Vegeta: Destruction-Do You Dare Absorb It?
Main timeline.
The Universe 6, Earth.
On a mountain in South City.
"What time is it now?" Gohan asked Bulma.
"It's 9:30. In 30 minutes, the androids will appear." Bulma checked the time.
After waiting a while longer.
"Someone's coming this way, but they're not bad guys," Piccolo suddenly said.
"Is it Vegeta?" Krillin asked, startled. "Is he a good guy or a bad guy?"
Emily glared angrily, handed the child to Bulma, and then stormed up behind Krillin.
"There's murderous intent!" Krillin suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Bang!"
Emily punched Krillin on the bald head.
Krillin winced in pain.
How can this woman be so barbaric?
How could I have fallen for a woman like that?
Not cute at all.
"If you say anything bad about Vegeta again, I'll never forgive you!" Emily snorted, turned around and went back to Bulma's side, taking Trunks into her arms.
Krillin: "..."
Krillin rubbed his head, which was sore from the beating, and felt utterly innocent.
I was just telling the truth, why did you resort to violence?
"Call out!"
Just then, an airship flew in from a distance and landed on the mountain where Piccolo and the others were.
"It's Yajirobe!" Krillin exclaimed quickly.
"I'm not late!" Yajirobe said coldly, quickly scanning the crowd before asking, "Hasn't Goku returned yet?"
"No... maybe something went wrong in the future." Krillin nodded.
"These are Senzu Bean from Master Korin." Yajirobe hurriedly handed over the bag of Senzu Bean.
Krillin took the bag of Senzu Bean with both hands and said excitedly, "Great! With these Senzu Bean, we can at least save our lives."
"Goodbye! Good luck, everyone!" Yajirobe started the airship and prepared to leave.
"Yajirobe, aren't you going to fight alongside us?" Krillin asked.
"Goku isn't here, I'm not going to stay and die. I have a lot of things to do." Yajirobe snorted and piloted the airship, quickly leaving the scene.
"Don't you guys find it strange? It's already past 10 o'clock, and we still haven't sensed any android presence," Tien Shinhan said in a deep voice.
"Yes..." Krillin nodded.
"Is Trunks telling the truth? Or has history changed... so androids no longer exist in our time?" Yamcha speculated.
"History will definitely change," Piccolo said calmly, "But that doesn't mean the androids will disappear!"
"The main problem is that we can't sense their presence at all," Yamcha pondered. "If there really is such a powerful android on this Earth, we should be able to sense its presence no matter where it is."
"Boom!"
As they were talking, the airship in the sky suddenly made a loud noise and exploded.
Everyone present was taken aback.
"It's Yajirobe!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Look, it looks like two people are attacking Yajirobe's airship!" Piccolo's eyes lit up as he looked up at the blue sky.
Two figures appeared high in the sky.
Unfortunately, those two people were too far away, and Piccolo and the others couldn't see them very clearly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two figures quickly descended from the sky and entered the town.
"Did you see it clearly?" Krillin asked hurriedly.
"We can't see them very clearly! And we can't sense their presence at all!" Piccolo said in a deep voice.
"Is it because the other party is an android that there is no aura at all?" Gohan guessed.
"Gohan makes a good point." Piccolo nodded slightly. "Since we can't sense their presence, we can only search with our eyes."
"Wait! What should we do if we spot the enemy?" Krillin asked hurriedly.
After all, we can't deal with our opponents.
"If we spot an enemy, immediately unleash your ki to alert everyone!" Piccolo made a quick decision, then turned to Gohan and said, "Gohan, Quillbe is still alive, go find him!"
"Yes, Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan nodded.
"Let's go!" Piccolo gave the order.
Goku isn't here; Piccolo is the soul of this team.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several warriors flew towards the city together, splitting into several golden rays in the air.
Gohan then flew towards Yajirobe's location.
In the town.
Android 19 and Android 20 swaggered along the highway.
Both of them wore hats that covered the transparent material on their heads.
"Android 19, we must settle this score with Goku's father!" Android 20 said coldly.
"Yes! Last time I went out when I didn't have enough energy! This time when I meet him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Android 19 was very unhappy.
"Luckily, you're lucky. Your body wasn't seriously injured. You'll recover as long as your head is reattached." Android 20 breathed a slight sigh of relief and said earnestly, "Although I hope to find a better subject for the experiments, I don't want to lose you."
"Without a new carrier, we can only activate the Android 17 and Android 18," suggested the Android 19.
"Don't rush to activate them." Android 20 shook his head and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, their energy intensity has far exceeded my budget, and they are not very stable yet. My original idea was to find a better experimental subject and inject his bloodline into our bodies. But unfortunately, Saiyan bloodline is incompatible with ours."
Android 19 did not speak.
In fact, the two had already started.
Android 20 has been researching how to integrate Saiyan blood into his own body and make himself stronger.
This way, we can better control Android 17 and Android 18.
Unfortunately, the idea was nice, but reality was cruel.
No matter how hard Android 20 tried, he was never able to integrate Saiyan blood or genes into his body.
As for how to obtain Saiyan blood, it's quite simple; it can be done by collecting their blood samples through spy robots.
"Hey, did you guys see that? There was an airship that exploded in the air just now."
Just then, an old man suddenly said something to numbers Android 19 and Android 20.
