Cell: Damn it, why can't I absorb it?

"We've been waiting for you for a long time too."

Upon seeing Cell finally appear, Android 18's face broke into a charming smile.

"You know me?"

Cell frowned, then suddenly realized something. "You learned this from Dr. Gero, right? Then you should know the meaning of your existence. Let's merge into one and become an even more powerful Android!"

"Cell, you want to absorb us? You're dreaming."

Android 17 curled his lip, his gaze towards Cell filled with hostility.

"You don't want to? Then forget it. You've missed your chance to become perfect Android." Cell shook his head with some regret, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at Android 17 and Android 18.

After absorbing the life essence of countless humans, Cell's strength had almost returned to its peak. He was 100% confident that he could defeat Android 17 and Android 18. According to the computer's calculations, if he absorbed even more life essence and then fused with Android 17 and Android 18, he could become even more perfect.

However, there are too many uncertainties on Earth now. To be on the safe side and in order to gain a foothold on Earth, he needs to become Perfect Form as soon as possible.

"Android 18, listen to what he's saying. What does he mean by 'we missed the chance to become perfect Android '? This guy always has this inexplicable confidence."

Android 17 pursed his lips, looking at Cell as if he were a clown.

A nameless rage suddenly welled up inside me.

Android with a combat power of 1.5 billion actually wants to absorb them, siblings? That's just wishful thinking.

If they were no match for Cell when they first awoke, their strength had been greatly enhanced by Roland's training.

"Hmm, he's got too much of an inflated ego. He probably hasn't experienced any setbacks since his debut. It's probably because of his Saiyan genes." Android 18 crossed his arms, leaned against the side of the pickup truck, and sneered. "Heh, what perfect Android? We're already perfect enough with our unlimited energy."

"Android 16, your fighting strength is a bit stronger than Cell's, right? Want to have some fun with him?"

"No, my strength is about the same as his. If I were to fight him, it would cause huge damage to the surrounding environment, which wouldn't be good. It would be more direct for you to take action."

Android 16 shook his head and got out of the small truck.

"You're so lazy, you need to exercise more."

Android 18 chuckled softly, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Since Android 16 isn't willing to take action, then leave it to us. He's just a nobody; it won't take long." Android 17 loosened the scarf around his neck and chuckled. "Android 16, you'd better keep a close eye on our little truck and make sure it's not damaged."

"Don't worry," Android 16 said in a kind voice.

"And who is this big guy?"

Cell's expression darkened instantly. His cold gaze swept over Android 16, and when he saw the "RR" letters on Android 16's chest, his pupils constricted sharply. Another Android he had never heard of before.

How many Android did Dr. Gero actually create?

The history of this world is indeed different from what is recorded.

"Hmph, no matter how history changes, once I reach my Perfect Form, the whole world will be mine," Cell sneered, brimming with intense confidence.

At this moment, Android 17 and Android 18 stepped forward at the same time, blocking Cell from the left and right.

"You may not know this, but I am not actually Android from this era. I come from the future. When I was born, the computer told me that only by absorbing you could I become a more perfect Perfect Form. However, in my time, you have already been destroyed by Trunks, so even if I wanted to become more perfect, I would have no chance."

"Fortunately, I discovered that Trunks actually possesses a Time Machine capable of traveling through time."

"So, in order to travel to the era when you are still alive, I killed Trunks and stole his Time Machine. Now my wish is finally about to come true."

Cell was completely unaware of the impending crisis and continued to speak confidently.

This penchant for grandstanding and affected elegance in front of enemies may stem from the Frieza gene within him.

"Tch, they were actually killed by that brat Trunks. We from the other world are so useless." Android 17 shook his head expressionlessly. He had already heard this story from Roland, so he wasn't surprised at all.

"However, you will soon find that coming to this era was your biggest mistake, because you have no idea of our power. If you want to absorb us, you'll have to see what you're capable of."

Android 18's cool voice came through.

"Hmm?" Cell's eyes flickered.

He wanted to see what Android 18 and his group had to rely on.

"I'll play along with you!" Android 18 chuckled elegantly, then launched an attack. She wasn't going to let Cell get away.

A blurry figure suddenly flashed by, and a fierce attack came crashing down. Cell was caught off guard and his opponent got there first, leaving him struggling to defend himself.

Boom... Bang! The mountain trembled, and under the impact of the enormous energy, it began to collapse on a large scale. The air surged, yellow sand filled the sky, and a rolling torrent spread out.

"Hateful!"

Cell was caught off guard by Android 18's attack and was momentarily stunned. His anger rapidly accumulated, and he suddenly unleashed all his power. Golden flames surrounded him, and a terrifying aura formed a wall of energy that neutralized Android 18's attack.

"This is... Super Saiyan transformation?"

Android 18 was slightly surprised, but upon closer inspection, Cell's fighting power had not increased significantly; it was clearly just an energy burst, not Super Saiyan transformation.

A sweet smile crept onto her face as Android 18 continued her relentless attack on Cell.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The continuous blows completely suppressed Cell, who was using all his strength, giving him no chance to retaliate.

