A Clever Method

After returning from North Kai Planet, they told Son Gohan what had happened on New Planet Namek. When they learned that the Namekian had once again encountered a great calamity, everyone's spirits plummeted. This undoubtedly poured cold water on their newly ignited hopes and dealt a huge blow.

Unexpectedly, even the New Planet Namek has met with misfortune. Could it be true, as North Kai said, that using the Dragon Ball too much brings bad luck?

A gloomy atmosphere hung over everyone's hearts.

After much deliberation, Bulma decided to continue her research on the Time Machine.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Even if this world loses the Dragon Ball, other worlds surely do. As long as Gohan gets back in the Time Machine, there's still hope for resurrection. Even if changing parallel worlds can't save this place, it can at least prevent one world from disaster."

"Bulma is right. If we can travel back to before the Android appeared, everything can still be changed," Master Roshi encouraged everyone.

"But what about the Android here?"

Trunks was somewhat downcast. The difficulties had to be faced eventually. Super 13 was a mountain standing in their way, and if they couldn't overcome it, the future would be bleak.

Roland said, "I originally planned to teach you a Fusion Technique after Son Gohan's resurrection to defeat Super 13. This secret technique allows two warriors to temporarily fuse into one, increasing their power several times over within half an hour. Neither Super 13 nor anything else would be a match for them. But it seems that won't work now."

Upon hearing Son Gohan's eyes lit up. "Mr. Roland, could you and Trunks train this secret technique together?"

"No, the requirements for Fusion Technique are extremely high. We must maintain the same pace and the same intensity of aura. My Super Saiyan power is different from yours, so I cannot fuse with Trunks." Roland shook his head. Son Gohan and Trunks are both Half-Saiyan, so fusion would be more suitable for them.

Roland's power is not in harmony with Trunks'.

Of course, none of these are the main points. The main point is that Roland's Super Saiyan power contains the power of Great Ape. If we're talking about fusion, the most suitable candidate for him would be either Sephiria or Broly. Of course, Sephiria can be ruled out since she is female, so Broly is the only suitable candidate left.

Son Gohan nodded silently after listening.

There are only a handful of Super Saiyan on Earth right now. If neither Roland nor he can do it, then there are no other options.

Even if he could actually fuse with Trunks, Roland wouldn't do it. Wouldn't it be better to use the time he had to practice Fusion Technique with Trunks to break through to the current Super Saiyan level? In any case, it's all about increasing power. Roland is only a little bit away from the "Beyond" stage of Super Saiyan, and breaking through would just take a little more time.

He prefers to control his own power rather than to gain it through fusion.

The scene fell silent as everyone was troubled by the current situation. At this moment, Taishang Laojun broke the silence, instructing Bulma to continue her research on the Time Machine. He then entrusted Roland to teach Trunks the Fusion Technique in case of emergency. Roland, of course, had no objections and generously explained the steps of the Fusion Technique.

Of course, Roland wouldn't personally practice those comical dance steps; he simply hand-drew several sketches and marked the key points to pay attention to on them.

When Trunks saw the comical dance steps required to perform the Fusion Technique, his face turned red, but for the future of the entire Earth, he had no choice but to steel himself and learn them with a conflicted expression.

"When casting the Fusion Technique, in addition to being in sync, you also need to adjust your aura to the same intensity, otherwise the Fusion Technique will fail and it will take half an hour to recover. You need to remember this."

Roland tapped on the panel, instructing Trunks to practice the movements shown on it.

Seeing Trunks' clumsy dance moves, Roland found it somewhat amusing and said to Son Gohan, "You should learn them too; you might need them sometime."

Son Gohan took a deep breath and nodded. Bulma's Time Machine development was nearing completion; the only thing lacking was energy. He still had eight years before reincarnating, enough time to wait until the Time Machine was put into use.

Roland knew that according to the original storyline, the Time Machine should have been officially put into use when Trunks turned 17. However, many aspects of this world were inconsistent with the storyline he knew, so he couldn't guarantee when it would be usable. Therefore, he didn't mention the Time Machine much.

Suddenly, Roland said, "To truly defeat Super 13, you and Trunks must meet the conditions for fusion, or my strength must break through to a higher level. But if we only want to prevent Super 13 from harming Earth, there are actually other ways."

Upon hearing this, Son Gohan stared at Roland in astonishment.

A smile appeared on Roland's calm face as he said, "The only threat Super 13 poses to Earth is his presence here; let him leave."

Son Gohan frowned. "Super 13 won't leave obediently. The reason Earth still exists is because Super 13 can't leave. Once he finds a way to leave Earth, it will probably be destroyed in an instant. According to Korin's observation, Android 13's spaceship is under development..."

At this point, Son Gohan suddenly stopped, as if he understood something, and looked at Roland with a look of surprise.

"I understand, Mr. Roland, you possess the ability to travel through the stars!"

Roland smiled and nodded slightly, "That's right, I can grab Super 13 and leave Earth."

Son Gohan wasn't blinded by joy; he cautiously asked, "Is this plan feasible?"

"As long as a suitable landing planet is found in advance, we are fully confident that we can take Super 13 there."

Although his power is somewhat inferior to Super 13's, if he can use Instant Transmission when the opponent is unprepared, Super 13 should be unable to resist. If all else fails, he also has a skill called "Evil Containment Wave," which is used to deal with the Demon Clan, but it should have no problem sealing Android.

At this moment, Son Gohan's hope was rekindled, and he bowed deeply to Roland.

"Mr. Roland, I entrust everything to you. Please use your power for the sake of Earth."

"This is only a temporary solution. To truly protect our home, we still need real strength. We need to break through to the Super Saiyan level."

"Yes!" Son Gohan nodded vigorously.

He is no longer the young Son Gohan who only wanted to become a scholar. After so many years of training, he has truly experienced the power of strength. If he had followed his father Goku to train hard since childhood, his strength might have made great progress in the years after returning from Planet Namek, and he wouldn't have wasted so many years later.

"Don't tell anyone about it yet."

Son Gohan thought that he should share his joy with everyone after he succeeded, so as not to be disappointed again.

Roland waved to Son Gohan, then teleported towards the city where Super 13 was located. Because he couldn't pinpoint Super 13's exact location, he returned to Central City, to the same arena as before.

When Roland returned to this place, he found that the scene before him had completely changed. The original arena had disappeared, and even half of the entire city had been reduced to ruins.
