"Why?"
Goku looked puzzled.
Dumbledore sighed upon hearing this:
"Because…the gods might be displeased."
This was a truth he only understood after learning about Zeref's experiences.
His world had always had legends of the Grim Reaper, but whether the Grim Reaper truly existed was uncertain.
However, if he did exist, according to the records of the Three Holy Relics of Death, this Grim Reaper was definitely not a benevolent god.
The Dragon Balls were a product of Goku's world, and they had been used in his world without incident.
This indicated that the gods of that world didn't mind mortals using the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and make wishes.
Even more likely, the Dragon Balls might have been created by the gods of that world. It might even be fabricated.
After all, summoning Shenron can grant any wish, even resurrect the dead. Who but a god could do that?
However, the gods of other worlds might not allow such a thing to exist.
Like in Zeref's wizarding world, Zeref was cursed by Ankhseram, the god of life and death, for researching magic to resurrect his brother.
So, if Goku were to use the Dragon Balls to resurrect the dead in that world, he would most likely incur Ankhseram's wrath and be punished. The same applies to other worlds.
Because you don't know what the attitude of the gods in other worlds is.
If they're more aggressive, they might just appear on the spot and beat Goku to death.
Goku recently fought Odin, the Allfather of the Marvel universe, and was completely outmatched. Therefore, he didn't want Goku to take any risks because of this.
Furthermore, Zeref's experience had made him realize that the dead cannot be brought back to life. Forcibly resurrecting someone because of one's own selfish desires might not be a good thing for the deceased.
Besides, since the dead hadn't become ghosts, it meant they had the courage to continue to live.
Perhaps his sister had already adapted to life in the world of the dead, and there was no need to disturb her further.
His current focus should be on permanently resolving the issue of the relationship between wizards and Muggles.
As for Voldemort and his Horcruxes, he had long since stopped caring about them.
If Voldemort dared to cause trouble in the next two years, he would have dealt with him easily. If he had come out two years later,
Harry and his generation would have taught Voldemort how to behave properly.
Harry and the others, still adhering to the Turtle School of martial arts, could already fight a dragon to a draw without using magic, relying solely on hand-to-hand combat.
"Okay."
Although Goku didn't quite understand what Grandpa Dumbledore meant, he knew that Grandpa Dumbledore was definitely doing it for his own good.
So he decided to follow Grandpa Dumbledore's advice, and after returning to Earth, collect the last Dragon Ball and send it back to its own world.
This way, he wasn't in such a hurry to return to Earth.
He could take this opportunity to gain some experience in the universe.
After fighting Odin during the day, Thor took him on a tour of Asgard and explained some basic facts about the universe to him.
Although Thor seemed rather reckless and didn't like to use his brain much, he had lived for 1,500 years.
So, in truth, he was quite cultured.
He had mastered over a hundred languages spoken by various races throughout the universe.
According to Thor's explanation, the universe is vast, not only containing the Nine Realms, but also many other planets."
Different planets have different civilizations. Some powerful civilizations ventured beyond their planets, establishing different cosmic empires and various forces through war and trade.
Many of them, while not as ancient as Asgard, nor as powerful as the Asgardians, still possessed considerable strength.
There are even many extremely powerful beings in the universe, beings that even Odin himself acknowledges as superior to him.
Although Thor doesn't believe there are beings in the universe more powerful than his father, Odin.
Besides, there are many other gods in the universe who can rival Asgard.
Therefore, Goku felt that on his journey back to Earth, he might encounter some formidable opponents.
A week later, a golden spaceship with distinctly Asgardian characteristics appeared before Goku's eyes.
Its appearance resembled the giant pirate ships he had encountered in the Fairy Tail world. It's somewhat similar.
However, the wood has been replaced with a strange, golden metal, and you can sense strong energy fluctuations within it.
"Look, what do you think?"
Thor led Goku aboard the large ship and began to give him a general introduction.
Asgard has many spaceships, but they are all small ships used within Asgard; there are no large spaceships.
It's not that they can't build them, but rather that they've long been obsolete and unnecessary.
Asgard has the Bifrost, allowing direct teleportation to any destination, even large troop deployments.
Isn't this far more advanced than any other spaceship in the universe?
You see, the Asgardian civilization is a legendary existence in the universe.
Now that the Bifrost has been destroyed, it will take three years to repair.
To allow Goku to return to Earth, Odin had people revisit previously obsolete technologies...
Odin, through his magic, built this spaceship capable of traveling through space.
Although it's outdated technology, out of gratitude to Goku, Odin personally imbued the ship with divine power.
Therefore, this spaceship, in terms of both speed and defense, is among the most advanced in the universe.
Even the strongest warships of the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire, currently at war, would find it difficult to destroy this ship.
"I've named this spaceship 'The Ape God,'" Thor said, standing on the deck and asking Goku a question.
His name was carefully chosen.
"Ape" naturally refers to Goku, who can transform into a powerful Great Ape to fight.
"God" refers to himself; he is Thor of Asgard, one of the most powerful gods.
Together, they form "The Ape God."
"That's good." "
Goku didn't care much about the name of the spaceship, nor did he care much about its functions.
His focus was on the spaceship's cabin, which was overflowing with various delicious Asgardian specialties.
Thor knew Goku's appetite, so he had prepared a large amount of food.
While it wouldn't last for months, it would be enough for ten days, or half a month.
They could resupply on the nearest planet along the way.
As for the most important thing for space travel, energy replenishment, there was no need to worry.
Because it was just a matter of one strike from him.
"Since there are no problems, let's set off!"
Thor went to the ship's rudder and pressed the activation button.
"Ape God, activate!"
A golden energy shield immediately covered the entire spaceship, and a powerful propulsion system shot out from the stern.
The Ape God transformed into a golden light and plunged into the cosmic vortex beneath the rainbow bridge.
