Chapter 819: Chapter 819 The Old Kai, Who Is Always Late
In the GT Universe, Goku once mentioned something quite absurd: that no one could survive on the sun. To be honest, Asahi found it difficult to describe, questioning the strangeness of it all.
The power scaling in Dragon Ball has indeed developed in a very bizarre manner. When Goku made that statement, he included even the Supreme Kais.
Goku and his friends are mere mortals, and without their energy, their bodies are indeed quite weak. But what about the Supreme Kais? Even the weakest Supreme Kai, Shin, has a power level fluctuating between Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, easily reaching such a state.
Although his combat power can't compare to Goku and the others, in terms of realm, he is on a completely different plane.
With such power and realm, would he really die on the sun? Clearly, this is nonsensical. Therefore, in any Dragon Ball World, the analysis and setting of power levels completely collapse.
After defeating Baby, those controlled by him regained their senses. However, once they recovered, they exchanged bewildered glances. If it weren't for Asahi's intervention, they would have all been doomed.
In the original story, it was because Goku and the others had slipped through the net that they returned to Earth after everyone else was controlled. Otherwise, the outcome would have been the same as now. Additionally, Baby in the original work was overly arrogant, as after defeating Goku, he didn't even bother to control him.
Such arrogance ultimately led to Baby's downfall. If he had been a bit more cautious back then, he wouldn't have lost to Goku. It can be said that Baby lost because of his own recklessness.
After Baby's death, due to the Earth being severe damaged, they collected the Dragon Balls to repair the planet. However, this time, what was summoned was not a golden light but a continuous flicker of purple-black energy and mist.
The dragon that appeared was a dark giant dragon smoking a cigarette, unlike the dragon they had previously summoned for wishes. Originally, after Baby, the two scientists should have teamed up to create Super Android 17, but now, it was the birth of the Shadow Dragons instead.
"Hey, is this the Shenron? What are you all looking at..."
It was the first time for Pan to see Shenron, and the appearance of this Shenron also made her a little confused, as it seemed quite strange to her.
This Shenron was different from the images she had seen or heard about before. Naturally, the others were also puzzled at this moment.
They even began to doubt whether their method of summoning was incorrect.
H However, the dark giant dragon didn't give them much chance to speak. Instead, it transformed into seven beams of light that disappeared, scattering across the world. Once spread out, these entities became the Shadow Dragons.
"This... what exactly is going on? I've never heard of such a situation before!"
The group was perplexed. This was far too strange. Shenron, the dragon that grants wishes, had suddenly transformed and disappeared. How could this be happening.
"Asahi-san, do you know what's going on?"
Left with no choice, Goku and the others turned to Asahi, though they remained composed. After all, Asahi held a prominent position. If anyone knew what was happening, it would likely be the Old Kai or Asahi himself, as everyone else would be in the dark.
" This is the Dark Dragon, a very special existence. The Dragon Balls function like a wish machine, but with each wish granted, negative energy accumulates. Over time, this energy can manifest as living entities. "
"These are the embodiments of negative emotions. Now that this being has been summoned, it has transformed into the Seven Shadow Dragons. These Shadow Dragons are similar to Frieza in nature. Most of them aren't benevolent, and they are purely evil.
"It seems you've made too many wishes on the Dragon Balls, which is why this has happened!"
Asahi explained to the group. At that moment, the voice of the Old Kai suddenly echoed in everyone's mind. The sudden appearance of so many powerful life forms on Earth had naturally caught the Old Kai's attention.
But upon recognizing these entities, the Old Kai began to rant. He provided some information about the Dragon Balls and then started complaining. Asahi found this quite amusing, considering the Old Kai was a typical after-the-fact seer.
Why hadn't he spoken up earlier? Asahi had only recently arrived in this world. While he knew the storyline, he hadn't bothered to intervene. But the old Kai was different. As the overseer of the world, he should have been watching closely, yet he had said nothing.
During the Buu incident, the Old Kai had emerged, aware of the consequences of using the Dragon Balls, but he hadn't warned anyone to be cautious. Now that the Dragon Balls had been used, he suddenly appeared to issue stern warnings. This made him a textbook case of late wisdom.
What is going on at this juncture? Anyway, Asahi is very speechless, and this plot feels like it was added temporarily.
"In other words, if we want to retrieve the Dragon Balls, we have to defeat these guys, right?"
Goku pondered for a moment before speaking. There was no other option but to defeat these creatures. Asahi actually found the situation with the Shadow Dragons quite exasperating.
The One-Star Dragon was a typical boss-level entity, formidable and serious. The Four-Star Dragon, however, was a refreshing exception among the Shadow Dragons.
Perhaps because Goku had always been by his side, even the Four-Star Dragon didn't resort to any despicable tactics before being purified.
Among the powerful Shadow Dragons, only the One-Star, Four-Star, and Five-Star Dragons were significant threats. As for the rest, they are just somewhat odd.
Especially the Two-Star Dragon, who was easily dealt with. If not provoked, his pollution field posed no real threat, making him a relatively simple opponent among the Shadow Dragons.
The Old Kai once again warned everyone about the dangers of the Shadow Dragons. Such beings had previously emerged and caused immense destruction across the universe.
These tales, though clichéd, were effective, especially in the context of the current Shadow Dragons.
Realizing the threat posed by the Shadow Dragons, the group couldn't remain idle any longer. They planned to take action and confront these Shadow Dragons head-on.