Android 19 turned his head and looked at him, then walked over.
"Did you see it?" the old man asked again.
However, the old man then noticed something was amiss. He saw that the person's face was completely bloodless, like a zombie's face, and the expression was quite unpleasant.
"What... what do you want to do?" The old man looked warily at Android 19 as he approached.
The old man's son smoked a cigarette, glanced at Android 19, and didn't show much expression on his face.
"Bang!"
Android 19 suddenly rammed his head into the old man's face.
The old man let out a scream and died on the spot.
The old man's son was horrified. He was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
What did we do to you?
Android 19 punched the old man's son, sending him flying.
The old man's son crashed into a building in the distance, leaving a deep mark on it.
Android 19 licked the blood off his hands and gave a faint smile.
It was as if killing was a very pleasurable thing for him.
"Beep beep beep!"
At that moment, a car drove up from the road in the distance and kept honking its horn at Android 20, who was standing in the middle of the road. The sound was extremely piercing.
Android 20 remained unmoved.
"Hey, get out of the way, you idiot, what are you doing standing in the middle of the road daydreaming?" the driver shouted at Android 20, sticking his head out.
Android 20 spread out his five fingers and poked them into the car body.
The driver was stunned.
"Smack!"
Android 20 reached out of the car with a handle, bringing with it a whole bunch of parts.
The car was making a crackling sound and sparks were flying everywhere.
The driver was completely dumbfounded.
You're a monster, aren't you?
"Smack!"
Android 20 suddenly swung his hand and grabbed the driver by the neck.
The driver was terrified, but completely powerless to resist.
"Bang!"
Android 20 grabbed the driver by the neck and lifted him up.
Instantly, the driver's head pierced through the roof of the car.
Android 20 gripped the other person's neck tightly.
The driver's head was twisted and deformed, his eyes bulging outwards, and it seemed that blood could not keep up with the flow.
"Click!"
Android 20 had no expression on his face. He snapped the driver's neck and his head slumped down.
"Ah!"
A girl passing by witnessed this horrific scene and screamed.
"Beep beep!"
"Someone with extremely high energy levels is heading this way. Is the Scouter malfunctioning?" Android 20 was slightly taken aback and turned to ask Android 19.
"It's not a malfunction; I also detected this message." Android 19 nodded.
"This energy level far exceeds that of a normal person," Android 20 mused.
"If you had equipped me with Scouter three years ago, I would have known the energy level of Goku's father," Android 19 said expressionlessly.
"He will appear! Just like Goku will appear!" Android 20 snorted. "It's possible that this person with extremely high energy levels is Goku or his father!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two immediately flew into the sky and looked down from above.
On the street below, some people cautiously walked out and looked around.
"He is neither Goku nor Goku's father; there is a 96% chance he is Yamcha," analyzed Android 19.
"At least he has a lot of energy," Android 20 pondered. "Let's go down and absorb his energy... The best way for our type right now is to absorb more and more energy. That way we can surpass Android 17 or Android 18!"
"Yes!" Android 19 nodded respectfully.
The two slowly descended from the sky and appeared behind Yamcha.
Yamcha seemed to sense that something was wrong. He turned around and saw two strangers.
"Hey, did you guys see that? Where did those two murderers go?" Yamcha asked.
Android 19 smiled gently.
"Could it be..." Yamcha's heart skipped a beat.
"It's us." Android 20 said with a smile.
"Ah..." Yamcha exclaimed in surprise, kicking in mid-air and retreating rapidly while shouting, "Everyone..."
"Smack!"
Just as Yamcha uttered two words, Android 20 swiftly attacked, sweeping forward and pinching Yamcha's mouth shut.
Immediately afterwards, Android 20 pinched Yamcha's mouth and lifted his body high up.
Yamcha struggled desperately, but felt that the other person's hand was gripping him too tightly.
At this moment, Yamcha felt like a chick, powerless in front of an eagle.
Moreover, Yamcha discovered that his power seemed to be being drained by the other party.
"Pfft!"
Android 20 didn't hold back and swung his palm, piercing through Yamcha's body.
Suddenly, a large, bloody hand emerged from Yamcha's back.
Yamcha immediately sensed that his life force was rapidly dissipating.
"Smack!"
Android 20 pulled his hand out of Yamcha's body.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Just then, Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan flew in from a distance and landed nearby.
"Yamcha!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Snap!"
On the Android 20, he casually tossed Yamcha to the ground.
"He's still alive. Krillin, take him to where you put the Senzu Bean and give him Senzu Bean." Piccolo made the decision immediately.
"Understood." Krillin nodded, stepped forward, picked up the unconscious Yamcha, and flew into the sky.
No follow-up was made on the Android 19 and Android 20.
"Are you androids? You've finally shown yourself!" Piccolo said coldly.
The two androids looked at Piccolo with some surprise.
"How do you know we're androids? And how do you know we'd be here!" Android 20 frowned. "Even Goku's father didn't know that."
Piccolo: "???"
Goku's father?
Have they already met Goku's father?
"Answer my question!" Android 20 stared at Piccolo expressionlessly.
"Don't rush, let's have a match first," Piccolo said calmly.
"Alright." Android 20 smiled.
"Come with me!" Piccolo leaped into the air.
