How to Subdue Cell Jr.

"Teacher, if I were to face Cell against Android 17, what would my chances of winning be?"

After watching the Cell Games, Android 18 began to doubt her ability to defeat Cell and desperately needed Roland's confirmation.

Looking at her beautiful disciple, Roland knew her unease and comforted her, "If we don't consider Cell's absorption ability, his strength is only slightly stronger than yours. Defeating him won't be easy, but he can't do anything to you either. Frankly speaking, there are very few people in the entire Universe 7 who can defeat Cell."

"However, you possess eternal energy, which is your advantage, and your talent is also quite good. If you cultivate diligently, you have nothing to fear from him."

"I was just scared by him. Thinking about it carefully, he's not that great. Master is much better. Cell was completely powerless against you."

After hearing Roland's words, Android 18 immediately calmed down and smiled broadly.

"The levels are different." Roland shook his head. "If it were Sephiria or Melutis, they could do it easily too."

"When did you develop that technique you used against Cell? I've never seen you use it before," Sephiria asked Roland, more interested in the method Roland used to neutralize Cell's final attack.

"That move is called 'Heavenly Strike,' a wide-area attack technique that I mastered on the Planet God-Killer."

"I thought so too, I haven't seen you use it before."

Sephiria had expected this, and a smile bloomed on her usually aloof face.

"Planet God-Killer ... It's been many years since I last saw Broly. Could I go with you to see him?" Upon hearing the name Planet God-Killer, Melutis's heart stirred and she suddenly spoke.

She had previously given up the opportunity to train in the Realm of the God of Destruction and the Planet God-Killer in order to take care of Alice. Now that Alice is capable of taking care of herself and does not need her care, the thought of going out to reunite with Broly suddenly sprouted in her mind.

Whether or not Roland could go to the Planet God-Killer was not something he could decide, so he replied, "I'll mention it to Whis; it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Thank you for your help," Melutis gratefully.

"Mommy, I want to see Daddy too!" Alice tugged at Melutis's sleeve, her adorable eyes looking at her.

"Alice, be good. You can't go where Mommy is going yet. Stay with your sister Askari for now; she'll take good care of you."

"Oh." Alice nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, stay with your older sister. She'll take good care of you."

Askari patted her chest to assure them that she really cared about this little sister, and gently patted Alice's face with both hands, rubbing her cute cheeks.

"Hehe, Askari, why do you always like to rub my face?"

"My sister likes you!" Askari blurted out.

"..."

Alice rolled her eyes in exasperation, causing everyone around to burst into laughter. Askari, however, felt embarrassed and, ignoring Alice's struggles, pulled her into her arms.

Ignoring her daughter and Alice's playful antics, Roland glanced at Android 18, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Lazuli, do you and Android 17 have the ability to survive in space?"

"No, we are all modified Earthling. Apart from our superhuman strength, we are physiologically no different from ordinary humans. At most, we just have a longer lifespan."

Android 18 shook her head, her delicate face appearing calm and serene.

"Then learn about 'Vital Energy Circulation,' which will help enhance your ability to survive in the universe."

Roland nodded and said that there was not much he could teach his two disciples. They had already mastered energy utilization and combat skills very well, but what they lacked were secret techniques to further improve them.

Upon hearing that there was also the ability to allow people to survive in space, Android 18 immediately inquired out of curiosity, and Roland then taught her the Vital Energy Circulation he had previously developed.

This secret technique was actually widespread on Planet Sadala and was a skill that every Saiyan had to learn. Although it couldn't allow life forms to survive in space for a long time, the Vital Energy Circulation could extend a person's lifespan after a planet was destroyed, preventing them from dying on the spot.

When combined with Instant Transmission, it becomes an essential life-saving technique.

It's funny, really. In the Dragon Ball world, the powerful characters who can destroy planets at the drop of a hat don't even have the ability to survive in space.

If Cell had been smarter and hadn't held the Cell Games, but instead secretly released an energy blast to destroy the planet, Goku and the others wouldn't have had a chance.

Of course, the reason he didn't do so might be because Cell still harbored the ambition to absorb Android 17 and Android 18 and become stronger, or perhaps the Saiyan cells within him were causing trouble, making him think he had the upper hand and want to show off in front of the Dragon Ball warriors, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard and lose everything.

Frankly speaking, the damage caused to Earth by the Cell Games was relatively minor. Apart from destroying cities and causing some panic, it caused almost no other losses, which would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

After all, the destruction caused by King Piccolo was far greater than this, and King Cold, upon his initial arrival on Earth, caused a catastrophe that destroyed the planet.

The group chatted and laughed, temporarily putting aside all their worries. Even Son Gohan had come to Planet Sadala with them, found everything around him novel and exciting since he was new to the place.

