Dragon Ball, Saiyans Don't Just Want to Get Stronger!

"Not bad, the Dragon Ball have actually been gathered ahead of schedule? And arranged so neatly... could it be that you were waiting here specifically for us?"

Nail was instantly struck with shock!

With his combat power, he hadn't sensed anyone approaching at all! Furthermore, he hadn't felt a single shred of ki in the vicinity!

Almost instinctively, he spun around, his muscles tensing as his ki surged to its limit. He assumed a combat stance, eyes scanning the source of the voice with intense vigilance.

Not far before him, two figures had appeared silently, as if from thin air.

Standing in front was a young-looking man with black hair, dressed in a standard black combat suit. His features were handsome, and his sharp eyes held a hint of curiosity and playfulness as he sized up both Nail and the Dragon Ball on the ground.

Behind him stood a tall, thin man with blue-green skin, holding a Scepter. A gentle smile, as if he saw through everything, graced his face, and his aura felt even more unfathomable.

The arrivals were none other than the Apprentice God of Destruction of Universe 7, Vitelli, and the Angel, Whis.

Seeing Nail's tense posture, Vitelli grinned and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm not a bad guy."

If he hadn't smiled, it might have been better; that smile only made the already wary Nail even more guarded.

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down Nail's forehead. Under the pressure of the situation, Nail actually braced himself to strike at the two of them.

Seeing this, Whis couldn't resist stirring the pot.

"Vitelli-san, this Namekian gentleman seems to want to spar with you. Aren't you going to make a move to show some respect?"

Watching this scene, Vitelli shot a disgruntled glare at Whis, signaling for him to stop talking—couldn't he see how incredibly tense the person opposite them was?

Vitelli looked at Nail, who was so nervous he was practically trembling. After shooting a glare at Whis, who was still smiling and fanning the flames, he waved his hand at Nail with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, we aren't bad... pfft!"

He nearly blurted out a villainous line, so he quickly coughed to correct himself.

"We aren't bad guys. Coming to Namek was just a coincidence. I believe your Grand Elder should have already informed you of our arrival, right?"

Looking at the seven Dragon Ball already prepared on the ground, and combining that with the "being sensed" that Whis had mentioned earlier, Vitelli didn't even need to think—it had to be the Grand Elder on Namek, with his extraordinary abilities, who had foreseen and arranged everything.

Upon hearing Vitelli's words, the look of vigilance on Nail's face softened slightly.

He hesitated for a moment before completely dropping his combat stance.

As he walked toward the two and prepared to speak, Nail suddenly froze, as if he had received some information, standing stiffly in place for several seconds.

Then, the expression on his face rapidly shifted to one of reverence, and he bowed deeply to Vitelli.

"Greetings, Lord God of Destruction! I am Nail, the warrior who guards the Grand Elder of Namek."

Vitelli knew immediately that the Grand Elder must have been using telepathy to explain the situation to him from afar.

He nodded and said in a calm tone, "No need for such formalities; I am merely an Apprentice God of Destruction. I encountered some difficulties while dealing with a massive star on the verge of collapse and accidentally discovered that my location was quite close to your Namek, so I came specifically to borrow the Dragon Ball."

He patted Nail on the shoulder and said gently, "This matter... it's actually me causing you trouble."

Nail maintained his respectful posture and quickly replied, "No, it is an honor for all of us Namekians to be able to assist Lord God of Destruction."

Whis, standing to the side, was observing the seven large, glowing orange Dragon Ball on the ground with great interest. Hearing Vitelli say he wanted to borrow them, he couldn't help but interject.

His face wore his signature smile—seemingly gentle, but actually relishing the chaos:

"Ara ara~ Vitelli-san, using the wishing orbs to exercise the authority of a God of Destruction is considered cheating, you know. If Lord Grand Zeno or the Grand Priest were to find out, you would certainly face some punishment~"

Vitelli shook his head and explained, "Don't worry, I won't use the Dragon Ball to do the work of a God of Destruction directly; that would be a waste. I just need them to help me solve a technical problem."

He turned to Nail and said, "Nail, please summon the Eternal Dragon."

