Vegeta's Fault Again!
Roland's figure appeared above the small hill. From above, a green lake and a simple cottage came into view. He descended and saw a man wearing a hat and dressed like a farmer watering the vegetables in his yard. Roland quickly determined that this was the person he was looking for.
His aura spread out, but he couldn't sense any trace of energy from the other person, which caught his attention.
"No energy aura, that's interesting." A hint of surprise appeared on Roland's face, and he flashed to the person's side.
"Who goes there?" Sensing someone approaching, the blonde girl's eyes suddenly sharpened like an eagle's. Turning around and seeing Roland, she immediately threw a punch. The sharp wind from the punch cut through the air with a whooshing sound, and the trees on both sides simultaneously tilted to the sides.
Faced with the blonde girl's indiscriminate attack, Roland reacted quickly. His eyes suddenly turned serious, and he raised both arms to his chest.
With a bang, the girl's attack was blocked, but Roland's body involuntarily retreated more than ten steps.
"Such powerful strength!" Roland was secretly shocked.
Although he didn't transform into Super Saiyan or use the power of his Golden Eyes, with his normal power level of over 20 million, no one on Earth should be able to force him to retreat. The girl in front of him was very strong, and for some reason, she gave him a sense of familiarity.
Seeing that Roland had blocked her attack, the blonde girl's already cold face became even colder. She licked her bright red lips and quickly stepped forward to launch her next attack.
Roland dodged the girl's attack by shifting her position, shouting, "Wait, I meant no harm... I just wanted to ask you about something!"
The girl, having missed her target, stopped, her face still showing vigilance as she stared at Roland with her blue eyes.
"Who are you, and why have you found me here?"
Roland said, "That's what I should be asking you. What exactly happened to Earth? Why does it seem like we've experienced the end of the world?"
"You didn't know?"
The blonde girl was puzzled. Then she noticed the tail around Roland's waist, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful pupils. "You're Saiyan! There are other Saiyan on Earth besides Trunks!"
The girl's words reassured Roland, and he asked, "You know about Saiyan and Trunks, so you should also know about Master Roshi and Bulma. Where are they now? And who are you? There shouldn't be any warrior on Earth as strong as you."
"It seems you really don't know anything. Let's put that aside for now. The shockwaves from our battle might have already attracted someone's attention. Anyway, let's get out of here." The blonde girl turned to leave the ravine. Roland asked, "Are you afraid someone will find you? Is it the person responsible for the current situation on Earth?"
"Yes, that guy's name is Android 13, and he's the most evil guy on Earth."
"Android 13?"
Roland muttered to himself, his mind drifting to Android 13. Could it be that Android 13 was the culprit behind Earth's current state?
This is completely different from what I expected; it seems I have entered a strange parallel world.
"You're moving too slowly. I'll take you with me."
As she spoke, Roland grabbed the blonde girl's hand. The blonde girl's wrist was suddenly grabbed, and her expression was about to change when she found that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed. She had arrived in an unfamiliar environment. All around her was a vast ocean, and they were standing on a brown reef.
The girl asked in surprise, "Where are we?"
Roland said, "It's a place 2000 kilometers away from your mountain valley."
"Amazing, how did you do that?"
Roland smiled without saying a word, not explaining the Instant Transmission to her, but instead sat down on the reef at his feet. "Now you can tell me, what exactly happened on Earth?"
The blonde girl frowned slightly, then sat down as well, her soft hair swaying gently in the sea breeze. "It all started 16 years ago, when the Earth was still very peaceful..."
The girl recounted her story in detail, and through the blonde girl's description, Roland gradually learned about what was happening on Earth.
Sixteen years ago, on a peaceful day, three beings called Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 suddenly appeared on Earth. They were evil Android created by Dr. Gero using a supercomputer, primarily to avenge Goku. However, after their creation Android 13 broke free from Dr. Gero's control and began wreaking havoc on Earth. At that time, Goku had already died of a heart attack, and the strongest warriors on Earth were Vegeta and Piccolo, among others. But even when Vegeta transformed into Super Saiyan, he was no match for the Android was quickly defeated.
Through the blonde girl's description, Roland learned what happened next. After Vegeta and his friends were defeated, Korin Tower and the Kami's Lookout were destroyed by the Android. Because there were no spaceships on Earth, the Android did not destroy Earth all at once, but all martial artists with even a little potential were hunted down and turned into energy batteries for Android 13.
Earth was thus transformed into Purgatory place.
Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Due to the lack of support from powerful warriors, there is no longer any peaceful land on Earth. In addition, as more and more Earthling join the ranks of the Android, the forces resisting the Android have become even weaker.
"... Ever since Son Gohan was killed by Android 13 two years ago, no one has been able to defy him. Although Trunks is still fighting, I think defeat is only a matter of time." The blonde girl's expression was indifferent, as if it were none of her business.
"So who are you?" Roland asked.
The blonde girl chuckled and replied, "Speaking of which, I'm also Android. My name is Android 18, and my Earthling name is Lazuli."
"Lazuli ..." Roland was shocked.
He carefully examined the blonde girl's face and realized that she did indeed resemble the little Lazuli he knew. However, her vulgar attire and cowboy hat concealed her stunning beauty, making him fail to recognize her at first glance.
Lazuli thought Roland was shocked by her identity, and said in a clear voice, "When Dr. Gero discovered that Android 13 and the others had betrayed him, he was furious. However, Android 13 was completely out of control, and he had no way to retaliate. So, he survived by chance and could only secretly hide to continue his research on Android. After Android 16 failed to be developed, Android 17 and I came into being..."
"By the way, Android 17 was my twin brother, who was killed by Android 13." Lazuli shrugged, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Isn't Android 17 the younger brother of Android 18? Here he's the older brother. What a chaotic parallel world.
"Is Android 13 really that strong? Logically speaking, if Dr. Gero wanted revenge, the subsequent Android should have been even stronger."
Lazuli's expression turned cold, and she said resentfully, "It's all because of that bastard Vegeta! When Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 first appeared, they weren't as strong as Super Saiyan. Vegeta had a chance to eliminate them, but that bastard arrogantly thought he had everything under control. He allowed Android 13 to absorb the energy cores and chips of Android 14 and Android 15, and as a result, Android 13 became Super 13, and even Super Saiyan were no match for him."
Roland was speechless after hearing this; in the end, it turned out that Vegeta was the one who caused the trouble.
This fits Vegeta's character perfectly; in the original story, he allowed Cell to evolve from his mature form to his Perfect Form, and in this parallel world, he created Super 13.
Based on the power levels of the parallel universe's Android, they should be slightly weaker than the Android in the main universe. Given Vegeta's personality, he probably wanted to play tricks on them. However, after absorbing two other Android, Android 13 actually became Super 13, with his power increasing dramatically.
Super 13 was likely no weaker than Cell in his prime or Android 16, so Vegeta overplayed his hand. Plus, Vegeta in this world didn't have Goku and Son Gohan's help, so the outcome was predictable.
Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Vegeta's talent for causing trouble is like an ancestral skill; it's the same no matter which world he's in.
Roland secretly kept a watchful eye on things.
Currently, all Earthling are being kept by Super 13 as nourishment to boost their energy, and their living conditions are extremely miserable. Perhaps even the Trunks world in the original comics wasn't this bad!
