Bulma staggered back a step, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
" Son Mirai... is he dead?"
She murmured, her eyes vacant as she stared at the firework slowly fading into space.
The planet exploded so spectacularly; no wonder she was so unsettled just now.
But, thinking of Son Mirai in the past, Bulma still couldn't believe it.
"No—it's impossible, he couldn't be dead—"
Bulma burst into tears, then lunged at Son Goku, grabbed his collar, and shook him frantically.
" Son Goku! You're lying to me, aren't you?"
How could Son Mirai be dead?
"He's so strong, how could he possibly die?"
Goku lowered his head, letting Bulma shake him, and said, "I'm sorry, Bulma— "
Goku's apology was heavier than any other words.
Bulma let go of her hand, collapsed to the ground, and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah----"
" Son Mirai is dead, and can never be brought back to life. How could he die? He promised me he would come back—"
Goku asked, "By the way, Bulma, have you found the Namekian?"
Bulma shuddered, her face turning even paler. She lowered her head and said, "We've searched for a long time too. There shouldn't be Namekian still alive on this planet."
Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with despair.
Piccolo silently walked over, took out two Senzu Bean from his pocket, and handed them to Goku.
"You're all so badly injured, eat the Senzu Bean first!"
Goku took the two Senzu Bean, ate one himself, and put the other into Vegeta's mouth.
The power of the Senzu Bean quickly surged throughout his body.
Goku's injuries have fully healed, and his strength has been replenished.
Vegeta's arms grew back, his broken bones were reconnected, and his flesh and blood were regenerated.
But he didn't stand up.
He lay there on the ground, staring at the sky, at the firework that had already faded, his eyes terrifyingly empty.
Damn it!
"I—I originally intended to die together with Broly."
His fists clenched slowly, making a cracking sound.
"I finally broke through to Super Saiyan 2 at the crucial moment. I thought I could finally fight like him and Kakarot, like a warrior—"
Suddenly, his voice trembled.
"But when I faced Broly, I realized I didn't even have the right to die with him."
"Who do you think I am, the Saiyan Prince?"
"How could I be considered a genius warrior?"
He closed his eyes, and tears slid down his cheeks.
Piccolo stood aside, silently watching the scene unfold.
Vegeta, the proud and talented warrior, actually shed tears because of his weakness.
Everyone knows how much this hurt Vegeta's psyche; it was worse than killing him.
He finally faced reality: both Son Mirai and Kakarot were stronger than him.
After a long while, Piccolo said, "You guys are really having a tough time!"
I might be the last Namekian in the world.
His words made the already oppressive atmosphere even heavier.
Our home planet is extinct.
All of their people have disappeared.
He was the only surviving child of Namek.
The four of them stood there in silence.
In space, the firework had completely dissipated.
It was as if nothing had happened.
It was as if Son Mirai had never existed.
Bulma's crying gradually subsided, turning into sobs, and then into silent whimpers.
Goku lowered his head, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
Vegeta remained lying on the ground, eyes closed, saying nothing.
Piccolo stood to the side, his face full of helplessness.
a long time.
Goku said, "Since there's nothing we can do here anyway, let's—go back to Earth first."
There's no point in staying here anymore.
But no one responded to him.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in the minds of the four.
"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"
Bulma was startled and her eyes widened.
That voice was indeed Son Mirai's voice.
"I am Son Mirai."
Bulma suddenly stood up and looked around searching.
Bulma's tears welled up again, and she cried out, " Son Mirai, where are you?"
Meanwhile, Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo kept looking around.
Son Mirai's voice came again. "Don't look anymore, I'm already dead, but please don't be sad about my death."
I am currently on King Kai's Planet, and I am speaking to you with the help of King Kai.
If I can't be resurrected, I'll just cultivate in the Other World for a while.
Anyway, I know King Yemma well; he's been very kind to me, so I can get some more sparring with some of the dead guys.
Bulma covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably, and roared, "What kind of talk is that? You said you wanted to live?"
What will I do if you die?
Son Mirai said, "I'm sorry, Bulma, although I find it hard to believe."
But I think it might be because of my existence that everyone is suffering so much—"
Son Mirai pondered this carefully after his death.
What would happen if he hadn't come into this world?
He recalled the original story: even without him coming to this world, Goku alone could defeat Broly.
If I didn't exist, Namekian wouldn't have died, and Krillin could have been resurrected.
But because of his arrival, this world became a Hell instance.
However, Bulma was furious when she heard Son Mirai's words.
What kind of talk is that?
What do you mean by saying that your existence is what made everyone suffer so much?
I'm telling you, you are my husband, Bulma's husband, and I command you never to give him up—
Of course, I won't give up. I will definitely find a way to bring you back to life!
Son Mirai remained silent for a long time.
Goku remained silent, lost in thought.
Vegeta suddenly looked up and said, "Don't be so discouraged."
The universe is vast; perhaps on some planets, there are still surviving Namekian, and the Dragon Ball still exist.
Bulma's eyes also lit up.
Yes, there definitely will be!
I used to think that life only existed on Earth!
Now I realize that so many planets are inhabited, there must be other Dragon Ball in this world----"
But does it really exist?
All three of them felt powerless.
Son Mirai remained silent for a moment, then finally understood.
He said again, " Bulma, don't be sad, there are still Dragon Ball in the universe."
Bulma's expression brightened, and she looked up at the sky.
"Really? Where is it? I'll go find it!"
Son Mirai said, "Not for now, Bulma."
Those Dragon Ball are called Super Dragon Balls. They are the size of planets and span across the universe. Goku's current strength is far from enough to collect them; he'll need to wait several years before he has the power to obtain them.
Bulma was stunned when she heard that the Dragon Ball was so big.
"What?! You're kidding me! Dragon Ball the size of a planet! Even if we found it, we couldn't possibly move it!"
Goku exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Dragon Ball the size of planets?! Really?"
Son Mirai said, "Of course it's true."
Those Dragon Ball are huge, but incredibly powerful; they can even revive someone who's been dead for years.