"Are you trying to create an environment where no one is here? There's no need to leave at all. I'll help you!" Android 20 sneered, his eyes flashing with light.
"Boom!"
A streak of light struck the city, followed by a deafening explosion in one corner, filling the air with smoke and echoing with deafening noise.
Android 20's eyes kept shooting streams of light.
In just a moment, half of this green island was engulfed by the massive explosion.
"You guys!" Piccolo's face was extremely ugly.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with this deserted environment now, Piccolo!" Android 20 said with a sneer. "However, half the people on the island are still alive, so I've already shown mercy."
"How do you know my name?" Piccolo asked, surprised.
"I not only know your name, we also know this guy's name," Android 20 sneered. "Your name is Tien Shinhan, right?"
Tien Shinhan fell silent.
"This isn't the time to talk about this. Do you dare come with me?" Piccolo snorted and immediately took to the air.
"Whoosh!"
Piccolo and Tien Shinhan carried the two androids and flew quickly into the distance.
Thanks to the Senzu Bean's healing power, Yamcha fully recovered.
"Yamcha, you just said they can absorb other people's energy?" Krillin asked.
"I'm not entirely sure what happened, but after they captured me, my energy gradually disappeared," Yamcha said in a deep voice.
"It seems Dr. Gero's android inventions are quite impressive," Emily remarked, then turned to ask, "Bulma, didn't you invent some kind of robot too?"
"The robot I invented is amazing!" Bulma chuckled.
"How amazing is it?" Emily asked curiously.
"Taking down 100 Vegeta shouldn't be a problem, right?" Bulma said thoughtfully.
Emily: "..."
"Bulma, you're so annoying!" Emily glared at Bulma angrily.
What you're saying is really ridiculous.
Do not use Vegeta as a unit of measurement.
"I'm just telling the truth," Bulma sighed. "Unfortunately... she's already..."
"Dead?" Emily was stunned.
"You wouldn't say she's dead... she just sealed away her memories." Bulma looked up at the sky.
Universe 7, a certain planet.
"Broly, are you spending the night here?" Xiao Ai's body shimmered with light.
"Mmm." Broly nodded and gently stroked Xiao Ai's round body.
"The environment here is so nice, Xiao Ai really likes it." Xiao Ai seemed very happy.
Broly lay down on the ground, crossed his arms behind his head, and looked up at the starry sky.
Xiao Ai hovered beside Broly, also gazing at the pitch-black night.
At this moment, the human and the robot looked perfectly natural together.
The Universe 6, Earth.
"If he can really absorb energy, that's too dangerous! I have to tell Uncle Piccolo right away!" Gohan immediately took to the air and flew into the sky.
"To be honest, I don't want to go. I'm really sorry, but I can't do anything about them. Going there would only be a pointless death," Yamcha said through gritted teeth.
"I'll go deliver the Senzu Bean to them," Krillin said, leaping into the air and calling out to Yamcha and Bulma others.
"Krillin, you have no idea how powerful the androids are!" Yamcha shouted.
However, Krillin had already flown away.
Yamcha: "..."
Yamcha felt a little ashamed to stay with Bulma and Emily.
The men have all gone out to fight.
"Damn it! If I can't beat them, I might as well just watch the show!" Yamcha gritted his teeth and immediately flew into the sky.
Soon only Bulma, Emily, and Trunks in Emily's arms remained at the scene.
Besides the three of them, Yajirobe was also standing not far away, striking a cool pose.
"Hey, aren't you going?" Emily turned to ask Yajirobe.
"Of course not," Yajirobe replied.
"I've heard you're amazing. Even one more person would be helpful at a time like this," Emily said, looking at Yajirobe.
"Emily is right. Your friends and Earth are in a critical situation. Before Luo Tian and Goku return, even if you go to buy time, it would be good," Bulma added.
"Is that so?" Yajirobe remained unmoved.
"How can you remain so unmoved!" Emily shouted angrily.
"Shameful!" Bulma chimed in with a rebuke.
Yajirobe almost cried.
You two women... have gone too far.
They ganged up on me!
"I can't fly..." Yajirobe looked aggrieved.
Bulma: "..."
Emily: "..."
After flying for some time, on the Android 20, they suddenly discovered that the surrounding area was full of high mountains and rocks, which would be a good place to hide.
"Piccolo, where do you plan to fly to? Fight here. You have no choice!" After saying this, Android 20 descended from the sky and landed on the ground below.
Piccolo surveyed the surrounding terrain.
This flat area was surrounded by rocks, and they planned to hide inside the rocks to fight if they encountered any danger. What a brilliant idea!
"Before the fight, tell me, how did you find out about us?" Piccolo asked calmly.
"I can tell you, but you have to answer a few questions for me first." Android 20 smiled slightly.
"Go ahead," Piccolo nodded.
"Where is Goku? Why isn't he here?" Android 20 asked.
"He had to leave and won't be back for a while." Piccolo didn't mention that Goku had gone to the future.
"Then, what about Goku's father?" Android 20 asked again.
"Why are you suddenly bringing up Goku's father?" Piccolo asked, taken aback.
"Just answer my questions, and don't ask anything you shouldn't," Android 20 sneered.
"I don't know... You mean you've already met Goku's father?" Piccolo understood.
"No comment!" Android 20 replied coldly.