"Yes, Lord Vitelli."

Nail responded respectfully.

He stood up, walked over to the Dragon Ball, spread his arms toward them, and began to chant the incantation to summon the Eternal Dragon in the peculiar Namekian language.

"Come forth, Porunga! And grant my wish!!!"

As the rhythmic chanting echoed, a strange phenomenon occurred!

The sky of Namek, which usually had three suns and never experienced true darkness, suddenly plunged into shadow.

Dark clouds gathered out of thin air and spread rapidly!

The light dimmed sharply, and within a few breaths, the area for several kilometers around was plunged from broad daylight into the darkness of deep night.

This rare spectacle caused many Namekians in the distance to step out of their homes, looking curiously at the sky that had been suddenly shrouded in night.

BOOM—!!!

A thunderous, heart-shaking roar accompanied a pillar of golden light that surged violently from the seven Dragon Ball, piercing straight into the cloud-covered sky!

Within the light, a massive, muscular, and entirely green figure rapidly took shape—

Porunga, the Eternal Dragon of Namek, hovered in the sky. His massive body cast a gargantuan shadow, and his red eyes scanned the three tiny figures on the ground like searchlights as he spoke in a deep, solemn voice:

"Speak! State your wishes! No matter what they are, I can grant you three!"

Vitelli looked up at Porunga, whose presence was far more imposing than the Eternal Dragon of Earth. Hearing the dragon's bold claim that he could grant "any wish," he couldn't help but chuckle with a hint of irony:

"Oh? Is that so? Then, my first wish is: grant me the ability to use Instant Transmission to travel anywhere in the universe, just like Kibito, the attendant to the Supreme Kai."

He spoke with a probing tone, wanting to see just where the limits of the Namekian Dragon Balls lay; after all, the Earth's Eternal Dragon would often claim that an opponent was "too strong" for him to handle, even when dealing with a mere Saiyan.

Nail glanced at Vitelli. Though he found the request somewhat strange, he still relayed it to Porunga in the Namekian language, word for word.

Porunga fell silent for a moment, his massive red eyes flickering as if he were evaluating the feasibility of the wish.

Just as Vitelli began to think the dragon would beg him to choose something else—much like the Earth's dragon—and was preparing to state his backup plan, Porunga actually spoke.

His voice remained steady:

"Your wish is of a high order, and I cannot grant it in its entirety. However... you may now use Instant Transmission throughout the universe without restriction, provided you can sense the precise ki at your destination or possess its coordinate information."

"No way?! I was just joking, you actually did it?!"

Vitelli was genuinely stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief.

He instinctively raised his hand, pressing his fingers to his forehead to focus his spirit.

In an instant, his perception seemed to pierce through an invisible barrier, stretching infinitely into the depths of the cosmos.

As long as he knew the specific coordinates, he felt he could travel anywhere in this universe at will! He just wasn't sure if the same applied to other universes.

Without coordinates, he could still rely on sensing "ki" to perform Instant Transmission, just as he had before.

"This... this is truly an unexpected windfall!"

Vitelli lowered his hand, pleasantly surprised.

Compared to this Namekian version, the Dragon Balls on Earth were absolutely pathetic!

The Namekian Dragon Balls had completely crushed the Earth's, and Namek had just earned the MVP!

"I'll have to ask Bulma for a detailed star map when I get back..."

He immediately recalled the spaceship he had flown back from Planet Soph; it should contain a fairly complete set of interstellar coordinates.

After briefly testing this new and convenient ability, Vitelli suppressed his excitement and continued to speak to Nail:

"Please ask Porunga to grant the second wish: teleport the Supreme Kai of Universe 7, 'Shin,' to Namek. If a direct teleportation isn't possible..."

He paused, realizing that the Supreme Kai was a deity after all, and forced teleportation might not be realistic.

"Then have him notify the Supreme Kai that the Apprentice God of Destruction, Vitelli, has an urgent matter to discuss and requests his immediate presence on Namek."

Nail hesitated slightly, but followed Vitelli's instructions and relayed the second wish to Porunga.

Whis watched the scene from the side with a smile, a flicker of gratification in his purple eyes.

