"Not bad. He'll make a decent toy. You can have him."
Android 18 said with a smile.
"Ah, what a pain. I hope this piece of trash can at least give me a good time."
Android 17 replied with a sigh.
He seemed to think Ji Yun was already as good as beaten.
"Hey, you over there. You're my opponent."
"I'll even let you have one hand."
"But I'll make this clear right now: if you can't make this fun for me, I'll kill you!"
Android 17 shouted at Ji Yun, his eyes full of mockery.
"This guy's so damn cocky."
Trunks clenched his fists.
He wished he could charge over and kill him right then and there.
"What's the matter, Trunks? You look like you're not happy about this."
"Then the two of you can come at me together. I'll take care of you both!"
Android 17 said with a broad grin.
He loved seeing people get angry.
The angrier they got, the happier he was.
"Android 17, I told you Trunks is mine. Don't cross the line!"
Android 18 said coldly to Android 17.
"All right, all right. I get it."
Android 17 replied impatiently.
"Trunks, keep your cool. Taking them down is no big deal."
Ji Yun said calmly to Trunks.
They were just androids. With his current strength, beating them would be a breeze!
But if he killed them outright, that would be letting them off too easily.
As soon as Ji Yun finished speaking, something strange happened.
For an instant, time seemed to stop throughout the world.
But nobody present sensed the pause.
"You're all going to die anyway, so there's no point fighting over it!"
Ji Yun's low voice sounded from behind Android 17 and Android 18.
"When did you—?!"
The two of them jolted in shock and whipped around.
Ji Yun's icy face appeared before them.
"S-so fast!"
Trunks was so astonished he could barely speak.
Ji Yun had just been talking to him. How had he suddenly ended up behind the androids?
He hadn't even been able to follow Ji Yun's movements.
Android 17 and Android 18 exchanged a glance, then quickly backed away from him.
"This guy means business."
Android 17's expression finally grew serious. His opponent's speed was beyond anything he'd imagined.
"You killed all the good people."
"Doesn't that just leave me, the ruthless one?"
Ji Yun's light voice sounded from behind them again.
The words struck like a thunderclap.
They exploded in the two androids' minds.
Android 17 and Android 18 turned around again.
There was Ji Yun, his face still cold as frost.
"T-this is impossible!" Android 18 cried.
She hadn't taken her eyes off Ji Yun.
And yet, in that instant, he had seemed to vanish into thin air.
When he reappeared, he was behind them.
"Bastard, die!"
Android 17 shouted in a fit of rage.
A ball of energy formed in his hand, and he hurled it at Ji Yun.
"I'm right here. Where are you aiming?"
Ji Yun appeared beside Android 17 and patted him on the shoulder.
"Th-this..."
Android 17 looked as if he'd seen a ghost, his face filled with terror.
He'd fired the energy blast instantly.
No matter how fast this guy was,
he should have needed to see the blast launched before dodging it. He should have had at least some reaction time, right?
But when the guy appeared beside him, Android 17 had only just started to raise his hand.
When Ji Yun patted his shoulder, the energy blast had only just left his hand.
It was as if he'd fallen out of sync with the world, always half a beat behind.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a ghost."
Ji Yun regarded Android 17 calmly.
He'd simply used the Flash Time Skill.
A tenth of a second might not seem like much.
But at his speed, a tenth of a second was enough to perform an entire military boxing routine, followed by a 360-degree flip.
"Android 18, attack with me!"
Android 17 gritted his teeth.
Android 18's expression had also turned gloomy.
This guy was seriously strange. If they didn't take him seriously, their happy lives might really come to an end.
As soon as he finished speaking,
the two of them swung their fists, preparing to attack Ji Yun from both sides.
"Hmph!"
Ji Yun snorted and activated the Flash Time Skill again.
Before their attacks could even reach him, Ji Yun had already landed hundreds of punches on them.
The two androids' fists froze in midair.
Then they clutched their stomachs and collapsed to the ground.
"What happened? Why did the androids fall over?"
Trunks licked his lips.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
From where he stood, he'd only seen Android 17 and Android 18 attack Ji Yun at the same time.
Ji Yun had stood perfectly still.
The two androids' fists had stopped in midair, and their bodies had seemed to suffer a heavy blow before they fell face-first to the ground.
If this weren't happening right in front of him, Trunks would've thought the three of them were faking the fight.
"The androids were knocked down?"
"We have a chance!"
The survivors had also been watching the battle closely.
When they saw Android 17 and Android 18 fall, their eyes lit up with joy.
"Trunks wasn't lying. That young man really is strong!"
The people who'd doubted Ji Yun earlier all looked ashamed.
Those were androids. No one had ever managed to knock them down, let alone both of them at once.
It was like a divine warrior had descended from the heavens.
"Don't celebrate too soon."
"They're not dead yet!"
Trunks's gaze remained grave.
"So? Do you still want to fight?"
Ji Yun looked indifferently at the two on the ground.
"Pfft. That's all you've got? I thought you were supposed to be strong."
Android 17 rolled over and got back to his feet.
He still hadn't figured out how he'd been hit.
He only knew that his chest and lower abdomen felt as if they'd been pounded hundreds of times.
But that level of force wasn't enough to kill him.
"If that's the full strength of your attacks,"
"then you can't kill us."
Android 18 slowly rose as well, a mocking smile on her lips.
She still didn't understand why Ji Yun's ability was so bizarre.
But judging by the attacks they'd just taken, he couldn't do them any real harm.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ji Yun smiled coldly, a trace of disdain in his eyes.
His base battle power was seventy million, and Ten Times Kaio-ken could boost it to seven hundred million.
Taking the two of them out instantly would be easy.
He just didn't want to.
"You've brought so much suffering to this world."
"If I just let you die quickly, wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?"
"Killing with a sharp knife is satisfying."
"But I like to kill you slowly with a blunt knife, and savor the pleasure your pain brings me!"
Ji Yun smiled like a demon.
Before you continue
