Trunks felt a surge of despair. He believed that his appearance must have changed history, not only allowing No. 18 to escape ahead of schedule, but also creating an unknown, powerful android.
Bulma had no idea that Trunks's "mother" was referring to her; she now only thought of Trunks as a problem child.
No. 18 snorted coldly, put one hand on his hip, and said...
"Are you crazy? You came right up here brandishing swords and knives. If there's a next time, I won't hold back!"
Trunks was startled, looked up, and said in disbelief,
"You... you're not going to kill me?"
"Why would I kill someone for no reason? Where did you come from? This is so bizarre!"
No. 18's face showed disgust. She retreated to Senga's side and completely ignored Trunks.
Trunks swallowed hard, momentarily confused.
Just then, several whooshing sounds rang out; Goku and his friends, including Vegeta, had arrived.
Frieza's spaceship had been blown to pieces by Senga, and Nappa's spherical spaceship was also damaged in that battle, which meant he was unable to leave Earth.
Because of Senga's presence, Vegeta dared not cause trouble, and had no choice but to live on Mount Paozu, living as a wild man for a period of time.
Goku and Gohan, father and son, are both very kind-hearted. Seeing that Vegeta eats raw meat all day long, they warmly invited Vegeta to stay at their home.
The arrogant Vegeta initially refused, until one day he smelled the aroma of food wafting from Chi-Chi's house, and the half-cooked piece of meat in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.
The rumbling in his stomach attracted Goku again, and with some coaxing, he was pulled into the house, where he "very reluctantly" ate dozens of large bowls of food.
From then on, Vegeta became a regular at Goku's house, and his appetite, which was no less than Goku's, often made Chi-Chi complain endlessly.
Upon seeing Senga, Vegeta's face showed a hint of awe. There weren't many people who could truly inspire awe in him; before, it was Beerus, and now it was Senga.
Goku, on the other hand, didn't stand on ceremony. He waved enthusiastically to Senga as soon as he saw him.
"Yo! Senga!"
Goku's smile was quite infectious, Senga returned the smile.
"Goku, we meet again."
Besides Senga, Trunks was the most eye-catching player on the field.
He was still in Super Saiyan form, his body gleaming with gold, making him impossible to miss.
Senga had previously given them a brief explanation of Super Saiyan, so Goku couldn't help but ask...
"This guy has a strong aura. Who is he? He looks a bit like that Super Saiyan you mentioned, Senga?"
Trunks had already confirmed Goku's identity from the conversation just now; he had also seen Goku's picture at Future Bulma's place.
He was about to speak when Senga interrupted him, saying...
"His name is Trunks, and he's a Saiyan from the future."
"From the future??"
Goku and the others all looked at Trunks in surprise. Trunks himself stared wide-eyed at Senga and couldn't help but ask,
"Who exactly are you? How do you know my background?"
His mind was a complete mess; he felt like he had stumbled into a fake future.
All the changes seemed to be due to the mysterious man in front of them, who was clearly the core figure among Goku's group.
Senga smiled slightly and said,
"I know far more than you can imagine..."
As he spoke, Senga paused for a moment, then suddenly said something that left everyone puzzled.
"Come out, how long are you going to hide?"
Goku and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and then began to sense their surroundings, but still found nothing.
Seeing that no one responded, Senga raised his hand and fired an energy blast at a boulder not far away.
The boulder instantly turned to dust, and a tall figure appeared and disappeared in the smoke.
As the smoke cleared, Bardos, holding a staff, appeared in everyone's sight.
Bulma pointed at Bardos and said with a surprised expression,
"Hey, this person looks a lot like the one who stood next to the God of Destruction the other day. Is she some kind of god too?"
Senga didn't respond. He squinted at Bardos and said,
"I wonder what the angels from Universe 6 want to do on Earth?"
Bardos maintained her smile, shrugged, and said,
"We know each other, for you to greet me like this right off the bat? Are you saying I'm not welcome at all?"
No. 18 raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Where did this vixen come from now?"
However, she also noticed Bardos's extraordinary qualities; her outfit, which was similar in style to Whis's, spoke volumes.
So she suppressed her displeasure and quietly stayed beside Senga, observing Bardos, trying to see what this guy was up to.
Senga hadn't expected Vados to come to Earth. The Angel race' ability to conceal their presence was unparalleled, and he hadn't even noticed Vados hiding there.
It wasn't until Senga revealed that Trunks had traveled through time that Vados's emotions fluctuated, causing her to emit a slight aura, which Senga noticed.
Senga knew that Vados must have come to Earth because of him. It wasn't that he was narcissistic; he simply couldn't think of anything about an "ordinary" little blue ball in the Universe 7 that could attract an angel from the Universe 6 to travel all this way.
After thinking for a moment, Senga spoke up.
"If you've come here hoping I'll become some kind of candidate God of Destruction, then you've probably come all this way for nothing. My answer is the same as last time: no."
Bardos sighed softly and said helplessly,
"Sigh! You really are a straight man, but that's not unexpected."
She wasn't new to Earth; she had been here for a while and had experienced life as a human being. The term "straight man" was something she learned from her experience.
It must be said that the rich and colorful life on Earth gave this angel a very novel feeling. For her, who had spent most of her time in the temple, this period of experience was really quite interesting.
Especially when it comes to food on Earth, it's no exaggeration to say that she has never eaten the same thing twice.
Reflecting on her experiences over the past few days, Bados smiled, a genuine smile that wasn't a professional fake.
Bardos shook her head. She looked at Trunks, her smile slowly fading, and an aura of authority emanated from her.
"By trespassing through time and space without authorization, do you realize the grave crime you have committed?"
