"It really is something important..." Sun Wukong said, then glanced at Supreme Kai and Kibito, wondering whether he should tell them about his rebirth, too.
Just as Sun Wukong was thinking this, Old Supreme Kai impatiently waved his hand and ordered Supreme Kai and Kibito, "You two go stand over there. I want to hear what this kid has to say!"
"Great Ancestor... is that really a good idea? This guy almost blew you up just now!" Supreme Kai said, looking worried.
"Do you think I'm that easy to kill?" Old Supreme Kai rolled his eyes and snorted. He waved his hand again. "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, Old Supreme Kai!"
Supreme Kai and Kibito had no choice but to bow and leave for the time being.
Only Sun Wukong and Old Supreme Kai remained.
"Kid, you'd better have something important to tell me. If you don't, just see what I do to you!" Old Supreme Kai shook a fist at Sun Wukong, accidentally pulling at his wound and grimacing in pain.
"Are you all right? Should I have Kibito heal you first?" Sun Wukong asked quickly, concerned.
"No need! Hurry up and talk, or you'll be sorry!" Old Supreme Kai snapped angrily.
At the same time, Old Supreme Kai had already made up his mind.
If this kid's news wasn't important, he'd give him a thorough beating no matter what.
You really have no respect for your elders.
Though I'm grateful you let me out...
That explosion really hurt!
"How should I put this? It wouldn't really matter if Supreme Kai knew, either..." Sun Wukong said with a smile, rubbing his head.
Old Supreme Kai: "..."
"Stop stalling! If you've got something to say, say it! If you've got to fart, let it out!" Old Supreme Kai shouted hysterically, thoroughly enraged.
"I'll tell you, Old Supreme Kai! Don't get mad!" Sun Wukong hurriedly laughed it off, his expression gradually turning serious. "Simply put, I came here from a world about thirty years in the future... My name is Sun Wukong, and a lot of things happen in the future..."
Old Supreme Kai's eyes widened. He stared at Sun Wukong in shock and disbelief.
Then Sun Wukong focused on telling him about the Evil Dragon.
As for Baby, Super 17, Majin Buu, Cell, and the others, Sun Wukong didn't think there was any need to mention them.
After all, in Sun Wukong's view, once he returned to Super Saiyan 4, those opponents would be easy enough to deal with.
The Evil Dragon was the only truly troublesome one.
After hearing Sun Wukong's account, Old Supreme Kai fell into deep contemplation and paced back and forth.
He was silent for a long while.
"So you're saying..." Old Supreme Kai suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Sun Wukong. "Using the Dragon Balls too many times creates negative energy, which then gives birth to terrifying Evil Dragons?"
"That's not something I came up with. Old Supreme Kai told me," Sun Wukong replied. "More precisely, it was the Old Supreme Kai of the future. And it really did happen."
"Would I... really say something like that in the future?" Old Supreme Kai wondered aloud, gazing up at the sky as if questioning his own existence.
"Old Supreme Kai, what do you mean?" Sun Wukong scratched his head, confused.
"At least, I certainly wouldn't say that using the Dragon Balls too many times creates negative energy." Old Supreme Kai gently shook his head.
"Huh? Really?" Sun Wukong was taken aback.
"Maybe the me of today hasn't experienced as much as the me of the future," Old Supreme Kai murmured thoughtfully.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. At least that kind of opponent won't appear in this lifetime. I'll try not to use the Dragon Balls." Sun Wukong laughed, not giving it much thought.
"So you were reborn! No wonder you were able to let me out." Old Supreme Kai nodded quietly and looked Sun Wukong over once more.
"Hahaha, I didn't know I'd suddenly show up in this era, either." Sun Wukong scratched his head.
"Perhaps your soul collided with the soul of your counterpart in this era, then replaced it," Old Supreme Kai reasoned.
"I see. That makes sense." Sun Wukong grinned. "Anyway, I'll train hard. Even if the Evil Dragon appears, I'll do my best to defeat him! I have thirty extra years to train! I think I can surpass him!"
"Good. It's good that you're thinking that way." Old Supreme Kai glanced at Sun Wukong, then grunted, "That guy you call the Evil Dragon doesn't sound like much. How much stronger is he than you are now?"
"Me now?" Sun Wukong paused, pointed at his nose with his index finger, and replied, "I'm not even one hundredth as strong as I was at my peak."
"When you pulled out the Z Sword, that was your full strength at this point in time, right?" Old Supreme Kai asked.
"More or less." Sun Wukong nodded.
"So if we multiply your full strength as you are now by a hundred, that would be your strength at your peak, right?" Old Supreme Kai quickly calculated Sun Wukong's true strength.
"Huh? Um... is that how you calculate it?" Sun Wukong didn't quite know how to respond.
Super Saiyan 4 was supposed to be at least four thousand times stronger than his normal state.
Old Supreme Kai was saying his current strength times one hundred... It just felt weird.
"What? Is there a problem?" Old Supreme Kai noticed that something seemed off with Sun Wukong.
"That doesn't seem quite right." Sun Wukong scratched his head, then pointed to his bottom. "Actually, there's something else I came to ask Old Supreme Kai for help with!"
"Go on." Old Supreme Kai nodded.
"My strongest transformation is Super Saiyan 4, but to transform into Super Saiyan 4, I need to grow a tail." Sun Wukong continued pointing to his bottom. "In the future, I was able to become Super Saiyan 4 because Old Supreme Kai helped me grow a tail. So I hope you'll help me this time, too, and get my tail back."
"How did I help you in the future?" Old Supreme Kai asked, taken aback.
"You used a pair of pliers to pull my tail out... It really hurt!" Sun Wukong shuddered at the memory of having his tail pulled out.
Old Supreme Kai: "..."
I did that in the future?
Why do I get the feeling future me was an idiot?
He used such a strange method to yank this kid's tail right out?
"By the way, how did you lose your tail?" Old Supreme Kai walked around behind Sun Wukong and examined him closely.
"It fell off, and it never grew back..." Sun Wukong scratched his head.
