So You're Lazuli!

"So, we're not the enemy?"

In the Kami's Lookout, Krillin, who had just awakened, learned from Chi-Chi about the relationship between the Android and Roland, and his face was filled with disbelief. Who would have thought that such a powerful Android would be Roland's disciple?

Chi-Chi said, "Yes, I was also shocked when I first found out, but this means the crisis on Earth is over, which is a blessing in disguise."

"The Android are too terrifying. I didn't even have a chance to react before they knocked me unconscious." Krillin's neck still ached slightly as he recalled the flying kick he received before losing consciousness.

How could such a delicate-skinned girl be so ruthless!

"In truth, they've already shown mercy. If they really wanted to kill us, it would be easier than crushing an ant."

Tien Shinhan sighed, his expression somewhat grave.

"After all, even Goku, who transformed into Super Saiyan, couldn't force them to use their full power. We're too far behind them!"

Krillin looked somewhat dejected.

Anyone who has cultivated for so many years, only to find that they cannot even withstand a single blow from Android, would begin to doubt their long-held beliefs. However, those present were all top-tier martial artists from Earth, with extremely firm wills. After a brief period of despondency, they quickly rallied.

Earthling may not have the same potential as Android and Saiyan, but as long as they possess an indomitable and strong heart, they can still take firm steps to continuously become stronger.

Looking around but not seeing Android, Krillin asked, "Where have the Android gone?"

"After sending you back to the Kami's Lookout, they followed Roland to his villa."

"Oh!"

Krillin paused for a moment, then shook his head. The Android 18 and the others were originally Roland's apprentices. After recognizing each other, they had nowhere to go, so they simply went to Roland's place temporarily.

Perhaps it also implies disciplining them.

"Where are Vegeta and Goku? Did they go too?"

"No, Vegeta went completely mad after being defeated by the Android. He disappeared somewhere, and I haven't been paying attention. As for Goku, he seems to be deep in thought and is currently meditating in the training room at the Kami's Lookout."

A pleasant voice rang out, and Suno's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Vegeta's personality is too unpredictable. Oh well, as long as he doesn't threaten Earth's safety, let him be."

Speaking of Goku, Krillin laughed and said, "That Goku guy must have had some kind of enlightenment. He always improves after every battle, and this time will definitely be no exception!"

"They're a fighting nation after all!"

"Don't underestimate yourselves. In my opinion, you are already very good. Although Earthling's physical abilities cannot compare to Saiyan, we also have our advantages. Martial arts training has never been about being competitive; there are many more things worth exploring."

"Enhancing our strength is not our goal; what we should pursue is self-transcendence."

The Old Kami's words awakened everyone, and they all suddenly realized the truth.

Earthling martial arts possess unique connotations, and their mental cultivation has its own distinctive aspects. If they persist, they are no less capable than others. Although this may seem somewhat self-deceptive, the results are undoubtedly excellent.

After learning that the Android would not threaten Earth's safety, Krillin no longer felt the previous sense of crisis and chatted and laughed with everyone. Suddenly, his phone rang. After apologizing to everyone, Krillin went to a corner and quietly chatted with the person on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Krillin, beaming, said goodbye to everyone and then hurriedly left.

"What's the matter that Krillin is in such a hurry to leave?" Tien Shinhan asked.

Chi-Chi smiled and said, "I know that. I saw him shopping with a girl not long ago. They looked very intimate. She must know what's going on here, so she called to check on Krillin."

"Krillin has a girlfriend?"

Tien Shinhan asked with a surprised look.

"It's that Ranfan."

"Ranfan, oh, she's the woman who got knocked off the stage by Krillin with one punch at the World Martial Arts Tournament." Tien Shinhan recalled, remembering something from more than ten years ago.

"It wasn't just the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament; Ranfan was also eliminated by Krillin in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. That's what you call 'no fight, no friendship,' and it left a deep impression on me."

"I don't understand." Tien Shinhan shook his head. Having always lived an ascetic life with Chiaotzu, he was clueless about women's thoughts.