"Alright, I've answered your question. Now you can answer mine," Piccolo said calmly.
Android 20: "..."
Have you answered my questions?
None of these are the answers I want to know.
"Never mind, there's no harm in telling you." Android 20 thought for a moment and said to Piccolo, "Actually, the reason is very simple. For years, we've been using small robots to monitor your movements, from the World Martial Arts Tournament all the way to the battle between Goku, you, and Vegeta! After Goku wiped out our Red Ribbon Army, we started this research! The research focused on how to defeat Goku? What kind of android could destroy him?"
"Is it out of hatred for Goku?" Piccolo asked again.
"Yes, it was because of Goku that the Red Ribbon Army's dream of ruling the world was shattered!" Android 20 said in a deep voice, "Leaving Dr. Gero all alone to do his research."
"Judging from your tone, it's as if you are Dr. Gero himself," Piccolo said, looking at Android 20.
Android 20 was taken aback, and was slightly startled.
This guy is pretty smart.
"Don't talk nonsense, I am Android 20, created by Dr. Gero! Dr. Gero is dead!" Android 20's voice was low.
"I basically understand." Piccolo nodded. "Now I know what's going on... By the way, did you even scout out the battle on Planet Namek?"
"There's no need for that! Through the battle between Goku and Vegeta, we already clearly know Goku's true strength!" Android 20 said coldly. "Although Goku's strength will increase with age, it definitely won't increase dramatically. It's a pity Goku wasn't here, otherwise he would have died a very satisfying death!"
"You miscalculated. The battle on Planet Namek was our greatest leap forward." Piccolo snorted, then turned to Tien Shinhan and said, "You don't need to lift a finger. Let me handle him!"
"Boom!"
As he spoke, Piccolo's eyes flashed, and he unleashed his energy.
The Tien Shinhan nearby were stunned.
Has Piccolo become that powerful?
As expected of Namekian, I am no match for him.
"Not bad, Piccolo. I didn't expect your energy to have increased to this level." Android 20's eyes lit up. "Incredible! It far exceeds the calculations! But we won't panic. Not to mention me, even Android 19 can defeat you!"
"Let's begin," Piccolo said calmly.
"Call out!"
With that, Piccolo charged headlong toward Android 19.
Android 19 was also immediately prepared for battle.
"Whoosh!"
Piccolo swayed and appeared behind Android 19 in an instant, then kicked him hard.
Android 19 was sent flying backwards and crashed headfirst into a nearby rocky hill.
However, immediately afterward, Android 19 flew out of the ruins of the rocks and hurtled towards Piccolo.
Piccolo dodged Android 19's attack with a quick movement, and then took to the air.
"Special Beam Cannon!"
Piccolo brought his index and middle fingers together, and a Spiral Light Flame shot towards Android 19.
Android 19 gritted his teeth, slapped the Spiral Light Flame away.
Immediately afterwards, Android 19 soared into the sky and engaged in a fierce battle with Piccolo.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, Gohan, Krillin, and Yamcha descended from the sky and landed next to Tien Shinhan.
"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan with concern.
"Don't worry, Piccolo has the upper hand now! This guy is so strong... I really don't know how he trained," Tien Shinhan exclaimed.
"Bang bang bang!"
Piccolo displayed his prowess, completely overwhelming Android 19.
"Really... was it just my imagination that I was being drained of energy?" Yamcha looked back and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"That's amazing." Krillin exclaimed. "As expected of Piccolo, he's still very reliable in crucial moments."
"Go Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan was even more excited.
"Bang!"
Just then, Piccolo delivered a powerful blow that sent Android 19 crashing to the ground.
"Boom!"
Android 19 crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a crater.
However, immediately afterward, Android 19 got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
"Look! This guy's been beaten up like that and he doesn't even feel the pain!" Yamcha exclaimed.
"Do androids not feel pain or fatigue?" Tien Shinhan guessed.
"Masenko!"
Piccolo roared and unleashed a burst of energy from his hand.
Android 20's eyes lit up immediately.
This is great stuff!
That Spiral Light Flame is difficult to absorb.
But this stuff is really easy to absorb.
"Waaaaah!"
Android 19 laughed heartily, immediately opened his right hand and raised it high to catch the falling Masenko.
"Whoosh!"
The Masenko released by Piccolo was easily absorbed into Android 19's body.
Krillin was stunned.
Gohan was also greatly alarmed.
"It's been absorbed!" Tien Shinhan exclaimed.
"Just as I thought, that bastard!" Yamcha shouted.
"Uncle Piccolo, stop using the Masenko! It can absorb our energy!" Gohan a warning.
Piccolo: "..."
Just as I expected.
I felt something was off earlier.
Fortunately, the energy I released wasn't very strong, so even if he absorbed it, he didn't absorb much.
"Hey-hey!"
Android 19 let out a cold laugh and immediately took to the air, hurtling towards Piccolo's direction.
"Hmph!" Kusu and was about to launch an attack on Android 19.
"Bang!"
It's just that some people are faster.
With a muffled thud, Android 19, which had just taken off, was kicked in the lower back.
"Awoo..."
Android 19 nearly fractured his waist, let out a scream, and flew out.
"Boom!"
Android 19 crashed headfirst into the ground and rolled several times.
After Android 19's body came to a stop, he looked extremely disheveled.
