This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 479: The Correct Choice

"Nope, it won't do. We agreed from the beginning — the losers get erased."

"Mm-hmm, it won't do."

Staring at Yuujin in the arena, the two Grand Zenos in the palace spoke in their usual dazed and adorable tone.

The expressions of everyone from each universe turned pale; the tiny flicker of hope that had just arisen was once again mercilessly extinguished.

However, Yuujin also shook his head and spoke—

"Grand Zeno-samas, I am not making this request out of insolence or mischief — I have conditions as well."

"As the victor of this Tournament of Power, we are to be granted the Super Dragon Balls, which can grant any wish across the universes. That being the case, even universes that have been erased by Grand Zeno-sama can be restored using the Super Dragon Balls, correct?"

Hearing Yuujin's words, the Grand Priest on the floating platform looked rather surprised, and everyone else was completely stunned as well.

Could it be that Yuujin from Universe 13 is planning to...

"Yes, it's possible — if you use the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish."

Regardless of what others thought, the two Grand Zenos in the palace replied truthfully.

Indeed, the Super Dragon summoned by the Super Dragon Balls possessed the ability to restore universes that had been erased.

"In that case, then it's simple."

"If Grand Zeno-samas insist on erasing all the losing universes, then I will just use the Super Dragon Balls to bring them back."

"So for the sake of everyone's convenience, how about Grand Zeno-samas simply pardon them, and in return, I will give up my reward — the Super Dragon Balls. How about that?"

Yuujin said with a slight smile.

Although they had already guessed somewhat, the contestants and gods from each universe were still incredibly shocked and astonished.

Yuujin was truly planning to use the Super Dragon Balls to save them!

"But the Super Dragon Balls are really precious, you know. They can grant any wish at all."

"Why? Why would you use the Super Dragon Balls to save them?"

The two Grand Zenos asked. This was the same question in everyone else's hearts as well.

"My wish has already come true. The companions I most desired, the family I most wanted — they are standing right here. Even if I have other wishes in the future, I will achieve them on my own. I don't need the power of the Super Dragon Balls."

Looking at the women of Wukong surrounding him, Yuujin replied with a smile.

Chi-Chi's eyes were full of tenderness, Gokumi and Buu also beamed happily. Even Broly and Super 18, among the other women, looked to be in very good spirits.

"Is that the only reason?"

The two Grand Zenos asked again.

That reason explained why Yuujin could give up the Super Dragon Balls, but not why he would go so far to save the other universes.

"Of course, there are other reasons. I think the universe is more interesting with more universes around."

"Universe 7's Son Goku, Vegeta, Universe 11's Jiren, and others — they are rare opponents. If they were just erased like this, there would be far less fun in the future."

Hearing this reason, Goku grinned widely, Jiren's lips curled slightly, and though Vegeta snorted in annoyance, he could still understand Yuujin's sentiments.

After all, they were all Saiyans!

"Also, from now on, Universe 6's Caulifla and Kale are my disciples. I can't just sit back and watch my own disciples get erased."

Patting the heads of Caulifla and Kale, Yuujin added.

Caulifla angrily smacked away someone's lecherous hand, while Kale bashfully and happily lowered her head.

So it turns out that Mr. Yuujin's reason for saving all the losing universes had a little bit to do with them too.

No — she couldn't call him Mr. Yuujin anymore. She had to call him… M-Master…

"Of course, there's also Rylibeu, Caway, Hop, Miss 18 from Universe 7, Miss Cocotte from Universe 11, and the beautiful Magical Girl Warriors from Universe 2."

"They're like beautiful, blooming flowers. For them to just wither and vanish would be too much of a pity."

Glancing over at the other girls, Yuujin added, and all the girls blushed in unison.

Not to mention Rylibeu and Caway, who already had strong feelings for Yuujin — even Brienne and Kakunsa from Universe 2 now looked at Yuujin with flickers of emotion in their eyes, as if their opinion of him had greatly changed.

This Great Demon Lord Yuujin, who supposedly didn't understand beauty at all… actually, maybe he wasn't so bad after all…

Naturally, Yuujin noticed all the girls' reactions and smiled slightly, then once again looked toward the two Grand Zenos—

"Grand Zeno-samas, those are my reasons."