He was pleased to see Vitelli taking the initiative to seek out and engage with the Supreme Kai.

After all, the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai were meant to be partners who complemented each other to maintain the balance of the universe. However, Beerus had almost completely severed ties with the Supreme Kai Realm after the incident with the Old Supreme Kai, which was not a good thing for Universe 7.

Now that Vitelli was willing to take the initiative to mend this relationship and even seek cooperation, it was a massive bonus for improving the overall evaluation of Universe 7!

"It seems the ranking of Universe 7 might finally have a chance to improve~ Ho ho ho."

Whis thought to himself with delight, his gaze toward Vitelli growing even more satisfied.

After Nail relayed the wish, Porunga fell silent once again.

His massive red eyes flickered slightly, as if he were communicating with the Supreme Kai across the vast reaches of space.

Just as Vitelli had expected, teleporting a deity was no simple task; it was more likely that Porunga was acting as a "messenger."

After a long while, Porunga's eyes flashed red, and his grand voice resonated once more:

"Your wish has been granted. The message has been delivered."

Almost the moment Porunga's voice faded—

Whoosh!

Two figures appeared without warning on the open ground not far from Nail.

The arrivals were none other than Shin, the Supreme Kai of Universe 7, and his attendant, Kibito.

The two were clearly caught off guard by the sudden notification. The moment they appeared on Namek, they stood back-to-back, assuming a defensive stance and scanning their surroundings with vigilance.

Shin's gaze swept across the scene, immediately noticing the extraordinary aura of Whis, who held his Scepter, before shifting to Nail and Vitelli standing nearby.

He sensed the unfathomable yet sacred fluctuations emanating from Whis, and combined with the bizarre summoning and the current environment, he grew wary.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he walked cautiously toward Whis with Kibito, asking in a stern tone:

"It is you, isn't it? The one who called us to this planet and claims to be a God of Destruction?"

"..."

Vitelli looked stunned. He pointed at himself, then looked at Whis, who had been mistaken for him, his expression turning incredibly colorful.

Whis couldn't help but laugh, raising a hand to cover his mouth as he chuckled:

"Ho ho ho~ Supreme Kai, I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else. I am merely a humble attendant serving the God of Destruction."

He turned gracefully to the side, pointing his Scepter toward Vitelli, who stood nearby with a speechless expression, and introduced him with a beaming smile:

"The true God of Destruction you two are looking for is this one right here."

The scene immediately fell into a subtle, awkward silence.

Supreme Kai Shin followed the direction Whis pointed and looked at Vitelli, a flash of astonishment and disbelief crossing his face.

It seemed difficult for him to associate the title of "God of Destruction" with the young-looking man in ordinary combat gear standing before him.

His naturally red skin flushed with a faint, imperceptible blush, clearly embarrassed by his mistake.

Watching Supreme Kai Shin look somewhat flushed yet forcing himself to remain composed, Vitelli let out a helpless, soft cough and stepped forward, maintaining a polite and smiling demeanor as he said:

"Ahem, nice to meet you, Supreme Kai Shin. I am the Apprentice God of Destruction of Universe 7, Vitelli."

Shin scrutinized Vitelli, his eyes narrowing slightly, his internal vigilance not waning in the slightest:

"Universe 7? God of Destruction? Who exactly are you? I have been a Supreme Kai for many years and have never heard of any deity in the universe called a 'God of Destruction'!"

His tone was filled with suspicion.

Suddenly, it seemed as if Shin had thought of something truly terrifying.

His expression changed drastically, and he took several sharp steps back, widening the distance between himself and Vitelli.

His voice rose sharply, filled with wariness and hostility as he said:

"Wait! You... could you be a subordinate of that evil wizard Babidi?! Did that guy set a trap, intentionally using this unheard-of title to lure me here?! Kibito! Prepare for battle!"

Kibito, standing to the side, responded immediately, instantly erupting with energy and assuming a combat stance, locking his gaze onto Vitelli with predatory intensity.

Watching the two of them act as if they were facing a formidable enemy, convinced that he was the villain, Vitelli couldn't help but raise a hand to his forehead.

He heaved a deep sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.