Android 20 was startled and turned to look in the direction of the person who had appeared.
The man hovered high in the sky, his hair standing on end, wearing combat armor, and sporting a contemptuous smile.
It was Vegeta.
"Hmph, with Kakarot not here, is it Piccolo's turn to give orders?" Vegeta snorted, looking at Piccolo with a smile.
Piccolo remained calm and didn't say much.
Android 19 got up from the ground and glared angrily at Vegeta.
However, Android 19 seemed to have thought of something and quickly turned to Android 20, pleading, "Android 20, please allow me to destroy Vegeta!"
"Okay!" Android 20 nodded.
Android 19 immediately assumed a fighting stance and looked at Piccolo and Vegeta.
"Sneak attacks aren't skillful. You two come at me together," Android 19 chuckled.
"Hey, Vegeta, his opponent is me!" Piccolo said calmly.
"Piccolo, you're so bad! Your fight is so drawn out! I couldn't stand watching you fight, so I couldn't help but intervene," Vegeta snorted.
"Tch!" Piccolo scoffed.
"Three seconds. Give me three seconds to finish this guy off!" Vegeta said coldly.
"Three seconds? You want to finish him off in three seconds?" Piccolo was taken aback.
"Of course, three seconds is too long!" Vegeta said with a laugh. "Besides, seeing this guy's movements, I already knew the extent of his strength! They're not as terrifying as the legends say! Just pay attention to the fact that they can absorb energy with their palms!"
"You've been watching me the whole time, but you've overlooked the most crucial part!" Android 19 scoffed. "Vegeta, we know your fighting techniques inside and out!"
"Really? Have you seen this before?" Vegeta said, and golden light immediately emanated from his body.
"Smack!"
Vegeta's entire body radiated golden light, indicating that he had activated his Super Saiyan transformation.
A powerful energy emanated from Vegeta and spread outwards.
Android 19 was stunned when she saw the golden light emanating from Vegeta.
Android 20 was also completely dumbfounded.
What powerful energy!
Piccolo was slightly taken aback, not expecting Vegeta to transform into Super Saiyan.
"He's become Super Saiyan!" Gohan in surprise.
"What's going on? Why can Vegeta also become Super Saiyan? Is it because of the peaceful heart that Luo Tian mentioned?" Krillin exclaimed. "Or is it that, Vegeta, you were in a relationship with Emily, and that's how you gained a peaceful heart?"
Vegeta: "..."
"Get out of my way, I have nothing to say to you!" Vegeta's face darkened.
"If I fall in love, will I turn into a superhuman?" Krillin sighed.
"Luo Tian is right, my state of mind is indeed very peaceful. Under these conditions, as long as my emotions fluctuate greatly, I will become Super Saiyan." Vegeta snorted. "However, it was purely out of malice. I just wanted to make myself stronger, so I trained hard for it! Finally, one day, my anger towards myself brought me to my senses, and I successfully became Super Saiyan! I was absolutely ecstatic. I'm only a day away from surpassing Kakarot!"
Vegeta became more and more excited as he spoke.
Piccolo, Krillin, and the others fell silent for a moment.
Don't you know that Goku can transform into Super Saiyan God?
You've just become Super Saiyan, and you're already this arrogant?
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. No matter what you become, you're no match for us!" Android 20 said coldly.
"Hmph, Vegeta, you shouldn't have interfered." Android 19 chuckled. "But it's fine, I'll absorb your energy first."
"Really? You want to absorb my energy? I'll give it to you!" Vegeta said, gently raising his right hand.
"Smack!"
A purplish-red ball of light suddenly jumped out of Vegeta's hand.
The purplish-red orb was about 20 centimeters in diameter and was filled with an aura of death.
"Dare to absorb it?" Vegeta grinned maliciously, flicking his hand lightly, and the purplish-red orb in his hand flew towards Android 19 at a gentle speed.
It was as if it was saying: Absorb me!
"What... what is that?" Tien Shinhan paused for a moment.
"Destruction? Isn't that destruction?" Krillin asked in astonishment.
"You've managed to concentrate destruction to such an extent?" Piccolo was utterly astonished.
"Surprised, aren't you?" Vegeta's smile grew even more smug.
Four years ago, my damage was only the size of a sesame seed.
After four years of dedicated practice, I have finally condensed the destruction energy to a diameter of 20 centimeters.
Kakarot, when are you coming back, you bastard?
I'm waiting to give you a good beating.
Seeing the Destruction Energy flying towards him, Android 19 hesitated for a moment.
Because Android 19 keenly sensed that this thing looked dangerous.
You might die if you run into one.
Don't underestimate this small thing; it seems to contain a tremendous amount of energy.
If I absorb it... will I become incredibly strong?
Android 19 wanted to absorb but dared not, standing there with a struggling expression.
"Absorb it quickly! Android 19, what are you standing there for? Don't be scared by him!" Android 20 shouted at Android 19.
Thinking about it, Android 19 makes sense.
Vegeta is definitely just making things complicated.
Do you really think I wouldn't dare absorb this stuff?
Is there any energy I dare not absorb?
"Hmph, Vegeta, you'll regret this!" Android 19 opened his arms, aiming at the Destruction Energy flying towards him.
The Destruction Energy wasn't very fast, and it easily made contact with Android 19's palm.
