Syn Shenron's foot stepped on Gohan's chest, making him unable to move.
"Do you know how I was born?" Syn Shenron said calmly.
"All the victims who were killed by King Piccolo when your father and others used Dragon Balls, Resurrection."
It was "a seemingly great wish, right? To save innocents, to restore lives. What a touching act of justice."
As he spoke, Syn Shenron turned his feet, and Gohan felt a stab of pain in his ribs.
"But have you ever thought about how many people's lives this wish has changed?"
"Life and death are the most basic principles of the universe Laws."
"The existence of a life has a beginning and an end, and death is also part of the rules. Every time you use Dragon Balls Resurrection, there will be a crack in this Laws."
"If there are too many cracks, changes will occur and have negative consequences."
"And I am the consequences."
Gohan Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he struggled to squeeze out a sentence.
"You're... talking nonsense..."
"Nonsense?" Syn Shenron's tone was chillingly calm. "Then let me put it in another way that you can understand."
He opened his right hand, and a black ball of Negative Energy condensed into a small screen in his palm.
A picture began to play on the screen. King Piccolo stood in the sky above the city and launched an attack with his palms on the square filled with people below.
A beam of light fell and the square was razed to the ground.
Then the screen jumps.
Shenron was summoned, and a voice spoke a wish.
"Please Resurrection all those killed by King Piccolo!"
Shenron's eyes lit up, and countless rays of golden light shot out from Dragon Balls and scattered all over the world.
The murdered people woke up from death one by one, and their relatives hugged each other and cried.
The picture looks very warm.
But then, Syn Shenron played another side of the same history.
At the moment Shenron realized his wish, very thin cracks appeared on the edge of the black screen.
That is the secondary energy produced when the universe Laws is forcibly twisted.
That energy passed through space and time, leaving black marks inside Dragon Balls.
"Every time you disobey death, there is a price to pay."
Syn Shenron took back his right hand.
"If you don't pay, Laws of the universe will collect it in his own way."
He stepped on Gohan with a little more force.
"So I was born."
"You said I killed those people. But have you ever thought that if your father and others had not used Dragon Balls to reverse life and death, the residents of this city would still be alive and well now?"
"I was born out of your wishes, so the root cause of those people's deaths lies with you."
Syn Shenron leaned down and looked at Gohan.
"So don't look at me with those righteous eyes. You don't deserve it."
"Asshole!" Gohan roared and tried to free Syn Shenron's foot.
"What? Are you angry because someone said something about your feelings?" Syn Shenron smiled.
"Let me tell you one more thing. Do you know what proportion of the wishes you made were those who were killed after Resurrection?"
He raised his finger.
"More than 70%."
"You have Resurrection those who died in the battle again and again. But what happens after Resurrection? The next battle will continue to die, and the dead will continue to Resurrection. The cycle repeats."
Syn Shenron closed his fingers and clenched them into fists.
"In your eyes, life is just a consumable that can be used repeatedly."
"No!" Gohan retorted with great effort.
"Those people..."
"They are innocent lives. Whether they were killed by King Piccolo or by something else, they are all innocent."
"Innocent?" Syn Shenron shook his head. "So what?"
"Survival of the fittest. The weak are killed by the strong. This is Laws that has existed since the day the universe was born."
"King Piccolo was stronger than those people, so he killed them. What's wrong with that?"
"Frieza is stronger than Namekian, so he slaughtered Namek. What's wrong with this?"
"You used Dragon Balls to reverse all of this. What you violated was not the will of any one person, but the laws of the entire universe."
Syn Shenron's voice started to get louder.
"Those who were killed, since they are dead, prove that they are not strong enough. If they are not strong enough, they should die."
"You are trampling on the dignity of the laws of the universe by forcibly resurrecting them from death."
"And the price for you trampling on Laws is me."
Syn Shenron raised his head and looked at the sky.
"I will destroy everything on this planet and kill all the people who should be dead. This is the right result."
Gohan's breathing became rapid.
Although from the perspective of causality, what Syn Shenron said is indeed true.
The excessive use of Dragon Balls has indeed brought negative consequences, and the birth of Evil Dragon is the most direct evidence.
However, he is Gohan!
He was the child who headbutted Raditz when he was five years old to protect his father.
He was the kid who single-handedly destroyed Golden Cell after everyone else was defeated.
Son Gohan's life is based on the creed of protecting others.
Protect the weak, kind, and those who cannot protect themselves.
"You said the weak deserve to die?"
"Then let me ask you."
"The residents of that city. Those who go to work, go to school, buy groceries, take their children to school, and the children in that school bus. They died without even seeing what you looked like."
"Is this how they deserve to die?"
Gohan's voice was trembling, and his anger caused his body temperature to continue to rise, and the silver hair on his body shone with an even stronger silver light.
"They are innocent, life is precious, and life should be respected..."
Gohan's voice became even lower.
"I absolutely will not allow you to..."
"Insult to life!"
Syn Shenron felt a vibration on the soles of his feet, and the heat was rising at an incredible speed.
Gohan Silver Form-colored fluff began to glow, and the black-red and silver lightning traveling on the body gradually became entangled, emitting bursts of buzzing.
