"Ba… Ba…"
Bardock stared at Shenron, who was sweating profusely and stammering, unable to even finish saying his name. His brow twitched as he said impatiently, "Bardock!"
At the same time, doubt churned in his mind.
Why the hell was Shenron so scared of him?
In the original story, Shenron only acted like this in front of Beerus, and that was because Beerus was a God of Destruction.
But him? Bardock was just a Saiyan—at most, the King of Saiyan Star. So why was Shenron trembling like he was about to piss himself?
"Lord Bardock, please forgive this little dragon for speaking to you from such a high place," Shenron said hastily, lowering his massive head.
After thinking for a moment, Bardock decided to ask directly. "You look terrified of me. Why?"
"I… I'm sorry," Shenron said, wiping sweat from his claw. "This little dragon cannot say."
That single action stunned Kami.
Even as Shenron's creator, Kami had never been treated with this level of respect.
This man truly was someone who had arrived on Earth alongside two supreme gods.
Yet Kami was absolutely certain—Bardock possessed no divine status whatsoever.
What made it worse was Bardock's aura. Violent. Evil.
Kami silently decided to observe. If Bardock's wish crossed a line, he would destroy himself on the spot.
One Earth… to save the universe.
Bardock, of course, had no idea what Kami was thinking.
He spoke plainly. "Grant me immortality."
"This wish cannot be granted, because—"
Bardock showed no surprise. He'd expected that. Still, he wasn't giving up.
"Then change it to Majin Buu's physique."
"I'm sorry. This wish cannot be granted. It conflicts with your Saiyan body."
"Then give me the Supreme Kai's unrestricted Instant Transmission."
"I'm sorry—"
Bardock's rage value +1.
"Then Instant Transmission from Planet Yadrat should work, right?!"
"I'm sorry—"
Bardock's rage value +10.
Kami nearly committed suicide on the spot.
For the first time in his life, he felt grateful for Shenron's limitations.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" Bardock roared. "What the hell can you do, you useless dragon?!"
Bardock felt that if his battle power wasn't capped at 390,000, he might've gone Super Saiyan purely from rage.
Shenron smiled awkwardly. "Lord Bardock, this little dragon can make you a ten-times-a-night man… a groom every night."
For a moment, Bardock thought his brain might burst from sheer anger.
This trash dragon wanted to weaken his battle power at night?
And as for being a groom every night—what did it take him for? Some cheap stallion transmigrator?
He took a long breath, forcibly calming himself.
"Fine," Bardock said coldly. "Package all martial arts knowledge of Universe 7, upload it to Saiyan Star's main computer, and then send me back to Saiyan Star."
"I know that's two wishes," he continued, white ki erupting around him, "but if you can't do it—don't blame me."
Kami's eyes narrowed slightly.
This was Bardock's final ultimatum.
Kami was also secretly shocked. How does he know Shenron can overdraft wishes? I never told anyone…
When Kami created Shenron, he feared Earth might someday face a crisis that required more than one wish.
So he secretly installed a failsafe—allowing two wishes at once, at the cost of a longer cooldown.
Only Kami himself could authorize it.
When Shenron's gaze flicked toward him in silent inquiry, Kami gave a nearly imperceptible nod.
Shenron immediately straightened and said respectfully, "Lord Bardock, this little dragon can grant this wish."
Bardock waved his hand impatiently and stood there with the sack over his shoulder.
Ten minutes later, Shenron's eyes glowed red.
"Lord Bardock, all mortal martial arts knowledge of Universe 7 has been compiled and transmitted. Preparing transmission to Saiyan Star."
Bardock's body began to fade.
Before disappearing completely, he looked up and muttered, "Useless dragon. I'm never using you again."
Bardock reappeared inside the throne room of Saiyan Star.
Everything was quiet.
He tossed the sack aside, sat down heavily on the throne, picked up the communicator, and contacted Paragus.
"Paragus. Come to the throne room."
Paragus, who was inside a medical pod, received the order and didn't hesitate for a second.
He opened the pod, ignored the scientists' frantic warnings, threw on his battle suit, and flew straight to the palace.
The King was back.
The backbone of the Saiyan race had returned.
The moment Bardock saw Paragus's injuries, his brows knit together.
Surprise—then fury.
Three years without incident.
He leaves for just a few days—and Saiyan Star explodes?
He nearly had his home stolen.
"How did you get these injuries?" Bardock asked quietly, barely restraining his anger.
Paragus saluted. "Reporting to Your Majesty… this is what happened."
According to Paragus, the injuries came from a sneak attack by Reg.
Not long after Bardock left, Reg and little Vegeta came to the palace after school, asking to see him.
Paragus told them, "The King has left Saiyan Star on official business. You can tell me anything."
The brothers explained that the team sent to search for Tarble had returned empty-handed. They wanted to question Old King Vegeta directly.
But they were told, "No one may see Old King Vegeta without the King's authorization."
So they came to the palace.
Since Bardock had given no specific orders, Paragus eventually relented and took them to the prison.
He let them enter alone.
Half an hour later, the brothers came out with grim expressions.
Paragus didn't think much of it. He escorted them back to the palace and even served them the feast that Beerus had once disdained.
After years of hardship, they ate heartily.
Then—without warning—Reg attacked.
With their battle power nearly equal, Paragus was badly injured. After a brief exchange, he was taken hostage.
The brothers freed Old King Vegeta and escaped Saiyan Star using three single-person spherical spaceships.
Bardock's expression turned ice-cold.
"These ungrateful bastards," he snarled. "They dared pull this shit while I was gone."
Paragus lowered his head. "Your Majesty, this is my fault. I was negligent."
Bardock waved his hand. "Enough. The spaceships are tracked—they won't get far."
He reached into the sack at his feet, took out a Senzu Bean, and tossed it to Paragus.
"Eat this. We're not done yet."