"Smack!"
An astonishing scene unfolded.
Android 19's body burst open like a soap bubble.
"Smack!"
Android 19's body turned into nothingness and disappeared completely.
Looking at the purplish-red orb again, it still retained its original flying state.
Android 20 was dumbfounded, his face showing astonishment, feeling endless shock and fear.
What's going on?
How did it explode on the Android 19?
No, no!
It didn't explode; it looked like it was blasted into dust by something.
No, not even a trace was left!
When did Vegeta learn this technique?
The robot that was monitoring Vegeta and Goku's battle malfunctioned inexplicably. Could it be because of something that happened at that time?
It's worth mentioning that the robot malfunction mentioned by Android 20 was due to Luo Tian's appearance.
Luo Tian certainly wouldn't let a robot detect his movements; he simply released a little bit of Angelic Power and destroyed the robot.
However, the robot's remote data has already been transmitted to Dr. Gero.
However, the part concerning Luo Tian was naturally not in the past.
"What a pity. I was hoping to see the androids' faces contorted with fear." Vegeta snorted and waved at the Destruction Orb.
"Whoosh!"
The destructive orb quickly returned to Vegeta's hand.
Vegeta retracted the Destruction Sphere into his body and looked at Android 20 with a smile.
Android 20 was stunned, his face filled with fear, and his eyes revealed deep apprehension.
"You're next, you old geezer!" Vegeta snorted, looking at Android 20 with a cold smile.
Android 20: "..."
Who are you calling an old idiot?
Vegeta is such a hateful guy.
Is there any way to swear like that?
"I did underestimate you, Vegeta," Android 20 said coldly. "But you still have no chance of winning."
"Hmph, this time I won't let you die so easily. I want to watch you perish from fear!" Vegeta sneered.
"No matter how powerful you are, you can never be a match for a android," Android 20 said calmly.
"Come on!" Vegeta beckoned to Android 20.
"What? Android 19, you're still alive?" Android 20 suddenly looked behind Vegeta.
"You... what did you say?" Vegeta's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked behind him.
Upon seeing this, Vegeta immediately realized he had been tricked.
Where is Android 19 behind us?
There was clearly nothing there.
Vegeta had a bad feeling and quickly turned around to look in the direction of Android 20.
Sure enough, Android 20 had already fled the scene at lightning speed and entered the nearby stone forest.
"Damn it! Don't even think about running away!" Vegeta roared in anger, feeling like he'd been played for a fool.
"Call out!"
Vegeta rushed forward at Vegeta speed, chasing after Android 20.
However, there was no aura emanating from Android 20, Vegeta looked around but couldn't find him anywhere.
"Uncle Piccolo, what do we do?" Gohan asked.
"Let's go and take a look!" Piccolo suggested.
"I'll go check and see if Vegeta has destroyed the androids." Tien Shinhan nodded.
"I'll go too!" Krillin replied.
"Although I don't want to go, I'll still go and take a look!" Yamcha said in a deep voice.
"Uncle Piccolo, I'm going too! We've trained for so long, we can't just give up like this," Gohan said.
"Understood, but whatever you do, don't fight him. None of you are a match for him." Piccolo solemnly warned, "He must be hiding in the rocks. He's an android; we can't sense his location by his aura! Once we find him, notify me or Vegeta immediately!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The next moment, Piccolo and the others also flew into the stone forest, searching everywhere for Android 20's movements.
"Come out now! You coward! Didn't you say that you androids would definitely win? Come out now!" Vegeta shouted.
Android 20, however, hid behind a rock, his eyes filled with apprehension.
I'm not going out!
What can you do to me?
"Damn it! This guy really did take advantage of the terrain!" Vegeta gritted his teeth. "I'll force you out!"
With that, Vegeta soared into the air, raised his right hand high, and a purplish-red Destruction Energy condensed in his hand.
Android 20's expression changed repeatedly.
That purplish-red orb of light was absolutely terrifying.
I don't know what it's made of.
If I get hit, I'll shatter on the spot.
And it can't be absorbed!
"Aren't you coming out? If you don't come out soon, this whole area will be flattened!" Vegeta snorted and shouted, "You'll disappear along with this thing."
A look of terror appeared in Android 20's eyes.
"Hey, don't hit us! We're still down here!" Krillin panicked and shouted loudly.
Vegeta: "..."
"Damn it! Baldy! What are you doing here?!" Vegeta grinned, clearly annoyed. "Get out of my way, I'm going to raze this area to the ground!"
"Vegeta, that thing of yours... won't it destroy the Earth too?" Piccolo flew up and asked Vegeta.
Vegeta fell silent.
Indeed, this thing is incredibly powerful.
If I lose control, I could easily destroy the Earth.
I was just trying to scare that guy.
"Hmph, then let's try another one!" Vegeta snorted coldly, immediately withdrew his Destruction Energy, and switched back into a golden ball of light.
The golden sphere of light is a relatively common form of energy.
"Get out of the way!" Vegeta shouted, hurling the energy ball directly at the ground below.
Android 20's eyes lit up.
I feel that I should be able to absorb this energy.
"Call out!"
Android 20 appeared swiftly directly beneath the energy sphere, raising his hands high and easily absorbing the energy released by Vegeta.
"Hahaha! Thank you, Vegeta, you're such a good person!" Android 20 laughed heartily.
