Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Old Kai Falls Into Deep Thought

"It really is something very important..." When Goku said this, he looked at Supreme Kai and Kibito, wondering whether he should also tell them about his rebirth.

Just as Goku was thinking this, Old Kai impatiently waved his hand and directly ordered Supreme Kai and Kibito: "You two go over there. I want to see what this kid has to say to me!"

"Great Ancestor... is this appropriate? This guy almost blew you up just now!" Supreme Kai looked worried.

"Am I someone who can be killed that easily?" Old Kai rolled his eyes, snorted, and waved again. "Hurry up and go!"

"Yes, Old Kai!"

Supreme Kai and Kibito had no choice but to bow and temporarily leave.

Only Goku and Old Kai remained at the scene.

"Kid, you're in big trouble. If what you have to say isn't important, see how I'll fix you!" Old Kai shook his fist at Goku, accidentally pulling at his wound and wincing in pain.

"Are you alright? Should I have Kibito treat you first?" Goku quickly asked with concern.

"No need! Hurry up and talk! Otherwise I'm not done with you!" Old Kai shouted angrily.

At the same time, Old Kai had already decided.

If what this kid says isn't important, no matter what, I'm going to give him a good beating.

You don't respect your elders at all.

Although you freed me and I'm grateful...

But blowing me up like this really hurt!

"How should I put this? Actually, even if Supreme Kai knew, it wouldn't matter..." Goku rubbed his head and smiled.

Old Kai: "..."

"Stop being long-winded! If you have something to say, say it! If you need to fart, fart!" Old Kai was quite angry and shouted hysterically.

"I'll tell you, Old Kai! Don't get angry!" Goku quickly laughed it off, and his expression gradually became serious. "Simply put, I came here from about 30 years in the future... My name is Son Goku, and many things happened in the future..."

Old Kai's eyes widened immediately, his expression shocked as he looked at Goku in astonishment.

Then Goku emphasized the matter of the Shadow Dragons.

As for Baby, Super 17, Majin Buu, Cell, and other matters, Goku felt there was no need to mention them.

After all, in Goku's view, as long as he returned to Super Saiyan 4, these opponents would be quite easy to defeat.

The only really troublesome one was the Shadow Dragons.

Hearing Goku's account, Old Kai fell into deep thought, pacing back and forth on the ground.

After a long silence.

"Are you saying..." Old Kai suddenly stopped, turned to look at Goku intently, and asked, "Using the Dragon Balls too many times will produce negative energy, which then births the terrible Shadow Dragons?"

"I didn't say it—Old Kai said it." Goku answered. "To be precise, the future Old Kai said it, and that's indeed the truth."

"The future me... would say such things?" Old Kai doubted his very existence, looking up at the sky.

"Old Kai, what do you mean by that?" Goku scratched his head, feeling confused.

"At least the current me would absolutely never say that using the Dragon Balls too many times produces negative energy." Old Kai shook his head gently.

"Huh? Really?" Goku was startled.

"Maybe the current me has experienced less than the future me." Old Kai muttered thoughtfully.

"Well then... it doesn't matter anymore. At least in this life, those guys won't appear again. I'll try my best not to use the Dragon Balls." Goku laughed heartily, not particularly concerned.

"I didn't expect you're a reborn kid! No wonder you could free me." Old Kai nodded silently and looked deeply at Goku again.

"Hahaha, I don't know why I suddenly appeared in this era either." Goku scratched his head.

"Perhaps your soul collided with your soul from this era and replaced it." Old Kai analyzed.

"I see! Now I understand." Goku grinned. "Anyway, I'll train hard. Even if the Shadow Dragons appear, I'll strive to defeat them! I have 30 extra years of training time! I think I should be able to surpass them!"

"It's good you have this mindset." Old Kai glanced at Goku and huffed. "That guy you mentioned called the Shadow Dragon doesn't seem all that impressive. How much stronger than the current you is he?"

"The current me?" Goku was slightly stunned, pointing at his own nose with his index finger and answering, "The current me isn't even 1/100th of my peak."

"When you tried to pull the Z Sword, that was your full power at this stage, right?" Old Kai asked again.

"More or less." Goku nodded in acknowledgment.

"So if you multiply your current full power by 100, that would be your peak strength, right?" Old Kai quickly calculated Goku's true power.

"Huh? Well... is that how you calculate it?" Goku couldn't quite process this.

Supposedly the Super Saiyan 4 transformation is at least over 4000 times the base state.

Old Kai saying my current strength times 100... feels weird somehow.

"What? Is there a problem?" Old Kai could tell something was off with Goku.

"It doesn't seem to be calculated like that." Goku scratched his head and pointed at his own rear. "Actually, I came to find Old Kai this time because there's another thing I want you to help me with!"

"Speak." Old Kai nodded.

"My strongest transformation is Super Saiyan 4, but to become Super Saiyan 4, I must first regrow my tail." Goku continued pointing at his rear. "In the future, it was precisely because Old Kai helped me regrow my tail that I could become Super Saiyan 4! So this time I also hope Old Kai can help me get my tail back."

"How did the future me help?" Old Kai was startled.

"You used pliers to pull my tail out... it really hurt!" Goku couldn't help but shudder when thinking about having his tail pulled out back then.

Old Kai: "..."

This is what the future me did?

Why do I feel like the future me was a bit stupid?

Using such a strange method to forcibly pull this kid's tail out?

"Speaking of which, how did you lose your tail?" Old Kai circled behind Goku to examine carefully.

"After it fell off, it never grew back..." Goku scratched his head.