"How could this be? Is Android 18 really that strong?!"

Being beaten was not a pleasant experience. Cell was greatly shocked. His face turned ashen, and he looked at the girl who exuded a powerful aura with alarm. He took a deep breath and felt a slight chill in his heart.

"According to intelligence, Android 18 shouldn't have such strength. Something must have gone wrong!" Cell felt a chill run down his spine and passively went on the defensive.

"Android 18, throw him at me and let me have some fun!" Android 17 shouted.

"Here you go!" Android 18 slapped Cell's body with her slender hand, releasing a burst of violent power that sent Cell flying towards Android 17.

Android 17 smiled coldly, his domineering power flowing through his body as he raised his leg and kicked down with tremendous force.

Bang!

A beam of light pierced the air, and shockwaves radiated outwards in concentric circles from it.

Boom!

The earthquake trembled violently, and a huge hole was punched into the vast earth. The surrounding hard rocks cracked and bulged upwards from the enormous impact, and the terrifying impact cracks spread outwards, turning an area within a radius of a thousand meters into a chillingly broken zone.

"Ah!!"

The earth shook violently, and rocks flew everywhere! Cell burst out of the ground in a rage, his face grim, his eyes bulging with fury, and an invisible, chilling aura emanating from him, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.

"Damn it, damn it, I'll kill you all!!"

"Tsk tsk, is this all the power you have? Somewhat disappointing, you're far inferior to Trunks and the others!"

Silently comparing Trunks to Cell, Android 17's face immediately filled with disdain. The original form of Cell was far inferior to the Super Saiyan Full Power level Trunks. How dare he try to devour them with such power? He was far too presumptuous.

"Damn it, Android 17's power is that strong too!"

"How can I absorb them?"

Cell was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

According to computer simulations, if he devours Android 17 and Android 18, he can evolve into an invincible, Perfect Form, ruling the world with unchallenged authority. He went through countless hardships to reach this world, hoping to finally achieve his goal of becoming Perfect Form, but now he sadly discovers that he can't even defeat Android 17 and Android 18, who were his evolutionary materials. What is he to do?

Perhaps I shouldn't have chosen this world!

Cell's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly felt a sense of regret or resentment at being born at the wrong time.

"Cell is nothing special; I didn't even use half of my power."

Android 18 tossed her golden hair, her face showing considerable disappointment. After training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, her strength, while not quite reaching that of Super Perfect Cell in the original story, was still quite close. Even Cell in his Perfect Form was far from being her match, let alone Cell in his original form.

"He was just unlucky to have come to our world. If he had been a little luckier and gone to another parallel world, he might have been able to become the Perfect Form."

Android 17 spoke casually, a high curve at the corners of his mouth.

"Then we should get rid of him even more. Shall we do it, you or me?" Android 18's sky-blue eyes flashed with a cold light.

Android 17 looked at her calmly, letting Android 18 make the decision herself.

"Let me do it!"

Android 18 extended a pure white palm, and a ball of white energy was brewing in the palm.

"I won't be killed by you!" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Cell spat out the blood and roared, placing his hands on either side of his forehead.

"Solar Flare!!"

Suddenly, it was as if another sun had appeared in the sky, its dazzling light illuminating the entire expanse and temporarily blinding everyone.

Android 17 and Android 18 floated in mid-air, stunned, and the energy ball in Android 18's hand paused slightly.

"A great opportunity!"

Cell's face lit up with joy, and he was overjoyed. He abandoned Android 18 and rushed towards Android 17. At the same time, the end of his tail suddenly opened up and turned into a trumpet-shaped absorption disc.

"Android 17, become a part of my body, become the raw material for my evolution!"

Cell shouted excitedly. He had been at his wit's end, but unexpectedly, a turning point had suddenly appeared. As long as he absorbed Android 17, his strength would increase significantly, and then Android 18 would be no problem.

Laugh!

The trumpet-shaped absorber wrapped around Android 17's foot and then wriggled to absorb him.

But the next moment, Cell's surprised expression froze.

He discovered that he couldn't inhale at all.

"Impossible. Once someone is sucked in by my suction cup, they should be unable to resist instantly." Cell's suction cup was specifically designed for Android 17 and Android 18. Theoretically, once someone is sucked in, they should be unable to resist instantly.

"Teacher is right, your energy is far inferior to mine. You're like a small horse pulling a big cart, how could you possibly manage to pull it up? Ugh, this tail is really an eyesore!"

Android 17's indifferent voice rang in my ears.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Cell's forehead. He swallowed hard, and his scalp tingled.

Pfft!

A heart-wrenching pain surged through his brain, and a green object was thrown out. Cell watched helplessly as Android 17 tore off his tail and then destroyed it with a Ki Blast.

"Android 18, I'm angry! I want to kill this guy myself!" Android 17 exuded a chilling aura, his handsome face covered in frost.

"Whatever you like." Android 18's calm voice came from behind.

"No!"

Cell trembled and staggered back, staring at Android 17 with a look of terror on his face.
