As the wish-granting concluded, Porunga departed. Vegeta's wishes had all been realized, and in a manner that had been comprehensively optimized.

It must be said that it wasn't until the process ended that Vegeta realized just how easily his wishes had been fulfilled.

It was as if some mysterious power had been working in the shadows to facilitate his success.

Even though Porunga was the most sentient of the Dragon Balls' dragons, logically, he shouldn't have been so accommodating.

After deep deliberation, two likely theories surfaced in Vegeta's mind.

The first was that perhaps Porunga had sensed he was no longer the original Vegeta. His arrival would drastically alter the course of this world, so this was an investment.

Of course, this possibility was slim; it was likely just Vegeta's own wild speculation, devoid of any evidence.

The second was more probable: the Grand Elder had secretly made contact with Porunga and used his own methods to help Vegeta realize these three wishes in the most perfect way possible.

It was a reward for Vegeta, and a gesture of gratitude for his willingness to continue defending the Namekian people against powerful enemies after eliminating the initial threat.

Regardless of the reason, the wishes were granted, and that was what mattered.

Dwelling on it further would be meaningless.

The wishes are fulfilled. Now, all I need to do is further my training and test the extent of the abilities I've gained. With a shift in his thoughts, Vegeta mused to himself.

For him, there were actually other wishes he wanted to make, but Porunga could only grant three at a time.

Of course, as previously noted, Porunga had already saved him several wishes by fulfilling so much at once.

Even if he wanted to make other wishes, he only needed to wait 130 days for the Dragon Ball to recharge on Planet Namek, at which point he could use them again.

As for the notion that excessive wishing would generate negative energy and give rise to a Shadow Dragon, Vegeta wasn't the least bit worried.

As long as his own strength was sufficient, what was there to fear?

Was the evolution of the Earth's Dragon Balls into Shadow Dragons in the original story truly terrifying?

No!

In terms of raw power, they were nothing special. Even Super Omega Shenron was far inferior to a God of Destruction like Beerus.

Therefore, by the time a Shadow Dragon was actually born, if he possessed strength comparable to Beerus, he wouldn't need to give it a second thought.

Returning to the Grand Elder, Vegeta conversed with him for a long while, expressing his gratitude once more.

After the pleasantries, Vegeta took his leave.

He was never one for hesitation; once the important matters were settled, he saw no reason to repeat himself.

He had merely mentioned that the Ginyu Force would arrive in three days and that he would handle them when they did.

Of course, while he said that, Vegeta actually hoped Kakarot would arrive at the same time as the Ginyu Force so that Kakarot could deal with them.

Given the Ginyu Force's level of strength, he truly had no interest in them now.

Furthermore, Vegeta wanted to see if Kakarot's strength was greater than it had been at this stage in the original timeline.

After all, he had already altered the plot. North Kai must have informed Kakarot of the situation here by now, and given Kakarot's personality, he would undoubtedly train even harder. Surpassing a power level of 100,000 should be no problem.

With the Kaioken, if Son Goku's potential was fully unleashed, he could certainly erupt with power in the millions.

That was one million! The power level of Frieza in his second form!

Stepping outside, Vegeta focused his attention on Bulma.

This caused everyone's hearts to tighten, wondering what Vegeta was planning to do next.

Krillin and Son Gohan, in particular, were so nervous they shielded Bulma with their bodies.

Bulma's heart was in her throat.

"W-what do you want with me?" Bulma stammered.

Despite her change in perspective, Vegeta's demeanor remained cold—like an iceberg, radiating an aura that made people afraid to get close.

"I need you to do something for me. You're coming with me," Vegeta stated.

"Huh?? Go with you???" Bulma's mouth fell open, and she gasped.

"What do you want Aunt Bulma to do?"

"We won't let you take Bulma away alone!"

Son Gohan and Krillin grew even more vigilant at his words.

"If I had ill intentions, do you really think you could stop me?" Vegeta couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind. After a disdainful glance, he looked back at Bulma. "I need you to help me modify a spaceship. Given your intelligence, I assume you can manage it."

"Modify... a spaceship?" Bulma asked, looking suspicious.

While she was indeed a genius, how did Vegeta know that?

Bulma didn't ask. After a moment of hesitation, she made her decision. "Fine. If that's all it is, I can try. But I don't know what you want to modify. My technological knowledge is limited, and the only spaceship I've ever had contact with is this Namekian one."

Because Bulma had agreed, Krillin and Son Gohan looked grim, but since she had consented, they couldn't stop her. They could only think to themselves that Bulma was being far too reckless.

Vegeta still ignored Krillin and Son Gohan. He nodded and continued, "Then come with me. Rest assured, I can guarantee your safety. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, no one will be able to harm you."

"You promised," Bulma said, her eyes brightening. She didn't know why, but she found herself believing Vegeta's words.

In short, she simply felt that Vegeta was not deceiving her.

Just like that, boarding Frieza's spaceship, Vegeta and his party departed from this place.

Under Vegeta's command, his subordinates flew toward the spaceship he had arrived in.

The modification of the spaceship—specifically, the modification of the one he had arrived in.

What needed to be modified, naturally, was the gravity simulation device.

Fifty times was too low; Vegeta needed a higher simulation multiplier, ideally reaching two hundred or even three hundred times or more.

Of course, that would be difficult to achieve in a short time, so having even one hundred times Earth's gravity would suffice for now.

In fact, this exclusive spaceship of Frieza's also had a gravity simulation device, but the simulation multiplier was quite similar.

Therefore, he would first let Bulma practice on the medium-sized spaceship; it wouldn't matter if she broke it.

Upon learning the specific details regarding the modifications, Bulma was very surprised.

Although she hadn't dabbled much in this area, according to the information her father had provided her, Goku's spaceship was equipped with one hundred times Earth's gravity.

So, with Vegeta now requesting this same kind of modification, Bulma immediately associated it with training.

It was just that she found it strange: with Vegeta already so powerful, why did he still need to train?
