Glen reached toward the Grand Elder's seat and grasped at the air, instantly drawing the Dragon Ball on it into his hand.
Nail glanced at the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder nodded. "Begin summoning Porunga."
"Yes!"
Nail came to Glen's side.
Glen then placed the final Dragon Ball on the ground.
The seven basketball-sized Dragon Balls gathered together and instantly resonated, each one shining.
Finally seeing the legendary Dragon Balls left Glen feeling 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, and Son Goku would come to fight over the Dragon Balls here.
And an iconic scene that put the rest of anime to shame would be born here, too!!
"Supreme Kai, can these really grant wishes?" Kibito asked quietly from beside him.
"I don't know. This is my first time seeing such miraculous orbs, too."
Supreme Kai Shin shook his head, then his gaze suddenly sharpened. "It's starting!"
At that moment, Nail began chanting in the Namekian language, and as the final word left his lips-
Rumble!
The wind and clouds changed!
The sky instantly darkened.
Buzzz!!!
The Dragon Balls' resonance grew piercing, and at that moment, golden light poured from all seven.
Crackle!
As golden arcs of electricity appeared, seven beams of golden light shot skyward, merging into one in midair. The thick golden radiance formed a dragonlike creature.
"He's here!"
Glen clenched his little fists, his excitement rising further.
"God of Destruction Candidate, this dragon is named Porunga. In the Namekian language, it means 'god of dreams,'" the Grand Elder explained.
"The name's pretty good, but he looks a little ugly!" Supreme Kai Shin quipped from the side.
Kibito nodded as well. Whatever his Supreme Kai said was right.
Glen looked up at Porunga. His appearance somewhat resembled the genie from Aladdin's lamp.
He calmed his excitement before speaking as well. "He really is pretty ugly!"
Nail: "..."
Grand Elder: "..."
Just then!
"You who summoned the dragon, state your three wishes. I can grant any wish!" Porunga, coiled overhead, slowly spoke.
"Any wish?"
Supreme Kai Shin's eyes widened. He tugged at the clothes of the child beside him and exclaimed, "Glen, he says he can grant any wish!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's lying to you!"
The corner of Glen's mouth twitched. It seemed every dragon said that upon appearing.
But anyone who had watched the anime knew there were actually plenty of wishes these dragons couldn't grant.
Seeing how much this damn dragon enjoyed showing off, Glen felt like teasing him and said with a wicked grin:
"Nail, tell him my first wish. My first wish is to obtain an immortal body that even Lord Zeno can't erase!"
????
Nail, the Grand Elder, Kibito, and Supreme Kai Shin all looked baffled. Who was Lord Zeno?
Though puzzled, Nail still repeated Glen's wish in the Namekian language.
"*#&$^..."
The instant Nail finished speaking, the sky fell deathly silent!!
Looking at Porunga again, his face had turned deathly pale at some point, and cold sweat covered his entire face.
"Th-this... I can't grant that wish!"
"See, Shin? Don't dragons like him just lie to people?" Glen said, raising his little head.
Only upon hearing Glen's voice did Porunga shift his gaze onto him.
Rumble!!
Porunga's entire body shuddered violently. He produced a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the sweat from his forehead, speaking respectfully:
"G-greetings, God of Destruction Candidate!!"
Everyone: "..."
Where did that little handkerchief of yours come from?
"Glen, this dragon knows you, too!"
Supreme Kai Shin nudged Glen's little shoulder. He hadn't expected so many people in this universe to know the God of Destruction Candidate.
Hearing Supreme Kai Shin's words, Porunga shifted his gaze onto him.
"S-Supreme Kai!!"
Porunga received another fright.
Good grief, what was going on today? Why were even deities like these showing up?
"Huh, you know me, too?"
Supreme Kai Shin was a little surprised, but he pursed his lips. "Didn't you just say you could grant any wish? Why can't you grant Glen's wish?"
Porunga: "..."
Did you even listen to what his wish was? He wanted an immortal body that even Lord Zeno couldn't erase!
Even Super Shenron couldn't grant a wish like that. How could a small-fry dragon like him possibly do it?
"Supreme Kai, God of Destruction Candidate, I'm sorry. That wish is simply too difficult. I can't grant it!"
"If that one won't work, then let's try another. Make me the strongest fighter in Zeno's Universe," Glen said with a teasing expression.
Porunga: "..."
He truly wanted to slap himself twice right then. Running into these two mighty deities after failing to check his luck before leaving home was bad enough, but he had even boasted right in front of them!
"Judging by that constipated look on your face, it seems you can't grant this wish either."
Glen chuckled. "Then let me state my third wish. Give me eternal life and youth in the truest sense!"
Damn it, back when I watched the anime, I thought dragons really could grant any wish. Let's see if this scares you lot to death!
"..."
Porunga looked as though he had eaten shit, and his voice trembled. "God of Destruction Candidate, please spare me!"
Glenlan didn't have much of a reaction to Porunga's pleading. He had only wanted to tease the dragon in the first place.
But Supreme Kai Shin's expression suddenly turned cold. "Then why did you just lie and say you could grant any wish?"
The Grand Elder's heart skipped a beat. Porunga spouted lies all day long. Anyone who didn't know better would really think he could grant any wish!
Now look what happened. The Supreme Kai was angry. Surely the God of Destruction Candidate wasn't angry, too?
If he was angry as well, their Planet Namek was finished!
The Grand Elder hurriedly looked at Glen.
Fortunately, judging by his expression, he didn't seem angry.
Everyone fell silent at once, and the atmosphere suddenly grew delicate.
Glen quietly watched Porunga pleading in the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Supreme Kai Shin had no time to bother with this lying dragon, either. He looked at Glen. What kind of wish would this child make next?
The Grand Elder and Nail exchanged a glance. They were also very curious about what the God of Destruction Candidate's real wish was.
