"Demons?"
Everyone exchanged confused glances. None of them understood what those "demons" were.
But the moment Porunga heard the word "demons," fear visibly appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Gran narrowed his eyes.
"Don't tell me you can't grant this wish?"
"N-No, no, no!"
Porunga frantically shook his head.
"This wish is actually very simple."
The instant he heard that, Gran's heart tightened.
At last… was he finally about to uncover the secret behind those creatures?
"If it's simple, then hurry up and tell me everything you know about them," Gran urged impatiently.
"I can tell you, but…"
Porunga wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"I don't actually know their full origins either. I only know that they are monsters wrapped in an evil black mist."
"These monsters are incredibly powerful. Every time they appear, the order of an entire universe falls into chaos."
"And if a strong enough warrior defeats them, beneath the black mist… their true forms are nothing but skeletons."
"Judging from the shape of those bones, they resemble reptilian creatures. It feels as though they crawled out from some unknown realm… evil beings born from darkness itself…"
"Lord Gran, that is all I know."
Porunga looked apologetic.
"..."
Gran fell silent.
That western dragon had practically said nothing useful at all.
After all, Gran himself had personally fought those demons before. No wonder Porunga claimed the wish was "simple."
Gran rubbed his chin and sank into thought again.
He had already asked Whis once.
Now he had asked Shenron as well.
And yet, he still couldn't uncover the true origins of those demons.
Were they really that mysterious?
At this point, their secrecy was almost on par with the mystery of his own dimensional existence.
"Porunga," Gran said with a frown, "how exactly do those creatures enter the Omni-King's universe?"
Since he couldn't uncover their secrets directly, then he would simply trace the path they came from.
He refused to believe their mystery was truly impossible to unravel.
"I… don't know."
Porunga shook his head again.
"Useless."
Gran snorted coldly.
"If you know nothing, then hurry up and get lost."
"Y-Yes, sir!"
Porunga's entire body trembled violently.
He didn't even care whether this counted as the third wish anymore. His massive body instantly transformed into a streak of light and vanished without hesitation.
The battlefield fell silent once more.
Aside from Gran, who remained deep in thought, Bulma and the others were still puzzled over what exactly those "demons" were.
"Gran… what are these demons you mentioned?" Bulma asked cautiously.
Tights' eyelids twitched.
Lord Gran was clearly in a bad mood right now, yet her little sister still dared to ask questions.
"And how would I know?"
Gran shot back irritably.
"Didn't you hear what that lizard just said?"
Tights' mouth twitched slightly at his tone.
As expected… only Bulma could get away with speaking to Gran like this.
Bulma wisely chose not to press further.
Even though she was still curious about the demons, as long as Lord Gran was around, she felt there was nothing to worry about.
"Alright. Next, let's summon Earth's Shenron."
Gran shook his head and temporarily pushed the matter of the demons aside.
"Okay!"
Bulma happily trotted over to Earth's Dragon Balls.
Unlike Namekian Dragon Balls, she already knew Earth's summoning chant by heart and didn't need another language.
Facing the Dragon Balls, she shouted:
"Come forth, Shenron!"
Another pillar of golden light erupted into the sky.
Soon, Earth's Shenron appeared overhead.
Compared to Porunga, Shenron looked much slimmer. His body resembled a traditional Eastern dragon, though his green scales gave him a somewhat strange appearance.
And the instant Shenron appeared…
another hilarious scene unfolded.
The moment Shenron saw Gran, his reaction was exactly the same as Porunga's.
He immediately began trembling in fear while wiping sweat from his forehead with a tiny handkerchief.
"So this is Earth's Shenron?"
Tights covered her mouth in amazement.
This was her first time ever seeing Earth's dragon.
"Aunt Bulma," Gohan whispered, "why do all these dragons seem so cowardly?"
"They really are kind of timid," Bulma nodded seriously.
Shenron, who was still trembling nonstop, instantly became speechless.
The man standing before him was a Candidate God of Destruction!
Wasn't it perfectly normal to be terrified?!
At that moment, Gohan suddenly ran over and hugged Gran's leg.
"Uncle Gran…"
He looked up pitifully.
"Can you revive my big uncle too?"
Bulma also looked toward Gran, silently asking how the wish should be made.
"Revive everyone Frieza killed today," Gran said calmly.
Frieza had only arrived on Namek today.
As long as the condition "today" was added, Shenron wouldn't accidentally revive all the countless people Frieza had murdered in the past.
"Yes!"
Since Gran had spoken, there was no need to consult anyone else.
Shenron was very sensible.
His eyes flashed brightly.
Buzz!
A miraculous force surged from Shenron's body before spreading across all of Namek.
Not long afterward, every Namekian killed by Frieza returned to life.
Even Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta were revived as well.
"Vegeta!!"
Tights had been holding onto Vegeta's body the entire time.
The moment she saw him open his eyes, tears streamed down her face in relief.
"Big Uncle!"
Gohan also rushed toward the revived Raditz.
Raditz looked completely bewildered.
Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
How was he alive again?
But seeing Gohan running toward him, he instinctively crouched down and caught the child in his arms.
Nearby, bald-headed Nappa watched the scene unfold.
Seeing everyone reunited with family and friends made him feel oddly sour inside.
"Tights… what exactly happened?"
Vegeta asked about everything that occurred after his death.
"It went like this…"
Tights carefully explained everything.
After understanding the full story, Vegeta turned to look at the unconscious Goku lying nearby.
So in the end…
it was that low-class Saiyan who killed Frieza after all.
Unlike Vegeta's complicated emotions, Raditz and Nappa were overjoyed.
The two Saiyans hugged each other tightly.
At last, the mortal enemy of the Saiyan race was dead!
"Greetings, Lord Gran!"
After calming down, Raditz and Nappa hurried over and respectfully bowed before Gran.
"Mm."
Gran merely nodded expressionlessly.
"G-Greetings… Lord Gran."
Although Vegeta had already acknowledged defeat before Gran, every time he had to address him as "Lord Gran" face-to-face, he still felt unbearably awkward.
He simply couldn't get used to it.
