A great crisis that had never been seen before was finally resolved. However, the price paid for resolving the crisis was extremely grievous.
Piccolo, Raditz, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha all died at the hands of Cooler, and even Bardock who came to support them died.
When Goku and the others returned to West City with this news, Bulma and Tights were also plunged into sadness.
“I didn’t expect even Bardock… if only Lin Chen was here…” Tights said sorrowfully.
No one expected the battle to be so fierce that even Bardock, a Super Saiyan, died.
“Anyway, it’s good that you guys came back alive,” Bulma comforted.
Upon hearing this, Gohan was the first to start crying: “Uncle Piccolo died to protect me… and Uncle Raditz and Grandpa also died.”
Gohan’s tears flowed down his face.
“It’s… it’s okay, we still have Shenron! We can just ask Shenron to resurrect them!”
Bulma’s words were met with shaking heads from the others, and Krillin said: “Shenron no longer exists. When Piccolo died, Kami died too. When Kami dies, the dragon balls will turn to stone. There are no more dragon balls in this world now.”
“W-what?” Bulma was shocked.
Shenron had always been the last hope of the people on Earth. When the Great Demon King Piccolo appeared, it was also thanks to the power of the dragon balls that Turtle Hermit and others were resurrected.
Who would have thought that this time dragon balls would actually no longer exist.
However, upon hearing this, Tights suddenly lifted her head. “Wait, there are still dragon balls in this world!”
“What?”
Everyone turned their attention to Tights.
Tights said, “Don’t you know? The old Kami was actually a Namekian, and on his home planet, Planet Namek, there is another set of dragon balls!”
“I went to Planet Namek with Lin Chen before and saw those dragon balls. They’re huge, like a basketball! I heard their divine dragon is also different from Earth’s Shenron, it can grant three wishes!”
“Really? That’s great! Uncle Piccolo and the others can be resurrected!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately erupted into cheers.
However, no one noticed the light flashing in Vegeta’s eyes as he hid in the corner.
“Planet Namek’s dragon balls!”
Vegeta turned around and quietly left the scene, unnoticed by everyone except one person.
Bulma saw Vegeta leave and stood up, following him.
The two people, one in front and one behind, walked all the way to Bulma family’s spaceship launch site, where Vegeta and Raditz’s spaceships were parked.
Vegeta opened his spaceship, turned on the computer, and quickly searched for the coordinates of Planet Namek.
His eyes lit up as he prepared to launch the spaceship, but someone suddenly blocked the hatch of the spaceship.
“Where are you going, Vegeta?” Bulma asked.
“Get out of my way!”
Vegeta waved his hand, causing the air to hum. Bulma was knocked down by the aura and fell to the ground.
“Vegeta, you’ve gone too far! You’re going to Planet Namek, aren’t you?”
Bulma stood up, put her hands on her hips, and yelled.
Vegeta snorted and ignored her. He was indeed going to Planet Namek, so he didn’t have time to waste on her.
“Vegeta! Are you trying to steal the dragon balls of Planet Namek for yourself? They are the hope for everyone to resurrect Piccolo. Don’t you want to revive Raditz and the others?”
“Didn’t your sister just say it? The dragon balls of Planet Namek can grant three wishes. I’ll use two of them to revive that Namekian and Mr. Bardock. I only need one of them to fulfill my wish!”
“If that’s the case, then why aren’t you going to Planet Namek with everyone else?” Bulma asked.
“I’m not your companion!”
Vegeta sneered and didn’t bother to talk to her any further. He promptly closed the spaceship’s hatch.
With a loud rumble, the spaceship took off, and the scorching updrafts stirred up gusts of wind, before it disappeared in the blink of an eye
Bulma watched as Vegeta’s spaceship flew away, stomping her feet in dissatisfaction and anger, “This guy! What does he mean by not being our companion? Going by himself, serves him right for not being able to use a good thing!”
Although Vegeta left early, he didn’t know that his decision to go to Planet Namek alone was an unwise one.
Planet Namek was far from Earth, and even though Vegeta’s spaceship had been modified into a single-person ship using Galactic Patrol’s technology, it would still take at least seven days to reach there.
However, Bulma had a special spaceship that could reach Planet Namek in just three days.
This spaceship is the one Lin Chen commissioned Dr. Brief to create for him when he went searching for the Super Dragon Balls in Universe 6.
At that time, after Dr. Brief completed the spaceship’s design, he built two spaceships in total.
The first spaceship was given directly to Lin Chen, while the second ship was kept for Dr. Brief’s own use for future space travel.
This spaceship not only has complete living facilities, but also has a Gravity Chamber for training, which is much better than Vegeta’s single-person spaceship.
But speaking of which, they actually have a faster way to get to Planet Namek, which is to let Tights use Instant Transmission to send them to Planet Namek.
Unfortunately, due to having just given birth, Tights’ ability to use Instant Transmission has greatly decreased. It was already extremely difficult for her to send Bardock to Earth this time, so it would be impossible for her to send multiple people to Planet Namek without at least one or two months of rest and recovery.
So after a day of rest, Goku took his son Gohan, Krillin and Bulma, who was in charge of operating the spaceship, and flew towards Planet Namek.
Originally, they wanted to bring Broly along.
After all, there are many dangers in the universe, and they don’t know what unexpected events may happen on Planet Namek.
Moreover, it is said that Broly has lived on Planet Namek for a period of time in the past.
Unfortunately, when Goku went to Lookout to look for Broly, he only saw Mr. Popo.
After the battle, Broly fell into deep self-blame because he knew he had massacred a human army during his rampage and had completely closed off his heart.
Even Mr. Popo didn’t have a chance to say a word to him.
As Goku and others as well as Vegeta subsequently headed to Planet Namek, they did not know that a fleet had already appeared in the distant skies above Planet Namek.
“King Cold! Below is the Planet Namek!”
In the disk-shaped spaceship at the center of the fleet, a massive figure walked out of the shadows with heavy footsteps.
Ginyu, who had taken over King Cold’s body, looked down at the green planet beneath him, a crazed expression crossing his face.
“Cooler! Thank you for attracting those Saiyans’ attention! When I use the dragon balls of Planet Namek to gain eternal life, I will avenge you Frost Demons! Hehehe… Hahahaha!”
