Chapter 25: The Secret of the Dragon Balls

After the deafening explosion, the seawater that had been blasted into the sky came crashing back down to the earth, drenching John Doe and the others as if washing away the remnants of the battle.

Far away on King Kai's planet, King Kai was overjoyed to see Frieza obliterated by the Spirit Bomb. He couldn't contain his excitement and started dancing awkwardly with his pet, Bubbles.

The survivors on Earth were also thrilled, but John knew the story well. In his previous life, Frieza hadn't died from Goku's Spirit Bomb; it had only injured his tail.

In the end, Krillin died a tragic death, and it was only after Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan in his rage that he finally defeated Frieza.

So, as everyone was preparing to celebrate, John cautioned, "Be careful, everyone. Do you really think Frieza could die so easily from the Spirit Bomb?"

As he spoke, John carefully scanned the area with his ki, wanting to see if Frieza was truly dead and if there was any trace of his ki nearby.

Hearing John's warning, the others also became tense and used their ki to search for signs of Frieza's life force.

But after more than a minute, they couldn't detect Frieza's ki or find any trace of him.

Krillin spoke up, "John, I think Frieza is really dead. It's been a long time, and we haven't sensed his ki at all."

The others agreed, including Goku, that Frieza was truly dead.

Seeing everyone's reaction, John began to wonder if he was being overly cautious. Perhaps Frieza was indeed dead, especially since the story had changed so drastically. Moreover, Goku had gathered the Spirit Bomb on Earth, which might have been even more powerful than the one on Namek.

At that moment, Gohan, with tears in his eyes, cried out to Goku, "Dad, Uncle Piccolo is dead! He died saving me!"

Gohan's words dampened the mood of the initially joyful group.

Yes, Piccolo was dead, and with him, the God and the Dragon Balls had also disappeared. There was no way to bring the dead back to life, and everyone suddenly felt dejected and sat on the ground.

Suddenly, Krillin seemed to have an idea. "You know, since the God can create Dragon Balls, do you think the Namekians can also create them and summon Shenron?"

"Shut up, Krillin!" John knew very well that Namek had Dragon Balls, as he had been there and made a wish with them.

It wasn't that John didn't want to share this information, but Vegeta was right there, and he hadn't anticipated Krillin's intelligence in figuring this out and revealing the existence of the Dragon Balls on Namek.

"Dragon Balls?!" Vegeta immediately grasped the key point in Krillin's words. He knew that Namekians possessed various special abilities, and it was clear that this bald Earthling had just revealed that Namek had something extremely special—the Dragon Balls.

Vegeta glared at Krillin and said harshly, "Baldy, tell me, what are the Dragon Balls on Namek, and what can they do?"

Naturally, Krillin realized his slip-up and remained silent.

Vegeta was furious to see this Earthling, Krillin, dare to defy his orders. He stepped forward, intending to teach the bald man a lesson.

However, John grabbed Vegeta's outstretched hand and slowly tightened his grip, saying, "Vegeta, this is Earth, not your Planet Vegeta, nor the Frieza Force. This is not the place for your recklessness!"

With that, John grabbed Vegeta's arm and threw him aside.

Vegeta was unfazed and continued, "I just want to know what the Dragon Balls can do. If you tell me this secret, I'll leave immediately."

Everyone exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Vegeta persisted, "You can choose not to tell me, but unless you kill me, I can go to Namek and force them to reveal the secret of the Dragon Balls."

"I may not be able to beat you, but what about the Namekians?"

Goku immediately responded angrily, "Vegeta, I won't allow you to harm the Namekians."

"Fine, I won't lay a finger on them. If you tell me the secret of the Dragon Balls, I won't harm a single Namekian," Vegeta said.

Finally, after glancing at everyone, Goku slowly explained, "There are seven Dragon Balls. If you gather all seven, you can summon Shenron, who can grant any wish you desire."

At this point, Goku was still unaware that the Namekian Shenron could grant three wishes, assuming it was like the Earth's Shenron, which could only grant one.

Upon hearing this news, Vegeta was overjoyed. He burst into laughter and exclaimed, "I never imagined there could be such a wonderful thing in the universe! I'm going to Namek right now."

Goku was taken aback but then said, "Vegeta, let's go to Namek together and revive our friends who were killed by Frieza."

However, Vegeta coldly replied, "Revive them? What's the point? They were so weak; they deserved to die. I won't waste such a precious wish on them. I want to use it for something more important."

John asked at this point, "What wish do you want to make? Is it immortality?"

Vegeta nodded in agreement. "John, I thought the same. I feel we are kindred spirits. What do you say, John? Let's go to space together. With Frieza dead, his entire force is in disarray. With our strength, we can easily take over the entire Frieza Force."

John shook his head.

Vegeta's expression darkened, and he asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you refusing my invitation?"

John nodded and said, "I'm not just refusing your invitation. I'm also denying your wish. Shenron cannot grant immortality. He can slow down aging, but he cannot prevent death."

Vegeta's face fell, and he said, "But you said Shenron could grant any wish."

"Yes, but it's limited to what Shenron is capable of," John added.

Vegeta thought for a moment and then said, "Never mind. I'll go to Namek now and ask Shenron directly about the limits of the wishes he can grant."

Just as Vegeta was about to use his remote to summon his spaceship, a purple beam of light suddenly pierced through his heart from a distance, spraying blood everywhere, without anyone noticing.
