Chapter 273 Asking the Dragon for Help
On Namek, the spaceship was shaking violently, like a lone boat about to be swallowed up by a raging storm. Inside, the lights went out instantly due to the shaking, and darkness, like thick ink, quickly engulfed the entire cabin. Bulma, her heart pounding in the darkness, groped along the cabin walls, each touch filled with tension and unease, until finally she moved towards the controls.
“I don’t know how to operate it either. It’s my first time seeing this. I’ll give it a try.” Bulma’s voice trembled slightly, sounding particularly jarring in the deathly silence of the spaceship. Her fingertips moved cautiously across the controls, her eyes straining to pierce the darkness and capture any glimmer of hope. Finally, with a few crisp clicks of the buttons, the lights inside the spaceship slowly came on. The dim, yellowish light pierced through the darkness like a sword, allowing Bulma to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bulma stood up excitedly, just as she blurted out, "Great!", when she felt something soft under her foot. She gasped in horror, staggered back a step, and turned to see Piccolo. Bulma's eyes widened, her face filled with fear and disgust: "Isn't this Piccolo Daimaou? I don't want to go on this space trip with him!"
At that moment, Gohan rushed over, his eyes full of sincerity and determination: "Yes, Aunt Bulma. But Uncle Piccolo has saved me and my dad many times, and I don't want him to be left here alone. I want him to be safe, and I want to take him back to Earth."
Bulma frowned and retorted, "But this is Piccolo's hometown. I think Piccolo would love to stay here." However, seeing Gohan's serious and stubborn expression, Bulma reluctantly gave in, "Alright, alright, I know. Let's take him with us, okay?" But in her heart, she secretly thought that Piccolo was going to die soon anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
At that moment, Namek's crust was still violently shaking, and the spaceship was slowly descending like a kite with a broken string. Bulma shouted anxiously, "We can't wait any longer! This planet could explode at any moment!" As she spoke, she frantically pressed the keys on the control panel.
Gohan, who was taking care of Piccolo, rushed over when he heard Bulma's urgent button-pressing. He grabbed Bulma's hand, his eyes pleading, "Aunt Bulma, Daddy hasn't come back yet." Bulma forced a smile and gently comforted him, "Listen, Gohan, Goku will definitely find a way to come back on his own."
Gohan wouldn't give up: "Can you wait a little longer, Aunt Bulma? Just one minute."
Bulma sighed helplessly, "Fine."
But the spaceship continued its uncontrolled, slow descent, each passing second like a countdown clock, each chime urgent.
……
Meanwhile, on Earth, in the Temple of the Gods, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed as if water could be wrung out of it. The Gods stood there silently, eyes closed, brows furrowed, silently praying, "Piccolo, please hold on. If you die, all hope will vanish."
Just then, Mr. Popo's urgent cry came from Kami's ear: "Kami, Kami, I have found the Dragon Balls!"
The god suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of hope flashing in them: "Okay, I understand, Mr. Popo. Now, let's make a wish."
Mr. Popo acted swiftly, standing before the seven Dragon Balls and chanting incantations. The seven Dragon Balls emitted a dazzling golden light, shooting straight into the sky. A gigantic golden-blue dragon slowly emerged from the light, majestically hovering above the heavens. Shenron's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the world: "Tell me your wish, and I can grant any wish, but you can only grant one."
Mr. Popo took a deep breath and said, "Please resurrect all those killed by Frieza. They are all on the distant planet Namek. I wonder if you can grant my wish and resurrect them?"
The dragon remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know either."
A hint of anxiety flashed in Mr. Bobo's eyes, but he still said firmly, "Then please give it a try. I'm begging you, you must make it happen."
……
On the battlefield of Namek, Goku and Frieza were engaged in an epic, earth-shattering final showdown. Face to face, their auras clashed, filling the air with a chilling, murderous atmosphere that seemed to distort even the surrounding space.
Suddenly, without warning, a towering pillar of magma erupted between the two, instantly illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, accompanied by crackling sounds of energy exploding within the pillar. The two, who had been intently staring at each other, were startled by this unexpected turn of events.
Frieza's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly retreated, but Goku keenly seized the opening Frieza had made. His body vanished from the spot like lightning, creating a sonic boom with his super-fast movement, and the next second he appeared behind Frieza like a ghost.
Frieza reacted with lightning speed, his body moving like a phantom. He then flashed away, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air, attempting to evade Goku's attack. The two circled each other repeatedly in the air, their speed so fast that only streaks of light and shadow could be seen. Each movement created ripples of energy, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.
Sun Wukong seized the opportunity, his body spinning rapidly in the air, his legs like a high-speed propeller, and delivered a flying kick that struck Frieza hard in the back.
Frieza groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his body propelled forward uncontrollably. But as expected of the emperor of the universe, he swiftly adjusted his posture during flight, turning and unleashing a powerful energy wave. The energy wave was bluish-purple, like a shooting star with a long tail, carrying an aura of destruction as it hurtled towards Goku.
Undeterred, Sun Wukong spread his arms and forcefully withstood the energy wave. Just as Frieza was about to catch his breath, Sun Wukong roared, his ki exploding like a raging tsunami, directly shattering the energy wave. He charged towards Frieza like a cannonball, leaving a golden trail in the air.
Frieza was terrified, his face filled with horror. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. Goku's fist, imbued with powerful ki, struck Frieza's face heavily. Frieza felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if his entire face had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of the situation, Goku grabbed Frieza's hand, spun his body rapidly, and the powerful centrifugal force made Frieza's body spin like a top at high speed, which Goku then flung violently to the ground.
With a deafening roar, Frieza was slammed into the ground, instantly creating a huge crater. Dust billowed from the crater, and the surrounding ground cracked like a spiderweb.
