"This is bad!"
Seeing his opponent vanish, Gamos felt a wave of desolation wash over him.
Dark Son Goku was indeed capable of constantly adapting his body through combat, growing stronger as a result.
However, physical injuries were tangible; if he faced an attack that far exceeded his capacity to endure, he would still be wounded.
He remembered that when he watched the anime, he had noticed that the Dark Son Goku from the future traveled to the past, fought the protagonist Son Goku, and then returned to the future to heal.
Once his wounds were healed, his strength had seen a staggering increase.
In the clash just moments ago, Gamos had transformed into his Great Ape form, using his terrifying combat power to catch his opponent off guard. At this point, Dark Son Goku was already severely wounded; even with his formidable physique, he could not withstand the violent onslaught of a Great Ape.
If he could not eliminate him now, once his wounds healed, he would likely transform into the Rose Form, which was on par with Super Saiyan Blue.
By then, unless a God of Destruction intervened personally, this world would be finished.
But would a God of Destruction help them? The answer was a resounding no. The people of this world were more irresponsible and negligent than the last; they were nothing but a bunch of black sheep.
"No, wait. If Instant Transmission is used for long-distance travel, it requires someone else's ki as a guide to teleport to their side."
"In this era, where would there be such strong ki for him to use for travel? That means it must be a short-range teleport!"
Thinking of this, Gamos's previously desolate eyes turned sharp. He suddenly sensed something amiss behind him, as if something had flickered past just a moment ago.
Gamos spun around immediately and saw Dark Son Goku looking at him with an evil grin. In his hand, he held a basketball-sized sphere of light—his Artificial Moon.
"So that's it! You only transformed after this thing appeared. That means if this thing is gone, you'll revert to your original state soon enough!"
Following a burst of maniacal laughter, Dark Son Goku crushed the energy sphere in his hand. With the Artificial Moon gone, Gamos immediately felt the power within him fading away.
"So what if I do?"
The fur on Gamos's body had already begun to recede. Seizing the moment before his power vanished entirely, Gamos charged toward his opponent at maximum speed.
"Dragon Fist!"
Gamos swung his massive fist, and a dragon head imbued with boundless, majestic momentum manifested. A giant dragon followed, letting out a heaven-shaking roar as it struck his opponent with an unstoppable force.
This time, Gamos poured every ounce of his strength into the blow. His speed reached its absolute limit, and the power of this Dragon Fist peaked.
Gamos had never felt such exhilaration; this was the Great Ape form, something his base state could never compare to.
Dark Son Goku watched the scene in terror. He had truly underestimated his opponent; he had calculated everything, yet he never accounted for the sheer speed of his enemy.
This time, he had genuinely overestimated his own strength and underestimated the power of the Great Ape form. Before he could even attempt an Instant Transmission, his chest was pierced through by the massive dragon head.
"Damnable humans, you lowly ants... don't get cocky. Soon, more powerful versions of me will descend upon this world, and you will all die."
"I thought coming here would be a simple task, but I never expected to stumble. Since that is the case, let this timeline be the beginning!"
After uttering his final words, Dark Son Goku collapsed, still filled with resentment.
At the same time, Gamos's body shrank rapidly, reverting back to a small, short-statured boy.
The only difference was that Gamos was now completely naked, as his clothes had been shredded during his transformation. He had no choice but to remain in the buff.
"Good thing there's no one around!"
No sooner had the words left his lips than Gamos felt a flash of white light, and the scenery around him shifted instantly.
Simultaneously, the Shenron on Earth finished channeling its power. After three seconds, the dragon finally spoke those long-awaited words.
"Your wish has been granted. Until we meet again!"
Shenron transformed into a beam of light and dove into the seven Dragon Balls, which then shot into the sky and scattered in seven different directions.
At the same time, a flash of light erupted at Bulma's home, and figures suddenly appeared—the bewildered Namekians.
Son Goku, his wounds just healed, also appeared there, accompanied by his son Son Gohan and their babysitter, Piccolo.
There were not many Namekians transferred over this time, as only a few remained; the others had already become corpses lying on the ground.
Just as everyone was murmuring in confusion, Son Gohan cried out in alarm.
"Dad, Father, look over there."
Son Goku and Piccolo both looked in the direction Son Gohan was pointing, and the next moment, both of their eyes widened.
"Vegeta!"
What shocked them was not just seeing Vegeta, nor was it his corpse—it was the fact that there were two Vegeta corpses.
Two identical bodies lay there quietly; one wore the armor of the Frieza Force, while the other was dressed in black.
