Someone Needs to Be Taught a Lesson

"Android 18 is right. We should focus on searching for Cell and leave the rest to Goku and the others. There's no need to create trouble for ourselves." Android 17 nodded in agreement.

His personality was even colder than Android 18's; he didn't care about anything except things closely related to himself.

The safety of Earth is none of his concern. There are so many other experts on Earth besides them. Even if King Cold comes from another world, he can't cause any trouble.

Even if Goku and Trunks can't stop King Cold, their teacher is still there. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. With the teacher's strength, it's King Cold who should be worried.

Aside from hunting Android, Cell Android 17 had no other thoughts on her mind at this moment.

In another world, we should be grateful if they don't harm ordinary people.

The small truck sped along the wide road. As it headed west, the road gradually narrowed and the solid asphalt road turned into an uneven gravel road. Accompanied by the hum of the car engine, billowing yellow sand rose up in a long snake behind the truck.

Android 18 put on a pair of sunglasses and listlessly looked out the window.

By this time, Android 16 was driving the car, while Android 17 was leaning back in the back seat, hugging his chest and dozing off.

Suddenly, Android 16 jerked the steering wheel, the car lurched violently, went over a large pothole, and left a long skid mark on the gravel road with a "whoosh".

"What's going on? Android 16!" Android 17 woke up with a start.

Android 16 parked the car and gazed into the distance. "The battle on Goku's side has been getting increasingly intense since it started."

"It's such a small matter, there's no need to react so strongly."

I'll just give a casual reply on the Android 17 if I don't care.

"King Cold's aura has increased significantly, surpassing mine," Android 16 muttered to himself.

"Oh!"

Android 18 was somewhat surprised. He closed his eyes to sense the surroundings, and soon a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"Goku and the others are still playing around; they haven't used their full strength at all."

Android 17 also followed up with the probe and indeed found that King Cold's energy had increased significantly compared to before, reaching a combat power of 2 billion. However, given Trunks' attitude towards Android, he shouldn't have shown any mercy.

Upon closer inspection, a cold smile appeared on his face.

It turns out that Trunks was being held back by Vegeta, and now it's Goku fighting King Cold.

"Tsk, Saiyan' aloof nature always leads them to do such pointless things. Aren't they afraid of being caught off guard and losing their lives?" Android 17 shook his head. If it were him, he would have launched a full-force attack the moment he spotted the enemy.

Trunks must be furious!

"Isn't this exactly what Saiyan love to do!" Android 18 chuckled, covering her mouth.

She was desperately trying to eliminate the hidden dangers, but the people around her were always dragging her down and giving the enemy free rein. She could imagine how angry Trunks must be right now.

Sometimes, Android 18 is quite disdainful of the Saiyan's methods.

Despite possessing immense power, they always prefer to hold back, using low-level combat strength for so-called probing. What's the point? This is a battle concerning the life and death of the planet, not some World Martial Arts Tournament. Defeating the enemy is the priority. Waiting until they are severely injured before unleashing their full power is the most foolish approach.

Saiyan are not Android; their normal power is their greatest weakness. Against a smarter opponent, there are ways to launch a fatal attack before they can even transform.

"Huh, King Cold's energy has increased again, reaching the same level as Goku."

Suddenly, Android 16 said in a serious tone.

"2.5 billion combat power?"

Android 18's smile vanished, her beautiful brows furrowed, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "Super Saiyan Full Power! What are Goku doing?!"

"Heh, the more you fight the enemy, the stronger they get. I heard from Bulla that Frieza transformed three times on Planet Namek, so this King Cold must have transformed too!"

"I've never heard of King Cold being able to transform..." Android 18 said, biting her nails.

Android 17 sneered, "They've all become Android now, so their transformation abilities might have been developed too. Heh, Android with unlimited energy, they're in for a rough time now."

Android 16 turned around and asked, "Should we go and help them?"

Android 17 leaned back in the back seat, head in his hands, eyes closed, and sneered, "Don't bother with them. They brought this on themselves; we don't have that much free time!"

Asking him to clean up other people's messes? Does he have nothing better to do?

