Dragon Ball World
King Kai's Planet (Pre-Destruction)
"It seems my Spirit Bomb technique has served Goku well once again! The Spirit Bomb has achieved another great feat!"
King Kai was thrilled, but also slightly worried. After all, the God of Destruction had appeared on Earth, and he stood at the pinnacle of the universe!
"I hope Goku can get through this this time..."
[Screen Continues]
[Syn Shenron stared in horror at the Spirit Bomb brimming with positive energy!]
[The positive energy it contained was a tremendous restraint against him!]
[Goku fixed his gaze on Syn Shenron and shouted, "This ball... is the hope of all the people of Earth!"]
["It is also the cry of the Earth you destroyed!"]
[Syn Shenron's face twisted ferociously as he roared, "This is impossible! I clearly killed you!"]
[Goku half-opened his eyes and flashed a few smiles at Syn Shenron.]
[Goaded by the laughter, Syn Shenron was enraged. He condensed energy spheres in his hands and fired them at Goku one after another.]
[But these powerful energy spheres struck Goku to no effect. Goku didn't even flinch...]
["Damn it!"]
[Syn Shenron had no idea what was happening!]
[Goku slowly closed his eyes and silently thought, "King Kai... can you hear me?"]
[King Kai, far away on Grand Kai's Planet, responded with a smile, "I can hear you! Goku!"]
["As expected, to get rid of this guy, you still have to use the Spirit Bomb technique I taught you!"]
[But Goku said, "This isn't enough yet..."]
[Meanwhile, Syn Shenron relentlessly attacked Goku, roaring, "Get down!"]
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
[Energy spheres continuously rained down on Goku, and terrifying energy fluctuations swept through everything around him!]
["This is the only way... This still isn't enough... The life energy of Earth... I've already gathered it all..."]
[On Earth at that moment, those who had survived lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move...]
["So... This time, we must gather life energy from the entire universe..."]
["Please, King Kai!"]
["Send my voice out into the universe!"]
[King Kai wholeheartedly agreed with this plan. Syn Shenron was unlike any enemy Goku had faced before!]
["Alright! Leave this to me!"]
[The three Kaiōshin of the South, East, and West began transmitting their thoughts throughout the galaxy!]
[Goku shouted toward the sky, "Everyone in the universe! Please lend me your life energy!"]
[Goku's voice gradually faded until it reached the cosmos!]
[Countless beings across the universe who heard this voice began raising their hands...]
[These were all the various cosmic races Goku had encountered!]
[In the starry expanse, countless bright wisps of energy, like shining starlights in the darkness, continuously emerged and converged!]
[At this moment, they had only one direction: Earth!]
[Pan and the others, who were flying, were halted by this surge of energy.]
[Pan touched one of the energy wisps and instantly showed an excited expression, saying joyfully:]
["That's the energy from the Imegas!"]
["This is the energy from the villagers of Karbo, and that's from the people of Luther..."]
[Pan looked in the direction the energy was flowing, tears welling in her eyes, and said excitedly:]
["Grandpa!"]
[The energy from across the universe instantly poured into the Spirit Bomb. The already massive Spirit Bomb expanded once more!]
["Thank you, King Kai!"]
["Thank you, everyone in the universe!"]
[Lightning crackled in Syn Shenron's hand. The next moment, another ball of destructive energy condensed and was hurled at Goku!]
["Go to hell!"]
BOOM!!!!!!
[A violent explosion sent smoke billowing. As the smoke cleared... Goku's body remained unmoved!]
["You... What kind of being are you?"]
[At this moment, even Syn Shenron wore an incredulous expression. It was hard to believe such a being existed in the world!]
[The pure Spirit Bomb radiated a holy white light and descended upon Goku...]
[At this moment, Goku was like... No... He was the savior of the world!]
[The true god in the hearts of the world!]
["Syn Shenron! Take this!"]
[Syn Shenron was utterly panicked, his eyes filled with terror, his voice even seeming to stutter...]
["Wait... Wait a moment... No... Don't..."]
[HA!!!!!!]
[The Spirit Bomb fell from the sky. Syn Shenron was so frightened he broke out in a cold sweat, his legs trembling, no longer possessing his former imposing manner!]
BOOM!!!!!!
[This ultimate attack of pure goodness was undoubtedly fatal to ultimate evil. Syn Shenron couldn't even resist it!]
AAAHHHH!!!!!!
[In an instant, Syn Shenron's body contorted, began to melt, and disintegrated...]
BOOM!!!
[The Spirit Bomb carved out ravines tens of thousands of miles long along its path...]
[Shouts came from the distance...]
["Dad!"]
["Goku!"]
["Grandpa!"]
["Uncle Goku!"]
["Kakarot!!"]
[Everyone quickly found Goku and gathered around him.]
[At that moment, the seven Dragon Balls lay quietly beside Goku.]
Buzz... Buzz...
