The terrifying head pat of death

South of East City,

Taikula Town.

Thick smoke billowed throughout the sprawling town, and flames soared into the sky.

Thunderous explosions echoed everywhere.

Android 17 and Android 18 had begun a merciless massacre here.

In just a few minutes, they had slaughtered the town's hundreds of thousands of residents.

Even the barking dogs had been blasted to ashes by energy blasts.

The entire town lay shattered, a sight too horrific to bear.

Hell on earth could have been no worse.

Android 17 raised his hand. Golden light coiled around it, and an energy sphere blasted out.

Boom!

A building over twenty stories tall exploded instantly, sending steel and concrete flying amid an endless barrage of cracks and crashes.

Then a black mushroom cloud surged skyward, and a wave of heat swept over everything.

"Android 17, everyone here is already dead. Stop wasting your energy. Let's go somewhere else. Head south. There should still be plenty of people waiting to play with us there."

The young woman spoke coldly, her arms folded across her chest.

This was Android 18, the Dragon Balls world's top-tier erotic doujin goddess.

She had smooth, shoulder-length blonde hair, an exquisite face, and delicate, fair skin.

She wore an unbuttoned denim jacket over a long-sleeved, horizontally striped T-shirt, giving her a sharp, no-nonsense look.

Below that was a denim miniskirt, with black stockings and tall boots accentuating her long, shapely legs. Her proportions were utterly perfect.

Standing there, she exuded the regal, icy allure of a mature beauty.

Android 17 glanced at her and said:

"What's the rush? Where's the fun in killing all the humans at once? Let's take our time, or we won't have anything left to play with."

Android 17 was a handsome youth who looked remarkably like Android 18.

Before being modified into androids, they had been twins, with her the older sister and him the younger brother.

That was why they looked so alike.

Android 17 also had long hair. His jet-black locks were even a little longer than Android 18's.

Though the two androids had been activated over a decade ago, their faces never aged. They looked exactly as they had back then, no older than seventeen or eighteen.

Android 17 wore an orange bandanna around his neck, a black shirt, and loose pants, with a handgun hanging at his waist like a Wild West cowboy.

The older sister was an icy beauty, while the younger brother was cold and handsome.

Judging by their appearance alone, no one could ever have imagined that these two were monsters who had slaughtered countless people.

Because of them, over seventy or eighty percent of humanity had already died.

Even a natural disaster or a zombie apocalypse would not have been so thorough.

Android 18 chuckled. "How childish. I think killing them all at once would be best."

At her words, Android 17 suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha, childish? And who was it who destroyed an entire city last time just because she lost a video game?"

"Hmph!" Android 18 turned her head away.

Then she raised her hand and pointed a finger.

Golden light flashed at her fingertip, and another building exploded.

"All right, let's wipe out this whole city at once, then head to South City to kill some more people," Android 17 said, flying high into the sky.

At the same time, an energy sphere rapidly formed in his right palm.

Scorching energy surged and blazed, illuminating a vast stretch of sky. He intended to flatten the city below in one strike.

Seeing this, Android 18 also flew up, lest the dust from the explosion dirty her clothes.

Just then, two figures shot toward them from the distant sky.

In the blink of an eye, they reached Android 17 and Android 18.

Before either android could react, each took a heavy kick and plummeted from the sky, smashing into the ground. The earth split open with a thunderous crash.

"Who was that? Damn it, you ruined my clothes!" Android 18 emerged from the smoke. Half her jacket and T-shirt had been blasted apart, exposing a dazzling expanse of fair skin.

"Damn it, these were my favorite clothes! I only have a few sets left."

She tore off the ruined denim jacket and wiped the dust from her face, utterly furious.

Android 17 flew out of the wreckage as well, his expression equally cold.

The culprits, Son Gohan and Trunks, descended from the sky and stood a short distance from the androids, staring at them expressionlessly.

Trunks glanced at Android 18 and noticed that much of her upper body was exposed. His face instantly flushed red, and he hurriedly looked away.

Seeing that the newcomers were Son Gohan and Trunks,

Android 17 and Android 18 both froze for a moment.

"Son Gohan, you're still alive? You really are hard to kill," Android 17 said in surprise.

"You're still alive. Why would I be dead?" Son Gohan replied coldly.

