Monster in the Small Town

"Is Daddy talking about the tower on Planet Metamor?"

Hearing that it was a place specifically for training, Askari reflexively thought of the Mefilada Tower on the Planet Metamor.

"No, I'm referring to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the Kami's Lookout," Roland said with a faint smile.

Askari paused for a moment, then said, "But isn't the Hyperbolic Time Chamber only for two people at a time, and there's a time limit? Once the time is up, you can't get out."

"Normally, that's how it is, but ultimately, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is just a Dimensional Space. As long as it's a space, it has a limit. Even if the spacetime gate is closed, as long as you have enough power, you can use brute force to break through the space and come out."

"It's just that the space within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is relatively sturdy, making it difficult for ordinary people to break through."

Roland wore a faint smile.

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber's spatial limits cannot withstand the power of Majin Buu. Once someone reaches the Majin level, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's so-called rules and restrictions become meaningless. In the later stages, Vegeta and Goku could stay inside for as long as they wanted, completely at their own discretion.

Unfortunately, Roland now possesses such power as well.

Roland's words were quite shocking. Luo Fei and Askari were stunned for a moment. Trunks, who was unaware of the characteristics of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, was rather puzzled as to why Luo Fei and the others had such expressions.

Android 18 asked Askari in a low voice, "What is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

Askari pursed her lips and her clear voice rang out as she introduced the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to Android 18. When Android 18 learned that there was such a magical place on the Kami's Lookout, her cute little mouth opened wide, and her face was filled with excitement.

This is like a pillow arriving just when you're trying to sleep!

"There's such a magical place on the Kami's Lookout? Does that mean we can cultivate inside forever and become stronger in a very short time?" Android 18 said excitedly.

"No way, it's too lonely inside, I can't stand it." Askari shook her head like a rattle-drum.

The pressure and heat Hyperbolic Time Chamber didn't frighten Askari, but the emptiness inside was unsettling. The vast expanse of white, empty space was unimaginable, and staying inside was pure torture.

"Askari, you're going in this time too. I'll be watching you."

Sephiria looked over sternly. This time, in addition to checking her daughter's progress over the past few years, she also wanted to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to sort out her cultivation gains on the Planet God-Killer.

"Ah, oh..." Askari's face fell immediately upon hearing this, and she gave a dejected "oh," not daring to refute Sephiria's words.

"Sister Askari, didn't you always say you wouldn't grow tall? Stay inside for two years, and you'll grow taller in no time," Bulla said with a grin, making a circle with his arms outstretched.

Askari paused for a moment, then realized, "Right, I'm 16 now. If I stay inside for two more years, I'll be an adult soon."

Askari's slender body had always troubled her. Despite her age, she was shorter than Bulla. Askari longed to grow up as soon as possible.

Her two small eyes darted around, cautiously glancing at the stunningly beautiful and graceful Sephiria beside her. Her slender and alluring figure was clearly captivating, and Askari was immediately encouraged.

I look about 70-80% like my mother, so I'm sure I'll be just as charming when I grow up.

Askari thought happily, and suddenly felt that the loneliness in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wasn't so unbearable after all.

"Dad, I've decided, I'll stay in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber until I grow up!" Askari shouted, tilting her head back.

"Whatever you like." Roland raised her hand and pinched Askari's cheek.

Tights chuckled, finding Roland and Askari amusing. "You two are so alike. Roland spent two years inside before he even reached adulthood."

"Really?" Askari's eyes lit up.

That's right.

Roland chuckled, not denying it. He had spent his time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber partly to increase his power and partly to marry Tights as soon as possible. Speaking of which, he had also won over his sister Sephiria during that time when they were alone.

Seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"You all get ready, we'll go to the Kami's Lookout tomorrow," Roland said decisively, making the decision.

"OK."

"I'm really looking forward to it." Android 18's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she smiled happily.

Android 17, Trunks, and the others nodded in agreement, especially Trunks, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.

The next day.

Roland and Sephiria led the group to the Kami's Lookout, only to be told by Chi-Chi that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was being used by Goku and Vegeta.

"That guy Goku also thought of this." Roland was surprised for a moment, but then felt it was only natural.

Having witnessed the power of Android 18 and his team, Goku has no reason not to strive harder. Perhaps when they emerge, they will surpass Super Saiyan or even reach Super Saiyan Full Power.

"Since Goku and the others are using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, let's all train in the Kami's Lookout first."

"Mr. Goku and Vegeta actually got there first."

Trunks looked surprised, thinking of his mother's evaluation of Goku, and couldn't help but think: As expected of the person his mother placed her hopes on, he found a way to become stronger so quickly. If only the Goku in his world hadn't died of a heart attack!

Calling everyone over, Roland softly asked Chi-Chi, "Yesterday I sensed Piccolo's aura had increased significantly. Could it be that Piccolo and Old Kami...?"

"Yes, Old Kami has already merged with Piccolo and left the Kami's Lookout before you arrived. He must have gone to find Cell."

Chi-Chi nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

From the time she and Suno were chosen as the successors of the Kami when they were young, they had been receiving guidance from the Old Kami. Although they knew that the Old Kami had not disappeared, but had changed his form of existence, his disappearance still made them feel as if they had lost a family member.

Roland remained silent. With the changing environment, what Earth lacked was powerful warriors, and he knew that Piccolo's fusion with the Old Kami was only a matter of time.

While Roland and his companions were waiting for Goku to emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, in a small town in the lower realm...

An unusual silence fell over the room.

On the street, clothes lay scattered haphazardly on the ground. Strangely, these clothes were all in sets, and upon closer inspection, a layer of dried human skin could be seen underneath each garment...

A gust of wind blew, and clothes swayed in the breeze, filling the air with a deathly stillness.

"Aaaaaah..." A desperate scream rang out in the street. A chubby man was struggling on the ground. On his back, a cicada-like monster covered in green spots had plunged a sharp tail into the man's spine, sucking the essence from his body.

The chubby man wailed in agony, his cheeks began to shrink until only a human skin remained.

"Hehe, once I regain my original power, I can go find Android 17 and Android 18. The Android 17 and Android 18 in this world are still intact. The computer tells me that as long as I absorb the energy of Android 17 and Android 18, I can evolve into my ultimate Perfect Form. I can't wait!"

The monster, covered in spots, emitted a hoarse sound from its throat; its vertical pupils were filled with madness, devoid of any humanity.

This cicada-like creature is Cell, the Android who traveled from a parallel world in Time Machine.

Because of time travel, we are currently in a state of energy depletion.

In his time, when he emerged from the incubation chamber, Android 17 and Android 18 had already been killed by Trunks. In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish of evolving into his Perfect Form, he specifically stole Time Machine and traveled from a parallel world to devour Android 17 and Android 18.

"Earthling's energy is really too small, but it's better than nothing, let's absorb some more."

Cell strives with great hope to become the Perfect Form.

"Huh!"

Cell raised his head, his golden vertical pupils gazing into the distance, where a faint energy was approaching him.

"Is that Piccolo's aura? Although he's concealed it, besides Saiyan and Frieza cells, I also have Namekian cells in my body. Hehe, my energy hasn't fully recovered yet, now is not the time to meet them."

Cell for a moment, then abandoned all other life in the town, concealed his presence, dug a hole in the ground, and disappeared inside.

Shortly after Cell disappeared, Piccolo appeared in the sky above the town, wearing a cloak.

Looking down at the corpses lying haphazardly, reduced to mere skin, Piccolo's face darkened with rage. "Damn it! Cell, the Android! He got away!"
