Guardian, where are the Black Star Dragon Balls?

"Whoosh!"

The spaceship shot into the sky, instantly piercing through the atmosphere and entering the vast starry expanse.

Soon, Vegeta's spaceship vanished from sight.

Sun Wukong looked up at the disappearing vessel and took a deep breath.

Vegeta, you'd better give it your all!

Strive to become a Super Saiyan as soon as possible!

I still want to fight side-by-side with you!

Come to think of it, I really miss the immense power we had when we merged or fused.

One was called Vegito, the other Gogeta.

Huh? Was Vegito stronger, or was Gogeta more powerful?

Sun Wukong found himself lost in thought for a moment.

In Sun Wukong's memory, merging into Vegito was something he did to challenge Majin Buu.

Gogeta, on the other hand, was for challenging the Evil Dragon.

It seems hard to compare!

Never mind that for now!

I still have a lot to do.

First, I need to go to the Lookout and find a place to hide the Black Star Dragon Balls.

It's best if these Dragon Balls are never used!

Otherwise, once they are used, they will scatter across the universe, and if they aren't gathered within a year, the entire planet will be destroyed.

Next, I'll head to the Sacred World of the Kai.

At this time... the Old Supreme Kai should still be sealed inside the Z Sword, right?

I need to hurry and release the Old Supreme Kai so he can think of a way to restore my tail.

Only then will I be able to transform into a Super Saiyan 4.

Otherwise, I can't transform into a Super Saiyan 4 at all right now.

I'll ask the Old Supreme Kai about a few other things while I'm at it.

With the Old Supreme Kai's help, many, many problems can be solved.

Then, I also need to go to Namek...

Before Frieza goes to Namek, I must relocate all the Namekians.

That way, when Frieza arrives on Namek, he won't be able to kill anyone.

The Dragon Balls won't be used, either.

The Evil Dragon shouldn't be born in this lifetime.

Even if one were to be born, I must ensure my strength far exceeds his.

Actually, what Sun Wukong didn't know was that even if he kept using the Dragon Balls to grant wishes, an Evil Dragon would not be born.

Because the timeline Sun Wukong was currently in was a Super Dimension; there would be no Evil Dragons, but rather a God of Destruction, who was even more terrifying than an Evil Dragon.

After all, Sun Wukong was not a transmigrator, so he knew nothing of these things.

"Swish!"

Sun Wukong reverted to his base form and used Instant Transmission, quickly returning to the side of Piccolo and the others.

The reason he had only just reverted to his base form wasn't because Sun Wukong couldn't defeat Vegeta's Great Ape transformation in his normal state.

It was because Sun Wukong intended to spend the next period of time properly honing his Super Saiyan transformation.

After all, the strength of this body was still far from his peak self.

"Wukong! How come I saw Vegeta's spaceship flying away?" Krillin asked with a strange expression.

"Yeah, Wukong, where is Vegeta?" Yamcha followed up with the same question.

"Ah... I let him go," Sun Wukong said truthfully.

"You... you let him go?" Krillin was speechless for a moment, but then he wore an expression of acceptance and smiled, saying, "You're still the Wukong I know; you haven't changed a bit!"

In his previous life, the reason Krillin hadn't wanted to let Vegeta go was because Vegeta and Nappa had killed Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo.

But in this life, none of his companions here had died.

Therefore, Krillin didn't hold much hatred toward Vegeta.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Vegeta had been beaten by Sun Wukong until he couldn't fight back, never gaining the upper hand.

Even if Vegeta dared to come back next time, wouldn't he just be beaten by Sun Wukong again?

"Wukong, you guy, have you become this strong already while with King Kai? You must have gone through some grueling training, right?" Krillin sighed incessantly.

"Hahaha, it's alright, I suppose." Sun Wukong let out a hearty laugh and couldn't help but ruffle Krillin's head once again.

Krillin: "..."

"Why do you always touch my head?" Krillin rolled his eyes and muttered irritably.

"Your bald look is actually quite interesting. You shouldn't grow your hair out in the future either," Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly grow hair in the future?" Krillin was speechless.

"Sun Wukong! What exactly was that golden transformation of yours?" Piccolo asked through gritted teeth.

"That's called a Super Saiyan transformation!" Sun Wukong answered truthfully, then immediately changed the subject. "Let's not talk about that for now. I still have business to attend to at the Lookout! Gohan, are you coming with me, or are you going home on your own?"

"Dad... I'll go home on my own... I still want to hang out with Uncle Piccolo," Gohan mumbled.

Piccolo: "..."

You little brat, who wants to hang out with you?

"Piccolo, then I'll leave Gohan in your care!" Sun Wukong waved his hand lightly, then looked at Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu. "Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan, I'm heading off!"

"What are you saying? Wukong! Since when did you become so distant?" Yamcha waved back with a smile.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Wukong said no more and vanished from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong had used Instant Transmission to appear atop the Lookout.

"Guardian." Sun Wukong greeted him warmly, his heart filled with endless emotion.

Time really flies.

It has been a long time since I last saw the Guardian.

How many years has it been?

It feels like over 20 years.

Ever since Piccolo and the Guardian merged into one, I haven't seen him at all.

"Wukong... did you learn some special technique from King Kai that allowed you to appear so suddenly?" The Guardian's expression shifted slightly as he asked with curiosity.

"Haha... about that..." Sun Wukong didn't know how to explain it, so he simply laughed it off and left it at that.

"It's truly remarkable, Wukong. I never expected you to defeat those two Saiyans so easily," the Guardian sighed repeatedly. "To be honest, I originally thought you had no hope of winning! But letting that Saiyan named Vegeta go is certainly your style! I hope he turns over a new leaf and never returns to Earth!"

"Haha, he'll be back..." Sun Wukong scratched his head and grinned.

The Guardian: "..."

The Guardian was speechless.

Are you so certain he will return?

"Guardian, I didn't come here to talk about that." Sun Wukong's expression turned serious. "I came to see you because I have something very important to discuss."

"What is it? Speak," the Guardian nodded.

"Guardian, when you became the Guardian, you hadn't separated from Piccolo yet, right?" Sun Wukong asked.

"No, I only became the Guardian after I separated from Piccolo," the Guardian corrected. "After all, before I separated from Piccolo, I still possessed a great deal of evil power! It was only because I separated Piccolo from myself that I became qualified to be the Guardian."

Sun Wukong: "..."

That's not important...

"Guardian, what I want to say is... before you and Piccolo separated, did you also create Dragon Balls?" Sun Wukong's expression grew increasingly grave.

"Yes, I did indeed create Dragon Balls. It is a magical ability I have possessed since birth," the Guardian nodded slightly. "I watched your battle, and I heard that Saiyan named Nappa say that I seem to be a Namekian!"
