Chapter 38 Cyrus's Wish
"Ahh…Ahhh…"
On the island, Cyrus and Wukong stood frozen, their mouths agape in sheer astonishment. They couldn't speak for a long time, completely captivated by the sight before them.
The dragon, with its red eyes and green scales, its massive body stretching hundreds of meters long, hovered in the air, casting a giant shadow over them. Even Cyrus, who had been mentally prepared for this moment, couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the sheer magnitude of the legendary dragon.
This was Shenron, the eternal dragon who could grant any wish!
"Human, are you the ones who summoned me?" The voice that filled the sky was deep and commanding, reverberating with majesty as the dragon's gaze fell upon them.
"Yes, yes, Dragon, it was we who summoned you," Cyrus managed to respond after a moment of stunned silence.
"Tell me your wish!" Shenron's voice boomed, its presence overwhelming.
"No matter what your wish is, I can make it come true for you."
The dragon paused for a moment, its gaze unblinking. "However, you only have one chance to make your wish. Choose wisely."
Cyrus and Wukong exchanged a look, and for a brief moment, everything seemed to hang in the balance.
"Amazing! Amazing!" Wukong shouted, her eyes wide with excitement.
"Cyrus, let's make our wish quickly! Quickly!"
She bounced up and down, her enthusiasm infectious, as the two of them prepared to make their choice.
Wukong, who has a pure heart, does not have any wishes of her own. She just feels it is very interesting and magical. No matter what wish Cyrus makes, she will be happy.
With a slight exhalation, Cyrus calmed down his excitement, and then expressed a wish that he had thought of a long time ago -
"Dragon, please grant me the most perfect Saiyan bloodline!"
Cyrus's voice continued to echo in the air, but Shenron just looked at him silently until a long while passed:
"I can't fulfill this wish."
After hearing Shenron's words, Cyrus nearly stumbled in shock.
"Dragon, I only asked for blood, not power! Can't you even grant such a simple request?" Cyrus growled, his anger rising. The dragon had appeared with such grandiosity, claiming it could fulfill any wish, yet now it was refusing his. Was this dragon a fake?
Shenron, sensing the doubt in Cyrus' voice, spoke with a hint of displeasure, his voice resonating across the sky.
"Human, do not question my power. The reason I cannot fulfill your wish is because you are already the most perfect Saiyan, evolved naturally."
"The most perfect Saiyan?" Cyrus repeated, his voice incredulous. "But I don't have a tail, I can't turn into a giant ape, and my fighting potential is far from extraordinary. How can I be the most perfect Saiyan?"
He was taken aback. Even though he knew Shenron didn't lie, the dragon's words didn't make sense to him. Was the dragon joking, or was there something more to it?
"Power does not guarantee perfection," Shenron replied calmly, his tone unwavering.
"The tail is the weakness of the Saiyans, and you have eliminated your weakness in the process of evolution. This is the best proof."
"Also, haven't you noticed how different you are from other Saiyans?"
"Other Saiyans are hot-tempered and simple-minded, but you are always able to stay calm and are smarter than any other Saiyan."
"You have already gotten rid of the beastly nature of the Saiyans in their evolution and gained the wisdom of the humans."
The dragon's voice was well-reasoned and kept echoing in the air, and Cyrus was even more shocked.
So that's it! So that's it!!!
Cyrus was well aware of the differences between himself and other Saiyans. As Shenron had pointed out, his calm and composed nature set him apart. Unlike other Saiyans, who were often driven by rage and impulsivity, Cyrus remained level-headed in most situations. Even Wukong, with her pure heart, would show the violent side of a Saiyan when angered.
Cyrus recalled a time when he and Master Roshi were practicing together. Master Roshi had accidentally injured him severely. Wukong, who had been cheering them on, was furious when she saw Cyrus fall to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth. Without hesitation, she rushed forward, her eyes red with rage, and launched herself at Master Roshi. The battle that ensued terrified both Cyrus and Master Roshi.
At the time, Cyrus had thought it was simply because he was a time traveler that he could stay calm in any situation. But now, hearing Shenron's words, he realized the true reason: after his rebirth, he had overcome the flaws inherent in Saiyan nature and evolved into a perfect Saiyan.
Cyrus pondered the wisdom behind this revelation. He had always believed that wisdom surpassed strength, and now he understood why.
"Power without wisdom is nothing but pure violence," he reflected quietly. "It becomes a tool for others to manipulate, just like the Saiyans, who fought tirelessly for Frieza, only to be abandoned and destroyed by him."
Being a Saiyan without a tail is tantamount to being born disabled for a Saiyan. Cyrus had been ridiculed and bullied because of this on Planet Vegeta. Although he told himself again and again not to care about what those guys thought, how could Cyrus not have any grudges deep in his heart?
But at this moment, all the resentment in Cyrus's heart disappeared.
He is not disabled without a tail, but a perfect Saiyan evolved naturally!!!
Feeling more relaxed than ever before, Cyrus exhaled slightly, and then looked at the dragon in the sky again——
"Dragon, after evolving, can I still become a Super Saiyan?"
"Can."
After hearing Shenron's answer, Cyrus was finally relieved.
Whether or not Cyrus can transform into a monkey is not a big deal, but if after eliminating the weakness of the tail he can't even transform into a Super Saiyan, that would be a bit ridiculous.
If that really happens, Cyrus won't care about perfection or not, he will definitely ask the dragon to replace his Saiyan bloodline with another one.
Since he could transform into a Super Saiyan, there was no need to change his bloodline any further. It was best to preserve his perfect Saiyan heritage—after all, who knew what unexpected surprises might lie ahead?
"Human, do you have any other wishes? Speak them now."
Shenron's voice boomed with impatience, and Cyrus realized that time was running out.
"Any other wishes?" Cyrus mused aloud. Then, an idea came to him.
His gaze sharpened, and he spoke clearly: "Shenron, I wish for Wukong and me to remain young and live forever!"
With the bloodline issue settled, immortality was the only thing left to wish for. Cyrus had traveled to this world and become a legendary Saiyan for a reason. There was so much he still wanted to accomplish—dozens or even hundreds of years weren't enough for him to achieve everything he dreamed.
He wanted to live forever, to experience the end of the universe itself, and be part of the grand finale.
However, he was careful in his request. "Please ensure that immortality and eternal youth only take effect after we have fully grown. I don't want to remain a child, nor do I want Wukong to stay a little girl forever."
Cyrus also explained to Shenron that immortality didn't mean invincibility. In the "Dragon Ball" universe, even entire worlds could be destroyed. There was no true immortality. For Saiyans, the fear of death was what kept them evolving. Without that, their growth would stagnate. He and Wukong needed to be able to die in battle and push their limits—immortality was not worth losing that drive.
"I understand. Your wish shall be granted," Shenron replied.
A strange light gleamed from the dragon's eyes, and Cyrus felt a sudden warmth spread throughout his body. It was as if countless currents of energy were flowing through him, and every cell seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation.
Wukong moaned in pleasure, "Ah, that feels so good..."
while Cyrus shared her exhilaration.
Eternal youth and immortality were his at last!
At this moment, he has realized the wish that many people have dream of for since ancient times...
To be continued…
