While Goku and Vegeta went to deal with the Shadow Dragons, One-Star Dragon actually snuck into the Lookout to raid it.
This utterly refreshed everyone's perception of the Shadow Dragons.
"Damn it, how could a Shadow Dragon appear here?"
Gohan threw away his glasses, instantly transforming into Super Saiyan 2, ready to stop the Shadow Dragon.
It wasn't just Gohan; even Pan and other Saiyans all transformed into Super Saiyan.
"You're nothing but ants. I can kill you all anytime I wish." One-Star Dragon looked disdainfully at the Z Fighters surrounding him near the Lookout.
"Tell me where the Dragon Balls are. I know they're at the Lookout."
"If you don't, you know the consequences."
One-Star Dragon said, his voice turning cold.
A terrifying power spread out, blowing away the Z Fighters who had surrounded him.
"So... strong!"
Gohan lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The others were in similar states, but One-Star Dragon had not killed anyone.
"Tell me, where have you hidden the Dragon Balls?" One-Star Dragon continued, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the Z Fighters.
"I won't tell you!" Piccolo said defiantly.
"Hmph!"
One-Star Dragon snorted coldly.
Piccolo's right arm suddenly exploded, and a cloud of blood mist instantly filled the sky.
"Ahhh!"
Piccolo, pale from massive blood loss, said, "You don't..."
"In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber! Just go through that big door around the corner."
The sudden voice caught One-Star Dragon's attention.
One-Star Dragon observed Beryl for a moment, then smiled and said, "A remarkable human. You're just an ordinary person, yet I don't see a hint of fear on your face."
Compared to the large group of people behind the white-haired girl, who seemed to be the families of these Saiyans, the white-haired girl in front of him seemed overly calm.
One-Star Dragon concluded that this girl was probably ignorant and unaware.
She must not understand the strength of the universe's strongest Shadow Dragon to be so composed.
One-Star Dragon withdrew his gaze and walked unhurriedly into the Lookout.
His target was precisely the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"Wait... wait."
Piccolo struggled to get up, and with a shout, his severed limb instantly regenerated.
"No, we can't let the Shadow Dragon get the Dragon Balls!"
Although he didn't know what significance the Dragon Balls held for the Shadow Dragon, if gathering them greatly increased the Shadow Dragon's strength, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Goku and Vegeta.
"You can't defeat him. Going there would only be suicide," Beryl said calmly.
"Wh-why?"
Piccolo and the other Z Fighters looked at Beryl, confused.
To be honest, neither Piccolo nor Trunks felt that Beryl couldn't defeat One-Star Dragon.
They didn't understand why she allowed One-Star Dragon to go in and take the Dragon Balls.
Beryl remained silent, watching the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's door slowly close.
Her gaze finally left that spot.
She waved her hand, and the light points emanating from her palm landed on the Z Fighters.
Soon, everyone had fully recovered from their injuries.
"I have no reason to help you. Namekian, don't forget my purpose."
"Ensuring your safety is enough of an explanation for Goku and Vegeta."
"But... but!"
"No buts. Let me put it this way." Beryl paused, "I'm more interested in the strength of Super One-Star Dragon after he absorbs all the Dragon Balls."
"And even more interested in the battle between Goku and Vegeta and Super One-Star Dragon."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
After Beryl stated her purpose, those present who understood and those who didn't both fell silent.
And at this moment, the space connecting the outside world to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was forcibly opened.
One-Star Dragon slowly walked out.
On his chest, there were four more Dragon Balls with different star counts.
"His power has increased significantly," Beryl mused.
The strength of Super One-Star Dragon was definitely greater than his original strength.
However, by how much was unknown.
Currently, One-Star Dragon's strength was incomplete; he still needed two more Dragon Balls to become Super One-Star Dragon.
One-Star Dragon looked into the distance.
Ignoring everyone in the Lookout, he directly ascended into the sky and flew towards the ground.
"Eh? I seem to have been ignored."
But it didn't really matter; One-Star Dragon was on the shortlist anyway.
Besides the Four-Star Dragon, Beryl also intended to take One-Star Dragon.
She casually pulled out a crystal ball and tossed it to the Z Fighters.
"This is something I 'borrowed' from the Supreme Kai Realm. You can use it to watch Goku and Vegeta's battle."
"Trunks, you know how to use it, right?"
"Uh, I do."
Trunks was a bit bewildered; he felt like he often couldn't keep up with Miss Beryl's thoughts.
"Well then, bye-bye. I'm going to check on the Shadow Dragon's situation."
With that said, Beryl vanished directly from the Lookout.
In the Lookout, the Z Fighters looked at each other.
"Uncle Piccolo, the Dragon Balls were stolen. We..." Gohan was very worried.
"It's no use. No matter how anxious we are, it's meaningless." Piccolo sighed, "Gohan, if you hadn't neglected your training all this time, you might be as strong as your father and Vegeta by now."
"Sigh..."
Currently, Super Saiyan 2 Gohan's strength had already surpassed the strength of Gohan in his Ultimate state many years ago.
However, Gohan could not transform into that state now.
If Gohan hadn't neglected his training all these years, he might have been able to participate in the Shadow Dragon's battle.
Piccolo looked at Gohan, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"The parent is wasted; I can only look at the child."
Piccolo's gaze fell on Pan.
"Anyway, this child's talent is quite good. Although she's a girl, what's special is that Pan isn't like those two thoughtless guys, Gohan and Goten."
"They're always thinking about this and that, and can't focus on training."
Piccolo still remembered that when Pan trained with him, she was very diligent.
"Grandpa Piccolo, your gaze makes me nervous!" Even as a Super Saiyan, Pan had an instinctive fear of Piccolo.
Besides the difference in strength, Piccolo also gave her the feeling of a family patriarch.
"Pan, work hard! You might soon be able to become Super Saiyan 2."
"Uh... okay, I'll try my best." Pan looked bewildered.
…
At the location of Three-Star Dragon and Four-Star Dragon.
Vegeta had also arrived.
He started fighting the Four-Star Dragon, while Goku fought the Three-Star Dragon.
"Son Goku, you're finished!"
The Three-Star Dragon kicked Goku to the ground.
Goku struggled to get up from the collapsed ground, pushing away the concrete slabs that pinned him down.
"Damn Three-Star Dragon, you're so despicable!"
Goku sensed an unusual energy in the direction of the Lookout, seemingly One-Star Dragon's ki.
This caused Goku to be distracted.
Without noticing, he was ambushed by the Three-Star Dragon, who had begged for his life.
The accompanying ice attack directly hit his eyes.
Now Goku was completely blind.
Even with Super Saiyan 4's regeneration, it would take a considerable amount of time to recover.
"It's just your stupidity." Three-Star Dragon kicked Goku away again, sneering.
"You believe the words of an enemy; what else is that but stupidity?"
Even if he couldn't defeat Goku, he was the winner, and that was enough!
Look at that upright younger brother, Four-Star Dragon.
He still hasn't managed to take down Vegeta after all this time.
He's really the younger brother!
