Cell
"Damn it, it actually wants to devour me and Android 17."
Upon learning that Cell's evolution required him to devour her and Android 17, Android 18 was furious, wishing she could find Cell immediately and tear him to pieces.
"Teacher, since Cell exists in the future world, does that mean we have Cell here too?" Android 17's face was grim. Anyone who knew that such a scheming guy existed and wanted to devour them would be in a bad mood.
Android 17's words caused Android 18's expression to change drastically; his sky-blue eyes darkened, and a flash of violent light appeared.
Roland shook his head and said, "No, I made a wish with the Dragon Ball a long time ago, forbidding anyone from researching Saiyan genes anymore, so theoretically Cell could not have been born. If Dr. Gero had conducted research, it would have failed for various reasons."
His eyes swept over Askari, who was holding Cell Eggshell. Askari noticed him and grinned. This little girl was one of the Saiyan who had slipped through the net during the genetic research.
But it's fortunate that she was born early, otherwise I wouldn't have such a lovely daughter.
At that moment, Android 16's calm voice rang out. "Dr. Gero did indeed study Saiyan cells, but all his efforts failed. He later turned to mechanical Android..."
"So, as long as we eliminate Cell, Android 17 and I will be safe."
A cold glint appeared in Android 18's eyes.
"Cell in his prime form is not to be underestimated either. Lazuli, before we eliminate him, you and Android 17 had better not leave my side," Roland said seriously.
Android 18 asked in surprise, "Teacher, is Cell stronger than us?"
"Cell, who just arrived in the Time Machine, isn't very strong because he's regressed into an egg. But once he absorbs enough life force to regain his strength, he will be stronger than any of you. Of the three of you, only Android 16 has the ability to contend with him," Roland explained Cell's situation.
"Cell is that powerful!" Android 18 was shocked, her face growing increasingly uneasy.
After fighting with Goku and his friends, Android 18 knew that Android 16's power was definitely greater than hers.
Askari asked curiously, "How powerful would Cell be if he became his Perfect Form?"
"Probably a little more powerful than Super Saiyan Full Power."
Roland made a rough estimate. Of course, this Super Saiyan Full Power refers to Goku's normal fighting power in the original work. If it were Askari or Sephiria, they wouldn't need to use Full Power to defeat Cell with their powerful normal power alone.
Perfect Cell has a power level of approximately 2.5 billion.
Comparable to Bojack back then.
"With so little power, there's nothing to worry about." Askari patted her chest, her small face radiating confidence. "Hehe, don't be afraid, Senior Sister, we'll protect you."
Android 18 smiled at Askari, her bright eyes sparkling, her demeanor serene and composed.
In the Kami's Lookout, Piccolo and Old Kami were also watching the situation in the lower realm. Upon learning of Cell's whereabouts, Old Kami's aged face showed some relief. "So that's how it is. My previous unease actually stemmed from that Android named Cell..."
"Old man, what are you talking about?" Piccolo looked at the Old Kami impatiently.
"Hehe." The Old Kami chuckled with relief, now completely free of burdens. "You'll understand after the fusion."
"Then hurry up." Piccolo frowned.
"Don't rush, let me say my final goodbye."
The Old Kami chuckled, then strolled around the Kami's Lookout, seemingly recalling his experiences over the past few centuries. With a long sigh, he slowly merged with Piccolo...
"So that's how it is, Android, the Cell."
"The Earth is still really unstable!" Piccolo, who had merged with the Old Kami, had many more memories and his eyes had become more weathered. Feeling the vast and surging power in his body, Piccolo's lips curled up slightly, and he was filled with confidence once again.
At this point, he felt that even Android 17 and Android 18 from before were no match for him.
After venting his anger in the hilly terrain, Vegeta trained hard again. Just then, a powerful aura came from the west, and Vegeta's expression grew even more somber.
A few hours earlier, when Askari's Super Saiyan 2 aura emanated from her, it made it hard for him to breathe. However, knowing that she was the princess of the Saiyan race, Vegeta felt a mix of resentment and pride.