"Hmph, last time I said we should blast him to ashes with an energy blast, but you insisted he was dead. Guess you were wrong, Android 17," Android 18 said irritably, not caring in the slightest how much she was exposing.

Android 17 chuckled. "Isn't this perfect? We were bored anyway, and now the fun's come right to us."

His spirits lifted as he folded his arms and watched Son Gohan and Trunks with interest.

It was as though he were looking at two clowns who had no idea of their own limits.

Weren't they just asking to die?

"Hahaha, Son Gohan, you won't leave here alive this time. I'm going to blast you to dust and wipe you out completely!" Android 18 laughed.

"Hmph, die, Son Gohan."

With a cold snort, Android 18 stamped down hard. The ground could not withstand the immense force and shattered as she hurtled forward, skimming close to the earth.

The pitiful scraps of cloth over her chest swayed and fluttered in the wind.

Fan service galore!

Standing there, Son Gohan and Trunks felt that these two were unusually talkative today.

Talkative villains never came to a good end.

Son Gohan stared at Android 18. "Trunks, leave Android 18 to me. You take Android 17."

"Right, Gohan." Trunks breathed a sigh of relief and headed toward Android 17, who had been hoping to watch the show.

In a flash, Android 18 was only a few meters in front of Son Gohan.

She leaped up and threw a straight punch at his face.

Her fist tore through the air with astonishing force, hissing as it displayed her overwhelming strength.

Son Gohan watched her incoming fist coldly. In his eyes, Android 18 was now moving as slowly as a crawling turtle.

Heh, scared stiff? You're not even dodging? Android 18 sneered inwardly.

Her fist was already inches away.

Android 18 was certain that if this straight punch landed head-on, Son Gohan would either die or be crippled.

But just then,

Son Gohan shifted slightly to the side.

Android 18's fist brushed past him and struck empty air.

"What?"

Android 18 blanched. How could she have missed?

Before she could recover, a sharp pain tore through her abdomen.

She felt as if her stomach were about to split open.

Son Gohan's right fist had slammed into her lower abdomen.

Thud!

Android 18 spat out a mouthful of blood, and her perfectly proportioned body shot backward like a cannonball.

"Hmph, die."

With a cold sneer, Son Gohan surged after her and pressed his palm onto her head.

The terrifying head pat of death.

Terror filled Android 18's eyes. For the first time, she felt death looming so close.

"No!"

"Aah!"

Brilliant light flashed from Son Gohan's palm, and Android 18's head exploded with a bang.

Her once-alluring body fell into the dust, instantly losing its luster.

Son Gohan's eyes remained icy. With a flick of his finger, he blasted even her headless corpse into beautiful fireworks.

"How is this possible?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Seeing this horrific sight as he grappled with Trunks, Android 17's eyes bulged, his pupils shrinking violently.

"Aaah!"

He flew backward to put some distance between them, then waved both hands repeatedly, unleashing a roaring barrage of energy spheres.

The surrounding earth shattered inch by inch, devastating the landscape.

Thick smoke and raging flames spread out, enveloping several kilometers.

The ground caved in, and Taikula Town ceased to exist.

Son Gohan flew high into the sky, repeatedly sweeping away the smoke with his sleeve.

At the center of the explosions, Trunks was completely unharmed. Not a single energy sphere had struck him; he had dodged them all.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly and suddenly accelerated, appearing behind Android 17 in an instant.

Danger!

Sensing the towering killing intent behind him, Android 17 felt his hair stand on end. Energy flashed in his hand again, and he thrust his palm backward.

To his surprise, Trunks did not dodge this time. Instead, he raised his own hand to strike.

Their palms collided, and a storm of energy erupted around them.

Just then, Trunks curled his fingers into a claw and seized Android 17's arm. With a powerful swing, he hurled him high into the sky.

Immediately afterward, brilliant light erupted from Trunks's entire body, and an energy sphere shot skyward, chasing Android 17.

Utterly terrified, Android 17 let out a piercing scream.

But his screams were soon drowned out by the explosion.

The energy sphere swallowed his body, twisting and deforming it before tearing it apart and vaporizing it.

A blinding, earth-shaking flash blotted out the sky and sun, lasting a full ten seconds before it vanished.

Much of the gloom overhead had been scattered, finally allowing the long-absent sunlight to shine through.