Everyone could feel that the ki lingering on the black-clad Vegeta's corpse was incredibly powerful.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Everyone was puzzled. Just then, Piccolo noticed with horror that this black-clad Vegeta seemed slightly older. Though he didn't know exactly what was happening, he was certain there was an unbreakable connection between the two.
Then, another flash of white light occurred, and yet another corpse dressed in black appeared out of thin air.
"That... that's Son!"
Son Goku stared at his own corpse in astonishment, a strange, inexplicable ache in his heart. Was he dead?
Moreover, this black-clad corpse, much like the black-clad Vegeta from before, had died from a hole pierced through his chest.
Just then, another flash of white light flickered, and a naked little kid appeared on the spot. A tail sprouted from the child's backside—he was undoubtedly a Saiyan.
Gamos had just been congratulating himself on the lack of people around when he was suddenly, and bewilderingly, teleported into the middle of a crowd. Looking around at the group of people staring at him, Gamos felt his entire world crumbling.
"Ah!"
With a shriek, Gamos's face flushed bright red. He bolted toward the nearest house, not even bothering to open the door; he simply smashed through it with a loud bang and dove inside.
Once inside, he huddled in a corner, covering his face tightly with both hands, and entered a state of self-imposed isolation.
It's over, it's all over. I can't face anyone. Wuu wuu wuu, my youth! It's been tainted just like that.
As a genderless Namekian, he stared blankly at the house with the shattered door, unable to comprehend why the other party was acting that way.
"Old Son, is that a Saiyan?"
Son Goku's expression was grave. He never imagined that the incredibly powerful Saiyan would have followed them all the way to Earth.
Also witnessing this scene was the Guardian in the heavens—the benevolent half of King Piccolo.
At this moment, cold sweat beaded on the Guardian's forehead. He never expected that at the very last moment, Gamos would have executed Dark Son Goku, and that Dark Son Goku would have destroyed the artificial moon, which fulfilled the conditions for teleportation and brought them all to Earth at once.
"I only hope this Saiyan doesn't have any malicious intent!"
The Guardian wiped away his cold sweat; at this point, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
On the other side, Dr. Brief and his wife heard the commotion and stepped out of their house, witnessing the scene in the courtyard.
"Oh? So many aliens!"
Though his words expressed surprise, his expression remained entirely unchanged.
"Ohoho, Mr. Son is here too. Then these must be Bulma's friends!"
Mrs. Brief was completely easygoing, showing no fear at the sight of the extraterrestrials.
Bulma, who had been squeezed into a corner, finally walked out.
She had been on Namek, wondering when she would ever get home, and never expected to be back in the next second. What could be more of a pleasant surprise than that?
"Goku!"
Seeing that reassuring back, Bulma immediately waved at him and ran over.
At this moment, Son Goku's attention was still fixed on the two corpses on the ground, agonizing over how to dispose of them.
"Goku, eh? Is this... Son-kun?"
Bulma, who had trotted up, also saw the three corpses on the ground and couldn't help but gasp.
Two Vegetas and one Son Goku—the sight was truly bizarre.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on either. Somehow, another version of me and another Vegeta appeared, but they were both killed by a mysterious little guy."
Just then, a frog tried to sneak away, but was snatched up by a large hand.
Gamos, now wrapped in a bedsheet, looked at the frog in his hand with a smirk.
Gamos, who had been wallowing in his corner, had just wanted to check the situation outside, only to spot the frog attempting to escape.
The frog had two antennae on its head, which was fundamentally different from the frogs on Earth, making it stand out quite clearly.
Thinking of Captain Ginyu, who had turned into a frog in the original story, how could Gamos let him go? He snatched him up in an instant.
"Goku! Gohan!"
Upon hearing the news, Chi-Chi rushed over. As soon as she got out of the car, she threw herself into her husband's arms.
Son Goku looked at his tearful wife and felt a headache coming on; he truly didn't know how to comfort people.
All in all, this trip to Namek could be considered a successful conclusion.
Although many Namekians had died, and even the Grand Elder, who was bound to the Dragon Balls, had perished, it didn't matter. The Dragon Balls on Earth had been revived, and they only needed to wait a year to resurrect the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder still had a tiny bit of life left before he died, so after being resurrected, as long as the bond to the Dragon Balls was transferred to the next Grand Elder in time, the Dragon Balls wouldn't vanish.
Watching this happy ending, Gamos seemed to recall something, and his heart, which had just settled, immediately tightened again.
No, everything here is different from the story. Two dark beings—this has already broken the limits of the plot. What Dark Son Goku said before he died... could it be that more dark beings will come here in the future?
At the thought of this, Gamos felt his entire world go dark.