It was gradually approaching noon.

At lunchtime, several beautifully dressed and attractive Vine Race Maiden, arranged by Launch, served a sumptuous meal. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. The greatest joys in Saiyan life are fighting and good food; with these two things, nothing else matters.

After lunch, the group sat comfortably in the courtyard.

"By the way, Askari, why did you seal Cell? You're not really planning to subdue him, are you?" Android 18, wearing sunglasses, turned to Askari and asked.

"Is it not allowed?" Askari chuckled, covering her mouth.

"I think he has good strength, and if trained properly, he can become a great helper. My Askari Squad is in dire need of someone like him."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it and will end up causing all sorts of trouble."

Android 18 crossed her arms and reminded them in a pleasant voice.

Vegeta serves as a cautionary tale; he always manages to pull off risky moves when victory seems assured, leading to dire situations. Askari mustn't be as arrogant as him and do something foolish.

"It's alright, I'm confident!" Askari's eyes darted around, her expression calm.

At this moment, Son Gohan, who knew Cell best, was still worried and earnestly reminded him, "Cell isn't so easy to subdue. I've been chasing him for so long, I know his nature. He's destroyed countless planets in the past few years. In short, he's an extremely dangerous guy."

"Don't worry, he can't beat me." Askari waved her hand dismissively.

If he dares to rebel, beat him to death.

Son Gohan hesitated, unsure what to say. He wasn't very familiar with Askari and was worried that she might underestimate him because of Cell Jr.'s childlike appearance.

I hope nothing bad happens.

"Don't worry, this is Planet Sadala. Even if Cell comes out, he can't cause any trouble." Roland patted Son Gohan on the shoulder and smiled. "Gohan, if you're not in a hurry to get back to your world, you can visit Planet Sadala. There are many things here that you don't have there."

"Yes, there are plenty of good things on the Planet Sadala."

Bardock continued, saying that although the Son Gohan in front of him was not from their world, his similar appearance still made him feel a sense of goodwill.

"Yes, it's still a few days before I go back. I apologize for bothering you during this time."

"There's no question of disturbing you," Bardock laughed heartily. "If Gine saw you, she'd be in for a big surprise. And Raditz ... I forgot to tell you, Raditz is Kakarot's brother."

"I know Raditz, he's not dead?" Son Gohan asked, looking surprised.

"He almost died, but for Kakarot's sake, he was only captured and then taken back to the Planet Sadala by Paragus."

When Raditz's unsavory past was brought up, Bardock's face also darkened.

Both are his own sons, but the elder son Raditz is far inferior to the younger son Kakarot.

Son Gohan nodded. His memories of Raditz were very vague. Right, what was Raditz's power level again? Was it 1000 or 1500? He couldn't remember, after all, it was decades ago.

Thinking that every fighter on Planet Sadala was stronger than him, Son Gohan stopped worrying about Cell. Next, under Bardock's arrangement, he went to visit Bardock's home. Gine, knowing Son Gohan's identity, naturally gave him a warm welcome.

Son Gohan was also quite surprised to see Gine, never expecting that his "grandmother" would be such a gentle and kind Saiyan.

At Roland's house, the guests gradually departed.

Seeing Askari clinging to Alice and refusing to let go, she tapped Ascari on the head, then sat down beside her. "So, what do you plan to do with Cell Jr.?"

"Subdue..." Askari's lips parted slightly.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have a way to subdue him?" Roland glanced at him.

Askari chuckled, rolled over and lay down next to Roland, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "I haven't thought of a solution yet, but Daddy, you have to help me!"

"Leaving aside whether you can get Cell Jr.. to pledge allegiance to you, his identity alone is a problem."

Roland frowned. Cell Jr. Son Gohan, came from another universe, which was much farther away than a parallel universe. He remembered that when he first entered Son Gohan's world, he was soon expelled by the God of Destruction, Pomfrey. If Whis hadn't arrived in time, he would have been dead.

Similarly, when Cell Jr.. appeared on Earth, Whis quickly assigned him to handle the situation, demonstrating that the two universes are interconnected and cannot be crossed casually.

Furthermore, the blue Cell Jr. is different from the ones Android 17 later kept on the island.

The Cell Jr. sealed away by Askari was the original Cell, with an extremely fierce nature.

"Dad, whether I can have such a capable subordinate depends entirely on you," Askari said earnestly.

Roland rolled her eyes, looked at her daughter with annoyance, and waved her hand at her. "Alright, you're getting a good deal and still acting innocent. I've never seen a child as mischievous as you. Let me think, Cell's strength is indeed quite good, it's a waste to keep him sealed away."
