A Not-So-Good World

It really can grant two wishes!

Upon hearing Shenron's opening remarks, Son Gohan was overjoyed. He took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Shenron, please revive me."

The Red Shenron stared at Son Gohan for a while, its booming voice piercing everyone's eardrums, "Just resurrection? That wish is easy."

After saying that, his huge eyes lit up with a blood-red light, and a Shenron power was released into Son Gohan's body. At that moment, Son Gohan felt his whole body filled with energy, and the halo above his head disappeared.

After moving his limbs, Son Gohan confirmed that he had been revived.

"Your wish has been granted. Now, state your second wish!"

"Let me do this." Roland smiled and stepped forward, looking at the Shenron in the sky.

"Shenron, tell me how to return to my original world!"

The Red Shenron remained silent for a long time, seemingly analyzing with its Shenron power whether the wish could be fulfilled. After a long while, the Shenron spoke, "I'm sorry, Mr. Roland, this wish is beyond my capabilities."

"What do you mean?" Roland stared at the Shenron. Although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"The world Mr. Roland lives in is not simply a parallel world. Breaking down the barriers between universes is beyond my ability to achieve, unless Mr. Roland can find the legendary Super Dragon Ball... But in this world, the Super Dragon Ball do not exist."

Roland was stunned. How could this world not have Super Dragon Ball?

Why isn't there Super Dragon Ball?

"This area is extremely far from the range covered by the Dragon God Zalama's power, so Lord Zalama did not create the Super Dragon Ball here. Moreover, the ruler of this world does not allow the existence of the Super Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball are items rejected by the rules here. Ordinary Dragon Ball and Namekian Dragon Balls are the limit of their existence. After I complete this summoning, I will regress again, otherwise it will lead to unimaginable consequences!"

Roland frowned deeply, the meaning conveyed by the Red Shenron's words was worth pondering.

What area is this that even the power of Dragon God Zalama cannot cover? The Dragon Ball are being rejected here. It seems that the world he has come to is very different from the world he came from!

He had actually noticed this when he first arrived. The restrictions this world placed on the heroes of Other World, and the destruction of New Planet Namek... all seemed to have something intriguing about them.

How can I return to my original world?

The Red Shenron paused for a moment, "Only by activating the power of the red Shenron within Mr. Roland, or by activating the power of the Blue Crystal, is there any possibility of returning. It depends on luck... Alternatively, there is another possibility: that a being of cosmic Angel level will personally intervene."

"I'm sorry, the power of this world is corrupting me; I must leave..."

After saying this, the Red Shenron let out a long roar, and streams of Shenron power transformed into red smoke that gradually peeled away from its body. Soon, the thousand-meter-long dragon transformed back into a hundred-meter-long green Shenron, and then split into seven, flying off to all parts of the world.

After the Shenron disappeared, the azure sky reappeared, and the sun shone brightly on the earth once more.

"Things seem a bit bad!" Roland muttered to himself, looking in the direction where the Shenron had disappeared.

"Gohan, we might have to go back in the Time Machine."

"How could it be so fast?"

"Something's not right," Roland said.

"I see."

Son Gohan pondered Shenron's words. Although he didn't understand their meaning, he vaguely sensed something extraordinary. It seemed that his world was very different from Roland's world. At least he had heard Roland say that in another world, the heroes of Other World could live indefinitely until they grew tired of it, while here he was subject to many restrictions.

Even the heroes who save the world can only exist for ten years.

"Uncle Piccolo, Dad will be landing on Earth in a spaceship in three hours. Here is a special medicine for treating heart disease. Please give it to him. Also, Aunt Bulma, here is a video of the future world and some words from my mother. Please take it to Mount Paozu."

Son Gohan bids farewell to Piccolo and the others.

Besides the video and the special medicine, Son Gohan handed him a Capsule, saying, "This contains some gold from the future. With this, our family won't have to struggle financially, and Dad can fully focus on his training. You must also work hard and never slack off!"

"Yes!" This time Son Gohan nodded vigorously.

"Please train diligently, everyone. The enemy will appear in three years. The Android are extremely powerful, so we must not be careless!"

"Don't worry, we will continue to strengthen our cultivation."

Krillin and Yamcha patted their chests and assured him that they had known about the future three years in advance, and if they were still defeated by the Android, they would be utterly useless.

Piccolo looked at Son Gohan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Take care!"

"Um."

Son Gohan chuckled. "By the way, New Planet Namek will face another disaster in the future. With Frieza and his father's spaceship there, they should be able to help."

With that, he tossed out the Hoi-Poi Capsule., and Son Gohan and Roland boarded the Time Machine together. Amidst the waving goodbyes of the crowd, they slowly ascended into the sky. Son Gohan gave everyone a thumbs-up, chuckled, pressed the jump button on the Time Machine, and with a "whoosh," the Time Machine vanished into the sky.

After Son Gohan and Roland disappeared, Piccolo said seriously, "In order to prepare for the disaster three years from now, we must intensify our training and absolutely not let Gohan and the others' hard work go to waste."

"Of course."

"Let's all work together to prevent this tragedy from happening again."

Everyone wore determined looks, while in the distant outer space, the spaceship carrying Goku was rapidly approaching Earth.

Beyond the universe, in an exceptionally mysterious place.

A pale purple mist filled the air, drifting and ethereal, like a dream.

Dozens of enormous planets traverse through thick clouds at incredible speeds, yet maintain a dynamic balance with each other. At the center of this cloud-shrouded space lies a majestic planet, which acts as the center of the entire world, around which all matter and energy revolve.

On the planet, ancient, lush trees reach into the clouds.

A tall, slender figure with purple hair walked slowly up the stone steps, the sound of footsteps echoing around them. Just then, a Staff of the Gods in the purple-haired, robed figure's hand lit up.

The man picked up the Staff of the Gods, glanced at it, and a hint of indifference appeared on his calm face.

"The power of the Dragon God has actually appeared in the Sub-World 41; this is against the rules." Frowning, the purple-haired man in the long robe pointed towards the void.

Clang! The space trembled, and a figure with antlers suddenly appeared.

"Nos North, what are your orders?"

The antlered man bowed respectfully to the purple-haired man Nos.

Nos gripped his Staff of the Gods and said indifferently, "Pomfrey, a person with the Dragon God Power has appeared in your Sub-World 41. This person is very likely from another world. Find him and eliminate him as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

Pomfrey nodded respectfully.

"Be careful, since that person was able to penetrate the cosmic barrier, they likely possess some special abilities. Our world needs stability and absolutely cannot tolerate any unstable elements."

"Understood." Without asking any further questions, the antler-man Pomfrey Beaumontfrey turned and headed towards the Sub-World 41.
