Super 17

After successfully transforming into Super Saiyan God Blue, Lei Chen did not continue his training, but instead began to travel around this New Earth.

After all, one must eat one bite at a time. Being able to break through from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan God Blue in less than three years was already his limit; continuing to bury himself in grueling training would not yield much of an increase in combat power.

Everything must be done with feet firmly on the ground, one step at a time. One cannot be impatient for success; many things require a deep accumulation of effort before they can bloom.

Just like Lei Chen, who spent over forty years of bitter training to reach Super Saiyan 2, but after arriving on Earth and finding an excellent training environment, he went from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan God Blue in less than three years—or less than a month, if one excludes the time spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Time flowed on, and Lei Chen spent a rather comfortable period on Earth. Fifteen years had passed, and although Lei Chen's power had not increased significantly, he had stabilized the Super Saiyan God Blue transformation; now, he could maintain it without consuming much stamina.

On this day, the sun was bright, and Lei Chen was lying on a lounge chair, leisurely sipping fruit juice.

"I wonder when Super 17 will finally appear!"

Looking at the clear, blue sky, Lei Chen had no idea how much longer he would have to wait.

If 17 did not appear in the next few days, then he, Lei Chen, would have to leave this world.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, an explosion echoed, causing the juice in Lei Chen's hand to ripple slightly. Immediately after, the ground began to tremble.

"Whoosh!"

A strong gust of wind blew, causing the surrounding trees and flowers to sway violently.

Furthermore, Lei Chen noticed that the previously bright sky had suddenly darkened.

"Are the mortal realm and Hell merging together?"

Lei Chen's lips curled upward, a smile appearing on his face.

Lei Chen turned his head to look toward the source of the explosion, sensing several familiar yet strange auras.

They were familiar because he could clearly feel that he had encountered the owners of these auras before: Nappa, Frieza, Cell—who carried a mixture of everyone's energy—the Ginyu Force, King Cold...

They were strange because this was the GT timeline, so these auras were merely similar to the enemies Lei Chen had once known.

Aside from 17's aura, Lei Chen could sense almost every character from the story; perhaps because 17 was an android, Lei Chen could not detect his presence.

"Time to watch a live broadcast again!"

"Clack!"

He finished the juice in his cup and set it on the table.

With a thought, Lei Chen sensed Vegeta's aura and used Instant Transmission to arrive right beside him.

As for why Lei Chen didn't teleport to Son Goku, it was because Son Goku had already been lured into Hell.

Countless people who had once died were appearing in the mortal realm, and Earth was now in complete chaos.

One had to admit that Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu were both top-tier geniuses; even in death, they were able to ignore the rules of Hell and force the mortal realm and Hell to merge.

After King Cold, the Ginyu Force, and the others appeared, Son Gohan, Vegeta, and the rest had already rushed to the scene.

Upon seeing Vegeta, the Ginyu Force attacked without a word. Naturally, they hated Vegeta to the core for being the one who had killed them.

But unfortunately, they had picked the wrong opponent. Vegeta didn't even need to transform into a Super Saiyan; he wiped them out with a few casual energy blasts.

Meanwhile, King Cold sought out Trunks, who had killed him in the past. Unfortunately, not only did he pick the wrong person—this was not the same Trunks who had killed him—but he was also wiped out instantly.

"Hmph, and here I thought they might have become stronger over the years. They're nothing but weaklings."

Vegeta said with a cold snort.

With his old enemies reappearing, he had hoped to test the power of Super Saiyan 4, as he had grown a bit tired of sparring with Son Goku every day.

But upon arriving at the scene, he realized that King Cold, the Ginyu Force, and the others weren't even worth mentioning.

Let alone him, even young Saiyans like Son Gohan and Trunks could easily handle them; there was no need for him to be here at all.

"Yeah, I thought it would be more trouble than this!"

Son Goten said with a relaxed expression.

"Don't be careless, 17 hasn't shown himself yet."

Trunks said with a heavy expression. He still remembered how 17 had defeated him in a single move just hours ago; if 17 hadn't spared him to deliver a message to Son Goku, he would have been dead already.

"That's right, Goten. We cannot be careless. Even I couldn't defeat Trunks in a single move. Perhaps only Dad and Uncle Vegeta could do that."

Suddenly, Vegeta spoke up: "Come out. I know you've been watching for a long time."

"What!"

Son Goten was startled and said, "Could it be that 17 has been here the whole time?"

"Androids don't have auras, so it's normal that we couldn't detect him," Son Gohan said with a grave expression.

"Haha, so you finally noticed. It's a pity Son Goku isn't here; you are no match for my Super 17."

Just then, an aged voice rang out.

Son Gohan and the others tensed up simultaneously and looked toward the source of the sound.

Three figures appeared within their field of vision: two old men and a slender, long-haired youth.

"Dr. Gero!"

Son Gohan and the others exclaimed in shock.

The white-bearded, white-haired old man with a halo above his head was none other than the creator of the Androids, Dr. Gero.

"It's actually you, Dr. Myuu. I never imagined that even after dying, you could make it from Hell back to the world of the living!"

Trunks and Pan glared coldly at the other old man with yellow hair.

Baby, the creation of Dr. Myuu, had nearly destroyed the Earth; had Son Goku not transformed into a Super Saiyan 4 in the end, the consequences would have been dire.

However, Dr. Myuu had already been killed by Trunks and the others while they were in outer space, and they never expected to see him appear again.

To make matters worse, he was now colluding with Dr. Gero.

"I never thought you two would actually join forces."

Trunks said, his expression grim.

"Hmph, you are the common enemy of us both. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and now, we have returned for revenge!"

Dr. Myuu said, his face devoid of emotion.

"Hmph, revenge?"

"Don't overestimate yourselves. I have no interest in you two old geezers. Call out Super 17; that guy has been getting cocky ever since his power increased."

Vegeta gave a contemptuous smile, his words dripping with disdain.

The latter part of his sentence was something Lei Chen often used to berate Vegeta while they were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and now, Vegeta was using it against Super 17.

"Haha, 17? He is no longer just 17, but Super 17."

"Super 17, go! Kill them all for me!"

Dr. Gero sneered before shouting the command to summon Super 17.
