Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 197 The Grand Elder is Dead

Polenga's powerful voice rang out again: "This wish lies between reality and fantasy; my abilities are insufficient to fulfill it."

Hearing Polenga's words, Shang Yun felt as if all his strength had been drained away. His shoulders slumped instantly, and he lowered his head helplessly, muttering to himself, "Just like the dragon of Earth said, we still can't go back..."

Dandy urged impatiently, "Now there's one more wish, tell me quickly."

However, Krillin and Gohan seemed not to hear Dende's words. Their faces turned pale, and they turned around in horror to look at Vegeta who was behind them. They instinctively panicked and retreated.

"Vegeta, you...you...how did you get here?" Krillin asked, his voice trembling and stammering.

Veins bulged on Vegeta's forehead, making him look like an enraged beast. His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared through gritted teeth, "I already know what's going on! You lot dared to summon Shenron behind my back! Don't you know that the only way to defeat Frieza is for me to wish for immortality? Why don't you understand? Damn it!"

Enraged, Vegeta instantly conjured blinding energy waves in his hands, his body churning with energy, ready to launch a fierce attack on them.

Seeing this, Son Gohan was extremely anxious and hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, Vegeta! Actually, we only made two wishes. We can give you the last one!"

Upon hearing this, Krillin quickly stopped him: "Why are you telling him this, Gohan!"

Upon hearing Gohan's words, Vegeta's fierce glint subsided slightly. He slowly withdrew the energy wave he had gathered, a smug smile playing on his lips. He chuckled and said, "Hearing that makes me feel much better."

……

Frieza was rushing towards them when he spotted the dragon Porunga standing between heaven and earth. He looked surprised and exclaimed, "Oh? What's that?"

At the same time, the combat power detector in front of them emitted a rapid "beep beep" sound. Frieza's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Those life forms are also there. Could it be that they have already made their wishes?" Thinking of this, Frieza was furious, his killing intent surging, and like a burning meteor, he angrily flew towards the direction where everyone was.

……

Borunga's grand and steady voice rang out again, asking, "What is your third wish?"

Vegeta was frantic and shouted impatiently at Dende, "Quick! Quickly grant me immortality! Quickly!"

However, at this moment, Dandy was trembling uncontrollably due to extreme fear, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Seeing this, Vegeta's eyes widened in anger. He strode towards Dende, lifted him high in the air, and roared, "I told you to make a wish, didn't you hear me?"

Krillin quickly shouted to stop him: "Vegeta, no!"

Vegeta simply turned his head and glared fiercely at Krillin, completely ignoring him, before turning to roar furiously at Dende.

Klin looked anxious and muttered to himself, "But if this wish really comes true, that would be terrible."

Son Gohan frowned and said helplessly, "But this is the only way now. Dad is seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet."

……

Piccolo, now on Namek, slowly surveyed his surroundings, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Gazing at this familiar yet strange environment, he murmured to himself, "Is this... my home planet Namek?" A strange, indescribable feeling welled up within him, and he closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

"No, now is not the time for me to be sentimental. The most important thing is to find Gohan and the others." Piccolo quickly snapped back to reality and pondered to himself. After saying that, he immediately calmed down and began to search for Gohan and the others' ki.

“Gohan and the others’ ki? Strange, why isn’t it here?” Piccolo frowned, his mind filled with doubt.

Suddenly, Piccolo seemed to catch something, his expression hardening. He sensed a powerful aura to his left. Piccolo looked in that direction, confirming again, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, there's an evil and powerful aura there. Could that person be Frieza? Besides him, there are... um, there are four other auras there. It should be Gohan and the others." As soon as he finished speaking, Piccolo's aura surged, instantly unleashing his full power, and he flew towards the direction from which the aura came like a bolt of lightning.

……

Polenga's voice was somewhat urgent: "Hurry up and say your third wish, there's not much time left."

Vegeta's eyes were practically spitting fire as he gritted his teeth and stared intently at Dende, as if he wanted to devour him alive: "Hurry up and talk! Hurry up and give me immortality, or do you want to be killed by Frieza?"

Dandy, filled with inner turmoil, cried out in a tearful voice, "Klin!"

Klin clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face trembling slightly from the inner turmoil he was going through.

Just then, Goku's anxious voice came: "Uncle Krillin, Frieza is almost here!"

Krillin steeled his resolve, no longer hesitating, and roared with all his might, "Dande, grant Vegeta's wish!"

Hearing Krillin's words, even the usually arrogant Vegeta was surprised and turned around to look at Krillin.

Klin shouted again, "Although I am very unwilling, given the current situation, this is the only way to make this wish and give us a glimmer of hope!"

Upon hearing Klin's words, Dandy quickly replied, "Okay, I understand."

Vegeta's face showed a hint of satisfaction. He put Dende down and urged, "Very good, tell me now."

Dandy plopped down on the ground, quickly got up, and dusted himself off.

Seeing that Dende was moving slowly, Vegeta roared impatiently, "What are you dawdling for?!"

Dandy was startled by the shout and quickly turned around, saying in a flustered manner, "Oh, okay, I know."

Vegeta trembled slightly with excitement, his mind racing: If this wish could be fulfilled, Frieza would never be able to kill me. That way, no matter how many battles I fought, no matter how many injuries I suffered, I could always rise again. One day, I would definitely defeat Frieza completely and make him pay a terrible price for what he had done. Imagining Frieza bowing and begging for mercy before him, Vegeta couldn't help but chuckle.

Dandy quickly faced the dragon and shouted, "Boom Bala..." But before he could finish speaking, a blinding light suddenly erupted from the dragon's body. Everyone was startled and stared in disbelief at this unexpected turn of events.

A flash of intense light disappeared in an instant, and the dragon vanished without a trace. The seven dragon balls, which had been floating in the air, instantly turned into dull gray stones and crashed heavily to the ground with a series of thuds. The enormous impact caused the entire island to tremble violently, and even Shang Yun, who was lost in thought, was awakened by the commotion.

Shang Yun looked bewildered and asked in a panic, "W-what happened? How did the dragon disappear?"

Vegeta, equally puzzled, anxiously asked, "Why did Shenron disappear? Why is the sky bright again? Why have all the Dragon Balls turned to stone? Did my wish come true? I didn't feel any changes at all!"

At that moment, Dandy burst into tears. He slowly lowered his head, his legs went weak, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

Klin seemed to sense Dandy's profound sorrow and cried out anxiously, "Dandy!"

Dandy sobbed uncontrollably, saying with endless grief, "Because...because the Grand Elder is already...dead."