"Oh no!" Vegeta's face changed color, and he hurriedly chased after them.
"Whoosh!"
Android 20 moved swiftly and disappeared from the spot.
By the time Vegeta realized what was happening, the other person had already disappeared.
"This is terrible, he's much faster than I thought!" Vegeta kept baring his teeth.
Android 20 hid behind a rock, his face extremely grim.
I never expected Vegeta to be so powerful.
It was far more powerful than the data obtained at the time.
It seems there's no other way.
We can only go back and activate the Android 17 and Android 18 as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Android 20 caught a glimpse of Gohan standing on a rock in the distance.
Besides Gohan, there were also Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, Krillin, and Yamcha nearby.
Android 20 suddenly changed his mind.
If I combine their energy and add it to myself, I will definitely be able to defeat Vegeta.
As long as you're careful of Vegeta's purplish-red orb, there won't be any problems.
Whose energy should we absorb first?
Let's start by absorbing Piccolo; his strength is not much different from Android 19's.
Piccolo's energy is enough for me to use for a while.
Vegeta, just you wait!
Android 20 quietly appeared behind Piccolo and hooked her arm around him from behind, covering Piccolo's mouth with her left hand and wrapping her legs tightly around Piccolo's body.
Piccolo's body trembled violently, and he couldn't say a word.
"Heh heh heh, now you won't be able to summon your comrades. I'm going to drain your energy!" Android 20 chuckled coldly. "They won't be able to find this place. I know the location of each and every one of them perfectly!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Piccolo immediately made contact with Gohan through telepathy.
"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan was startled and immediately released his senses, quickly sensing Piccolo's presence.
"Call out!"
Gohan rushed forward and quickly appeared behind Android 20.
"Bang!"
Gohan a powerful blow, slamming it directly onto Android 20's head.
Caught off guard, Android 20 fell straight down from the sky.
However, Android 20 then stopped in mid-air and looked at Gohan in disbelief.
How did this kid find this place?
"Uncle Piccolo, are you alright?" Gohan asked with concern.
"It's alright, thank you for saving me, Gohan." Piccolo thanked him, panting heavily, clearly having lost a lot of energy.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The next moment, Vegeta and the others appeared around Android 20 in a circle.
Android 20's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Uncle Krillin, give Uncle Piccolo a Senzu Bean," Gohan said hurriedly.
"Here you go!" Krillin took out a Senzu Bean and tossed it to Piccolo.
Piccolo immediately took it and ate it.
"Whoosh!"
Piccolo descended from the sky and landed next to Android 20.
"Vegeta, I was supposed to deal with Android 19, but you meddled and wiped him out!" Piccolo snorted.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Vegeta chuckled softly.
"I'll handle this guy! You don't need to get involved this time!" Piccolo said coldly.
"Do as you please. Even if you give him all your energy, I'm not afraid!" Vegeta smiled confidently.
Without another word, Piccolo slammed his knee into Android 20's chin.
Android 20 was thrown backward and nearly fell to the ground.
Krillin and the others had already witnessed Piccolo's strength, so they weren't really surprised.
Android 20 flew into a rage and lunged at Piccolo with bared teeth and claws.
"Bang!"
Piccolo delivered a powerful elbow strike, slamming Android 20 down from the air.
Android 20 landed in the pile of rocks below, his face showing utter shock.
Why can't I beat him?
Didn't I absorb a lot of his energy?
How is this guy so strong?
Far away.
A red jet plane is flying in the sky toward the battle zone.
There were three people and a baby on the plane.
"Hey, you guys wanted to go see the androids... you should have said so earlier..." Yajirobe looked utterly miserable.
"Stop talking nonsense," Bulma snorted.
"We'll just take one look at the androids and then head back," Emily chuckled.
"What's so interesting? It's so dangerous..." Yajirobe wanted to cry.
Those two women are really bold.
Don't you know that androids are dangerous?
"Sizzle!"
With a sudden swing of his hand, Piccolo severed Android 20's arm with his palm.
Android 20 was shocked, his pupils filled with horror.
"Listen to me," Piccolo chuckled dismissively. "We can gain momentum during battle, what you call energy multiplication, and cause our aura to explode dramatically. Therefore, the energy you just stole from me wasn't much!"
"Great! We won!" Gohan was overjoyed, happy for his Uncle Piccolo.
"Bang!"
Piccolo delivered a flying kick, sending Android 20 flying through the air.
"Boom!"
Android 20 crashed into the rocks below, looking extremely disheveled.
That bastard!
I never expected... that Piccolo would possess such powerful energy.
"In the original timeline, we should have been wiped out by these two androids, but because of Luo Tian and Trunks, the future has changed," Piccolo chuckled. "Is it that you're not as strong as you imagined, or have we become stronger?"
"Great! We can defeat them even without Goku!" Krillin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Yeah, Dad's back and there's no use for me anymore," Gohan laughed.
"Although I don't like Piccolo and Vegeta's powerful energy, I'm finally relieved," Tien Shinhan said with a smile.
"That's great!" Yamcha smiled.
"Piccolo, finish him off already!" Vegeta snorted. "I can't stand your dawdling fighting style! Or are you going to show mercy and spare his life?"
"Of course I will kill him. I will show no mercy." Piccolo snorted.
