Chapter 23 Rhodes' Wish
On the grass, gazing at the seven Dragon Balls laid out together, Ella, who had come specifically from the gravity chamber, asked with bright curiosity, "You've collected them all already?"
She thought that as a legendary item, the whole collection process would be quite difficult, but she never expected that Rhodes would just take the Dragon Ball Radar out for a short trip and get the item.
"How do I make a wish?"
Standing before them, Ella looked at the seven Dragon Balls with great surprise, and asked Rhode a question as she watched the Dragon Balls shimmering with light.
Although these beads were somewhat mystical, she couldn't imagine what they had to do with the so-called dragon, or how they could grant people's wishes.
At this moment, the seven Dragon Balls placed together on the grass resonated with each other, forming a connection. They changed from being transparent and clear to shining brightly, sparking endless imagination with their flashing lights.
It wasn't just Isla who was curious about the Dragon Balls; even Dr. Brief, a top scientist, and his wife, as well as Bulma, gathered around, gazing in amazement at the radiant Dragon Balls, wanting to witness the legendary miracle with their own eyes.
The crowd surrounded the Dragon Ball, discussing it and sharing their opinions, wildly speculating about the process of summoning Shenron and fulfilling wishes.
Although there were quite a few people, it didn't affect Rhodes much. All he had to do was summon the dragon and make a wish; there was no danger involved in the whole process.
"Everyone, move back a bit, I'm about to summon Shenron!"
Seeing the crowd surrounding the Dragon Balls, Rhodes had no choice but to warn them.
After everyone had moved some distance away, he stood at a distance and watched. He took a deep breath, suppressing his slightly excited feelings, and then shouted the incantation to summon the dragon: "Come forth, dragon! Grant my wish!"
As soon as the voice fell, the celestial phenomena changed. The bright sky immediately turned dark, and then the seven Dragon Balls burst forth with dazzling golden light.
In the darkness, a golden light shot straight into the sky, growing larger and larger. Then, a long, slender figure filled the sky, constantly circling. Finally, a huge dragon head approached Rhodes below. This figure was undoubtedly the Divine Dragon.
Under the dark sky, the legendary dragon, a creature of the gods, roamed between heaven and earth, radiating a dazzling golden light, sacred and magnificent, becoming the only one in the entire world.
"Wow, it's huge!"
Upon seeing this legendary creature for the first time, the people in the distance couldn't help but gasp in amazement, filled with awe for this sacred being.
Even Rhodes, who was very familiar with dragons, was astonished when he saw this legendary creature with his own eyes. The sheer size of the creature filled his entire field of vision, and the shock was indescribable.
"Tell me your wish, whatever it may be, and I can grant it for you, but only one."
Hovering in the sky, the dragon looked down and its red eyes fell on Rhodes at the front. Its majestic and distant voice resounded in everyone's ears.
Hearing the dragon's sacred and majestic voice, a voice that spoke of absolute control over all things, Rhodes nervously uttered his wish:
"Shenlong, grant me the ability to teleport across different times and universes, including the Demon Realm, and to activate it at will!"
Forehead!
As soon as Rhodes spoke, the mysterious dragon that had been hovering in the sky suddenly froze.
"I'm sorry, this wish cannot be fulfilled."
After a long while, the same majestic and distant voice rang out, but it did not grant Rhodes's wish. Instead, an apology came.
Is that really the case?
Rhode wasn't too disappointed to hear that the dragon couldn't grant his wish.
Although he wanted to achieve his goal in one step, it was clear that the dragon's power had its limits.
"Then, Shenlong, shall we remove the different timelines?"
After thinking for a moment, Rhodes began to reduce the number of qualifiers and continued to probe.
As the voice faded, the dragon paused for a moment again, then a majestic and mechanical voice rang out: "This wish cannot be granted."
This won't work either?
When his wish failed to come true again, Rhodes frowned. If teleportation couldn't traverse the universe, what was the point of making a wish? Wouldn't it be better to just go study?
"Shenlong, grant the Saiyans and their descendants who appear on Earth now and in the future the ability to survive in harsh environments such as outer space!"
Since the idea of super teleportation cannot be realized, then we should prioritize eliminating its inherent flaws.
In the Dragon Ball world, power levels are skyrocketing, and stars can be destroyed with ease. Rhode doesn't expect his enemies to be virtuous, so he'd rather focus on developing the ability to survive in outer space first.
In this way, one can fight in outer space and also deal with enemies that cannot survive in outer space, which is a win-win situation!
"This wish cannot be fulfilled!"
The dragon's face darkened at the sight of Rhodes's wish.
Can you make a wish now so that future generations will continuously benefit from it?
Are you using this dragon scroll as a bug card?!
Upon hearing again that his wish could not be fulfilled, Rod knew he had played a little trick, but he was still a bit speechless, since the wish should have been granted.
"Rhodes, is this dragon any good?"
The dragon's repeated failures to grant wishes caused Ella, who had initially been full of anticipation for it, to approach with a disdainful look. Her gaze swept over the colossal creature before her, a strange light gleaming in her eyes:
"Speaking of which, although this guy is quite big, I don't think he's that strong. Since we can't grant any wishes, let's just catch him and eat him. Dragon meat should taste pretty good, right?"
After Ella finished speaking, a moment of silence fell over the area.
Just then, Rhodes, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "Actually, I'm quite curious about what dragon meat tastes like!"
The dragon, which was originally there to grant wishes, was now being discussed for eating its own flesh, and the enormous dragon secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
As a dragon, although its combat power is not strong, it possesses a special ability: it can clearly tell that the combat power of the two humans in front of it is far beyond its ability to fight.
"If you can make a slight modification to your wish, it can be granted."
The dragon didn't want to stay a second longer and offered its suggestions to Rhodes in a majestic yet gentle voice.
"Shenlong, you've given Ella and me the ability to survive in harsh environments like outer space!"
Even without the dragon's advice, Rhodes understood why his wish could not be fulfilled: it had confined him and Ella to the realm of desire.
As Rhodes's voice faded, the dragon's red eyes lit up instantly, and it eagerly took its leave: "Your wish has been fulfilled, goodbye!"
After saying this, the dragon immediately turned into golden light and disappeared. Its remaining power, along with the powerless dragon pearl on the ground, shot out in all directions.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
However, Rhodes was prepared. When Shenron disappeared, he set his sights on a few specific Dragon Balls.
Therefore, as soon as the Dragon Ball took off and before it could be launched, its figure flashed and appeared in several directions at an even faster speed, stopping the powerless Dragon Ball.
