grant any wish!" Porunga, coiled high in the sky, slowly spoke.
"Any wish?"
Shin the God of Destruction widened his eyes. He tugged at the little boy's clothes beside him and said in surprise, "Gran, it said it can grant any wish!"
"Don't listen to its nonsense. It's actually lying to you!"
Gran's lips twitched. It seemed every Dragon God said something like that when it appeared.
But anyone who had watched the anime knew that Dragon Gods actually had many wishes they could not grant.
Seeing how much this damn Dragon God liked showing off, Gran felt like teasing it. With a wicked grin, he said:
"Nail, tell it my first wish. My first wish is to obtain an Immortal Body that not even Lord King of All can erase!"
????
Nail, the Grand Elder, Kibito, and Shin the God of Destruction were all utterly bewildered. Who was Lord King of All?
Though confused, Nail still repeated Gran's wish in the Namekian language.
"*#&$^..."
The moment Nail's voice fell silent, the sky suddenly became deathly quiet!!
Looking at Porunga again, its face had turned deathly pale at some point, and cold sweat covered its entire face.
"Th-That wish cannot be granted!"
"See, Shin? Dragon Gods like this lie, don't they?" Gran said with his little head held high.
Hearing Gran's voice, Porunga finally shifted its gaze onto him.
Rumble—!!
Porunga's entire body suddenly trembled. It somehow pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from its forehead as it respectfully said:
"G-Greetings, Lord Candidate God of Destruction!!"
Everyone: "..."
Where had that little handkerchief come from?
"Gran, this Dragon God knows you too!"
Shin the God of Destruction nudged Gran's little shoulder. He had not expected so many people in this universe to know the Candidate God of Destruction.
Hearing Shin the God of Destruction's words, Porunga shifted its gaze onto him again.
"L-Lord Kai!!"
Porunga was startled once more.
Good heavens, what was going on today? Why had such great gods all appeared?
"Huh? You know me too?"
Shin the God of Destruction was a little surprised, but he curled his lip. "Didn't you just say you could grant any wish? Why can't you grant Gran's wish?"
Porunga: "..."
Did he even hear what that wish was? He wanted an Immortal Body that not even Lord King of All could erase!
Even Super Dragon could not grant such a wish. How could a minor Dragon God like it possibly do so?
"Lord Kai, Lord Candidate God of Destruction, I'm sorry. That wish is simply too difficult. I cannot grant it!"
"Since that won't work, let's change it. Make me the strongest expert in King of All's Universe." Gran looked teasingly at it.
Porunga: "..."
At that moment, it truly wanted to slap itself twice. It was already bad enough that it had encountered these two great gods without checking the almanac before leaving home today. It had even bragged in front of them!
"Looking at that constipated expression on your face, it seems you can't grant this wish either."
Gran chuckled. "Then let me state a third wish. Make me truly immortal and ageless!"
Damn it, when he used to watch the anime, he had thought Dragon Gods could really grant any wish. Let's see if this doesn't scare you to death!
"..."
Porunga's face looked as ugly as if it had eaten shit, and its voice trembled. "Lord Candidate God of Destruction, please spare me!"
Gran showed no reaction to Porunga's plea. He had only wanted to tease this Dragon God.
But Shin the God of Destruction's expression suddenly turned cold. "Then why did you lie and say you could grant any wish?"
The Grand Elder's heart skipped a beat. Porunga lied all day long. Anyone who did not know better would really think it could grant any wish!
Now things had gone wrong. Lord Kai was angry. Would Lord Candidate God of Destruction be angry too?
If he got angry too, then their Planet Namek would be finished!
The Grand Elder hurriedly looked at Gran.
Fortunately, Gran did not seem angry from his expression.
Everyone fell silent at once, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Gran quietly watched Porunga begging in the sky, no one knowing what he was thinking.
Shin the God of Destruction had no time to deal with this lying Dragon God. He looked at Gran. What kind of wish would this child make next?
The Grand Elder and Nail exchanged a glance. They were also very curious about Lord Candidate God of Destruction's true wish.