"Please answer me — if I give up the Super Dragon Balls, will Grand Zeno-samas pardon all the losing universes?"

Looking straight at the two Grand Zenos in the palace, Yuujin asked once more.

In truth, aside from the reasons he just mentioned, Yuujin had another far more important reason. But that reason — he wouldn't say it. At least, not yet.

Everyone from the losing universes watched the two Grand Zenos nervously, their hearts in their throats. If Grand Zeno-samas still refused to pardon them this time, then there would truly be no hope left for them!

"Yes, if you give up the Super Dragon Balls."

"Mm-hmm, if that's the case, then yes."

Nodding their round little heads, the two Grand Zenos said.

The entire venue fell into complete silence — but in the next moment, it erupted—

"That's great! Our universe won't be erased!"

"Waaah, I seriously thought it was all over just now…"

"I can't believe we were defeated by Universe 13 but then saved by them…"

Though the reactions varied across each universe, without a doubt, everyone was overjoyed and exhilarated at this moment.

They finally didn't have to be erased!

"Gohan, Piccolo, everyone — it's all good now. We don't have to worry anymore, hahaha…"

"Geez, Goku… it doesn't seem like you were ever that worried in the first place."

"Krillin, your face was totally white earlier."

"M-Mine?"

"Of course it was, hahahaha…"

With no more fear of erasure and destruction, all the losing universes finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Anyone who has never experienced the feeling of their universe being about to be erased, while being completely powerless to stop it, will never understand just how terrifying and torturous that is — even Beerus slumped back into his seat as if his strength had left him.

"Oh my, Lord Beerus — this time, you and everyone else owe your survival to that Yuujin-san."

Whis teased nearby, and Beerus, staring at Yuujin in the arena, did not deny it:

"Yeah… it's truly thanks to him."

"Universe 13's Saiyan Yuujin… really is a remarkable guy…"

Beerus sighed.

Whether it was Yuujin's overwhelming power or his magnanimous heart, even he had no choice but to admire it.

At the same time, atop the arena—

"Lord Yuujin!"

Caway and Rykibeu threw themselves into Yuujin's arms, overwhelmed with joy and excitement. Their eyes toward Yuujin were filled with boundless admiration and gratitude.

"Rylibeu, Caway — you don't have to worry anymore."

"Mm! Thank you, Lord Yuujin!"

Yuujin patted the heads of the two young girls, and they replied with utmost sincerity.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I made the decision on my own to give up the Super Dragon Balls we all fought together to win."

Looking toward Chi-Chi and the Gokumi girls, Yuujin's face showed an apologetic expression.

Even though none of the girls would oppose or question Yuujin's decision, he still felt the need to say it aloud.

"It's okay. I think what Yuujin did was best."

"Mm-hmm! Now no one has to disappear, and we can keep fighting them again in the future!"

"Well, we have our own Dragon Balls anyway, so it's not like we needed those Super Dragon Balls that badly."

Chi-Chi and the Gokumi girls spoke without concern. Only Buu looked pitifully at Yuujin:

"Master… the food…"

Looking at Buu, Yuujin was speechless. In his heart, he thought — you're still only thinking about food, huh?

Though she was gluttonous and playful, Buu had indeed contributed a lot in this Tournament of Power, so Yuujin patted her little head to comfort her:

"Don't worry. When we get back, I'll have the maids prepare lots of delicious food for you — enough to last three whole days and nights."

"Master, I love you the most!"

Cheering, Buu leapt into Yuujin's arms, rubbing herself against him like a little pet snuggling its beloved owner.

As long as there was delicious food, who cared about Super Dragon Balls or not — they could all go to hell!

"Hehehe, everyone looks so happy."

"Mm-hmm, so happy indeed."

Seeing everyone's joyful and cheerful expressions, the two Grand Zenos in the palace also giggled adorably with happiness.

Meanwhile, the Grand Priest, who had previously been cold and stern, now descended to Yuujin and the others with a smiling face:

"What an extraordinary decision."

"Yuujin-san, congratulations — you have made the one and only correct choice."