Android 20 looked extremely unwell.
What to do?
I need to find a way to escape this place.
But how can we escape?
"Beep beep beep..."
Just then, Bulma and Emily's plane flew in from a distance.
"Idiots, don't come any closer!" Yajirobe panicked and hurriedly said.
"It's alright, everyone's alive, which means the battle is over." Bulma chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
"Bulma is right," Emily nodded.
Yajirobe burst into tears.
How dare you two women be so bold?
"Huh? Aren't those Bulma and Emily?" Krillin was taken aback.
Bulma and Emily waved to the people present.
"Hey! Look! That guy is an android! He's still there!" Yajirobe suddenly noticed Android 20 from the plane.
Bulma was also slightly taken aback, but immediately recognized Android 20's true identity.
Isn't that Dr. Gero?
"Perfect timing!" Dr. Gero roared. "I told you you had no chance of winning! Android 17 and Android 18 will wake up soon and come to kill you!"
Vegeta and the others present were stunned when they heard the news.
"Hey!"
Dr. Gero immediately unleashed a powerful burst of energy, which spread across the plane.
The scene was engulfed in a massive storm.
After the smoke gradually dissipated, Android 20 had disappeared.
Bulma used her body to shield Emily and Trunks in her arms.
"Emily, are you alright?" Bulma asked with some concern.
"She's such a good friend, protecting me and my child in such a dangerous situation." Emily breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"It's alright, I have Invisible Battle Suit made from the Cosmic Essence," Bulma smiled. "Its defensive capabilities are at the level of God of Destruction."
Vegeta: "..."
Emily: "???"
Emily couldn't understand.
"Damn it, we can't let him get away!" Vegeta searched everywhere for the androids.
"Hey, Vegeta! Didn't you see how dangerous I was?" Emily walked up to Vegeta angrily and scolded him.
"Hmph, if you hadn't come here for no reason, would the androids have been able to escape?" Vegeta said, looking annoyed.
"Is it my fault?" Emily's face showed anger.
"This is not the time to argue... I want to ask you something first, was that old man a homunculus?" Bulma asked.
"Huh? Yes." Krillin nodded.
"He might be Dr. Gero himself. I've seen his picture in a scientist's magazine," Bulma mused. "Has he already transformed himself into a android? Poor guy... It's a pity he didn't have the Cosmic Essence, otherwise he could have created an even more powerful android."
"Nobody cares about me..." Yajirobe lay among the broken stones, on the verge of tears.
"That android is Dr. Gero?" Vegeta was taken aback.
"He is a very famous scientist, a genius," Bulma guessed. "Perhaps he wanted to live in this world for a long time, so he modified himself."
"Really?" Krillin scratched his head.
"Didn't my future son say that Dr. Gero has been killed by the androids?" Vegeta snorted, indicating his disbelief.
"History has changed. After all, Goku has gone to the future, and according to Trunks, there is no Luo Tian in Trunks' future world." Piccolo pondered. "So I think, maybe Android 20 ... that is, Android 17 and Android 18, as Dr. Gero mentioned, are the two androids in Trunks' future world."
Everyone present fell silent.
After playing for so long, did you end up with nothing?
They did not fight against real androids.
"It's a pity Trunks didn't come back, so we don't know what Android 17 and Android 18 look like." Krillin shook his head.
"Tell me, where is Dr. Gero's research institute? He should have gone back to the institute!" Vegeta asked.
"It seems to be in the mountains near North City. It's said he converted the cave into a research institute. I wonder if it's still there now," Bulma replied after thinking for a moment.
"Then let's find a way to destroy his research facility before Dr. Gero returns to the facility to awaken Android 17 and Android 18," Piccolo suggested.
"Hmph, there's no need for that. I want to have a proper fight with them. Fighting those androids from before was pointless." Vegeta snorted, his expression growing increasingly disdainful.
"Call out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta transformed into a golden ray of light and swiftly soared into the sky.
"He flew away!" Tien Shinhan said.
"Vegeta has completely regained his confidence. After transforming into Super Saiyan, his energy level far surpasses that of Goku during his Planet Namek days, and his Destruction Energy has reached such a massive amount! Perhaps he really can defeat those two androids." Vegeta Piccolo, looking in the direction Vegeta had left. "Next, you guys should also go find Dr. Gero's lab! We should destroy the androids before they activate!"
Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and the others nodded in unison.
"Bulma, can you and Emily go back?" Krillin asked.
"Okay, my Invisible Battle Suit has the ability to fly." Bulma nodded. "Although my defense has reached the level of God of Destruction, I don't like fighting. Emily and I will head back first."
"Let's go," Piccolo urged.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Piccolo and the others soared into the sky at lightning speed.
Dr. Gero's research institute.
Luo Tian appeared at the entrance of the research institute.
Looking at the heavy metal door at the entrance of the research institute, Luo Tian simply waved his Scepter lightly.
"Smack!"
The metal door vanished in an instant, revealing a pitch-black cave.
Dr. Gero, who was moving quickly through the rocky area, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Smack!"
A heavy metal door fell from the sky and slammed down on Dr. Gero, pinning him underneath.
Dr. Gero: "???"
What's going on?
Who's throwing things at me?
It's the end of the month, so take out your monthly passes and stop hiding them...
