"Your wish has been granted. Farewell, Grand Elder!"
Just as Lin Chen dispersed the cloud of black energy with his ki, Shenron, Porunga, spoke with his blood-red dragon eyes wide, then vanished before them.
As daylight returned to the sky, Slug rose from the ground.
Lin Chen stood to one side, looking the Namekian once known as Slug up and down.
Though he still looked like the old Slug, his aura was indeed completely different.
Not a trace of evil remained in his aura. Instead, it was gentle and peaceful, just like the Grand Elder's had been.
Perhaps because the evil power had taken most of his strength with it, Slug's battle power had also fallen considerably, leaving him with only around five million.
"Slug... what happened to you?"
"I am now neither Slug nor the Grand Elder, but a Namekian who has forgotten even his own name..." Slug replied, looking at his body.
Hearing this, Lin Chen turned to Nail. "Nail, what exactly happened just now? How did Slug end up like this?"
Nail sighed. "To let Shenron dispel the evil within Slug, the Grand Elder assimilated with him just now. What you destroyed, Mr. Lin Chen, was the evil that had accumulated within Slug's body."
"Normally, that evil would form a new separate being. If that being were killed, the original would die as well. But the vitality the Grand Elder provided through assimilation kept Slug's original body from dying along with it."
Who would have thought the Grand Elder would go so far for Slug?
Lin Chen could not help sighing at the explanation.
At that moment, Planet Namek's Second Elder stepped forward. "Slug, although I cannot understand the Grand Elder's thinking, in accordance with his final wishes, you are now Planet Namek's new Grand Elder."
