"Now! Immediately! Right away! To Earth!"
While cursing profusely, Frieza jumped straight out of the small flying chair he always used.
He strode towards the spaceship outside the castle.
'Damn it damn it damn it!'
Knowing that a method for eternal youth and longevity truly existed should have been a joyous thing.
But not only had someone else gotten there first, what disgusted him even more was that the one who succeeded was a Saiyan wild monkey!
Dodoria, dragging his bulky body, jogged to catch up with Frieza and reported:
"Frieza-sama, that green-haired monkey is calling for you in the group."
"Hmm?"
Frieza's eyelid twitched as he opened the chat group.
He immediately saw a video sent by Lott.
In the video, Lott was bare-chested, revealing perfect muscles like an ancient Greek sculpture.
His right hand supported his chin, and he turned, pointing his left hand at the camera.
[Frieza, you bastard, you're watching me, aren't you?!]
Joseph, Jotaro, and the others who were silently lurking had question marks all over their faces.
'That scene looked so familiar!'
Frieza, whose mood had already hit rock bottom, instantly lost his composure and roared:
"Damn green-haired monkey!"
The enraged Frieza instantly turned into a keyboard warrior, lashing out through the screen:
[Don't get cocky, you dead monkey! Once I obtain eternal life, I'll kill you first!]
The expressions of the people in the Universe Chat Room varied, but most showed some degree of curiosity.
After all, it was the first time Lott had actively provoked someone in the group.
'Frieza... who was he again?'
Lott sat leisurely in the conference room, replying nonchalantly:
[You're probably rushing to Earth in a panic right now, aren't you? I advise you not to bother. After the Dragon Balls grant a wish, you have to wait five years before they can be used again.]
"Huh?"
Goku, who had just helped Lott make the wish and watched the seven Dragon Balls fly away, blinked in confusion upon seeing Lott's reply.
This honest man was about to remind Lott if he remembered wrong, wasn't the cooldown for the Dragon Balls only one year?
But before he could speak, he received a private message from Bulma: [YOU SHUT UP!!!]
Goku scratched his head, puzzled.
But since Bulma said so, he didn't say anything more.
"Wha-!?"
Frieza's expression changed dramatically.
'F-Five years?'
'It actually takes that long?'
"Frieza-sama, five years is indeed a bit long. Should we wait?"
Zarbon requested instructions.
Frieza raised a hand and bit his nail.
'Damn green-haired monkey, using up the once-every-five-years opportunity.'
"No, it's fine."
After brief consideration, Frieza decided:
"Even if we have to wait five years, the fact that the Dragon Balls are on Earth remains unchanged. Send people to occupy it first. Then, when the Dragon Balls are usable five years later, I can use them immediately."
Frieza showed an 'as expected of me' smug expression.
Dodoria and Zarbon, who had just returned, quickly bowed their heads and offered flattery:
"The Lord is wise!"
…
On the other side, Bulma created a new group, adding all their companions and Lott.
[Bulma: As expected of you, Lott! To actually use this trick to fool everyone in the group. This way, those coveting the Dragon Balls won't come bother us endlessly.]
As the sole intellectual pillar of the Dragon Ball Team, Bulma instantly guessed Lott's reason for doing this.
It was to buy time for Earth.
Otherwise, freaks like Frieza who coveted the Dragon Balls' power would come swarming from across the universe and overcrowd Earth.
[Lott: Don't celebrate too early. Although Frieza probably won't come to Earth personally for a while, he'll most likely send his subordinates. They aren't opponents you can handle either.]
[Krillin, curious: Are they very strong?]
[Lott thought for a moment and replied: If your combat power, Krillin, is 200, then a small team leader under Frieza probably starts at around 10,000.]
[ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!]
Bulma nearly cried in front of the screen:
[You have to think of something! We helped you get eternal life!]
[Don't panic, don't panic. I'll draw that guy's attention over here. But during this time, you shouldn't neglect your training either.]
Lott thought it was a good thing he didn't tell them about Frieza's base combat power of 530,000.
Otherwise, wouldn't Bulma and the others be so scared they'd flee to other planets?
But Goku would probably be overjoyed.
After defeating Piccolo and becoming Earth's strongest, he had been somewhat aimless for a while.
Now, knowing there were so many experts in the universe, he was likely already can't wait to start training.
In the meeting room, Genos put down the camera.
"Um... Lott..."
At that moment, the Prime Minister Fujiwara spoke up, addressing Lott, who had put his clothes back on:
"Although I'd like to congratulate you on obtaining eternal life, this moon problem..."
The Dragon Balls granting eternal youth and longevity had shocked the entire universe.
For ordinary people like them with no special abilities, it was even more astounding.
But the most pressing issue now was still the missing moon.
"Right away."
Lott responded and @-ed another group member who usually had little presence.
[Lott: @Namekian Grand Elder, Grand Elder-san, can I borrow your planet's Dragon Balls?]
Everyone in the group, and Frieza, who was thinking about which subordinate to send to occupy Earth, stared intently at the screen.
'N-No way! The Dragon Balls aren't limited to just one planet?!'
On Namek, the Grand Elder fell into dilemma upon seeing Lott's message.
If it were someone with a kind-hearted nature like Son Goku, he might be willing to help.
But Lott... didn't seem like a good person at all.
However, the next sentence Lott sent left the Grand Elder utterly stunned.
[Lott: Grand Elder, you wouldn't want Namek to be destroyed, would you?]
