Dragon Ball: Starting Choice - Zeno Divine Power Chapter 36

"Fine. As long as I become a Super Saiyan, forget the remaining two wishes—even if there were a hundred wishes left, they'd all be yours." Vegeta smiled faintly.

"Then let's take the Dragon Balls and go find the Grand Elder right away!" Krillin decided without hesitation.

"Uncle Krillin!" Son Gohan did not want Vegeta to have his wish granted.

"Gohan, this is the only way. Hurry up." Krillin called out.

The three immediately took the Dragon Balls and flew swiftly toward the Grand Elder's location.

Before long, the three arrived outside the Grand Elder's residence.

Nail stepped out of the room.

"Nail, here's the situation..." Krillin explained everything.

"Nail, agree to their request and let them make their wishes." The Grand Elder let out a long sigh. "I'm afraid this is the best option for now."

"Yes, Grand Elder." Nail nodded.

"Dende, go help them make their wishes," the Grand Elder instructed. "Also, tell them that a powerful aura is approaching Planet Namek..."

"Understood, Grand Elder!" Dende replied. He walked out of the room and explained the situation.

"A powerful aura is approaching? Is it Goku?" Krillin asked in delighted surprise.

"Is Dad coming to Planet Namek?" Son Gohan was equally excited.

"No. It's an evil aura." Nail looked up at the sky.

"An evil aura? Who is it?" Vegeta was somewhat puzzled.

It couldn't be the Ginyu Force, could it?

No, definitely not.

The Ginyu Force has five people.

There's only one person now.

Forget it. Whoever it is, let them come.

"My remaining lifespan is short. Hurry and act," the Grand Elder said gravely from inside the room.

Vegeta and the others turned into several streaks of light, carrying the Dragon Balls as they flew away.

At the same time, Ginyu's spaceship landed on Planet Namek.

Ginyu quickly found Frieza and respectfully handed over the scouter with both hands.

"Vegeta really has joined up with those two Earthlings!" Frieza muttered coldly. He then glanced at Ginyu and asked, "Why did you come alone? Where are the others?"

"Something happened on the way. They suddenly disappeared..." Ginyu scratched his head.

"What did you say?" Frieza's expression changed.

"Could they have fallen into a cosmic rift? That shouldn't be possible. Our spaceships weren't that far apart..." Ginyu looked utterly confused as well.

"Could it be Indra?" Frieza's face went pale with fright.

"What Indra?" Ginyu looked at Frieza in confusion.

Ginyu knew nothing about Indra.

That was because Frieza did not want more people to know about it.

The more people who knew, the more humiliating it would be.

"Come on, let's go check on Vegeta immediately!" As soon as Frieza finished speaking, he turned into a streak of white light and shot toward Vegeta and the others.

Ginyu also soared into the sky and quickly chased after him.

However, Frieza soon left Ginyu so far behind that he vanished from sight.

In the distance, on a wide stretch of flat ground about a kilometer from the Grand Elder's residence.

"Come forth, Shenron, and grant our wishes!" Dende loudly summoned Shenron in the Namekian language.

The golden light from the seven Dragon Balls converged.

In an instant, the gathered golden light became as large as a bowl and shot into the sky.

The entire sky suddenly turned pitch-black.

"What? What's going on? The sky turned dark?" Vegeta looked up in astonishment.

The next moment, a massive, plump azure dragon appeared.

"Those who have gathered the Dragon Balls, state your wishes. I can grant any three wishes." Shenron Porunga's imposing voice rang out.

"So this is Shenron?" Vegeta looked up at the enormous green creature.

"Yes. On Planet Namek, we call him Porunga." Dende nodded.

"Good! The first wish is mine! Do you hear me?" Vegeta shouted.

"You're dreaming! You slaughtered so many Namekians—I'll never help you make your wish come true!" Dende clenched his fists and glared furiously at Vegeta.

"What did you say?" Vegeta was so enraged that his nose practically twisted out of shape.

I'm about to become a Super Saiyan. Am I really going to fail because of some brat like you?

"This is bad! A powerful energy is approaching! No—there are two!" Son Gohan said, trembling.

"It's Frieza! Frieza is coming!" Vegeta said urgently, grabbing Dende by the arm. "Brat, hurry up! Do you want Frieza to kill you?"

"This..." Dende was at a complete loss.

"Uncle Indra is here! Frieza wouldn't dare make a move!" Son Gohan said through gritted teeth.

"Where is this Indra you're talking about?" Vegeta shouted. "He's probably left already, hasn't he?"

