This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 38: Yuujin’s Wish



"Ah... ah... ah..."

On the small island, Yuujin and Goku had their mouths wide open, speechless for a long time.

Red eyes, green scales, a body hundreds of meters long—seeing the dragon spiraling in the air and gazing down at them, even Yuujin, who had been prepared, couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.

This was Shenron, the legendary dragon who could grant any wish!

"Humans, are you the ones who summoned me?"

The deep, majestic voice seemed to echo throughout the entire sky as Shenron looked down at Yuujin and Goku.

"Y-yes, Shenron, it was us who summoned you."

Snapping back to reality, Yuujin quickly replied.

"Speak your wish!"

"Whatever it may be, I can grant it for you."

"But remember, you only have one chance!"

Confirming that it was indeed Yuujin and his companion who summoned him, Shenron spoke with a commanding tone.

"So amazing! So amazing!"

"Yuujin, let's make our wish quickly! Let's make our wish!"

Jumping up and down, Goku cheered excitedly.

With a pure heart, Goku didn't have any wishes of her own; she just found the whole thing fascinating and magical. No matter what Yuujin wished for, she would be happy.

Taking a deep breath, Yuujin calmed his excitement and then voiced the wish he had prepared—

"Shenron, please grant me the most perfect Saiyan bloodline!"

Yuujin's voice echoed in the air, but Shenron simply stared at him in silence. After a while, he finally responded:

"This wish, I cannot grant."

Hearing Shenron's answer, Yuujin nearly stumbled.

"Shenron, I'm only asking you to grant me a bloodline, not to give me power directly. Are you telling me you can't even do that?"

Yuujin was a little exasperated. The dragon's grand entrance and promise to fulfill any wish felt like a joke now that he was rejecting the very first request.

Could it be that he had summoned a fake Shenron?

"Human, do not doubt my power. The reason I cannot grant your wish is because you are already the most perfect Saiyan, naturally evolved as such."

Seeing that Yuujin was questioning him, Shenron's voice grew colder as he spoke.

"I am already the most perfect Saiyan?"

"But I don't have a tail, I can't transform into a Great Ape, and my combat potential is pitifully low. How could I be considered the most perfect Saiyan?"

Yuujin was stunned. Although he knew Shenron wouldn't lie, he found it hard to believe and felt like the dragon was joking with him.

"Having power does not equate to perfection."

"A Saiyan's tail is a weakness, and you have already eliminated that weakness through evolution, which is the best proof." "Moreover, have you not noticed how you differ from other Saiyans?"

"Other Saiyans are irritable and simple-minded, yet you can always remain calm, outsmarting any other Saiyan."

"You have shed the beastly instincts of the Saiyans through evolution and gained human wisdom."

Shenron's voice reverberated through the air with sound reasoning, leaving Yuujin even more shaken.

So that's how it was! That's how it was!!!

Yuujin was well aware of his differences from other Saiyans. As Shenron mentioned, he had never been quick to anger and always managed to maintain self-control and calmness. Even pure-hearted Goku would exhibit the typical Saiyan rage when provoked.

He remembered a time when he was sparring with Master Roshi, and the latter accidentally injured him. Seeing Yuujin coughing up blood and collapsing, Goku, who had been cheering on the side, flew into a rage, her eyes turning red as she charged at Roshi recklessly, shocking both Yuujin and the master.

Previously, Yuujin had assumed his composure was due to being a transmigrator, but it turned out that after being reborn, he had overcome the Saiyan's shortcomings and evolved into a perfect Saiyan!

Wisdom surpasses power, and Yuujin agreed with that.

Power without intelligence is merely brute force, often becoming a tool for others to exploit. Just like the Saiyan race of old, who worked under Frieza but were ultimately betrayed and wiped out by him!

Being a Saiyan without a tail was seen as a disability, and Yuujin had faced ridicule and scorn on Planet Vegeta for this. Even though he told himself to ignore their opinions, there was always a lingering bitterness deep down.

But at that moment, that bitterness within him dissolved completely.

Without a tail, he was not crippled; he was a naturally evolved perfect Saiyan!!!

Feeling unprecedented relief, Yuujin took a deep breath and once again looked up at Shenron—

"Shenron, can I still transform into a Super Saiyan after evolving?"

"Yes."

Hearing Shenron's reply, Yuujin finally felt at ease.

He didn't care about transforming into a Great Ape, but if removing the tail's weakness also prevented him from becoming a Super Saiyan, that would be a dealbreaker.

If that were the case, Yuujin would have Shenron change his Saiyan bloodline to something else, regardless of any claims about perfection.

Since he could still transform into a Super Saiyan, he decided to keep his perfect Saiyan bloodline; it might bring some unexpected surprises in the future.

"Human, do you have any other wishes? Speak quickly."

After answering so many of Yuujin's questions for free, Shenron seemed a bit impatient and urged him.

"Another wish, huh..."

After some thought, Yuujin made up his mind.

"Shenron, please grant Goku and me Eternal Youth and Immortality!"

Since there was no need to worry about his bloodline, Yuujin naturally wanted eternal youth and immortality.

Having crossed into this world and become a legendary Saiyan, Yuujin had countless ambitions to achieve, and a mere few decades or even a century would not be enough.

He wanted to stay youthful forever, to live eternally, to survive until the end of the universe and beyond!

Of course, Yuujin made sure to specify to Shenron that eternal youth and immortality should only take effect after their bodies had fully matured. He didn't want to stay a little boy forever, nor did he want Goku to remain a little girl for eternity.

Additionally, immortality didn't mean invincibility. Yuujin had no intention of making himself and Goku truly indestructible since even the Dragon Ball universe could be erased. There was no real invincibility.

For Saiyans, the fear of death also served as a motivation to keep evolving. Yuujin did not want to lose that drive.

More importantly, it was better to pursue strength than immortality!

(Here, Immortality means Longevity. They will have eternal life unless they get bodied like those Chinese Young Masters despite being at Half Step God states)

"Understood. I will grant you both eternal youth and immortality."

Shenron's eyes emitted a mysterious glow, and Yuujin and Goku felt warm currents surging through their bodies, as if every gene was undergoing some miraculous transformation.

"Ah, it feels so good..."

Goku couldn't help but moan with pleasure 

(T/N: "...")

While Yuujin felt an intense sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.

Eternal youth and immortality!

In that moment, he had achieved the dream that countless people throughout history had yearned for…