[The Dragon Balls emitted a faint light. The next moment, a beam of light shot skyward, thousands of meters long, gradually forming the figure of Shenron!]
["How could this be... We didn't summon the dragon just now!"]
[Everyone looked on in shock again, unsure what was happening.]
[Shenron's appearance this time left everyone somewhat bewildered. Most importantly, it wasn't dark!]
[However, the next second, Shenron's eyes glowed red.]
["Rise!"]
["Son Goku!"]
[Goku's body emanated a gentle, warm light. All his injuries were restored at that moment!]
["Goku!"]
[Goku opened his eyes and looked at the people around him.]
[Chi-Chi] then saw the dragon suspended in the air and exclaimed loudly:]
["Isn't this Shenron?"]
["Haven't I already defeated them all?"]
[Shenron said calmly:]
["Why did those evil dragons appear?... Do you understand?"]
[Goku nodded and replied:]
["Yes!"]
["And the underworld and this mortal realm have merged into one... The resurrection of all the dead..."]
["It must be because the Dragon Balls have become strange!"]
[Shenron then said:]
["This is because you... have relied too much on the power granted by the Dragon Balls!"]
["From now on, you people can no longer use these Dragon Balls!"]
["The Dragon Balls will completely vanish from your sight!"]
["And I too..."]
[Goku nodded and asked Shenron to resurrect the slain people one last time...]
[The previously dead Earth was restored to life once more.]
["Thank you, Shenron!"]
["That wish has been granted for you..."]
["Now, let's go... Goku..."]
[Shenron slowly lowered his head and approached Goku.]
["Ah, is the time up already?"]
[Goku felt a little regretful; he hadn't expected it to be so soon!]
["Come up! Goku!"]
[Goku turned to look at the crowd, as if wanting to imprint their figures in his mind forever.]
["Then, I'll be leaving for a while..."]
[Goku lightly leaped onto Shenron's head.]
[Vegeta hurried over, seeming to have sensed something!]
["Wait, Kakarot!"]
["Are you going to train?..."]
["Kakarot..."]
[Goku put a finger to his lips, signaling him to speak softly. He looked at Vegeta with a smile and said quietly:]
["Goodbye for now... Vegeta..."]
["Everyone! Goodbye for now!"]
[The Dragon Balls, wrapped around Shenron, flew into the clouds.]
[The shouts of Chi-Chi and the others grew fainter...]
[Bulma watched the departing Shenron and reflected on events long past, as if they had happened only yesterday.]
["Dragon Balls..."]
[The dragon soared freely through the sky, felt by all.]
[Yamcha and Tien Shinhan looked up at the sky in confusion.]
[Above the clouds, Goku patted Shenron's head.]
["Hey... Shenron... Is it okay if I want to stop by a few places now?"]
[On an island.]
[Goku arrived at Master Roshi's residence and met Master Roshi, the old turtle, and Krillin.]
["Long time no see, Krillin, Grandpa Roshi!"]
["Haha, it feels like we're back in the past again..."]
[Krillin and Goku had first come to Master Roshi to train under him.]
[After all these years, nothing seemed to have changed.]
[If anything had changed, it might only be their age....]
["Hey... Krillin... Let's spar!"]
[Krillin and Goku trained together, encouraging each other just like when they were kids....]
[Master Roshi looked at Goku then and seemed to notice something.]
[Until Goku suddenly disappeared before their eyes.]
["Goku... Thank Shenron for us..."]
[Goku's footprints remained on the beach. As the waves washed over them, the footprints disappeared, as if they had never been there.]
[Goku came to the afterlife again and met Piccolo.]
["I'm sorry, Piccolo, for all the trouble I've caused you... I will never forget it in this lifetime!"]
["Goku!"]
[Piccolo turned around, but it was empty. Goku had vanished.]
[Chi-Chi and the others watched as Shenron's tail disappeared into the sky.]
[Thinking Goku would return after a while, they all left that place.]
[Until Pan saw Goku's clothes on the ground...]
[But she had just seen Grandpa wearing those clothes...]
["How can this be..."]
["Grandpa obviously left with Shenron..."]
[Vegeta looked in the direction Goku had left and said calmly:]
["Just keep it as a memento..."]
[The dragon continued to weave through the clouds, soaring freely.]
[Goku, on Shenron's back, slowly lay down, a relieved expression on his face, and murmured:]
["Shenron's back is so warm..."]
[The Dragon Balls surrounding Goku continuously merged into his body....]
[Until the dragon vanished from the sky.]
[The screen showed Goku as a child, being lifted into the air by Grandpa Gohan... gradually fading into the distance...]
["Wherever Goku is, there is laughter..."]
["The legendary life brought about by a boy named Son Goku..."]
["Everything begins with the Dragon Balls, and everything ends with the Dragon Balls..."]
["And so concludes the story of Dragon Ball..."]
