Rayden gently ruffled Son Goten's hair and asked with a smile,
"Goten, do you have a wish you want granted?"
Son Goten shook his head excitedly. "Uncle Rayden, I don't have any wishes! I just really want to see what Super Shenron looks like!"
Rayden chuckled softly. He glanced around and noticed something surprising—Champa and the rest of Universe 6's team hadn't left yet.
"Still here? Are they trying to steal a wish?" he thought suspiciously.
At that moment, Cabba ran up to Vegeta, his face full of excitement.
"Master! I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"
"Master?"
The Saiyans from Universe 6 looked stunned.
They had heard rumors that someone from another universe had taught Cabba how to transform into a Super Saiyan, but they never imagined it would be these warriors—the very ones bold enough to challenge even the Gods of Destruction.
Vegeta scowled and shoved Cabba away roughly.
"You useless brat! Don't call me 'Master'! You've been training all this time and your power level is still that low? You're a disgrace to Saiyans everywhere!"
Cabba lowered his head in embarrassment.
Son Goku quickly stepped in to ease the tension.
"Vegeta, don't be like that! Cabba already made it to Super Saiyan 3 thanks to your guidance! That's impressive enough!"
"Humph!"
Vegeta folded his arms and grunted, refusing to say another word.
Cabba, however, didn't back down. He straightened up and said firmly,
"Master, I promise I'll keep training and get stronger!"

Rayden yawned and turned to Whis beside him.
"Whis, please look after Bulma and the others. I'm going to summon Super Shenron."
Whis gave a relaxed smile and nodded. He raised his staff and waved it gently. A wave of divine energy swept out, surrounding the group and lifting them gently into the air.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was floating in the vacuum of space, surrounded by the seven planet-sized Super Dragon Balls, each glowing with unimaginable power.
"Come forth, Shenron! Grant my wish!"
Frieza, already familiar with summoning both Earth and Namekian Shenron during his time training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, stepped forward confidently and tried to summon the dragon.
Vegeta burst into laughter.
"Frieza, are you trying to kill me with laughter? This isn't your Earth Shenron!"
Goku stepped closer, curious.
"Frieza, what are you planning to wish for?"
"Uh... Well... This…!" Frieza stammered, avoiding eye contact.
Of course, I can't tell them I want to wish to grow taller! If they find out…
Rayden saw right through him and smirked.
"So, you want to grow taller that badly? I'll grant you that wish later."
Vegeta frowned. "Frieza, using the Super Dragon Balls for such a small wish is a complete waste! Just use Earth's Shenron for that."
Frieza hesitated, then reluctantly nodded.
He's right. I don't even know how to summon Super Shenron anyway.
Rayden turned to Goku.
"Goku, do you have a wish in mind?"
Goku scratched his head. "Uh… I haven't really thought about it…"
Rayden nodded and took a deep breath. It was time.
He raised his hands and chanted:
"Come forth! Dragon of the Gods! Grant my wish!"
(spoken in the Language of the Gods)
"Uncle Rayden," Trunks said in confusion, "what language was that? It didn't sound like Namekian."
Rayden smiled.
"That's the Language of the Gods. Super Shenron can only be summoned and communicated with using this divine tongue."
Everyone let out groans of dismay.
"What a pain!"
"So if we can't speak that language, we can't even use the Dragon Balls?"
---
Suddenly, the seven colossal Dragon Balls began to resonate with each other.
They emitted a blinding golden light.
Whoosh!
A pillar of divine light erupted, shaking the very fabric of the universe.
The resulting shockwave tore through the cosmos, knocking nearby stars and planets out of orbit.
Whis and Vados quickly raised their staffs and conjured a massive protective barrier to shield everyone.
"Is this… really safe?" someone whispered.
"I'm not so sure about this anymore…"
Everyone watched in awe and fear as the golden energy intensified.
Cell, arms crossed, looked unimpressed.
"It's just a bit of divine energy. Relax."
Piccolo glanced at him, skeptical.
"You've seen Super Shenron before?"
"Of course—!"
Before Cell could finish, the blinding light engulfed them, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.
When the light finally faded, they lowered their arms…
And stood in stunned silence.
Floating before them was a golden creature of unimaginable size, stretching across galaxies.
It opened its eyes and let out a roar that shook the stars.
"One of its eyes is bigger than an entire planet!"
"Cell," Goku whispered, "are you sure this is safe…?"
Super Shenron flapped its wings and soared through the cosmos, swallowing stars and planets like candy.
"We're doomed!" Krillin screamed.
"Master! Are we trapped in its stomach?" Cabba panicked.
Cell sighed.
"Stop overreacting. This is how it works."
Rayden stepped forward.
"Cell is right. Once summoned, Super Shenron consumes the summoner and their group, and transforms its own consciousness into a form inside its belly to grant the wish."
As if on cue, a smaller version of Super Shenron—still massive—appeared before them. It radiated with divine presence.
Trunks and Goten lit up.
"Uncle Rayden! That Shenron is so cool!"
"I want to ride it!"
Super Shenron's eyes glowed red, and it spoke in the Language of the Gods:
> "You who have gathered all the Super Dragon Balls—state your wish. I will grant any wish, no matter what it is."
Rayden looked around at the group.
"Goku, are you ready?"
"Uhh… I actually don't have any wishes," Goku said sheepishly.
Rayden turned to the others.
Piccolo, Cell, Krillin, Yamcha… one by one, they all shook their heads.
"I have no wish to make."
"If that's the case…"
A voice cut through the silence.
"Then why not let me make the wish?"
It was Champa, sneaking forward.
Everyone turned toward him with sharp glares.
"I—I was just kidding! You all go ahead!" Champa laughed nervously, stepping back.
Rayden pointed at him.
"Chubby cat, make another sound and you're done for."
Vegeta suddenly spoke.
"Rayden, since no one has a wish, why not wish for a Time Shuttle Cube for Bulma?"
Everyone turned toward Bulma, who instantly blushed and covered her face, fleeing the scene.
"Well, if no one else has a wish, then let's go with that," Rayden said, preparing to make the wish.
"Wait!"
Beerus suddenly called out.
"Whis, give Bulma one of your teleportation cubes and let me use this wish!"
Whis smiled. "As you wish, Lord Beerus."
But Rayden shook his head and refused with a smirk.
"No can do. I'm wishing for one Time Cube for each of us. If you can come up with that many, I'll gladly give you the wish."
Beerus immediately backed down. "Tch! Fine, forget it."
"Rayden, this is sacred God-tier technology," Old Supreme Kai warned. "Mass-producing those is unwise!"
Rayden smiled mischievously but said nothing.