"Yeah, killing is bad, it affects the surrounding environment." Android 16 nodded and said something out of the blue.

Therefore, we are pacifists.

Android 18 giggled, her smile as ethereal as smoke, her eyes sparkling with captivating charm, utterly enchanting.

On the Kami's Lookout.

Chi-Chi looked at the situation in the lower realm with a dark expression. Anger flashed across her fair and delicate face as she gritted her teeth and said, "I knew Vegeta would cause trouble. He actually stopped Trunks from making a move. Now King Cold's power has surpassed theirs."

"King Cold in his Ultimate Form looks more mature than Frieza, but the power boost from his transformation isn't as dramatic."

Roland stroked his chin, observing King Cold's power.

Shaking his head slightly with regret, King Cold's improvement was utterly pathetic compared to Frieza's; his two transformations only increased his power level from 1.2 billion to 2.5 billion. But thinking about it, it makes sense. Frieza's transformations were essentially releasing the power sealed within him, while King Cold truly increased his power through transformation.

Well, the improvement isn't much, but it's much better than Zarbon's transformation.

The only commendable thing about King Cold is that he has unlimited energy and doesn't have to worry about running out of it. Because he was transformed into Android, King Cold also possesses the same physical characteristics as Android 17 and Android 18.

The battle in the lower realm is ongoing. Super Saiyan are warriors with an initial burst of power, and they are at their most formidable at the very beginning of the battle.

Soon, the Super Saiyan's power began to run out. At this point, Goku and Vegeta were panting heavily, and their bodies became heavy. In contrast, King Cold remained calm, his cold face filled with killing intent, and he showed no signs of weakness.

"Damn it, King Cold is in the same state as Frieza, that's incredible!" Goku gasped for breath. "Vegeta, how much longer can you hold on?"

"I'm almost out of breath."

Vegeta's face was pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"You shouldn't have stopped me! Now that the Android have transformed, what are we supposed to do?!" Trunks glared angrily at Vegeta.

"..."

Hearing Trunks' complaints, Vegeta's expression darkened further, and he regretted blocking Trunks instead of eliminating King Cold immediately.

Opposite them, King Cold in his Ultimate Form stood with his hands behind his back, his cold, demonic eyes looking down at Goku and his companions with disdain.

"Haha, so you're already done for? Where did your arrogance go? Didn't you say you were going to kill me? Why are you so weak now?"

"Don't be so smug, King Cold!!" Vegeta roared angrily.

"No, no, no, I am not King Cold. I am Android 21, the most outstanding life form in the universe, and the future ruler of the entire world. Thanks to you, I was able to undo my transformation. As a reward, I will slowly torture you and let you enjoy the pleasure of death first."

Android 21, with its scarlet eyes, looked like a demon emerging from the abyss, and the energy around it surged forth, overwhelming the nerves of Goku and the others.

Goku felt a chill in his heart, and his aura became unstable.

Vegeta and Trunks weren't much better off; the three of them, back to back, barely managed to withstand Android 21's momentum when they joined forces.

"Should we go and rescue them?" Suno looked down at the lower realm with a worried expression.

"Let them learn a lesson, at worst they'll just die again!" Roland said coldly. They were quite capable to have managed to escalate a battle that wasn't particularly dangerous into this.

This is Vegeta and his friends bringing trouble upon themselves. If they don't change their arrogant and conceited ways, they will cause even bigger trouble in the future.

In the original story, Vegeta made this mistake more than once or twice; almost every time his enemies became stronger, it was thanks to his help.

Goku raises the issue, Vegeta reinforces it—these two are amazing!

Although under Roland's influence, Goku's personality is not as naive as in the original work, he still has many minor flaws. He gets hot-headed and somewhat reckless when faced with high-level battles.

Seeing that Roland was determined to teach Vegeta and the others a lesson, Suno stopped talking. Anyway, with the Dragon Ball, they could just be resurrected after they died! Besides, Vegeta and the others really deserved to be taught a lesson for their behavior.

"Teacher, please save my dad!" the little girl Bulla pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears.

Roland patted Bulla's head and said softly, "Alright, it's just to teach them a lesson; their lives won't be in danger."
