Leaving Kame House, the sky was already turning dark.

  The st twon Balls weren't much of a challenge for Talot.

  With the Dragon Radar and his knowledge of the inal storyline, along with the added help from Son Gohan and Master Roshi, retrieving the Seven-Star Dragon Ball from Ox-King was easy.

  During this time, Talot also met Chichi.

  Chichi, who was the same age as Goku, had already started showing signs of Ox-King's powerful gehough she still looked delicate, she was far strohan an average Earthling baby.

  Without staying too long at Fire Mountain, Talot spehan half an hour retrieving the st Oar Dragon Ball from an a ruin hidden deep in the mountains.

  With that, all seven Dragon Balls were finally gathered.

  …

  At the Lookout.

  A group of people had gathered here.

  After returning to West City, Talht Gine and Sari, along with Bulma, to the Lookout.

  Rather than summoning Shenron and making a wish in some random p Earth, Talot decided to go to the Lookout a with Piccolo and Popo.

  The reason was to use Kami's e to ask Shenron a few simple questions.

  Otherwise, one question would be one wish, and he didn't want to waste the wishes on it.

  As for Kakarot's whereabouts, Talot hadn't revealed that yet, intending to tell Gine only after making their wish.

  Having waited so long, a little more time wouldn't hurt.

  The seven Dragon Balls were ly arranged in the ter of the pza in front of the temple.

  "e forth, Shenron."

  With Popo's ting of the summoning spell, the resonance of the seven Dragon Balls grew stronger.

  A golden light began to bloom from within each Dragon Ball, flickering and fshing until the light became sht that it was almost impossible to look at them directly.

  In Talot's perception, and under everyone's watchful gaze, a mysterious power seemed to activate, flowing out from within the Dragon Balls.

  Despite the Lookout's high altitude, where clouds couldn't normally form, dark clouds began to roll in from nowhere, spreading across the sky at an astonishing speed.

  In just a few dozen seds, the bck clouds covered nearly the entire p, blog out the sunlight.

  Darkness ed the sky, leaving Sari, Gine, and Bulma utterly stunned, uo believe their eyes.

  And this was only the beginning. In the moment, a golden beam of light shot out from the Dragon Balls, pierg the sky and swirling the dark clouds, creating a spectacur se.

  The dazzling golden light gradually coalesced into Shenron's body. A surging dragon power erupted as its majestic figure floated in the sky, as if a dragon god had desded.

  Its green scales, sharp cws, and blood-red eyes...the intangible pressure it radiated filled everyoh a sense of dread.

  Of course, this only affected those whose power was g.

  For Talot, the pressure was insignifit. Even Gine and Sari weren't affected much. It was just their first time witnessing Shenron's arrival, and the sight left them in awe.

  "So, this is Shenron, the dragon who grants wishes. It's hard to believe that such a creature exists in this world, and is living ihe Dragon Balls," Gine said, marveling at the sight.

  After waiting for this moment for so long, she suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if Shenron could help her solve all her problems.

  "He looks pretty intimidating. he really grant wishes?" Sari was a little skeptical. If you haven't experie, you'll always have doubts.

  Bulma, oher hand, wasn't thinking along the same lines as the others—she was already ting on her fingers, p what wish she wao make.

  Clearly, her of them khat Shenron could only grant one wish at a time.

  In fact, if Talot hadn't been a transmigrator, he wouldn't have knowher, since Kami had never mentio.

  "The one who has gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state thy wish. No matter what it is, I grant you one wish," Shenron said, delivering his cssie.

  Upon hearing this, Gine, Sari, and Bulma were all momentarily stunned.

  "Only one wish?" Gine questioned in disbelief.

  Piccolo stepped forward to expin, "The Dragon Balls I created only be used once a year, and they only grant one wish at a time. After the wish is granted, Shenron will return bato the Dragon Balls, and they will scatter across the world again..."

  Before Kami could finish, Sari interrupted, "Then why not just gather the Dragon Balls again to make another wish?"

  Piccolo, feeling a bit embarrassed, quickly expined, "It wouldn't work. Ohe wish is made, the Dragon Balls turn into stone and 't be used to summon Shenron again."

  "So, all the wishes I thought of... none of them be fulfilled?" Bulma said, feeling a bit disheartened.

  Still young, Bulma had assumed that once Shenron was summoned, all her wishes would be granted. Now that she had learhe truth, her immature mentality had trouble accepting it.

  However, despite her outwardly spoiled arong personality, Bulma wasn't truly unreasonable.

  Even at her age, she was already a good girl who cared for others.

  Uanding the situation, and knowing that Talot and Gine he wish to look for their family members, she decided to step aside.

  Especially since she sidered Talot and Gio be like family; she had worked so hard to create the Dragon Radar not only for her own satisfa but also to help them.

  "Talot, what should we do now?" Gine asked, momentarily at a loss, though she remained calm. She looked at Talot, waiting to hear what he had to say.

  As always, Talot will be the one making the call.

  "I'll figure something out," Talot reassured her with a fident look.

  He then turo Kami and asked, "Even though Shenron only grant one wish, is it possible for us to ask a few questions before making the wish? You are the creator of Earth's Dragon Balls and also Shenron, so this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

  After speaking, Talot looked up at Shenron's majesti and asked, "Is that okay?"

  Everyone fell silent at his question.

  Kami hesitated, and Shenron too remained silent for a while, deep in thought.

  Finally, Shenron's gaze swept over the group aed on Kami, waiting for his approval. After Kami Piccolo gave a nod, Shenron responded.

  "In theory, even though Kami-sama has created me, the rules do not allow this. Your question is also a wish! However, since Kami-sama has agreed and this is the first time, I make an exception."

  "Of course, it's not without cost. Your questions will e a certain amount of wish power based on my answer, which may affect whether your final wish be fulfilled. I wonder if you accept that?"

  Shenron's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

  This answer was exactly what Talot had hoped for.

  "I accept," Talot nodded.

  "Then, ask your question," Shenron replied.