But now, Piccolo's aura was even stronger than his, which was hard for him to accept.
"Damn it, how could this happen? He's just a Namekian, yet he's become stronger than me!"
Vegeta was ashen, his voice icy. He could accept being Super Saiyan Beyond of his own race, even if it was Goku; he would only feel resentment. But he would never accept it from anyone else.
"Vegeta, I've finally found you." Goku's figure suddenly appeared beside Vegeta.
"Kakarot, what do you want with me?" Vegeta asked Goku in a cold voice.
Goku said, "I've come to learn from you."
"Cultivation?"
"Yes."
Goku's expression turned serious, and he said, "You should have sensed it; Piccolo's ki has also become stronger. Ordinary Super Saiyan are already lagging behind, but I know a place where we can become stronger much faster."
Vegeta's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, "Where?"
"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber allows one to cultivate for a year, while only one day passes outside. The only limitation is that a person can only enter for two days in their lifetime."
"There really is such a place." Vegeta's eyes lit up when he heard about it; what he needed most right now was time to catch up.
"But to defeat the Android, an ordinary Super Saiyan isn't enough."
Goku had anticipated this response and laughed heartily, "I know that improving one's base power isn't easy, and a major breakthrough isn't possible anytime soon. But we can try to surpass Super Saiyan and achieve an even more powerful transformation. I think if we train together, our progress will definitely be faster."
"Why not go find your daughter, or the Saiyan from Planet Sadala? They would be better training partners, wouldn't they?"
Goku said somewhat embarrassedly, "Their power is far too advanced. It's best to have someone of equal strength for sparring. You and I are about the same strength, and we both have a strong desire to become stronger, so you're the perfect match."
"Hmph, to be surpassed by one's own daughter..."
Vegeta's lips curled into a smile. "But Kakarot, you've finally shown some intelligence. You're right, since Super Saiyan are no match for Android, then we'll surpass Super Saiyan..."
"Tell me, where is that 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber'?"
"Yes, it's on the Kami's Lookout."
Evening, at Roland's home.
After investigating the Time Machine in the western region, Roland immediately had Bulma put Time Machine away, then warned everyone to be careful of Cell's Instant Transmission everyone back home.
After dinner, Bulma went straight back to her home in West City. Roland's villa had many rooms, Trunks was not suitable to go back with Bulma, so he stayed at Roland's house for the time being. Also staying there were Android 17, Android 18, and Android 16.
"Trunks, be careful of Cell. We've already killed the Android in your area. Once Cell comes out, he'll definitely try to get his hands on the Time Machine in order to become the Perfect Form," Luo Fei warned.
"Thank you, I understand."
Trunks nodded seriously, a murderous intent rising within him. Cell's existence posed a threat to the future world, and he would never allow the hard-won peace to be threatened again.
The most urgent task is to increase his strength. According to the time shown on the Time Machine, Cell will kill him and steal the Time Machine in three years. Trunks only has three years left, and he must become stronger during this time.
In the courtyard, Roland and Sephiria sat in the pavilion, with Launch and Tights sitting opposite them. Askari sat on Roland's lap, her chin resting on the table. Bored, she flicked a large watermelon on the table with her finger, smacked her lips, and licked her lips.
At that moment, numbers Android 18 and Android 17 walked over together.
After kneading and pinching for a while, Android 18 was pushed from behind by Android 17 and came to stand in front of Roland.
With a slightly flushed face, Android 18 said in a clear voice, "Teacher, is there any way for us to become stronger quickly? We don't want to be constantly on guard against Cell's attacks."
Life-threatening situations are indeed the greatest motivation.
Roland smiled and gestured for them to find a seat. "You don't have Cell's ability to absorb life essence. If you want to become stronger, there's nothing you can do but cultivate. Hmm, as long as you can endure the loneliness, I can take you somewhere. Of course, Askari, Luo Fei, Trunks can come along too."
There are no restrictions on the number of people allowed in that place.
