Chapter 101 The Dragon Who Owes Carrot a Huge Loan!

"Boom!"

Darkness spread out, and dense clouds suddenly enveloped the entire globe, like a harbinger of the end of the world, causing widespread panic.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed, tearing through the sky with streaks of lightning, instantly putting the already tense town on edge.

The seven golden beads seemed to resonate with each other, emitting a dazzling light as they slowly flew into the sky and merged together.

In an instant, a green oriental dragon, coiled in the clouds, came into view in the light.

As golden light flashed, an ancient and sacred roar stood in mid-air, looking down upon the crowd.

Its massive size exuded an extremely oppressive aura. The undulating dragon body startled the group, causing them to immediately draw their weapons and stand guard. But then they heard a deep, resonant voice speak, each word distinct and clear:

"Alright, those who have collected all the Dragon Balls, please state your wishes."

Suddenly, the moment the dragon's bloodshot eyes met Carrot's, the entire dragon trembled as if it had seen a ghost, and its words abruptly stopped:
"You, you, you!!!"

Upon seeing this, Carrot El silently raised his head and gave a gentlemanly bow.
"Hello, Mr. Shenlong, it's been a long time. I'm here to discuss terms again."

In the original Dragon Ball, once Shenron appears, all you need to do is make a wish to him, and he will grant your wish if it's possible, and if it's not possible, he will tell you that he can't grant it. You don't need to negotiate any extra conditions.

However, ever since Carrot El met someone named the Ancient One, things have spiraled out of control.

At least for Shenlong, what was originally just a matter of following the steps to fulfill his wish suddenly turned into a lot of strange and complicated procedures.

What is negotiating terms?

It's an extra wish you made for me, beyond your capabilities.

what?
You're saying this wish is too big, that you can't do it, that it's beyond your capabilities?
Bang! A punch landed!
This is the first step: military deterrence!

Carrot didn't know if Shenron's wish-granting ability had a limit, but he did know that he could do what Doctor Strange did and keep going until he was done with him.

The dragon may disappear, but it will surely see itself in the next second.

The instant he disappears, Carrot will gather the seven Dragon Balls again, pack them up, throw them into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, make a wish, and then!!
Just kidding, you'd nip an evil dragon in the bud!

If you just throw the Dragon Balls into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, wouldn't 100 years pass in three months?

In fact, if we disregard the appearance of the evil dragon, the two dragonmen, Carrot and El, could see each other every day!
And so the dragon's nightmare began.

The first thing it saw when it opened its eyes was Carrot.

When I open my eyes again, I still see Carrot. No matter how many hundreds or thousands of years have passed, I always see Carrot El.

Then came those same lines again: "Divine Dragon, I'm here to negotiate."

Shenlong, I'm here to negotiate.

Shenlong, I'm here to negotiate.

Shenlong: "Why the hell don't you go and negotiate with Salama?"

As Stark said, Carrot El, this sadistic psychopath, possesses an unimaginable talent for torturing people!

If you ask who Earth Dragon hates the most right now?

That Namekian who created it!!!

Damn, are there weirdos on this planet? Everyone else trains eagles, but he trains dragons!!! Everyone knows that while Shenron was created by the Namekians, it is merely a projection descended from the Dragon Realm, using fragments polished from the Great Wishing Pearl as its vessel.
So, when this condition becomes unattainable through negotiation...

Carrot El recommended a loan plan to the dragon, promising to repay the debt in installments.

As the name suggests, I make a wish first, and then you fulfill it in installments.

It's not me who will borrow the loan, it's you who will borrow it. You can borrow from any dragon in your dragon realm, whoever you want can borrow from. Once it's borrowed, I'll use it first. As for repayment, that has nothing to do with me!
Not giving it to me?
Okay, how about the Spiritual Time Chamber? Either you can see me every day, or you'll never see anyone again in your entire life.

The scariest thing is that this wish comes with interest.

Therefore, Shenron trembles whenever he sees Carrot.

Damn, is this a way to make him pay off his loan?!
"What is this?"

Batman stepped forward and asked, "This thing looks huge, but none of the people here are easy to deal with. I'm not afraid, I'm just a little curious."

The seven glittering beads that Carrot El took out of his backpack unexpectedly transformed into a towering dragon when combined.

Stark looked up at the dragon, whose whiskers were twitching and whose forehead was covered in cold sweat. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Goodness, isn't this a clinical manifestation of Carlot phobia??

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we be more curious about why it treats you this way?"

Bruce Banner, clearly lacking Stark's experience, looked at the dragon's strange appearance and thought he had fallen ill.

Diana observed it for a while and, seeing that it was not aggressive, put away her weapon: "Judging from its appearance, it should be a dragon from Eastern mythology."

"What's the use of it, El?"

Carrot El greeted the dragon and explained:
"Make a wish."

"These seven beads are not products of Earth; they all come from Namek."

Upon hearing this, everyone silently turned their gaze to Bick. Through their previous exchange, the group had become acquainted with each other.

They also learned that the person in front of them, like Carrot, came from outer space, from a planet called Namek.

"Legend has it that when the universe was first created, the dragon god Salama created seven great wish beads and sent them from the dragon realm to the real dimension."

As Carrot recounted the story, that ancient history unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"As the stars in the universe evolved, the seven large wishing beads gradually transformed into seven planets."

"They float in the vast universe and look exactly like stars. I don't think anyone could accurately distinguish them from hundreds of billions of stars, just like we can't find a needle in a haystack."

Iron Man gaped, instinctively comparing the beads with his hands. It was ridiculous; those palm-sized beads actually contained seven smaller beads, each about the size of a star.

"You mean a bead bigger than a planet??"

"I simply can't believe how old the person who created it must be???"

Carrot El nodded: "Yes, but this thing can't be used without gathering seven of them."

“A long time ago, some Namekians polished off some small fragments from the Great Wishing Bead.”

"And signed an agreement with the Shenron Realm, gaining the ability to summon Shenron and create Dragon Balls."
