Divine Dragon: This dragon can't do it!
Chapter 36 Divine Dragon: This dragon can't do it!
"Huh? Are you sure that any wish can really be granted? What if it can't?" Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Let's argue with the dragon and see if we can gain anything from it.
Of course, it doesn't matter if I don't get it.
Upon hearing such a question, the dragon immediately became displeased: "Any wish is permissible as long as it does not violate the rule established by the creator that wishes cannot be repeated."
"You seem very confident, so my wish is, grant me three more wishes!!"
Lin Chuan then loudly proclaimed his wish.
The next second, not only Shenron, but Bulma was also dumbfounded.
Both of them were filled with questions.
Is this for real?! You can make a wish like this???
What do they take him for?
As a dragon, he was omniscient and omnipotent, yet at this moment, he found himself struggling to think clearly.
He made the wish, but he was indeed unable to fulfill such an outrageous wish.
Now, recalling the boasts he had made earlier, he fell silent.
From the day he was born until today, he has never seen such a shameless person!
What about Bulma?
Seeing that Shenlong remained silent, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
If this really works, then all their previous attempts to summon the dragon and make wishes have been wasted.
Having made so many wishes over so many years, she's a genius, so how could she not have thought of this loophole?
After a long silence, the dragon sighed and replied, "I'm truly sorry, but this wish cannot be granted... I was indeed making a boast just now..."
As the answer was given, Bulma couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.
Lin Chuan had guessed it.
If that were really possible, it would be defying the heavens.
"It seems even the dragon isn't omnipotent. Can you tell me why? Of course, this reason isn't the one I'm asking for." Lin Chuan continued teasingly with a smile, "After all, since it's you who can't have your wish granted, you must give me a precise reason why it can't be granted."
Upon hearing this, the dragon's expression turned serious. He suddenly realized he seemed to have been tricked, but there was nothing he could do. He could only say, "My ability to grant one wish is based on the original rules. To turn one wish into more wishes, one must break the rules and create entirely new ones..."
"That's something I, the dragon, cannot do."
……
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon changed the subject: "Greedy human, isn't one wish enough for you?! Know that cause and effect are cyclical; excessive greed will ultimately lead you to your doom."
"Really? I was thinking that you said any wish could come true, which is why I made a wish! How come you're saying I'm greedy now?" Lin Chuan said bluntly.
Is this dragon trying to save face for itself?
Lin Chuan didn't buy into his act and wouldn't let him try to get his attention.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward, and Lin Chuan and Shenlong were locked in a stalemate.
"Hey, Lin Chuan, you'd better hurry up and make your wish. Although the dragon is omnipotent, your wish just now was really a bit outrageous."
"If we continue to waste time and anger the dragon away, then it will be a loss."
Bulma stepped in to defuse the awkward situation.
"I was just joking. Since I can't fulfill my previous wish, then grant me the ability to teleport to any planet at will," Lin Chuan said.
Upon hearing this, Bulma looked at Lin Chuan with a surprised expression.
Is this ability... even possible?
This is much more reasonable than the previous one.
Both of them awaited the dragon's reply.
After a short while, the dragon spoke again, clearly frustrated: "This ability is beyond the scope of my ability to interfere."
"Please... choose another wish."
Shenlong's answer once again surprised Bulma and left Lin Chuan speechless.
If the previous wish was a joke, then this one isn't too outrageous.
Surprisingly, Earth's dragons are so weak.
"I say, why can't it be done this time?" Bulma questioned.
"His wish has entered the realm of the gods, and I apologize that I cannot answer it."
After suffering two consecutive setbacks, Shenlong lost face and even considered running away.
He was terrified that if it happened again, he wouldn't be the omnipotent dragon anymore, and he wouldn't be able to grant any wish anymore.
"The realm of gods? So, Shenron, you actually have many wishes that can't be fulfilled?" Bulma opened up a new worldview and asked.
The dragon did not answer, because it was not a wish, so he did not need to answer.
He continued to stare at Lin Chuan, urging, "Alright, state your other wishes. If you haven't thought of any yet, then this dragon will take his leave."
He was thinking about leaving before his wish had even been fulfilled.
This shows a complete disregard for the hard work others put into finding the Dragon Balls.
Where is Lin Chuan?
His eyes were already showing dissatisfaction, but he didn't show it.
To be honest, what he wished for just now was to obtain the instantaneous teleportation ability like the Supreme Kai.
Even at its worst, it should be able to be converted into the instantaneous teleportation of the Adela aliens.
However, since Shenlong didn't mention it at all, it's safe to say that the Earth's Shenlong's abilities were indeed quite weak.
Otherwise, they would have offered more explanations instead of simply saying that it involves the realm of God and that he cannot achieve it.
If even this wish cannot be fulfilled, then what other wishes does he need to fulfill?
Make a wish to go directly to Namek?
Make a wish with Poronga, the dragon from Namek?
The idea was nipped in the bud by Lin Chuan.
Using this wish to go directly to Namek would be a huge waste.
Let's not even talk about whether the Earth Dragon can be realized.
You see, once the spaceship is repaired, he can go to Namek.
Moreover, if Bulma builds a new type of spaceship, it will only take six days to get to Namek!
Therefore, if there are other ways to achieve this, why waste this wish?
"Don't you have any wishes?" Shenlong asked repeatedly, seeing Lin Chuan remain silent.
Just as Shenlong was about to take his leave, Lin Chuan suddenly looked up and said, "My wish is to be given the ability to survive in all harsh environments, such as in outer space."
"It's fine if you can't fulfill the first two wishes, but you should be able to fulfill this one, right?"
Lin Chuan spoke with righteous indignation.
This time, the dragon gave a direct answer: "As you wish, I grant you the ability to survive in any environment, with a particular emphasis on the ability to survive in outer space."
As Shenlong spoke, a chilling light flashed in his bright red eyes.
A powerful and unique force was released centered on the dragon...
