The 21st Primarch
"This woman is very likely to be Android 21, or at least has a special relationship with Android 21." Roland had this guess in his mind, but unfortunately, because his body had not recovered, he could not sense the other party's strength by relying on her aura.
"Gurgle..." Roland's stomach growled with hunger, and she gave an awkward laugh.
Emma wasn't a petty woman. Seeing that Roland seemed hungry, she helped him out of the lab and went to prepare food for him. After all, it was normal for him to be hungry after being in the freezing cold for so long.
Seeing the delicious food served on the table, Roland prepared to eat heartily.
"Do I look a lot like one of your friends?" Emma asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand as she sat at the dining table. Roland was an important research subject for her, and knowing more about her would benefit her future research.
"Except for the hair color, they are exactly the same; her hair is blonde."
"I've never seen anyone who looks exactly like me." Emma squinted, not forgetting to take notes on Roland's condition with a pen and paper in her hand.
Roland glanced at her but ignored her, instead wolfing down his food. The Saiyan digestive system played a crucial role at this moment, digesting all the food into nutrients as soon as it entered his stomach. Gradually, as the food was digested, Roland's strength began to recover.
Is this Earth?
"Of course it's Earth." Emma bit her pen, then suddenly realized, "Judging from what you're saying, it seems like you're not from Earthling ..."
"I am Saiyan."
As his strength returned, Roland felt his power awakening. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air. With a burst of Mars flying from a metallic collision, he took out a bag of Senzu Bean from the Hyperdimensional Space. With a snap, the Senzu Bean were crushed, releasing a rich amount of Vital Energy.
Thanks to the miraculous effects of the Senzu Bean, Roland's body instantly returned to its peak condition, all his injuries disappeared, and he felt the changes in his body as a surge of energy resonated within him.
"How did you do that?" Emma stared at her, her eyes wide.
What did this man eat? His injuries vanished instantly. And let me tell you, after recovering, he exuded an extraordinary aura and an indescribable charm.
"These are called Senzu Bean. Eating just one can heal any injury and allow you to go ten days without food."
Emma's eyes immediately lit up with a research-oriented light.
"Show me!"
Roland smiled understandingly and handed over the Senzu Bean. By this time, his power had spread to every corner of the Earth. Major cities, including Korin Tower and the Kami's Lookout, were all under his scan. He also knew that the female researcher in front of him only had a combat power of 6 points, and was not Android 21 as he had previously guessed.
"This woman named Emma isn't Android 21, but rather the model for Android 21, the female researcher who bore Dr. Gero's child," Roland guessed.
Dr. Gero had a wife long ago, and both of them were sponsored by the Red Ribbon Army because they were outstanding scientists. They had a son, who was the prototype of Android 16. Later, due to an accident, Dr. Gero's wife and son died, and Dr. Gero created Android 16 and Android 21 in their appearance.
It's safe to say this is yet another parallel world.
Recalling his encounter with the God of Destruction Pomfrey, before he fell unconscious, Roland still felt a lingering fear.
The God of Destruction truly lives up to his reputation as a figure standing at the pinnacle of the universe; his power is simply too immense. In his hands, I had absolutely no ability to resist. If it weren't for the sudden burst of the Shenron power within me and the Deep Blue Crystal, I might have already been wiped out by him.
Speaking of the Deep Blue Crystal, Roland frantically checked it, only to find that the crystal had been lying peacefully in his private space at some point.
The crystal is covered with tiny cracks, and its smooth surface is no longer flat, making it look like it might fall apart at any moment.
"Thanks to it, we managed to block the God of Destruction's attack!" Roland examined the crystal, then carefully put it away. He continued to check his body and found that after this dangerous experience, his power had increased significantly, probably because he had released his accumulated strength during his near-death state.
"In terms of pure power, I'm probably close to the Super Perfect Cell, which is the Son Gohan during the Cell Games, but I'm still far from being God of Destruction."
An increase in strength is certainly something to be happy about, but this encounter was far too dangerous, and Roland doesn't want to experience it a second time.
If he hadn't previously wished for a chance to be resurrected, he would be dead by now, with no possibility of breaking through his strength. It's clear that preserving his life is absolutely necessary! However, judging from what the God of Destruction, Pomfrey, said when he killed him, this world absolutely forbids the appearance of the Dragon God Power. Once discovered, the God of Destruction will be sent to eliminate it.
It seems there's a strained relationship between this place and the Dragon God Zalama.
Because he didn't know if the world he was in was still under the jurisdiction of the previous God of Destruction, Roland felt it was best to be cautious for now and not to use the power of the Shenron within him lightly.
On the other side, Emma studied the Senzu Bean for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how this tiny bean could have the power to bring the dead back to life.
"Um, could you give me some of your beans? Just a few will do."
"This bag is for you, as a way of repaying your life-saving grace. Senzu Bean aren't that precious to me." Roland nodded. Thanks to the existence of the Sub-God Realm, he wasn't short of Senzu Bean at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Emma immediately broke into a bright smile and carefully stored the Senzu Bean away.
"Um..." Emma's bright blue eyes sparkled.
"Just call me Roland!" Roland said kindly.
"Roland, you just said you're Saiyan. What race is that? And why do you have a tail?"
"The Saiyan are a warrior race in the universe, living by conquering everywhere..." Roland explained some information about the Saiyan to Emma, and also talked about some other races in the universe. Emma became very excited after listening. For a researcher who had never left Earth, mastering this information was extremely meaningful.
"Emma, do you know someone named Dr. Gero?"
Emma brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and thought seriously, "I don't think there's a PhD named Dr. Gero in the Earth sciences community. Oh right, there is an intern named Dr. Gero in the north, who sometimes asks me questions about biological research."
"Is that so? Stay away from him in the future, or you'll suffer misfortune."
Roland wasn't surprised by Emma's answer. In fact, after guessing that Emma might be the model for Android 21, he knew that he was likely in a time many years before the Dragon Ball storyline began, but he still needed to confirm the exact time.
But he knew Emma would eventually die; after all, she had saved his life, and Roland didn't want her to die.
Emma paused for a moment, not thinking that Roland would lie to her. Besides, it was just about getting away from an intern researcher, not a big deal.
"Okay, I'll block him from now on," Emma replied seriously.
"Hmm." Roland nodded, then stepped out of the room and glanced at the scenery outside. This was a remote town with relatively pleasant scenery, making it a perfect place to retreat and focus on research.
