In fact, Lynx's original reason for summoning the Dragon Balls was simply to revive Hanasia and the others.
Because Namek's dragon couldn't revive multiple people at once, he had no choice but to summon Earth's Shenron too.
But beyond those revival wishes, Lynx hadn't given much thought to what else to wish for.
What else could he ask for?
Since he hadn't planned in advance, he now had to come up with something on the spot.
And then — inspiration struck.
"Porunga! For my second wish, I want Planet Vegeta to be fortified so that it can't be easily destroyed by outside forces!"
This was a lesson learned from Hanasia's tragic experience.
Even a Super Saiyan can sometimes be too late to save a planet.
Frieza might be dead, but the universe was still filled with powerful unknown enemies.
In the world of Dragon Ball, planetary destruction is absurdly easy. Even beings with power levels in the tens of thousands could blow up a planet.
Lynx wasn't afraid of fighting strong opponents — what worried him was some lunatic ambushing Planet Vegeta while he was away, reducing it to rubble.
"That's easy!"
Porunga's deep voice echoed across the sky, his eyes glowing brilliantly.
Moments later—
"Your second wish has been granted! Now, speak your third and final wish!"
"Lynx, please tell us your third wish," Nail prompted.
"For my third wish… I want to gain the Grand Elder's ability to unlock potential!" Lynx declared loudly.
This ability was something Lynx had long coveted.
Although it wasn't as powerful as the Elder Kai's later potential-unleashing technique, the Grand Elder's version was still incredibly useful in the early stages.
With this, Lynx could boost the entire Saiyan race's strength — a good way to make up for having chosen a mission that didn't directly enhance his own power.
"That wish is easily granted!"
As Porunga's eyes glowed red once more, Lynx felt something enter his mind.
Immediately, his personal attribute panel changed:
Host: Lynx
Power Level: 1,360,000
Bloodline: Legendary Super Saiyan
Skills: Instant Transmission, Ki Control, Beginner Martial Arts Genius Talent, Beginner Potential Unleashing
Techniques: Planet Destruction Bomb, Death Beam, Flame Split Wave, Kamehameha, Afterimage Technique
"Saiyan, your wishes have been fulfilled. Farewell!"
Porunga soared into the sky and turned back into seven Dragon Balls, which scattered once more across Namek.
The sky brightened again, and warm sunlight bathed the land, restoring peace and serenity.
Watching all his wishes come true, Lynx smiled with satisfaction.
From his system inventory, he casually pulled out a Tree of Might Fruit and handed it to Nail.
"What is this?" Nail asked.
"It's a Tree of Might Fruit. It can increase power, but more importantly, it enhances physical and mental recovery.Give it to the Grand Elder — it should help extend his life."
"Really? Thank you very much," Nail said gratefully.
Lynx had a strong hunch that he'd soon need to use Namek's Dragon Balls again.
So offering the fruit was both a gesture of goodwill and a strategic move to solidify their relationship.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the universe—
A round spacecraft landed on a distant planet: Cold 001.
As the name implied, this was the stronghold of King Cold — Frieza's father.
Once the ship touched down, a group of aliens surrounded it.
"To those in the ship! Come out and submit to inspection!"
Even though the vessel bore Frieza Force insignia, its unannounced arrival made the local troops highly suspicious.
Compared to Frieza's army, King Cold's forces were better trained and more disciplined.
Soon, the hatch opened — and a purple-skinned figure emerged.
"Don't shoot! I'm Captain Ginyu, leader of the Ginyu Force under Lord Frieza!"
"Captain Ginyu?"
The aliens froze for a moment — then quickly recognized the famous elite.
"Captain Ginyu, this is King Cold's territory. What business do you Frieza Force people have here?"
"I have urgent news for King Cold. Lord Frieza has been killed!" Ginyu said grimly.
Later, inside King Cold's grand palace, the monarch — who looked like Frieza's second form — received the devastating news.
His energy flared uncontrollably.
"What!? My son Frieza… is dead!?"
The air itself trembled. Captain Ginyu knelt in fear.
"Forgive me, King Cold. Lord Frieza was killed by a Saiyan — one who may be the Legendary Super Saiyan!"
King Cold slammed a fist down.
"Super Saiyan!? Nonsense! That's just a myth!"
"It's no myth, sir! We encountered two Super Saiyans! One of them could even survive in the vacuum of space! Lord Frieza was beaten to death with his own two hands!"
King Cold's eyes narrowed.
"And what about you? My son was killed — and what were you doing?"
"Sir… I was on Lord Frieza's ship. Their power was far beyond what any of us could assist with…But, sire! I've brought crucial intel—about the Dragon Balls!"
Ginyu was about to explain that the Dragon Balls could be used to revive Frieza…
But he never got the chance.
ZAP!
A Death Beam pierced Ginyu's chest.
King Cold's face was cold and cruel.
"If you were useless in saving my son…Why are you even alive?"
"Ugh… K-King C–"
Ginyu collapsed, stunned that he was dying like this.
He had only come to help. To deliver information that could revive Frieza. He had been loyal — utterly loyal — to the Frost Demon clan.
Why…? Why!?
King Cold turned his back and walked away, barking one last order:
"Burn that thing's body. It disgusts me."
"Yes, sir!"
A lizard-like alien saluted and began dragging Ginyu's corpse toward the crematorium inside the palace.
But just as he entered the room—
A voice echoed softly:
"Exchange!"
A sudden flash of purple light illuminated the room.
Then, silence.
Moments later, the lizard alien walked back out of the room ——but now, his face bore the familiar, cocky smirk of Captain Ginyu.
"Hehehe…I'm not dying that easy!"
