Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1679 Vegeta Chases Goku
"Damn it, why won't it work?!"

Vegeta growled through gritted teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

His usually haughty chin trembled slightly, and his eyes burned with resentment.

As a Saiyan prince, he had never felt so powerless—the legend of the Super Saiyan was so close, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

Dende completely ignored Vegeta's presence and instead spoke to Porunga in clear and fluent Namekian: "Porunga, please revive Mr. Gohan!"

"This wish is very simple."

Bolun's booming voice echoed in the air, and his red eyes gleamed with a mysterious light.

Suddenly, Gohan, who had been lifeless in Goku's arms, began to cough violently, and his pale cheeks gradually regained color.

Having been dead for some time, his throat was unbearably dry, and the process of resurrection was clearly not comfortable.

"Father?"

Son Gohan swallowed with difficulty and opened his eyes in confusion.

His last memory was of the terrifying moment when Frieza's tail strangled his neck; the feeling of suffocation and the excruciating pain of his broken cervical vertebrae were still vividly imprinted in his mind.

He could hardly believe that he had been given a new lease on life.

"Gohan, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Sun Wukong hugged his son tightly, his voice choked with emotion, "It was the Namekians who revived you with the Dragon Balls!"

"resurrection?"

Son Gohan repeated the word in shock; in his mind, death was an irreversible end.

But now, he could truly feel his heartbeat and breathing; it was a miracle within a miracle.

Dandy looked at Sun Wukong and his son gratefully: "There are two more wishes, Mr. Sun Wukong. What wishes do you have?"

The Namekians will never forget what this father and son did for them—not only standing up against Frieza's army, but even paying the price with their lives.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, revealing his signature憨厚 smile: "I don't think I need any more wishes. Gohan being resurrected is the best reward."

He thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ah! Then let all those killed by Frieza and his men be resurrected!"

Dandy's eyes widened in surprise: "Mr. Sun Wukong, you are indeed an amazing person. But Porunga's power is limited; each of its wishes can only affect one person."

At this point, Dandy's tone was filled with deep apology and admiration.

"That's it..."

Sun Wukong sighed in disappointment, but quickly regained his optimistic expression.

The realization that nothing in the world is perfect made him cherish this reunion even more.

Just then, Vegeta couldn't wait to interject: "Since Kakarot doesn't have the wish he wants, then let me become a Super Saiyan!"

His voice was filled with an almost irrepressible longing; this dream had tormented him for far too long.

Dandy calmly shook his head: "You're Frieza's henchman, I won't grant your wish."

"Damn it!"

Vegeta was almost furious, but he quickly suppressed his anger.

Piccolo and Piccolo had fully recovered under the Namekian's treatment and were now staring at him menacingly.

Vegeta knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning against these two Namekian warriors who had become much stronger.

Piccolo, hearing that he hadn't used up his wish chances yet, immediately stepped forward: "May we make a wish?"

His voice held a rare urgency.

Dandy nodded: "What wishes do you want to have?" The Namekians were equally grateful to Piccolo and Piccolo, as these two warriors had made a great contribution to protecting Namek.

"Make me stronger!"

Piccolo said without hesitation.

Dandy immediately conveyed this wish to Porunga in Namek.

Borunga's eyes lit up again, and a mysterious energy enveloped Piccolo.

Suddenly, Piccolo felt an unprecedented surge of power within him, and every cell in his body seemed to be rejoicing.

This power was so great that it gave him the illusion that he could defeat any opponent—although he knew it was just an illusion caused by the surge in power.

"There's another wish, Mr. Piccolo, do you also want to become stronger?"

Dandy turned to another Namekian warrior.

Bick crossed his arms and nodded steadily: "Mm."

Having witnessed firsthand the astonishing power displayed by Goku and his son, Piccolo knew he was already far behind.

As a proud warrior, he would never refuse an opportunity to become stronger.

His ideas were in line with Piccolo's.

The Saiyans' growth rate is too terrifying; he absolutely cannot fall behind, especially not behind Goku!

Borunga also explored the potential of Bik.

Piccolo felt power surging through his body, a feeling that was both strange and familiar.

He clenched his fists, eager to challenge Sun Wukong to a duel and test his newly acquired power.

"Damn it! Bastard! Utterly absurd! What a waste! A colossal waste!"

Vegeta watched helplessly as the two Namekians gained tremendous power boosts one after another, and he was so jealous that he was almost driven mad.

In his eyes, these wishes were a complete waste of resources!
If he were to become a Super Saiyan, even just by gaining these powers, he could easily surpass Goku and become the strongest in the universe!

But now, he can only be an insignificant bystander, completely ignored, and even his life and death are entirely in the hands of others.

This feeling of powerlessness and humiliation almost drove him insane.

At this time, Vegeta had not yet experienced the profound life-and-death transformation described in the original work. He still stubbornly placed all his hopes on vague legends. In the eyes of true strongmen, his words and actions were indeed no different from those of a clown.

But now he has little influence and no one cares about his thoughts.

The Namekians were already showing him the greatest mercy by not killing him.

His pride and arrogance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

Goku once again sincerely expressed his gratitude to Elder Dende and all the Namekians, thanking them for their help and the Dragon Balls for reviving Gohan.

The Namekians bowed to Goku and his son to express their gratitude for everything they had done for Namek.

With the matter settled, Goku and Gohan prepared to return to Earth.

Luther appeared and opened a portal for them.

Vegeta watched Goku about to leave, and after a fierce internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

The secret of the Super Saiyan, the power surpassing Frieza—all the answers lie with Gokarot!

He absolutely cannot give up!

With a gloomy face, he charged towards his spherical spaceship without saying a word.
