The Few Were Greatly Shocked

"Mr. Popo, what do we do? What are we supposed to do?"

Popo lost his simple, honest look and turned solemn.

"Guardian of Earth, our only option now is to have Shenron grant a wish."

The Guardian of Earth collapsed to his knees in agony.

"Popo, you know Shenron's power can't possibly exceed mine. I can't beat Sack, so Shenron can't destroy Sack."

The Guardian of Earth's voice was filled with sheer panic.

"Popo, it's no use. If it were some other miracle, something relying on the weak rules controlled by a god, Shenron might be able to do it. But destroying a powerful enemy is something that can only be done by Earth's martial artists.

But the strongest martial artist on Earth right now is Master Roshi. He has no way to destroy Shenron."

Popo's eyes were deep as he explained quickly.

"Lord Guardian of Earth, have Korin leave the tower and inform Master Roshi to prepare to use the Evil Containment Wave."

Popo's voice was steady, and the panicked Guardian of Earth gradually calmed down. His eyes lit up.

"Right, right! The Evil Containment Wave. We still have the Evil Containment Wave to try. He's like he's fallen into demonic madness right now, his whole aura is unbearably evil. It will definitely work."

Popo did not answer directly.

"Lord Guardian of Earth, Son Goku is searching for the last Dragon Ball. Once he finds it, we'll have him make a wish to Shenron."

The Guardian of Earth froze, his face full of confusion.

"Mr. Popo, Shenron can't deal with him, Sack."

When he said the name, the Guardian of Earth was clearly gnashing his teeth.

"No. There's no need to deal with him. We only need to give him time.

Lord Guardian of Earth, if Sack can regain control of himself and break free from this demonic state, he'll definitely return to his peak.

When that time comes, as his lifesavers, he probably won't do anything to Earth, will he?"

Popo's words gave the Guardian of Earth hope, and he sprang up from the ground.

"Right, right. With Shenron and the divine rules I control, perhaps it really can work. In that case, Sack will definitely be grateful to Earth. He might even become Earth's new protector.

Mr. Popo, there's no time to lose. Go contact Korin right now and have him handle it. Son Goku and the others aren't familiar with us. They may not be willing to agree."

Popo nodded. With his hands clasped behind his back, a magic carpet flew out from the side and stopped in front of him. Popo leaped onto it and sat down steadily.

Popo was very strong, and he soon contacted Korin. The two rushed along like wind and lightning, finding Son Goku's group just as they were facing off against Fortuneteller Baba.

"Lord Popo?"

"No rush. Wait until they finish fighting."

Korin was so anxious he nearly jumped out of his fur.

How could there be no rush? Earth was about to be pierced through, and these people were still so irresponsibly idle.

It was worth mentioning that on their way over, the two had also snatched the final Dragon Ball from Pilaf's hands.

Now, in truth, all seven Dragon Balls had already gathered here.

After Son Goku reluctantly said goodbye to his grandpa, Fortuneteller Baba began using her divination to calculate the whereabouts of the last Dragon Ball.

"How strange. Why is there nothing at all?"

Fortuneteller Baba was sweating buckets. She raised a finger, trembling as she pointed at the sky.

"No, the Dragon Ball, the Dragon Ball is right there."

Bulma couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and gave Fortuneteller Baba a sharp knock on the head.

"What nonsense. Do you think we're three-year-olds? Don't tell me you're a fraud?"

Fortuneteller Baba had roamed Earth for hundreds of years, and the thing she hated most was someone saying her divination was inaccurate. She immediately blew up.

"Bullshit! There's definitely nothing wrong with my divination. If I say the Dragon Ball is there, then it's there."

Son Goku called the Flying Nimbus and flew into the sky. He flew higher and higher, searched around, then came back down.

"That's weird. There was nothing there, only dark clouds and lightning. It even struck me a bunch of times. It hurt like crazy."

Popo knew the time was right. He released the concealment technique, and he and Korin revealed themselves.

Everyone else was still confused, but Master Roshi and Son Goku looked delighted.

"Korin."

Fortuneteller Baba was different. After shuddering all over, she stared, dumbfounded, at the slightly taller, pitch-black Popo beside Korin.

Her voice carried a sob.

"No way. Why would a god come looking?"

Korin was burning with anxiety. Seeing that things were clear, he hurriedly flew down.

"Master Roshi, Goku, long time no see."

"Hey, Korin. Long time no see."

Master Roshi's expression turned nostalgic as he looked at Korin in surprise.

Son Goku, however, looked confused.

"Didn't we just see him not long ago?"

Black lines seemed to cover Korin's head; he felt as if countless crows were flying past his forehead.

That earth-shaking uproar caused by Sack was something Son Goku's current strength simply could not sense.

In fact, aside from the humans near that deserted island and that portion of hidden deities, no one on Earth knew their lives had been hanging by a thread.

As for the occasional earthquakes, they only thought of them as natural phenomena and were not worried.

"It's a long story."

Bulma had always been impatient, and she immediately showed no courtesy at all.

"Then make a long story short."

Korin nearly failed to catch his breath and almost fainted on the spot.

He rolled his eyes and ignored Bulma.

"Goku, the Dragon Balls have an important use this time. You can't use them."

"Why not?" Bulma glared at Korin, seething with anger.

"Exactly. Who are you? Don't think that just because you know Master Roshi, we won't dare hit you."

Yamcha waved his fist in a vicious show of force.

They had gone through untold hardships to gather the Dragon Balls; they had not done it just to give them up.

Krillin kept quiet cautiously.

He had always been slippery. Seeing that Master Mutian carried a faint respect toward Korin, and that Son Goku clearly knew Korin, he forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He had only come along to broaden his horizons; there was no need to run his mouth.

Korin had no choice but to briefly explain the whole story.

"So, these earthquakes happening every now and then are because someone's gone berserk?"

After listening, Yamcha looked utterly shocked. At the same time, his eyes fixed hard on Korin, making no attempt to hide the suspicion in his heart.

"To be precise, that is a demon, not a person."

"The two people you talked about, the ones with tails like me?"

"That's right. It's him. One person made a mistake while training and has now fallen into madness. We need to make a wish to Shenron and have him recover."

The diviner Popo saw Popo sitting high in the clouds with no intention of coming down, and could not help moving closer to ask.

"Then for this matter, couldn't you just have the Guardian of Earth suppress him? Shenron was made by the Guardian of Earth. If Shenron can do it, the Guardian of Earth should be able to do it too, right?"

"Yeah, yeah! Upa's dad is still waiting for Goku to use the Dragon Balls to bring him back to life.

First come, first served, understand?"

Korin looked at Bulma, this fierce little girl, with a headache.

"Then do you want the whole Earth to be destroyed?"

Bulma staggered back several steps and shook her head wildly.

"No, no! I haven't had a kiss yet, haven't gotten married yet, haven't had a little baby yet! I don't want to die!"

Son Goku looked at the dark clouds in the sky, belatedly realizing.

"Korin, you mean the earthquakes are global earthquakes, and the dark clouds are also because of Sack's aura that the sky has become like this—and it's global too?"

Korin nodded firmly.

"That's right. And the other half of the sky has already had the sun and moon reversed. Time is very tight. The Guardian of Earth cannot make a move."

Everyone was deeply shocked.

Could there really be someone that strong?

He had stirred up weather across the entire world and even caused a deity to descend to the mortal realm.

And what had Son Goku said?

That person had a tail too.

The few people familiar with Son Goku all thought of one possibility, and could not help shivering.