Krillin: "..."

Vegeta, you were right. Indra really had left Namek.

"Vegeta, what's this Super Saiyan thing you mentioned?" Krillin hurriedly asked.

"There's no time to explain in detail! Only a Super Saiyan can defeat Frieza!" Vegeta shouted.

"You want to defeat Indra, don't you?" Krillin frowned.

"I promise you, once I become a Super Saiyan, I definitely won't kill any of you!" Vegeta vowed. "Of course, I won't kill Indra either."

Vegeta thought to himself.

I promised not to kill you.

But I'll make your lives worse than death.

You never saw that coming, did you?

"Dende, agree to it! Grant his wish!" Krillin quickly urged.

"Fine..." Dende nodded helplessly and made his wish in the Namekian language. "Porunga... please make this person a Super Saiyan."

"To become a Super Saiyan, one must undergo training oneself. Although I am Shenron, I have no way to directly turn a Saiyan into a Super Saiyan," Porunga replied.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta was dumbfounded.

Don't you grant any wish?

You can't even make me a Super Saiyan? Such a tiny wish, and you can't do it?

"Although I cannot directly turn you into a Super Saiyan, I can tell you how to become one. However, the path afterward requires your own training. Whether you can achieve it depends on your own fortune," Porunga said as he looked at Vegeta.

"Oh? I have to train myself?" Vegeta smiled faintly. "Just tell me. I'm listening. I'm a genius, after all."

"Then, I can tell you for free how to become a Super Saiyan. It will not count as a wish," Shenron Porunga said.

"Thank you, Porunga!" Dende quickly nodded.

"First, Super Saiyan is a transformation that requires a battle power of at least 100,000. Second, transforming into a Super Saiyan requires a peaceful heart. Third, there are generally two ways to transform into a Super Saiyan. Once the first two conditions are met, the first method is to use extreme anger as a trigger for transformation. The other is to concentrate energy in one's back. I have finished speaking. State your first wish," Shenron said, then looked at Dende again.

"Then, Shenron, the legend says Super Saiyans are the strongest warriors in the entire universe. That's true, right?" Vegeta asked again.

"The entire universe?" Porunga broke out in sweat.

Do you know how vast the entire universe is?

We're only Universe 7.

The entire universe includes Universes 1 through 12.

"Super Saiyans are not the strongest beings in the entire universe. Even I do not know what the strongest beings in the entire universe are," Porunga replied.

"What did you say? Super Saiyans aren't the strongest beings in the entire universe? How is that possible?" Vegeta's expression changed again and again.

How could this be?

Could that legend be false?

"Super Saiyan transformation increases your normal strength fiftyfold," Porunga explained.

"Fifty times!" Vegeta's pupils contracted.

Damn!

Great Ape transformation only increases strength tenfold, and it requires all sorts of conditions.

Super Saiyan transformation is fifty times one's base battle power?

With strength fifty times greater, how could I possibly fail to defeat Frieza and Indra?

Impossible!

I am...

A member of the warrior race!

The prince of the Saiyans!

I will not lose to anyone.

Vegeta took a moment to process Shenron's explanation about the Super Saiyan and said nothing more.

"What about the first wish? Who do you want to revive?" Dende looked at Son Gohan and Krillin.

"Bring Piccolo back to life. That way, Earth's Dragon Balls will be restored too," Krillin said.

"Uncle Piccolo can be revived? That's great!" Son Gohan was overjoyed.

"Please revive Piccolo on Earth," Dende wished to Porunga.

"No problem. The first wish has been granted." Red light flickered in Porunga's eyes as dragon power burst forth.

"The second wish, quickly!" Dende urged.

"The second wish? What should we do? Who should we revive?" Krillin and Son Gohan did not know what to do for a moment.

At that critical moment, Piccolo's voice reached Son Gohan's mind.

"Uncle Piccolo?" Son Gohan was both surprised and delighted.

"Gohan, for the second wish, send me to Planet Namek! I want to fight Frieza! I want to see for myself this emperor of the universe," Piccolo said.

"Yes, for the second wish, bring Uncle Piccolo to Planet Namek," Son Gohan said.

Dende nodded and immediately made the wish to Porunga.

"Very well. The second wish has been granted. The third wish," Shenron replied.

"It's granted? Where is he?" Krillin looked around.

"Oh no, we only said to send him to Planet Namek. We didn't specify the exact location, so he may have been randomly teleported somewhere." Sweat broke out on Dende's face as he hurriedly asked, "Should we bring him here?"