He then took his leave.

"Now that there are no problems with the Android, I should head back."

After greeting Chi-Chi and the others, Tien Shinhan nodded to Old Kami and Mr. Popo, then returned to the mortal realm with Chiaotzu.

After Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Krillin left one after another, Chi-Chi and Suno went to instruct the martial artists in the Kami's Lookout. Piccolo stood in front of the Old Kami, hesitant to speak, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Old man, it's time for us to reunite."

"Yes, that's right. What Earth lacks now isn't Kami, but powerful warriors. Chi-Chi and Suno are doing a great job as Kami, and Dende has mastered the Dragon Ball manufacturing technique. I can finally let go of everything."

"Although Goku and Bulla are both powerful warriors, I've always had a sense of unease in my heart."

"This unease has become even stronger, especially after you returned from Namek. I used to think it stemmed from the Saiyans and Frieza, but after speaking with the Namekian elder, I realized the situation might not be what I thought."

The Old Kami's aged face showed a solemn expression. After the Grand Elder came to Earth, they had a long meeting.

The Namekian Grand Elder possessed a certain ability to foresee the future. He foresaw that Earth would face another crisis and that he and Piccolo would one day reunite.

With a hint of relief on his face, the Old Kami said, "Piccolo, your transformation has actually surprised me quite a bit."

"What did you and the Grand Elder talk about?"

Piccolo frowned, somewhat displeased.

The Old Kami chuckled, "You'll understand later. Don't worry, after we merge again, I will only become your power and experience, making up for the part of your missing potential. It won't affect your personality."

"Hmph, you'd better not try anything funny!"

A hilly area surrounded by towering peaks.

Vegeta roared in fury, unleashing a torrent of violent and restless energy. Rumble... Boom! A gigantic sphere of light, as large as the sun, rose up, instantly evaporating everything in the air.

"Damn it, what kind of Android? How could it be stronger than me!" Vegeta roared in resentment, a cold glint flashing in his emerald eyes.

A Super Saiyan, his arm was broken by a woman.

Unforgivable!

He considered defeat in battle a disgrace.

"Android 17, Android 18, I will definitely surpass you." Vegeta gritted his teeth, his bloodied voice squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with murderous intent.

West City, Roland's villa on Earth.

After recognizing Roland, Android 17 and Android 18 were brought here. At this moment, Android 18 was restless and was being carefully observed by a blonde beauty. Tights rested her chin on her hand and circled around Android 18 as if examining a work of art, muttering to herself from time to time.

"So you're Lazuli, Roland's apprentice from a long time ago. Hmm, you're really beautiful."

"Roland told me before that he would bring me to meet you, but he never did."

"Android, there's absolutely no sign of modification." He reached out and ruffled Android 18's fine, flowing hair, then pinched her fair cheek. It was so soft and delicate, almost translucent, that he couldn't bear to part with it.

Tights was quite fond of the girl who resembled her somewhat.

"Actually, my body is still that of Earthling, except that my cells have some nanoscale energy devices."

"Oh, so that means you can have children too?" Tights's beautiful eyes lit up, as if she had found inspiration for her writing from Android 18.

"This... is fine."

Android 18 blushed and answered Tights's question with embarrassment but politeness. This woman was also her teacher's wife. Although she had a carefree personality and didn't seem to have much strength, she couldn't be easily offended in order to integrate into her teacher's family.

"Alright, Tights, if you act like this, Lazuli will feel embarrassed," the gentle and virtuous Launch said softly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just can't help but want to figure out new things when I see them, hehe!" Tights chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.

The women of the Briefs family possessed an enduring youth; the passage of time seemed to stand still for them, leaving no trace of age. Standing before Android 18, the two looked like sisters.

"..."

Android 18, unsure what to say, gave Launch a grateful look, thinking to himself, "Could this pretty blue-haired lady also be my teacher's wife? Just how many wives does this teacher have?!"
